I tried programming CVI on one of those and it crashed to the floor

Was that an inadvertent Google find?

It came down the pipe yesterday as an update, of course I did the custom update option and removed it from the download list (for now). I'm sure there will be many IE7 specific 'patches' that will follow shortly.

A kiloCrelf!

Keep up the good work, you are quite the contributor.

Also posted on NI forums, some progress made:

B&B electronics offers a product from AutoTap- a serial/USB interface converter for OBD II interfaces. Very slick.

Should I take the red wire or the blue wire?

Are you using the correct termination character upon read to correctly parse the data? The instrument manual should define what character(s) are required. Usually \r\n

From NI DEV ZONE:

National Instruments will provide 64-bit hardware drivers after Vista is available in 2007.

See last line in section 3:

Judging from MS's track record on releasing mainstream OS's, we can expect 64 bit drivers in 200n (insert integer of choice, 7<=n<=9)

Here's a list of expected drivers from NI:

I agree, but is Lookout still available and supported by NI?

Yes, I too thought it was or was on it's way out. Upon checking, it's still in the printed catalog and looks like it is at v6.x. The discussion board on NI for Lookout still looks pretty active.

It doesn't stand for State of California Auto Dismantlers Association?

Bang, bang!

Ahhh, another acronymfinder.com afficionado?

SCADA = Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. So LabVIEW can provide the supervisory control portion in conjuction with a DAQ card or communications port can comprise the data acquisition portion.

Unless you meant South Carolina Automotive Dealers Association, all I can suggest is the 'auto' wiring tool

Date and version. We do it too.

Same thing down here. I'm running out of room on the shelf! Have thought about getting binders with CD sleeves in them as an alternative with all the paper documentation in a separate pocket.

Could you take 6 digital photos of the holder, one for each of the positions. Then based on the setting of your sample selection control, dipslay the appropriate picture in one of LabView's native picture controls?

Rob:

Pretty cool! :thumbup:

It would be neat to wire up logic to simulate TTL circuits, flip flops, counters, timers, display decoders, muxes. A good learning tool too.

I would like to be able to store alphanumeric data as records though in a good old fashion random access file!!!

What about the Binary File I/O functions?

Ha, you suckers that upgraded to 8.20, now what will you do while your coffee is brewing in the morning?

More time to hassle the homework hustlers before the coffee is ready

I received very similar package about 30 August.

So this time I got my SSP package ealier in Poland than you.

The disks are made in Ireland, believe it or not. One of the few things I know that are made there. Don't know where they shipped out of though.

And speak of the devil, my 8.20 from SSP came in this morning. Packaged in a nice soft CD caddy

Oddly enough, it contains individual LV8, 8.01, and 8.2 CD's for some reason.

does SSP membership cover the upgrade to 8.2 ? i would have thought it would but i havent seen anything yet...

DAn

Yes it should. I think they started shipping late this month, still have not recieved mine yet.

More "Control" over the autotool. I liked it, and even more so now.

Thanks for the tip!

Not a LabVIEW solution, but rather a company dedicated to eye tracking

The only problem is how to deal with the driver glancing from side to side or any direction away from the detector... You'd get a lot of false alarms. The other problem is blinking. You'd have to sample long enough to avoid those..

JLV

Head mounted detectors could be applied, camera would have a harder time maintaining the field of view too. Low pass filtering/hysteresis should assist in ignoring blinks
