Justin Goeres Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 LabVIEW made an appearance on last night's (5 Dec 07) new episode of Mythbusters!!! The main show topic was Confederate Steam Gun. The secondary plot (the one with Kari , Grant, & Tory) involved trying to fool a lie detector. They visited the Medical University of South Carolina to learn about lie-detecting fMRI technologies. Anyway, they showed a screenshot of a data collection program running on one of the lab PCs, and the LabVIEW front panel of the DAQ app was clearly visible. The first shot of it (according to my TiVo) is 39 minutes in, but they show it several more times after that. :thumbup: The UI could use a bit of work . Quote Link to comment
Norm Kirchner Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Dangit, I thought you were going to say that the MythBusters Crew was using it in their own tests. I was going to put out a challenge to see how many of us could get resumes into them and see who could get hired for their mad LV skills Quote Link to comment

Yeah, and I had hoped they were actually going to do something with it, but they really didn't. It looks like the lab they were at just uses it to collect data, and then does the analysis offline with a different piece of software. Quote Link to comment
Michael Aivaliotis Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 On a side note, can you do an image capture from your TiVo? Just curious. Quote Link to comment

Just curious. Not easily. You can do things like transfer video off of it to a computer, though, and then the sky's the limit.

Norm Kirchner Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I'm sure that 'Acquire Data' was a recent addition. Well at least the run continuously button isn't used. Quote Link to comment
