i need to ask questions

  i completed with the  labview basics I , i am getting bored of reading the basic instead please suggest me any way so that i can practise labview basics II .

It is very difficult to learn Labview by reading about it only. Although reading is good for some basic skills. Nothing can replace real world programming experience. With real programming projects(and real world problems), and tricky customers demands. I see you are a NI employee. So this may perhaps be difficult. But the more hands on experience you got, the more you learn

What worked for me was to come up with an idea that I (in this case YOU) want and then DO IT!.

Make sure the "project" is not simple and actually does something that you want. I'll skip what motivated me (since decoding the error logs from mainframes OS is not very popular these days) but what got my son going until his laptop died...

He re-wrote mortal combat so that he could import images (jpg's) of himself and his buddies in all of the classic positions (Throwing fire ball, taking a hit, mortality etc.). After the import he and his buddies could slug it out virtually. He reported his friends loved it.

SO figure out what YOU WANT and just DO IT!

Get stuck along the way?

If you are done with (or bored with) the basics, my advice is to get a piece of hardware and start talking to it. Something like a simple, cheap RS-232 (or USB) controlled relay board with an LED on it is perfect. Write programs that toggle the relay/led based on user input, events, etc.

Also, going forward from basics, get comfortable with Queues, Notifiers, Producer/Consumer loop archetecture, State Machines, and enums. Learn to Type Def stuff. Keep it modular. Avoid global variables and sequences!

have fun.

Another good way: answer questions on this forum.  Or, try to come up with the solution without looking at the solutions, and see where yours match/differ from the posted solutions.

I would like to strongly second Ben's recommendation.  I learned LabVIEW by doing something (in my case, acquiriing data from a position sensitive photodiode to characterize galvo scanner response).  I learn something new almost every time I do a new project, and I have been doing this since LabVIEW 3.0.  Find something you like and write LabVIEW code to do it.  I still do this fairly often.  It is a good way to stay on top of new LabVIEW features before trying to use them in a shipping product.

I would recommend you learn the proper use of design patterns as you go.  This will save you many hours of experimentation/misery.

Feel free to contact me internally if you would like a mentor (Damien Gray by internal mail).

I have data files(images): 2 32-bit numbers followed by sequential 16 bits binary numbers.

Now I want to convert it to other format files(such as tiff, jpg, txt  and so on)  which can be open by other software?

How to do it? By the way, attached is a file with an .bis extension.

Thanks,

Peter

Your attachment did not make it and you really need to start a new thread since this is totally off topic and the original thread has been marked as 'Solved'.

Please do not hijack a completely unrelated thread that's essentially closed.

Start a new thread with your question - you will likely get more people to see the question.
