QUOTE (BobHamburger @ Jan 6 2009, 05:25 PM) I think that question would be more clear and would be testing more pertinent knowledge if it was turned around: "Which plot type is the only one that plots data points that are not uniformly space on the x-axis?".

QUOTE (Yair @ Jan 6 2009, 12:36 PM) I must admit that I don't understand this. Why is the correct answer not D, both Waveform Graph and Waveform Chart?

QUOTE (test001only @ Dec 12 2008, 03:02 AM) Ben (aka neB) has http://forums.lavag.org/So-many-binary-file-options-t5506.html&p=21758#entry21758' target="_blank">written about this in the past.

QUOTE (Michael_Aivaliotis @ Dec 11 2008, 04:09 AM) That's funny... He also posted on a http://www.paganlibrary.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=5664' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">pagan forum. They threatened to nuke him too. There's some great irony in there somewhere.

QUOTE (rolfk @ Dec 9 2008, 01:42 PM) Rolf, You are exactly right. See http://www.ll.mit.edu/HPEC/agendas/proc08/Day1/12-Day1-PosterDemoA-Bash-abstract.pdf' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">here. I suspect that the performance enhancement of simply running on a GPU are marginal, as this paper would indicate. I would expect you could see the huge speedups once you figure out how to parallelize your calculations over 240 cores. Gary

QUOTE (petersrule2003 @ Dec 9 2008, 12:28 AM) I think we're all curious about how you could create an oscilloscope using the serial port.

I've just started looking into this from the Matlab side. The Tesla ($1700 on TigerDirect) has a GPU, but is not actually a graphics card (i.e. no graphics output). It uses the GPU architecture with 240 processing cores to provide general purpose processing. What I'm still unsure of is how high-level languages like Matlab and LabVIEW can take advantage of the massive parallelization that the hardware is capable of providing.

QUOTE (God @ Dec 6 2008, 02:12 PM) If you Google the name, you'll find that God also participates in a wine forum. (entertaining reading, by the way) Quite diverse interests.

QUOTE (FLAnatic @ Dec 2 2008, 09:12 AM) I love my dual monitor setup. I get very frustrated when I have to work with just one monitor.

Has anyone here used a DAC281 by 4DSP? If so, what kind of hoops did you have to jump though to get some decent documentation on the drivers? Thanks, Gary

QUOTE (Vinny @ Nov 8 2008, 12:02 PM) Does anyone know if LV7.11 works on XP Embedded?

QUOTE (sachsm @ Nov 20 2008, 10:57 AM) That's hilarious!

QUOTE (neB @ Oct 10 2008, 09:22 AM) Matlab has a function that will tell you the size of the largest 10 contiguous blocks of free memory. You cannot have a single variable that is larger than your largest contiguous memory block. I assume it must be getting this memory from some Windows DLL call (although I don't know which one). If you could duplicate these system calls in LV, you might be able to get what you need.

QUOTE (Michael_Aivaliotis @ Aug 18 2008, 08:12 PM) You beat me to it! I was going to suggest: - What does HH stand for? - Who is Alfa? - Which LabVIEW Champion spells his name backwards?

This coming January, my wife will be running a half-marathon to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. She will be doing this in honor of Morgan, a 4-year-old who was diagnosed with leukemia this summer. Please visit her fundraising page: http://pages.teamintraining.org/nca/wdw09/arubin94rw We would appreciate any support you can give. Thanks, Gary

QUOTE (Shana@Pfizer @ Jul 24 2008, 04:32 PM) LabVIEW lays an egg? (sorry, couldn't help the pun...)

QUOTE (Yair @ Jul 24 2008, 01:03 PM) I seem to have found what I was looking for. Since I'm not looking for a project, $20 (or free for 30 days) is a pretty good deal.

QUOTE (Neville D @ Jul 24 2008, 12:28 PM) Unfortunately, that one is pretty expensive when you include the ~$2000 for LV8.5. Also, based on the description, his saves the screenshot to an image file - I wanted something that would dump it into a document, saving myself having to switch windows and hit Ctrl-C.

Does anyone know of a screenshot utility for Windows that will not just copy the screenshot to the clipboard, but will also automatically paste it into a Word doc? And, yes, I know I could probably write this myself in LabVIEW... Thanks, Gary EDIT: Answered my own question with a bit more googling: http://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm

QUOTE (kmc @ Jul 17 2008, 10:14 AM) Here's a reply. Nobody here on LAVA is obligated to reply. Everyone who does offer help is doing it out of the kindness of their hearts. Think of it as a favor they are doing for you. Would you want to do someone a favor if they were jumping up and down, screaming, and asking why you weren't ignoring your own work to help them?

QUOTE (neB @ Jul 14 2008, 02:45 PM) Thanks, Ben. I usually put my connector-pane terminals outside case structures, with empty arrays for which I don't want data, but I'd better make sure I've done it every time. Gary

QUOTE (Aristos Queue @ Jul 14 2008, 02:25 PM) Is this a more technical way of saying that your connector-pane terminals should not reside within loops, case structures, event structures, or (shudder) sequence structures?

Congratulations, Ben!

QUOTE (mross @ Jul 3 2008, 01:30 PM) Funny, for some reason I never use the derivative. Here's my typical implementation of your example. http://lavag.org/old_files/monthly_07_2008/post-4344-1215106829.gif' target="_blank"> EDIT: Oops, the inputs to the minus are flipped from what they should be.
