Can more than one LV app running on different machines have open references to the same device at the same time?
I want to control a bunch of FP devices from one PC and serve this info to some satelites PC who will be on the same network. Most of the time,only the one PC will be interacting with all of the FP devices.
In the event this main PC fails, I want to be able to quickly tell all of my FP devices to go into a safe state. I have a mechanism that will tell me the main is down. When this happens, I want to write the correct state to all of the output relays.
To pull this off, I wanted all of the satelites to open FP connections to the relays that have to be driven to the safe state at starrt-up. When the failure of the main is detected, I want to be able t
o drive the relays to the correct state with a minimal amout of delay. My experiments with using FP explorer with a single PC controlling a FP device in a LV app has showed that I can write from ether place any time I wantedwith no apparent interfearence. I this same functionality available from multiple machines?
The alternative to this approach would target a watch-dog app at each of the FP controllers and have them fail-safe their outputs but this means I need to include support of RT in this app, and I was hoping to keep this simple. Each of the FP controllers would also have to be smart enough to know which if outputs should be acted on. i would alsolike some mechanism of knowing this has happened (for trouble-shooting purposes)
I thought I read this was built into FP, but that may have applied to specific devices. I am not sure.
Question:
What is the simplest approach to setting my outputs quickly to a safe state when then main PC goes down?
Thank you for reading,

Ben,
The FP-100X, FP-160X and FP-20XX series of network modules all have communication watchdogs. The communication watchdogs are used to monitor the communications between host computers and the network module. If there are no communications within the timeout period, pre-programmed settings can be applied to each channel as desired. For proper operation, a communications watchdog has to be enabled in three locations; in the network module (enable/disable and set timeout period), in the I/O module (Enable/Enable on Use (FP-100X series only)/Disable) and on each individual channel. For relays/discrete outputs, you can program what state the channel goes to (on/off), for analog outputs, you can set the exact output value the channel goes to.
For more in
formation, please see the following tutorial. It explains in detail how the watchdogs work.

Can more than one player use the game center? I have an I phone and my husband just got the I pad I want to play my games on his i pad can I do this?(example we both play tap fish and tap hotel can I sign out of his login and sign into mine and play my game this way?)
If tap fish was an app purchased by both you can do that. If you yourself just purchased it and it's on the iPad, the iPad won't let you open it under your husbands I'd.since you have the rights, you bought it, it must be your apple I'd logged in. To do that go to settings, store, taptheapple I'd..sign out and sign in with yours. The gamecenter signing out and in will only help if youwant achievements or to play with your friends.

Can more than one computer "supervise" an iPad at one time?
Can more than one computer "supervise" an iPad at one time?
Do you mean share via USB? Or connect to two different computers?
USB can't share two connections at once like that, and for it to be connected to one, then the other, both computers need to have the same iTunes account running. -

Can more than one apple id sign in on my tablet without deleting anything off? Or does err1 hve 2 use ID while on my iPad?
Message was edited by: RuEnvy35Another ID can be signed into on the iPad without losing anything, but it is not advisable to download purchased content with another ID, or you will lock yourself out of your own ID for 90 days. Why don't you explain exactly why you want to sign in with another ID.

for some reason i have more than one apple id, not sure how, must have set one up ages ago and forgot about it. can i delete one, or merge them? how do i know im not going to lose info if i delete one account?
You can neither merge or delete them. Pick one and stop using the other. If they both have purchases associated with them you will have to keep using both.

I have the copy of the form coming to my main email but I need it to go to a second email address. right now the 2nd email address only gets a link. I do not want them to have access to the account only to get a copy of the data. I have them set up under Email Notifications as a "reader".

Can more than one action be maintained on same day?
Hi
Can more than one action be maintained on same day?
CharleneHi,
SPRO -> PM-> PA->CUSTOMIZING PROCEDURES-> ACTIONS-> SETUP PERSONNEL ACTIONS-> PERSONNEL ACTION TYPES. In this step check under both "U & U" columns for that particular action.
Activate additional action infotype P0302 in T529A table.
You can do two actions on the same day without changing employment status.
Cause and prerequisites
You use the functions 'Additional actions' (infotype 0302) (that is, flag ADMIN EVSUP = 1 in table T77S0). If you delete or shift a created personnel action type 'Leaving' and then create a new personnel action without leaving the transaction, on the list screen of infotype 0000, the system does not display the last but one personnel action.
Solution
To correct the display problem, start report RPUEVSUP for the affected personnel number. Then check Customizing of the personnel action types (table T529A), since the report sets indicator U0302 (update of infotype 0302) active for all personnel actions.
RPUEVSUP --- Activation Program for Additional Actions (0302).
Pls reward suitable points.

Can more than one laptop use a wireless network at a time?
Hi...quick question and this may be a stupid one .. but a few months ago my uncle was living with us and had a laptop which had a wireless Internet connection. I had already had my Ibook set up and was using a wireless Internet connection. When he turned on his mine stopped working? Why was that happening? Also ... my dad is buying my mom a laptop for Xmas and I'm sure that it will have a wireless connection as well? I'm hoping that same thing will not happen again. Why would the wireless router only read one laptop in the same house? Aren't wireless routers suppose to read more than one computer? I just don't want my MAC to be unable to use the Internet once another laptop is in our house. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks a ton!
IBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)
IBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)Karen, welcome to the discussions.
Using a wireless router will enable you to connect upwards of 50 computers all at the same time and simultaniously.
Take care to read the set up procedure for the particular Wireless Router you are using for your Network.
There are several different ways to confiqure a wireless Network.
AS long as all of the computers you have, do in fact have wireless cards in them you shouldn't have a problem.
There is a difference in the set up for PC and a Mac.
There is also a difference in Wireless Routers and there capabilitys, some are for older wireless 802.11b compliant systems. Whereas the newer Routers or Base stations are for both older 802.11b and the newer 802.11g connections.
They will say 802.11b/g or something close.
Most will require you connect your Internet Service Providers Modem to the WAN Port of your choice of Wireless Router. Like I said follow the directions.
Good Luck

How to multiple/ parallel sets of books to generate more than one financial statement based on different (or the same) accounting principles.
My Client needs Parallel Ledger in SAP B1 similar like SAP ECC. Is this functionality available ?Dear Mr. Nagrajan,
Thank you for your response. I have already gone through documents but not able to understand. Is there any setup for this ? or its just work around i.e. using template and special field in JV i.e. Ref. 1 /2
My doubts :
I understand that Chart of Account structure is one and common for IFRS and other accounting method. We need to create only those account separately ( 2 times with prefix like IFRS revenue account, GAAP Revenue account).
Now at time of entry, Assume some entries / adjustment are specifically for IFRS and not for other ledger. In this case, What need to do ?
You have mentioned about DTW approach but do we need to insert all JV's again with other ledger ?
Someone suggested that if any entry which are specific to IFRS Ledger, We need to user Ref.1 /2 column or Transcation code column and in which we can put IFRS
Based on this, Need to create 2 seperate template for IFRS and other ledger for all report.
This is my understanding of Solution in SAP B1. Please help me to clarify my though process
Please do needful.If you have done implemenation and if you can share doucment, it would be great help.

HT4976 Can you use more than one emoji app?
Can you use more than one emoji pp on the iPhone 5?
All the emoji apps have been removed from the App Store because the Emoji keyboard is now accessible in all iPhones (since, I believe) iOS 5.
Settings>General>Keyboard>Keyboards>Add New Keyboard.
There is no need for a separate app.
