QUOTE (Antoine Châlons @ Feb 10 2009, 01:52 PM) My guess is homework, but here is the vi I used to solve #25 on project euler (modified to output the entire sequence as a 2D array instead of outputting only the term #. I was going to post it hoping it would get turned in as homework (because it is so pretty ). I'm too slow. Download File:post-8758-1234303321.vi

QUOTE (AutoMeasure @ Feb 10 2009, 08:28 AM) We use Subversion through Gforge and that works pretty good for us. It's all free and Gforge handles project tracking, bug tracking, document tracking, etc. I don't manage the gforge server, so I can't comment on how hard it is to get setup.

QUOTE (hooovahh @ Feb 9 2009, 06:48 AM) If you use something like a recessed frame instead of the recessed box, you will still have access to open real estate on your front panel. You can set the "border spacing" input on the OpenG VI to a -2 or -3 so that the actual decoration will be hidden just off screen at runtime. -Toby

QUOTE (Mark Yedinak @ Jan 23 2009, 12:43 PM) QUOTE (gleichman @ Jan 23 2009, 01:54 PM) I also received my CLD today. Now it's time to start preparing for the CLA. I'm a little late to the party, but Congratulations! And definitely keep the spiders away from me...I make my wife kill any we find in the house. They creep me out.

Totally off topic...but I think I remember Stephen saying once that if his activity on LAVA suddenly increased it was usually a good indicator that all of his work for the next release of LabVIEW was complete and he had a bit of time before work on the next release had to begin. As I read through this thread I was noticing that you've been posting a lot today Stephen. :ninja:

QUOTE (Smile @ Jan 21 2009, 10:33 AM) Good to hear you figured it out on your own. As your project moves forward and you have a better understanding of what you are trying to do please don't hesitate to come back here with any well formed, specific questions you have about the code you are writing.

QUOTE (Bonagel @ Jan 21 2009, 08:05 AM) The tip strip displays the same as the digital display. Open the slider properties and go to the Display Format Tab. From the drop-down menu select Digital Display and then choose Advanced Editing Mode. Make sure there is not a unit in the Format String box. http://lavag.org/old_files/monthly_01_2009/post-8758-1232557598.png' target="_blank">

QUOTE (ASTDan @ Jan 21 2009, 05:52 AM) Thanks Dan! I hadn't noticed this yet. The old user group site for the Northwest (daqman.com) was so painfully slow that I stopped trying to visit the site. This should improve the experience. :thumbup: -Toby

QUOTE (Smile @ Jan 21 2009, 07:20 AM) Not without seeing some code.

Another thing to think about...Right now scripting is free. Rest assured that if it is ever legitamized, NI's nickle-and-dime pricing scheme will find a way to tack on an extra $1000 or so to allow us all to use it.

QUOTE (Mourad @ Jan 20 2009, 10:58 PM) Mark has some excellent points. I just wanted to add that you can also manually send commands in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) using the VISA Test Panel. I've found it to be a useful troubleshooting tool. As Mark suggested, start with the *IDN? command and see if you get valid data back. It should return HEWLETT-PACKARD,34401A,0,XX-XX-XX where XX-XX-XX is the revision number. Also, check the communications setting on the 34401 to make sure the baud rate and parity are set correctly. I think this can only be done from the 34401's menus - not programatically.

QUOTE (Mourad @ Jan 20 2009, 07:22 AM) I have used LabVIEW with the HP34401 so I'm sure it works. Can you post your code for us to take a look at?

QUOTE (zmarcoz @ Jan 20 2009, 06:51 AM) I would expect to see some sort of header with your name and possibly contact information.

QUOTE (torekp @ Jan 19 2009, 05:41 PM) I'm not trying to disuade you from doing this in LabVIEW if that is what you really want to do, but have you looked into using an external email client like outlook express or thunderbird? AT&T should provide you with the POP3 and SMTP addresses to configure mail sending/receiving through any program you want to use. I am using outlook with my comcast and my hotmail accounts and previously had it all set up in outlook express. I think this would be the easiest route for you and your mother-in-law. EDIT: From AT&T's site (this is for a dsl connection - if your connection is different just search their online help for email settings): E-mail Settings:Mail Server Type: POP3 Incoming Mail (POP): ipostoffice.worldnet.att.net Outgoing Mail (SMTP): imailhost.worldnet.att.net Ensure that the option My server requires authentication is checked. User name or POP name: Enter the full e-mail address in the User Name field. For example: example@att.net or example@worldnet.att.net Ensure that the option Always connect to this account using is selected, and Local Area Network is chosen from the drop-down menu on the Connections tab. Ensure that secure connection (SSL) is enabled and set to port number 465 for SMTP. Ensure that secure connection (SSL) is enabled and set to port number 995 for POP3. [*]News Settings: News Server (NNTP): inetnews.worldnet.att.net Ensure that the option This server requires me to login is checked. User name or POP name: Enter the full e-mail address in the User Name field. For example: example@att.net or example@worldnet.att.net Ensure that the option Always connect to this account using is selected, and Local Area Network is chosen from the drop-down menu on the Connections tab. Ensure that secure connection (SSL) is enabled and set to port number 563 for NNTP.

QUOTE (harika @ Jan 19 2009, 09:11 PM) What is the error message that you are getting? Where did nmclib.dll come from? Why are you not using the LabVIEW serial communication VIs to open and configure your port?

QUOTE (Smile @ Jan 19 2009, 01:17 PM) Try posting the code you have so far and asking about a specific section of the code. IMAQ FillImage obviously works - it may be that you are using it incorrectly but we have no way of knowing that. Take some time to read through the link in Neville's post. It really is worth reading and following the guidelines - you'll find people much more willing to help you. -Toby

Good comments so far. One minor nit-pick...I noticed that your log file logs zones 0-5 but the zones are labeled 1-6. That's an interesting architecture with the multiple reentrant state machines. :thumbup:

QUOTE (Smile @ Jan 19 2009, 11:22 AM) IMHO you may have bitten off more than you can chew with this project. Is it too late to change it? The algorithms used in facial recognition software have been developed with millions of dollars and years of research and they still are not that good unless you have a perfect picture. There is a pretty good article http://www.howstuffworks.com/facial-recognition.htm' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">here. Stay away from voice recognition as well - it's not any easier.

QUOTE (jhoskins @ Jan 16 2009, 01:13 PM) That's right! This will be the easiest 10 points you can get. Do it as you go in case you don't have time to go back at the end. Also, do a search here for CLD and you'll find a few threads with some excellent tips. My favorite...Take a small snack and something to drink with you. 4 hours is a long time to be in high intensity mode. Good Luck!
