QUOTE (achates @ Jun 16 2008, 04:40 AM) When you post code you should make every effort to keep it concise and readable. I took some time to clean up what you posted. This will give you an idea of what I mean. Try to keep code to a single screen if possible. Also, with all of the repeated code in this example you have some great opportunities for subVIs. You mentioned that you are able to write calculated values to file, but I don't see any code that does that. Can you clean up and post the part of the code that you are having trouble with? http://lavag.org/old_files/post-8758-1213631220.vi'>Download File:post-8758-1213631220.vi -Toby

QUOTE (crelf @ Jun 16 2008, 06:13 AM) Doh! The link is broken. Although, since I work right next door to Boeing and have many friends who work there, it might not go over too well if they knew I was flying on an A380 anyway.

QUOTE (Eugen Graf @ Jun 13 2008, 01:46 PM) I think I understand what you are saying. What Justin said is still your solution. If you save the cluster as a typedef you can use it as a control in SubVIs or as constant on a block diagram and it will propagate any changes automatically anywhere the typedef is used.

QUOTE (crelf @ Jun 10 2008, 05:33 PM) LOL! I had forgotten all about that little trick . I think that was all I used a calculator for in 3rd grade.

QUOTE (Justin Goeres @ Jun 10 2008, 11:18 AM) I still think the HP48 series were the best calculators ever made. Not the fastest, but the best. I finally sold my 48GX on ebay a couple months ago for $140. I paid $100 for it used in 1994. I guess there are a lot of land surveyors who use the GX's and they haven't been made for years so there is quite a market for them. I do pretty much all of my calculating on the PC nowadays so I didn't really use it anymore.

QUOTE (Justin Goeres @ Jun 9 2008, 07:16 PM) Ahhh programming calculators. A friend and I once spent most of a weekend programming our HP-48GX's to play our High Schools fight song and then proudly held them up to the microphone at the next pep assembly for the whole school to hear. We were geeks without shame (maybe I should not have put that in the past tense).

QUOTE (Antoine @ Jun 2 2008, 07:00 AM) This is fun stuff. Thanks for posting the link. I'm up to number 9! WooHoo! QUOTE (jaegen @ Jun 3 2008, 11:02 AM) LabVIEW is now in the language list. :ninja: I requested that it be added when I signed up and right away the admin replied that he had added it. He said something about me getting my friends to request it as well so he must have received more than one email

QUOTE (alfa @ May 30 2008, 08:06 AM) How can I know what level I am at? I hope this is not one of those "If you have to ask..." questions

QUOTE (neB @ May 28 2008, 09:01 AM) I was wondering the same thing when I looked at this

QUOTE (Jeff B @ May 23 2008, 11:34 AM) Thanks for the added info Jeff! I'm sure this article will get a lot more hits as more and more people start making the switch to 64bit. Good Stuff :thumbup:

QUOTE (fuzzycontrolfreak @ May 22 2008, 12:08 AM) If you have a specific screen size requirement you can use a frame from the decorations palette to define your front panel and/or block diagram boundaries. As you drag the frame a tooltip will tell you how big it is. Just set it to 800x600 or 1280x600 and keep your code within those boundaries. If your laptop screen is smaller that that it still won't all fit on the screen at the same time, but it will give you a reference to work with as you scroll around. -Toby

A big thank you from me! Whenever you post I almost always learn something from it. Keep it up! :thumbup:

QUOTE (JDave @ May 20 2008, 05:12 PM) :thumbup: Well said!

QUOTE (BrokenArrow @ May 18 2008, 05:38 PM) Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

QUOTE (Michael_Aivaliotis @ May 18 2008, 08:30 PM) I agree with you on this one Michael. I use a 17" widescreen Dell M90 with 1920x1200 resolution. It docks with a 24" monitor at the same resolution. The laptop is not great for travel. It is heavy and bulky - but I was looking for more of a semi-portable desktop replacement as most of my work is done at work or at home. I have 4GB of memory and a Quadro FX 2500M graphics card. I can have multiple programs open and the thing never slows down. If I needed to I could use the laptop monitor as a second screen while at work, but so far the 24" of real estate has been enough for me. I think having the matching screen resolution on the laptop and desktop monitors is more important for me than having an ultra portable computer.

QUOTE (Dan Bookwalter @ May 14 2008, 01:12 PM) When you answer your own question it is always nice if you post the answer so those who come along with the same question can see what you figured out.

QUOTE (Philip Orr @ May 14 2008, 11:02 AM) It looks like you are making a call to the same dll in both loops. Is this a reentrant library file? If not, then I wouldn't expect to see any speed increase because both loops are sharing the same resource and each loop has to wait until the resource is available before the next iteration can run.

QUOTE (jasonw @ May 13 2008, 07:16 AM) If you want to stick with the ring control, why not use a strict type def? Then you make the change once and it auto propogates to all instances of the control/constant.

QUOTE (jpdrolet @ May 12 2008, 10:56 AM) :thumbup: Cool Project. Like crelf said, the offset is pretty standard. There are some controllers that have customizable software that will allow you to set a "center dead zone" so that the position counts don't change until you pass a defined threshold (sounds like what crelf did). http://lavag.org/old_files/monthly_05_2008/post-8758-1210617603.png' target="_blank"> I just purchased a Logitech gamepad that allows me to program the 10 buttons to mimic any keypress or key combitaion. The logitech program runs in the background to handle the translation and can be configured differently for different programs that are running. Could have a lot of cool applications. -Toby

QUOTE (Jaikanth @ May 12 2008, 08:54 AM) Hi Jaikanth, I am not familiar with this site, so I cannot say anything about the videos offered there. What I can say is that there are many resources available for free. I would explore the free options before I paid someone. If you register at ni.com you get access to past webcasts and white papers about LabVIEW. There are also quite a few tutorial videos available on sites like youtube that can help you understand the basics. Good Luck! It's definately worth your time to learn LabVIEW and you'll have fun in the process. -Toby
