Tomi Maila Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Hi fellows, I joined LAVA January 29th, 2006. That means, today is my first LAVA birthday!!! To celebrate my birthday, I changed my LAVA nick name to my real name Tomi Maila. My previous LAVA nick was jimi. I know you all are capable enough to make the connection... Further to celebrate my LAVA birthday I subscribed to LAVA premium mebership to support this great forum! I challenge everybody who has written more than 100 posts to subscribe to premium membership at their next LAVA birthday! EDIT: As a birthday cake I provide the community Create Multiple Occurrences subVI I just wrote. The VI is inspired by Ben's community nugget from today. The occurrences are distinct under any circumstances unlike the occurrences directly created with Generate Occurrence node or unlike notifiers. Creating many occurrences using this VI should be relatively fast. The Create Multiple Occurrences node is distributed under BSD license i.e. you are free to use it in any of your project with no charge and no obligations. The file is for LabVIEW 8.0 or later. I don't have earlier versions of LabVIEW installed on this computer. EDIT 2: There is a problem in this VI, do not use this yet!

LAVA 1.0 Content Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 ..to celebrate my LAVA birthday I subscribed to LAVA premium mebership to support this great forum! Happy Lava-versary Tomi! My job doesn't allow me the time (or liberty) I'd like to for sharing, and I'm a bit jealous of your contributions. Quote
crelf Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 ...to celebrate my LAVA birthday I subscribed to LAVA premium mebership to support this great forum! Happy LAVA-brithday Tomi! That an excellent present you've given youself! You deserve it Quote
Tomi Maila Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks guys! Ben noted out a problem in my birthday cake VI in the community nugget thread, I'll have to fix it. Tomi Quote
Jim Kring Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Tomi, Happy anniversary. You've made many great contributions to the LAVA community this past year and you are a very important part of this community. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Quote
Yair Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 I'll be sure to shout you my congratulations when you whoosh past me. (Is he really only 60 posts behind me??? I guess knowing a thing or two about the computer science side of OO helps...) BTW, why jimi? Quote

I don't have earlier versions of LabVIEW installed on this computer. Congrats, Tomi! Very nice cake, I hope you don't mind if I did some changes to it: It now remembers the notifiers from call to call, so that requesting 1 occurrence at the time, does not require recursive call unless there are no more occ. in buffer. It doesn't close opened VI-references to allow for occurrences to stay active. When requesting more occurences than available, the recursive call requests complete buffers only, i.e. avoiding nested calls as I think that is slower.

Jim Kring Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Thanks guys! Ben noted out a problem in my birthday cake VI in the community nugget thread, I'll have to fix it.Tomi Tomi, By the way, there is a way to create an destroy occurrences by calling into LabVIEW directly. See my posting, here, on the community nugget thread that you mentioned. Thanks, Quote
Tomi Maila Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Posted January 31, 2007 Tomi,By the way, there is a way to create an destroy occurrences by calling into LabVIEW directly. See my posting, here, on the community nugget thread that you mentioned. Thanks, An excellent idea Jim! I took a liberty to modify your library a little. I posted the modifications to the thread you referred. p.s. I assume you accidentally refer to SciWare in your BSD license as I assume you wrote those specific VIs by yourself alone. I added my own name to the modified version. Quote

I assume you accidentally refer to SciWare in your BSD license as I assume you wrote those specific VIs by yourself alone. I added my own name to the modified version. Thanks. Yes, the reference to SciWare was a goof up (license notice copy-paste error). But Kurt's a great guy, so there's no harm in giving SciWare a shout-out Also, I was thinking that it might be a good idea to add these VIs to the OpenG toolkit. It seems that several people found the idea of dynamically created occurrences to be of interest. Quote

Jim Kring Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Sounds good to me, would you create a package. I really don't know how. Tomi, Yes, I would create a package file. I was thinking of also adding the Occurrences palette as a subpalette to this library's palette (for easy access). I'll get the basic project structure in place for this package (with the necessary build scripts) and then I'll let you jump in and help with the final touches -- unit testing, etc (if you're interested). Cheers, -Jim PS - who's Jimi? Quote

Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Jim, Thank you very much for your reply to my Nugget thread. That took the whole Q factor up an order of magnitude. Ben Quote
Jim Kring Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Jim,Thank you very much for your reply to my Nugget thread. That took the whole Q factor up an order of magnitude. Ben Ben, Thanks for the kind words and you're very welcome. But, I must confess that I the real reason I was lurking in the forums at ni.com, yesterday, was because LAVA was down and I was going through some serious withdrawals Happy to contribute, -Jim Quote
