Read write problems

I have a new macbook pro with 4GB ram and a 3.06Ghz core duo processor.
I use Logic Pro Studio with 2 Motu 896mk3's
after recording about 13 tracks I am now getting "disk too slow errors" After using activity monitor it doesn't seem to be a cpu or ram issue but disk speed maybe.
After reading forums it seems like my macbook isnt suited for recording this many tracks.... would a really fast firewire harddrive be better?? if so any recommendations?

Sometimes these messages actually do point right at the problem
The general rule of thumb is that the startup disk is least suited for working with streaming audio (or video, for that matter). The system (OS X) is also interacting with the startup disk while you're working in Logic, which of course has an adverse effect on playing back/recording of audio files.
Second argument against using the SU disk for streaming/recording is that the system can sometimes 'take over' the disk for certain background tasks you have no direct control over, and this can in some (rare, but always inconvenient) cases even disrupt or fail a recording session. An external disk is "free" from this system traffic and can dedicate its full speed purely to recording/playing back the audio files that are on it.
Having said that, if you have a 5400rpm disk, you could improve your track count by ± 30% by replacing it by a 7200rpm disk. Your Mac will become snappier too in certain area's.
My advice: get a FireWire external disk, and store your Logic projects there. Secondly, if your budget allows it, replace the 5400rpm internal HD with a 7200rpm HD.

Read/write problem with Datasockets.

Hi, I'm a newcomer to Labview, and I'm having a problem with Datasockets. When trying to create a 'Publish & Subscribe' socket between two machines it only works on one, the one whose dstp address is the local machine, the other being incapable of writing to this 'host' and displaying red LEDs, although it is reading from the host. Also I've only managed to set up these read/write connections using the right-click options, how is it done programatically? Any clarification on the issue (whether directly connected or not :-) would be appreciated. Many thanks,
Tom

Hi Lector!
This is normal behavior for DataSocket. You want to run a DataSocket server on both machines. Although you can SUBSCRIBE to a DS server anywhere on the network, you can only publish to your local server. We do a LOT of Datasocket work here, and this has never been a problem. It's a real security bonus, as well.
It's a good idea to split all your read and write functions. Although some front panel objects (knobs, particularly) can be controls and indicators simultaneaously, it's good practice, for a number of reasons, to NOT use both functions. I build "dummy" front panels for all my VI's which I distribute to all my colleagues who need to work with a remote instrument.
You cannot really appreciate DataSocket, till you've tried to rem
otely control something with PC Anywhere over a slow network! A bit of practice, and you'll wonder how you ever did anything without DataSocket. I'd be glad to work with you on any particulars. Good Luck!

Javacomm read/write problem

Hello all, i have successfully installed javacomm package in my computer and i can enumerate all available ports. My problem is between the read - write communication. By running the SimpleRead first and then the SimpleWrite i got a "Port Already in use" which sounds normal to me, so i connected 2 pc's with a serial cable and runned one of sun's samples on each.
Step 1. SimpleRead waits for data on COM1
Step 2. SimpleWrite(on other pc) sends some data from COM1
Both COM1's are connected with that serial cable but seems no data coming. Am i doing something wrong? I tried same thing with VirtualPC but still no data arriving.
Any help appreciated. Thanks

Hello all, i have successfully installed javacomm
package in my computer and i can enumerate all
available ports. My problem is between the read -
write communication. By running the SimpleRead first

Without any ambiguity whatsoever,
"Port Already in use" means
something else has already opened the com port and I can say the
COMM API. works because I use it all the time with GPRS board.
ie:
https://hyperview.dev.java.net/source/browse/hyperview/www/comm/SerialHandler.java?rev=1.2&view=markup
Crossing pins 2 & 3 will only redirect your output/input
but will not cause the the port to be in use Jos.

Read write problem

I had a code that was working perfectly until recently. Some part of the VI where it reads and write does not work. Does anyone have the patiece to actually go throught the code and help me. I am a beginer with LV.
When we make an exe using LV 7.1, all the source files are pretty much on the exe, correct? So, if I go and copy that exe elsewwhere, the source files should open correctly, right? I ask this because it seems that the files from vi.lib may have got displaced and hence it does not read/write.
Help required urgently.

You didn't post your code for anyone to look at but I'm goint to guess that you did not take into account that paths are a bit different in the development environment and in the run-time. If you use a function like Get Current VI's Path, in development mode, it will return something like c:\folder\example.vi. After the app is built, it will return c:\folder\app.exe\example.vi. So, to get the path to the folder, you need to do an extra strip path. This is an extremely common mistake and there is a knowledge base article (that I don't have the link to offhand) and there have been numerous posts with the exact same question. There are a lot of ways to handle this. The one I usually use is to put in an application.kind property node and wire the output to a case structure. Put the extra Strip Path in the Run Time System case.

Help! - Datasocket read/write problem

Here are two basic read/write datasocket vis... that do not work properly.
Start the DS engine, run both vis, modify the string array in read.vi or resize the write.vi window and you will see that the indicator display in write.vi is wrong.
Can anybody tell me why?
Thanks a lot for your help.

From what I see, the elements being written and read are not synched to the same iteration number, and thus are not array-indexed the same, therefore, you'll have a difference in the array index # for what was written and what was read. In other words, the DSS-read is not always at the same iteration # (index #) as the DSS-write when the write and read occur.
However, with that thought, you could remove all looping and simply DSS-write the whole array to your DSS-read. Then you keep the indexing equal on both ends. When you send and receive a whole array, no looping is needed, so the process also is quicker.
Well, that's how I see it, good luck with it, Doug

HD read-write problems recording more of 16 audio tracks

I've a strange problem that i don't have in digital performer with rosetta!
When i record more of 5-6 track...for example 16...when i stop the registration....logic is blocked for 30-40 seconds....and then it begin to create overview!
in this time i've see the hd read and write at 5 mb/sec....
It isn't normal!!! I've tried all the settings of audio driver and buffer....but nothing change
anybody can help me?!?
p.s. sorry for my bad english!

1 : Waht sample Rate are u using -
2 : I have disk Journaling on and record @ 96KHZ - and can do 64 tracks simoultaneously (split on 4 drives)
3 : Is your recording drive very fragmented if so defragment it
4 : Dont EVER record to your system drive - too much activity going on there
5 : Set your Max Recording time to 10 minutes in the "Set record path" dialog in Logic ( If you have not set the max rec. time Logic will "Freeze" all available space on the disk for the recording and that can lead to problems especially if u aint using a dedicated hard drive to wirte your audio to
6 : it is very important to have a dedicated drive to record audio to - being an internal SATA or Firewire 400/800 - as long as this drive is being used to record only...This has solved many problems for me...

Multithread read write problem.

This is a producer consumer problem in a multi-threaded environment.
Assume that i have multiple consumer (Multiple read threads) and a
single producer(write thread).
I have a common data structure (say an int variable), being read and written into.
The write to the data sturcture happens occasionally (say at every 2 secs) but read happens contineously.
Since the read operation is contineous and done by multiple threads, making the read method synchronized will add
overhead(i.e read operation by one thread should not block the other read threads). But when ever write happens by
the write thread, that time the read operations should not be allowed.
Any ideas how to achive this ??

Clearly the consumer has to wait for a value to become available and then take it's own copy of that value before allowing any other thread to access it. If it doesn't copy the value then only one consumer can act at any time (since if another value could be added while the consumer thread was accessing the common value then the value would change, affecting the consumer at random).
In general what you're doing is using a queue, even in the special case where the maximum number of items queued is restricted to one the logic is the same.

Read Write Problems, Javascript

Hello,
I have had problems with a simple procedure. The grand scheme involves a lot more, so my example may seem trivial but this is where I've narrowed the problem down to. I cannot read an image file using the File object and write it back out as an image. Here is my test function, my targetengine for the script is session. When using the BINARY encoding the replicated file is the same size and appears almost identical but it simply won't be recognized as a valid jpg
function readWrite(){
var name = "/c/indesign_scripts/Winter.jpg";
var f = new File(name);
var encoding = "BINARY";
if(!File.isEncodingAvailable(encoding))
alert("You're using an unsupported encoding");
f.encoding = encoding;
f.open("r");
var payload = f.read();
var f2 = new File("/c/indesign_scripts/Winter-1.jpg");
f2.open("w");
var bool = f2.write(payload);
if(!bool)
alert(f2.error);
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Matt

You may get a response here, but it will get more attention if you post on the scripting forum down the hall.

Hard drive read/write problems

I have three external hard drives connected to my iMac that are always on with the computer. Just recently, I started having trouble with permissions. Every day I have to go into disk utility and click "verify disk" to be able to write to the drive, if I don't do that then I can only read the drive. It's the same with all three of them! This just started a couple of weeks ago. What is wrong?
Oh! My recollection recalls that a couple of weeks ago upon starting the iMac one morning, one of my hard drive's name, as well as a .iso file that I have on my desktop, were totally wacko. Full of numbers and characters, etc. I'm wondering if my HD problem is caused from this?
I desperately need some help!

if running "verify disk" helps at all it's definitely not a permissions problem. it's a file system problem. when system detects a serious file system problem when mounting an external drive it will mount it as a read only file system. run "repair disk", not "verify disk" using disk utility on all the drives involved. see if that helps. and are there any errors when you run it?

Windows 7 application file read/write problems

I'm building a few programs using labview 2009 on an XP machine. I can build these programs and have them work fine with any windows XP machine. Recently I've gotten a Windows 7 machine. I've installed the labview runtime, and daq mx without any problems. The programs seem to run fine.
However when I have to read or write to files nothing happens. . For instance with one program I log data and output that to a TDM file with the other I read that data and do something. I get the dialog to save the file but after I hit save no file is made. Likewise if I bring a premade TDM file from another machine I get the open dialog box but no data is imported. No Errors are reported.
Trouble shooting steps taken: I've tried running with administrator rights, with XP compatability mode, in the windows XP virtual machine. Has anyone run into something like this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Good Morning. I'm having an identicalissue, but I wanst able to figure out this solution. In simialr fashion (LV 2009 on Win7 machine), I've typically written my executables to write data files to c: so when I deploy the software, I dont have to account for different names. On Win7, this is no longer possible. Can somebody please point me towards a way to define a path constant so I can write and read from a file in a known location without the use having to select a path? Sorry, Ive been looking all night for the solution, just havent been able to get it worked out. (I did instal the USI files with the Installer) I appreciat the thoughts.

Blob for binary file, read/write problems

Hi,
I am relatively new to this type of development so apologies if this question is a bit basic.
I am trying to write a binary document (.doc) to a blob and read it back again, constructing the original word file. I have the following code for reading and writing the file:
private void save_addagreement_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
// Save the agreement to the database
int test_setting = 0;
// create an OracleConnection object to connect to the
// database and open the connection
string constr;
if (test_setting == 0)
constr = "User Id=royalty;Password=royalty;data source=xe";
else
constr = "User ID=lob_user;Password=lob_password;data source=xe";
OracleConnection myOracleConnection = new OracleConnection(constr);
myOracleConnection.Open();
// create an OracleCommand object to hold a SQL statement
OracleCommand myOracleCommand = myOracleConnection.CreateCommand();
myOracleCommand.CommandText = "insert into blob_content(id, blob_column) values 2, empty_blob())";
OracleDataReader myOracleDataReader = myOracleCommand.ExecuteReader();
// step 2: read the row
OracleTransaction myOracleTransaction = myOracleConnection.BeginTransaction();
myOracleCommand.CommandText =
"SELECT id, blob_column FROM blob_content WHERE id = 2";
myOracleDataReader = myOracleCommand.ExecuteReader();
myOracleDataReader.Read();
Console.WriteLine("myOracleDataReadre[\"id\"] = " + myOracleDataReader["id"]);
OracleBlob myOracleBlob = myOracleDataReader.GetOracleBlobForUpdate(1);
Console.WriteLine("OracleBlob = " + myOracleBlob.Length);
myOracleBlob.Erase();
FileStream fs = new FileStream(agreement_filename.Text, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
Console.WriteLine("Opened " + agreement_filename.Text + " for reading");
int numBytesRead;
byte[] byteArray = new byte[fs.Length];
numBytesRead = fs.Read(byteArray, 0, (Int32)fs.Length);
Console.WriteLine(numBytesRead + " read from file");
myOracleBlob.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
Console.WriteLine(byteArray.Length + " written to blob object");
Console.WriteLine("Blob Length = " + myOracleBlob.Length);
fs.Close();
myOracleDataReader.Close();
myOracleConnection.Close();
This gives the following console output:
myOracleDataReadre["id"] = 2
OracleBlob = 0
Opened D:\sample_files\oly_in.doc for reading
56832 read from file
56832 written to blob object
Blob Length = 56832
My write to file code is:
private void save_agreement_to_disk_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
string filename;
SaveFileDialog savedoc = new SaveFileDialog();
if (savedoc.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
filename = savedoc.FileName;
// create an OracleConnection object to connect to the
// database and open the connection
OracleConnection myOracleConnection = new OracleConnection("User ID=royalty;Password=royalty");
myOracleConnection.Open();
// create an OracleCommand object to hold a SQL statement
OracleCommand myOracleCommand = myOracleConnection.CreateCommand();
myOracleCommand.CommandText =
"SELECT id, blob_column " +
"FROM blob_content " +
"WHERE id = 2";
OracleDataReader myOracleDataReader = myOracleCommand.ExecuteReader();
myOracleDataReader.Read();
Console.WriteLine("myOracleDataReader[id] = " + myOracleDataReader["id"]);
//Step 2: Get the LOB locator
OracleBlob myOracleBlob = myOracleDataReader.GetOracleBlobForUpdate(1);
Console.WriteLine("Blob size = " + myOracleBlob.Length);
//Step 3: get the BLOB data using the read() method
byte[] byteArray = new byte[500];
int numBytesRead;
int totalBytes = 0;
FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
while ((numBytesRead = myOracleBlob.Read(byteArray, 0, 500)) > 0)
totalBytes += numBytesRead;
fs.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
Console.WriteLine("numBytes = " + numBytesRead + " totalBytes = " + totalBytes);
Console.WriteLine((int)fs.Length + " bytes written to file");
fs.Close();
myOracleDataReader.Close();
myOracleConnection.Close();
This gives the following console output:
myOracleDataReader[id] = 2
Blob size = 0
0 bytes written to file
If I manually add the blob file using the following:
DECLARE
my_blob BLOB;
BEGIN
-- load the BLOB
my_bfile := BFILENAME('SAMPLE_FILES_DIR', 'binaryContent.doc');
SELECT blob_column
INTO my_blob
FROM blob_content
WHERE id = 1 FOR UPDATE;
DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN(my_bfile, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE(my_blob, my_bfile, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(my_bfile), 1, 1);
DBMS_LOB.FILECLOSEALL();
COMMIT;
END;
COMMIT;
The write to file works perfectly. This tells me that there must be something wrong with my code that is writing the blob to the database. I tried where possible to following the Oracle article using large objects in .NET but that (along with most things on the internet) focus on uploading text files.
Thanks in advance.
Chris.

myOracleCommand.CommandText = "insert into blob_content(id, blob_column) values 2, empty_blob())";
OracleDataReader myOracleDataReader = myOracleCommand.ExecuteReader();
This looks wrong, you shouldn't be using ExecuteReader unless you expect to get a result back. Try using ExecuteNonQuery to do the insert.

Read/Write problems with multiple connections using MySQL & Tomcat

hello all,
I am developing a web-based java application that runs on a 4.1 tomcat server and uses MySQL 3.23.52 as db server.
this program uses hundreds of tables with hundreds of rows each.
when two or more users are connected, we are experiencing several problems:
1. when a query is started, they get cross-results that come from both connections.
2. when inserting/updating (most queries are long and take a few seconds), sometimes data are crossed too, sometimes they are saved incorrectly but get no error message, sometimes they are not saved and get 'null pointer' sqlexception (but tables and queries are correct).
3. using SHOW PROCESSLIST and SHOW STATUS, we saw that MySQL server hosted no more than 3 max_used_connections, even when my.cnf parameters where set with more. when 3 or more users try to access the database, they get a bad handshake error until other connections are freed.
any suggestions?
thanks

I am not using a connection pool. I read that when two different connections try to access the same data simultaneously, mysql is not secure. maybe a connection pool could solve that? or maybe is it a mysql limit?
