Hello, I have a question/comment about icons. NI's Icon Art glossary is a cool concept but I would like a greater selection of icons. Does anyone know of an icon glossary similar to NI's but with more selection? http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/library/ic...rt_glossary.htm Thanks Dan

Hello, It would help if you posted your code so it could be reviewed. If you want to see more than 1 element in an array you can expand the array. Mover your cursor to the edge of the array. Blue dots should outline it. Then Click and drag in either the horizontal or vertical direction. I have attached a .vi that illustrates this. Does that answer your question? Dan

Hello, This is another way of access to the keyboard using the event structure. Unfortantly your VI needs to be in focus, but I thought it might be of interest. You basicly use the Key down event and wire the input terminal of a case statement to the "char" termainal. The "char" terminal is the ASCII character that was pressed in the Key down event. I used a Type cast to convert the ASCII number to a string. Dan

Hello, I have gotten some feedback on this issue on the NI Developer zone and wanted to post it here in case anyone is interested. It looks like J1850 is not supported by the NI CAN cards. http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?boar...0&jump=true

Hello Martin, I amplfied the signal that you used the filter on by a factor of 10 and got the Peak detector to work. You would have to multiply by .10 to get the data back to the format you need. My theory is since the data values you are using are very small the peak algorithim doesn't like it. Does anyone else have a better solution or can explain why this occurs. Interesting problem. Dan

Hello, This is how I save and retreive Cluster values from files. What is great about this method is I can add or delete values from my clusters and it doesn't mess up the files.

Hello, Does anyone know if the NI CAN cards support the J1850 Protocal? Is there some white paper or data sheet that tells me what protocals the NI CAN cards can and can't support? Is this a stupid question? Thanks Dan

This is an interesting artcle from Duke University about engineering in China and India

Hello, I had a question at a LabVIEW user group meeting about where to go to buy sensors. I think the person was looking for the "Walmart" of sensors. I refered him to Omega and Automated Direct. Where do folks go first when they are looking for sensors to fit there applicaiton? Also what is a good resource that describes different sensor technologies and companies that supplies them? I am looking for good books and websites. Thanks!! Dan

Hello, You can use the LabVIEW report generation tool to read from excel. This is an add on toolkit from NI. I have used it and it works well. NI has done all the active X calls for you. There is also a free set of vi's that can manipulate excel. I think this is the link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2974. The report generation toolkit is better. You get what you pay for. Finally if your file is saved in a simple format say tab delimited or comma delimeted you can just bring that into LabVIEW using the Text file I/O. Hope this helps Dan
