VI High 19 - LabVIEW 2011 New Feature - How to Make Plots Visible on Charts and Graphs

Here is a quick and handy feature in LabVIEW 2011 that makes me smile every time I use it. Who wants their signal of interest buried in noise or under other signals? Not I. Now you can see those signals with a quick flick of the right-click.

VI High 18 - LabVIEW 2011 New Feature - Type Def Improvements

A couple improvements have made working with Type Defs easier, simpler, more straightforward, and other redundant terms. Join us as we take a look at how to take advantage of these changes.

So here's my Main, containing my Vat Data Type Def. If I go to the block diagram of main, here's my Type Def, and we see that in the upper left there's this little glyph. Just to make a point of it, I'll make a copy of this Type Def and disconnect it, so that this one has no glyph.

Additionally, another handy improvement in LabVIEW 2011 is the ability to create a Type Def from the block diagram. To demonstrate this, I'll quickly create another cluster on the block diagram, maybe with a numeric, a Boolean, and a string.

VI High 17 - LabVIEW 2011 New Feature - How to Use the Application Builder Clean Command

Sixclear, a National Instruments Alliance Partner based in Austin, Texas, releases a LabVIEW 2011 update for the Sixclear LabVIEW Fundamentals training course. LabVIEW 2011 has several notable features intended to promote usability and productivity for its users as well as enhance stability. As a LabVIEW training provider, Sixclear has evaluated those features that are most beneficial to its core market of trainees seeking to learn LabVIEW at the basic level. “The updates immediately went live back in August for our on-site, instructor led course as that didn’t require recording new videos. Now the updates are available to our online, video LabVIEW training course as well.” says Jassem Shahrani, Sixclear President. “Our vision is to ensure that LabVIEW training is as simple as and intuitive as LabVIEW itself. It’s pretty meta that way. So we have recorded videos of us demonstrating exactly how to take advantage of all the features pertinent to our Sixclear LabVIEW Fundamentals course and integrated them into the course curriculum, including the lectures, manuals, solution code, and solution videos.” Current users of Sixclear LabVIEW Fundamentals online will be able to access the updates with no additional charge. Shahrani explains that there’s no danger of being confused if you’re not using the most current version of LabVIEW as the course is organized so that users of different versions of LabVIEW can see the features specific to their version. “So you can train with older versions of LabVIEW like 2010, 2009, 8.6, 8.5, and all the way back to 8.2 with no problem.” Some notable features included in the LabVIEW 2011 update include:

-Enhancements to creating subVIs

-Type definition enhancements

-Changes to the error cluster when used as a While Loop stop condition

-The new Silver Palette

-Choosing which plots to view on a graph or chart

-Changes to the connector pane

-Deleting the build specification files with the clean command

VI High 16 - LabVIEW 2011 New Feature - How to Create a SubVI

We took a bit of a VI High summer vacation (stretching well into fall...) but we're back with several new, shorter videos on new features in LabVIEW 2011. Our first one has to do with the improvements in creating subVIs.
