Desperate Help needed in using LabVIEW

Hi,
I'm a beginner in using LabView programming. Can anybody help with implementing Labview 6 and Keithley 2400 SourceMeter for data aquisition? I've wired up the hardware and have problem coming up with the software.. Any idea how to get started?

Hello giam,
I made wrapper vi's for the standard GPIB Read/Write functions to
handle errors (using green icons to distinguish them better). The "send
mult" handles simple strings (like standard GPIB Write) and array of
strings (you often need to send more than one string to a device). But
generally those icons have the same main functionality like standard
GPIB...
To send an array of strings you put the GPIB Write into a for loop and
connect the array as input with autoindexing enabled (as standard).
Maybe a small delay will help for some devices, the K2400 should do
without.
Edited: The greenish delay icon is just a standard "Wait ms" with
additional error cluster in/out to allow dataflow programming...

Really need help (motor control using labview)

hi all readers,
im new beginner. really need help for my project. i've been assigned to monitor/control motor using labview 8.5 (using NI DAQmx). the problem is, the techinician told me that i cant use 3phase motor with this card. things that i need to displayed using labview is :
torque
power
current
voltage
speed
really appreciated if readers can help me with this:
wut type of motor shud i use that compatible with NI DAQmx
thanks a lot.

Hi fauziana,
NI data acquisition devices are primarily designed to take measurements, so it's a good idea to measure the signals that you have mentioned with a DAQ device.
You also can use DAQ devices for control tasks, but for reliable and deterministic control behavioryou typically need to use a real-time operating system (not Windows!). If you want to learn more about the pros and cons of using DAQ devices for motion control tasks, please refer to these threads. Still for standard motion control tasks it's much more efficient in terms of development time, to use a dedicated motion control device for the motion control part of your application.
In general the control part is independant from the motor type, as these devices only generate control signals (+/- 10 V). There are many power drives available, that accept this type of control signal and you should select your motor according to the requirements of your application.
For a more detailed system consulting, please contact your local NI branch. To select the products that fit best to your application requirements a face to face discussion is much more efficient than a discussion forum thread, because there are a lot of parameters that need to be taken into consideration. If you tell me in which country you are living, I can provide appropriate contact data to you.
Thanks and kind regards,

Help needed for using BASIC authentication through JDBCRealm

Help needed.
Hello,
I am doing a degree project, so far it works fine in my local machine, I need to try it on my virtual hosting (as it is a live server).
My project requires JDBCRealm, that is BASIC authentication loading access data from mysql database. Normally this setup can be done in Server.xml file, because my Tomcat hosting is a virtual one, I only have permission to access the web.xml file.
My question is: is it possible to get it done in an alternative way? In web.xml? Some properties file maybe?
Thank you very much.

You can set this up for your context using META-INF/context.xml instead of working with server.xml.
Make a directory called META-INF under your webapp ( it'll be at the same level as WEB-INF ). Under this, add a context.xml with all your context specific configuration including the realm. A sample is below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/myApp" reloadable="true">
    <Realm
        className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm"
        driverName="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
        connectionURL="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433;DatabaseName=myDB;SelectMethod=Cursor;"
        connectionName="username" connectionPassword="password"
        digest="MD5" userTable="users" userNameCol="userid" userCredCol="userpassword"
        userRoleTable="user_roles" roleNameCol="rolename"
    />

Help needed in using the DocCheck utility

Hi
Can somebody help me to use the DocCheck utility.I need to check that all the java files have the required javadoc tags and they are correct.
I have downloaded the zip file and I have been giving the following commands
c:\javadoc -doclet com.sun.tools.doclets.doccheck.DocCheck -docletpath c:\svk\jdk1.2.2\bin\doccheck1.2b1\lib\doccheck.jar -sourcepath<full path with the file name>
But I get the following error message : No package or class specified.
I also tried giving the following command:
D:\SegaSource\sega\src\com\sega\account>javadoc -doclet com.sun.tools.doclets.do
ccheck.DocCheck -docletpath d:\jdk1.3\doccheck1.2b1\lib\doccheck.jar User.java
But I get the following message:
Loading source file User.java...
Constructing Javadoc information...
javadoc: warning - Import not found: com.sega.account.address.Address - ignoring

please help
Thanks

I have never ran the DocCheck from the command prompt, so I really don't know how to do it, but I do run it succesfully using ant (build tool from apache - jakarta, if you use tomcat you already have it installed).
So.. if you do use ant.. this will help:
<target name="doccheck" depends="prepare">
     <javadoc
          packagenames="${packages}"
                destdir="${doccheck.home}"
          doclet="com.sun.tools.doclets.doccheck.DocCheck"
          docletpath="${doccheck.path}" >
          <classpath refid="project.classpath"/>
          <sourcepath refid="project.classpath"/>
     </javadoc>
</target>If you don't use it.. I guess I was of no help, sorry.

Href and target tags tutorial/help needed for use with an existing website

I have a website, (built through iweb), and an intro movie. I have spent a lot of time trying to understand the proper tags and how to use them without much luck. My goal is to have the homepage associated with my domain name load in a browser while at the same time have my intro movie open in a Quicktime Player window, play, and automatically close leaving the webpage visible. If anyone can point me to a tutorial or walk my through the process I would appreciate it.

Poster movie style. Requires QuickTime Pro:
Create an image (or a frame from your movie). This becomes the "poster". You could add text to it (Click to Play) in a graphic editor app to help your viewers or add text to the page under the image with these instructions.
Save this new file as poster.mov
It becomes the src="poster.mov" (source tag in the html code). Set its dimensions to fit your page layout.
Your "intro movie" will be your href="intro.mov" (href tag in the html code).
Open it with QuickTime Pro and then open the Movie Properties window. Click on the Presentation tab to see the choices. Automatically close option will close the QuickTime window. Automatically quit option will quit the running QuickTime Player app. This would be a better option as the browser should come back as the "front" application. You also want to check "auto play".
Use Save As (preserves fast start feature) and name this file intro.mov
In your html code for the QuickTime files you need to set target="quicktimeplayer" (this launches the QuickTime Player app instead of using the browser plug-in). It may also help if you use the full URL to both files in each tag (http://myserver.com/foldername/intro.mov).
One of mine as an example. It uses automatically close window:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/mycareerfuture/
View the source code to see the tag structure. My page uses javascript instead of the older object/embed tag code.

Help needed on using hardware tokens / Smart Cards for encryption

I need help in filling the following gap in my understanding
I know about
1. Using keys in Java keystores to encrypt/decrypt data (Signing, symmetric encryption)
2. Using Keytool to export a digital certificate to a keystore.
I need help in knowing
1. How the certificate stored in secret device is shared with java key stores. Do I need to use some special library.
2. Is the process of encrypting Secret Key bytes defferent from wrapping the key?
Specifically, I want to use iKey (USB based security hardware token) in my system, which says that it supports
�� The PKCS#11 standard library
�� The MSCAPI and CSP standard libraries
�� Using automatic certificate registration

> We have a current Server with 4 x 4 cores, 64 GB RAM, 6TB HDD, Windows 2K8 R2 and SQL Server 2K8 R2. On this server we have installed 6 SAP Servers(both ABAP and JAVA based). We want to install two more SAP servers on this machine but planning to use the Hyper-V Mode to ensure that there is no conflict. With this background here are my queries.
You should not run SAP instances on the server with the hypervisor (the OS running on the metal). If you want to virtualize, then do it for all instances.
Read
Note 1246467 - Hyper-V Configuration Guideline
Note 1570141 - Key Figures of Virtualization on Hyper-V
> u2022 Is it possible to take a Image of existing installation (6 SAP Servers and SQL Server) that we have done?
If they are running on the same OS you will always take images of everything.
> I think this was possible in VMWare.
So those 6 servers are virtualized already??
> The issue I foresee is that in this image the servers are using Machine Name as host. In the Hyper V mode the host name will change. So how will this work?
The safest way is to do a homogeneous system copy.
> u2022 Can I run the normal windows mode along with Hyper V. Basically we want to keep our 6 SAP servers running and for the two new servers create two hyper V instances and allocate 2 cores and 4GB RAM each. Is this possible? Or as per Microsoft on the root we should not run any server?
According to
Note 1246467 - Hyper-V Configuration Guideline
this should not be done.

ICan't ReInstall my computer please help. need to use Mac for school next week

I use my Mac for School and stuff happened.
Long story short.
1) I tried to reset my Mac Book Pro computer and I did.( by pressing option key and go to disk utility and erase tab and erase)
2) then I know I was supposed to go to Reinstall OS X Lion and I did but I quit. (took 10 hrs and plus my internet is bad and couldn't DL the other stuff)
3) I remembered that I had a recovery disk. so I inserted it and I went to the disk utility, dragged the Macintosh HD to the restore tab, destination, and it copied my recovery disk data? to my Machintosh HD and the name of it changed to Mac OS X Base System ( the name of my recovery disk)
4) and I tried to restart, shut down my computer, it sends me to the same Mac OS Utilities. Again.
5) so I went to Reinstall Mac OS Lion, agreed, and the download destination usually should be the Macintosh HD ( for me its Mac OS X Base System right now) but it said it is locked (because I'm dumb) and i can't install it now.
6) i don't know what to do now because this is not my computer that I'm sending this support from. and I can't use my original Mac Book. what should I do?
AND I NEED TO USE THE MAC NEXT WEEK FOR SCHOOL.
more info: MacBook Pro 13 inch Late 2011 ( got it for christmas)
OS 10.7.5 ( recovery disk is 10.7.2)
had no problems for 2 years.
Why is Internet bad? Japan. thats why.
For those who wonder why I wanted to reset/restore my MacBook Pro or, want to hear the long story:
I play League of Legends, Steam, Osu! on my Mac and it took alot of capacity (or space).
And League of Legends has thisthing called "Item sets" that when you save it, it doesnt save it in the client (or app), it saves the "item sets" data in your computer (took alot of capacity/space)
Not just that, and I had iPhoto but when i downloaded iLife to my mac, and after that, it said my iPhoto is damaged and it can't open.
And summer ended, my parents said If I fail my 11th grade, they are going to kick me out so I told them I'm going to reset my Mac to factory settings and get a fresh start, well this happened.

hi there! I got it back to work by buying the USB version of Mac OS X Lion 10.7
and since my internet connections are kinda bad, I'm not able to download and update it to 10.7.5.
but anyways I got it back to work.
All I can say is I suggest you to buy the USB version of Mac OS X Lion 10.7 from amazon or apple store.

Help needed to use USB 9481 relay device

I am new to LabVIEW so any help would be appreciated.
I am attempting to start and stop an instrument with the USB-9481 relay device. On my instrument, connecting pins 1 and 2 will start the machine, and connecting pins 4 and 5 will stop the machine. How do I program LabVIEW to connect pins 1 and 2, wait a determined time, disconnect the connection, and then connect pins 4 and 5? No power needs to be supplied since the 12V is already being supplied by pins 2 and 4.
Thanks so much.

Hi Josh, No problem. I took a look in the NI 9481 Operating Instructions and found this information to be quite useful:
As far as the DAQ Assistant goes, you can only have 1 DAQ Assistant per device, so you will need to add channels to the DAQ Assistant by pressing the '+' button near the top left (just below the Play button). This device is pretty simple, and I'm sure you'll be using it in no time.

Help needed in using oracle rules SDK

Hi,
For testing my rulesets using oracle rules SDK I doing the following:
1. Creation of dictionary, ruleSet.
2. Declared two kinds of globalVariable variables in my datamodel :
Final and non-Final.(Type of these varaibles are String and Double only)
3. Final globalVaraibles are used in creating rule's patterns.
4. Non-Final globalVariables are used in creating rule's action.
5. Functions are created for asserting globalVariables values and
returning non-final varaibles, since those are required as action
results.
6. In java code I am testing my ruleset (dict.testRuleSet()). Before
testing i am populating my final global variables (since these are used
in rule's patterns),
and updating datamodel.
The above procedure is working fine and I rules are successfully working.
Now, first of all i want to know if the above mentioned approach is correct or it needs to be reframed??
secondly, when i update datamodel with values (in java code itself) it
takes 4-5 seconds in updating it. This is the main issue that why it is
taking this much time??
any comment would be of great help.
Thanks in advance.

I will send up an alert for you, Colin. Even though I use iTunes for Mac, troubleshooting it isn't my forté.

Help needed in using the appropriate Trigger

I have a master detail form.DEPT block is the master block and Employee is Detail block.I need to display the message when user is
trying to enter the ENAME field in the Employee block(detail) when the DEPTNO in the DEPT block(master) is not equal to 10.
Messgae should be displayed when user trying to type the value but not when the user navigates into the ENAME text field.
What is the appropriate trigger that is useful here?
Thanks.
GSR

If the DEPT block is table based in the block's POST-QUERY trigger you can simply set
if :DEPT.DEPTNO !=10 then
    set_item_proerty('DEPT.ENAME', insert_allowed, property_false);
    set_item_proerty('DEPT.ENAME', update_allowed, property_false);
else
    set_item_proerty('DEPT.ENAME', insert_allowed, property_true);
    set_item_proerty('DEPT.ENAME', update_allowed, property_true);
end if;if the block is a non-database one then you can put that code in EMPNAME's WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger

Addon not starting - help needed in using ExtensionPackage tool

Hi,
I have deployed my addon using Lightweight Deployment in 9.1 PL00.
When starting my addon, I get the error: SapProject1 has stopped working.
What may be the issue?
I packaged my addon using ExtensionPackage tool. In the SBO compatibility tab, we need to give the version like 910.000.00. How should I check I my exact version number? In SAP application->Help->About SAP Business One, it shows version as 9.10.105, but in ExtensionPackage tool, I am supposed to write as nnn.nnn.nn. So how should I mention there?
Secondly, in the Register 32-Bit Microsoft COM DLLs tab, should I select the DLLs: Interop.SAPbobsCOM.dll and Interop.SAPbouiCOM.dll ?
Please guide me. I am trying to do it for first time.
Thanks.

Desperate help needed to configure WVC210 for remote access?

Hi, I'm new and desperately need some help on setting up my WVC210 for remote access.
I manage to setup and see images from my WVC210 using my home LAN via both wired and also wireless.
I have 2 questions:
(a) for wireless connection, i only manage to get connection to my WVC210 if i disable the wireless security from my router. But that means i'm opening my wireless LAN to everyone. How can i still get connection to the camera if i enable the wireless security from my router. (FYI: my router is 2Wire ADSL from Singnet Mio)
(b) how can i get connection to my WVC210 from outside or in my office? I type in the camera Fixed IP address (displayed on the front screen) on the web browser, by it shows a error page. Is there some setting that i might need to adjust ?
Pls kindly help me
Thank you.

Bernard,
For Item (2) is there any difference between the camera built-in dyndns updater versus the software updater? I am under the impression that the software updater is easier to manage.
The biggest difference for you is that the camera always stays at the same location, and the laptop goes with you. Every time you access the internet from a different location with the laptop the software updater is sending the new IP address to dyndns.com. This causes you to lose access to your camera because the FQDN doesn't point to your home IP address anymore. Once the dyndns credentials are in the camera (or router) there is no management needed. The device will automatically update dyndns.com with your new IP address as it changes, and you do not need to do anything.
For Item (3), are you saying port forward 1025 is it for the 2nd camera only or for both? Or is it 2nd camera use 1025 and first camera use 8080?
Here's an example of what I mean:
Camera 1: 192.168.1.210 port 1024. In router, forward port 1024 to 192.168.1.210
Local Access: http://192.168.1.210:1024
Remote Access: http://bernards210.dyndns.org:1024 (Example)
Camera 2: 192.168.1.211 port 1025. In router, forward port 1025 to 192.168.1.211
Local Access: http://192.168.1.211:1025
Remote Access: http://bernards210.dyndns.org:1025 (Example)
Camera 3: 192.168.1.212 port 1026. In router, forward port 1026 to 192.168.1.212
Local Access: http://192.168.1.212:1026
Remote Access: http://bernards210.dyndns.org:1026 (Example)
to access the 2 camera outside, do i have to have another dyndns host name or can i use the current one for both camera?
As you can see in the above example, the dyndns name remains the same for remote access to all three cameras. The only change is the port number at the end. Your router will translate the port number to the IP address that the port is forwarded to, allowing you to select the camera that you wish to view by changing the port number in the address.
I was actually thinking that the camera web browser can show 2 camera at the same time. Is it possible?
No. Each browser window will display a single camera. You can however opens multiple instances of your browser to allow viewing of more than one camera simultaneously. A better solution is to install the Video Monitoring Software that is included with the camera which allows you to view multiple cameras in the same window.

Help needed to use only SQR reporting with Oracle 10g

I have very old SQR reports (ver 2.28) that are still being used by connecting SQR to an Oracle7 DB. We have migrated the data from Ora7 to Oracle 10.2.0.4. The issue is that SQR 2.28 is not able to connect to Oracle 10.2.0.4. Hence I want to use the new version of SQR that is part of OBIEE.
I am not familiar with OBIEE and my interest is only using the SQR portion of it.
1. Can any one help me as to how to go about installing SQR portion of OBIEE on a Linux Itanium 64-bit box? My Oracle 10.2.0.4 DB is also running on the same box.
2. What are the minimum components of OBIEE I need to install to make use of SQR ?
3. Any other relevant information
Thanks.

Desperate help need with Document Listener

I'm working on a very cool freeware Java text editor, that is working beautifully, except for the code used to change the color of reserved words, etc, on the fly...
At the moment, I use a documentlistener. When text is inserted, I need to color some of that text automatically. However, when I try to call setCharacterAttributes in DefaultStyledDocument, it causes a runtime exception, Illegal State Exception (Attempt to mutate in notification)>
I understand how this exception is caused, but how do I get around it?

Thanks for the replies. They were very helpful, and I have now managed to sort the problem, although in a different way that involves using the key listening class you can add to containers...
The java editor is called j-Scribe, and is a text editor dedicated to java. I've designed it to be more user friendly than other text editors, with a useful interface. The code dispplay is all highlighted, and clicking on a brace collapses that section of code, to make larger classes easier to work through... There are also some nifty filemanagement windows, including a history pane similar to IE6, and one click access to all open files, and one click access to all of their save and close functions... There are wizards to automate creation of certain elements of code, and eventually a number of intelligent features will be added. The program makes extensive use of xml to store all of the information generated by the program.
I'm working on the alpha version right now, for release in about two weeks. The beta will be out three - four weeks after that, and the release should be late September / early October time...
If you're interested, e-mail me and I'll add you to the list for the alpha and beta test releases...

USB PC to PC: help needed to use it.

I am having difficulties using the USB PC to PC file transfer between two computers. I installed USB PC to PC, latest version, on both computers and connected them via USB cable. I also made sure that the folders are set as "shared", and accessable by "everyone". I can see the other computer, from Windows Explorer, My Network Places, Entire Network, "Microsoft Windows Network", but when I try to "Map Network Drive" or log on to the other computer, I can not.
Please, help.

Yes, if the drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
The USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered, so you may need use a powered USB hub with the 4 TB drive...even if it has its own power supply.
