Force File Type and writeSpectra missing

I am trying to integrate software developed by a contractor into my project. When I load his project, I am missing two VIs. They are:
Force File Type
writeSpectra
Does anyone know what plugin or module I need to install that includes these VIs? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack Minardi

Hi jackminar,
I've tried searching for those files on my computer without any luck.  Is there a way for you to contact your contractor in order to see if he originally sent them?  Has your program ever worked upon getting it from your contractor?
What hardware, software, or instrument drivers are you using?

  • Dreamweaver setting wrong file type and creator codes

    First of all, I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.2 on an Intel-based
    Mac, with Dreamweaver CS3 9.0 build 3481.
    I have a site defined where I connect to my web server via
    FTP. On my server, I just upgraded my forum software to PHPBB 3.0,
    which created a new /forums/ directory. My plan is to use
    Dreamweaver to download that new /forums/ directory to my local
    site where I can edit the files. Inside the forums folder are
    several types of files, like ".php" files, ".htm" files, ".gif"
    files, etc.
    So, upon downloading the /forums/ folder to my local machine
    by dragging and dropping it (in Dreamweaver) from the remote site
    to the local site, I noticed that Dreamweaver insists on setting
    HFS file type and creator codes for files it recognizes, based on
    the filename extension.
    I've connected to the same server using the Finder and
    Transmit, and copied the remote /forums/ folder over to my local
    machine. Neither of those copies have files with file types and
    creator codes set, meaning they aren't actually set on the remote
    files and that this is indeed something Dreamweaver is doing on the
    fly as it downloads the files.
    I'm wondering if there's any way possible to disable this
    behavior, and just download the files like they are on the server?
    (File extension only). To make matters worse, on my Intel-based
    Mac, it's not even setting the proper codes, as you can see in the
    following image:
    http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/images/dreamweaver.png
    Notice for the ".php" document, it's attempting to set a file
    type of 'TEXT' and a creator code of 'DmWr' (DreamWeaver's creator
    code), but because the Dreamweaver developers didn't bother to take
    into account the byte-ordering differences between PowerPC Macs and
    Intel Macs, the codes are written in reverse: 'TEXT' becomes
    'TXET', and 'DmWr' becomes 'rWmD'. (If you're going to use
    low-level routines such as FSSetCatalogInfo() to set the file types
    and creator codes, you need to call CFSwapInt32HostToBig() on the
    OSType values before doing so, to make sure they're in Big-endian
    format).
    Anyone know where the conversion information is stored?
    Thanks in advance.....

    Creator codes are totally deprecated in snow leopard. as for a workaround you can use something like this.
    <pre style="

    set default application of file (the_file) to ("Main HD:Applications:Preview.app" as alias)
    end tell
    end tell
    end repeat
    end open</pre>
    save it as an application and drop files onto it to set them to open with Preview.

  • HT5409 I asked if AVCHD files can be played on Mac and the support site says to simply click on the icon and quick time will play it. A big lie. Just say it won't support the file type and tell us what apps to get.

    I asked if AVCHD files can be played on Mac and the support site says to simply click on the icon and quick time will play it. A big lie. Just say it won't support the file type and tell us what apps to get. anybody?

    I also had issues opening AVCHD files on case-sensitive filesystems.
    You can try these steps to solve the issue:
    Right click on the AVCHD file and select 'Show Package Contents'
    Right click on the BDMV file and select 'Show Package Contents'
    Rename index.bdm to INDEX.BDM (it seems that all files in the BDMV folder should be in UPPERCASE for Quicktime to open the AVCHD file).
    Go back twice and try again to double-click on the AVCHD file (Quicktime should open a window showing the multiple clips, as expected).

  • Saving multiple file types and sizes

    I design logos using Illustrator. After the design is approved I need to save it in multiple different file types and sizes. (ie. Jpg Hi, Med, Lo; tif; eps; pdf)
    Does anyone know of a script that can do this?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    I don't know of an existing script that does exactly this. You could make one though. Saving an Illustrator document to both 'eps' and 'pdf' formats is very straight forward once you know which options you want. Personally I would use Photoshop to create the required 'jpegs' Illustrator does not export to any given resolution only scaling at 72dpi… Open either the 'eps' or 'pdf' in Photoshop resize and save 3 times.

  • My download was an unknown file type and cannot be opened

    my download was an unknown file type and cannot be opened

    Sounds like the file extension was dropped when you saved your converted document.  Make sure that the .docx (Word) or .xlsx (Excel) extension appears after your file name when saving your document.
    You should be able to rename the document you already converted by adding the appropriate extension.  The file should then open as expected.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • Nano3rdgen Copying playlist from itunes to ipod and it says it can't copy certain songs to ipod cos of file type.These problem songs all from same album, all ACC file type and all copied fine when I copied the album itself few weeks ago-help!

    When copying playlist from itunes to nano3rd message comes saying 9 of songs can't be copied to ipod cos of file type. These 9 are all from same album, all ACC and all copied fine when I copied the album itselm some weeks ago.  Rest of playlist was ACC too.  P.S. album is a CD-R copied version-is this an issue? HELP I AM DESPAIRING!

    I never laughed in all my life. Here I was, inserting the cd Dance with Me, thinking it's not going to copy the whole thing. yeah, right.
    Sure, it prompted me, Do I want to replace the songs, so of course I said "no, don't replace the songs". and guess what it did. It copied the whole cd (at least I got my two songs).
    I went into the itunes library, and sure enough, all the songs were there twice. So what did my intelligent brain think of? I just unchecked the doubled songs and stuck my ipod into my computer and it synched up and I got what I wanted.
    Now what did I do wrong when it prompted me. I clicked on "don't replace" and it replaced them anyway.
    Am I dumb? or is itunes stupid?
    thanks, Melody

  • Quicktime refuses to release file type and icon associations

    Has anyone else had this problem and how do I fix it?
    Changing the preferences doesn't fix it. File type associations in windows doesn't fix it. Help?!

    Ok, I kept getting nagged to upgrade QuickTime. So I did. Now QuickTime 7.4.1 has hijacked ALL my Windows image file associations, and won't give any of them back, no matter how many times I change QT’s settings. Why does QT even have a picture viewer? Who would use it? Or pay for it, as QT constantly nags you to do? Windows already has picture viewers, and there are thousands more free ones on the Internet. And why does Apple think that QuickTime is better equipped to handle my PhotoShop files, rather than my PhotoShop software?
    I'm really peeved! If I uninstall QuickTime, my web browsers generate errors. But if I don't uninstall, I can't use my other programs! So at this point, the product borders on being MALWARE. Why would Apple do this??? Will the next QT version also include MS Office, email, database, and text file association-hogging viewers too, so that my pain is complete?

  • What file type and codec should I use for creating a file to send to have an HDCAM copy made

    I'm prepping to take a video file of my film into a tape dubbing house to have an HDCAM copy of my project made. I'm using a PC, so Apple ProRes is not an option. What file type, codec, and settings do you recommend?
    I was considering MXF, but the highest quality codec is XDCAM 50, which only does up to 50Mbps (I think). I believe HDCAM works at 140Mbps, so I would rather not give them a file that's compressed to almost 1/3rd that, especially since the source is a 5K 5120x2560 project. DPX maybe? I've never exported DPX before because it's not an option on my copy of CS6 - maybe that has to be downloaded separately? I was considering a Quicktim in H.264 at 140Mbps, but I think that would mean some serious rendering for the tape house. I would like to be able to offer them a few different options and see what they prefer, but this is an area where my knowledge runs thin. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm hoping there's an industry standard that I can stick to.

    DPX maybe? I've never exported DPX before because it's not an option on my copy of CS6 - maybe that has to be downloaded separately?
    Your CS6 'Format' dropdown list should include DPX:
    Among the options you listed, DPX would be my choice.
    Be certain the dupe house can accept these files before proceeding.

  • Will EC support setting default file type and Open With from file menu?

    The default file types I can live without, but at least allow for Open With on right click from Windows Explorer.
    I currently have EC set in the Open With programs list, but EC does not comply for any files I opt to open it with (.css, .php, .html etc).
    EC open but not the file I choose.
    Also, even though the above use case is not ideal when if I do attempt an Open With when EC is already open, a new application session starts instead of attempting to open in the currently active app frame. It would be ideal to allow for single app frame, multiple files when Open With is employed.
    Darrell

    Hey Darrell,
    Thanks for the feedback. How Edge Code treats files is definitely something we know isn't ideal and it's something we're looking at fixing soon. There's currently a story on the Brackets backlog that adresses the Open With issue - https://trello.com/c/GhF1Bgf9
    And it based on howit ranks in that priority it looks like we could potentially take that into Edge Code over the next couple of months.
    This is definitely a feature that we think is important before we consider ourselves 1.0 so it's high priority.

  • Two curiosities:  file 'type' and Nikon window on Import

    Can anyone tell me why, when I run my cursor over an image file, it shows not only the dimensions, date, camera and size but also the "File type" as Jasc After Shot Picture? I uninstalled all Jasc programs and files after getting Lightroom. Still, that 'type' shows on recent imports that had nothing to do with Jasc. Where is that coming from? Can I change it?
    Second, occasionally a Nikon window opens when I hit 'Import' in LR that says the "default folder is unavailable". Where would that be coming from?
    I'm curious - neither seems like a big problem but I'd like to know where they are coming from . . .

    Sorry I omitted that. Desktop is Win XP SP3; laptop is Vista Home; LR 2.1. (LOVE IT!)
    I've searched everywhere with no luck to find some kind of default setting - can't find any reason for those two things I know this is kind of off the wall but am hoping someone might know.
    What does your image show for 'Type'?

  • File Type and Size for Video iPod

    I have the latest ipod that does it all, but I am a little concerned about the lack of control on the file type size. I can export a mp4 file with my own settings so it isn't such a large file but it won't load or play. I can convert the file but it makes it the standard file size which is larger than I want it to be. Isn't there a way to save my own settings and still have it play video?
    Thanks for any info from anyone.

    I want to save a higher and better compression and not such high quality settings as the ipod standards settings are.
    You can't.

  • Limit file type and size in Solution Manager

    Dear gurus,
    I'm writing an inquiry about the possibility of specifying file extension type and the size the user can upload to solution manager, for example in roadmap / configuration.
    I.e, we need to limit the user not to upload *.avi extension type, and limiting the size to 5MB.
    Thanks for help.
    Regards,

    Hi Bobby,
    Once you insert a file extension in table SADOCGENERIC,  after that, all documents with this file extension will be open and
    should be editable out-of-place with no edit restrictions. You'll just need to have a way to edit it in your computer.
    Kind regards, Fabricius

  • IPhoto library-file deleted - and originals missing in Aperture....

    Just moved my Aperture-library to my new iMac. Unfortunately almost all pics came from my old iPhoto-library which is gone now.
    I can't do anything but look at the pictures. Can't edit, export, share etc.
    When trying to e.g. export a file Aperture says 'The selected original image is either offline or not found. Please reconnect it and try again.'.
    Don't ask about the backup from Time Machine - that too is gone...
    Now what?
    Thanks.
    Thomas

    How did you import your old iPhoto photos? And with what Aperture version?
    Before the unified Aperture - iPhoto library has been introduced, it was possible to import an iPhoto library as referenced. This left all originals in the iPhoto library, so iPhoto continued to work, but Aperture could use the master files. Is that the way you imported your iPhoto library, with the master files in there original location?
    When trying to e.g. export a file Aperture says 'The selected original image is either offline or not found. Please reconnect it and try again.'.
    That is the typical error message, when Aperture cannot access the original files. And Aperture wil not be able to do anything with your images, unless you restore the missing originals.
    Just moved my Aperture-library to my new iMac.
    Where did you move your Aperture library from ? From an older mac?  From a backup?
    Did Aperture work on that old Mac and could access the originals?
    Do you still have that old mac, and is there any chance that recovery software could retrieve the missing original files on that mac?
    Sometimes Aperture reports originals as missing, even if they are managed inside the Aperture library.
    You can find out, where Aperture is looking for the original files, if you select some image files in the browser and use Aperture's command "File > Locate Referenced Files".
    In the panel that opens, you can see the path to missing files in the upper right corner below the thumbnail.
    What do you see, when you use that command?
