A question about the multiple RS-232 ports with Labview program?

Hi Sir/Madam,
I am using ME9100/82 card from ICS electronics company to connect the computer with multiple
instruments. I first connect card with ME-D9/8 on which there are 8 RS-232
ports, and then use every port to connect one instrument. My question
are :
1. How can my program identify which port, i.e. what can I do in my
program to send a command to port 1 not port 2, for instance?
2. Can I send one command to the 1st instrument and the other command to 2nd
instrument at the same time?
3. I am using Labview to compile a program, and the version of Labview
that I am using is 6.0. How can I implement send several commands to
different instruments at the same time? Could you please provid
e a simple example in Labview 6.0 for the multiple ports communication?
4. Has any one used MKS 937A, MKS 600 Series and MKS 247 instruments? Could you please provide an example for displaying parameters in Labview 6.0?
Thanks a lot.

Under the Instrument I/O section of the Function Palette there is a indicator called VISA Resource Name Constant click on that and drag it to your diagram, right click and change it to a control. On the Panel this will automatically allow you to choose any ports available ( add in one for each port you want to use). Add in a VISA Configure Serial Port for each port and plug the terminal to the resource name into it then just add in the functions you what it to do (read, write, etc.) just as if it were the only port.
Also on the panel side go under file on the toolbar and select vi properties, select execution, and where it says preferred execution system select other1 to allow each port function to run parallel.

  • A question about the multiple source table for the logical table

    Hi All,
    I am to test, having two physical sources for an logical table, but it is failing as it is always getting data from only one table rather than two tables.
    !http://picasaweb.google.com/KSivaUS/OracleForumQuestions#5433761212378087346!
    Any suggestion or inputs would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Siva

    your 2 measure columns are in the same unique - low level??
    your connections look good.
    which is the result if you bring only the sales column at your report??is it the sum of the 2 datasources??
    try to repass again all your bussiness model.or make an other one.
    fisrt pass your fact with 2 sources and then your dimensions....
    as i can see you have customer_dim,do both of your columns have the appropriate key to this dimension??try to make a physical connection from both fact sources to this dimension as well as for time...
    if you do it in this way ,there is no possibility not to work
    hope i helped...

  • Questions about the difference between RFC calls with and without JavaProxy

    Hello,
    I have a two questions:
    1. Why is it more user-friendly to access SAP data in conjunction to plain JCo calls as explained here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/79/c6213e225f9a0be10000000a114084/content.htm? Waht's exactly the reason for?
    2. What's exactly the runtime shown in the picture here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/ed/897483ea5011d6b2e800508b6b8a93/frameset.htm?
    Regards,
    Armin

    Moin Armin,
    from what I understand from the first link, SAP is probably trying to say that it is user friendly because not everyone needs to be concerned regarding the actual JCo calls to the SAP backend. Rather they can simply work with the generated proxies as if they were actually working with the SAP Tables. The mapping, JCo calls and data transfer is taken care of by the Enterprise Connector.
    For instance, you can generate proxies of the BAPIs on your side and let 10 users work with the structures and tables and when it is deployed, the JCo calls are automatically taken care of (from the SLD).
    The figure in the second link just shows the runtime to illustrate that the native calls are hidden (again probably the same point I made before).
    I am not sure, just my interpretation
    Bye,
    Sameer

  • A question about the standard Nvidia card included with the MacPro

    I am using the Nvivia GeForce 7300 GT video card that came with my MacPro. When in Boot Camp running Window Vista, the Nvidia Control Panel says that the cards output through the digital connection is 1080p. Does this mean that if I play a DVD on the MacPro that it is upconverted to 1080p? Or, does it pass the video through at 480p?

    That is wrong. For one, I have the comupter pluged into a input port in the TV, not an output port. Output ports are for sending the TV signal to another device. Not to accept an input from another device. I am using a DVI>HDMI cable. When my set gets a 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p signal through HDMI it displays it as such on the info screen. Yes my set upgrades all signals to 1080p. I checked with the manufacture. They also told me that if the info screen says that a 1080p signal is being input to it, that is what it will display and if a 480p signal is being input that is what it will display. That is also how it works with my satellite receiver and my TV antenna. I also hooked up an old Toshiba Satellite Laptop to the set and the info screen displayed 480p. The Nvidia card in Apple Mac Pros and Macbook Pros does upconvert.

  • TWO Questions about the new TV shows rental with iTunes and Old Apple TV

    Hello all. Been trying to find some FAQs or something but think only got partial answers, so I hope I can get some here, using 'Glee' as an example:
    1. Can the (old) Apple TV rent new TV shows available? E.G. Glee Season 2?
    2. If I use iTunes 10 to rent an episode (of Glee HD), can I play it on my TV via my (old) Apple TV? Like in the form some kind of streaming?
    Thanks and cheers

    You may be right, I'm just thinking there is no movie rental "movie menu" option on the current Apple tv either, but one can still rent movies.
    Unless the tv show downloads are specifically designed to block usage on certain devices or there is something different about them, I would have thought that tv show rentals could be enabled at the itms end by adding a rental option on the specific tv show page, just as movies are done now.
    If I were in the US, I probably wouldn't be holding my breathe for tv show rentals but I'm not convinced I'd rule them out either.

  • I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school.  Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom.  The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher

    I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school.  Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom.  The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher #1 iPad to its AppleTV without effecting/projecting onto the adjacent teachers #2 classroom AppleTV?

    Not as such.
    Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.

  • Re: Question about the Satellite P300-18Z

    Hello everyone,
    I have a couple of questions about the Satellite P300-18Z.
    What "video out" does this laptop have? (DVI, s-video or d-sub)
    Can I link the laptop up to a LCD-TV and watch movies on a resolution of 1080p? (full-HD)
    What is the warranty on this laptop?

    Hello
    According the notebook specification Satellite P300-18Z has follow interfaces:
    DVI - No DVI port available
    HDMI - HDMI-out (HDMI out port available)
    Headphone Jack - External Headphone Jack (Stereo) available
    .link - iLink (Firewire) port available
    Line in Jack - No Line in Jack port available
    Line out Jack - No Line Out Jack available
    Microphone Jack - External Micrphone Jack
    TV-out - port available (S-Video port)
    VGA - VGA (External monitor port RGB port)
    Also you can connect it to your LCD TV using HDMI cable.
    Warranty is country specific and clarifies this with your local dealer but I know that all Toshiba products have 1 year standard warranty and also 1 year international warranty. you can of course expand it.

  • Few questions about the iMac I ordered.

    Hi,
    I ordered an 400MHZ,128MB,DVD-ROM,13GB,OS9,2FW,2USB slotloading iMac and while I wait for it I want to ask a few questions.
    1. Is there anyway to connect anything serial to it? I have alot of other Apple stuff like my other older Macs and Newton that I want to connect to it.
    2. Will Tiger run smoothly with 512MB? How about 256MB?
    3. Can I upgrade the processor? Like to a 500MHZ or better a GHZ?
    4. I have disks from my previous iMac (Slot Loading) will they work with this one?
    5. I need firmware updates! Where to get them?
    6. No floppy? Can I get an external?
    7. How much fater then a 604ev 300MHZ?
    8. Can I run a game that requires a 1 GHZ processor on my iMac? This may sound like a silly question but I really never tried it!
    9. Is it noisy like my PowerMac 8600/300?
    10. Can I upgrade it to OS 9.2.2 without MacOShelper?
    11. It has OS 9.0.4 can I just install OS 9.2.2 without the need of installing OS 9.1,OS 9.2.1?
    12. Is the HDD upgradable? To what?
    13. VRAM is going to be a problem! Can I upgrade it?
    14. Can I connect a VGA or APPLE monitor to it for an extra display?
    15. Will the built in monitor support 800x600,1024x768 resolution?
    16. Can I change the color of it?
    17. Max RAM?
    18. DVD-RW compatible?
    19. Internal floppy compatible?
    20. CD-RW compatible?
    Thanks all You dont need to answer them all just answer as many as you can please!

    1) you can get serial to USb adaptors. How well they work I can't vouch for. If its something that is replaceable by a newer version, its often cheaper to do so.
    2) 256 megs is about the minimum it will run with. 512 would be much better, 1 gig of ram would be best. see ramseeker.com and crucial.com
    3) fastmac.com is the only place I know of that does any upgrades on slot loaders anymore. its expensive, and not worth it. If you wanted a faster machine, you should have bought one frankly. a used eMac could be gotten cheap and be better in every way.
    4) depends. if they are form the same generation, then yes. If not, then it could be questionable.
    5) firmware updates are easily accesible from apples software download section of their support page. you need firmware update 4.1.9 for a slot loader, and it must be installed before installing OS X.
    6) Do you really need a floppy? Cripes, get a USB keychain drive. They are like 20 bucks and will work on any machine. Hold way more than a floppy to and are smaller. If you really need them, then yes, floppy drives are available externally.
    7) hard to quantify exactly how much faster, but a G3 is a much better chip than the 604 from all accounts I've read. you might find benchmarks somewhere like xlr8yourmac.com
    8) Doubtful you can run a game where you don't meet the minimum specs. Not just because of the processor speed, but some require G4's (G3's never made it that fast), or better graphics cards than are in that iMac.
    9) a slot loader is essentially silent when sleeping. There's no fan to make a lot of noise. S light hum form the CRT and the hard drive is all the noise there will be. Its one of the quietest machines ever made by anyone.
    10) I don't even know what macoshelper is, but upgrading to 9.2 is a pretty painless procedure and doesn't require anything other than the downloaded upgrade.
    11) you need 9.1 before going to 9.2 unless you have a full retail install of 9.2.
    12) hard drive i upgradeable to 137 gigs. 7200 rpm drives are fine. external drives have no limit on them.
    13) vram is not upgradeable.
    14) that model iMac has a vga port on the back of it, but its for mirroring only, not extended desktop.
    15) yes, the monitor supports both those resolutions.
    16) not easily. you'd have to find an empty case and swap out parts, which means exposing some of the stuff in the CRT, which you do NOT want to mess with unless you know what you are doing.
    17) max ram is two 512 meg chips for 1 gig.
    18) DVD-RW's should work, but any burned media can be dodgy. Note this is for reading only. There's no burner. You could upgrade to a burner, but it would be sssssllllllooooooowwwwwwww.
    19) internal floppy is not possible.
    20) cd-rw will read fine, but again, it doesn't have a burner on it. You could upgrade internal or external.

  • SUP - 2 questions about the CDB (cache database)

    Hi,
    I have 2 questions about the cache database and the cache groups:
    1 - How does the "On demand" cache group policy exactly works? I know that online cache group is without storing any data on the CDB making direct requests to de backend from the device, the DCN is based on updating from the backend, the scheduled is based on a time period, but I don't understand how the "on demand" exactly works, and why it has a time period too.
    2 - Is it possible to query the cache database table to check the data that SUP has stored? How can I do this?
    Thank you!

    I posted a similar question in SUP Apps project not too long ago and  Paul Horan provided this useful reply:
    Create a "Sybase ASA v12.x for Unwired Server" connection profile in the Enterprise Explorer.  I named mine CDB.
    : Host = localhost (or whatever the machine name is)
    : Port = 5200
    : Database name = "default"
    : User Name = "dba"
    : Password = "sql"
    Obviously, change the userid/password to match, if you changed them during install time.
    Connect, and you'll see the "default" database displayed.
    Navigate down through the Tables folder, and the first subfolder is labeled something like [#should_delete_sk ...]  Start there.
    You'll see a bunch of tables with the naming convention "D1" + package name + package version + MBO name.  These are the cache tables for the MBOs.

  • A few Questions about the iTunes Store

    Hi, I have a couple questions about the store. First of all, can I use an iTUnes card to buy games for my iPod? Second, if I buy games/songs using my account, can I upload those games/songs onto multiple iPods? I ask this because me and my sister own iPods, and we don't want to waste money buying the same game twice.
    Thanks in advance.

    First of all, can I use an iTUnes card to buy games for my iPod
    Yes.
    Second, if I buy games/songs using my account, can I upload those games/songs onto multiple iPods?
    Yes; the iPods need to be set to sync with that account or manually.

  • A question about the impact of SQL*PLUS SERVEROUTPUT option on v$sql

    Hello everybody,
    SQL> SELECT * FROM v$version;
    BANNER

    PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    CORE    11.2.0.1.0  Production
    TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    SQL>
    OS : Fedora Core 17 (X86_64) Kernel 3.6.6-1.fc17.x86_64I would like to ask a question about the SQL*Plus SET SERVEROUTPUT ON/OFF option and its impact on queries on views such as v$sql and v$session. Here is the problem
    Actually I define three variables in SQL*Plus in order to store sid, serial# and prev_sql_id columns from v$session in order to be able to use them later, several times in different other queries, while I'm still working in the current session.
    So, here is how I proceed
    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;  -- I often activate this option as the first line of almost all of my SQL-PL/SQL script files
    SET SQLBLANKLINES ON;
    VARIABLE mysid NUMBER
    VARIABLE myserial# NUMBER;
    VARIABLE saved_sql_id VARCHAR2(13);
    -- So first I store sid and serial# for the current session
    BEGIN
        SELECT sid, serial# INTO :mysid, :myserial#
        FROM v$session
        WHERE audsid = SYS_CONTEXT('UserEnv', 'SessionId');
    END;
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    -- Just check to see the result
    SQL> SELECT :mysid, :myserial# FROM DUAL;
        :MYSID :MYSERIAL#
           129   1067
    SQL> Now, let's say that I want to run the following query as the last SQL statement run within my current session
    SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;According to Oracle® Database Reference 11g Release 2 (11.2) description for v$session
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/dynviews_3016.htm#REFRN30223]
    the column prev_sql_id includes the sql_id of the last sql statement executed for the given sid and serial# which in the case of my example, it will be the above mentioned SELECT query on the employees table. As a result, right after the SELECT statement on the employees table I run the following
    BEGIN
        SELECT prev_sql_id INTO :saved_sql_id
        FROM v$session
        WHERE sid = :mysid AND serial# = :myserial#;
    END;
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    SQL> SELECT :saved_sql_id FROM DUAL;
    :SAVED_SQL_ID
    9babjv8yq8ru3
    SQL> Having the value of sql_id, I'm supposed to find all information about cursor(s) for my SELECT statement and also its sql_text value in v$sql. Yet here is what I get when I query v$sql upon the stored sql_id
    SELECT child_number, sql_id, sql_text
    FROM v$sql
    WHERE sql_id = :saved_sql_id;
    CHILD_NUMBER   SQL_ID          SQL_TEXT
    0              9babjv8yq8ru3    BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES); END;Therefore instead of
    SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;for the value of sql_text I get the following value
    BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES);Which is not of course what I was expecting to find in v$sql for the given sql_id.
    After a bit googling I found the following thread on the OTN forum where it had been suggested (well I think maybe not exactly for the same problem) to turn off SERVEROUTPUT.
    Problem with dbms_xplan.display_cursor
    This was precisely what I did
    SET SERVEROUTPUT OFFafter that I repeated the whole procedure and this time everything worked pretty well as expected. I checked SQL*Plus documentation for SERVEROUTPUT
    and also v$session page, yet I didn't find anything indicating that SERVEROUTPUT should be switched off whenever views such as v$sql, v$session
    are queired. I don't really understand the link in terms of impact that one can have on the other or better to say rather, why there is an impact
    Could anyone kindly make some clarification?
    thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Dariyoosh

    Hi Dariyoosh,
    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON has the effect of executing dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement. Not only related to system view.
    Here below what Tom Kyte is explaining in this page:
    Now, sqlplus sees this functionality and says "hey, would not it be nice for me to dump this buffer to screen for the user?". So, they added the SQLPlus command "set serveroutput on" which does two things
    1) it tells SQLPLUS you would like it <b>to execute dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement</b>. You would like it to do this network rounding after each call. You would like this extra overhead to take place (think of an install script with hundreds/thousands of statements to be executed -- perhaps, just perhaps you don't want this extra call after every call)
    2) SQLPLUS automatically calls the dbms_output API "enable" to turn on the buffering that happens in the package.Regards.

  • Some questions about the integration between BIEE and EBS

    Hi, dear,
    I'm a new bie of BIEE. In these days, have a look about BIEE architecture and the BIEE components. In the next project, there are some work about BIEE development based on EBS application. I have some questions about the integration :
    1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?
    2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?
    3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?
    4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?
    could anyone give some guide for me? I'm very appreciated if you can also give any other information.
    Thanks in advance.

    1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?You, shud consider OBI Application here which uses OBIEE as a reporting tool with different pre-built modules. Both 10g & 11g comes with different versions of BI apps which supports sources like Siebel CRM, EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards etc..
    2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?Its independent of any soure. This is OBIEE modeling to create RPD with all the layers. If you build it from scratch then you will require to create all the layers else if BI Apps is used then you will get pre-built RPD along with other pre-built components.
    3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?BI apps comes with pre-built ETL mapping to use with the tools majorly with Informatica. Only BI Apps 7.9.5.2 comes with ODI but oracle has plans to have only ODI for any further releases.
    4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?User will still see old data because its good to turn on Cache and purge it after every load.

  • Two questions about the new iWeb

    Hi
    I've got two questions about the new iWeb.
    1. Is it possible to blog online now? Meaning adding a new blog entry without having to be on your own Mac? This is a feature I've been waiting for since iWeb first was released.
    2. Is it possible to choose the format of images? Earlier editions had the option to "optimize" images but that meant it changed it into .png meaning the site got a lot heavier than if .jpg was used. And since I have relatives who still only have an isdn connection I need to be able to have the website as light as possible.
    thanks

    Ah well... thanks for the quick answer

    Question about the sensor... just got my 4s yesterday after screwing up my 3 with the laterd version update. EVery call I have been on has either changed to speaker, called another number or ended the call or activated facetime, which I have turned off. never had this trouble with my 3...I don't even want to talk to anyone on this phone! Is the sensor bad? That is what the AT&t rep suggested.

    Restore as new... if the problem still continues then there is a hardware issue.
    If it stops after a restore as new, then the issue is with the backup the device is currently setup with.
