Using Front Panel Composite Video 2 RCA Jack on the HP m8000 Media Center PC

I have a HP M8000 Computer with front panel RCA jacks, composite video 2 and Left and Right Audio RCA jacks. I have been unable to determine how to select these jacks for inputting video recordings to the computer. Any ideas on how to use these jacks to input video from my VCR?

The front composite video jacks did not have software support for the release of this PC. The analog video software was not compatible with Windoze-Vista so there was no software given with this PC model that supported analog video input.

Can't scan using front panel of HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

I can't scan using front panel or laptop. I can't find the set up disc that came with the printer that I purchased almost 2 years ago.

Hello @Pierre1 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are having issues scanning. I'd like to help!
I'd recommend starting with a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

How to data log graphs using front panel data logging?

Hello I have a VI that collects data from DAQmx thermocouple readings and graphs the temperature vs time using a while loop to collect data and graph. I have 9 control operators that define the correction factor of the thermocouples.
I want to create a datalogging using the option under Operations>Data Logging
When I retrieve the data the only information that is present are the control operators correction factors that I defined. The graphed data that was created is not retrieved.
Is there a solution to show the graphed data plots that were created on the front panel? They remain unchanged from the last run of the VI or blank if I open the VI without having ran the program.
Thank you.

This is expected for the Data Logging in LabVIEW. If you want to record the signla data, use the Write to Measurement File Express VI. Here's a link with a walk-through:
http://www.ni.com/academic/students/learn-daq/data-logging/
The Data Logging from the Operate Menu is for recording front panel control(s), as you have observed.

I want to publish my data using datasocket connection on the net and I want to use Front panel binding. Can I?

I want to publish my data on the net.
I want to use front panel binding and I do not want
to write the code. Can I do that. What should I modify
in my datasocket server manager. The other question is, When I open my VI, I want to open automatically my DataSocket Server. My english is bad. When I open the LabView I also want to open my DataSocket server. How can I do this?

To use datasockets to publish data to be accessed via the web, see the following document.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/F58A6C2DAAADECB68625672400636145?OpenDocument
This document explains how you can create an interactive Web page with which users can view data from a remote acquisition application without the common problems of a client-server application. You use the Measurement Studio DataSocket control and Microsoft Visual Basic to create a software component that you can insert in a Web page. You then use that Web page to read, write, or share data with other applications across the Internet.
If you want to publish data but do not want to write any code, you should consider the web publishing tool available in Labview 6.1. This tool allows
you to create a webpage to be published from the the LabVIEW webserver on your machine. See the following link for more information on ways to easily publish to the web from LabVIEW.
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/E4E311FA046EE24586256B1F0074F39D?opendocument
As for starting the datasocket server when you run your VI, you can use the 'System Exec' VI to run the application. The exe to start the server is located in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\DataSocket\cwdss.exe
I hope this is helpful.

Publising front panels of not visible subvis on the web

High
my main program has tab object with 10 pages. Within the main program there are several subvis whose front panels i want to publish on the web.
The front panels of these subvis are not visible in the main program. Front panels of some subvis are displayed correctly in browser (IE, Firefox) but some not.
Fields of the object are empty or their fields are not refresh with new data (att. pict " array indicators").
The problem is worse if not visible subvi contains chart object. In the browser window data are moved out of the chart window (att. pict. "chart within...").
For monitoring front panels of the subvis i use MONITOR mode of the LabVIEW web server.
Any idea, hints or simple example is welcome.
Thanks and regards
Trajan

Connecting the chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O module to the X-Fi Extreme Mu

Hello to everybody.
Many pc chassis provide two audio connectors on the front side, usually for the headphones with microphone.
I need to know if I can connect the chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O module to the Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Music.
I saw that the X-Fi Extreme Music has the internal connector (named AD_EXT) to connect . Is there a pin mapping of the AD_EXT connector? Is it possible to connect the chassis-mounted front panel I/O module cable to the proper pin of the AD_EXT connector?
Thank you.

Hi and thank you for your response.
Unfortunatelly I actually haven't got a X-Fi card, because I need to know if I can connect the chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O module to the card before buying it.
For this reason I don't know what is the J you're talking about. Is it an internal connector avaiable in the X-Fi Extreme Music card? Can I use this J to connect the chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O module to the card?
Thank you.

Running executable as a service, the front panel doesn't display properly upon the second logon.

I am running a LabView executable as a service. When I logon the first time, I see the front panel correctly. When I logoff, the service still runs properly. If I logon a second time, the frontpanel never fills in. (I see the desktop through the front panel). The service still runs, but when I click on any menu, the computer freezes. Any suggestions? (Other than not logging on twice)

Hi chach,
I hate to say it, but I'm surprised it even runs once. If you check out:
this link
It says the following:
"The service must run without a user interface."
As the article mentions, you could still have a separate front panel that communicates with the service, but the service itself probably doesn't have an accessible front panel.

How do I use the front panel audio/video jacks?

I have a Pavilion HPE-480t desktop and can't find documentation anywhere on how to use the front autio/video jacks. When I hook up a device no software automatically loads. Is there a supplied program that recognizes them?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Based on this, your machine can have ONE of the following combinations at the front, I use the last one to answer your question:
15-in-1 card reader + 1394 + 2 USB + 1 headphone jack + 1 microphone jack
15-in-1 card reader + HP USB 3.0 SuperSpeed PCIe x1 card + 1394 + 2 USB + 1 headphone jack + 1 microphone jack
15-in-1 card reader + 1394 + 2 USB + 1 headphone jack + 1 microphone jack + Audio L/R + S-video + Composite Video
15-in-1 card reader + HP USB 3.0 SuperSpeed PCIe x1 card + 1394 + 2 USB + 1 headphone jack + 1 microphone jack + Audio L/R + S-video + Composite Video
Card reader: you can use it to read memory cards (normally from digital cameras or video cameras).
USB3: newer USB port(s) which can run 10 times faster than USB2
1394 or Firewire port: also normally for video cameras, many machines do not have it now
USB: normal USB 2 ports
Headphone jack: for headphone, earphone or external speakers
Microphone jack: For a microphone
Audio L/R: color coded for left and right audio channels, it does not say in or out.
S-video: Connect to additional monitor/TV, Many modern monitors/TV's now do NOT use this port.
Composite Video: also color coded (yellow). Connect to additional monitor/TV, Many modern monitors/TV's now do NOT use this port.

How do I make use of the Composite Video input jack on my HP pavilion Elite m9150f computer?

I have a Pavilion Elite m9150f computer that has front panel jacks labeled "Composite Video Input,and Audio left and Audio right input" They are all RCA type.None of the PDF type manual files mention these jacks.I would like to make use of them to input video from either my old VCR that has the same output jacks and or a DVD player that is also equipped with the same set of output jacks.Finaly, I would like to know what programs should I use to view the video that I connect to these input jacks? Thanks for any and all ideas.

If your m9150f still has Cyberlink DVD Suite Deluxe and the Hauppauge TV tuner installed, then you can use Cyberlink PowerDirector v6 to capture home videos from a VCR as MPEG2 movie clips (.mpg). The files can then be played using Windows Media Player or burned to disc using Windows DVD Maker. You can also edit the movie clips with PowerDirector or other video-editing software. MPEG2 video is not ideal for editing: there will be some loss of picture quality when the video is re-encoded. To minimize that, make your edited videos short and do not reduce the bit rate. Note: The jack on the back of the m9150f is Video Composite-01, the one on the front is -02. Be sure to select the right capture source in PowerDirector's Capture / Device Setup / Video Setup tab. I can't think of any good reason to use Composite jacks for DVD input as long as your m9150f has a functioning DVD drive.

HP Pavillion HPE-510f, Windows 7, 64 bit with front panel A/V RCA inputs

When i connect devices thru the AV inputs on the front panel, I cannot find an application that recognizes the device. For example, JVC Camcorder so i can playback or just playing music thru these inputs. Is there a driver that needs installling?

Hi Hodgewaco,
As indicated in the title, the front A/V RCA and s-video are input ports. To use those ports with your videocam you are going to need a capture program. ROXIO has commercial programs that should work with those input ports but check with ROXIO Sales. Usually ROXIO has a 30 trial period so if you are not satisfied the your can get a refund. Be sure to inform ROXIO about the exact model of camera that you are using, the output connection type and the format of the video stream.

Using Front Panel Audio with Fatality Professional

I have a query regarding connections on the Titanium Fatality PCIe.
I have an XFi XtremeMusic PCI card and am considering replacing it with the Titanium Fatality XFi card. A couple of reasons, I like the shrouded enclosure, I like the little XFi LED logo, I want to move away from PCI cards in my system.
But one of the main reasons is to allow me to connect my Intel HD Audio connector to the card so I can use the Headphone/Mic socket on my case. So if anyone has these cards can they confirm that they have an Intel HD Audio connector on them. If so does connecting the headphone to the case socket mute the speakers?
Cheers

Well, I don't personally have one, but I was under the impression that every X-Fi had one. I know my X-Fi Fatal1ty (original PCI version) included it, and my Recon3D definitely does.
Plus if you check their shop website for the Titanium Fatal1ty Professional than the specs page lists a 2x 5-pin connector for "Intel HD Audio Compatible Front Panel Header" so it most likely does.
I would assume it would mute the speakers only if your case is fully Azalia compliant. By that, I mean the standard (as dictated by Intel) involves the use of two normally-open switches - one each on the headphone and microphone jack - which are closed as a result of plugging something into them. Some cases have these jacks which means it can detect when you plug something in and respond accordingly, but others use cheaper (we're talking differences in cents - not exactly substantial savings, but when you do it thousands of times over it adds up) switchless jacks and simply report them as always plugged in.
Just remember to set up the X-Fi panels to mute the speakers when you plug headphones in, as well as switch the output to headphone mode. You can actually set those two options separately on X-Fis.

Noise when using Front-Panel headphone j

This message is for those who may experience noise in headphones plugged into a case's front jack. These noises would likely be heard if one uses a quality phone set with good isolation. (not noise cancelling type) and during quiet times, such as when no music or other audio source is being played, or perhaps when listening to programming with very high dynamic range and the frequent, very low loudness passages of music, etc.. There is no problem with the card. (I'm using an Xtreme Gamer card) The problem will be with the header panel on the case itself. You need to isolate the case ground from the other grounds coming in from the various board headers, such as USB, the sound card, etc. I accomplished this by scraping away the foil from around the stud landings on the panel module board. Of course you need to exercise care when performing such a modification but you will be rewarded with absolute, golden silence, when that's what you should be getting. Again, there is NO problem with the card.

If it is possible to remove the circuit board assembly for the front panel jacks from the case, you can see how the circuit foil "traces" on the board are connected. In my situation, and probably yours, you may find that the mounting screws that hold the circuit board to the computer case will also have the foil traces under them and that those traces will be a common ground to the rest of the circuits on the board. The problem arises because the computer case ground is at a somewhat different "signal" level than the grounds coming into the circuit board from the various "header" connectors, that is, the connectors you mate with the corresponding pins on your sound card, as well as the USB pins, if you choose to hook them up too. There is a great deal of strange noises that can be present in a given motherboard's circuits and associated grounds. All the ground connections from the headers coming into the board should only go to the individual connectors on the front panel. I cut away the foil paths where the grounds were all run together on the circuit board, thus isolating them from one another, as well as cut away the foil under the mounting screws. You may even have to cut foil from both sides of the board, depending on your model. You need to take care not to open up a circuit when making those cuts. A good, sharp Xacto knife or utility knife should work fine.
I found it strange that the designers of the board didn't consider the problem of "ground loops", which is what the problem is defined as. Ground loops, as you can see now, can happen when when a circuit or even separate components altogether, such as a computer, TV and HIFI system are all connected together. In the?HIFI setup case, hum results because the point of incoming cable ground for your TV and/or Internet are at a different 60 Hz voltage from the ground in your home's wiring,?to which your computer is connected for power. This causes a current to flow through the audio cable shields that is large enough to induce a voltage into the audio equipment. I've even heard of ground loops so bad that people have seen sparks when trying to hook up the audio cables between the pieces of equipment. Almost anyone who has a system hookup such as I described has run into that problem of hum when using their computer's audio into their HIFI setup. The only relief is to get some type of ground "isolator" that connects between the incoming cable and your TV and/or Internet cable modem. A quick and dirty solution is to use a grounding adapter in the AC connection for your computer and other equipment that uses a grounding plug. This, of course, is not recommended, but will kill the hum for now. I thought I would throw in the HIFI setup hum problem since, as I said, many people are suffering from that problem.
Even if the header grounds were all shorted together, the problem would be no where near as bad as having the case ground shorted to the header grounds, which was the way mine was made.
I know this is a looooonnnnnng winded post but trying to explain something like this in writing is not easy. Hopefully you will now have a better understanding of what I meant the first time, even though it was by no means a short post either.

[RESOLVED] How can I use front headphones and rear speaker jack as separate output ports?

My Optiplex 7010 has your usual onboard sound configuration -- speaker and microphone jacks in both the front and rear. Recently my USB headset (which I use for conference calls) developed a short and while I wait for a new set to arrive, I'm temporarily
using an old set that still needs mini stereo jacks.
So I plugged the headset in to the front jacks, and left the external speakers plugged in to the rear jacks. Unfortunately the Windows sound configuration for this system only recognizes one "High Definition Audio Device" and if I plug in the headset,
the external speakers stop working.
My goal is to have phone/Lync calls go through the headset, but all other sounds -- most importantly contact alerts -- go through the external speakers. Is that possible? OS is Windows 7 Enterprise.
[edited to close this question] The short answer is, you can't get there from here unless your sound card supports assigning a different device name to the front jacks vs. the back jacks, which mine does not.

Fairly sure that would depend on the specific sound card in the machine and the drivers and related software you have installed on your machine. By default I believe most sound cards are configured to report to Windows that you have one sound input/output,
so the same sound comes from both front and back depending on what you have plugged into them. In order to get Windows to see them as separate connections and allow you to send different sound output to each you'd need to configure that in your sound card
driver software.
For example, see
http://www.eightforums.com/sound-audio/37996-realtek-hd-audio-only-shows-one-audio-output-time.html which discusses setting up essentially the same thing as you're after on a machine with a realtek sound card, and includes screen shots of the software and
where to configure it. I don't know if your machine is using a Realtek card for sure, if not you'd obviously need the driver software for the card, but looking online it looks like the OptiPlex 7010's do indeed use them.

Use front panel as a button

Hello!
Is there any way i can make the whole front panel working as a button? I want to be able to click with the mouse anywhere on the front panel and it should be registerd as a OK click.
Best regards blyarn

Here, this should do what you want. It is messy and has no error handling/typedefs etc because I'm doing it while I watch football, so I'm not too concerned about my programming practices . But basically what it does is, the LED turns on and it tells my even handler loop that it is now on, and it stores the time it turned on in a shift register. Now, the event loop knows that any clicks on the front panel should send a queue message with the time of the button click. So, when the user presses the panel it queues up the time of the button press and in the bottom loop that message i dequeued and the subtraction is done. I know this may be a bit overwhelming with the handshaking so post back if you don't udnerstand anything. The reason I do it this way is because if you queue up a message saying the button was clicked and THEN get the time stamp for the button click once the queue message in the bottom loop is received, you could potentially have some time delay if processing is taking a long time. Then it looks like the button click took longer to happen then it really did. Does that make sense? I'm having a hard time writing it out clearly. Hopefully someone can translate this into english
