Hmmm...... *Brett puts on his technical voice* Yes.... Yes that certainly is ...... top notch software . . .

So is that kind of like PLC's and such then being automation????

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Have fun at lunch

See'ya:burnout:

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Brett,

It can communicate to PLC's, but it is much more complicated then that and can provide Supervisory Control to 100's of instruments simulataneously.

See'ya:burnout:

[MrGTST]

Ahh ..... So labview is completely a software package though???

I am starting to picture it now

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yes,

It's just like C++ or Visual Basic, but instead of text code you use objetcs, and you can build objetcs into more advanced structures. It comes with a large library of structures for doing quite complex task's, so developemnt time is reduced.

See'ya:burnout:

I'm going to lunch,

chat with you later.

See'ya:burnout:

[MrGTST]

Enjoy your lunch.

Hmmm sounds like a very interesting package.... I did quite alot of C++ Programming and some PLC work back in TAFE, but that was about 4 Years ago now.... Thats why my questions are so vague... as is my memory

Oh well thanks for taking the time to answer/indulge my questions... I find it interesting....

I will do my best not to bother ya with any more silly Programing questions now

Chat to ya later :uh-huh:

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I don't mind talking about it, but usually as soon as I do the forum goes quiet, cause no-one knows what I'm talking about.

Off to lunch, bye.

See'ya:burnout:

just reading that last page paul ur two jobs are slacker than mine

thats an achievement.

PLC nasty things, but i did get to play with them at tafe hehe u didn't want to be on my lifts hehe well not the fun version.

[skyzerr33]

brett did u go to AMTC in east perth?

[MrGTST]

Yep.... Sure did.... About 4 or so years ago now ....

I assume you also went there???

I don't know of too many training facilites that you can do PLC programming in???

[skyzerr33]

now i know why ur face was familiar hehe

yeah and the old git that taught it knew sfa, after 1 class we knew them better than he did.

but geoff blaunkamp was a legend (balding south african dude with glasses)

[skyzerr33]

oh and howard baker what a funny fella he was

easy pass marks to just show up talk some Sh1t with him and u passed

[skyzerr33]

abusive sms's from paul

what a life i leave

hehe, i have night shift dude so nothing to do till then.

besides i've already driven up to ossi park and back to get the clutch checked.

the vibration is virtually non existant anymore which is sweet.

Ross described as you lost some tractability down low with the lightened flywheel but will hae gained more up top

whatever that means

[MrGTST]

Haha.... Yeah now that you mention it I have always thought your face was familiar.... I just put it down to one of those faces that you think you know but you don't know....

Yeah Geoff was really cool.... I knew him pretty well..... I think towards the end though he left as he was appointed to another position and was rarely at AMTC...

I am trying to remember the old guys name..... Ahh I cant think of it for the life of me!!!! Wasnt it Kim Gates or something???

I had him for several classes over the course of my studies there...

What course did you do there??? Was it an Electronic or a Computer Systems Diploma or something different???

[MrGTST]

Oh and Howard Baker!!!! He was so cool..... Hehe the way he said he couldnt get done for descrimination because he descriminated against everyone!!!!

Yeah you turned up... you passed..... Glad I didnt have him for any serious classes though!!!! Only ones like occupational health and safety and writing workplace documents and such!!!

[skyzerr33]

yup kim gates was his name

Geoff got given an admin position at amtc when i was last there so his student contact dropped heaps

i did the associate diploma of computer systems engineering.

also did enough extra subjects to pick up the certificate 4 of electronic engineering.

now i just got to get off my arse and go ask for the bits of paper hehe.

[skyzerr33]

oh a good memory the multimedia students

god there were some honies in that lot.

one of em was caught bonking the lecturer to get a pass mark

naughty naughty

[skyzerr33]

yeah

i had him for the project one boy that was easy

1st day right i'll c u back here in 6 months if u show u pass hehe

[MrGTST]

Yeah the paperwork is kind of important!!!

We couldn't have been two far apart in the course then....

Alot of my mates from tafe ended up finding jobs at the end of the course, and to this day still have like 1 subject outstanding and the refuse to finish the course.... And we finished about 4 years ago!!!!
