(If you are using any version of LabVIEW more recent than 8.2, please mak sure to save your weekly VIs as an 8.2 version.  This includes people
using the computers in EBU2, Geisel, and those who have downloaded the student version (so, virtually everybody).
To do this, simply click FILE --> SAVE FOR PREVIOUS VERSION and choose version 8.2. Please make sure to do this before you turn in your VIs during your lab section, otherwise they cannot be graded.) For Labview support, please see Kevin Mandich (kmandich@ucsd.edu) office hours Thu 4 - 5 EBU2 -126.
