The What, Why, and How of a Network Connection Manager

[NIWeekContent]

Learn what a network connection manager is, why you need one in your system, and how you can construct it in LabVIEW. Also explore the technical details of the build up as well as connection protocols, management , and methods. Lastly, see how to use the API to integrate this into your own system.

Is there an estimation of when the code that was demo'd with this will be available?  I would even be happy with the incomplete version that was presented at NIWeek.

Thanks

Bueller?.......Bueller?......Bueller?  Or I guess that might should be Bailey?.....Bailey?......Bailery?

I took Mike's class at NIWeek and really liked this API.  Is there a way to get a copy of the code? even a prelim version?

Here is the code, I have been out of the office and then rebuilding my machine, so my apologies

[Wire_Warrior]

Thanks Mike.  No problem.  I do understand especially the machine rebuild.  Those always seem to come at the worst time.

Mike,

When I tried to open the network connection manager there was a missing VI.  It was hunting the "Serialise Connection.vi" in the folders.  I did not find it in the folder structure.  I also didn't see a lvproj file.  Did you have one?   Not necessary just expected it.

The Serialise Connection VI is now in the ZIP file. Sorry

[Wire_Warrior]

Thanks Mike.

Well here I am again causing trouble.  I was working with the API this morning and created a LabVIEW project file to help my understanding of the API.  When I did that the dependencies gave the following list of files as missing when I tried to load it:

bool2str.vi

New Blue OOPSS.lvclass

New Colour OOPSS.lvclass

New Error OOPSS.lvclass

New Green OOPSS.lvclass

New Message OOPSS.lvclass

New Red OOPSS.lvclass

New Stop OOPSS.lvclass

Return Dbl Array Class.lvclass

Return Message OOPSS.lvclass

de-serialise class.vi

de-serialise return class.vi

Green Control.ctl

Blue Control.ctl

Red Control.ctl

View Events.ctl

Also the VI, manager1.vi, has an unwired bundle by name terminal.  I think I can see the proper wiring but it would be nice to know the intended wiring.

Thanks

For some reason those files were dependencies under vi.lib. Now they are not and in the new zip file.

Sorry

Mike
