Here is my last ‘corporate’ LabVIEW program, please don’t critique it too much. 


Well, this is what we do, so here's a list: 😄

 

  • the need for 0.1s updates demonstrates your impatience with all this, so this is OK Agreed.
  • While I do like the LED font and custom time format, I would have expected an array of picture rings where each number is a picture of a nixie tube. (Use code similar to this, but replace the cluster with a picture ring). I am a fan of pixies (us old-timers) but I had that LED font for ages...
  • The retirement date should be a diagram constant. NOOO.....
  • It should be made into an executable that auto-starts after each reboot.
  • The stop condition should be based on the relative time changing sign and then trigger a firework show, while paying a tune. I had thought of adding NASA or Star Trek sound-bites to fire off, but...
  • ...

 

Yes the community edition is a great way to keep participating here. Hopefully it will eventually be 64bit. I've been retired 60% for a few years (soon 80%), but my time spent programming in LabVIEW has not slowed. It is too much fun to teach an old computer new tricks!

 

Enjoy it!

Congrats on retirement! How do I get that sweet LED font in my numeric controls?


Thanks Darrren, I forget, but I have had it for years.
