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.

I just downloaded it and tested with both LabVIEW 8.6 and 2012 and the method worked fine.

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.

Wait till you see LabVIEW 2013. It's so ahead of it's time it's nostalgic. Lucky I hacked NI and stole a snapshot build so I can show you all:

Reminds me of my ComputerVision CADDS III drafting days. The older stations had Tektronix vector storage tube displays that you could manually refresh.

Yes and No.

Consider the case where I lock my bike up and lose the key. It's not illegal for me to break the lock and take my bike back.

As long as you are the owner of the bike. 

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.

But aren't the called sub-VIs?

The specs list 1GB of RAM.

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?

What's inside, borscht, kimchi or Chicago hot dogs?

Looks like you need one of these:

Can you really be effective at DDR wearing flip-flops?

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.

W/R/T original post: I think that regex would be useful enough to post it on the Regular Expressions Board

If you simply want to load the file into an array of strings, there is a much simpler way:

How about this gem?

Getting paid by the number of nodes - Priceless... (especially when you place your signature in every VI).

Especially the bald ones

Just found this while waiting for a test to run (had some spare time to read about time)

:shudder:

Do I hit the Like This button, or not?

Keep in mind that the implementations so far all read the complete file into memory then decode.

Not an issue for a few hundred KB or even MB, but If you try to do this with really big files and then combine these in RAM for writing to disk as a single file then you may run into problems.
