Re: paper: Programming in LabVIEW: Tips and Tricks

@ Jogo

Whoops sorry about that. I will fix that.

Anyway Version control in LabVIEW is hard to do. What I do is at every competition or before it. I Make a copy of the code and save that under a different name. I also make a new executable and label it for that competition. For example, I have "build season code.exe" as a downloadable code for the robot. Then for I make a new exe called, "competition one.exe". Then when ever I make changes to the code I build in the new .exe file. That way if the code doesn't work I can change over to "build season code .exe". I also made a text display on the DS that says what code is running. Us the other papers attached to modify DS screen and other things. This is more of a way to manually handle version control. I don't know of a way to have LabVIEW do this automatically other than using multiple exe codes.

Hope that clears things up.

@ apalrd

Threading is interesting I never used that before. I might try that later. I will add state machines in another revision when I have more time and some code ready.
