Ok, I got it to work. Very interesting, I had to put a "*" in the Exported VI's settings.

Can anyone recommend a 6-axis robotic arm with about a 1m reach and a payload of about 15kg? The lighter the better.

Thanks,

Gary

are you building a sammich maker?

I was trying to install the code capture package but VIPM cannot connect to Labview (please see attachment screen shot of error box)

I have verified all of my settings with VI Server and have no clue what happened, any ideas?

Thanks smenjoulet,

I must have been too tired when I was working on this yesterday as I was way off sniffing around in GObject class.

Is it possible to problematically get a reference to every control on a certain tab of a tab control?

Well said.

10 years is a pretty short time to turn data into information in this instance. Hey - last winter was colder than the winter before, therefore global warming doesn't exist, right?

My understanding is that the atmospheric temperature isn't the concern (yet), it's more the ocean temperatures rising.

For goodness sake - stop throwing mud when you're doing exactly the same thing! you've listed 5 bad practises, and shown us 1 example that backs up 1 example of 1 of them! ...and you haven't backed up the "nefarious" comment. I tried to steer this thread toward what I thought you wanted: I though you were after a sensible discussion of the facts, and how left keep making unfounded accusations, but here you are doing exactly the same thing. What do you want from this thread? Are you just using it as a sounding board because you're cranky with the flu? If so, I'll stop posting now. If you're actually interested in finding out the truth, or even discussing how both sides manipulate data to their own ends, then I'll stick around. But you need to choose which topic you want to discuss.

Well put. An old physics professor of mine once said "there is no bad data, just bad interpretations". I totally agree that if scientists are found willingly changing data then they need to be hung, drawn and quartered. The problem is that (for the most part) a lot of the data is in formats that is difficult, if not impossible, for the general public to digest - that's when "commentators" come in to play, and try to interpret the data - sometimes to their own end

So, I don't think that we can call global wamring/climate change/the greenhouse eefect a scam just because some sicentists have fiddled with some numbers.

That is so totally the issue here - not wether climate change is happening, but that the data is being skewed by both sides to their own ends.

Wouldn't it be great if we all looked at the data and could understand it so that didn't have to "beleive" anything? Now we're starting to get into the world of religion

you might have achieved the multi-quote world record here

I dont think so. Not yet anyhow.

:lol::lol:

From PaulG:

"can't believe so many otherwise intelligent PROGRAMMERS can be so flippant about cooking data, manipulating data, using "tricks" on data, hiding data and DELETING data for nefarious purposes."

The articles I linked to discuss the global cooling of the past 10 years argument which happened to be mentioned by you and are also related to the problem of manipulating data, and using tricks on data concerning the intelligent programmers quote.

Exactly. 2 different issues. You took my response to one issue and applied it to the other completely changing what I said.

have a nice day.

Here are some interesting articles related to your statement. But all of us "intelligent programmers" are experts on the climate right?

http://arstechnica.c...-statistics.ars

You took the "intelligent programmers" (that I didn't write in the first place, just agreed with the OP's point) thing out of context and used it in response to a different issue.

We could sit here all day long and post contradicting links without changing each others minds. Believe what you want, i'll do the same.

I can't believe so many otherwise intelligent PROGRAMMERS can be so flippant about cooking data, manipulating data, using "tricks" on data, hiding data and DELETING data for nefarious purposes.

Did I wake up in a parallel universe?

If this turns out to be the scam I believe it is the ramifications are stunning. I called this the biggest scam in history because in terms of monetary and political clout it IS. We are talking huge global financial and political consequences. Why? A bunch of elitist politicians and climatologists traded in their collective integrity so they wouldn't lose their funding, Nobel prizes and clout in the UN.

What bothers me the most about this is that we need to count on scientists to have a certain amount of integrity. What happens the next time a group of scientists cry wolf?

"A meteor is coming and it will destroy the earth!" "Oh, yea, sure, I remember 'climategate'".

"A new influenza has just mutated and it could kill billions!" "Oh, yea, sure, I remember 'climategate'".

"The earth REALLY IS warming, and it's OUR FAULT! We have to change our lifestyles NOW or we are ALL GOING TO DIE!" "Oh, yea, sure, I remember 'climategate'".

Everyone's ears and brains should have gone into alert mode when they stopped calling it "global warming" and started calling it "climate change". WTH is CLIMATE CHANGE?! What's up with that?! Otherwise intelligent people are buying this nonsense!!!

+1

I figure what Paul G. is commenting on is that climate change is a "scam", and while you've got some interesting points, let's keep it on that very narrow topic as to discuss it with more clarity.

If I may summarise the portion of your post that's on topic: your answer to my "What's in it for the scientists that say it's true?" question is that their doomsday results increase the probabilty of their programmes' further funding. Got any references to back that up?

Come back to me when you do. I'm not saying that you're wrong or right, but, as a semi-retired scientist, I'm sick of wild (and not so wild) accusations of my kind. Without merit these accusations are misguided at best, calumniative at worst.

I'd say the 10 year global cooling trend is a pretty good clue.

Hi Daryl,

Create a property node on your multicolumn listbox and selecet the property called "Top Left Visible Cell", and set it to [0;0].

Hope this helps

Thanks Antoine, I just figured the same thing out

How can I get the scroll bar in a multicolumn listbox to return all the way to the top when I reinitialize the listbox?

US president Barack Obama has warned teenagers of the dangers of putting too much personal information on Facebook and other social networking websites, saying it could come back to haunt them in later life.

"Well, let me give you some very practical tips. First of all, I want everybody here to be careful about what you post on Facebook, because in the YouTube age, whatever you do, it will be pulled up again later somewhere in your life," Obama said.

What do you think about it?

I went to facebook one time because a friend e-mailed me a link. All I saw was a bunch of random nonesense and saw no reason to ever go back.

To which my computer replies:

NMCI GNOC Restricted Site Access to this site has been denied in accordance with Navy policy to safeguard the security posture and/or to maintain the operational integrity of the NMCI.

Sigh...

After responding to the poster who wanted to make an executable without the RTE, I had to create an installation for an offsite customer to use. My little 760KB exe turned into a 62MB whopper (zipped, even), which was then too big to email over my !@#$% (sorry) network.

Argh.

Just out of curiosity, what kinds of filters have you found to be effective for this? I've had this problem before and never really came up with a satisfactory solution.

I'll have to check if I have any left and get back to you. Its been a while since I have had to deal with this so I cant remember off the top of my head. All I remember is I used something in a 8 pin DIP configuration that seemed to work well.

NoNoNo!

I am thinking about like Ken in Street fighter. He puts his energy into a ball and release it out. Can we put charges into air, and control how it float to make a person shock in theory.

Is the dude in the next cubicle being to loud for you or something?

It's a common issue, and it's not just limited to USB drives - sometimes if you edit a VI, save it, and get LabVIEW back to the "Getting Started" window, then try to delete the folder that the VI is in Windows won't let you - the workaround is to fully close LabVIEW.

This has been my experience as well.

I know there are channel A, B (maybe also Z) in a regular optical encoder. I just have a encoder card which say it is for Phase A+, A- , B+, B-. I guess Phase A = Channel A, but what is the + and - mean???

In addition to all the great responses so far, if you are using an optical encoder in a high vibration environment, you may need to put a filter on it if you get some bleed through on channels A and B.

I wish to automatically back up to an external hard drive and, in particular, back up *.vi files. Prior to purchasing a drive, in questioning a major manufacturer on the capability of their drive for different file extensions, the answer received was (quote):

“Unfortunately, [ *.vi] that is file protected by copyright; the same laws that protect its contents, forbids us from using it. You could try to backup it, but it is not guaranteed to work without issues.”

Has anyone any comments, or alternatively, suggestions of a currently available external hard drive that is OK for Labview files?

Regards, GraemeJ

I back up my vi's on external hard drives, usb drives all the time without problem. I do not see why you should have an issue.

Happy Veterans Day. Thanks for your service.

Hear Hear!!

Thank you vets!

Unfortunately its one I wrote for work (copyrights an' all that). But its not hard and you could probably knock up a straight forward one without bells and whistles (i.e compare vis in the project list with those in the directories) in about 1/2 an hour. Mine is quite slow, since it does a lot of checking (compares like the aforesaid and also loads up all vis and checks callers, callees, filepaths and compares duplicates etc) and gives me lists of vis on-disk but not in the project, in the project but in the wrong location, blah, blah. Oh. And I can choose to delete them

Sounds like a business op. People send you their ugly projects, you clean 'em up and send them back for a small fee (or case of beer)

very good, thanks.

I use FogBugz which I really like (it's free for up to 2 users), and Eventum (MySQL-Bug Tracking tool).

Mikael, Is Eventum free? Is there unlimited users?
