  1. Is there a way to create names for unnamed wires before they are bundled so Unbundle By Name can be used? I have 7 image wires coming out of a subVI, and I am wanting to modify the subVI to output only a cluster of the images so it can be passed around the main app easier. I experimented by bundling the outputs (outside the subVI). Unbundling that cluster by name works (the wires are named the same as the outputs of the subVI). So I tried bundling those same wires within the subVI, passing the cluster out, and then unbundled by name outside the subVI. The wires are all named "New Image" because (I'm assuming) that's the name that the "IMAQ Create" VI outputs are inside the subVI. I suppose I could nest my subVI inside another which only bundles the image outputs of the first subVI. If I can't figure out another way of doing it, that's what I'll do. Isn't there a better way? Thanks, Brad
  2. I often use "Find" to see where a control/indicator is being written to by using the right-click pop-up menu. That means I have to look through ALL the locals, global references, and property nodes to make sure I find them all. It would be extremely helpful to include an option to look for only writes or only reads, and that option would pick up on all locals, global references and property nodes at once for that control/indicator. That way, a quick glance at the Search Results would be all that is needed to verify a control/indicator is being changed from only one location, etc. Also, the general option to Find locals and property nodes at the same time would be nice. Maybe even add an "Advanced..." or "Customize..." option to the Find sub-menu where you could quickly configure whatever you want it to do. Even allow the user to make custom "Find" sub-menu options? I maintain/debug programs that others created, so to learn the programs and find the bad programming practices I use the right-click>>Find a LOT. An enhanced Find would save me a lot of time and effort. - Brad
  3. The triangles with dots are inverters (a common IC). OC means open collector. You would have to use an inverter with an open collector type output (these are also common) for what is pictured in fig 5. You can also use NAND or NOR gate chips as inverters by connecting both inputs of each gate together. I looked at the link you gave for ni.com, and this is what I gave for feedback on that page: ************ In fig 5 I am not sure what D0-D7 are. Are they D0-D7 of the parallel port? If so, why are you connecting them to status and control lines on the same port, especially when you are saying that you can't depend on a parallel port being bidirectional? Without looking at the VIs and reading more than this article, I have to assume D0-D7 are digital I/O lines of a DAQ card that are interfaced to the status and control lines of a parallel port. Is that correct? The text surrounding fig 5 is not clear about this at all. ************
