  1. I just wanted to add that I think Labview For Everyone is a great book. It is easy to read, lots of good examples.

    I dont want anyone to get the wrong idea, I was just having a little fun while I was waiting for Labview 2009 to install. I would recommend this book to anyone!

  2. I guess I should also mention that I have purchased two books:

    Head First Design Patterns

    The Object Oriented Thought Process

    I forget who recommended them but I have only just began reading Head First Design Patterns. I'm going to read these in my spare time as I am trying to learn LVOOP. (I'm pretty sure I want to learn LVOOP rather than GOOP since LVOOP is already included in Labview)

  3. Hi Daryl

    I'm sorry to here that the OOP class didn't deliver what it promised.

    You could start here: http://lavag.org/top...-goop-prgamming

    I've also uploaded some videos, but those are focusing on the Goop Development Suite.

    Tomi has made a nice video that you can try.

    Mikael,

    Thank you very much. I will spend some time today going through these links. Do you recommend the endevo version over the LV version of OOP?

    Do you have any OOP experience outside of LabVIEW?

    Good question. I have very little OOP experience outside of Labview. The little I do have was in a JAVA project that I sort of "winged".

  4. Ok, so I took the OOP class (within the last few months) and now I am more confused than before I took the class. There was a LV Architect in the class and it seems that his only reason for taking the class was so he could argue with the teacher. About everything. The entire class. This really made it difficult to really get any value from the course and i'd loved to have strangled the guy. But I didnt. :frusty:

    Anyhow, I now have a little extra time to jump back into LVOOP. Can anyone suggest a good place to start?

  5. Sorry if anybody didn't understand my last message. I mean LabVIEW isn't compatible with poor display resolutions, which netbooks have. As you can see on my screenshot the three buttons are not visible on the screen.

    I have DELL Mini 10 with Ubuntu installed. I'm very happy with this netbook :thumbup1:

    You might be able to fix that by adjusting your DPI setting. I had the same issue on a DELL Inspirion and changed to DPI from 96 to 120 (or vice versa, I foget now)

  6. I live in a unsafety city. I always think whether it is possible to build a radar/thermal infrared circuit to detect someone who are close to me/ move toward me very fast. :shifty:

    I thought to use ultrasould device like a bat's hearing system, but this may not work because my body will stop part of the ultrasound. Then, the system will not work for 360 degrees.

    Any suggestion?? tell me your what you think. :lol:

    By a gun. Get some training and a CCW.

    Or move to a safer place.

  7. Because in USA are the money there is the biggest thief Bernard Madoff .

    Evolution is accepted in USA at the same level like in Turkey.

    The best place to study the Evolution on people are the communist countries from East Europe because there the communism separated very well people at animal level(98% of people how I calculated) who became communists , prostitutes(informers)…

    I hope somebody from UN, EU will start a project to study the evolution at least in one communist country from East Europe where were dictators like in Romania for example.

    alfa,

    have you ever written anything in Labview?

  8. Oh, but do you remember how there were a few curmudgeons who thought implementing UNDO was the biggest waste of NIs time? "No one needs undo", they said. "NI needs to be spending it's time adding functionality to LabVIEW, not useless bells and whistles. You all should just be more careful when you're programming. " blink.gif

    Wow, you are kidding me!

    It would be interesting to make an "undo counter" just to see how many times i use it in an average day. Might be shocking

    :oops:

  9. [set groan alert = True]

    One of my wifes war stories.

    IN th days of DOS...

    There was a command that created a folder and then set the defaul to same. There was also an option that could be set in the boot file to show the default as part of teh prompt. Customer wanted create a floder for teh Public Utilit Comision PUC. He tried and did not see teh prompt change. treied again an no change. Call in my wife. she found the default was not set in the boot file so he he had a path of C:/PUC/PUC/PUC/PUC...

    Her bnoss asked what the problem was. She said "oh he had the directory structure all PUC-ed up."

  10. Ok, I just spent over an hour troubleshooting a problem that made no sense at all. To make a long story short, I am using the quotient& remainder function and some simple logic to determine every 1 second of Igniton=on time from a data file.

    Anyhow, I have a type def with several doubles in it that I read from shift register, modify, and write back to shift register in a certain state of a state machine.

    I needed to add another double to the type def so, open type def, select a double, ctrl+drag, rename and you have a new double in your type def, right?

    So, I start running the program and checking things out and my new double has values that just dont make any sense at all. I can see what I am writing to it and where I am writing to it but the value I am writing is not what I am getting out when I read it in the next iteration of the loop.

    Turns out, I must not have had the ctrl key pressed all the way down when I dragged and renamed my new double in the type def so all I really did was rename the original double which was then getting written to again in another state of the state machine!!!!

    DOH!!!!!

  11. My mum sent this to me this morning, and I thought it appropriate to share in our current times smile.gif

    That is so funny. I have a puppy who looks very similar to that, and 2 outside kittens that look just like that. I have never seen my puppy sit on the kittens, he usually just drags them around by their head instead laugh.gif

    BTW - that is good advice, your mum is wise wink.gif
