Numpty Physics is similar, one difference being that it's free (as in pizza).

any help would be much appreciated

Let me take this opportunity to introduce you to the http://jkisoft.com/state-machine/' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">JKI State Machine. It's worth your while to learn.

I've attached something for you to start with. If you like it, take the time to watch the videos on JKI's site, read whatever you can find on the forum and post back here if you have any trouble filling it out for your application. If you don't like it ( ), post your code here and we'll see what we can do to help you.

I saw the Denzel Washington movie Deja Vu this weekend and (except for one unnecessary scene) thought it was the best movie I'd seen in a long time. Did anyone else catch the SNL reference when they were sending the note back in time? "I need more cowbell!" That was great!

What else I should do?

You should take advantage of the option to mark a question for review. I did this when I took the test a few years ago and was pleased with that feature of the testing system. It turned out that I had to mark most of them the first time through because I wasn't confident with my answer. I kept going through the test until I had unmarked all of them, then I submitted my test and found I had passed.

Good luck!

...timing control features which user can selected the time interval

Will this do, of have I missed something? The user can select the time interval and this will control the loop rate.

PS - your VI is missing error handling...

hi i am doing final year diploma in instrumentation and control engineering in india and i have passed in appitiude exam conducted recently for placement in company Apna technologies. I learnt that the company is fully dealing with virtual instrumenatation and lab view design. I am in need more informations to get placed in that company. and i have final interview by tomorrow.

Even though i learnt about that in subjects, i want know thier status in the real world and i am absoultely blank about cost of the lab view software and its features...

thank you

waiting for your informations

NI published a piece yesterday that describes Software-Defined instrumentation; it may give you a better idea of virtual instrumentation. This will give you an idea of what LabVIEW can do, and this will tell you how much it costs.

Good luck with your interview!

Hi Mark, welcome to LAVA. Don't feel at all bad about asking questions; folks around here love to help (just try to search for the answers before asking the forum). You're welcome to think of this as your island in a sea of information.

Kind of like a Gilligan's island...

Now that that's out of the way...

Thanks for the link. He's fantastic! It's wonderful to find an extroverted engineer.

PS - How do you tell an extroverted engineer from an introverted one? The extroverted engineer looks at your shoes when he's talking to you.

Ask any time. Have fun learning LabVIEW; this forum is full of folks that will help.

QUOTE (El Tipo @ Dec 21 2008, 02:00 AM)

thanks for the reply Jim Those were pretty nice pints you metioned, if it is not too much to ask could you please upload the password VI you made in labview version 8.0 or newer so I can take a look at it.

I included a link to an icon editor written by one of the LAVA contributors. It's a really neat way to identify your VIs by using colors, categories and text. A bit like you did, but on steroids.

QUOTE

I was just suggesting that hard-coding the password into your program means that you'd need to build a new executable in order to change the password. That's fine if you're working on your desktop, but some folks need to release software through their Quality department and can't be modifying software every time a password is compromised (like when a user writes it on the monitor...).

QUOTE

I've never used that function and I can't recall ever seeing it used. LabVIEW help says this about it: "Before you call this function with a TRUE input, be sure to complete all final tasks for the VI first, such as closing files, setting safe values for devices being controlled, and so on." I brought this up because you probably don't need it.

Are you familiar with State Machines? They have advantages over the stacked sequence structure; they're worth learning. (I like the , myself.)

I went to the file>VI property of my password subVI and I changed to windows apearence, as well as costomized it. but if i save it, and re-open it again all the costomization i did goes away and i have to re-costomized it.

I don't know about this...

There are many ways to crack a nut. There's probably not a correct way, only a better way.

QUOTE

• My way may not be better, FWIW...
  
• Let me know if I misunderstood what you were going for.
  
• I've never used the Stop function, perhaps someone else could tell us why to use it. I didn't use it in my solution.
  
• You made your subVI a little more complicated than it needs to be. Take a look at the attached VI.
  
• You didn't need any code in the False case of your main VI; it would have closed anyway.
  
• I don't love local variables, but they're easy when you need to do what you did.
  
• I didn't like your subVI icon. There's a better way. :thumbup:
  
• You may have already planned to get the real password from an external source. It's better than hard-coding it.
  
• I'll wait for others to chime in with a BETTER way. LAVA is a good place to be.

If you are on a budget and are disciplined the NI course books are great!

Dan

I agree with Dan; the books are great. I learned LabVIEW by reading those books, reading other people's code, studying the practice exams and asking a lot of questions. LAVA is the right place to come if you want to ask lots of questions while you're going through the books :thumbup: .

I have only one

on YouTube, and it's fits in this category. My smoke wasn't caused by an electrical fire; you can see a burning pine cone on the vacuum's exhaust for a few seconds in the beginning.

Try here first, and if that doesn't help try here.

Glad to help!

How did he know it was the last year of his life?

Not everybody searches the LAVA (or NI) forum before asking a question. Here's a gentle way to demonstrate how easy it is to find an answer to a question that's already been asked.
