LabVIEW proverbs!

Hello everyone. I feel so damned for seeing this thread just now.

Well, here's mine....

While we are all "Powered by LabVIEW"

Perhaps, we should have "LabVIEW Inside" as well 🙂

Nice thread, I spent some good time.
I read this one on a tee-shirt from NI, and I think it's quiet funny :

"Join the DAQ side"

[Dr._Imad]

Where is the code ?

This is in reference to text based programmers asking the question ? (HaHa)

Just wanted it to sound like "where is the beef" (for the North American audience who remember the 1984 commercial/Mondale/Jackson presidential debate

Besides, my program has a ton of LOCAL VARIABLES and they rock! 🙂

I think locals make the code look easier to read, easier to write, and are lower in carbohydrates. Just my opinion though. And I'm just a self-taught newbie, so take it for what it's worth!

You might want to do a Help -> Search Labview bookshelf -> LOCAL VARIABLE and see the caveats listed there. I use them too but have always looked to avoid them ever since I heard in a very good advanced LabVIEW class (from VI Engineering, www.vieng.com, in 2001) that "reading from a local variable can be up to 400 times slower than reading from a shift register."

My proverb to contribute is this:

The likelyhood of LabVIEW to crash unexpectedly is directly proportional to the number of unsaved changes that have been made to a group of VIs.

You know you have been coding too much when you concider usng a "ctrl-e" when trying to get the top of the tylenol bottle.

Every time you use a local variable, god kills a kitten.

THINK OF THE KITTENS!

[AnalogKid2DigitalMan]

Hate to think what occurs when you use globals!

[Molly K]

Don't kill the kitties!
