I am always getting criticized for using complex numbers when dealing with simple 2D geometries. But look at the difference! (seen here)

(No FOR loop, no formula node, no squares, no square roots, no bundle, etc...) 😄

Once again you've simplified the code by making it complex! I think this phenomena should be called "altenbach's paradox".

Is it really that more complex?  If you understand trig, it isn't really that more complex.  Though, that could be my Electrical Engineering coming into play where we use complex numbers all the time (for AC circuits).  However, if you ever do perform simplification using complex numbers, please use comments explaining it since it is obvious that a lot of people don't quite understand it.

I guess my pun was a bit vague.

Simplified with complex numbers... get it?

Maybe it's just my nutty brain that found that amusing.

You garnered a titter from me at least!

While we are on the topic of when to use CDB data type to simplify code (As opposed to missusing Dynamic Data Type  and "merge signals" no less!)

I had to follow Christian's exellent example here

Spoiler

Snippet's would be a wast of time with the missing typedefs and lack of means to simulate the actual signal so... if you're interested go look for yourself.  sorry

Ok - I will admit that this is horrible.

This is my code and it makes me sick. I'm sure it's a Rube but I can't for the life of me work out how to un-Rube it.

10 functions all identical all doing COMs with 10 different Instruments of the same type. Need to run as fast as possible and probably have limited memory due to complex maths funtions taking place elsewhere on arrays.

(SubVI and all subfunctions are re-entrant to ensure parallelism)

Surely this is a rube - any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks

James

What if you would use an autoindexing parallel FOR loop and configure it for 10 parallel instances? 

Do you have 10 different serial ports?

[James_W]

I do have 10 different serial ports - what is this

" autoindexing parallelFOR loop "

I think I am missing something here

Found it - thanks Genius!!
