When I write crappy C# code, I don't blame C#. When you write crappy #LabVIEW code, please stop blaming #LabVIEW.

.@vipm One of my favorite tools for the #LabVIEW commununity is the VI Package Mananager.

It's a subtle spelling mistake, probably due to the language difference. One of my favorite features of the VI Package Mañanager is the fact that I can always put off my #LabVIEW work until tomorrow.

When you find yourself updating a VI conpane to 8x6x6x8, it's time to spend the rest of the afternoon refactoring. #LabVIEW

I reminded a colleague today about a useful characteristic of #LabVIEW classes. A child class can contain a parent class object in its member data. This can be useful when writing class-based parsers and other functions that might require recursion.

I made an incorrect assumption when writing this #LabVIEW code. Without any context, can you guess what assumption I made, and how I fixed the issue?

Lots of good guesses. Dr. Thomas was correct. I erroneously assumed the 'N' terminal was a pass-through, but the inner terminal returns the actual number of iterations. In my case, I needed the value wired to the 'N' on the outside.

A rare #LabVIEW stacked shift register sighting in the wild. I have an arbitrarily nested diagram object, I know it lives in a Case Structure, and I want the case frame that contains the object.

Darren's Occasional Nugget 10/26/2022

Many, many years ago I posted a nugget about some custom probes I wrote and published to ni.com called History Probes, which are a super useful debugging tool for browsing all the values that have...

It is not straightforward to get Excel data (.xlsx) into #LabVIEW. Until now. I made it straightforward. Just one VI is all you need. No Excel required. forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Dar…

Darren's Occasional Nugget 09/26/2022

It's fairly common for LabVIEW programmers to need Excel data (.xlsx files) in LabVIEW. There are multiple ways to do this, but most of them have caveats...   1) "You can do it with such-and-such...

Reminder: A few years ago I wrote this #LabVIEW VI that you can drop into your code if you ever need a Quick Drop-like selection UI in your LabVIEW application. forums.ni.com/t5/Community-D…

Quick Drop UI

This VI implements a floating window similar to the Quick Drop UI where you can pass an array of strings, and allow the user to filter the list and select an item by either (1) pressing Enter or (2)...
