I took a new position as a Manufacturing Engineer

[jcarmody]

I've been a Test Engineer for the past six years, supporting an electronics manufacturing line.  I jumped on a job opening when one of our Manufacturing Engineers quit this month, and this is one of the projects I've inherited! 😄  Good night.

And on top of that the VI is broken. Oh and I couldn't help but notice your password is 314. Fantastic choice having it hard coded and 3 characters long.

Easy as Pi(e). 😄

I guess there is very slight "encryption" for those casually looking at the binary data in the file. At least he did not hardcode it as a string of "314", which would have made the code singificantly simpler. 😉

At least most of the subVIs are clearly labeled.

We know exactly where data goes in and where it comes out.

(Of course nobody knows what happens in the orange part. :D)

I don't have IMAQ VIs. 

The author of this has made some of the most fantastic equipment in our factory.  I aspire to be the scientist he is, with neater block diagrams.

And still, not the worst code I've ever seen.

For your sake, I hope you're not serious.

Code mocking is a required tradition. I am sure that code works just fine. 😄

Even better if the password is actually 788 or 204 in decimal representation 😄

This made me chuckle.  It's so true though.

In keeping with tradition

Yup- it really is in there  And the read from file in in the main loop!  (Hey thats a depreciated read from text- how old is this code?)
