6008USB: simple measurement of two temperatures

I have to measure two temperatures:
the first one outdoor,
the second one indoor.
I was thinking to use two common
sensors: AD590 for the outdoor
and LM335 for the indoor.
Temperatures must be displayed
in °C so I have to make
a conversion via software.
I was thinking to do as follows:
For the outdoor:
Input0 (as RSE), a 10k resistor
between AI0 and GND (so to make
conversion 10mV/°K)
For the indoor:
Input1 (as RSE), a 4~5k resistor
between AI1 and +5V pin;
LM335 between Input1 and GND
What do you think about?
Is it ok or it's too minimal?
Is there any alternatives do
you suggest to adopt instead?
Thanks in advance

Hello Sprice,
Browse the shipping examples according to “Directory Structure” and then select
DAQ to find the Traditional DAQ examples.
There a lot of examples that are written for counters (Counter >>
daq-stc.llb >> Count Edges (DAQ-STC).vi).
What kind of signals are your photons creating? Are they TTL compatible at a certain
frequency? You don’t care about overwriting
your buffer?

Looking for simple algor. for merging two arrays

Do anyone have a simple algorithm for merging two arrays where both arrays can be null or length=0

class Merger
     private int[] arr;
     public Merger(int[] pa, int[] pb) {
          arr = new int[pa.length + pb.length];
          for (int x=0; x < pa.length; x++) {
               arr[x] = pa[x];
          for (int x=0; x < pb.length; x++) {
               arr[x+pa.length] = pb[x];
     public int[] getArray() {
          return arr;
public class MergeMaker
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          int[] a = { 1, 2, 3 };
          int[] b = { 7, 8, 9 };
          Merger m = new Merger(a, b);
          int[] c = m.getArray();
          for (int x=0; x < c.length; x++) {

Is there a simple way to put two pieces of music together seamlessly? I just want a single, longer track.

The music is 3:14 long. I want to repeat it...seamlessly...withount a second or so hole between them. It's for slide show background.
I am definitely not a musician. But I figure I can do this in GarageBand.
Thanks!

OK... if it's the top right corner of the work space (the place where the track lies) where do I drag it to? Forgive me, but I'm not a musician, I'm a writer. To me, it's the "top right corner" there's no place for me to drag it to... except down or to the left.
FYI: The music is a very simple acoustic guitar solo. The medium beat is clear and the point at which I'd put the two pieces together is equally clear. It's a pleasant piece. Now you know as much as I do about the music.
Thanks.

Is there a simple way to merge two iTunes libraries from different drives?

I have an iTunes library or, more significantly, an iTunes music folder, on a hard drive I haven't used in a while. I'd like to merge it into the one I'm using now.
Is there an easy way to do this, and what about duplicates and, especially, variant encodings of the same title?

if you're on iTunes 9, the easiest way would be to drag & drop the contents of the (external ?) hard drive into the *automatically add to iTunes* folder inside the iTunes folder of the target machine.
you will have duplicates, which can be deleted later on (or kept and filtered using smart playlists).

Hello, I want to perform a simple task. I have two Adobe ID accounts linked to two different email addresses. One account i do not want to use anymore but it is linked to my main email account. the account i do not want anymore is still in its free stage

Hello, I want to perform a simple task.I have two Adobe ID accounts linked to two different email addresses. One account i do not want to use anymore but it is linked to my main email account. the account i do not want anymore is still in its free stage and i have not purchased anything with it. My other Adobe ID account is linked to an email i rarely use and don't particularly want to use. i have tried changing the linked email account to my regular one i use. But it obviously does not allow me because of it already being linked to my other non used obsolete Adobe ID account. Is there any solution to this?? Please help.

Error in Simple Adobe Form

Hi ,
I have gone through this below PDF
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0401535-f81c-2a10-0192- ffd41e8e8d59
It is Simple Adobe Form with two fields(Firstname and Last name ) not table. I am getting UI Interactive form but not getting PDF. I am using NWDS 7.0.15 and Adobe Live Cycle Designer 7.1.
Please help me out.
Thanks
Risha

Hi Risha,
In NWDS Web Dynpro perspective, when you create a project, you will be able to create an InteractiveForm UI Element in any view. You need to set the 'datasource' property to some context node with attributes. You open the Adobe Designer for this InteractiveForm UI Element by choosing the context menu option 'Edit'. You can create some form elemnts for it by dragging the attributes of the binded datasource node from 'Data View' to the form preview area. When you build, deploy & run your application after this, you get this form in the browser. You can now save this form as pdf.
You can refer to https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/user-interface-technology/wd%20java/7.0/adobe/how%20to%20handle%20table%20input%20and%20output.pdf (Using Table in Adobe Form)
Hope this helps you.

Error in Forms when creating simple form in c sharp

Hi
I've created a very simple Csharp form with two textboxes and one press button. It is linked to a fortran DLL (Salford Compiler)
When I compile and run the program the first time it all works well. But when I save the file and quit VS 2013
and then restart and reload the program I get this funny error when I try to view the form again.
Warning 1 The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG)) 0 0
I've tried deleting the Temporary asp.net files as suggested in one forum but to no avail. Any help much appreciated
Terry

Hi ProfTC,
By researching, I found this thread in StackOverFlow, which has solved this problem.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8269386/could-not-load-file-or-assembly-the-parameter-is-incorrect
The answer is below:
Depending on if your are running X64 you might need to clean up a couple more spots. Just cleaning up my user directory was not enough.
%TEMP%\Temporary ASP.NET Files
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files
This list will grow as if you have other versions of the framework installed.
So , you could clear these ASP.NET files in more spots.
If you still have problems, you could feel free to let me know,
Or if your project is related to ASP.Net, you could post your issue to the ASP.Net forum for better supports.

Reponse time issue with a simple qurey .

hi all,
i started facing a strange issue with the below query form the biging of the month. we have a DW system for a banking domain and in that our accounts table from the first of this month is taking a huge amount of time to retive the data. if i query a back dated data say 31st of may that would be '310509' it give the result in less that 5 seconds. this is a very simple query which i am joing with a transaction table.
i assume the reason for the change in query reponce time is may be tha data from the beging of this month had a datablock extantion and this block is corrupted . kindly let me know what i am thinking is correct or there is another reaosn for this.
Also let me know what resolution should i take to resolve this issue.
my database version is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod
Thanks in advance

The two objects "gtxn_dtl_v1" and "gacc_dtl_v1" seem to be Views. So, the queries are probably involving joins of other tables.

Trying to optimize this simple query

Hi,
I am trying to optimize this simple query but the two methods I am trying actually make things worse.
The original query is:
SELECT customer_number, customer_name
FROM bsc_pdt_account_mv
where rownum <= 100
AND Upper(customer_name) like '%SP%'
AND customer_id IN
SELECT cust_id FROM bsc_pdt_assoc_sales_force_mv
WHERE area_identifier IN (
SELECT area_identifier FROM bsc_pdt_assoc_sales_force_mv
WHERE ad_identifier = '90004918' or rm_identifier = '90004918' or tm_identifier = '90004918'
The result set of this query returns me the first 100 rows in 88 seconds and they are all distinct by default (don't know why they are distinct).
My first attempt was to try to use table joins instead of the IN conditions:
SELECT
distinct -- A: I need to use distinct now
customer_number, customer_name
FROM bsc_pdt_account_mv pdt,
bsc_pdt_assoc_sales_force_mv asf,
SELECT distinct area_identifier FROM bsc_pdt_assoc_sales_force_mv
WHERE ad_identifier = '90004918' or rm_identifier = '90004918' or tm_identifier = '90004918'
) area
where
area.area_identifier = asf.area_identifier
AND asf.cust_id = pdt.customer_id
AND Upper(customer_name) like '%SP%'
AND rownum <= 100 -- B: strange when I comment this out
order by 1
I dont understand two things with this query. First issue, I now need to put in the distinct because the result set is not distinct by default. Second issue (very strange), when I put the rownum condition (<100) I get two rows in 1.5 seconds. If I remove the condition, I get 354 rows (whole result set) in 326 seconds.
My second attempt was to use EXISTS instead of IN:
SELECT
customer_number, customer_name
FROM bsc_pdt_account_mv pdt
where Upper(customer_name) like '%SP%'
AND rownum <= 100
AND EXISTS
select 1 from
bsc_pdt_assoc_sales_force_mv asf,
SELECT distinct area_identifier FROM bsc_pdt_assoc_sales_force_mv
WHERE ad_identifier = '90004918' or rm_identifier = '90004918' or tm_identifier = '90004918'
) area
where
area.area_identifier = asf.area_identifier
AND asf.cust_id = pdt.customer_id
This query returns a similar distinct result set as teh original one but takes pretty much the same time (87 seconds).

The query below hangs when run in TOAD or PL/SQL Dev. I noticed there is no rows returned from the inner table for this condition.
SELECT customer_number, customer_name
FROM
bsc_pdt_account_mv pdt_account
where rownum <= 100
AND exists (
SELECT pdt_sales_force.cust_id
FROM bsc_pdt_assoc_sales_force_mv pdt_sales_force
WHERE pdt_account.customer_id = pdt_sales_force.cust_id
AND (pdt_sales_force.rm_identifier = '90007761' or pdt_sales_force.tm_identifier = '90007761') )
ORDER BY customer_name
-- No rows returned by this query
SELECT pdt_sales_force.cust_id
FROM bsc_pdt_assoc_sales_force_mv pdt_sales_force
WHERE pdt_sales_force.rm_identifier = '90007761' or pdt_sales_force.tm_identifier = '90007761'

Dynamic Drop Down creation using simple data types

Hi all,
I have got a requirement in which i have to create an iView which is going to have 6 drop down values and with in that 1 value is going to have sub values which needs to get displayed in the similar drop down fashion.
I have created a simple data type having enumeration of the 6 values and linked the same to iView with drop down by key which is working successfully. And for the purpose of sub values i have created a similar simple data type with two values and linked the same with a value attribute.
Well, can any one tell me the further process to proceed ?
Thanks in advance ...
Vipin

Vipin,
There are quite some steps to achieve what you need. Since you have both your DropDownByKey elements defined and bound to context elements, it may make sense to keep the Second DropDownByKey element invisible and make it visible only when user selects a specified key from first DropDownByKey. To achieve this, follow these steps.
1. Create an action with a parameter "key" of type string.
2. Bind this action with onSelect event of your First DropDownByKey UI Element.
3. Do mapping of parameter "key" in your wdDoModifyView with following code.
if (firstTime)
         final IWDDropDownByKey dk = (IWDDropDownByKey)view.getElement("DropDownByKey1");
           // Replace DropDownByKey1 with id of your DropDownByKey Element.
         dk.mappingOfOnSelect().addSourceMapping("key", "key");
4. Create a context attribute of type WDVisibility say "DDVisible" and bind to "visible" property of your second DropDownByKey.
5. Set DDVisible to NONE in wdInit().
wdContext.currentContextElement().setDDVisible(WDVisibility.NONE);
6. In onSelect action write this code to make second visible
if(key.equalsIgnoreCase("Two")){
     //Replace "Two" with your required value.
         wdContext.currentContextElement().setDDVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);
       else{
            wdContext.currentContextElement().setDDVisible(WDVisibility.NONE);
This should give the desired results.
Hope this helps.
Vishwas.

This question is for Adobe Customer Service, thanks.
Why does Illustrator on Windows 7, 64bit, take 30seconds+ to save a simple image comprising of two rectangles only (screen shot below)? I set up a document like this to test the speed, since I've been having trouble saving all documents - they hang, sometimes with the 'this program is not responding' message. Switching to CC is not an option.
If it helps, I can come down to the Adobe San Francisco office with my computer. I've spent a long time trying to resolve this without success.
Btw, Photoshop CS6 saves fine.

This should be totally simple, but I've not been able to find any downloadable widget or applet that will do this. Which leaves me with Excel. I have never used Excel, and the prospect of facing that learning curve simply to make a graph this dirt-basic is not appealing. Can anyone help?

I fear my previous post may have sounded rude, and I apologize if it did. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful for the suggestions, I was just 1)venting my frustration at how difficult it is proving to perform a simple task and 2) wondering aloud that isn't it remarkable that such a task should not have a simple software solution.
I also freely acknowledge my limitations in math and statistics, having never had anything to do with either of them since high school. I also know that there are plenty of programs that CAN perform this task, but it is amazing to me how user-hostile they are. If you assume that the user is coming to this with no particular math or stats expertise, the interfaces IMHO look preposterous.
Jeff, I took a look at Plot again, and did what you suggested. First I typed a list of 7 dates in one column, and a list of increasing numbers in the next. I couldn't paste it into Plot. So I went back and removed the month names from the list of dates, leaving only the numbers (thus excluding one of the two crucial pieces of information). This time it was easy to paste, and I was encouraged by how a graph instantly formed in more or less the shape I wanted. Of course the X axis was not labeled so there was no way of actually reading the graph, but it's a good beginning.
But then comes the interface. You want to know how to indicate that the x axis represents daily increments in the course of a month (or a year, or a week). Open Help and you get taken to the company home page (not usually what you want). Type in timeline, and you get nothing. Type in time, and you get Time Format. Right near the top it says "To convert a UNIX time to a Plot time simply subtract 978307200.0 from the UNIX time." That may mean something to someone, but it doesn't to me. Underneath this, there's a list of Time Format Tokes. Tokes? Underneath this, a long list of things like "%a, %A, %b" etc. Type in "year" and you get 3 selections. So you choose "Axis", and it says, "If your axis is a time axis you have to enter days:hours:minutes:seconds." No mention of the year, notice. I typed it in anyway, and absolutely nothing happened. Tried some variations, nothing happened. Enough.
Now, I don't doubt that if I spent hours on the Web with their Help, and a lot of trial and error, that I would eventually get a graph I liked. But I remain amazed that in this day and age software isn't easier to use. The simplest tryout with a novice would show a developer what would make it infinitely easier to use. Why not templates with various time axes available? Why not a question and response system. It seems like a no-brainer. Since the beginning of computers, the idea has been that you enter data, and then the software does something with it. But programs still come along that make it quite mysterious as to how you enter data--and then they don't do much with it, until you devote your life to studying the documentation. Imagine how popular Quicken would be if you could only "import" data, and not type it in, or if you had to input the monetary system every time, and explain that you were using the Gregorian Calendar--or Mac and not Unix for that matter.
I just used Craigslist for the first time on Saturday and found it a complete delight. Does exactly what you want it to do--faster, easier, cheaper, and better in all ways to what we previously had for classified ads. That's what I would consider a good program, and it amazes me how difficult most programs are, even to the computer-savvy. Again, this is just my expression of dismay, and is in no way intended to minimize the usefulness of this forum--which I use a LOT, and find easy, responsive and friendly. All best, everyone.
