Never knew that OpenG had that function. I did find what appears to be the same functionality in the vi.lib. <LabVIEW DIR>\vi.lib\Utility\GetType.llb\Get Type of Variant.vi Found that when digging around the TDMS viewer. Using some more code from the viewer you can convert many data types to string.

I realize this is a month old but I wasn't able to check Lava consistently recently. Yeah so my LabVIEW Tray Launcher is different from this application in a couple ways. In my application there is a registry tweak that makes it so that LabVIEW does not get ran when a .VI file is double clicked, but instead my program runs then launches LabVIEW based on what the user selects. This can be a good thing or an unwanted thing based on how you use LabVIEW. Often I will download a VI from the web and I just want to open it quickly. So I'll choose the Open option in my web browser instead of download. It will download it to a temp directory then open it with my launcher then choose the right version of LabVIEW. This is an interesting case because I don't know the exact location of the saved VI (I could find out easily) and I don't know the version of LabVIEW it was written for. In this case the Shell Launcher wouldn't help because the VI would be opened with the default version of LabVIEW since you would need to right click the VI and choose the option to launch it. On the other hand some people probably don't want my program taking over the .VI file extension and may want to right click the VI and choose the right one. My program could be changed to be a right click menu option, and I'm sure that this program could be changed to be ran when double clicking a VI and not just right click. My program does offer a few other features that might be useful but I'll try not to turn this into a post about my program.

I agree, when a set of requirements aren't set in stone, then there isn't a good way to know when to end the project. In that kind of a situation, working by the hour is the only way to go.

"WE'RE GOING STREAKING" (caps is appropriate he was yelling) NSFW?

Hit the clean up button, I dare you.

Is there a reason you haven't tried the tabbed approach? Where tab 1 has just one graph, tab 2 has two graphs, tab 3 has three, up to the number you want. Then color the tab to be transparent (so the user doesn't know it is a tab) and then control which tab the operator sees. That being said I've never had the "Scale FP objects" work properly for very long. Usually I could resize once and it would be okay, then I would scale it back to where it was and every thing would be moved around slightly, and alignments between objects would fail. Maybe grouping them would have helped.

Then you will have to find a way to not make an average on those values, or insert those values back into the smoothed data. Again realize this will make a time shift in your data. Good luck.

I've noticed the about says both 9.0 and 2009, and the Windows registry also has it as 9.0.

I already stated clearly (at least I think it is clear) what you need to do. I've said it twice here is a third time. So again try to do a mean on points 0-4, then a mean on points 1-6, then a mean on points 2-7 FOR the whole set of data.

You have a period as the delimiter for the text file. The delimiter in the file is not a period, either change the file, or change the parameter you are delimiting on. Did you just quote your self 3 times? Well if you quoted your self I'll quote my self because I already answered the question but maybe you didn't understand. Perform the mean on the first X number of points, then do a mean starting at index 1 (instead of 0) for another X number of points. Do this FOR the whole list of data.

Couple things. First the file you provided as your data (Book1.xls) is in a file format that LabVIEW can't read from the "Read from Spreadsheet file" function. That function works with a ASCII file, generally a .TXT. If you do get to the point to where your data is read, then I would suggest looking into the Mean function under the Probability and Statistics pallet (found under Mathematics). You can then calculate the mean of a small set of values, and the process another small set until you processed all of them.

I think want Francois wanted to see was what LabVIEW code you had made to try to accomplish your goal. We're all about helping at LAVA but we're not about spoon feeding. Show us some code trying to accomplish your goal and we'll point you in the right direction. If you don't have any code then you should look up some NI examples, or go through some LabVIEW training.

I've seen this done on other forums. Where when you type in a search it just redirects to a site: search on google with those terms.

Attached is a zip, in that zip is two VIs A and B. A calls B, and B gets the path of A using a reference to the VI and using a property node. A Calls B Path.zip

Very cool, I didn't watch all of it yet. And as a side note since when does youtube have 1080P videos? This video is still only 100MB if you were wondering. EDIT: Also how many takes do you think it took to get right? and at 2:40 how many TVs did they destroy?

According to my registry the installed versions of LabVIEW are 6.0, 6.1, 7.1, 8.0, 8.2, 8.5, 8.6, and 2009, no betas.

Do you realize that zipping and unzipping has been built into Windows explorer since Windows ME? Not that I'm praising Windows Explorer as being the explorer to use. I know that there are many free, and portable alternatives to windows explorer, but I've never tried any. I do however like some of the new things that Windows 7 does. Nothing revolutionary, I just think it's a good balance of new features and simplicity.

Being the LabVIEW enthusiasts as we are, we usually have many versions installed and can down save. I have 8 at the moment, do I hear 9?

Hooovahh: LAVA/NI EDIT: Also I don't know how I feel about coming out of the closet...on LAVA that is.

Jamaican Bobsled Team? Okay fine so I only remember that because of the movie with John Candy in it.

Related? (apple flea). Also the Apple wheel has to be better than Sony's "New Stupid Piece of *** That Doesn't ***ing Work" By the way I censored that link myself, have we tested the profanity filter yet? And if I posted a link that has a bad word in it would the link become broken?

"SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?" (sorry for all caps but I think it was appropriate).

Okay this may just turn into a bacon thread (it is in the LAVA Lounge right?) Ever been to Tony's in Birch Run. You order a side of and it comes with a pound of it. Poor quality but it looks huge. And here's a man enjoying his banana split. http://www.mlive.com...t_in_birch.html Anyone else hungry? I mean if you don't have power then you need to eat what's in the fridge right? Can't let it go bad.

I've never used a fixed width or monospaced font, other than in Notepad where it is Lucida Console 10 point by default. Why would I need a fixed point font? In LabVIEW you can calculate the width of a string based on its font and style, it's been discussed here a couple times.
