Making the Active boolean to false =79ms (using Internet Toolkit);

your command line VI=171ms.

I just went through a similar issue with using FTP to post test results to an off-site server. I found that Active = FALSE ( or Passive) was indeed much faster from the client for LIST and PUT, but the FTP server admin asked me to use Active for security and port range issues. I included a boolean in my higher level code (and ultimately my INI file) to set this based on the conditions of the deployed environment.

Active FTP vs. Passive FTP, a Definitive Explanation

UPDATE:

Here is an example of what I use. I wanted to be able to test the ability to connect to the FTP server independent of LabVIEW, so I created a wrapper for the function "FTP Put Multiple Files and Buffers.vi" that parses an RFC-1738 FTP URL.

I check for access to the server using the exact same string from IE or FireFox. If it doesn't work from those, then I might have a firewall or proxy problem.

So, OK... my last post was lame, eh?

Here is a cool web site for Torontonians. I just loaded StumbleUpon and "stumbled" onto this. I've been to Toronto a few times and its beautiful.

The pictures on this sight prove it! I really like this one.

LV 8.6 Known Issues (so soon?)

I suspect these are carry-over known issues from < 8.6 or found during beta trials but not fixed for the released version...

The documentation on the command set is found at http://www.controlanything.com/manuals/ProXR.pdf

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Have you looked at or tried the drivers on their web site?

I must heartedly agree. Style without substance...

I can't write it in Thai, but it goes something like this: Pak-chi roi nah

It means "sprinkle cilantro on its face" (basically cover up the problem)

I think it will take a LOT of pak-chi to cover up the "putrid rotting cadaver" smell ( of the flower; I can't speak for the LV code mentioned )

I would compare some of the code I've seen more to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">durian. It smells, is thorny (can even cut you), but contains something good inside IF you can ever get past the smell.

Has anyone ever written a LabVIEW equivalent of the Microsoft Access InputMask?

For the last few years I've been writing drivers and TCP comms; I've done very little with UI programming accept for a bit of XControl tinkering. I've switched jobs and now work in a LabVIEW tools group. I need to collect formatted data at a test station, and want to create something that would be general purpose and reusable.

I was thinking about using control references and events to check data as its entered into a control. I would use the control 'tip' to store the Input Mask string and maybe use a 'brat' vi that I could drop on the diagram of any UI that contained a control that needed the input mask feature. The brat would search for controls with tips that contain a tagged string, something like

InputMask:[(999)000-0000]

then dynamically register for KeyDown? or maybe Value Change events from that control, then compare the input to that of the mask. No code yet, just an idea...

This would be the second tool I would add to the group (1^st tool added was me )

QUOTE (Aitor Solar @ Jul 10 2008, 07:47 AM)

Now, does adding the conditional break forces LV to resize the buffer, with the added memory allocation? That could be something to keep in mind when using this feature.

This issue was discussed in the Feature Brainstorming forum on NI (see here), but it doesn't discuss what method the final implementation uses. Good reading in any case.

It is a very old idea back in the twenty a lot of car used fabric on wood frame.

The fabric was molesquine ( mole skin? ) , a lot of car had fabric roof as the very first Traction Citroen (all steel no wood) .

But the noise wad defeanning when this cars were at high speed .

The idea is very pleasant . And the new technicals fabric are very nice.

My father was in the US Army in the early 60s and referred to the canvas topped Citroen as a "flying http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelter-half' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">shelter half". He was scared to death of these when driving around Paris.

Should I use an addition indicator to inform the HMI the current status of the I/O Server, so the HMI know how to deal with the control?

I have NO experience with DSC.

What you are describing sounds like a classic Model-View-Controller pattern.

A Google search for LabVIEW Model-View-Controller returned this NI link:
