So far Microsoft has kept Arial in all the OS versions and this is the reason I have decided to use this as my standard font for all functions. I even make these my defaults in the labview.ini file for the IDE.

Since Win2K I have been adding following to application ini files to "fix" my fonts. These match what I have set development environment to use for fonts. MyApplication.ini [MyApplication] FPFont="Arial 14" appFont="Arial 14" dialogFont="Arial 14" systemFont="Arial 14" BDFont="Arial 14" Default Windows System Font. NT4 - MS Sans Serif 2K/XP - Tahoma Vista/7 - Segoe UI

Are you using PBMS to simulate Profibus Network? Need to make sure check simulate box in configuration tool for each slave. Also need to set slot number when configuring Analog modules. Been using (via OPC) to simulate slaves for my PFB master cards and LabVIEW. Have developed DLL wrapper VI's (will locate and ZIP) for "GetRXData" from PFB cards which would be similar for "Set" and PBMS card. Easiest thou is via OPC. Also, card name needs to match (CASE SENSITIVE) what is in device manager. i.e. "Card" does not equal "CARD"

Have used the SST series Profibus cards to make "soft" PLC with LabVIEW for 10+ years. Had to make DLL wrappers but works well. If card software comes with DLL and .h files can have LabVIEW generate DLL wrapper VI's. Also have used OPC via Profibus ethernet CP to communitcate with PLC's.

Microsoft releases new Windows Updates (unless serious security risk) Second Tuesday of the month. Also a reason to save work before leaving at the end of the day. Worked out with our IT staff to have a seperate GP for our development and production machines to notify that updates are available so we can ensure systems are in a safe condition when updates are applied. Just remember other programs can do the same, seen with many AV products as well as with most other apps that default to check for updates.

NT4 MS Sans Serif 2000/XP Tahoma Vista Segoe UI I have been using the BDFont=, appFont=, etc... in all ini files since Win2K release since still supporting apps on NT4 and all new apps have alignment issues when installed on NT4.

Check out Symmetricom. They have LabVIEW drivers for a few of their IRIG-B cards. http://www.symmetricom.com/products/gps-so...ware-downloads/ QUOTE (spsuamin @ Jan 12 2009, 12:47 PM)
