    You may be sad when you switch to 8.5 / 8.6 :(

    LV 8.6 Release Notes, Page 14:

    Opening LLBs in LabVIEW

    The Enable Windows Explorer for LLB files option on the Environment page of the Options dialog box no longer exists. LabVIEW opens LLBs in the LLB Manager window. Refer to the National Instruments Web site at ni.com/info and enter the info code http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/8209AD1184FF4851862572270054427A?OpenDocument' target="_blank">exvfc5 for more information about opening LLBs.

  3. The care and feeding of Sequence Structures

    Regardless of the intelligence level of the CAR ;) , crashes are never a good thing. :nono:

    Now just because it's CAR'd doesn't mean it might not end up being filed under the "who in the their right mind would make a 10000 frame stacked sequence structure AND THEN replace it with a flat sequence" bucket. That, truly is an honor reserved for a very few.

    I suspect it will be noted in the release notes. It would read similar to

    Patient: "Doctor, it hurts when I do this"

    Doctor: "Don't DO THAT!"

    Bud-dum-tish! :P

  5. Select Default Connector Pane in Tools-> Options-> Front Panel

    in LabVIEW Feature Suggestions

    I just read the Noel's Feature Brainstorming entry here, submitted my INI file and suggested that Darren's example VI be incorporated into the Options Dialog.

    I also went looking in the WIKI for the defaultConPane setting and couldn't find it (As Norm often says "search sucks"). I added defaultConPane to the Misc options page

    Let's see what happens...

  7. Interview Questions

    in LAVA Lounge

    For any inappropriate questions one might want to ask, you can get the answers without asking. All you really need is check out Google, Facebook or MySpace. :P

    Or in the case of LabVIEW prospects, the NI Forums or most importantly, LAVA! (As Michael already indicated).

    I hope I'm not in trouble. Maybe I should stay away from the lounge and BreakPoint from now on... :unsure:

  10. LabVIEW 8.6 Released

    in Announcements

    Epiphany:

    While defining my shot-cuts, I suddenly realized, I do not know what the official names of all of the operators I generally use! Talk about being visually oriented!

    I remember reading (or writing) in a forum somewhere that the primitive names in LabVIEW are not always consistent with textual languages. The (my?) example was Modulus. In LV it's Quotient & Remainder. :wacko:

  13. Fast FTP directory/file listing

    in Database and File IO

    QUOTE (Neville D @ Aug 6 2008, 06:50 PM)

    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.

    Neat = unmixed and room temperature, eh? What is room temperature in Austin during August? Does it require a "contents hot" label like a McDonalds coffee? :laugh:
