Valentine's Flowers..... best way to solve this challenge (problem?) with LabVIEW?

[Oli_Wachno]

To all of you suffering from similar problems

So it's Valentine's Day today... another occassion to buy her flowers... lucky enough I did not forget, the question is what to buy?
As a LabVIEW programmer, I can see some possibilites...

• Buy her "just" roses --> Array of roses, good start, but variety is missing...
• A cluster of flowers? More Variety, I could add an array of roses, and some further arrays/ flowers....
• An array of clusters consiting of different flowers? Also Variety but better managability....

But I think I'll do a typedef of a rather small cluster and have an array of those typedef'ed clusters.I don't know about memory consumption, but once typedef'ed, I have the maximum amount of reusability: if she likes them, I can just use the cluster next time, and if she doesn't I can exchange some cluster members and have the whole bouquet updatetd at once 😉

Can someone post the excuses? In case someone forgets nevertheless

Have a nice day!

... and if you intend to use a constant type def and want to to pass anything other than the default to the entity you are calling, ...

do not change the default but use a bundle by name to avoid issue with the defaults being restored when the definition changes.

There is nothing that will bite you faster than presenting a default when something special is called for.

Yes, Ben, you're damned right! There is a lot of wisdom in your words!
