I have updated a few OpenG Tools to LabVIEW 2009 and VIPM 2011, addressing any issues along the way. These packages will be available for download through VIPM in a few days. Rename Folder of VIs (v4.0.0.15) Note: This tool should be mass compiled (VIPM option) for use in LabVIEW 2010+ otherwise it will take a while to load due to the internal dependencies. Locate File in Project (v4.0.0.7) Compare VI To Disk (v4.0.0.9) Thanks to Danny Thomson for reporting, fixing and testing a bug relating to Application Instances. Kind regards Jonathon Green OpenG Manager

Hello! It was found that the function Request Deallocation does not free memory after using an array of strings (or any other multi-dimensional array). Description of the experiment: There is a VI from which subVI is called by command. In the subVI only one-dimensional array (numbers or strings) generated. If the array element type is number (I32), then allocated memory is released (using the function Request Deallocation). If the array element type is string (or any other multi-dimensional array), the memory will not be released. Anyone faced this problem? If yes, what should we do? Excuse for bad english. main.vi memoryusage.vi

This package will be available for download through VIPM in a few days. This release and covers a request for the LabPython package to be view-able under the new 4.x Top Level Menus, and to fix a dependency issue (related to this thread). This package was tested with Python 2.5 on both Windows 7 x86 and Windows XP x86. If any developers want to continue to work on the Labpython project or any other OpenG project just PM me.

This package will be available for download through VIPM in a few days and contains new VIs for working with LVOOP data created by drjdpowell. The API has been designed with optimization improvements available in 2012 in mind. The palette has been approved by asbo [NEW] 3484610 - New LVOOP Data Functions Kind regards Jonathon Green OpenG Manager

This package will be available for download through VIPM in a few days and covers some bug fixes, performance updates, and new VIs. [FIX] 3386531 - Get Array Element Default Data does not support Timestamp [FIX] 3252254 - "Set Variant Name.vi" Kills Attributes [FIX] 3386530 - Create new Waveform and Refnum TD subtype VIs [FIX] 3386538 - Update Variant Constant to LabVIEW 2009 appearance [FIX] 3411109 - Recursive VIs should use native recursion (lvdata) [FIX] 3411324 - New VI: "Get Default Data from Variant" Waveform and Refnum Subtype Enums There are now new VIs and Enum Controls for determining the sub-type of Waveforms and Refnums datatypes. These VIs were designed by Jim Kring and solve the issue of parsing such datatypes as e.g. Timestamp (Waveform subtype) and VISA (Refnum Datatype). This will allow OpenG support such (sub) datatypes in e.g. Format To String.vi in the near future. Get Default Data from Variant This VI forms a thin wrapper around the Get Default Data from TD.vi complementing the Variant API nicely. You can New Variant Constant Image The Variant Constant image has been updated to be inline with the change made in a previous LabVIEW version both in the palette and on the block diagram.] There is no functional difference between the two constants. Here is a Test: Kind regards Jonathon Green OpenG Manager

I am very pleased to announce the release of the OpenG String Library 4.1.0.12 package as the features were driven by the LAVA community. This package will be available for download through VIPM in a few days. Thanks to Ed Dickens for helping to review changes. And thank you to everyone who participated in the online discussions. Changelog: [MOD] 3303663 - Format Variant Into String__ogtk.vi doesn't handle Timestamp [MOD] 3292424 - Update Trim Whitespace with Fast Trim [FIX] 3275381 - "Slice String__ogtk.vi" has Input or RHS of Connector Pane [FIX] 1958939 - "Scan Variant from String" missing description [MOD] 3275249 - Update OpenG Comment [FIX] 3386135 - OpenG Comment not Merge VI in palette [MOD] 1914597 - Format Variant Into String missing DAQ, DAQmx, and VISA type [MOD] 921506 - "Format Variant Into String" should accept RefNums [NEW] 3419755 - Create new String To Character Array VI Below are some of the changes in detail. New, Faster Trim Whitespace Code This was the first community review that integrated Shaun R's Fast Trim code which was further optimized by Darin K. The VI is ~7x faster than the native implementation! New String To Character Array VI Wouter proposed this new VI which splits a string into an array where each element is a character. The code was optimised by Fab and Darin K. Slice String Connector Pane Fixed The connector pane for Slice String no longer has an input on the right hand side. The original VI was deprecated. I64, U64, VISA, DAQ, Timestamp Support Added to Format Variant to String and Scan Variant From String One of the more requested features is that the Timestamp datatype is now supported in these VIs. ISO 8601 was proposed by Phillip as the default timestamp format however, you can specify any %T type formatting. Thanks to Mellroth with helping out with the format code. Once you have installed the new package, download this snippet to test for yourself: Kind regards Jonathon Green OpenG Manager
