Q11 is correct as D for the reasons you gave Good Work!
Q34 the answer is A: B is false as a scale applies to a channel and a task can call many scales, C is false since the channels must have the SAME not "Similar" timing
Q38 is open for debate and is a bad question. "Main Disadvantage(s)" is semantically inconsistant and NONE of the answers hints at the lack of data flow between the case structures hence, they will fire in any order (just plain bad) AND, no answer exposes the lack of error handleing. However, as A & B are patently FALSE, D is also False so the most correct answer is C
Q10. The correct answer is "E. Both A & C"- try A B & C on your machine
Q9. why the uncertainty? Of course you wire ONLY the data you need into any structure.
Fairly good- When is your test scheduled?

Preparing for CLAD exam with LV Basics I and II

Hi
This is my first post, so I want to say hello to all the users. I am currently preparing for CLAD exam. I participate in a course containing material from Core 1 and Core 2. I also have a CBT Labview Basics I and II kit. Does this CBT kit still cover all topics needed to pass this exam? It says that it`s almost 6 years old, so I want to ensure that it`s still worth of using it. Thanks for all the answers.

Another couple things to add. I posted this comment a little while ago which reiterates what ajmartin said: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Do-I-need-Core-3-to-do-CLAD-exam/m-p/1402686#M546312
"Also be aware, I've spoken to quite a few CLAD exam takers in the last year and they all agree that the current CLAD exams are much harder and trickier than the sample exams here on ni.com. One taker for instance missed only one question the first time he took the sample CLAD exam but failed the actual exam by a couple questions. So make sure you're overprepared!"
Someone on the NI community made a pretty comprehensive list of preparation materials here:
http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-14014
Additionally, quite often we work with preparing people for the CLAD exam so I made a video examining a very common type of CLAD question:

You can take a look at the notes there which have a few more links to CLAD preparation resources. I'll include this one where someone on the NI community made a pretty comprehensive list of preparation materials:

CLAD Sample Exam 1, question 2:

CLAD Sample Exam 1, question 2: can a wire be used to pass date between 2 llps that are intended to be runn in parallel? CLAD Sample exam1 provides the following url as an answer: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/9393 . This doesn’t explain the answer. Please provide a correct explanation.

ambiguous? Just because you intend for the loops to run in parallel doesn't mean they actually do it. BUT, the data will still be passed between the loops eventually, so technically, YES, a wire can be used. Why didn't the question just say: "two loops that ARE running in parallel"?
The wording actually seems to be pretty decent. Two loops cannot be running in parallel if there is a wire running between them. The situation you describe--where one loop stops, data is passed, then the other loop begins--does NOT describe two loops running in parallel, rather two loops running sequentially.
When the question says "intends", it asks you to play the part of the designer of the code: if you want to have data passed between two loops, how would you design that? The answer is certainly not a wire.
True, but the fact that we're even discussing the semantics proves that it's confusing. I'm sure NI has a tough time coming up with multiple CLAD versions covering essentially the same questions but those questions should be testing for knowledge of LabVIEW, not English Language. A test taker should be able to focus on the what a question is asking and not how it's being asked.

CLAD exam question for recent test takers

I have scheduled for a CLAD exam. I have been reading many questions posted on LAVA and NI forum, working on example exams but still not very confident. Especially, after seeing people saying the actual exam was much harder than the two sample exams on NI. I wonder if it is true for recent exam (Summer, Fall 2011)? If anyone who just took the test, please verify this information

As for that, I would like to add a question to this thread:
Am I able to recive any help on the exam if there are some words I don't understand? Like getting them translated for me or something?
I'm familiar with most of LabVIEW's terminology, but not all the other complex words used in the example exams.
Like this for an example:
The words I've marked is not trivial to me, and I'd might fail this type of question on the CLAD exam

Clad sample exam 1 question

Hi.
I noticed this question in the clad sample exam 1
Which of the following statements is FALSE?
a. A SubVI connector pane defines where to wire inputs and outputs
b. The color of a SubVI connector pane terminal matches the data type it is connected to
c. You must have an icon/connector pane to use a SubVI
d. A SubVI icon can be edited from the functions palette
In the answers it says D.
Wouldn't 'C' be the right answer ? I know that the icon is optional, but you must build the connector pane to use a sub vi.
Nevertheless, I found an invoke node (VI Icon -> Set from file/image data) that can edit the vi icon, therefore you could pick a vi server reference and an invoke node, all from the functions palette.
What do you guys think ?
Thanks.

Nope D is the correct answer.
For C, you must have a connector pane in a subVI. (Of course it is possible to have no terminals setup on it, or even no wires wired to it even if there are terminals set up.) Any every subVI has an icon, it is not optional. It might be the default icon from LabVIEW, or even a blank one, but it is always there.
For D, no you can't edit it from the functions palette. I had actually never come across that invoke node you mentioned. I don't think it is one that 99.9% of LV programmers would ever use. I'd argue that you aren't editing the icon with that from the palette. Yes you did grab it from a palette. But really it is just a way to programmatically set the icon, you're not actually doing any "editing" with it.

I have a question takig the CLAD test wed

A Waveform Cluseter contains each of the following elements. A. t0, dt, Y B. X, Y, dt C. X, Y, t0, D. none of the above. Chose A, B , C, or D please

Thanks people for your help. I do not how tgo use labview help, b ut not to answer these sorts of questions. Also, the test does not have questions on how to use labviuew help, from the examples i have seen.
So here is another, if someone could tell me how to use help top actaully find these answers that would be great. I do not think help is setup to answer test questions
here is anotrher
All of the following statements regarding SubVIs are true except.
A. They require less memory
B. They allow for easier debugging
C They allow yopu to use the same code for many future applications
D. All of the above are true.
I say answer is B makes debugging more difficult?

CLAD quiz question

How does changing a DAQ board from a 0-10 volt range to a -10 to 10 volt range, affect the minimum voltage change that can be detected?
A   There will be no effect on the minimum voltage change that can be detected.
B   The minimum voltage change that can be detected will be split in half.
C   The minimum voltage change that can be detected will depend inversely with the resolution of the board.
D   The minimum voltage change that can be detected will be doubled.
I think D???
From what I just read from the 3 hour intro lesson. There is resolution which is provides 2^(resolution) number of bits that represent a range of 0-10 volts or -10 to 10 volts. So if you increase range from 0-10 to -10-10 volts, it would take twice as many voltage change to be detected since 2^(resolution) sample bits now have to be more spread out   Am I right?

I agree.

CLAD Sample Exam -2 - Question 3

Anwer B and C are clearly wrong.
But I am not sure any of them are right but if any Answer D seems the nearest to being correct.
So why is A the correct answer, surely it's not during the execution of SubVi but the elased time of the execution of SubVi

Functional Global Variable in the CLAD sample Exam

Hello,
A question in the CLAD sample exam #2 keeps puzzling me. It's question number 32 about FGVs:
32. Which is not an important part of creating a Functional Global Variable?
a. Using Shift Registers to store information
b. Changing the VI’s execution settings to Reentrant
c. Setting the VI to inline into calling VIs
d. Setting the While Loop to stop after one iteration
The answer given is the following
32.Correct Answer: B
Topic: Functional Global Variables
Justification: It is not necessary to inline functional global variables into their calling VIs. In fact, inlining requires that the subVI be reentrant, which is forbidden for functional global variables.
Clearly, for an FGV to work properly, the VI must NOT be reentrant. So I would have selected answer B, but the justification seems to clearly point to answer C as well, doesn't it? Is it a typo, a subtlety in the wording? I am stuck on this one!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, inlining requires reentrant. Therefore, the best answer should technically be C. This looks like one of those rejected/retired questions since it isn't quite right and/or left up to too much interpretation.

[CLAD] Auto-indexing

Dear all,
In one of the CLAD sample exams the question is as follows:
Auto-indexing at loop boundary is a feature that allows: (more than one answer may apply)
a. Arrays to be automatically traversed from one iteration to the next
b. Array functions to automatically index array elements
c. Functions that use arrays to automatically index them
d. Arrays to be automatically accumulated at loop boundaries
I thought B and D are correct, however according to the sample exam the correct answers are A and D. The justification given is "Auto-indexing is a feature for loops interacting with arrays. Array functions themselves do not have iterative auto-indexing features.". I thought A relates to shift registers?
Thank you in advance

Jeff·Þ·Bohrer wrote:
While a bit missleading in wording A is correct Auto indexing input tunnels traverses the row index of an array such that row i is on the wire inside the loop. Shift registers and feedback nodes cannot auto index. Those nodes pass data between loop iterations
I have to disagree with you Jeff. The sentence says traverse arrays from one iteration to the next. The arrays are not being passed on to the next iteration. The rows are being indexed, not moved on to the next iteration.

CLAD sample exam - windows dialog button mimic

Hello,
While preparing for the CLAD exam, I don't seem to agree with the given answer:
What mechanical action of a Boolean would you use to mimic a button on a Windows dialog?
The given answer is "Switch When Released".
Maybe it depends on which button, but when I think about a typical Cancel or OK button, the action happens after releasing, so I would think it is "Latch When Released".
Am I alone in this opinion?
Stijn

It's kind of a trciky question and it depends on the programmer. I think I understand why it could be argued to be switched when released.
Typically, when you press a button on a dialog box, the button stays pressed until the appropriate action completes. For example, if you hit an Apply button, the dialog box completes all actions associated with the Apply button, then resets the button to the off state.
Depending on how you write your program, you can have the same behavior accomplished with a latch button as well. You just have to read the control until after you have finished your actions. In some cases, it may be quite simple, but in others, it may be more difficult if you go through several states before the action is complete. But, it is possible to get the same behavior out of both.
I think a lot of us have been programmed that locals are bad, so manually resetting the switch is bad. It doesn't help that NI also has the buttons on the control pallette setup to latch when released either. You would think that if switched when released is the correct answer, that NI would have their OK and Cancle buttons behave in that manner.

Qucik Graph Cursor Legend Questions

Hi all,
I have a couple of quick questions regarding my graph cursor legend:
1. Is it possible to move the position of the cursor legend during runtime? I cannot seem to drag it around the graph?
2. Can I hide/remove the cursor mover? This is not needed and is for this vi as I need to be able to manually drag the cursors only.
I am accessing the cursor legend during runtime through a right-click and selecting "visable items:.
Thanks,
Jack

Hi please check Using Cursor Legend in this link if it is helpful

Sorry i don't know exact answer for questions, But did you try property node of Cursor.
-To access it, right click the graph indicator in Black Diagram and go to create>>Property Node>>Cursor.
-Lot of options regarding cursor available there, you can make selected property to write or change the parameter. and check this for help on cursor properties

Easy question - scroll bar position in listbox problem

hello again
this time my question is simple...
is there a way to set the initial position of a vertical scroll bar of a listbox?
sometimes - if i make more runnings - remain in memory the last position...and if the new listbox is smaller then the last one i see a white listbox and i think that something went wrong in my program

Hi gigi85,
Okay in that case,Please create property node with Multiple lines property, and click on the blue square shown in the diagram and expand it downwards, Labview should automatically add these parameters. added screenshot for your reference.
Let me know if u've any queries.
