74161 RCO ENT cascade issue in multisim

Hi all,
I am building a simulation of an old 70s design based on 74161s and I have had a lot of trouble getting a set of counters to operate according to my expectations.
In my search for understanding more I discovered a recent document that had identified an error in the 74161 multisim model related to the counter executing on falling edge of clock, should be rising edge . Unfortunately it did not solve my headache.
Essentially I have three 74161s in cascade - the RCO for the first counter nicely carries over via ENT to trigger the second counter (ENP is high). But, when the second counter's RCO carries over to the third counters ENT it stays high for a long period of time (the duration of the QA) and sets off the third counter to "race at clock speed" similar to the first counter. When I do the same thing but instead carry over to ENP (having ENT high all the time) the counters work as expected.
The old schematics I use as a base, as well as some cascade counter reading I have come across indicates RCO should connect with ENT and not ENP – then again reading the 74161 datasheet it states that RCO stays high during the duration of QA.
Question to the forum: is the model for 74161 in multsim even more incorrect than the clock edge issue or is my “three cascaded counter” design incorrect? Please find attached the multisim model.
I appreciate any insights.

Hi
Thanks for your reply and apologies for my late return on this.
Please find attached a zip file with the requested information and with updated examples files
* One case where RCO from counter is connected to ENP and one case where RCO from counter is connected to ENT. When connected to ENT (as it appears to be done in the orignal schematics p21, B4 to E4) the third counter starts to race at clock speed when RCO set ENT high (as can be seen in the attached simulation screen shot). This is not the case when connecting to ENP. Something wrong with the 74161 model?
* https://archive.org/download/ArcadeGameManualComputerspace/computerspace.pdf The pdf contains the schematics - see page 21, circuits B4 to E4. They should form a simple 16 bit binary counter that keeps incrementing until all of the output bits for E4 are all zeros and then it loads all the counters with preset value. In the schematics the rco is connected to ENT.
* My test cases (rco to enp and rco to ent) just simulates the circuits B4 to D4 - because it is at D4 where the issue occurs first in the chain (it also occurs at E4 - but not need to simulate; it is the same isse)
Any insight is highly appreciated.

  • Possible Cascade Issue on 11.1.1.3?

    I searched all forums for possible Cascade issues on the add-in and am not finding out anything. We're also up-to date with on the Essbase patches (server and client).
    The issue arises when trying to cascade, a spreadsheet is generated but is empty. Likewise, if I select 'One Workbook, Separate sheets', the same thing happens.
    We're on office 2007.

    Hi Siva,
    I think that these are questions that you should ask on the Infrastructure space since the guys there have way much more knowledge on installations. Additionally, I would suggest to discuss these questions with a consultant who is going to have broader understanding of your requirements.
    Regarding question number 1, generally speaking version 11.1.2.3 is considered to be an improved and more stable version of 11.2.2.2.
    Regarding question number 3, you need to provide more details like number of users per tool, number of concurrent users, volume of data per tool, requirements for High Availability or Disaster recovery etc…

  • TopLink 10g Cascading Issue

    How can I make the default read behavior of each Entity set to **lazyloading** in TopLink 10g?
    We're using TopLink 10g in an application which is being used by 1000s of customers everyday. I'm also looking to find a good and safe way to migrate from TopLink 10g as there are very few stuffs available about TopLink 10g and those who were using it already migrated to EclipseLink/JPA or TopLink 11g-12g. We also have to do the same, but that will be a long-term goal. Please share your experiences regarding migration from TopLink (10g).
    Although, for now, we need to fix a problem (which would be a quick-fix instead of migrate from TopLink 10g). The problem is; One of the TopLink Entity read also getting (querying) all of its associates (child Entities) which is causing too many unnecessary queries to the database. However, we solved this problem by using `ObjectCopyingPolicy`:
        ObjectCopyingPolicy objCopyingPolicy = new ObjectCopyingPolicy();
        objCopyingPolicy.setShouldResetPrimaryKey(false);
        objCopyingPolicy.cascadePrivateParts();
        someEntity = (SomeEntity) getTopLinkTemplate().copy(getTopLinkTemplate().readById(SomeEntity.class, new Long(someId)), objCopyingPolicy);
    The aforementioned code snippet is one of the resolution to solve such a problem. But, we'd like to solve this problem by configuration (persistence.xml etc.). There is nothing in the documentation, neither I found anything by googling it.
    Please let me know if you would require more details to answer this question.
    Good Day!

    First are you using JPA and a persistence.xml with TopLink (TopLink Essentials was the JPA provider I believe) or are you using native TopLink with a sesssions.xml?  WIthout entity changes to support lazy relationships (such as weaving if using JPA) lazy relationships will only work for collection mappings - but these are already set to default to lazy,  If it is JPA, you can configure your entity mappings to be Lazy through annotations or an orm.xml file and let weaving work on your entities, while if using Sessions.xml, you need to make changes to the entities themselves to support lazy relationships as well as set the mappings to be lazy.  This is called indirection in TopLink, and is described here: Understanding Relationship Mappings
    If you are using JPA and a persistence.xml, the migration to EclipseLink should be fairly easy.  See https://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/Migration/TopLinkEssentials for details
    Otherwise it may require package renaming and ensuring that the project was not using deprecated classes, but still should not be too complex.  Migrating from Native TopLink | EclipseLink 2.4.x Understanding EclipseLink has instructions and details.
    If this is not enough to go on, please give more details on what you have. 
    Best Regards,
    Chris

  • Cascading Updates in database

    Hi,
    I am using Oracle 10 XE, and using Oracle ADF with JDeveloper. I have some basic database tables that users fill in using forms from Oracle ADF. However, there are more complicated database table that rely on these basic tables. My question is when a user makes changes to these basic database tables, how do I cascade the users updates to the more complicated databases tables in Oracle 10 XE?

    depending on the specific of what you are going to need you should read about composite associations

  • Cross-computer site rendering issues in Firefox

    I'm having a problem with how Firefox renders a site we recently deployed at our company.
    Our site has a standard link list navigation set at the top - block display, floated left, height/width padding to fit, the usual. However, the navigation breaks to the next line when viewed on my computer. In a fixed-width layout, this becomes an issue. Normally, I would adjust the padding values to get it to fit on one line, but the odd part is that through most of the initial development for the site, the navigation remained on one line and was never touched or adjusted after being created. Let me further elaborate by saying that this isn't a CSS inheritance issue or cascade issue. I'd be posting in the wrong forum if that were the case. I know this because the site renders the navigation in one line on several co-workers computers while breaking it to two lines on mine.
    I attributed this to the 9.01 update as I had installed it a few hours before the navigation started breaking. I did an uninstall/reinstall of Firefox, system restore (in case it wasn't Firefox), and I even attempted to push the version back to FF8. However, I had my co-worker install the same updates through 9.01, and the site looks fine on his computer. Same for someone else's.
    TL;DR - Our website looks different on the same browser/computer setup.
    I poked around these forums a little bit and found a thread about the hardware acceleration setting "gfx.direct2d.disabled" and how it affects rendering. I switched the value to "true" and the site immediately corrected itself. However, I don't understand why this fixes the problem on my computer and why my co-workers computers (or anyone else for that matter) do not need to perform the same fix to have an unbroken experience. I went home later that weekend and my home computer also breaks the navigation into two lines.
    Anyone have any insight into this? Thanks in advance.

    No. We use standard system fonts for the entire site. Someone at the Mozillazine forums mentioned that the hardware acceleration feature triggers font metrics problems with certain system setups. Can anyone elaborate on this?

  • 4 input AND gate issue.

    So, I'm working on a clock design, and while testing the base counter after adding the buttons/MUX/DMUX, I came accross an issue that I can't figure out. The 4 input AND gate I'm using gives me an output with the voltage "UNKNOWN" when it receives 4 HIGH inputs. I have an identical counter in a basic implemention of the clock, and that works just fine. So, is this an issue with Multisim or my design? I've included the multisim file, I put rectangles around the problem area and the nearly identical circuit that works just fine. Help would be very much appreciated, I've already had two other people take a look at my design and they didn't see any problem with my implementation, so I have absolutly no idea what's going on.
    Help is very much appreciated! Thanks for taking a look.

  • Css layout fix

    I suspect it is imbalanced div tags that is causing the layout issue the following webpage is experiencing.
    http://www.canchair.com/
    While the ph.416.787.1709 etc information is listed to the right of the "quickship!" image, it is really supposed to be on the next line - to be seen right before the "| email:" information.
    Any clues on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated!

    A yellow tag in design view indicates that tag is unbalanced (missing the corresponding <div> or </div>)
    Unfortunately, the majority of errors will not be correctable in design view, you will need to follow the instructions/hints the validator gives you and go line by lin in the source view in order to clear the problems out.
    The good part is, many errors could be casued by a cascading issue due to your unbalanced div tag.

  • Photo booth camera not conected

    I keep getting "camera disconected " in photo booth i leave the computer in sleep mode most of the time.I have to restart, for the camera to work again then it disconects itself when photo booth has not been used for a while ?

    Any other camera applications such as iChat open?  I think the camera is attached to the USB bus, do you have any non-Apple devices connected to the USB bus that may not like the power drain of Energy Saver after it turns on (i.e. the machine goes to sleep)?  This can cause cascading issues down the whole USB bus.

  • BB Z10 EMAIL SYNC

    HI my BB10 is set up linked to my ISP email server and it works well except for one thing - As soon as I download my email to my computer, it disappears from my phone.. I need to save it on my phone so I can search when I'm mobile and refer back to old messages. If I have to go home to look up something, why would I have email on the phone?
    I need it to work exactly like the Torch did, Save it unless I delete it. I can live with the email NOT being removed from the server when I delete it but I ABSOLUTELY NEED it to be saved on the phone until I decide I don't need it anymore.

    jamesip wrote:
    I have the opposite issue. When I delete an email from my BB, it is also gone from my Gmail when I access it on my desktop. Can I make it so I delete emails only on my BB?
    At present, no. The workaround is to use filing rather than deleting, which of course causes other cascaded issues (e.g., you have to then, via other interfaces, work with those email items in the folder to which you filed them).
    jamesip wrote:
    Also related - how long do emails stay on my BB? Are they automatically deleted after a certain time? 
    Depending in the account integration method (e.g., IMAP versus POP versus EAS versus etc.), you may or may not have access to a setting to control it. The maximum timeframe, however, is a 30-day "rolling window" where items going back only 30 days will display on your BB (less if you can control the setting and have changed it to something shorter).

  • No eth0 device required to activate Matlab software

    So, MathWorks requires a local Host-ID in order to use their Matlab software. According to their docs this is how you find the Host-ID, but such steps did not work for me.
    https://www.mathworks.com/support/activ … ogethostid
    Also, when I attempt to start Matlab with a license file using what I thought to be the correct Host-ID I just get this error:
    License checkout failed.
    License Manager Error -9
    The hostid of your computer (000000000000) does not match the hostid of the license file
    (0024be323423).
    Troubleshoot this issue by visiting:

    Licensing error: -9,57.
    Which says my Host-ID is all zeros?
    If I attempt and use the Matlab Installer's automatic activation it will fail for this very reason (Host-ID being found as 000000000000).
    Error -2,007: Unable to activate your machine. The activation process cannot detect a

    following solution ID, to help resolve this issue: 1-661QJD
    I think this problem has to do with not actually having any "eth0" that is expected by matlab according to:
    http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/ … th0-device
    For instance:
    [branden@localhost net]$ ls /sys/class/net/
    enp8s0 lo wlp6s0

    Or crack open the thing that generates the Host ID (assuming it's not compiled) and replace eth0 with (probably) enp0s23 or whatever you NIC name is.
    I saw that in my research but was worried that actually changing the name of the device would cause other cascading issues. Will this be the case?
    Also, being quite new to Arch Linux, I do not have anything in /etc/udev/rules.d/
    Do I just create the file 10-network.rules from the link you posted?

  • Small fonts illegible in version 6 browsers

    Hi Folks,
    Can anyone explain why version 6 browsers seem to display
    small fonts (8 px or less) not as sharp as IE7
    in fact they are most of the time illegible and squashed..
    Bonus if anyone has a solution to this
    Cheers
    J

    Anything but points. Use px if you want, but be aware that px
    will not
    resize in IE without extra modification by the user. It will
    resize in any
    other modern browser, though. Use relative size metrics (em,
    en, ex,
    percent) if you are familiar with the cascade issues with
    them and can
    accommodate that in your styles. Use font size names (small,
    medium, large)
    if you can accept the limited sizing options.

  • So much for quality.

    Seriously! Is Apple even aware of these Lion problems? I purchased a new iMac barely a month ago and it's practically been rendered useless by Lion. Video is choppy with all my media players, wifi is dropping, scrolling is laggy, applications take forever to open. How long are we meant to wait for Apple to fix this mess? Or you know, give us back our $32.00.
    Brought Apple for quality and reliability.  Not impressed.

    >Video is choppy with all my media players
    Most media players are not Quicktime based.  As such if you don't upgrade your plugins and software for the media players, they may not be in sync with the operating system update.  Contact the third party vendor to find updates for your operating system.  Typically it is on their support website.
    >wifi is dropping
    May also explain why your are having video and scrolling issues.   WiFi is a complicated beast that has a lot to do with:
    1. Matching firmware with operating system.
    2. Non-secure connections can be hijacked by others.  Use WPA2 only connections.  If you have an 802.11b only connector that is wireless, replace it with a wireless to wired bridge that is 802.11g or 802.11n.   Apple's Extreme and Express that are modern have support for both, and have had it since 2007.
    3. Land based wireless phones can sometimes interfere, and so can unshielded speakers, microwaves, and bad circuits in your electronics. 
    4. Apple's own base stations have an advertised limit of 150 feet, but that's line of sight, and file cabinets, pipes in walls, and glass can all interfer and reduce the signal strength.  Signal strength within 3 feet weakens because of overlapping wireless waves for all wireless routers.    So in that area between 3 and 150 feet is a large happy medium for most.
    > scrolling is laggy
    On any network based software the wifi issues can extend to scrolling as information tries to load in the network based software.   Run the hardware test that came with the machine to eliminate possible issues with the GPU.  It is described here:
    Intel Macs
    A hard drive that is over 85% full can also lead to many system problems that can also lead to extended applicatin loads.       Long application loads can be because you are using the wrong system utility to diagnose your issues.  Backup your data at least twice, and make sure your Spotlight is not indexing.  If you are on Mobileme, see if Mobileme's sync or iCloud syncing is slowing you down by turning off all access to both.
    If you have network shares between computers in your home, see if the network share is slowing you down.
    You need to pair down your issues one by one and see if one is causing a cascading issue along other lines.

  • Hot Spot over Dial Up?

    Hi, I'm thinking of getting the iphone. I noticed they offer a hot spot feature which I assume can power the internet for my macbook.

    This is most likely a cascade issue. Some other rule with a
    higher
    specificity is interfering. Click in the link in DW's Design
    view and
    examine the cascade of rules in the CSS panel to see which

    Don't fall in love with custom classes. Go back to the
    tutorial and
    understand how to use Descendent selectors instead, e.g.,
    #foo a { ... }
    rather than -
    a.class { ... }
