CLD-R

I never noticed that.  Good catch.  I guess I just never updated the logo.  I do have a CLD shirt though.

Yeah, I'm one logo behind as well. I'm a CLAD, so I have no logo

I think NI sent me the wrong logo.  The URl has "lv_cert-dev" in it, and this is what is displayed.  Here is the URL:  http://sine.ni.com/images/products/us/040910_lv_cert_dev_t.jpg

It says cert_dev but it shows certified associate developer.  Hmmm. go figure....

Maybe if you send them another $200 they'll send you the right logo?

Just a fictional cheap jab at NI's prices

About Q1, I actually ran into this problem once. I had a timer-feature that displayed the 'time elapsed' of a measurement. I was using an event structure with 1s timeout. I was using a user event to stop the timer.

Later I rewrote some sections of the code and a lot more data was passed by the user event. So the 1s timeout never happened. -> Feature broken.

But custom probes? It's nice to be able to write them. But I never did need it.

Has anyone ever used a custom probe?  I haven't.  How did it ever come into being? 

It seems like a nice feature, being able to pause on a certain condition.  But I've never found the need to use it.  So why is on the CLD-R exam?  I guess to hlep NI get another $200 because everyone will miss this question.  That is, everyone except the people who read this thread because we now know the "correct" answer.

tbob,

My most common use for a custom probe is when probing a string and need to see '\' codes or hex display.  Also nice when probing a U8 and you want to switch between different radix for display.
