Speaking of Labview for Everyone, we all know who Jim Kring is, but who is Jeffery Travis ...?

I've been asking myself that same question for many years.

It's true I live in Hollywood now, but I still use LabVIEW for consulting and for myself. In fact I wrote some VIs to automate a post-production of footage on a film.

Perhaps the mystery of the circles on the book cover can be explained by decoding the binary stream below them...

Hi,

I have a DLL that returns data as a StringBuilder object. In VB, we can easily get the string value from this by calling the ToString() funtion on it.

However, I need to read this DLL from LabVIEW and can't seem to find a simple way to get the string value out of it. Has anyone done this before?

I just bought a MacBook Pro with Intel processors.

LabVIEW 7.1 seems to run fine, but I haven't done any speed-critical tests.

LabVIEW 8 on the other hand, crashes as soon as it starts up. I hope NI releases support for MacOS X on Intel soon.

I haven't tried this but if it does work then of course only with Rosetta. Still there are a myriad of things that might go wrong. Forget probably about any DAQ or other hardware IO other than standard OS channels such as File IO, and hopefully TCP/IP and serial.

Maybe I try to find one of those inofficial MacOSX86 development installations and see if it would run on my Sony notebook.

What about "Implicit Global"

Seems to be more precise a term... after all, the globals in the palette are "functional" as well (unless you write poor code... :-))

That way, uninitialized shift registers are "implicit" globals, as opposed to "explicit" globals from the structures palette.

My functional globals almost always turn out to be intelligent globals to some degree ;-). In fact they are not really globals anymore but intelligent data storage containers.

But I think Functional Globals pretty much covers all of these aspects.
