Thanks jcarmody, while was writing a piss poor explanation you posted that very elegant explanation. You said exactly what I was trying to say but 10* better.

QUOTE (zmarcoz @ Jan 16 2009, 06:52 AM) The first loop will execute a number of times and build an array (auto indexing tunnels). When this loop exists this array is then read via the second loop and will very quickly display all the values in the array +1 in the indicator.

Do us a quick favor and do up a quick vi and post a picture of it here to clearly explain the architecture you are asking about.

Call your local sales rep, they are always more than willing to try help out. I very much doubt there will be many people on this forum willing to upload the software for you though.

Its like you are frequenting the same forums as me There has been a lot of homework questions lately though, I do agree. Perhaps new members should have to pass a "test", Ie can't create new topics until they post 10 reply's, have their posts moderated etc.. What do other members think? I do realise that some possible controls will create an extra load on the forum moderators/admins and as such may not be practical, but I will put my hand up to help out with some of the more shitty jobs the admins have to deal with, in order to lighten their load.

In the future do NOT double post. The best place to start looking for examples is Help > Find Examples (in LabVIEW)

For the column type in the SQL DB, I would recemond a "Float" data type. See: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/...#DATATYPE-FLOAT From your original post it sounds like your currently saving the data as an array of strings, is this correct? If it is that's why its taking so long, and you can probably just get away with converting the numbers to a double before saving them and that will fix your speed an size problems. MikaelH has posted an excellent example that should get you out of trouble, but it might be worthwhile considering saving the data to TDMS files. Also how do you plan to read/analyse the data? As this will have a bearing on how you should save it to disk.

I for one, welcome our new moderator overlords.

You don't use the code directly. You can either rewrite it so it can be used in a formula node (c like code) or implement the code using the standard LV numeric functions. Shown in the attached picture is the algorithm implemented in standard LV numeric functions. I have also added some windup (Integral) and output limits. On a technical note; that there are several different PID algorithms that all behave differently, I.e. not all PID's are alike. The one shown is just one (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controlle...ndard_PID_form) Also a big thanks to Ton, how cool is his code capture tool, well done mate.

One possible way might be to convert the timestamp strings back into a LV timestamp then subtract them? But I am sure others will come up with better ways of doing it. On a side note; for a first project, well done.

Your link is broke, it should point here: http://www.zaber.com/products/product_group.php?group=T-LS . What have you done so far? What have you been able to do? What are you having trouble with? What do you want us to do? (and don't say all of it) Post the code you have completed with a better description of the problem you are having, and we will try to give you some pointers.

You are going to need to give us a LOT more information! What is the platform? Are you using a SEA cRIO Gxxx card? if not what is the modem? How confident are you with LabVIEW? Have you looked at the documentation that came with the modem?

Hi Raja, A couple of hints to get you started: A: Is a subVI of some description B: Is a cluster that has several Boolean constants in it C: Is a property node Have you used LabVIEW before? Have you been through some examples in "example finder"?, as thats probably one of the best places to start.

Lal it really doesn't seem like your trying, but attached is a VI which should get you started.

I always say, "You can never meet enough wack jobs". \begin{edit} jcarmody I think you have the "gift", read one of god's posts then read yours, spooky!!!! And I just noticed that Ive now got two icons under my name, but the SNR aint so good. \end{edit}

Just a quick question god: Do you use LabVIEW? It would be pretty cool if you do, that way I can say to my mates "God uses LabVIEW"! That will shut those C++, Pearl, PHP and VB Nazi's up. (Please see: http://forums.lavag.org/A-guide-on-how-to-...280#entry54280)

For those of you not a geeky as me and don't check slashdot at least one every five minutes: http://tech.slashdot.org/tech/08/11/23/068234.shtml Its a toolkit for some of NVIDIA's GPU's that allows offloading to the GPU. There is next to no information on the site about using LabVIEW but I believe it is possible, see the following thread: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=65111&st=0 I would give it a go, but lets face it I am lazy and all my computers have onboard Intel display chipsets.

Wow Neville, thanks for that mate. I had never come across that before! (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/4538). The 8175 is not listed as a supported controller, but hey, its worth a shot. Thanks mate.

DAM MEXICANS Just don't know whats good for them. \begin{edit} Sorry also forgot to mention the DAM WA'ANS \end{edit}

The link URL above is a bit dodgy. But now on to the video: YOU ARE TAKING ALL THE FUN OUT OF INTERWEB FORUMS, AND YOU LOOK LIKE HITLER.

Comeon you lot, man up and drink some real beer. XXXX Bitter, none of that Tooheys crap. Mind you last time I was in Sydney I could't find any "real" beer, so had to force my self to drink Scotch instead (it was such a hard task ).
