Me three. But the evaluation period is only good for 7 days. Didn't it used to be 30 days?

I agree. 7 days seems too short for an initial evaluation. I wonder why it got shortened.

Hey guys,

I'll see what I can find out for you.

"Announcing LabVIEW 2012

The latest version of NI LabVIEW software has new features and tools designed to accelerate your success and improve the quality of code."

May be we can expect this new version to shorten our tasks by a factor of 30/7 !

Hey guys,

          We changed the evaluation period for LabVIEW 2012 from 30 days to 7 days. You can easily extend that to 45 days (15 days over the prior trial period) by regisering the evalution by providing an email address that we can send an extension key to. We will also be providing tailored resources sent by email to those truly evaluating. We did a lot of different studies over the past few years and found that this would be a better approach for truly giving our evaluating customers the best experience and also apply industry standards for software trials. If anyone has any specific feedback, please don't hesitate to email me at grant.heimbach@ni.com but we don't expect any customers to be adversely affected by the change. Let me know what your new favorite feature is.....mine is the common right-click menu for multiple block diagram objects. Happy wiring!

OK Grant,  Here is a re-creation of the Tip of the Week I released internally.  It points out my favorites!

Tip of the week:

NI Week 2012

New Features in LabVIEW 2012

What?

Of course there are new features!  For a complete list see http://www.ni.com/labview/whatsnew/ but I want to detail two of my favorites that will make an impact on how Company redacted uses LabVIEW and, introduce some others that need no explanation.

The Error Ring is back!

The error ring was last seen in LabVIEW 6.i.  It left because 7.0 allowed TKs and Plugins to manage their own errors so the static ring was unable to be updated.   Steve Mercer went out and hit this out of the ballpark.  The new ring is dynamic and populates the selections based on all currently configured errors and by the module that owns the error.  Additionally, we can add format specifiers into the error text and the appropriate terminals appear to wire the data to.

Hey, check out the GLYPHS!  Click the red error symbol to toggle between error and warning.  Although it’s a bit subtle, the glyph next to it is a rotated call-chain glyph, “|” (Pipe) means include the call-chain in error.source.  Click to toggle between include/exclude call-chain.  RCM options also have selections to Show Labels and to Show Code only to save BD Space

Additional Tunnel Options!

The conditional tunnel, long desired by the Forum’s Idea Exchange, has been delivered!

That’s right no more Boolean cases or SRs to build a loop’s output.  A no-brainer improvement in code readability and one I miss when I downgrade my version from the Beta at home.  Save for previous versions can get a little ugly with this feature (The SR’s, Build Arrays and Case structures get generated) so keep that in mind if you know you need to build for systems on legacy code. 

In total 21 Idea Exchange enhancements were rolled into the 2012 release most of them are development enhancements.

• RCM on multiple selections (Create VI Server references for all your FP Objects at once!)
• Project Templates!   need I explain?
• Default label positions on FP and BD.  That is 5 default label positions in all! FP Control and Indicator, BD Control, Indicator and Other.

My favorite new feature is the inclusion of the Actor Framework.
