Daryl

very good, thanks.

Mikael, Is Eventum free? Is there unlimited users?

Wow, lots of good feedback folks - thanks a lot! I'll be spending some time evaluating each of your suggestions. Thanks again everyone!!!!

For now, i'm trying to find something that can run on a winxp machine. Eventually it will probably be moved to a windows server box but it will not be soon.

Using Excel to track bugs just isn't working for me anymore so I am looking at different options. I have looked at FogBugz but I do not think it is exactly what I am looking for. I took a look at the Bugzilla website but it looks overly complicated to install. What are you all using? What do you like/dislike about the different tools out there? Any input is much appreciated.

The data coming out of your DAQ Assistant VI is an array. When you branch that wire to 3 different indicators, you just make 3 copies of the same data. You could either delete 2 of the array indicators and expand the front panel indicator of the 3rd to display all 3 data points. Or you could use an index array or something to separate the 3 data points if you wanted to display them individually. Also, you do not need the sequence structure wrapped around the indicator.

Doh!!

cool, i'm gonna check it out

Awesome, thank you!

Ok, so I am cleaning up some code in a fairly large project and I was wondering if there is a way to find unused elements in a project file? I have consolidated a bunch of data from FG's and Labview Globals into clusters and shift registers and was wondering if there was a quick easy way to find/delete the stuff that isn't being used anymore?

Is it linear? y=mx+b ???

Call your local NI Rep and tell him to take care of it for you.

Please search Labview examples for "State Machine Test Sequencer.vi" and try to get your code organized into a similar structure. Try to seperate your code into the different functions, and put each "function" into it's own "state" of the case structure. We can help you if you have any questions but first you have to get that code organized into separate "functions"

Did anyone get a good view of the Orionid meteor shower last night? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,568712,00.html It was too cloudy/raining here so I didn't get to see anything I however did see 2 awesome shooting stars Monday night and hopefully will get to see a few stragglers tonight.

With Lights!!

You were looking over my shoulder?

Ok. I think you have no choice left except the nuclear option. Next time Mr. D's wife comes in, smear a little lipstick on Mr. D's lab coat collar and tell Mr. D's wife he is cheating on her. Hopefully she will take care of your problem if you know what i mean

Ok I have another idea for you. You need to invite Mr D and your boss out for a drink after work. Go to the bar and keep feeding Mr D shots but try not to get too drunk yourself. Once he gets good and drunk, start talking about politics and/or religion. See which topic gets him all worked up and calmly keep bringing it up, picking at him till he gets so mad he makes a fool of himself in front of the boss. Call Mr D's wife to come pick him up from the bar - tell her he is all drunk and making a scene and she needs to come get him. Tell your boss you cant work with this guy.

I think he said: "a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare."

Ok. The next time you have to deal with Mr. D, Mr. D's wife, or your boss, ask yourself "what would Chuck Norris do or say?". Then do, or say that.

You blew it, you are now Mr. D's slave

The only thing I use Matlab (Simulink) for instead of Labview is if I need to generate C code for something. And that is only because I dont have the embedded toolkit for Labview.

Tell him that you are busy and he should go fix you a sandwich.

I did that once. Now I am doing ALMOST EVERYONE's jobs:frusty:

Awesome, I will have to try this one out later!!! No, I didnt know about the Tetris one, i'll have to go find it
