Adding a "FAQ" section to the LabView forum

Hi Molly,
Please have a quick look at this thread where we introduce the idea of a FAQ section.
Regards,
Ray

There is an exisitng FAQ at: labviewfaq.org
This is available for contribution from anyone. You are free to post a response or an update to any item listed. All posts are visible after they are approved by the moderating team but submission capabilities are free to all. I'm not trying to divert your attention from your current goals but want to let everyone know that there are other venues. Also, content posted falls under a creative commons license which assures that the materials remain open to the community. This is similer in fashion to what Wikipedia is trying to achieve.
Based on this link, NI can use user submitted material any way they chose. How does this protect the hard work of the contributors?

I have some software problems of running matlab script node in the LabVIEW program.

Hi there,
I wrote a simple matlab code, like x= 1, y = x*2. Then I tried to put them into matlab script node in LabVIEW.
However, when I ran the program, I couldn't run and Labiew show some error.
Then I tried the method talked before on this forum. Please see the following link.
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=MathScript&thread.id=571
I followed the instruction and open the "command prompt," type some commands then I could run the program, and simultaneously, the LabVIEW program open "Matlab command line window" and run my labview code. However, if I didn't use the command prompt, the "matlab command window" will not be opened by running the labview program. It would just show some error. And even if I turn on the matlab program in advance, I still couldn't run the labview program.
Is there any effecient way to deal with this problem without using "command prompt?" Because I try another PC with both matlab and labview installed on it, I "can" run my simple matlab script node on it, and it will open the matlab command line window automatically by running my code. Therefore, I thought there might be some software linking problems in the previous PC I used . Do you have any ideas?
Thanks in advacne.

This board is for Mathscript, but you seem to have a matlab problem. You should probably post in the LabVIEW forum instead.
What is your LabVIEW version? What is you matlab version?

FAQ Nominations for the Install Guide

So I'm feeling kinda malicious, and I want to create some more work for Dusty and Dennis.
Do you guys n' gals have any suggestions for additions to the FAQ section in the Installation Guide? I'm looking for those questions that a lot of people have to ask during or soon after the installation phase. Stuff that lends insight into the way Arch works and little "gotchas" that occur during the install for some people.
Check out the latest revision of the doc for examples. Dennis has recently updated it.
http://www.archlinux.org/~judd/arch-install-guide.html
Other non-FAQ related suggestions are welcome too.

How about mentioning that the AMD K6 line of processors are i586, and won't work with Arch. We could say "Intel Pentium2/Celeron or AMD Athlon/Duron or newer i686 processors." Come to think of it, does Transmeta Crusoe count as i686? We could mention that too.
I keep mentioning this here, but I would like the focus to shift to the quickinst script. We could write a simple installation document detailing the quickinst installation procedure, explaining the most common things to do before and after installing (such as cfdisk, mkreiserfs, mkswap, lilo / grub). We could give an example for each of these to get things working on a typical system, and giving links to printable man pages online for those who need it.
Perhaps I should start working on this document myself, and post it here. Documentors, please let me know if you're interested.
In honesty, I believe the quickinst script would be easier to document. Especially since most of the work will be done by the user with external (stable, already well documented) tools.
0.7 should definitely be moving towards setting up UDev by default. This should be reflected in the documentation.
I've got to get going, but I'll post here again soon

New link on LabVIEW forum doesn't work

Laura,
The new link at the top of the LabVIEW forums goes to an unauthrozied area:
https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/niweek-2011/blog/2011/08/08/the-sweetest-apps-at-niweek-2011

Thanks Matthew!
The NIWeek group where that blog was published was just switched to private so that only NIWeek attendees can get content. However, that particular blog post is also available in the public Sweet Apps blog so I've switched my link.

Where is the FAQ section?

With the new setup of the forums, I have difficulty finding the FAQ section, as well as the Featured Discussion section.
Where have they gone and how can we retrieve them? There are a number of posts in older threads that specifically link to them or tell where to look for answers, but I can no longer find them. That invalidates answers given earlier.

Bill, try these links and notice the differences. You'll see what I mean

When adding music other than what comes with the theme; can you choose a specific section of the music

I have added a song to replace the Revolution's theme music. Is ther a way to set a specific section of the song to play instead of the entire song?

Not with iTunes. If you want a specific part of a track you should edit a copy of the track with a 3rd party audio editor to leave just the portion you want. Then import that clip into iTunes and use in iDVD.

Ok that is easy.
1) File > New Smart Playlist.
2) Make sure match the following rule is checked
3)The first drop down change to date added.
4)Set the second drop down setting
5) Enter the number you want based on step 4
The rest of the check marks are up to you but make sure "Live Updating" is checked.
Take some time playing around with the smartlists. I love them!! I have a 2 level smartlist at work, I hardly use the regular playlists.

Hard time getting to the 'ideas' & 'discussion' sections of the PS Touch forum

Every time I go to look for the 'ideas' or 'discussion' sections of this forum, it turns into a grand pain in the tusch. I don't think there is a link to them from the main PS Touch forum page. To get to them, To get to Ideas, I have to go to 'your stuff' and search for a past idea I've submitted. To get to the discussions, I have to open one of the discussions, then click on the 'discussions' link on that page. Can you, Adobe, simply add links to the ideas and discussions sections from the the forum's home page?

In the top right is "browse".Under that menu it can take you directly to the "ideas" thread. It's the same for "disscussions". I had the same issue in the beginning.

Creative Cloud section of the forum

I see that judging by the volume of posts in the other section that the CC users are having fun with the new updates
That is if they can download them
Well done Adobe, I had very very low expectations of your management of the CC update on the 17th (18, whatever) and guess what you failed to reach those expectations
Sorry should not be sarcastic

I have the new software. However, how long might it be before I even notice a difference that matters to me? That could take a while.
If you accept 8PM PDT as the planned official time of release (after the party was over at the Adobe offices), then they were about 34 minutes late. Not bad, but annoying as hell for a lot of early adopters.

FAQ: What is the Photoshop CS6 13.0.2 update? What is the 13.1 update?

What updates have been released?
Photoshop CS6 has two new updates: 13.0.2 and 13.1. The 13.0.2 update is available only for Mac users and updates the user interface to be Retina compatible. The 13.1 is for Creative Cloud subscribers and adds new features to Photoshop CS6.
How do I get the updates?
Simply go to Help > Updates to launch the Adobe Application Manager (AAM) to start the download process. You may already have an AAM notification to install these updates waiting in your task bar. You can also download and install the 13.0.2 update from here:
Photoshop 13.0.2 update for CS6
Don't see the updates in AAM? Make sure the Adobe Application Manager is updated to 6.2 or later.
Windows
Mac OS
Note: Using this update patch will install the latest version of AAM, which may be greater that 6.2.
Additionally,
Updates not available for Creative Cloud products
What is the availability of these updates?
The 13.0.2 update is available only for Mac OSX version 10.6 or later. The 13.1 update is only available to Creative Cloud subscribers (including Creative Cloud single-app membership, i.e. subscribing to Photoshop only), but it is for both Windows and Macintosh.
Some of the Photoshop CS6 System Requirements have changed in order to allow for the features in the 13.1 update.
Windows XP and Vista are no longer supported.
The video card VRAM requirements have gone up to 512 MB.
For more information, see:
New system requirements for Photoshop 13.1
Heads Up: Photoshop System Requirement Changes
Error: "Graphics hardware not officially supported" occurs in Photoshop 13.1 (Subscription Edition)
Do I need to install both updates?
No, the 13.1 update also includes the Retina display enhancements added with 13.0.2. So on the Mac platform, you will only be asked or are required to install the 13.1 update if you are a Creative Cloud subscriber.
What are the new features added for Creative Cloud subscribers in 13.1?
There have been many new features added to Photoshop CS6, including:
Smart Object support for Blur Gallery and Liquify — Enjoy the creative freedom to experience non-destructive editing with Blur Gallery and Liquify now that both features offer Smart Object support.
Conditional Actions — Speed up image processing by creating Conditional Actions. These commands use logic to automatically choose among different Actions based on rules that you establish.
Crop tool refinements — User-inspired enhancements to the Crop tool allow you to work smarter.
Copy CSS — Quickly export Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) markup for text and objects, potentially saving hours of work translating your Photoshop designs into web code.
Load color swatches from HTML or CSS — Import color swatches so that you can easily design incredible websites.
Improved Type Styles — Ensure consistent type formatting across multiple documents by defining shareable default styles, which are then available in any Photoshop document.
3D type enhancements* — Enhance 3D type with new GL preview and image-based lights (IBL) improvements.
For more information on these features, including demonstration videos, please see:
Release Notes Photoshop 13.1 update
Membership Exclusive Features
New Exclusive Photoshop Features for Creative Cloud Members!
New Photoshop Features and Team Version Headline Major Update to Adobe Creative Cloud
*Note: Photoshop CS6 single-app subscription is for the Standard version, which does not include 3D features and thus does not include these enhancements. Creative Cloud subscription comes with Photoshop CS6 Extended and includes the 3D enhancements.
I am not a Creative Cloud subscriber, why do I not the get the 13.1 update? Doesn't my full purchase also qualify me for free updates?
When you buy Photoshop CS6 outright, you are essentially buying a static product. You still qualify for minor, bug fixing releases like 13.0.1 and 13.0.2, but your purchase will not include any new features, as has always been the case in the past.
When you subscribe to Creative Cloud, you are not buying CS6, you are subscribing to whatever the latest version of Photoshop is. This means you are immediately entitled to any new features and upgrades as they become available. And this is only one of the many great reasons to be a Creative Cloud subscriber.

Why do my images appear smaller on my Retina enabled Mac after installing the 13.1/13.0.2 update?
Retina displays use a higher pixel density than a normal monitor. The individual display pixels are approximately one half the size of previous devices. While working in Photoshop before installing the 13.1/13.0.2 update, as with any other non-Retina optimized application, the number of pixels used is doubled to give a normal, non-miniaturized appearance. This can cause applications to be slightly blurred or pixilated. Thus, when viewing images in Photoshop, the zoom level is effectively double whatever is displayed. At 100% zoom, the image is displayed so that every one image pixel is shown with four display pixels, the same as viewing the image at 200%. With the 13.1/13.0.2 update, Photoshop now displays natively on Retina screens, meaning that image pixels now appear at the much smaller Retina size, thus reducing the amount of screen space they take up when viewed at 100%.
Photoshop CS6 HiDPI and Retina Display Support FAQ
Known Issues
The following are known issues with the 13.1 and 13.0.2 updates but have been fixed in the 13.1.1 and 13.0.3 updates:
Program error opening files in 13.1 and 13.0.2
Photoshop 13.1/13.0.2 crashes opening EPS files
Photoshop crashes after updating to 13.1 or 13.0.2 on Retina display
For more information, see:
Photoshop 13.0.3/13.1.1 Updates Now Available
Why have icons disappeared?
Due to changes in the number of pixels involved in the UI, some icons can disappear. If the Photoshop Dock icon is now blank, rebooting the computer will refresh the system and load the new HiDPI icon. Some extensions do not have a Retina ready icon and thus will be blank when you have the panel minimized. In most cases like these, we may have to wait until the manufacturer also releases a HiDPI version of the Extension. Additionally, sub-menu headers may become blank when you view the contents of the sub-menu. For example, if you select Filter > Sharpen, while viewing the list of Sharpen, Sharpen Edges, Sharpen More, etc "Sharpen" itself will be blank.

You might want to wait. There are some bugs in it and Adobe is working on it. See threads posted in last few hours.
Well that might explain things more than I've garnered from the Forums. I've got a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and a Mac Pro with Lion, both with CS6 Design and Web Premium on them. The Mac Pro updates Photoshop to 13.0.3, the MacBook Pro is "stuck" at 13.0.1. It won't update via the "Help/Updates" or by downloading and trying to install manually. AAM gives an error when trying manually; says to contact support. Other CS6 apps, i.e. Illustrator, do not update on the MBPro either. I've uninstalled/reinstalled, deactivated/reactivated, etc., to no avail. If it means anything, I just deactivated the Illustrator app, quit it, restarted, and the splash screen (which shows the loading progress) showed "Try" on it - haven't noticed that before, and I have not installed any trial downloads. I'm at a loss as to why one installation of CS6 Design and Web Premium (physical/downoad) will update properly on one computer and not the other.
Am waiting to see if Adobe has an answer. The apps work, just don't update...

System error 988 whlie loading the LabView eun-time engine (C:\Program file\....\\lvrt.dll)

I am trying to use NI devices with Lazarus (there is no pascal section, so I post here).
When I try to run my application:
DAQmxBaseCreateTask('TaskHandle', TaskHandle);
DAQmxBaseCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandle,'Dev1/ai0','',DAQmx_Val_Cfg_Default,-10.0,10.0,DAQmx_Val_Volts,'');
I get the following error message:
„System error 988 while loading the LabView eun-time engine (C:\Program file\....\\lvrt.dll)
nidaqmxbaselv requires a version 2010 (or compatible) LabView run-time engine. Please contact the vendor of nidaqmxbaselv to correct this problem.“
I installed LabView run-time engine 2012, but I still get the same error.
Then I tried to install LabView run-time engine 2010- the same result.
I removed LabView run-time engine 2012- same result.
I tried to install LabView run-time engine 2010 again (since I did not see it in the add/remove list)- then I noticed, that the installer shows „A newer version is already installed".
What shall I do?

Hi,
   Can I ask the same question too?
   I am using
   Windows 7 sp1 x64
   Visual Studio 2010 pro
   NI USB-6009
   ni-daqmx base 3.4.5
I created a empty win-32 console project and putted the ANSI C Example program: acquireNScans.c with the include file and lib file of nidaqmxbase in the same folder. I added this line on the top of the source code #pragma comment(lib,"nidaqmxbase.lib"), built without any error. When I tried to run it, I got this same message.
  I tried changing to shared dll mfc and delaying linking lvrt.dll, but did not work.
  Looking forward to your reply.
all the best.

FAQ section

Is theree a FAQ section for this forum? I couldn't find one, but maybe I'm a rash man and didn't search properly. If there is none, there should be, taking in consideration how many question repeate themselfs here, since it seems that nobody is using the Search utility.
Of course, the question that arises is: will the people that need guiding read the FAQ section if they don't use the Search utility? Funny thing..

Hi,
Some other projects had me tied up for awhile and now I'm back to creating my FAQ section.

I may simply set up a long list of questions with anchors to the answers on the same page. Has anyone else done this rather than use an external FAQ script?

Can you find out for sure on which version? Seems strange, that CS6, no matter where it came from, wouldn't be sync'ed as far as version. I understand features coming out for PHotoshop CC, that would go forward and not be in CS6, but it seems that CS6 should be CS6 and be sync'd for features and version numbers no matter where you got it from.
If you got CS6 from CC....and you quit CC....does that version of CS6 quit functioning or does it work still going forward if you stop paying the CC monthly rent?
Thanks in advance,
