LabVIEW Quick Tips

[npb555]

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?

1. How often do you use the LabVIEW Quick Tips?

  d. I didn't know that the LabVIEW Quick Tips existed.

3. Would the Quick Tips be more helpful if each tip was integrated into a relevant help topic?

  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.

I did not know that this list of tips existed either, but I think it's a very good idea.

I would like to see it in one or more of these three forms -

• as part of an interactive tutorial (which I think is something LV seriously needs)
• as the current listing, only in a more prominent position which will let people have a concentrated list of tips
• as part of specific help topics

so yes, I think it would be helpful both to have it in individual topics and in a centralized location.

Without reading the tips, I can't tell if there's anything missing, but I'm sure we could find a few things to put in there.

1. How often do you use the LabVIEW Quick Tips?

  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?

  Yes, I believe so. I probably woudn't turn it off then.

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?

 Yes, I believe so.

4. Is there any additional information not currently in the Quick Tips that would be helpful to you when using LabVIEW?

 Almost certainly, but I suspect that its very hard to hit the right level and subject matter.
