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.

I've been reading a blog called Good Math, Bad Math for some time. Some (OK much) of the mathematics goes over my head, but the author also takes issue with some ID folks that are crackpots and he takes them to task. He also has some good categories such as programming, graph theory and this thread's primary subject Intelligent Design. Also, there is a good (and geeky) discussion about Apophis

QUOTE (emwtur @ Apr 14 2008, 06:38 AM) The "Community" area on NI changed somewhat in I think Feb/Mar timeframe. I just went to find the new location of the API and discovered that it isn't there. It appears you've been digging and found Qizhen's post linking to the same 'community' forum. Maybe NI pulled it for a reason...
