LabVIEW Typing Tutor Example Code

[ShotSimon]

I was wondering if anyone has the framework for a typing tutor designed in LabVIEW.  I've been playing with Mavis Beacon, and another freebie TypeFaster.  When it comes to tracking progress neither one of them give me the details that I would like to see.  Regards, -SS

"Typing Tutor "

NO

"Quick-Drop Tutor"*

Yes.

If you have LV 8.5 I could post it up.

* Quick-Drop Tutor is code I developed to train myself to quickly nter the short-cuts I have defined for QD. It comes in two flavors. The text version will read the short-cuts defined in your LV ini file and will quiz and time you on how quickly and accuratley you respond. The Graphic version only support a limited sub-set (can be expanded) of operators. it will display a "flash card" containing the operator's image and text you on that.

I need to read my release notes:)  I didn't even know about Quick-Drop. 

I have LV8.6 so I should be OK.  Sounds very cool,  -SS

Here you go!

1) Unzip someplace safe.

2) Open and run "QD_Tutor.vi" to test yourself on your short-cuts.

To use my short cuts and teh graphic version

3) With LV closed copy the context of "SortCuts.txt" to your LabVIEW ini file.

4) Start LV then open and run "QD_Tutor_Graphic".

It wil look up the image of the short-cut display same and watch your key-strokes.

NOTE:

 This tutor does NOT look for the ctrl-space but only looks for the keys that match the short-cut.

It's been a while since I ran this (normal coding is refresher enough) but I think I was down to about 2 minutes for about 50 short-cuts. I am sure you "younguns" can beat my score.

PS: Plese feel free to modify that code any way you want but if you make it better, please post your improvements.
