Writing on a presentation real time for emphasis...how?

Is there an app that would allow you to draw/write/type (or even have a white board) on a keynote presentation that is running?
During presentations to clients, I need the ability to write (annotate?) on the presentation, just to make it more specific to the client and more interactive. In the powerpoint world, there are many apps that do this very well (such as Papershow). Is there the equivalent for mac?
thanks

How to get real time information about how many user are logged in and thei

I use tomcat as my server platform in Ubuntu for a war file.
I know in order to get real time information about how many user are logged in, we can count how many active sessions exist by a SessionCounter code. However, I have to permit HttpSessionListener in web.xml of tomcat. From other users' experiences, the configuration is complexed and has some errors.
Here's the link:http://www.stardeveloper.com/article...1112001&page=1
In order to get users' ip, in jsp, use request.getremotehost() or
request.getremoteaddress() by editing the jsp file.
I wonder if there's some open source software to use for these two purposes.
Thank you!

That url is missing a few bits. The ... in the middle doesn't help.

From other users' experiences, the configuration is complexed and has some errors.And have you tried it? The configuration isn't that complex.
What errors do you mean? Errors in tracking people, variance in the count? Probably related to internet issues and nothing you can do will alleviate them.

How to create a c++ shared library (.so) for linux real time (for myRio) with Eclipse to use in LabView?

I tried already these Tutorials and Advices but I didn't find a solution:

- and some more
I want use c++ codes on linux real time. For testing reasons I want to have a function that adds 2 values and gives the result.
I've done these steps:
1. writing a c++ file in Eclipse (see screensot 2)
2. building a shared library (.so) from my c++ project in Eclipse (with Cross GCC)
3. putting this file on myRio (path: /usr/local/lib/)
4. creating a VI that calls this library from Labview with a "Call Library Function Node" (see screenshot3)
5. Setting the properties for the "Call Library Function Node" (see screenshots 4-7)
After I run this VI i get this error message: LabVIEW: (Hex 0x627) The function name for the ... node cannot be found in the library. To correct this error, right-click the Call Library Function Node and select Configure from the shortcut menu. Then choose the correct function name. (see screenshot1)
I've tried a lot things to solve this problem but I couldn't find a solution. Would be very happy if anyone can help me. I guess that I have to edit my c++ code to export my function (symbol). But I have no idea how to make it. I also tried it with a dll file in the same folder but it didn't help.
Perhaps someone can send an example which works on myRIO.
Thanks!

can see it in the screenshot8 there is a function called "_Z8AddierenddPd" instead of "Addieren". I copied this name to Labview (see screenshot9) and it worked.
I'm sure that there is a way to compile the shared folder with gcc without decorations (mangling). But I don't know how. If someone has a recommendation I would be very glad!
Prepend each function declaration that you want to be available without name decoration with
extern "C" <your function declaration>
Or if you have multiple functions you want to export you can in the header file where you declare your functions simply use:
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
<all your function declarations>
#ifdef __cplusplus
#endif

Making task execution a reality, in real-time, for critical industries

Problem
Enterprise software systems like ERP identify what needs to be done, but fail to outline how these tasks should be executed, due in large part to operational processes which are typically locked in disparate procedural documents, forms and excel spreadsheets. This approach limits the visibility into internal operations, enhancement of management by exception, and predictive analytics.
In all of industries Mobideo targets, processes are managed traditionally with ERP software where the tasks performed are manually documented, a process which is error prone and time consuming. In the Aerospace and Defense industry for example, the Federal Aviation Administration concluded that documentation is the leading contributing factor to maintenance mishaps. These errors are specifically attributed to:
Failure to follow published technical data or local instructions
Using an unauthorized procedure not referenced in the technical data
Supervisory personnel accepting non-use of technical data or failure to follow maintenance instructions.
Solution
Mobideo’s unique solution gathers granular data to capture what is happening in an operational environment in real-time, thereby optimizing performance, cost, and compliance of operational processes. It does this by uploading the smallest of business elements in the formats they are found and converting them to a mobile application. Using SAP HANA, the platform enables visibility by creating personalized applications that guide users through each job task in a step-by-step checklist. This framework ensures quality in tough working environments and confirms execution of tasks at the point of service. Core Competencies

Any good Power Shell command or script to see connected users in real time for Lync 2013

Are there any good Power Shell commands or scripts that can tell you how many users are connected to a pool in real time so you can evaluate the current load. I have 3 FE servers in a single pool. We just started deploying the lync client to the users and
were curious as to how many are actually connected. I saw a number of home made scripts but really didn't care for any of them. I just want to find out how many users that are actually connected to the pool at a particular moment so we can see how many users
are really using the product.

Have you looked at Pat Richard's get-csconnections script?: http://www.ehloworld.com/269

NI LabVIEW Real-Time for Desktop PCs compatibility!

Hello,
I'm pretending to acquire the NI LabVIEW Real-Time Deployment License for Desktop PCs. But before that, I need to be sure that this will work with other boards (not from NI).
Currently, I still don´t have all the project details. But there's a possibility of one board be from other supplier.
Can anyone tell me this, please. It's very urgent.
Best regards,
Paulo Carmo

Hi Paulo,
I guess that you will be disappointed but the response is clearly no.
When you boot a Desktop PC as RT target, it loads with the basic real-time operating system (including drivers for ethernet, for harddrive, memory....). When you want to add drivers on this embedded system, it will be only possible to add National Instruments drivers such as DAQmx, DAQ, VISA ... The possibility to add others drivers (from others providers) is not supported.
Hope it will help you,
Regards

UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE not writing to file in real time !!!

Hi All
I have 3 statements and I am writing some thing to a file using UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE after each statement is over. Each statement takes mentioned time to complete.
I am opening file in append mode.
statement1 (takes 2 mins)
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE
statement2 (takes 5 mins)
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE
statement3 (takes 10 mins)
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE
I noticed that I am able to see contents written by UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE only after statement3 is over, not IMMEDIATELY after statement1 and statement2 are done ?
Can anybody tell me if this is correct behavior or am I missing something here ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

How to stop a thread in java 5 for a real-time system??

Hi,
In Java 5, thread.stop is deprecated. We need to modify some variable to indicate that the target thread should stop running. "The target thread should check this variable regularly........"
We are currently developing a simple real-time operating system using the basic features of java. It is running on top of SunSPOT (JAVA5). My question is I need to stop a thread in a scheduler loop of a real-time operating system. We cannot check it regularly. Otherwise it is not a real-time operating system.Is there anyway else to do this?
Thanks,
Qing

That's rather hard to answer. You say you are writing in Java, but you're writing an OS. BUt what's executing the Java - you need a VM of some form. Is that a real-time or non-real-time VM? How it does things ultimately controls how effectively you can do what you are trying to do.
The simple answer is that Thread.stop() is deprecated and that it will not stop a thread in all situations anyway - eg trying to acquire a monitor lock. But all Thread.stop does is make an exception pending on the thread, and as the thread executes it polls to see if there is an exception pending. When this happens depends on the VM: it might be after every bytecode; it might be when the thread transitions states (eg thread-in-java, thread-in-vm, thread-in-native) - it all depends. But it is polling - just the same as checking that variable - it's just implicit in the VM rather than explicitly in your code.**
The RTSJ adds a new form of asynchronous termination requests through the AsynchronouslyInterruptedException (AIE). But it only affects code that explicitly declares that it expects AIE to occur, and there are also deferred sections where the AIE will remain pending. Writing code that can handle AIE is very difficult because the normal Java rules are "bent" and finally blocks do not get executed inside AIE-enabled code.
So as I said this is very hard to answer, it really depends what exactly you are running on and what you are trying to achieve.
** Note: some people used bytecode rewriting tools to add this kind of polling as a post-processing step. Perhaps that is something you might be able to do too.

Hardware recommendation for a real-time camera

Hi All,
We are interested in using some cameras with LabVIEW real-time for some data acquisition. We are monitoring quite a large array of points for on/off signals (so a camera is easier to implement than an array of photodiodes). Our initial spec is a CCD, 640x480 chip and about 15fps. I'm guessing firewire or Gig-E as the interface as I've heard USB is not compatible with real-time.
Our plan is to develop the application to run under LabVIEW real-time on a PXI platform. We also hope to eventually deploy the system so we'd prefer not to use NI Vision (I'm not sure if this is possible or not). Similarly due to cost we'd prefer not to use the Embedded/Compact Vision Systems if we can avoid it.
Can anyone recommend a camera which they have used with LabVIEW real-time? I have no real experience with RT as yet so any advise at all would be a great help.
We are also hoping to deploy the system using a cRIO as the main hardware platform. I've seen real-time cRIOs (http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/208042) have Gig-E built in. Has anyone used a Gig-E camera directly with one of these controllers?
Thanks for your help,
Dave

!!!-Need help for terminating a Java thread in real time

Hi everyone!
I use J2SDK1.4.1 on a Unix platform.
I want to terminate (or stop) a running java thread, which is dealing with time consuming tasks, in real-time (for example: the delay before the thread is terminated can't beyond one second), However, I don't know which techniques I can use to make sure the previous (or old) running java threads have been terminated?
Could you please give me any help if you can?
Any suggestion or reply will be kindly appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks very much, jverd !
I do set a flag that the thread should periodically check !
Well, the scenario is like this:
1. the thread read line by line (using BufferedReader) string from a probably huge-size file
2. analyse each string read from the file if required (some strings may be omitted based on the user's operations), the analyzing process is a time-consuming task, and the analysing process may be terminated at any time the user want.
3. record only the strings that have been analyzed by the previous process into a recording file
The problem I meet is as follows: (Here, I suppose that it should take at least 30 seconds to finish analyse all the strings in a given huge file )
1. the user start the analysing process, and run it for only 5 seconds,then stop the analyzing.
2. the user start the analysing process again from the begining of the file(analyse the strings within the same file as previous step), and then stop the analysing process at 10 second. (it means, this time the analysing process is running for 10 seconds, still haven't finish analyse all the strings in the file).
Once I open the record file, I saw some of the strings in the recording file have been repetitively record for 2 times, and the repetitive strings are just the strings the analysing time from at 5 second to at 10 second.
And the repetitive times are depend on how many time the user start and stop the analysing process using the same file. for example, based on the above two steps, the user do the third step as follow:
3. the user start the analysing process once again, analyse the same file,too. And run it for 15 seconds
This time open the recording file, this time I saw some of the strings have been repetitively record for 3 times, and the repetitive strings are just the strings the analysing time from at 10 second to at 15 second.
So, I guess the problem is probably because the previous analysing threads haven't been terminated completely, or say they just are blocked or set as inactive etc., then when the next time start the analysing process, the old threads will be reactive,and rerun ffrom the last time they are blocked.
I hope you had catched what I mean, if you not, please ust let me know, I'll try to explain it again.
Thanks once again!

Reading excel files in real time

Hello,
I would like to have a labVIEW program which permits to read several excel files, and collect all data in a single excel file.
I know that it is possible to write a program which can read multiple files.
But I would like to know that if its possible to read files in a real time:
for ex. each time there is a new excel file to read, the LabVIEW program read it automatically and add its data to the final file?
Thank you and bests regards

As Sam notes, it is certainly possible to merge Excel Files (I've done it, myself). An oft-repeated Best Practice for Program Development, which I didn't understand nor start following until quite recently, is "Write the Documentation First". In this case, you want to think carefully (and specify in a Document, which tends to "clarify your thinking") a number of issues:
Where will you look for the Excel Files to be merged? [Hint -- it's much easier if they are all in the same Folder).
Where will you save the Merged File? Will it be in the same Folder as the Source Files?
How will the Merged File be named? This can have an interaction effect with the previous points.
What is the structure of the Source, and of the Merged, File? Is it "obvious" how the Merge is to take place?
Related to #4, are there Headers? Multiple WorkSheets?
How do you know when it is time to Merge? Are you checking for new files periodically? How often?
In some ways, these "structure" questions are trickier to design and thornier to deal with than simply reading data from two Excel Files and writing the data to a third (which I'm calling a Merge). Note that I'm assuming that you are really dealing with Excel files (.xls, .xlsx), for which I recommend using the Report Generation Toolkit. If you are speaking about Comma-Separated Variable (.csv) files that LabVIEW calls "Spreadsheets", the above questions are still mostly relevant, but your approach will be a little different.
Write yourself a Document, show it to us, and if you have ideas on how to do this, give it a try and show us your code -- we'll try to provide assistance if you "get stuck".

PS CS6: stroke color picker preview in real time not working

re: NEW color picker stroke color not updating in real time (previewing).
Is it me or has the stroke color preview been removed in CS6 or is there a setting that needs to be changed to enable it?
The problem: When I create a shape layer, press enter and then chose a stroke color from the color picker, I select a color but it doesnt update the stroke color until I press enter. I'm sure it used to change in real time as you clicked on the color picker panel before accepting it.
Any sugestions or ideas as to whats going on or am I going mad?
Further update: This is when creating a shape but using the new stroke feature in the properties bar at the top (the one which gives you the new fancy options like having a dashed, transparent or gradiented stroke) and not the traditional method of adding it as an effect. This still shows a real time update, but the new method doesnt.

Using Win7 CS6 extended, and following your instructions it works for me.
Border changes withn I click on color pallet with color picker.
Odd, same version/ O.S. here, thanks for that though Curt Y. Are you sure you're not clicking on the preset colours and actually using the color picker dialogue box.
I've been in a bit of a rush here at the office and appologise for not being clearer and posting a screencap earlier.
To clarify, its the Cyan dialogue box not the orange box I'm talking about (nice choice of colours I know ). The top right icon in the organge box with the colours in is how you get to it.

Embedding a countdown timer, that is linked to real time, into a video

Hey,
I'm trying to figure out how to do something I have never done and got no clue where to start.
What I am trying to accomplish is to make a 10-sec video that has a real time countdown clock to a certain part of the day (Ie: 5 hours and 10 secs left till 8 pm). Designing the clock is simple, what I cannot figure out is what program i should use and how to make it link to real time. Is this possible in after efects or do i need to use flash proffessional or something else. To give you a little bit more information, typicly I design ads that just run on a loop, this ad has to be different because it needs to run in a loop and somehow go and get the countdown according to real time and not just the videos length. (I've heard of somehow making a flash SWF file that either links to computer or RSS file, but I have no idea how to do that in aftereffects.) This is what i can find, but NOT what i want: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-ilCXXAQGA&app=desktop I want it to use real time for countdown.
The media player running this 10-sec video ad is apparently compatible with Flash SWF.
Any help is good and if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.
Thanks in advance .

Video is video. You have to use another app to overlay something else. HTML 5, javascript, Flash. Can't be done in AE.
