Actually it's more something like LabVIEW 5 or 6 . But it could have been BMP only (PICT etc on Mac) back then.

You're absolutely right, I was lumping this in with all the drag and drop additions that came with the Project Explorer in LabVIEW 8 (I actually just searched through the http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371780a.pdf' target="_blank">Upgrade Notes to be sure ).

thanks!

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?

I'm sure you've seen this but open up LabVIEW and your MyPictures folder and drag and drop an image from MyPictures into the VI icon in the upper right. I believe this ability began with LabVIEW 8 (don't quote me on that though! )

With that kind of ability and google you can set any image out there as your icon.

But still, you have a legitimate question as to having another collection of LabVIEW-like icons. It may exist but I really haven't searched so I'm not sure....

I am trying to bind single process shared varibales to a front panel object, can anyone tell me if this is possible and if so how? When i look in the data binding section of the properties i can only see network published variables.

Hi,

I don't know if you've already found the answer but the shared variable does need to be network published in order to be bound to a front panel object. Check out this line from the LabVIEW Help on the Numeric Properties Dialog Box:

"Shared Variable Engine (NI-PSP)—Windows Binds the object to a network-published project item or to a PSP data item on the network using the Shared Variable Engine."

You can also use Datasocket to do essentially the same thing.

Hope this helps!

And, whatever you do, stay away from http://forums.lavag.org/The%205th%20dimension-t4895.html' target="_blank">the 5th dimension!

:laugh: Wow, that was an enlightening 25 minutes reading all those posts. Hilarious.

And reading Colin's other replies, I can tell I'll need to watch my step here.....

Cheers!

I was thinking the same thing... this intro sounds vaguely familiar.

Yea I took at a look at his initial post, we NI people must practice our introductions together :gathering:

Yup, Colin moved back to Colorado to be with family. As far as known, LAVA was not a factor

Thanks for the welcome, I'll definitely be around!

Hello everyone,

I'd just like to introduce myself since I joined LAVA today. I have worked for National Instruments for three years. I currently manage portions of Developer Zone and NI's Beta Community on NI.com. I was formerly an Applications Engineer specializing in PXI and Modular Instruments. I also worked for a time in our Singapore branch.

I'm very interested in how people are using LV in different industries and I hope to be able to give value to the community.

Additionally, if you have any feedback on NI's Developer Zone or the Beta Community then please let me know!

Have a great day!

Brian
