I'm sure you meant "Nice Guy"

We should get back to topic... Rube Goldberg code.  🙂

I got this one today from a customers vendor!

It is the equivalent of a text and ring indicator! 

I have to admit though- I've never seen a transparent tab control before.

Wow, what a code monster. You might want to resize the FP so the next button actually shows. "As is", the program cannot be operated or stopped in any obvious way once it's run.

I thought it was just me that I couldn't find the Next button.

How did they come up with that icon.  What a blobby mess.  It kind of looks like the way TV's are now that they have "improved" them to be all digitally broadcast.

I was amazed as well!  My favorite WTF is still the ICON! I intentionally left everything except the photos vi name and text EXACTLY as published in the original (rev 335 ) that I recieved to increase your joy!  My hair stood on end when I opened the vi

Maybe you should track down the other 334 revision and make them into a sequential movie to be posted on youtube. 😄

I think that might actually cause death from ruptured solar-plexus(s) (-plexi?)

Sometimes we don't even need to see the diagram to tells it's Rube Goldberg code.

I must say, the detour via arrays, DBLs and Clusters is very, (very!!!) scenic. 😄

Hi,

This is the data read from the buffer but displayed as Hex '0103 0427 D241 C1A1 7E'. I'm currently using:

1) a 'String to Byte Array' then

2) push it through a 'To Double Precision Float' then

3) go through two 'Array Subset' to pull the data that I wanted (which is really 27D2 and 41C1) then

4) convert each array to cluster and extract each element, after that

5) need to calculate/convert the data that I wanted to a float.

41C1 is the high word and 27D2 is the low word.

Suppose to use the high and low word to get the SIGN, EXPONENT and MANTISSA and use those to calculate the float which in this case should be 24.14444351.

I know this is really a very long process but I have not figured out the easy way yet.
