QUOTE (Thang Nguyen @ Jul 1 2008, 06:33 PM) 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: Model-View-Controller Design Pattern (DSC Module)

I'm guessing that your mechanical action for the Print button is different than your other buttons and that you are using a "Value Change" event to trigger your print action. Until will generate two value change events; one for the down and one for the up... Example (7.0) Download File:post-949-1214824868.vi

You could add a splitter and configure it as described in this post (w/link to NI), then place your ActiveX control inside the bottom pane.

There was a presentation at last year's NI Developer Day that demonstrated using the voice recognition capabilities of Windows Vista with LabVIEW. http://www.ni.com/swf/flv/labview/us/vista/vr/

I just recieved an NI email about training (Ugh!) and noticed the link at the bottom to update my profile. I decided to look at my profile a bit closer. I wonder of the communications settings might put an end to receiving these types of calls? I just change Phone to "No".

Its hard to suggest a strategy without knowing a bit more. A sample or picture of your code would help. Why are you initializing the interfaces after every read? Are the serial devices all the same type? Do the serial devices include some sort of termination character with each message? Maybe some of these links will help: The Effect of Asynchronous vs Synchronous VISA Write and Read Functions Reading a serial port based on events

Confirmed. Using FF 2.0.0.14

Can you use a splitter bar? I think these were added in 8.0. You would set the lower pane to be a constant height and disable the vertical and horizontal scroll bars. http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3687

You might want to try and attend one of the Developer Education Day events. I just attended the one in Boston yesterday and there were sessions (Multicore Systems and Improving Application Performance) that discussed parallelism and clumping. If the event has already happened in your area, contact your sales rep and ask for a copy of the bound materials. Mine has the following barcode info on the back: 351296D-01 Apr08.
