NO SCXI+DAQmx was: Software bug with NI-DAQmx 7.1, 7.2 SCXI 1125-SCXI 1313

PNeville,/P PI just tried to do an SCXI strain gauge project with DAQmx and the most recent drivers and also had horrible experiences. I don't think the addressing of SCXI modules and channels is right. After my customer and NI didn't have any luck at it, I had to make an emergency plane trip

Well for Greg it is easy. He is one of the core LabVIEW developers and although he doesn't know every detail from his head, he can go and look in the sources, if he needs to. For me it is just 12 years of working with LabVIEW and having read a lot on Info-LabVIEW, as well as having done

I'm trying to do the same thing with a progress bar. The closest I have come to increase/decrease control of the bar is to use a variable. Right click on the variable name and select the desired indicator. Feed the variable the data and the progress bar will follow. The indicator does

In the VI Properties (right click on the icon and select VI Properties . .), on the Catagories dropdown list, select Window Appearance. Choose Customize then un-check the option Allow run-time shortcut menus. That should do it for you. Tim

The reason I chose this way (other than not knowing another way) was that I wanted to increase the value in the progress bar for 1 case statement and decrease it for another. I have a while loop with a shift register that is used to increment the progress bar in 1 case, and in the other I

How come NI did not address this issue yet?! They got to have a universal GetTypeofVariant thing somehwere there, I am pretty sure. In plenty of cases, variants can only have a few types. It is pretty easy to cast them to the various types to see which succeeds and which fails. In those

I want to disable the right-click of my mouse while my Labview app is running. Anyone have a solution for this? For each panel you want this done for, open VI Properties and change the ring to Window Appearance. Hit customize and in the lower right is an option for runtime shortcut menus.

What I mean to say is the use of time is inconsistant. Trying to put time on the x-axis of a chart is terrifying. XY chart is pretty easy and intuitive. Measurement Studio and VB is intuitive. The realtime.vi is a help but what happens when your data is coming in at irregular intervals.
