I can't find Michael's suggestion (LAVA 1.0 post) but maybe this could be added to the LabVIEW Idea Exchange...

I already did, last night. Can I still hang with you guys? When's the funeral? I'm guessing it might be alright for me to hang here, as long as I bring the donuts...

Is the gigabit connection 'just because' or is the data stream really so fat that you need that speed? If 'just because' you could add a USB to Ethernet adapter to the laptop (quick stop at Best Buy), then a couple of Ethernet to SC converters? Not pretty, but...

Maybe you could replace your 'output' NIC with a multiport NIC, or just place another NIC in the LabVIEW PC and run an additional point-to-point cable. I did something similar in a 'secure' facility, the point to point cabling made everyone happy. I recall that I had some additional coding problems though because the comms were UDP and I needed to keep track of which interface I was talking and listening to... If hardware got you into this mess, more hardware can get you out!

This thread on the NI forums may be of some help. Get generated value of a new dataset

Much simpler than LVOOPIVIVILAVA!

I think the problem is that the source is not a file, it appears to be a script. The MIME type is not recognized by LAVA as a valid image type. I think the use of the scripts was a recent change to the NI forums.

For testing purposes, you could try hosting your files via NFS on a Windows PC using Windows Services for Unix V3.5. Wikipedia info It's a free download, but is not actively supported anymore. I used this some time ago when I had to recover a bunch of stuff from an HP Unix based VME controller. I installed WSU on my PC, created a sharepoint and mounted it from the VME controller without a hitch (no LabVIEW involved though).

Kudo'ed! Do you have your every-day configuration for controls and indicators set for Icon display?

We only upgrade every few years. Our last upgrade was from 7.0 to 8.6. We used the release notes combined with an add-in to VI Analyzer called the VI Upgrade Analyzer. I think that VI Analyzer may be licensed in LV 2009 as a separate package. Upgrading to the Latest Version of LabVIEW LabVIEW 2009 Upgrade Tests

If you choose to check DropBox out, use this link and I'll get a little extra storage for the referral. https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTM2MjI0Njk I believe you get 2GB of space free. I think archived versions of files older than 60 days are purged to reduce DropBox's costs on the Amazon S3 cloud. (CORRECTION: 30 DAYS)

I'm starting to think about a fallback strategy for our current test report storage. We subscribe to a service that has been fairly reliable and offers some great statistics, but their support levels combined with our smaller size may not survive the budgetary process. I've used and like DropBox as a personal service and think it's great. I read that DropBox is based on Amazon's S3 (Simple Storage Service) and I wondered if anyone has experience using S3 with LabVIEW and/or TestStand.

Quoting myself: Is that acceptable? I read this article this morning and though of this post. Paper companies want us to print more! I also recently got to experiment with my sister-in-law's iPad. It was actually quite nice. She had downloaded several of the free classic books and they were quite readable. You can view single pages or turn the unit sideways and view two pages at a time. There's a 'lock' at the top of the device to prevent it from matching the orientation of the iPad (vertical or horizontal). My 9 year old daughter said "Dad, it's a big iPod touch! Can I get this instead of an iPod for my birthday?" I have to give the iPad the nod over the Kindle or Nook; it's more expensive but is a true computing device. I think I would rather have one device over three or more (laptop, ebook, music/vid player and handheld game player). Last year it was netbooks; this appears to be the year of the tablet. A dual core Pine Trail Atom tablet with an SSD and a 7" OLED screen will be very nice. You could even run LabVIEW on it!

I believe the SI units for angular velocity is radians per second. I entered "rad/s" (use the time seconds s; not the " angular seconds) as the units and it was accepted.

Big brother's cat eats snails?

I learned SNMP many years ago, the hard way. A Google search returned many positive indications/reviews for a book called 'Essential SNMP'.

What is the source of your UDP data? Is it a LabVIEW application, or a custom device?

I've used connectionstrings.com once or twice to resolve problems connecting to databases. There are sections for most of the major DBs as well as using Excel files! 'dbmssocn' The network library used to establish a connection to an instance of SQL Server. Supported values include dbnmpntw (Named Pipes), dbmsrpcn (Multiprotocol, Windows RPC), dbmsadsn (Apple Talk), dbmsgnet (VIA), dbmslpcn (Shared Memory, local machine only) and dbmsspxn (IPX/SPX), dbmssocn (TCP/IP) and Dbmsvinn (Banyan Vines). The corresponding network DLL must be installed on the system to which you connect. If you do not specify a network and you use a local server (for example, "." or "(local)"), shared memory is used.

I've been looking at some LV code that looks like someone wiped their... Oh never mind...
