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)

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.

The servers were pretty swamped at first, but I managed to get through and get the download at about 10:30 AM US Pacific Time (30 minutes after scheduled launch).

So far it seems significantly faster, and only a couple of my favorite Addons (e.g. Mouse Gestures) broke. I never used any of the betas or release candidates, so this is the first I've played with it.

I downloaded it this morning here at work ( 2008/06/18 06:15:00-4:00) and it was almost instantaneous. It installed quickly, and it seems much faster. It automatically updated my Google Toolbar and Sage reader.

I'm impressed with it so far! :thumbup:

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".

Meet Spoolie, I coded him up and sent him to LTR, back in 2002 as a joke.

Today Spoolie would need to be smart enough to ask, "Are you trying to code a Producer/Consumer with Event Structure and Queues?"

But I have to give them a pat on the back, their internal data gathering/management system is a well oiled fighting machine. The world is so horizontal now, and they have taken advantage of it.

NI is becoming The Borg.

Resistance is futile. You shall be assimilated...

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:

Reading a serial port based on events

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.

Or we could just print up our own glyphs/avatars on stickers to place over the lame ones.

Great idea!

I'm looking at what's behind it.

What's up with that operating voltage?! 20.0 V seems a bit high to me :laugh:

There's a config token for this. In your config file put:

Can you help me find GOOD e-bboks or sites for beginners?

I would start with the external links found on this Wiki page: http://wiki.lavag.org/LabVIEW' tutorial' rel='nofollow' title='LabVIEW Wiki article on LabVIEW tutorial' alt='Wiki article on LabVIEW tutorial' style="border-bottom: 1px dotted #3366BB; color: #3366BB; cursor:pointer; text-decoration:none;" class="wiki">LabVIEW tutorial

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.

I think the code would appear much simpler while also demonstrating LV's natural strength if sub-VI's with good icons were used for each phrase of the song with names like;

The loop would "look" like the song and in execution highlighting it could act ou the song. And to give it that extra "LAVA-twist" add scripting to change the icon of "Pass_It_Around" to animate the passing.
