Frustrating Threads

[tbob]

My turn to start a new thread.  I've seen our friend Smercurio battle with valor as he tries to help a novice who doesn't understand English very well and doesn't know much about what he is doing.  The thread is here

Smerc, you have my sympathies.

Looks like Smerc has two choices, see attached.

I really enjoy when you ask for a VI to show what they are actually doing and they attach my own code that I posted earlier in the same thread. 😮

6 pages and the solution???? The first reply to the op

A few years ago I tried to help someone who posed himself as a potential client, and I quickly discovered that it was a student...   I went overboard by actually writing code for the guy to show him how to do it.  I learned that we can't help those who do not want to help themselves.  I don't mind writing examples because it keeps my feet wet with LabVIEW (I work with embedded C - vxWorks).  But if they do not want to put some effort to learn or to realize the benefit of working (ie: please do my assignment or work while getting the benefits), I provide less code and more shorter pieces of instructions to get them to think more about the solution.  They get frustrated, but hey..  that's life...  And usually no kudos 😞

Thanks. I really need them for that. And also for this one, where I spell out what to do, step by step. But the OP then says he doesn't know how to create a reference, or his LabVIEW is "corrupt", and just wanted someone to write the code for him. srikrishnaNF rescued him this time (he usually does that a lot on the LabVIEW board).

please just edit the above VIs in order to save time

i am doing a mistake or my labview 8.6 is corrupted

Oh!!  That's cruel!!  As if Saverio's (or others) was not as important as his..

Can't balme you from being frustrated..

Thanks JB.  🙂

Some are just very impatient!

[Ray.R]

let him wait a bit..  maybe he'll take the time to read the thread and figure out something..  😉
