what the heck is CTSA and CPI?

Hi Folks, is there any possibility to set a Conditional Disable Symbol for a "Machine" which applies to all Projects opened on this machine? thx, CB

BTW: Did I ever mention here, that I passed the CLA exam in 11/2007?

hmm ... let me guess: you totaly messed up your last project and your boss forced you to clean up the stock?

I had the same problem almost a year ago. I also tried (hard) to get comfortable with Perforce but finally I decided that Perforce is not suitable for me and removed it from my disks .... that was the nice version: In fact I am convinced that Perforce is just crap. I've never used a piece of software that made me more headaches than this one! This "workspace and change-list stuff" really drove me crazy. The sad thing is, that VSS has no trial version, so what I do now is: use some (self written scripts) which retrieve my LabVIEW work directory once a day, and make a backup. Maybe this solution is not that secure but it is comfortable and at least I have "some" security. I decided to write my own SCC for LV, but this project is idle until I have more time - which will probably happen not before 2056 Maybe you want to check out CVS/SVN but I - for my part - am to lazy to set up a linux server and get it running - sorry, but I have still to much work

QUOTE(David Boyd @ Nov 30 2007, 11:10 PM) I, e.g. did not notice this, because I allways turn off the default right-click and default VI menus in any application. If I need a right click menu on a control or a VI menu bar I allways use the custom menus.

QUOTE(crelf @ Nov 9 2007, 05:54 PM) hua, don't confuse me! (I'm crazy enough ) I will not follow my first intention and change my screen name to "crelfX2" (or something like that) - that would most probably confuse the whole LV community :beer:

by the way and just to add some fuel to the fire If NI would ask me (of course it does not, but if it does ) what is more important for the further development of LabVIEW a) LVOOP b) an Atmel AVR Module for Labview, which allows the user to programm an Atmel µC in a way the FPGA Module does ... I'd answer b! ... and again I have famous support

QUOTE(Michael_Aivaliotis @ Aug 25 2007, 01:42 AM) hmm: that depends on the VI. I mostly work "bottom UP" and the testing is done during development. I have (developed) a tool for tracking the "review" status, which uses persistent tags and gives me the ability to view the "review status" of a VI hierarchy. I can mark a VI as "unchecked", "tested and OK", "needs review" ... etc 1. simple VI: enter the expected inputs, hit the run button and take a look at the outputs. If the result are as expected, I assume my code is correct and I test what happens, if the VI gets unexpected values. Maybe it should drop an error on unexpected inputs or deliver default values, etc ... 2. modules, e.g. a DAQmx functional global: I create a testing shell, where I can run that module "standalone" and watch the outputs, the timing behaviour, etc. If all looks fine, that VI gets the "approved mark". I also test "more complicated algorithms" within a test shell ... 3. integrating VIs: I Put all my modules, simple VIs, etc in and make the "big bang" test. Mostly this takes a little bit more time, to debug/test those VIs 4. Main VI: the Main VI is under constant testing, because I use it as the test shell for the simple VIs, modules, etc. It's probably the most tested VI in my whole application.

QUOTE(dsaunders @ Aug 23 2007, 10:14 PM) I just wondered how it would be possible to code a recursion in a single block diagram?

QUOTE(Ben @ Aug 23 2007, 07:39 PM) just to add some more explanation: I am not against LVOOP in principle. But the only thing that counts in my business is to deliver good quality within time and budget, which means, there is little room for experiments. If I make experiments and my tools are buggy or are in their fledgling stages, that will cost me extra time, nerves and money. I'd simply like to avoid that. I can state that I will use LVOOP, if I have an advantage in my business. In the meantime, I'd like to thank developers like Tomi for their patience and there enthusiasm to test and improve new technologies and AQ for improving LV - I hope you have enough stamina

QUOTE(Michael_Aivaliotis @ Aug 23 2007, 07:10 PM) I hope nobody will force me to use classes. Nobody forces a C Programmer to switch to C++! And IMHO it's a bad idea to force a programmer to use a specific feature. If that feature gives him an advantage (faster, better, cleaner code, etc ..) he will use it. That would be the only "force" I'd accept. Besides: I consider the first LVOOP features as a stepstone to a new programming language (maybe called G++ ?) which needs - accoording to the statement of Dr. T - at least 15 years for widespread addoption

my answers are: I have tried it, but I do not use it in major appications and I am waiting for by reference objects. my reasons: first, I am stuck with the c++ object model: I create a class and use instances of them in my code. LVOOP does not fit in my "what objects are and how to use them" - world second: I have lots of work and I am allways short on time, so I take the risk of using a new feature and maybe needing extra time for learning only if I am sure, that new feature will save me time later. I do not believe, that LVOOP at the current stage can speed up my development. third: I am used to the heavy usage of old style / functional globals. The big advantage (in my eyes) is, that all data of that "module" are stored inside that VI and I don't have to drag the wires across my application (except the error cluster). As far as I experienced LVOOP classes do not automatically store their members and I have to drag lots of wires again.

QUOTE(Michael_Aivaliotis @ Aug 21 2007, 03:13 AM) ok, convinced QUOTE(Michael_Aivaliotis @ Aug 21 2007, 03:13 AM) If there were hundreds of users for your ADO toolkit requesting features then I think you would implement the feature since it obviously is something you can sell. BTW:I have no plans to make a product out of it ...

QUOTE(Michael_Aivaliotis @ Aug 19 2007, 09:08 PM) I would be a really good day for me, if NI releases scripting, but I am unsure whether that is the right place/way? e.g. If there were hundreds of users of my ADO toolkit, who would request a special feature in my forum, I guess, I'd consider this as spam. Second, I am not sure, if it is usefull to make extra pressure? I think NI knows that there is a strong demand for this feature, but NI does not want to spread this feature right now (most probably due to "who should support this stuff"-reasons?). NI is a company and if there is any chance to sell a feature or increase the value of a current product by adding a new feature, I am allmost sure, they will do it. third: I tried to make a post at the ni.com forums, but I don't know how. I have definitively an account and I am a registered member, but I couldn't find the response button to your post :blush:
