I am trying to send emails from labview for notifications, but I have troubles because email anti-spam protections.

It would be better if labview creates a email notification server where you can send a web query, something like:

http:ni.com.notification+javier@company.com+ALERT:temperature over maximum!

then the ni server would send an email to javier@company.com with text: "ALERT:temperature over maximum!"

Also the service could send SMS to javier mobile with same text.

 

The advantage is that it would work easily in any computer without change in email,antiviruses or antispam configuration

For topics outside or perhaps off-topic from technical sessions, summits, keynotes. A way to enable "flash crowds" on topics of mutual interest. For those passionate about particular topic areas, but requiring dialogue, not just presentation.

 

Requirements:

(1) Mechanism for identifying BOFs

(2) Provision or selection of moderator

(3) Allocation of meeting space, time

(4) Place for posting schedule visibly for conference attendees

 

(Perhaps just me, but gathering at a topic table over lunch didn't work so well. Time already slotted for coordinating with my colleagues. Topics limited to number of tables allocated.)

 

Perhaps take a moment of keynote time while everyone's in the room to vet hot-topics.

Or arrange for selected BOFs beforehand based on hot topic areas of the forums.

Otherwise enable write-ins on physical bulletin boards or electronic social network nodes.

 

Saw the idea work very well at Colorado Software Summit Java conference convoked by Wayne Kovsky. He would be the ideal consultant for mechanics suggestions: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?viewMemberFeed=&gid=1083347&memberID=4008329&goback=%2Eanb_1083347_*2%2Egmp_1083347.

Hello,

We all have mobile phones that can communicate with PC easily and also almost all have embedded Bluetooth.

So if a PC don't have Bluetooth, can we utilize Bluetooth of a mobile phone to communicate through LabVIEW to another point.

At present, we can add users and permissions to NI auth in the system web server, but we cannot add groups.

There is no particular reason for this, as the help clearly implies that there should be a way to add groups:

If you ever want to add users that have more than four sets of permissions, you will start having to manually adjust those settings, which shouldn't be the case. We should be able to add groups, to prevent just this issue.

 

Right now, we can use the mass front panel binding tool to bind front panel items to shared variables--but we must have the shared variables in place already:

We can make a mass of variables using the batch variable creator, but they must be of the same type, and the name is not descriptive (Variable 0, 1, 2, 3...). You can also convert single controls or indicators into shared variables...

But every time you create one, it also creates an entirely new library, and you cant create multiple shared variables at once.

 

My suggestion is to let you create shared variables from the binding pages (both individual and mass):

I would also like to be able to drag controls from the front panel into your project to automatically create a shared variable to which they are bound (just as you can now drag shared variables onto your front panel to make a bound control).

Currently, if you want to programmatically bind HMI controls and indicators to network URL's you need to first set, at edit time, a fake

URL (example: \\192.168.0.3\cRIO-HPU\'PU.Accumulator_Dump_Valve') since the actual IP address may not be known at edit time.

If you leave the HMI 'unbinded' then the attempt to set the BindingPath properties will result in an error.

It would be nice if you had a generic option called 'late binding' that you could select with the expectation that the exact URL will be set

at runtime.  This would provide an additional benefit where the  PSP driver could wait for a BindingPath to be set before attempting

the first transaction.

The Vision Acquisition Software seems to send all GigE attributes to the camera that have been set in the camera file. There should be an option to select which attributes are sent to the camera when connecting. This would allow the settings configured through vendor specific third party tools to persist when acquiring in MAX or LabVIEW.

 

This could possibly also alleviate the "Attribute value is out of range" error if MAX is only sending the attributes you specify.

Most of the OPC traffic is "non-interesting" regular traffic. But if there is an error it is a very interesting information. There should be an option to log only OPC traffic erros to log file. Nowadays these errors are marked in red color in log file. Of course it should be a possible to log all traffic as it is nowadays.
