LabVIEW Quick Tips

The LabVIEW Documentation team needs information about how you use the LabVIEW Quick Tips, which are included in the LabVIEW Help. The most recent version of the Quick Tips are at http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361A-01/TOC7.htm. The Quick Tips also are available in LabVIEW 6.0 and later by navigating to the LabVIEW Help and selecting Quick Tips in the contents pane.
1. How often do you use the LabVIEW Quick Tips?
a. All the time
b. Sometimes
c. Never
d. I didn't know that the LabVIEW Quick Tips existed.
2. Would the Quick Tips be more helpful if each tip was integrated into a relevant help topic?
3. If the Quick Tips are integrated into individual help topics, would you find it helpful for the tips to remain in their current state as a list of tips?
4. Is there any additional information not currently in the Quick Tips that would be helpful to you when using LabVIEW?

Yes
4. If the Quick Tips are integrated into individual help topics, would you find it helpful for the tips to remain in their current state as a list of tips?
Perhaps a subset of the list related to the topic
3. Is there any additional information not currently in the Quick Tips that would be helpful to you when using LabVIEW?
Not that I can think of
Quite a numbering scheme here: 1, 3, 4, 3.

Those are embedded in the LabVIEW resource files in the Resource directory
inside
of the LabVIEW directory. LabVIEW resource files are binary files with a
similar data
structure as the resource fork of Macintosh files. Although it's possible
to look into
these files with a hex editor for instance, it is hard to retrieve
information from them
and even harder to change anything inside of them.

Quick Tip at startup

Hello,
usually when you start up LabView (on Win) there is a window
showing a quick tip and buttons "New VI", "Open VI" etc.
This can be switched off such that an empty VI is presented
when LabView is launched. Now the question:
How do I get back to the old behaviour?
Thanks a lot for the help, Tobias

Quick Tip of the Week: Take a Quick Look at the files in Trash

I ran this Quick Tip which was emailed to me today, but noticed that the Quick Look icon demonstrated isn't on my Toolbar, instead there's something called a Path icon, and Finder>View>Customise Toolbar is greyed out, so I do not appear to be able to change it. Quick Look works when I press the space bar, so it is on my iMac.
Does anybody know why Quick Look isn't on the Toolbar, and how to change the Path icon for Quick Look?

To open a Finder window, click a clear space on your Desktop. You'll see the word Finder top left in your screen. You can press command Command N on your keyboard or use your mouse and from the Menu Bar (top of screen) click File/New Finder Window.
Migration Assistant will transfer all your files and important settings for you.
To see exactly which Mac OS version you are running, click the Apple logo top left in your screen, then click, "About This Mac". The version number will be displayed in that pane.

"Apple Quick Tip of the Week" podcast crashes AppleTV

I have iTunes set to download the Apple Quick Tip Of The Week (AQTOTW) podcasts, and then sync them to my AppleTV. Nearly every one of the AQTOTW podcasts that I play causes the AppleTV video to stutter and eventually, the white Apple logo appears. After a few seconds, I am seeing the main menu.
None of the other podcasts that I view on the AppleTV have this problem.
The software on the AppleTV is up to date. iTunes runs on a Macmini which is running Leopard (up to date as well).
The AQTOTW are very useful, how can I view them on the AppleTV?

There are a number of good hints in this post, many of which apply in Leopard.

Quick tip of the week

Hi All,
Have you noticed that the "quick tip of the week" on the apple.com/business/videotips page are done on machines running tiger. A number of them including some of those most recently added (e.g. "When a pdf is too big", and "zip up your files") seem not to be applicable in Leopard. I find this a bit weird. Come on apple get up to speed with Leopard please.
BTW anyone know how to shrink down the size of a pdf in Leopard?
Thanks

Quick tip - reducing PDF file size

My STANDARD menu for printing doesn't look anything like the one that is being used in the demo.
I do have the "cover & pages" part for *some documents*, but there is nothing there when I drop down concerning Color synching. I make a lot of PDF files and Sure would like to be able to reduce the size.
Where did the printing menu come from in the quick tip?

The problem with printing is cannot scan, and one printer PSC 1350 prints anything it wants with no relation to what I sent to the printer. the Business jet 1100 doesn't want to print anything. these are HP issues that are crippling my business.
I don't think there is a Leopard driver for the 1350, but you should check HP's site to make sure. There is an HP driver for the 1100. Are you using that driver? You can try deleting and re-adding the 1100 using the Leopard supplied HP driver.
there is no "compress PDF" box on my print menu under the PDF checkbox/ menu. at least on neither of my computers which both have leopard installed. this on the standard drop down menu. what print dialogue are U using.
I am using the standard print dialog. What menu items do you see under the PDF menu?

Can't Read NTFS External HDD after Quick Tip Execution

I've recently shifted from Windows to OS X - and I wanted to use my 1TB Seagate External to transfer data from my old laptop to my Macbook Pro. I was aware that OS X cannot write to an NTFS drive and hence I executed the Quick Tip from this article to try and by-pass this:
http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/quick-tip-how-to-write-to-ntfs-drives-in -os-x-mavericks--cms-21434
It worked like a charm for me a grand total of ONE TIMES. The next morning when I tried to re-connect my external, my Macbook can't seem to read the HDD anymore. Is there a way to fix this? If I go back to the Terminal and undo my previous changes, will that fix my problem or will that create more issues?
Please help - I can seem to access the External when i plug it to my old laptop, so thankfully it isn't corrupt or broken, but I want to be able to use it on my Mac too!

Do you think if I just upgraded to Yosemite this would solve itself?
I rather doubt it. That little tutorial has been posted here a number of times, too. I wouldn't recommend anyone using it. Especially not on a drive that has no backup of its contents.
You're in kind of a tight spot at the moment, being unable to copy everything off to the Windows laptop. Though technically, nothing on the external drive changed. The command you entered in Terminal changed OS X's behavior.
What I would do is this:
1) If the external drive is connected to the Mac and is on, dismount the drive and turn it off.
2) Use the Terminal command again to invoke the simple text editor nano and edit the file stab to remove the line you added. Basically, what you said above to undo the changes you made. Save the file and exit nano and then Terminal.
3) Restart the Mac.
When the desktop is back up, turn on the external drive. It should appear on the desktop in normal read only mode. If you prefer to leave the external drive as NTFS, use a commercial package to enable read/write access in OS X. It's only $20 for Paragon's NTFS software.

Source Safe causing LabVIEW Quick Start Screen to not appear after closing open vi windows?

Hey All,
We've recently implemented Source Safe version control for LabVIEW on XP and I've noticed that LabVIEW is hanging between closing open vi windows and showing the Quick Start Screen. The usual pattern is for the Quick Start window to appear after the last open vi window is closed. Instead the vi window is closed, the tab at the bottom of the screen says debug development and the Quick Start Screen does not appear, the tab does not read "Getting Started."
I think it is a LabVIEW <--> Source Safe issue when I do a Task Manager Exit on the LabVIEW process that I sometimes see a dialog box asking if I want to save changes in memory to disc and those files are not checked out. But it is too late at that point to do anything as XP clobbers the application before I can do anything.
Anyone else have this issue?

What LabVIEW version do you use?
I have used SourceSafe in every version from 8.0, and in the way some bugs are resolved.

Labview interview tips

For those of you who have gone on or given an interview for a labview programming position, what kind of questions can someone expect? Any suggestions for tips would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,

One of the better companies I worked for had a written test as part of my interview. Mostly associate developer-level stuff.
Another company simply asked "do you know LabVIEW"? I said "yes". That was it.
Both companies made offers.
