QUOTE (Michael_Aivaliotis @ Jun 1 2008, 11:33 AM) This doesn't seem to be working for me (Firefox 3.0 or IE8 on Vista) but I think it would be useful to guide people to use the same tags. QUOTE (tcplomp @ Jun 2 2008, 10:01 AM) Maybe we can use a similar approach to label homework hustlers? I tagged a HH a few days ago and now the tag is gone - was that the poster deleting my tag, or are only admins allowed to post "negative" tags? Too bad you can't lookup the tag history for a given post since anyone can edit them.

QUOTE (Dan DeFriese @ Nov 12 2008, 10:13 AM) That's correct, but I wasn't going to give away the answer. Sometimes programming requires a little logical thought analysis and I haven't seen any of that yet from the original poster. My clue told exactly where to look - it should not have been too difficult to figure out.

QUOTE (jzoller @ Nov 12 2008, 09:59 AM) I agree that this is quite irritating. Kind of like the on-by-default-but-can-be-turned-off Place Structures with Auto-Grow Enabled. I have started using the OpenG Fit VI window to Largest Decoration.VI with the Border Spacing input set to -2 to hide the decoration. That is a quick and easy way to ensure my front panels are always aligned where I want them to be at runtime. Toby

QUOTE (sharon08 @ Nov 12 2008, 12:13 AM) The first thing to do is to verify that you can access the file on your friends computer outside of LabVIEW. Can you browse to it using explorer, mapping a network drive, through an FTP server , etc? Let us know what access you have to the remote file and we can help you read it from LabVIEW. Toby

QUOTE (dannyt @ Nov 12 2008, 01:39 AM) YEAH, I AGREE LOL!

QUOTE (chocobar @ Nov 11 2008, 10:32 PM) I vote with Danny on this one. You must be calling the VI more than once.

QUOTE (Minh Pham @ Nov 11 2008, 02:01 PM) Don't kill yourself looking - I said about 150 . I'm just guessing. I looked for the .doc file to confirm, but I couldn't find it after a short search - it may be on my PC at home. I just remember that it was about 25 pages and I had cropped and shrunk the screenshots quite a bit.

QUOTE (blitzkrieg @ Nov 11 2008, 10:29 AM) Like I said - I haven't tested the code. You'll have to check the logic/math. I just thought if it worked it could save you some time. If I have time I'll take a look at it later, but it would be a good exercise for you to go through the code and figure out exactly what it is doing.

QUOTE (crelf @ Nov 10 2008, 06:11 PM) I found NI to be quite responsive while I was preparing for the CLAD. I found one question (I think in the Basics I & II course material) that had the wrong answer and another online that could be successfully argued to have 2 correct answers. Unfortunately I don't remember what the questions were, but I remember NI was happy to discuss them (and agreed with my assessments ). QUOTE (jcarmody @ Nov 11 2008, 03:05 AM) I even took screen shots of each question so I could go back and wire up every block diagram and study every conceptual question. That's what I did too. I went through the online exam multiple times taking screenshots (failing on purpose so I could take it again) and came up with a pretty good list of questions that I could go through in detail and recreate the VIs in question. I think I had about 150 unique questions. I actually found the real exam to be quite similar to the practice exam questions.

QUOTE (blitzkrieg @ Nov 11 2008, 07:00 AM) I edited my previous post with a new version - download it again and give it a try. Toby

QUOTE (ianalis @ Nov 8 2008, 08:23 PM) No problem. Thanks for posting back the solution - that's good info.

QUOTE (blitzkrieg @ Nov 7 2008, 11:57 PM) Here is a VI you can try. I found it in our "sandbox" and cleaned up (quite a bit believe it or not ). The sandbox is what we call the directory where potentially useful yet not yet used code gets stuck and forgotten. I haven't tested it to see if it works, but it looks promising. Saved for LV 8.0 WinAPI.zip

QUOTE (miab2234 @ Nov 9 2008, 11:49 PM) You might want to double check your shift register initialization values. There is a potential bug the way it is coded now.

QUOTE (Norm Kirchner @ Nov 10 2008, 08:50 AM) Worth every penny!

QUOTE (Jon Sjöstedt @ Nov 10 2008, 08:07 AM) Take a look at http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/max/tips95.htm' target="_blank">this article. It talks about using termination characters for GPIB reads and writes (you can do something similar for serial ports). If you have a port setup with a termination character, you can tell it to read 200 bytes, but if it hits the termination character after 15 bytes it will stop. If your instrumentation supports this it is a nice way to read in one response at a time.

QUOTE (crelf @ Nov 7 2008, 10:20 PM) Wow! Seriously - $9/hr? How are we supposed to compete with that? I'd have to apply for a government bailout if I set my wages that low. Or is that part of your plan ??? :ninja:

QUOTE (Norm Kirchner @ Nov 7 2008, 07:52 AM) That's a neat idea. I hope it gets enough attention to work. Thanks for the link Norm!

QUOTE (horatius @ Nov 5 2008, 08:09 AM) True, but the CCT rocks! Why would you not want to install it???

QUOTE (ianalis @ Nov 5 2008, 03:57 AM) _______________________________________________________________It looks like there is a problem with your wsdl file. I don't know much about the formatting of these files. I was only tasked with getting the services to work from an existing file. Is the schemaLocation a valid address on one of your internal servers? I can't access it and if you can't either then I think that is why it's failing. When I try to validate your wsdl in Eclipse I get the following error message... Failed to read schema document 'http://10.32.148.253:81/Hello/HelloService?xsd=1', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>. -Toby

QUOTE (Neville D @ Nov 4 2008, 09:28 AM) It was a good idea, but that blows away the entire node and replaces it with a standard register for events node. I have it working now, I ended up making a copy of the node and placing it next to the existing one. Then it was pretty easy to set it up the way I wanted it before deleting the original and slipping the copy into it's place and connecting all the wires. I didn't have to "re-wire" much, mostly just reconnect. -Toby

QUOTE (ianalis @ Nov 4 2008, 01:41 AM) It's a multi-step process. You will need wsdl.exe. It comes with visual studio.net. If you don't have it, you can download and install the trial version (or I think VS2008 express will work too - it's free). If you already have wsdl.exe on your system (found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin on my machine) then you are ready. Do a search for wsdl.exe to get more information, but the usage is essentially wsdl {parameters} {path}. For example, if my wsdl is called sample.wsdl and it is in my c:/temp directory I would use the following command: wsdl /language:CS /out:C:/Temp C:/Temp/Sample.wsdl This should create a C# file (with .cs extension) from your wsdl. Then you can use Visual C# (from the command line or the IDE) to compile your file into a class library that is callable from LabVIEW. I know it took me a while to figure it out the first time - hopefully this helps. Note: If you are more comfortable with visual basic you can use the /language:VB parameter and compile from there.

QUOTE (Tomi Maila @ Nov 3 2008, 03:00 PM) I'm actually using 8.6 and I only see Remove Element in the property and invoke nodes - not in the register events node.

QUOTE (shoneill @ Nov 3 2008, 02:53 PM) That's what I was thinking too. Either that, or run some ugly wires from the last item up to the middle to take the place of the one I want to remove (I am able to change an item in the middle, just not remove it) and then remove one item from the bottom. Thanks, Toby

I am making some modifications to the TestStand Full Featured operator interface and I need to remove an item from the middle of the Register Event Callback node seen below (it's about 3 times longer than pictured). With a property node, it is a matter of popping up on the node and selecting "Remove element". I see no such option on the Register Event Callback node. Is there an easy way to do this or am in for a few hours of re-wiring? -Toby
