on Mac

[Greg McKaskle]

Hi, my name is Greg, and I too use a Mac. I've been using since 1986, and I use numerous times a day. I hardly go a day without using.

If I'm loading FRC stuff, I typically just hit ignore a few times. I've never bothered building frameworks with the right entry points.

The other thing I do is to run parallels with Win7, LV, and other SW installed there. To keep the battery usage down, I typically have the VM paused. It only takes about five seconds to resume. Because the clipboard works transparently between the VM images, and one of the disks (Z) is mounted on Win7, I can pretty easily do everything I want. I still get stymied by networking sometimes. I end up going through the various Bridged and Host-Only settings until I find something that works.

Once upon a time, NI had a version of RT host for the mac, but there simply weren't enough purchases to justify the testing effort of the various protocols and configuration tools.

If you have any questions about the scripting, or any success, let me know. A slightly different approach would be to copy the VIs over to the Mac, and don't bother with the disable node, but instead, use scripting to delete the CLF nodes and remove bad wires. This will leave many of the VIs stubbed and returning defaults, similar to what you'd get if you disable the CLF.

Thanks, that answered my question. Building dummy frameworks isn't worth it.

I might delve into scripting sometime again (perhaps this summer?). It would be really nifty to find broken pieces of code (and drill down to the lowest level it can), and disable them.
However, your solution of just deleting the CLF nodes and FPGA invoke methods would probably be easier.
