I've been manually installing it myself. I copy the liblvzlib.so to the controller, then I SSH in with Putty, and sudo copy to /usr/local/lib/liblvzlib.so, then restart the controller. I was happy using the old CDF format custom install for as long as I could.

Very neat looking. I like the concept. I do think people might not like the unprotected nature of being able to read and write to tags from anywhere. Imagine I have a sensor that keeps flipping back to NaN. I suspect trouble shooting where the tag is getting written from, or debugging this type of wireless program can be a challenge. If tools are made for tracking this type of thing it might make it easier. This also would make something like dynamic UIs easier. You can have a set of controls that can be inserted into subpanels, and then to read/write data you just need the controls named something specific. Oh that gets me thinking, can the tag be based on the Caption of the control not the label? That way it can change at runtime. Also I think the video should have been a youtube link. Watching such a long gif is a weird experience without pause, or playback controls.

I am also rocking version 4.2.0b1-1 for the same reasons.

As mentioned in the crosspost, NI has a special license for allowing XNode creation through the Project Explorer. To get around this I developed the XNode Editor.

Here is the Community Edition announcement. https://www.jki.net/blog/news/vipm-2020-community-edition

This feature is the VI Package Configuration (VIPC) and is free and included in the community version of VIPM. The VIPC can contain a list of packages to install, or it can contain the list, along with the actual packages. This is quite handy since you can have a single VIPC file that you double click, and all those packages and their dependencies are installed offline (NIPM should take notes).

I sent Michael a message.

I posted a demo set of VIs here which can pop up a window, centered on whatever monitor the mouse is on. There's also settings to have the window center on the mouse wherever it is, but saying on the same monitor. And yes this uses the All Screens, Working Area properties.

It was equally as bad as Gemini in my work with Task Scheduler. It is far too much to paste in here but I created a Task with the command line, and provided it then said: This all works but I'd like to turn off the feature Stop the task if it runs longer than 3 days, and turn off the Start the task only if computer is on AC Power. What command line switches do I need for this? Gemini made up switches, and I had to keep pasting back the error I got over and over with Google eventually telling me it isn't possible. I just hit the limit on free Grok messages and it had similar behavior. I'd run the command it gave with a paragraph explaining how it should work. I'd reply back with the error. It would tell me why the error existed and what command to use. That would generate a new error which I would tell it, and it would do the same. Over and over until I can't chat with it anymore. I use AI primarily for writing assistance, but coding or technical assistance on the surface looks great. But in practice is lacking.

I am unaware of a time limit on editing your own posts. You are welcome to use the report to moderator to make fixes. I realize small things are just easier to ignore than making a report.

The newest version of LabVIEW I have installed is 2022 Q3. I had 2024, but my main project was a huge slow down in development so I rolled back. I think I have some circular library dependencies, that need to get resolved. But still same code, way slower. In 2022 Q3 I opened the example here and it locked up LabVIEW for about 60 seconds. But once opened creating a constant was also on the order of 1 or 2 seconds. QuickDrop on create controls on a node (CTRL+D) takes about 8 seconds, undo from this operation takes about 6. Basically any drop, wire, or delete operation is 1 to 2 seconds. Very painful. If you gave this to NI they'd likely say you should refactor the VI so it has smaller chunks instead of one big VI. But the point is I've seen this type of behavior to a lesser extent on lots of code.

It has gotten worst in later versions of LabVIEW. I certainly think the code influences this laggy, unresponsiveness, but the same code seems to be worst the later I go.

In the past I have used the IMAQ drivers for getting the image, which on its own does not require any additional runtime license. It is one of those lesser known secrets that acquiring and saving the image is free, but any of the useful tools have a development, and deployment license associated with it. I've also had mild success with leveraging VLC. Here is the library I used in the past, and here is another one I haven't used but looks promising. With these you can have a live stream of a camera as long as VLC can talk to it, and then pretty easily save snapshots. EDIT: The NI software for getting images through IMAQ for free is called "NI Vision Common Resources". This LAVA thread is where I first learned about it.

If you are in a Windows environment, and have many files to process, this is probably going to be faster. There probably are several factors in determining when doing this in .NET is the better solution.

That's how I'd do it. Then combine that with the Foreign Key Sort from my Array package, putting the Time Stamps into the Keys, then paths into the Arrays, and it will sort the paths from oldest to newest. Reverse the array and index at 0, or use Delete From Array to get the last element, which would be the newest file.
