Jim Kring Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Don't forget about the LabVIEW 8.5 Portal and especially New Features in 8.5. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Tomi Maila Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 It seems it's official now. I posted a blog post to list the most important new features in LabVIEW 8.5. Quote Link to comment

If so, anything "interesting" in that process, or should I just take the plunge? I've installed it now with no problems. I don't think their activation server is ready for 8.5 yet though. It didn't like my serial number when I tried to activate automatically, and the website version drop-down only had 8.0 and 8.2 in it, so I'm currently running in evaluation mode.

Instead of using a while loop that breaks out when the count > x or test=true, you use a for loop of x that can break out early if test = true. Slightly easier on the brain and apparently makes the vi code smaller. Quote Link to comment

The For Loop executes N times and the While Loop executes N+1 times when not stopped by the VI output Quote Link to comment

We need to decrement the array size before we enter the loop (which make the code even more complicated!). Then again, maybe I'm missing something. Ben Quote Link to comment

I focused on the logic of the "not and" because that was completely different than the gate sequence I would've chosen, so I thought the bug you were seeing was there. I didn't even check the "off by one" problem. Quote Link to comment
