Personally, I don't mind the logo, or the colour scheme. I prefer the old colours and logo, but no one likes change do they

What I resented a little bit is that the webcast has been promoted for about a month, promising 'something extraordinary'

In my opinion what was delivered wasn't extraordinary, it was 50 minutes of my life that I won't get back. It offered no value to NI's customers, brought no knew knowledge to the table and just felt like was repeatedly been hit in the face with a PR and marketing hammer.

There isn't a problem promoting the amazing things people do with LabVIEW, but it doesn't need such a song and dance. I would have preferred to have seen an open discussion about this 100 year plan that NI mentioned, what areas they are going to focus on in the coming years, how they are planning the transition between current gen and NXG LV.

A lot of our careers are pretty heavily tied to NI, we aren't impressed by marketing hot air, we just want to be efficiently kept in the loop regarding what NI is doing and how it is going to affect our companies. (I say 'we', that's my opinion, but I would be surprised if I was the only one who thought this)

I completely agree.

New CEO, new start, new world, new logo, new slogan. Good, that's the life of a large company trying too keep up with evolution. Hope it works.

Something "extraordinary"... either I need to get a new dictionary or they do.

omg... hp calcs, i hated them! I was more of a TI-8x guy

my first coding experience was on a TI-80 in 1997 😱

I'm parenting today, so wait a bit for screenshot, but let's say you have 2 1d arrays of string and you want to compute the intersection or the diff, how do you do?
Also open the vim "remove duplicate from 1d array" in the array palette, it uses sets.

I am a bit late to the Map party. I love them though, thanks NI. 🤩

For those that have not tried them, take a quick look. I have only used the Map a few times (so cannot comment on Sets) but the API is nice and simple. Goodbye Variant Attributes 🙂

ditto.

Jump into sets, they're great as well and they can be combined with maps!

I rarely use 1D arrays anymore!

Neil, can you explain what made you leave Bitbucket for GitHub?

I very much agree with the need for scripting.

It seems some folks at NI think that it's enough if we can use c# to script... almost funny...

19 of may that is, it would be great!

Note: I worked in LV 2020, and I just picked 2014 as the version to save back to... it'll go back earlier if someone needs it, but, honestly, folks, I only get paid if you upgrade!

which begs for the question : will LV 2020 be released in august 2020 xor at next NIWeek?

And as for NXG, it's supposed to be better but not perfect... not sure what that means.

i love your member name 😂

There is a dedicated NI GDS section on NI's forum, maybe it would be a better place to ask for support : https://forums.ni.com/t5/GDS-Goop-Development-Suite/gp-p/5050

Ok, thanks for details.

I will have between 1 and 5 clones of a dqmh module that send strings to different database via tcp or http, the strings can be large thus why I compress, but each module will only send a string every 1 to 10 seconds so, you're right, I probably wouldn't see much/any difference.

Hi,

Am I going to have problems if I change the re-entrancy settings of the VIs in GZip 4.2.0b1-1 from non-rentrant to pre-allocated clones?

I mainly use ZLIB Deflate.vi and ZLIB CRC32.vi

I use them both on Windows and NI Linux RT.

Has LAVA search ever worked?

Maybe before the big crash, but after that, definitely not.

I always use google to search on LAVA with

site:lavag.org dll

WOW, thx for sharing this, it looks great!

Is there any OS restrictions?

I'm thinking about NI Linux RT.

pre-2010 I used one on a project (it was a firewire camera at the time), it was to check the temperature of a incandescent object. nothing too fancy.

Which camera model are we talking about?

I believe the recent ones are GigE & GenICam compliant so the set attribute vi from IMAQdx with the correct attribute name (to be found in the camera user manual) should do the job.

There's some ROT13 password "encryption", if you look hard enough.

So I have been trying to think of a way to attempt to allocate a very large string with a graceful way to fail if there is not enough memory.   Has anyone else found a way to do this?

I have not.

Last I faced a similar case a few years ago (on a 32-bit Windows), after some discussion with the users we agreed to check the file size before loading it and if it was larger than 400Mb the soft would reject the load request with a nice message telling the user to use another soft that would split the large file in several 400Mb files.

Do you really need/want to support 32 bit? I mean... if it's for vision, you probably use a large size of memory, no?

I wish I could offer my collaboration but calling external code is not really my cup of tea, so I'd probably be mostly useless anyway.

If you are interested in getting in touch with tensorflow users to have their feedback, get in touch with me via PM.

My advice is to "look into CXP", I never got round to trying the bitflow HW + driver which they claim is fully compatible with LabVIEW, CXP seems to be the future of industrial high res / high speed vision. So if you're looking to build a vision system for the next 10 years, I think you should test out bitflow's CXP option.

I'm a bit disappointed with NI's "wait n see" approach with CXP, last I asked the answer was "we don't think the ROI is big enough". Which is a fair point but leaves NI Vision with very limited options.

CXP open a lot of options in term of cameras.

Good luck to you, and - again - if you do test bitflow cxp framegrabber in LabVIEW i'd love to hear how it works.

I've never tried that, do you have a link to the thunderbolt extention specs?

I'd be curious to know if it works well.

I think camera-link is not the best option for new product design, my first advice would be to look into CoaXPress.

Plus NI-PCIe 1430 and 1433 almost went EOL about 18 month ago.

Some of these restrictions were dictated by the fact that I needed to support pre LabVIEW 2009 versions

Pre-2009 Wow... how for back do you go? The mythical 7.1?

The lvzip.so file on normal Linux should generally remain in the root folder of the lvzip package for source code distributions. That should make sure that the application builder will include the shared library into the application build in a support folder (usually called data) on all platforms where that matters. Doesn't that work for you? I don't really have experience with application builds on Linux. I only use that platform for testing in the LabVIEW IDE and only really have two LabVIEW versions available for that.

I knew it would be the case on Windows and I was/am not sure about Linux because I have not compiled an application on Linux yet, it will be my first so I'll be careful with this.

Thanks again for you support.
