Naming Convention for LabVIEW

Hello

What naming convention should be followed in LabVIEW? I will use typical CamelCase (MyNewProgram.vi) or underscore (My_New_Program.vi) or with spaces (my new Program.vi)? In most standard LabVIEW programs, I have observed that different is with spaces (my new Program.vi) but most of the text language programmers prefer without convention spaces. What is the best way to name VI or variable in LabVIEW and what is the reason for this?

I went through the guidelines and a different post, but they mention just not to use a special character. Nowhere I found the naming convention in LabVIEW.

Kindly Guide.

Thank you.

The case of camel hails from the days of DOS when you were allowed only 8 characters for a file name.  Windows allow spaces in file names.  Linux does not work.  Due to the limitation of Linux/Unix, you will often see text language programmers to use the underscore character.  Almost all my code is on Windows, so I use spaces in the names of my files simply because I find it easier to read than the underscore.

  • Naming Convention for user performed at the Complutense University of MADRID

    Hi all

    Are there specific rules for the naming convention for the assignment of user name in the University Complutense of MADRID 11 g? Is there a specific type of some special characters that cannot be used by the UCM in username?

    Thank you

    It is the same for the user name. This is a limitation of the underlying directory server. So your restrictions will be the result of the restrictions in the underlying system (AD or LDAP). in general, stick with single-byte characters and using something like the first initial and the name or rating first.last is fairly reliable

  • Group of port and the naming convention for vLAN

    What is the naming convention better for groups of ports on vSwitches?  This naming convention should match how we name them VLAN on the physical switches and how important is that?

    Hi VMinator,

    To answer your question, he has not agreed to 'standard' for names of portgroup.  That's all what you're comfortable with the support and what works for you and your organization.  A bit like server names; Some companies are going hardcore with the naming conventions and others their name after the characters in science fiction or world of warcraft bosses

    Forensic science more you pack in a naming of the control standard more you have (i.e. for scripts, health check, etc. see below).  Also, if the name itself answers questions on his own and allows you to save a phone call that is priceless.  For example - the guys says unix... "Uh which network to choose for my new virtual machine.  My IP is blah blah blah. "Well, with right portgroup name, this question would have answered itself... and maybe even recorded some interruptions of service in other cases by the simple fact of being clear and effective in the communication of how this virtual device should work: purely expressed through an appropriate naming convention.

    Here's another one.  My last concert, we had thousands of virtual machines that had to move data centers and when they landed, they needed to change the IPs and start using 3 vNIC (instead of 1) on each virtual machine.  Each vNIC with a different subnet mask.  All support should be conducted by a team of outsourced with minimum experience of VMware.  The only way to support something like this and be effective is PowerCLI.  With just invited the naming convention only, you can perform various tasks such as query the virtual computer and check its settings of portgroup compared to its actual IP information in the operating system, initiate a ping from .NET to the virtual machine, if there is any questions Act automatically.  Some actions that will have to be performed include, for example, change the portgroup or mask on a set of clients;  Or questioning guests and glean information network (CDP, vSwitch, portgroup of information etc.) and compare observed network vs network expected enumerated in the PG naming convention. etc etc.  The list of actions that you can take are limited only by your creativity.  The naming standards give you effective power both in manual and automatic efforts.

    Still, notice of one man, but every site I care and feeding generally ends with a PG standard similar to what I first described above in my previous post.  Don't forget my example naming convention is Basic.  There are many other attributes that you can add (i.e. in vCloud deployments, in addition to the info network, you can choose to identify various features specific to vCloud org-networks, etc.).

    TBH just most of the companies have appointed VM-network exchanges (ok not bad) or some random shortname which doesn't help troubleshooting.  They are fairly easy to fix and also change over time, if necessary.  You can easily drag and drop a set of virtual machines (although I don't personally do this way) in the new port group (via the page of networking to CTRL + SHIFT + N) or PowerCLI it (Yes!  way to go).  Of course, always the ping tests before and after the change.  There are a lot of scripts out there (or ask master lucd post in PowerCLI VMTN forums).  If this is net-news, then you are ahead of the game and will have a standard to follow, whatever it is.

    Best of luck and have fun!

  • Naming Convention for Flash? _mc, instances

    Im a bit bogged down in the denomination in Flash.

    IM pretty new to the clips in the film clips as well as grant shares to the buttons to assign said film clips...

    I've been naming my calendar of video clips, but then I have to put a clip in the clip... I've exhausted the names.

    So going for an instance name makes even more twisted.

    No one cares to share their naming conventions? As you name case or anything action verbs?

    I use the btn, the mc, the format of gs to name things, but it becomes overwhelming for simple actions already, so I guess that there is a better nomenclature...

    Personally I don't like Hungarian notation or notations of postfix. Fix _mc or _array post for example come a hold on before typing data and allowed the ActionScript editor guess that something was class and provide code hinting. Now with the best document you can always get the code hinting without using this notation. I always found it difficult to read and type.

    And that's why I don't like Hungarian notation of mcClip or bBoolean. Find it me difficult to read again.

    I recommend that people find their own conventions and pretty much stick to them. It is a very personal matter of how to find the meaning and order and it's so different for each person.

    I think that part of what you are experiencing is that you have difficulties with the library and naming of instances?

    In the library, I use capital letters and spaces. For instance names, I use camelBackCaseWithNoSpaces.

    Often if I have something nested in the library I have something like:

    Control Panel

    Panel arrow up

    Scroller Control Panel

    that holds together in the library. If I have a lot of assets, I'll do a folder

    Control Panel

    Assets of Control Panel

    Panel arrow up

    etc...

    Then for the instances I would probably call the control panel

    Control Panel

    Or if there are several of them:

    controlPanel0, controlPanel1, etc.

    Don't start ever and with a number of instance and learn to start counting from zero!

    Then, inside, I would give the name of instances as

    up arrow

    scroller

    Are other popular names that I use a lot

    work

    background

    content

    holder

    Does this help?

  • Naming Convention for Active Center

    My company has about 25 people using Workstation 5 and 6, and different versions of VMPlayer. We use all of the different images. Some people may have up to 10 at the same time. Whenever a new image is created, it should change the name to something meaning full. for example, I have a named "mc-VM-MSCRM-Out" image which is my initails, VM VMware and MSCRM-Out for Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook.

    Images come and go in our society so often that our Active Directory is now become clogged. Its almost impossible to clean the AD because it is impossible to know what images are still active and which are not used.

    VMware has all the tools to make this easier, or is it possible to see what the images are not used in AD.  All ideas are welcome

    Thanks in advanced for any suggetions

    MWac wrote:

    ... The problem is that the password never changes for images. It will have the value when the image is created, but people may still use images that are more than 90 days for example.

    Are you sure? While password domain user account can never change (depending on your strategy of passwords user AD), domain joined computers windows automatically change their domain computer account passwords every 30 days by default (if I remember correctly).   This is the behavior of the advantage of OldCmp tire tool.

    That's why return to a very old snapshot of a system of joints in an area sometimes results in the system that needs to be removed and joined to the domain.

  • Enqueue cluster for Labview Teststand, return a cluster by notification

    Hi all

    I get very very frustrated that I can't find a way to spend

    an asynchronous VI with a cluster of Teststand reflecting a LV

    cluster using a queue.

    This works if wire you the cluster Teststand for the VI is there

    an order appropriate to link to. Yet, the VI has no

    Connector, he expects that a cluster in queue, read of the

    PropertyObject by 'GetValVariant', do some magic

    and is supposed to return another cluster using Teststand

    a notification

    I can read singular elements of the cluster in queue, but cannot

    Run in a cluster of LV with, say, the good old 'VariantToData '.

    which indeed works great inside LV

    Same thing happens when I try to regain a Teststand cluster

    using 'SetValVariant' even if both the Teststand cluster

    and the cluster of LabView are the same format and structure.

    The 'Wait' Teststand notifier action is linked to the right cluster

    property, but Labview fails at the "SetValVariant", because not of

    the right type, even if I have sunk the variant data.

    I wonder if I do wrong or Teststand and Labview

    are simply not designed to work together seamlessly.

    Here's the example I'm putting in place, but the reading of the

    cluster fails, while the alternative 'False' works (123.00)

    Defining the notifier cluster fails too, but its definition the

    elements indivualy also fails because Labview is

    What are 'Compliance' and 'Comments' in

    the 'True' alternative, although I tried all

    hierarchy tree.

    You might have figured out, but I really really need to

    get this working, and I can't understand where the

    default is (next between the Chair and the keyboard) because

    the principle works in LabView.

    David Koch

    Okay guys, I give up all hope, that I had to do this work.

    This is a WIP Teststand container/Labview cluster motor relay.

    TestStand 2013-> TCS_main_2.0.4.seq (run TCS_teststand_2.0.0.vi)
    LabVIEW 2013-> TCS_teststand_2.0.0.vi (run TCS_instruments_2.0.0.vi)
    LabVIEW 2013-> TCS_instruments_2.0.0.vi (interface instruments)

    The main idea was to catch Teststand queued of containers,
    convert a Variant, to analyze their structure and
    to match with their counterpart of cluster of Labview.

    The engine is initialized to 'learn' the Labview
    data structures, storing the data type and the names of the clusters
    different elements, as well as the cluster hierarchy.

    A format of target data type and an associated action are also
    stored for each identified cluster/container.

    Then the engine is waiting for incoming Teststand queue
    containers, convert them to a Variant, to analyze their
    structure and * TRY * to match with the stored
    having been analyzed Labview homologous groups.

    This is what I call the "footprints".

    The three main problems were... are:

    1 - different naming convention (TCS_string_teststand_name_convert_2.0.0.vi)

    2 - format of different data type (TCS_variant_tree_convert_2.0.0.vi)
    3 - different (TCS_propertyobject_tree_parse_2.0.0.vi) data structure

    I think I was very close to resolving these issues, but I'm
    short on time. As an entrepreneur, I've spent
    more than a month of work on this value. Who is
    too many given my dead line.

    I'm quite sad to be leaving this unfinished, he would have
    was great to get the motor relay pole upward and
    running, having just to place a container Teststand
    to get something done automatically at the other end
    and just wait for a notification sent for analysis.

    What's left to do is the following, as an exercise
    left for the reader:

    To "explode" the data structure to correspond to of Teststand "
    still more verbose simpler data format

    This means for example that a Labview wave have to
    be transformed into a cluster of 3 datas. You can read the
    suite of document, but it is not very clear on how
    The LabVIEW data type formats are converted to their
    corresponding Teststand counterpart:

    http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052N-01/tsref/infotopics/labview_data_types/

    Beware, this involves a lot of trial and error, as
    creating a large Labview cluster with all data
    type of support, import it in Teststand and create
    a custom, data type and then compare each converted

    a data type.

    B point A would improve the adequacy between Teststand
    containers and clusters of Labview.

    With a longer data structure mirrored, it will indeed
    help 'TCS_fingerprint_search_2.0.0.vi' to compare
    the structure of the Teststand container with the correspondent
    LabVIEW cluster structure, the elements names
    Always different Convention.

    Conversion of data format C - needs to be done, place holders
    are ready to be filled.

    There are still a lot of work to do in 'TCS_variant_tree_convert_2.0.0.vi '.

    Remember that the type of data "FileGlobals.tcscluster".
    mirrors (wise Teststand) the 'TCS_instruments_2.0.0.ctl '.
    type definition.

    This means that a string has not transformed a waveform.
    Data format should be very close to each other. That's why
    There is no need to focus too much on these "exotic" data
    format conversions.

    Thanks again to all the people who have invested some time
    in trying to help me solve this issue.

    Thanks to nathand for its cluster monitor not recursive.

  • Snapshot, Naming Convention

    By default, the hard files have the name of the virtual machine. The first virtual disk is named hard, the second _1.vmdk of ...

  • naming conventions of schema in the oracle database

    Hello gurus,

    In some workplaces, I saw the names of patterns being called as
    "ABC_ADMIN "
    "ABC"
    "XYZ_ADMIN"
    "XYZ"
    Just curious, is recommended for this naming convention or is this standard practice?

    Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    If the names are significant (that will depend on what are the objects in the different schemas) and the underlying architecture is reasonable, then the naming convention would be a good practice.

    -How the objects in the schema of the CBA relate to objects in the ABC_ADMIN schema?
    -What, exactly, the _ADMIN suffix indicates?

    My unfounded guess, is that you have two related schemas because you create a schema that has objects and another scheme that has limited access to these objects (ideally just through views, procedures and functions) for applications to use to connect. If this is the case, it is not clear to me that ABC and ABC_ADMIN hold the objects in the application of the CBA. But if you are actually separate objects for other reasons, then _ADMIN can give its full meaning.

  • Data Modeler - Naming Conventions

    I was using Oracle Designer for several year.
    This product could make you crazy because sometimes, but the resistance was in my opinion the datamodelling part.
    He saved a lot of time because you kept stuck to the logic model generated your relational model and had all the scripts meets all naming conventions you need.
    In Data Modeler I really miss the naming conventions and cannot understand certain parts, sometimes that someone here can help me if I oversaw something or it is simply not implemented.

    Such naming conventions:

    We work with surrogate keys.
    Two tables well known - employees (abbreviation PMC), departments (DEP abbreviation)
    They have a relationship 1: n a Department has many employees

    In the designer, I would define the EMPLOYEE entity, would fix the abbreviation table, attributes, and the primary key.
    The same Department. I would design it WITHOUT any column of the foreign key constraint.
    Then I would create a relationship between the two tables.
    Final step is to generate the relational model.

    (a) Designer automatically adds ID as the key substitution on all tables (you can set it up, it was based on a domain)
    (b) it automatically adds the abbreviation of table as prefix on each column (although here, it is configurable)
    (c) it automatically adds the a foreign key column in the child table with the prefix of the main table (Te EMP_DEP_ID or DEP_ID if you prefer not to prefix each column... what I do)

    It was really easy to get your scripts.

    I don't understand things in Data Modeler:

    In a logic model you should design entities, attributes and relationships and not waste his time with FK-columns.
    Y at - it no support for surrogate keys? I don't want to add an ID manually with all tables.
    In Data Modeler as a COLUMN (!) additional is added to each foreign key relationship, I could live with that, but there is no way of knowing
    Data Modeler to precede it automatically. The name can just be changed in the relational view later.

    P. S.
    Surrogate keys... There are a few advantages and disadvantages for/against this there. I have seen a lot of Oracle projects and in all but one, I've always had a surrogate key column. It really makes life
    easier. In the only substitution key project, we started adding surrogate keys after a certain time...

    Hey Manfred,

    Even though with 'Apply naming Standard' I can just change the name of the foreign key, unique key, check the constraint etc but not the foreign key column.

    What version of Data Modeler using you - this feature is available in the latest version released - build 584 - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/datamodeler/index.html
