Thanks for all the hard work! Good to have LAVA back online! -Toby

I see there are some new options for "Voting a post up" and giving a star rating to a thread. Each user also has a "reputation" count. How are these things tied together? The reputation appears to be tied to the number of votes a member receives on his/her posts. Does the star rating also contribute to reputation? Gone are the days of making many useless posts to make myself appear useful. -Toby Edit: On a side note...I am able to give a star rating to my own post. That seems odd to me.

Nicely done John! I've thought about doing this for a while now, but I can almost always find something to do with my time that doesn't involve dealing with the "slog" of MSDN. Thanks for taking the time to share this! -Toby

As far as I know there is no way to specify a specific error file for a specific project unless you write your own code to make it happen. This would be a good feature suggestion though. -Toby

Good One!

I was just coming to post this. You beat me to it -Toby

Great! Thanks.

Trying to upload my personal image failed because the file was too large. I had to manually shrink it down before uploading it. The avatar uploader properly resized the file.

QUOTE (jlokanis @ May 20 2009, 03:40 PM) Nice catch! I didn't even know you could ctrl drag tunnels. It makes sense, I guess I had just never tried it.

QUOTE (ASTDan @ May 20 2009, 02:34 PM) Excellent! I guess I should have checked first.

QUOTE (ASTDan @ Aug 28 2008, 11:12 AM) Consider yourself reminded (I don't actually know when NI calls for presentations, I might already be too late). Of course, I'm hoping the presentation notes will be made available as I won't be able to attend (all non-critical travel has been cut from the budget). I'm still struggling with my error handling. I was able to glean some ideas from the JKI State Machine, but I still feel like I have a lot to learn in this department.

QUOTE (Norm @ May 18 2009, 11:31 PM) With a tdms file, you can configure the properties of each channel individually. All of the data and configuration information is stored in a single file and an index file is created automatically so that you can read/write to any part of the file quickly. You can specify a particular channel name and/or location and only read that data. There is a plugin for excel that will pull a tdms file into an excel spreadsheet. There are a couple screenshots below of one of my tdms files converted to excel 2007. As you can see, the plugin creates a file with two tabs. The first tab is the channel configuration data, and the second tab is the captured data. You can get more complicated with your data structure, but I didn't need to in this case. Once the data is in excel, you can easily create charts or crunch numbers if you need to. We were using plain text files and after switching to tdms, we have never looked back. There is a bit of a learning curve, but making the switch has greatly simplified our lives.

QUOTE (PaulG. @ May 18 2009, 06:16 AM) I no longer value your opinion. Kidding, of course, but I saw Star Trek this weekend and loved it. I think it was very well done with the actors throwing in just enough of the original characters' quirkiness to make it believable.

QUOTE (Ton @ May 15 2009, 10:16 PM) I would also recommend TMDS files. They will be much faster and more compact than text files, and the excel plugin seems to work pretty well if you want to use excel. You can individually configure multiple channels to handle the various satellites and only have to manage a single file.

We have considered trying the PushOK plug-in. Currently we use TortoiseSVN or SilkSVN and do all SVN transaction outside of LabVIEW. For anyone who has used it, do you think the integration provided by the PushOK plug-in is good enough to make it worthwhile?

QUOTE (asbo @ May 15 2009, 10:56 AM) Thanks. That's what my testing showed too, so I guess I'll go with the checkout command to simplify my code unless I hear about or discover a good reason not to do it that way.

In the little bit of testing that I have done, it seems that when svn checkout is run on a pre-existing working copy it acts just like svn update. I can't find any "official" reference to this in the manual or googling. Can anyone confirm or dispute this claim? The only difference I see is that svn checkout requires an explicit URL? I am in a situation where I would like TestStand to pull the latest files from a subversion repository before each test begins. If calling svn checkout will not cause any problems then it greatly reduces the code I have to write. I can do one simple "checkout" which will either checkout or update depending on the state of the build tree (I don't have to try to figure out if a working copy already exists). Thanks, Toby

QUOTE (crelf @ May 11 2009, 01:40 PM) Nice. :thumbup: I saw a similar piece of code a couple of days ago. Mine can't be reduced to a constant, but there is a lot of room for improvement... http://lavag.org/old_files/monthly_05_2009/post-8758-1242078190.png' target="_blank">

QUOTE (Daklu @ May 3 2009, 11:45 PM) I like that idea. :thumbup: I was scanning name tags at the Seattle Dev Day to see if I recognized anyone.

QUOTE (Tuner @ May 1 2009, 05:35 AM) Dovrebbe essere possibile con la scheda che hai, ma senza più informazione non saprei dire di sicuro. It should be possible with the card you have, but without more information I can not say for sure.
