QUOTE (Dan DeFriese @ Nov 12 2008, 10:13 AM)
I believe Toby was refering to the fact that, for a given number set, the min and max may not always be less than or greater than 0.5.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. -

In short, it's irritating, just like the on-by-default-but-can-be-turned-off selection scrolling on the table indicator is irritating. :thumbdown: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.

To start with, I wanted to open a text from my friend's machine considering my machine as the server. But i could nt. Do I need to write any TCP/IP kind of appilcations for this..???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.

I need help over here...the problem that lies with my VI is that when i run it, it will continue on sending out sms to the phone number repeatedly...my problem now is that i need to make the VI to send out only once when its being triggered...anyone have a solution???I vote with Danny on this one. You must be calling the VI more than once.

Got so far around 90 unique questions. I will go through a bit more this week as TobyD has 150, that sounds like a target.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. -

Thanks Toby D! for the effort, the controller runs , but it always shows the PID output as the value of the upper limit.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.

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.

I tried all that, I have searced for PID, it showd 36 results all of which require the PID Control ToolKit. So if anyone has the PID example of LABVIEW 8.2 which does not require the PID Control Toolkit, can you post it up? it would be appreciatied!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

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.

That's a neat idea. I hope it gets enough attention to work. Thanks for the link Norm!

_______________________________________________________________I'm still having problems generating the dll...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>.

I don't know much about this stuff, but could you use an old LV trick where you change the node to "register for events", remove the offending element and then change back to "Register for Event Callback"?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.

Hi!How did you generate the dll? I only need to generate a dll for a web service made using Java and hosted using glassfish. I've tried using LabView 8.0 and 8.6 but I was unsuccessful for both.
Thanks.
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.

Maybe it's easier to set the values to default values (Some newly created event which is never called?) and then just submit it to the Rube Goldberg section on the NI forum.....
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?

Hi there,Actually, i just installed labview 8.5 on my ubuntu linux. I can say that it is success. But then, I have a question. Is there NI Vision Development module that be able to install on Ubuntu linux? Because currently, I'm running a project that involve with vision. before this i develop my labview algorithm on OS Windox XP pro. then now, i just want to try develop on linux. I hope that i can get the answer for my question. Thank you in advance
NI Vision is not currently supported on Linux (and there are no plans to offer support that I have heard about).

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.

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.
