  1. I love listening to you guys.

  2. I don't understand a thing you're saying...

  3. ... resiting the urge to download.

  4. Write your own function. Seriously, though, you need to share more information about what you're trying to do.
  5. The more you explain, the more confused I get.
  6. I'm not clear on your intent. I think you'd be better off setting all of the pins and a delay in each row. If you don't want a delay, just set it to zero. ExcelTest2.txt
  7. Why are you initializing an array in your For loop? You want to replace elements; here's a very quick way to accomplish that: Also, you don't need to use (ever) the Stop command; just put all of your logic in the other case.
  8. Adding calls to the "Idle" state is an easy way to allow a long process to run without hanging the UI (and without launching an actor).
  9. Maybe he's smarter than everybody else?

  10. https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-19943 This makes adding passwords easier.
  11. My CaseSelect Quick Drop plugin helps manage the JKI State Machine, and it includes a 'rename' function that'll go through your VI and update every instance of the old name. https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-24058
  12. This uses Array Point to RowCol (from the Code Repository.) This is the next Event case. This takes almost no work, which may make up for it not being exactly what you want...
  13. I wrote a QD plugin that attaches a probe to a wire and launches another VI that'll works in the background. The probe signals the background VI every time it runs, but you could program it to do something continuously. I don't know if you could make it update the probe itself, though. https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-38903
  14. If I made a 3D array, it'd be a rube-iks cube
  15. Even if you don't know the size of the array, you can measure it.
  16. I have a few product families and one test sequence for all of them. Not every step (subsequence) in the main sequence is executed for each family, and steps can have different test limits depending upon family/part number. dTRAK manages all of this for me, I just have to configure all of this in dTRAK (it has a web interface for this). If I had thousands of parts, I'd ask G2 to write a custom program to automate the configuration.
  17. My system begins when an operator scans a barcode containing a part and serial number. The part number tells the system which sequence steps to execute and the limits for each test in those steps. Results are stored and retrievable within the system, too. It sounds like G2's web page doesn't do dTRAK justice.
  18. I have a product line with a few dozen part numbers with common & unique tests based on product family and it sounds similar to your situation, although at a much smaller scale. I use a product from an NI Alliance Partner called dTRAK (http://g2tek.com/dcp/i/products-dtrak). My first thought while reading your post was to ask how much experience you have, then I saw the "CLA" in your signature. It's worth giving them a call, anyway, as they've already done a lot of the heavy lifting. Good luck.
  19. My company is seeking an engineer to replace me and I'd like to help . The job listing is at http://www.utc.com/Careers/Job/Sr-Eng-Test-Reliab-Wilson-North-Carolina/2840BR. The position is located in Wilson, NC. This position is responsible for developing and supporting all of the production test functions for several commercial aviation products including smoke detectors and pressure transducers, most of which communicate using CAN. You'll also: be involved with the Design Engineering group to make sure that they don't build/specify anything horrible inherit a lot of my applications (be kind!) and one larger one that we bought from an NI Alliance partner train/support production personnel on the use of your equipment ... You'll encounter: Access and SQLite databases (but I'll nag you about using SQL Server) the JKI State Machine a somewhat complex test system that uses LabVIEW and TestStand with a web app and a SQL Server database ... I'd be thrilled (but it's not required by the folks doing the hiring) if you: are a regular contributer to the forums are certified in LabVIEW and/or TestStand use a version control system can teach me how to use the Actor Framework I love the job; you may love it, too. PM me on LAVA if you'd like to discuss it further. I'll help you get your information into the right hands. Good luck. cross-posted on http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Job-Openings/Test-Engineer-LabVIEW-TestStand/m-p/3091105
  20. My job satisfaction stems from the fact that most of my responsibilities are AWESOME! The parts of my job that aren't awesome don't drown out the other awesomeness. Also, I have good bosses and coworkers. Also, my company is profitable. Also, flexibility. Forget it. I don't know...
