Max & Min with Array

[BowenM]

I recently posted this to a different thread, but figured I'd contribute.

Annotations are by default yellow in color - which is almost impossible to see on silver graph controls.

The solution is to grab the "Shortcut Menu Selection (App)" event, and set the color.

Note: This needs to be the "Shortcut Menu Selection (App)" event, and NOT the "Shortcut Menu Selection? (App)" event.

Using the negate is better than simply dividing by minus two....

Though the best from a performance standpoint is multiplying with -0.5 (or arithmetic bitshift 1 right and negate).

Apparently, nobody knew that Max & Min will accept arrays...http://forums.ni.com/t5/BreakPoint/Rube-Goldberg-Code/m-p/3088913#M26540

You can make a copy of your LabVIEW project and preserve the file structure by going to the project explorer and clicking File >> Save For Previous Version... You don't have to down-convert it, you can save for the same version of LabVIEW you are using. I use this when I have developed something on my machine and want to copy it somewhere on the network, or to a separate folder that I can zip up and send to someone. 

You can also create a zip right away by creating a new Build Specification.

You can create a named range in an Excel File by clicking on the cell, highlighting the address, and typing in the name you desire (for example 'date'). You will feed this Excel file in as the "template" of your new report. Now, when writing to Excel using the Report Generation Toolkit you can refer to this name rather than the cell address, making the code quite readable.

You can add the following parameter to the Application Ini-File.
After that the VI-Server communication via tcp will the logged in the desired file.

Hi all,

Didn't knew about this forum. 

I created a VI package which allow developer to quickly document ate VIs with a quick drop shortcut

It saves me lot of time everyday. Combine with LMH toolbox front panel clean up, you will made a very neat code.

Hi all

When you're installing MakerHub toolbox from VIPM, it adds a new quickdrop shortcut very useful. The Front panel clean up.

Demonstration:

I made a new VI and add some controls and displays. link terminal on the connector pane.

Then I use the quick drop shotcut. ctrl+space then ctrl+"something".

And tada

A clean FP.

MakerHUB Website

I use it everyday!

I use the front panel clean up tool everyday too but I didn't get mine from the Maker Hub, I got it from this community page.

https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-13623

Here is the full list of other community quick drop tools:

https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/labview-apis?view=documents

The other ones I use daily are the open VI location quick drop which opens an explorer window where the file is saved, or copies the path to the clipboard.  The paste clipboard into arrays is a useful one I don't use daily but definitely saves time.

I've also created a tool to do this found on the LAVA CR

https://lavag.org/files/file/128-fp-subvi-fixer-ver-6-lv-2009/

In additon to FP to pattern allignment the tool also places labels, brings up the description editor and calls the icon editor.

I've  also created  a few of videos showing how it works.
