"How can i control the instrument with SCPI command by Borland C++ v3.1 using RS232 port"

"hi....
I've ever controlled some instrument by GPIB interface using Labview 6.0...it's really easy to implement .....but the problem is that i hvae to control those instrument under the pure DOS environment now ..so i have to abandon the using of GPIB interface and Labview ....then i choose the RS232 interface with programing the Borland C++ v3.1 and sending the SCPI command by bioscom()....but it got no response at all......so i am wonder if i can control those instrument by using RS232 interface and Borland C++ v3.1 to implement a pure Dos program????if yse,how can i do and is there any sample can be refer to ????
thank you for you help"

Hello Alvin-
We do not have any sample code for programming RS 232 in C on our website. However, you may want to looks at these links for general troubleshooting tips for serial:

How can i request the actual time code of digital video recorder, i am using RS232 interface for asking actual time code of digital video recording

how can i request the actual time code of digital video recorder, i am using RS232 interface for asking actual time code of digital video recording

If you have an RS-232 interface to the digital video recorder, it may be that you can send a command to the video recorder in order to get the time code sent back to your application - you would then read this as a string and then incorporate this data into your program.
The best source of help will be any documentation you have relating to the serial (RS-232) interface with the digital video recorder. This documentation should have commands that you can send to the recorder and expected response strings that you should get back from the device. This task should be straightforward but can often be frustrating without documentation about the video recorder. This will not be something that you can "guess" - past experience in writing serial communication ap
plications has shown that a good manual is your best friend.
Failing this if you have any source code for example programs that have already been written to communicate with the recorder, you might be able to extract the relevant ASCII strings and use them within your application. This is true whether you are using LabVIEW or a text-based language.

How can I control the enable/disable of command buttons in ADF JSF

I have been having a great deal of trouble trying to work out how to control the command button such that if the rowset is null then the button is disabled. The trick is that the rowset is not defined by the view where the command button is located. The rowset is defined by a view which has a "view" command button which displays the specific row selected, then this view has a command button that will display the detail rowset of the selected master row, but if there are no detail records I want the button to be disabled. How can I do this in ADF JSF? If I use a backing bean to make the determination prior to the page rendering then how does the backing mean method set the parameter necessary to disable the command button? Any advice or tutorial that I can use is most appreciated. My goal with using ADF JSF effort was to demonstrate that a complex app could be generated with minimum coding, I would like to keep to this concept if possible. Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
You can probably set the Enabled property of the command button using an EL that would evaluate and return true or false based on your requirement.
Check out these links for more information on using the EL.

How can i control the motor movement of stepper motor using a NI PXI 7330

Good day to all,
i'm a newbie in programming in motion control of NI. I just want to ask if how can i control the clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation of a stepper motor using NI PXI 7330 module. all i can do is the counter-clockwise rotation using the example vi (Simple one-axis move.vi) found in the examples of LabView 2009.
Thanks

what type of limit switch sensor are you using and how did you wire itß What are your MAX settings regarding the limit switches?
Good day SIr Jochen,

How can i control the I2C bus with Labview

Hi
How can i control the k8000 from http://www.velleman.be ( I2C bus) with
Labview.
all info is welcome.
[email protected]

if you are using Linux (and the Linux version of LabVIE W) it should be
fairly easy to use the lm_sensors ( http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/ )
libraries and source code to control a device connected to a PC's I2C bus.
Go here http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/hardhack.html to see how to tap into
the I2C bus of your PC. You may be able to apply info here to roll-your-own
on a MS Windows 98 / 2000 OS.

WIth LabVIEW how do I control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a RS232 to USB converter cable.

WIth LabVIEW how do I control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a RS232 to USB converter cable since I dont have rs232 ports. I have two instruments that I want to control in this manner. One is an Imada ZPS force gage with RS232 output. The other is a Panasonic HL-G103-S-J laser micrometer sensor which is RS422. I've done considerable LabVIEW programming using GPIB but I have no experience with devices like these. Any tutorial or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I understand that you want to control a device which having RS 232 port as output. If so, you can use an USB-RS232 cable from PC to device and you can control or monitor the device.
See this link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2669
Also, first check the device in hyperterminal and then continue to program in labVIEW. You can find the serial VI's in Instrument I/O.

How can I control the zoom on my mac mouse?

How can I control the zoom function on my mouse? In the middle of working on things my hand will rub the mouse by accident and all of a sudden the context within the screen is large. I have no idea of how to work this feature on my mouse and most times to get it to return to normal, I have to escape out of the work I am performing.

If you are pressing the "Control" button on the Mac keyboard, scrolling up will zoom in and scrolling down will zoom out. You can disable this if it annoys you through System Preferences > Universal Access. If you are using Mountain Lion, it would be System Preferences > Accessibility.
Uncheck the in the "Seeing" or "Zoom" section that says "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom". It may be slightly different if you have an older OS X version. I have Mountain Lion and am going off of memory on the older versions.

How can I get the variable with the value from Thread Run method?

We want to access a variable from the run method of a Thread externally in a class or in a method. Even though I make the variable as public /public static, I could get the value till the end of the run method only. After that scope of the variable gets lost resulting to null value in the called method/class..
How can I get the variable with the value?
This is sample code:
public class SampleSynchronisation
     public static void main(String df[])
sampleThread sathr= new sampleThread();
sathr.start();
System.out.println("This is the value from the run method "+sathr.x);
// I should get Inside the run method::: But I get only Inside
class sampleThread extends Thread
     public String x="Inside";
     public void run()
          x+="the run method";
NB: if i write the variable in to a file I am able to read it from external method. This I dont want to do

We want to access a variable from the run method of a
Thread externally in a class or in a method. I presume you mean a member variable of the thread class and not a local variable inside the run() method.
Even
though I make the variable as public /public static, I
could get the value till the end of the run method
only. After that scope of the variable gets lost
resulting to null value in the called method/class..
I find it easier to implement the Runnable interface rather than extending a thread. This allows your class to extend another class (ie if you extend thread you can't extend something else, but if you implement Runnable you have the ability to inherit from something). Here's how I would write it:
public class SampleSynchronisation
public static void main(String[] args)
    SampleSynchronisation app = new SampleSynchronisation();
public SampleSynchronisation()
    MyRunnable runner = new MyRunnable();
    new Thread(runner).start();
    // yield this thread so other thread gets a chance to start
    Thread.yield();
    System.out.println("runner's X = " + runner.getX());
class MyRunnable implements Runnable
    String X = null;
    // this method called from the controlling thread
    public synchronized String getX()
      return X;
    public void run()
      System.out.println("Inside MyRunnable");
      X = "MyRunnable's data";
} // end class MyRunnable
} // end class SampleSynchronisation>
public class SampleSynchronisation
public static void main(String df[])
sampleThread sathr= new sampleThread();
sathr.start();
System.out.println("This is the value from the run
method "+sathr.x);
// I should get Inside the run method::: But I get
only Inside
class sampleThread extends Thread
public String x="Inside";
public void run()
x+="the run method";
NB: if i write the variable in to a file I am able to
read it from external method. This I dont want to do

How can I control the order of playback on MuVu Mix (USB 2.

What determines the order of playback of music files stored on the MuVu Mix (USB 2.0)? How can I control the order?
Apparently it is not name order. The music titles are prefixed by sequential numbers. But that is not the order that the files play back.
I tried erasing all contents, then copying the files one by one to the MuVo Mix in the order that I want them to play back (name order). But that is not the order that the files play back.
By the way, in both case, I removed the ".dat" file first. (I also tried keeping the ".dat" file, to no avail.)

I did, and they confirmed (very quickly; kudos!) what you and I both expect: the play order is determined by the alphabetical order of the file names. The mistake was mine. I ass-u-me-d that the MSWin folder "Name ^" order was correct. I did not realize that it is not exactly alphabetical when the file name begins with a number (e.g, the track number). I had renumbered songs from a second CD by simply adding 00 to the track number. Thus, songs and 2 of the first CD are played after songs 08 and 09 of the second CD, as they should alphabetically, even though they appear in the order , 2, 08, 09 in the "Name ^" list. Klunk! Mea cupla!

How can I control the size of the af:InputText?

How can I control the setting of quicktime x internet connection speed

In apple website, They provides a lot of tutorial videos, But thanks to my internet low bandwidth, only low resolution of video can be seen. At the time of leopard(not snow) and quicktime 7, I found that if I select the bandwidth to "LAN" in quicktime control panel of system preference, the video size went up from 480 to 640 pixelin height (although more loading time..)
Are there any way to control quicktime bandwidth in snow leopard? (quicktime X or quicktime 7 for sowleopard)

Hi,
1. How much clients can connect to an access-point (maximum possible vs. recommended)?
ANS -
here is the link for Maximum possible..
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.0/configuration/guide/
c70ccfg.html#wp1085099
Recommended , Not more than 20 clients per AP.
2. Can I limit the maximum number of clients connecting to the same access-point in the controller gui? I only found how to configure thresholds for sending traps when a specified number of connected clients on an ap is reached.
ANS - Here is the software bug whic we had raised with thre development team..
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtj94508
Symptom:
There should be a way to limit the number of wireless clients that can associate to a lightweight AP.
Conditions:
Workaround:
3. How can I balance the number of clients between two adjacent ap which are using the same SSID?
ANS- You can configure the feature Aggressive load balancing on the WLC, this may help..
lemme know if this answered your question..

How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record?

I would like to use a popup to create new record.
I created a af:popup by drag and drop a VO from data control to jsff. then, I created a button and place a af:showPopupBehavior. I was able to popup window by click the button.
however, the window filled with the information from the 1st record. and when I select a record in table and click popup, the popup is filled with that record.
How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record by saving the popup?
Thanks

You can have edit and new buttons, in the PopupFetchEvent identify button source (using popupFetchEvent.getLaunchSourceClientId()) if new button clicked clear the binding using below code.
If you want to see empty fields, in the popup PopupFetchEvent clear the input component bindings.
resetBindingValue("#{bindings.<componentid>.inputValue}", null);
    public static void resetBindingValue(String expression, Object newValue) {
        FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        Application app = ctx.getApplication();
        ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
        ELContext elContext = ctx.getELContext();
        ValueExpression valueExp = elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext,expression,Object.class);
        Class bindClass = valueExp.getType(elContext);
        valueExp.setValue(elContext,newValue);
    }

How can i control background colors with items (registry.dat)

Hello Evry one.....

how can i control background colors with display items

The iPhone has a "remote" app that lets you control Keynote on a Mac, but not on another iOS device (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch).
There are some apps that let you control limited content on another iOS device - but the content has to be within the app. You might check out SyncPad - perhaps you can import the presentation into it and then control it on the iPad.

Apple TV uploads can take up to 30 minutes. I need control over this, because it interrupts my presentations. How can I control the time it chooses to do uploads?

Apple TV uploads can take up to 30 minutes. I need control over this, because it interrupts my presentations. How can I control the time it chooses to do uploads?

this is exactly the kind of response i expected, almost begged support to please not do this to me and yet there it is another meaningless, non helpful, standard template response to restart my apple tv.
this does NOT work which is why i am contacting you. i have tried all suggestions about unplugging and restarting and nothing works.
i live in an apartment and logon to the provided wifi wireless. so i do not have access to a router. however, management says they have talked with their provider and have been assured that the required ports are available.
remember all the jokes about how bad windows was because the solution was always to re boot. funny huh? how is apple any different.
i have been to the local apple care store and they are clueless, too.
should we just end it here and you admit that i will not be getting any support from apple on this one? i got the ipad because my kids were such big fans. it is difficult for me to share their enthusiasm.
at this point i am just curious about how you say you cannot support your own product so i can complete my file on this contact.
thanks...sorry it was you who got this problem..

How can I control the image size when I export form iphoto, the choice is too limited, I need to send a photo under 3 MB but if I choose high quaulity it is only 1.1 and i need to keep the best quaulity I can. Thanks for help.

How can I control the image size when I export form iphoto, the choice is too limited, I need to send a photo under 3 MB but if I choose high quaulity it is only 1.1 and i need to keep the best quaulity I can. Thanks for help.

Any image can only be as large as the Original. With a program like Photoshop you can UpRes an image and get it to a bigger size, larger files size as well, but the actual quality of the image will be degraded, depending on the UpRes system and the original quality of the image.
iPhoto is not the program to be doing that in and I don't think it even has that option.
So I suspect the image you are trying to send isn't much bigger than what you are getting. You can also try Exporting it from iPhoto to yopur desktop and see what size you end up with. If it is still that 209KB +/- file size then that is the size of the original image.
