Guinea Pig VIs for NIWeek Session

[Greg_McKaskle2]

We have been asked to repeat the NIWeek session -- The Good, the Bad,
and the Ugly.

Basically it is the review and attempted improvement of LV diagram code
by a member of the LV development team. The presentation is typically a
slide or two of overview for an application, then jumping into LV to
look at the before and after code. The audience members get into the
act as well, and hopefully everyone learns something in the process.

To do this requires VIs that someone is willing to offer up for review
-- we call them our guinea pigs. We will remove the hints about
ownership and will keep everything anonymous.

If you have an application that you wish had turned out better, maybe
its performance was less than you'd hoped, maybe t
he UI is a bit homely,
perhaps there were features you wanted to add that seemed impossible or
really hard to do in LV. You can send the VIs directly to me using the
address Greg.McKaskle at ni.com along with a descriptive email of what
the app did, what it didn't do, what was hard, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Greg,

Most of the applications I've written have turned out less then I
anticipated (they're still ok, imho)... Is there a maximum size of the
application? (Would 600 vi be too much?)

Is it a good idea to do an improvement session in the newsgroup? NIWeek is
just too far away for me.

Regards,

Wiebe.

I guess 600 is OK if you can break things up and get it to me in emails.
Otherwise we can do it through an ftp site. As for doing it across
this list, it will be somewhat limited in bandwidth compared to an
interactive demo, but if your guinea pig is chosen I'll figure out
something. Of course it won't be very anonymous if only one is done
here, and you are the only one that asks for it.

Anyway, we would gladly accept your app, especially if you can be

specific about any problems you ran across. And after NIWeek, I think
the slides are usually available on the ni web site too.

I sent in a huge DSC application in response to a posting for the DSC group. The link should get you to the files I submitted. It was my first experience with Labview, so there should be a bunch of code improvements in this one. It was a real battle to get high speed DSC communication with OPC servers and plc's.
