Using a Meter control in LV Touch Panel, and using shared variables that are custom controls.

I Just started using LV touch Panel module with an NI TPC-2106.
I have two differenct problems:
1) I was planning on using the "Meter" control quite a bit. I can set up the meter exactly how I like on the host PC, but on the touch Panel computer it seems to ignore my adjustments, mainly the start and end of the scale - i.e. I would like control to run from 0 to 360 with 0 straight up, using the entire circle. However, on the Touch panel computer it always puts 0 at about 7 o'clock and 360 at about 5 o'clock. I have also tried adding markers to no avail.
2) I am communicating with a compact fieldpoint controller. I can creat a shared variable that is a simple double with no problems. However, I have some shared variables that use a custom control for the variable type - bascially a cluster with a couble doubles, a time stamp, and an enumeration. It lets me drag the shared variable into my diagram, but it seems to ignore it when I run it.

Ipshita_C,
- I am using LV 8.6.1f1and LV Touch Panel 8.6.1.
- I have attached a simplified VI that shows how I want to use the meter. Notice that the placement of the endpoitns does not work correctly on the touch panel, and that it ignores the arbitrary markers that I placed.
- I also have included an XY graph control that displays on the TPC with margins around the graph area that I removed from the graph control.
- For the shared variable, it appears to be an issue related to the touch panel, not fieldpoint. I found another thread in this forum that mentioned that clusters containing Enumerations do not work in shared variables on the touch panel. I changed the enumeration to an integer and it now works fine.
In general, there seem to be a disappointing number of limitations in the touch panel implementation. My biggest concern is that I have not found any documentation from NI that lists these limitations. I seem to have to try things out and see what works and what does not work. Can you point me to a comprehensive list of touch panel modules limitations?

Hi imobl,
Thanks for your response, I forgot to add that the five 3uk sims we have in use, I have tried all of them none of them are recongnised non of them have pin codes, I even purchased four more sims Tmobile (original carrier) Vodaphone, 3 and giffgaff.

I have always been able to zoom in on my photo by holding the cmd and space bar, that changed and now it creates a box and zooms in on that area and I can't zoom out using cmd space bar. How do I change it back to the original way of zooming?

Select the Zoom Tool in the tool box and see if Scrubby Zoom is unchecked or greyed out in the tool options bar.
(you want Scrubby Zoom checked)

This is a message you got?
If so, as your post isn't clear, it may be a bogus message caused by a corrupt database.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

How to create a user using XML and specifying addional attributes that are objects

I'm trying to create a user using XML and specifying some attributes that are objects and not sure how to do it. How would I set the DirectoryUserAcl to Public?
Here's the xml file:
<?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>
<SimpleUser>
<UserName>mike2</UserName>
<Password>abc123</Password>
<AdminEnabled>false</AdminEnabled>
<HomeFolderRoot>/home</HomeFolderRoot>
<HasContentQuota>false</HasContentQuota>
<DirectoryUserAcl> ??? </DirectoryUserAcl>
<DefaultAclBundleAcl> ??? </DefaultAclBundleAcl>
<HomeFolderPolicyBundleAcl> ??? </HomeFolderPolicyBundleAcl>
</SimpleUser>

I figured out the answer:
<?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>
<SimpleUser>
<UserName>mike2</UserName>
<Password>abc123</Password>
<AdminEnabled>false</AdminEnabled>
<HomeFolderRoot>/home</HomeFolderRoot>
<HasContentQuota>false</HasContentQuota>
<DirectoryUserAcl classname="SystemAccessControlList" refType="name">Public</DirectoryUserAcl>
</SimpleUser>

So I have been using my iPad for a few months now and I recently noticed that the time display next to the playlist name in the music app that is supposed to display the total song count and time of a playlist is way off. I have a 25 song playlist that is around 2 hours on my computer appears as 2003 minutes on my iPad. It's a smart playlist limited to 25 songs if that makes any difference. Is this happening to anyone else? Any help would be appreciated!

Greetings,
First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

Yes and no. The gestures wont work so it just becomes a regular scroll-wheel mouse.

I am considering purchase of the new iPad and already own iphone 3GS, can I use my phone to tether to the iPad and use the phones 3G connection? This will allow me to buy the cheaper version of the iPad without 3G.

You can tethe, but depending on carrier you may need to pay for that option... I've decided to have my phone on one provider and my ipad on another so i always have connectivity... More expensive in the long run, but I need to make sure I am always "on" for work
YMMV

Can I use third party Windows CE based touch panel to control my system?

I want to use a WindowsCE based touch panel to control my system by connecting a CompactDAQ to it through USB and installing the.exe file built from LabVIEW and installing the CompactDAQ drivers.
It sounds doable, but I don't know if WindowsCE does support those .exe files or the hardware drivers or if there is something I can do to make it support them. I hope anyone has an idea about this and can help me.
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found the following statement at :
LabVIEW Touch Panel Module Getting Started Guide
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5868
"The deployment procedures discussed previously for NI touch panels are not guaranteed to work for third party touch panels. If the use of a third-party touch panel is desired it must met certain requirements in order for the LabVIEW touch panel module to properly work with it.
The LabVIEW Touch Panel module only officially supports the two operating systems and two processors that the NI touch panel devices are based on. The operating systems supported are Windows CE 4.2/5.0 and Windows XP Embedded, while the supported processors include the StrongARM, XScale, and x86.
Another consideration when using a third-party touch panel is that a LabVIEW Touch Panel Deployment License must be purchased for each deployment of an application developed with the LabVIEW Touch Panel module.
In addition, specific Microsoft tools must be installed on the touch panel target in order for the LabVIEW Touch Panel application to function as expected. The following Microsoft eMbedded Visual Tools need to be installed:
Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ SP 4 or later
SDK for Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PCs
Reference the Where Can I Find the Microsoft Tools I Need for the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module? knowledge base article to find links to the current Microsoft download sites."

HP7500A printer use of visual indicators below the touch panel

There are visual indicators named 'print' 'fax' 'scan' 'copy' 'web'. below the touch panel of my HP7500A multi function printer.
Initially I was thinking that these are touch buttons for quick access; however there is no functioning when I press them.
What is the function of these buttons or only for aesthetitcs reasons?

Hello KeroMero,
The words "'print' 'fax' 'scan' 'copy' 'web' " describes the functions performed by the printer.
They are not Buttons.
Touch screen display is the only place to interact with the printer.

Front Panel binding of shared variables very slow initialization / start

Hello @ all,
I am using a server running Windows2000 and LV 8 DSC RTS for datalogging. All shared variables are deployed on that server.
I am now facing the problem, that all front panels running on the clients using the network shared variables on the server take very long to sync on startup. First the flags on the controls bind to the shared variables turn red, after up to ten minutes they start to turn green. The panels use up to 40 controls bind to the shared variables.
All firewalls are turned off. I tried to connect the client to the same switch the server is connected to. Same problem. Does anybody have a clue?
Thx for your quick answers.
Carsten

While I can't offer any solution to your problem, I am having a similar issue running LV8.0 and shared variables on my block diagram (no DSC installed).
When using network published shared variables, it takes anywhere from 30 sec to 4 min from the vi start for any updates to be seen. Given enough time, they will all update normally, however this 4 minute time lag is somewhat troublesome.
I have confirmed the issue to be present when running the shared variable engine on windows and RT platforms, with exactly the same results.
In my case, the worst offenders are a couple of double precision arrays (4 elements each). They will normally exhibit similar "spurty" behavior on startup, and eventually work their way up to continuous and normal update rates. Interestingly enough there are no errors generated by the shared variables on the block diagram.

Use variables that are defined later on

Hi Guys!
I'm having some troubles trying to figure out how to use or call a variable that I define later on a website, for example
<cfoutput>#meta#</cfoutput>
<cfset meta=1>
The real case is that meta is being used by other functions and since it's already there I want to take advantage of it and recycle, so how can I call or use a variable that where I want to use It, it hasn't been declare yet?

This is a very very fundamental question about how programming & web apps are concerned, so best you read some docs:
