This is off the top of my head as I don't have LV in front of me, but I think your URL might need to be set to ni.var.io:// instead of ni.var.psp:// when configuring outputs. -Toby

This is my first post in months...but I haven't forgotten you LAVA. I still lurk frequently when I need information - just don't have much time to post. I have been working at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) now for just over a year as a vendor/contractor through Northwest Contract Services (NWCS). It has been the best career move I've made and I wanted to share the opportunity with others in the area that might be looking for a change. NWCS is currently seeking qualified candidates to fill the following positions: - LabVIEW developer and Hardware Test Engineer - preferably with some supervisory/team lead experience - Hardware Test Engineers - EE with test development and design verification experience - Manufacturing Test Engineers - EE or ME with test fixture design, test software and test equipment experience If this has peaked anyone's interest, please PM me and I'll make sure your resume gets to the right place. I know there are a lot of talented individuals here that could be a great fit (Full Disclosure: I'm not a recruiter, but I might get a little kickback for referring someone who does good work ) -Toby

I guess so...they let me in

This sounds intriguing. I can't wait to check it out...now if only the cool kids will let me into the group.

I didn't see any change in the LV environment when I changed the scroll speed in windows. I did find a thread here on the dark side that traces a scrolling issue back to a custom pointer installation. If you hover directly over the horizontal or vertical scrollbars and move the wheel will it scroll?

I have been using LV2009 with Win7 for quite a while on multiple machines and have not seen this issue. I'd go with a reinstall. -Toby

I have wished for this in the past as well. It seems messy to use station globals when many projects will never use them. -Toby

One easy way to accomplish this is to write to a Value (Signaling) property node rather than to the indicator itself. That will trigger the event, and you can use the OldVal and NewVal event terminalts to determine if the value has changed. See attached vi. BoolIndEvent.vi

You know I can't say much Ben, but here's what I will say... I was actually surprised. I thought this exam was much easier than the CLD. Perhaps it was just the extra 2 years of experience (and quick drop certainly helped as well). I actually finished everything to my satisfaction with about 5 minutes to spare. Since I didn't really know what to expect I went back and reviewed the 3 CLD sample exams again. That turned out to be a really good idea. Remember that you are allowed to use the built in LabVIEW Templates. I spent some time practicing building various architectures starting from the templates and adding in things like error handling so that I was able to very quickly generate a framework during the test. The other thing that I had to keep reminding myself is that I didn't have to actually write the code, just define the inputs and outputs to each subVI and wire them up and then add a brief comment as to what the subVI should do. I ended up actually coding up one of my subVIs as a sanity check to make sure that what I wanted it to do would actually work...it did. And most of all...Good Luck!

I started a new job yesterday that I think is going to be great, and I just got my CLA results...I PASSED!!! Life is good!

I've heard there is a link between drinking homogenized milk and heart disease...although admittedly I have done no research on the topic. Just thought I'd throw it out there so you can look it up if you are a big milk drinker. I probably should do some research because I drink quite a bit of milk myself.

Well...there is that

I just wanted to say that I wasted a solid hour last night playing with this site...it's way too much fun. Out of respect for my family I won't share any of the anagrams that their names produced.

Congratulations! There's nothing better than being a dad
