Are you saying that your double post, while correctly getting your message accross was unneccessarily complex? And that happened in the RG thread?  Hmmm.

Just found one in somebody asking for a down conversion: http://forums.ni.com/t5/Version-Conversion/convert-LabVIEW-2013-to-LabVIEW-2014/m-p/3088832/highligh...

We could do it all with a single node...

@crossrulz,

I honestly did NOT know you could do that with the max min node.

I can go home now, I've already learned something today....

I'll admit that I didn't know it did either.  I just assumed it did and tried it.

By now I'm so used to LV's widespread polymorphism with certain types of functions, that I'm usually only surprised when I try something like this and it doesn't work.

No THAT is what I like to see....

No-one knew it was a Rube, but Tim assumed it was and tried for a better approach which succeded! NI don't get that far ahead of everyone that often - do they!
