I can confirm that the OpenG ZIP library has password functionality, but I've never actually tested it. Considering that Rolf is the originator, I'm sure that this works flawlessly or he wouldn't have provided the interface on the VIs. ZLIB Store

If you got 70%, that's barely passing. The test allows 1 hour, so finishing in 40 minutes means you have enough time to review the questions you weren't sure about and make a 'better best guess'. The two times I took it, I answered all the questions I knew the answer to and moved on as quickly as possible. If the test is still the same, you can review after reaching #40. Go back to those you are unsure about and eliminate the obvious wrong answers and within 20 minutes you should be able to improve your score. Basic "multiple choice" test taking strategy. Regarding training classes; I never took the Basic I & II; I had > 5 years experience when an employer offered to send me. I read the course outlines and knew that the Basic classes would not improve my skills. I took Intermediate I & II back-to-back and it was very good. I later took the Advanced I & II classes and I think my code is much better for it. I would say if you can pass the example CLAD test with > 75% (miss 10 or less) then go for it!

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!

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.

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