sure, it's simlpe: just enter the correct password in the password dialog (sorry, could not resist )

that sounds plausible .. thx!

cool stuff

simple question --> simple answer yes you can. the attatched example should work (at least i hope so, because i use it as an example on thursday in a seminar ...) Download File:post-885-1139857261.zip

thanks! getting good feedback is allways nice :-) when i started the development, I knew nothing about LabSQL, and i started developing, because i was to cheap to pay 1200

hmmm ... I don't think, mom needs input from me to get that idea ;-) but an other question is, how much did the discussions in this forum contribute to the decission of mom to hide it at a deeper level?

hey, that's cool, Jim! until now, I was using a cluster from the "classic" menu and made the frame and background transparent. then I wrapped the "dialog" border around the elements. the result looks like your solution, but yours is more "generic". thx! cb

i heard rumors, LV 8.0.1 is allready in the queue? maybe this will kill the remaining options very soon?

nothing. its free of charge and it's updated regularily, because I use a DB in allmost every project. :-). If you want to use it - you are free to do so, if you don't like it ... don't use it :-). it's just an other choice, like you have the choice to drive a VW, or a BMW, or a Mercedes ... ok, i own an Audi ;-) I did not know about LabSQL, when I started developing my toolkit, and i started developing, because i was to cheap to pay for the NI Database connectivity toolkit :-). Last but not least, i do a lot of work, others have allready done, because I want to learn how thinks work on my own. My ADO-Toolkit is a result of studying the VB-ADO MSDN-Help ... I think, the best way to learn stuff, is to write a tutorial :-) cheers! CB

Do you mean a forum for things like this: --> stuff, that nobody knows, because noone ever gets so deep into the manual?

hmm ... i am not used with express VIs, so my guess is, your configuration of the trigger VI is not correct. please use the example finder and take a look at "triggered measurement". i am sure, there are some examples, which you may find helpfull ...

oh, i see, the documentation in the examples is n german ... ok, here is some explanation: first of all, all ADO-Toolkit VIs have a context help, which give you a hint, what they do. second: use MS Access and take a look at the database and take a look at the relations. adobsb.mdb is a simple database which simulates a measurement-DB: there are 3 tables: users, measurement and measurment data (tbl_user, tbl_messung, tbl_messwert) in the measurment table, the timestamp of start and end of the measurment are stored, plus the information, who made the measurment (referenced by fk_user) in the data table, all measurement data are stored, referenced by the information, to which measurement they belong (referenced by fk_messung) the first demo opens a database and executes a query, receives the data and parses them into an 1D Array of LabVIEW data: the second example shows how to insert data ...

my question is: Is anybody out there with an activated and licensed LV8 scripting? If yes, what did you do to get it? Can I get it, too?

Thanks, PJM, for doing all the work and contributing this nice tool to the community!

take a look at the "Snd Write Wave File.vi" ... which is in the LV7.1 Palette found at: Functions --> Graphics & Sounds --> Sound --> Sound File

maybe you want to try my ADO-Toolkit ? Post #2482 there are some examples on my homeplage., if you need a clue, how it works. ADO Toolkit examples

use the DAQmx VIs to 1. create a task 2. add the desired channels to the task 3. set the sampling rate, etc 4. scan continiously 5. check thresholds and "export" data if the values exceed your thershold ... 6. somewhen: stop the acquisition and clear the task. The attatched vi may give you an idea, how it works. You have to implement the range-checking in the "data aqcuisition loop" and the file writing in the "dequeue element loop" ...

i had some trouble with an USB to serial adapter, too, this week (keyspan 19Hs). but the reason was not the adapter, but the USB 2.0 Hub (a cheap one from the supermarket ...): the voltage controler got to hot and the hub "hang up" ... after applying a heatsink, all worked fine ...

you can do this with my "project copy tool": Post #2432

a warm wellcome to the lava board not with labview! the defined datatype for the listbox items is string. you can not insert anything else. maybe you want to use an array of menu rings? but you will get trouble when managing the references, because you have to handle them all dynamically or use a fixed width array ... (du willst doch schon wieder murks machen! und - ich hab dich schon am nic erkannt! ) Gr

maybe this is the solution?

my guess is: he can not, because ne needs the "BlockDiagram" refrence, which throws an exception in LV 8

hmm ... i wonder why someone needs decorations lager than a screen size? who wants to programm those wallpapers? if i suggest, that jim has allready bought his 30 inch dell LCD he would only need 2560x1600 :question: i can understand that sometimes you need lots of space in the BlockDiagram, but on the Frontpanel ?

you can set the keyboard shortcuts in LabVIEW 8 in the "Options" Dialog

there is no problem. a windows dll will simply not work on linux. but if you have the source code, you can compile it as a *.so module yourself ... (dont ask for more, that's all i know about that topic )
