Product suggestion: auto mode selection when replacing boolean operator with compound arithmetic operator

[Neil.Pate]

A quick suggestion (I am not sure where to post this).

Wouldn't it be great if when replacing a boolean operation i.e. AND with its compound arithmetic equivalent (to add and extra input for example), the compound arithmetic could default to the correct mode. (It seems to default to OR)

I have never learned the arcane boolean symbols for AND and OR etc, I always have to go and double check to mode when dropping it down onto the block diagram.

Yes that would be a nice feature.  I just tried it and when replacing a standard AND, the compound function becomes an OR.  Labview should recognize what it is replacing and auto choose the correct function.  To help you remember the symbols, the AND symbol is like the letter A, pointing upward.

While you would hope that NI follows the forums and picks up product suggestions by reading them, usually someone comes on and recommends that it be submitted to the product suggesion webpage.  Today, I'll let that person be me.    http://digital.ni.com/applications/psc.nsf/default?OpenForm

What you're asking makes perfect sense, so please go ahead and submit it.

Thanks for the link Ravens Fan

I have submitted the suggestion, now lets see if it makes it into the next revision

Yeah I suppose I should try and memorise them. I can remember the AND, but its the others I struggle with...
