Yes Ray,

It is "Also known as" from wikipedia

Thanks for the info

I was using the silent 'n' version

Dear Norbert B,

---

@Patha: WEQ is a definition also made by Altenbach and stands for "Wire Equivalent Code" See message 16 (page 1) of this nice thread 🙂

---

Nice to call as patha rather than partha. ha ha ha

---

 " See message 16 (page 1) of this nice thread 🙂

And offcourse it is page no 2 and not 1.

Mathan,

well, i don't quite get the point of my miswriting of "Partha"... i suspect you are refering to this.

And, of course it's page 1 if you didn't stick with the stupid initial setting of this board. I changed my settings to list 25 messages per page, so this thread takes an overall of 11 pages for all those 254 messages. You can change that on your in the preferences of your profile in the section "Linear Format Settings"....

hope this helps,
Norbert

OK, guys!

At one point in the distant past this thread was a collection of Rube Goldberg Code. Can we try to keep it that way???

I am all for endless discussions of acronyms and movie sequels, but maybe there should be a seperate thread for all this. 🙂

Thanks!

Here, here! Thank you for bringing some sanity back to this thread.

Now, let's see some code!

Look at the true case in the VI posted here.

And another nice Goldberg found in this thread

I was wondering if this the attached image is a Goldberg.  I think it might be because the global of an indicator is wired when the indicator is right next to it.  The only reason I hesitate is because I found this in an Express VI (hope its not bad to post this part it).  And there is nothing in the False case of the if loop.

Is it a Goldberg?

Here is the code:

This indicator is actually used to hold the data so that when you open the express VI again you will immediately see the previous data. It is possible that the local was used in an attempt to load the front panel into memory, but that would be useless, since locals don't do that. I suppose it's also possible that the local serves some need in the process of creating the display VI, but if it does, that need is not documented in this code and that's a bit of a Goldberg.
