  1. Jim wrote this blog post some time ago on his old blog about multiple versions of a file format. Supporting Multiple Versions of a File Format Darin's description seems similar to Jim's method where the application mutates the contents for the user.
  2. Maybe this would be of help? http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/279F064F0688C114862570900057678C You might be able to get the images for each pattern and then fill them in as needed...
  3. I'm not sure why the "Get Conpane Image" private method is not working. (not private in LV2012) I've seen this used in Marc Page's Polish VIs library available on the NI forums. https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-1189 I just downloaded it and tested with both LabVIEW 8.6 and 2012 and the method worked fine.
  4. The type of terminal I used at college can be seen in this image from Wikipedia (note the ash tray next to the operators; I think it was mandatory that you smoked while drafting!) We used a Calcomp 960 plotter for output.
  5. Reminds me of my ComputerVision CADDS III drafting days. The older stations had Tektronix vector storage tube displays that you could manually refresh.
  6. You can set the blinking property, but an XControl's facade does not run continuously. If you update your XControl blinking property enough times, you may notice that the Boolean appears true and other times false. It is not a bug in your code, but rather a timing issue between the blink and when the XControl stops running. The behavior of an XControl is more like a VI in a frameless subpanel than a native LV control. When you set the value or a property of an XControl, LabVIEW will configure the underlying parameters and then perform a Run VI.
  7. The specs list 1GB of RAM. http://us.kontron.com/products/systems+and+platforms/m2m/m2m+smart+services+developer+kit.html
  8. “Eipkalindhöll te uvölîlpa ípçatörza üxt rî’ekçuöbös abzeikhouxhtoù eqarpaň dhai’eickòbüm öt eužmackûnáň xhai’ékc’oxtîmmalt te qhoec îtyatuithaň.” Read more: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/12/24/121224fa_fact_foer#ixzz2FWSI4Iqb
  9. I found this (https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-25034) on the NI forums today. I think this is simply Ton's package posted on the NI forums. If there is no difference, is this an appropriate thing for the person who posted this on NI to be doing?
  10. What's inside, borscht, kimchi or Chicago hot dogs?
  11. Can you really be effective at DDR wearing flip-flops?
  12. This reminds me of the Randomise Array thread. A guy I worked with many years ago interfaced LabVIEW 5.0 to a device / DLL that used radiation counters to generate random values.
  13. W/R/T original post: I think that regex would be useful enough to post it on the Regular Expressions Board
  14. If you simply want to load the file into an array of strings, there is a much simpler way:
  15. Getting paid by the number of nodes - Priceless... (especially when you place your signature in every VI).

  17. Coding Without Comments http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2008/07/coding-without-comments.html Alternately "Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?" Brian Kernighan, "The Elements of Programming Style", 2nd edition, chapter 2
  18. Just found this while waiting for a test to run (had some spare time to read about time) http://infiniteundo.com/post/25326999628/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-time
