    Hi All,

    This is my first post to this great forum; I'm so glad that I have this resource.

    I'm currently using the Base Development System ver. 8.2.1. According to NI this package lacks event based programming features. In fact if I look at the 'structures' palette there is a blank space where the event structure would be in the full version.

    Now, if I take a look at the templates NI provides when you invoke 'New...' from the file menu I find a framework named "Top Level Application Using Events." Clicking on this creates a little VI with an event structure and a stop button. When I run this it behaves just as expected.

    Does anybody have a sense for what kinds of problems I'll run into if I decide to develop and event based VI with the base package? Is it worth the trouble?

    Regards,

    Josh

    My understanding is that existing code will run with the added functionality, but you will not be able to save any edits. You might want to try saving/building with some basic modifications before getting too far into a project.

    We are setting up a laptop to do DAQ and analysis at customer sites. it appears that we will be doing DAQ on a couple of channels at up to 50 Khz/Channel in conjunction with streaming images from a thermal imaging camera via firewire.

    Out of curiosity - What make/model of thermal imaging cameras will you be using?

    When one drags and drops a project item from one project explorer into another project explorer, LabVIEW removes the items from the source project and adds the items to the target project. This is not the behaviour I'd expect. I'd expect LabVIEW to add the same items to the target project without removing the items from the source project. This is how most applications seem to work.

    EDIT: According to local NI this is not a bug but a feature. One should use Ctrl + Drag & Drop to accomplish the functionality. I kind of disagree.

    I'm with you Tomi. This does not seem consistent with other drag/drop functionality in LV. For example, if I drag any item from one VI to another the default action is to copy, not move. The only time I have to hold the ctrl key is when I want to copy an item within the same VI.

  4. Having just completed my CLAD exam (I only missed one question :D ) I came away a bit upset with the wording on a few of the questions. I was forced to give the answer I knew NI was looking for, but on at least two of the questions I could have made a very good argument as to why it was not technically the correct answer based on the wording of the question. Unfortunately I cannot discuss any of them.

    When I took all of my Microsoft certification classes years ago to become a MCSE, they gave me the option to "comment" on any of the questions on the test (this was not timed and occured after you ended the exam but before your score was shown if I remember correctly). The comment would not affect the outcome of the exam, but could perhaps influence Microsoft to change the wording or remove the question from future exams. I would like to see a similar feature on NI's exams.

    Is there any location on a Windows computer where the proxy information can be reliably retrieved?

    Windows stores the proxy settings in 3 registry keys that can be found at:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

    • ProxyEnable stores the value of the checkbox "Use proxy server for you LAN"
    • ProxyServer stores the values of proxy server and port as a string in the format servername:port
    • ProxyOverride stores the value of the checkbox "Bypass proxy server for local addresses"
