Do you have the Report Generation Toolkit? You already asked this question here.

Don't use a U16 to hold that a number that large (or it'll wrap around as you're seeing).

I've developed software for two ATEs with the JKI State Machine and have found myself with very many states to cover all of my requirements. I wasn't comfortable with this at first so I posted a question on the JKI forum. Anyway, I wrote a tool that builds an array of the states (in the last Case Structure selected - it polls and acts if the only selection is a CS). There's a vertical scroll bar to speed up the process of scrolling through the list and double-clicking on any item will bring the corresponding state to the front. I'm almost satisfied, but there are two things I don't like about it. First, it uses ObjHighlite to bring the case to the front and I don't like having it flash. How else can I do this? Second, the case structure is selected at the end of the process. How can I deselect it? Thanks, Jim Note: don't download/use this file - better stuff is further along this thread. CaseSelector.vi

You can use the Advanced search and specify "Search titles only". This'll miss anything that pertains to queues but isn't titled as such, but it's pretty good.

or, something with "queso" in it; perhaps Aristos con Queso. (Almost) everybody loves cheese!

Search for queue -aristos.

This also works, with the added benefit of opening the VI. My problem was in trying to find a method of the BD instead of the VI. I included the Code Capture of the Traverse For References VI to show how I get an array of all my free labels (thanks Darren).

We're in the middle of planning our 2010 capital budget and I suggested that we purchase Requirements Gateway licenses, but the idea was shot down without mercy. The IT department shot down another idea to use SVN, but at least they had a reason (we use Telelogic Synergy). PS - Unit Test? What's a Unit Test? We don't need no stinkin' Unit Tests! (I misread Mr. Mussa's poll as "NO Unit Test Framework" and voted for that. I've since fixed my answer.) That feels like another purchase request that would be shot down. At least there's an alternative.

It does, thanks.

How can I make a Block Diagram the active window? I'm writing a program that searches a VI for free labels (that indicate test coverage) and I need to get the BD to the front so the Object Highlite is visible. It's working, but I need to manually open the BD and move my interface out of the way.

I'd buy it, in two shakes of a lambs tail.

You can use an Event Structure. If the value changes to 6 set it to 0, if it changes to -1, set it to 5.

This effort is worthy of upgrading to a Premium membership. if only I could figure out how...

Do you have the Database Connectivity Toolkit? If not, there are several ADO toolkits available. http://performancemicrowave.com/sql_LV.html http://jeffreytravis.com/lost/labsql.html http://www.ib-berger.com/index.php?action=adotool_en

QUOTE (Chris90 @ May 21 2009, 03:47 AM) I'm not hip to PIC, but I use Parallax microcontrollers and they have circuits external to the PIC to facilitate the serial communication. Do you need this, and are you confident about your hardware? Otherwise confidence/Jimmy has it right and you're probably closer than you think.

QUOTE (angel_22 @ May 21 2009, 09:51 PM) This reminds me of my Senior year in High School when my Electronics lab partner told me to "hurry up and fix it, I want to get this done."

QUOTE (angel_22 @ May 14 2009, 08:40 PM) The first thing I noticed was that the control you're using to stop the while loops is located OUTSIDE of them. That control will be read once before the loops start and the loops will never stop (without aborting execution). It doesn't look like you're very close to being done. Here's an example that demonstrates using a Notifier to stop parallel loops. You can put your code in these and your VI will stop cleanly. http://lavag.org/old_files/post-7534-1242390158.vi'>Download File:post-7534-1242390158.vi

QUOTE (Gavin Burnell @ May 7 2009, 03:33 PM) That would be HILARIOUS!!! Solving HH questions with obfuscated (or Rube Goldberg) code! I guess we'd have to give them at least one chance to demonstrate a willingness to do the work themselves before posting anything unkind...

QUOTE (neBulus @ May 5 2009, 03:39 PM) The blood isn't the issue; bone fragments make it a bigger job than it would otherwise be (just rinsing in a mild H2O2 solution...)

QUOTE (Diego Reyes @ May 1 2009, 06:52 PM) I think I'd use a dedicated state to update the UI elements based on a cluster of settings passed in the shift register. Route the machine there after updating the cluster in your other states. I got this advice http://forums.jkisoft.com/index.php?showtopic=936' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">here. Jim

QUOTE (crelf) QUOTE (Mark Yedinak) TestStand is not a text based scripting tool. Where are you getting that from? QUOTE What do you mean? There is nothing text based about creating a test in TestStand. No wires! :thumbdown: I was nearly finished writing a very articulate, eloquent response to the responses to my earlier troll post when I fat-fingered my laptop's 'back' button. Anyway, I'm sorry for writing the way I did but I've been working on a project that was started in TestStand and LabVIEW and I'm not enjoying myself. I did another project in TestStand and felt that it was overkill. I know that my opinion has been influenced by my lack of understanding/expertise with the tool, so I have two more things to say. No more foolishness, I promise. First, the learning curve to TestStand is very steep. I expect to spend a lot of time learning to use it effectively, but I expect it to make me more effective (once I get over the hump). Second, I love how easy it is to log test results to a database. I was able to assist a colleague by first installing MySQL and logging there and then again, later, by connecting to the factory SQL Server database with very little effort

QUOTE (mrsteve @ Apr 10 2009, 01:49 PM) I've heard many of the benefits of using TestStand but I still don't like it (the only thing I appreciate about it is that it'll manage User privileges for you). I'm sure that I'll find an application for it that I can't accomplish easily in LabVIEW (like when I need to handle multiple UUTs and share resources among them - that'll happen soon (yeah, right)), but for now I can't get past the feeling that it's just another text-based mess. I mean, who programs in text anymore? Really...

QUOTE (rolfk @ Apr 10 2009, 04:07 AM) You were correct. Thanks. http://lavag.org/old_files/monthly_04_2009/post-7534-1239369040.png' target="_blank">
