Post an idea

This application is used to track the Position of the person in the mall as the GPS will not work nicely in Indoor Area it can be help with Inertial Navigation System since all the current mobile phones comes with accelerometer and Gyroscope which are the basic parameters for the INS to be added with the last GPS fix will give more or less accurate position and with the essence this can also be integrated with RTLS tags and Cell Locate Algorithm and A-GPS inbuilt

Iam looking for Labview support on this so as the application can be completed quickly

I will go straight and may litter bit offend the guys working on developing labview in NI, that since labview 2010, there is less and less suppresses brought to the labview coding folks. But also since labview 2010, I've been 'pleased' most is that ni recognized that 'user driven' is one of the most eye attractting futures labview can provide to the developers. Why not you guys go further, release the labview sdk and turn product labview to platform labview. Then fans and geeks can improve labview developing experience along with the employees at ni directly and efficiently.

Here is my reasons:

FOR US:

1. A powerful and convenient developing environment benefits both labview developers and NI.

FOR PEOPLE:

2. Not only normal engineers, but also professional software engineers choose labview as their developing tool. Trust me, current labview will drive them crazy, like me(three years "torching"). You can never control the threads or memory under the graphic programming concepts, though sometime it mattered.

3. There are so many ideas users want and sometime maybe they can realize it by themselves easily under the access to the labview sdk. Then new fractures can be shared, sold or contributed.

FOR THE ECOSYSTEM

4. We deserve an ecosystem for labview. Roles are like: labview market, developers, users, ni, etc.

Hello everybody!

There is a simple way to trigger linescan camera acquisiton controlled by an encoder, as is shown in LL Trigger Each Line From Encoder.vi example.

However, it is not possible to do it for frame cameras in a similar fashion.

Therefore I suggest that there is a way to configure "IMAQ Configure Trigger3.vi" in order to acquire a frame from a camera every N ticks from the encoder.

[idea thanks to a customer's request]

What do you think?

Have a great day!

I have an application that tests three products at a time. When a product is put on test, the user enters the serial number of the product, which pulls up the Excel datasheet for that product serial number.

The datasheet always comes up in the last saved location within the Excel window. I would like to control if this file appeared on the left side (where it currently is), center position, or right positon. Please see the attached screen shot.

It would be nice to force the datasheet to open in a certain location in the window.

Dionex Pump Driver

Accommodate C++ Class DLLs

I'd like to see something like a conditional disable structure that would be sensitive to fields in an .ini file at runtime, not compile time.

My problem is that I have an application that can access many different third party cameras. For this application to work every VI that accesses a camera specific .dll function must have assess to that .dll or I get a broken VI. When I compile the VI I have access to these .dlls but when I build an application.exe and distribute it I only want to distribute the .dlls for one of the cameras. If I could distribute a .ini file with the application.exe that indicated which camera the drivers were installed for then the application would disable the code for all the other cameras and the VI would not break.

Thank you,

Using the LabVIEW 2009 Build Spec (as an example) allows you to add a Destination to a Library which is very handy, as it means you can namespace VIs at build-time.

I would like to take this a step forward and then be able to set that new Library as a Sub-Library of another Library that already exists in the Project.

I would then want to be able to set the scope of this Sub-Library as well (relative to its now, Parent).

This combined with my Locking State Idea would allow be create a Distribution that would hide and protect a Support VI Library

As the Sub-Library would be Private Scoped (from above) and the Parent Library would be set Locked (does not show Private Members).

I currently can implement this using Scripting but it would be nice to have it native.

Cheers

Hi,

in LV2009 a new set of VIs have been published for working with configuration VIs. They are now part of config.lvlib. But some VIs of config.lvlib are marked private, therefore I cannot use these VIs as Sub-VIs, if the calling VI is not part of config.lvlib. This is bad (at least for me), since I have written some tools to load a configuration directly from a string and not from a file. To do this in LV2009, I need these private VIs, which I cannot use without changing config.lvlib.

Therefore I suggest to make all VIs of config.lvlib public. In fact, is there a good reason, why these are private in the first place?

Regards,

Marc

The Lego NXT software release (not toolkit) is a wonderful interactive environment, that should be provided as an add-on application

on its own, call it "block application builder". I see many useful applications in a variety of different industries where businesses wish to extend to their customers interactive and intuitive interface that they can program in their desired configuration of the product's behavior according to their own use cases.

That means we need an environment where we can prepackage blocks that is functionally specific to their applications, with ability to sequence them, run them in parallel, add conditional runs, and iterative loops. The blocks themselves could be computational in nature, or additionally provide user interface popups for interrogating the user, and have access to the full range of Labview functionality. Each block properties settings can appear as front panel settings for user to customize the behavior of that block. This is exactly how the

Log mindstorm software was configured, except we ask that you extend the availability of that functionality for the general users to develop their own intuitive applications using the same environment framework design. This application can target building the customer created sequence of operations as a windows .exe or .dll. We also would like to customize the menus in the application. In other words, make the Lego mindstorm application a generic template for us to develop our own applications with similar intuitive framework.
