Animatics Smartmotor addressing for RS232

I have found a thread that appears to address my problem, but I am apparently not following the solution properly.
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=140&message.id=13250&query.id=248045
I have a daisy chain of Animatics motors so I need to prepend a motor address (1 thru 4) to each string command in order to get a specific motor to listen to the command.  The previous poster seems to have solved the problem by providing the address as a byte and then type-casting it to string before combining it with the cammand string.
I am doing the following:  The input string to my VISA write command is a cocatenation of the type-cast byte-to-string & the desired command & a termination space constant.  When I just send the motor cammand and the terminator, it works fine, but when the address string is included, the resutant string must be illegal because the motor ignores it completely.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi dssiitb,
I have a couple of suggstions:
1) Try to find LabVIEW drivers for the animatics motors you have and use those in your code.
2) Use the "Query" command in VISA as it writes and reads so might reduce the delay.

    Using an Animatic 2315 Smartmotor, looking for a VI for this device

    Hello,
    I checked the Animatics website and they do not post anything. You may want to look into an intigrator to do the programming on this:

    Either that or get a .dll library from Animatics and use LabVIEW's call library function to build the application.

  • How to use a ip address for pop & smtp server names when creating a new account

    My xp PC is on a lan behind a Freebsd os [IE. flavor of unix] which is not running a dns server. The only way to reach it is by ip address. I have configured the account with a ip address for pop & smtp. When I create and sent a email, Thunderbird shows a window saying it trying to connect and after 10 seconds it goes away with out showing the status window. There is no email in the sent folder. Is it possible to do this ???? I can accomplish this using ms/outlook so I know it is possible.

    I haven't tried this in years, but could you give this server a name and enter that into TB
    Then in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts you add that name and ip

  • How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id?

    Hi there
    How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id? My original email address is associated with my previous employers.
    When I send email from my Macbook, it seems as if I still work there, which is a problem.

  • How do I add an email address for a family member to my .mac account?

    Can I add an email address for my mother to my .mac account?  I'd like to set up, manage and pay for an email address for her use.  I thought this was possible but can't seem to navigate myself to the place where I can get an additional address.

    So, after further reading I assume that I must ad an apple id for my mother.  Is this correct?  Can I, as the responsible party, control purchases and apps that are added to the device I have provided her?  I'm not so worried about what she might do as I am what a grandchild might do without her knowledge.

  • Can I create an email address for a family member using my apple ID?

    I converted to iCloud from Mobile Me in October before I created email addresses for my kids.  Can I create accounts for them in iCloud?

    Just go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new Apple ID for each kid - note that you will need a different associated email address for each ID, and different from your own, but you can use free addresses such as Yahoo.
    Then start a new iCloud account for each using the IDs. You will need to have a separate user account on your Mac for each kid (you should be doing this anyway, and they should be non-admin accounts) and then you can enter the ID in System Preferences>iCloud and create a new @me.com address in each case.
    Alternatively you could create up to three email aliases on your own account - these are addresses, not accounts, and deliver into your main inbox alonside your mail, so everyone will be able to see everyone else's mail, which may well not be what you want.

  • I need to change the MAC Address for Airport on MacBook

    I have a specific need to change my son's Airport MAC address as his school requires the use of USB network cards that aren't compatible with MACs. These cards are needed because the school's router uses MAC address filtering.
    Before we upgraded his Mac to Snow Leopard, we were able to change the MAC address to the MAC address of the useless dongal the school supplied. We basically created an AppleScript program that ran the "sudo ifconfig en1 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" and all was good.
    This command no longer works for changing the MAC address. We tried it as root user as well and by typing it into the terminal window as root. After running the command, we can run "ifconfig en1" and it does display the new mac address but when we turn the airport on and try to connect, it just hangs and won't connect.
    Our other non-Snow Leopard still works fine after running the commands so I'm guessing Apple disabled this functionality. It's hardly a security issue by being able to change your mac addres.
    Is there a new way to accomplish this? I've searched everywhere.
    Thanks!

    Would an easier solution be to provide the school's IT admin with your mac address and have it added? If they can add a block of mac addresses for the usb dongles, they can add more for machines that cannot use the dongle.
    Also: "It's hardly a security issue by being able to change your mac address."
    While it may not be a security issue for your machine, it is a security for the school network who is using mac address filtering as hopefully only one part of their wireless security.
    That being said, have you read this?

  • I need help setting up my Apple wireless network so that there are no conflicts with IP addresses for any of my devices.

    I have 2 Airport Extreme Base Stations, 1 is a 5th generation 802.11n and 1 is a 2nd generation 802.11n.  I have 2 Extreme Express Base Stations which are 2nd generation 802.11a/n.  The idea is to create a network that works throughout my 2 story house and extend into the garage.  It's not a large house 1400 sq ft wood construction.  The internet feed comes into the Hughes Net modem upstairs.  This is where I want the main base station (5th generation). I eventually will connect a network drive and printer to it.  I then want to place the second base station in the room directly under the upstairs room where the main base station is and connect my desk top computer to it.  In the living room I will have one of the Express Base Stations connected to the Micro Cell and house stereo system.  In the garage (50' away from the living room Express Station & 75' from the Main Base Station) I will place the other Extreme Express Base Station to be connected to the garage stereo system.  All of this is with the idea to extend the range of my network for all my devices and airplay to my stereo systems. 
    Ok, so I have a lot of wireless devices. 2 2nd geneartion iPads, 2 iPhone 4s's, 3 Wi-Fi enabled Sony TVs, Apple TV (near the house stereo Extreme Express), AT&T Micro Cell connected to house stereo Extreme Express, Lorex Security DVR system (connected to main base station upstairs), Whole-House DTV Network system,1 Macintosh Quicksilver Desktop computer, 1 MacBook Pro, and 1 Mac AirBook.  As you can see I need a lot of DHCP IP addresses.
    So, how do I go about setting this all up?  I have read countless articles and discussions but I still have conflicts.  It usually mostly, but not limited to, effects my wife's AirBook.  Not good at all!  I used to have a WDS setup but I understand that the 802.11n Airport Extreme's do not support this.  And when I try to distribute a range of IP addresses I run into problems.  So can someone please help me resolve this headache?

    Configure the Extreme connected to the Hughes Net modem as your router. In other words in AirPort Utility, Network tab > Router Mode should be set to "DHCP and NAT". It will provide IP addresses to all the devices on your network.
    All other AirPort devices on your network should be configured as bridges: Router Mode "Off".
    You may want to configure static IP addresses for any equipment that is likely to be permanently installed. For them, there is no reason to have the Extreme issue an IP address, and they can keep the same one forever.
    The Microcell may be able to connect to the Express's LAN port such devices that have to handle voice or other real time audio or video streaming are generally best installed using a strictly wired connection. The same applies to the Sony TV and AppleTV. Keep them on a wired LAN served by the Extreme, avoiding any reliance on a wireless link if at all possible.
    The way to implement a complex network like yours is to add one device at a time. Ensure it connects reliably, then add another. You have a lot of work to do.
    WDS can be implemented even with new Extremes but its performance is likely to be so unacceptable that it would be nothing more than an exercise in frustration for you.

  • I am trying to change the email address associated with my existing account to free up my university email address for use in obtaining Creative Cloud.

    I am trying to change the email address associated with my existing account to free up my university email address for use in obtaining Creative Cloud.  Every time I go to the account settings of my existing account (which currently uses my university email, as I set it up years ago and had no idea it'd eventually cause problems), I enter a different email to use for that account but I continuously receive an error message saying "account changes cannot be saved."  It makes me think that it's because the email isn't verified (funny, it actually is verified since it has been the alternate email on the old account for years), but when I click the "send verification email" nothing happens (that is, no email is sent to that other email address).
    Anyway, my university is now requiring that faculty create new accounts using our university email addresses in order to register/use Creative Cloud.  Am I able to delete my old account, or can anyone help me actually change the email address associated with my old account without getting a "changes can't be saved" error?

  • I accidentally created an iCloud account using the wrong email address for my username - I already have an iCloud account with a different email address username. Is there any way I can merge these accounts?

    I just upgraded my MacBook from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion so that I could stream from my other devices (iPhone and iPad) to my MacBook.  After making it through the upgrade process, I realized that I used the wrong email address for my iCloud username when starting up on the MacBook.  My iPhone, iPad, and iTunes are under my Hotmail email address and I accidently used my Gmail email address for the MacBook.  Is there any way I can merge these two icloud accounts together? I tried changing my account information to add the other email address, but wasn't allowed because another account was using the name (duh).  If I can't merge them, how could I change the MacBook from the Gmail address to the Hotmail address so that all my devices are on the same icloud account?  It'd be nice if I could keep the free 5GB of storage that comes with my purchase of the software, but I'd rather lose the storage than not be able to stream.

    To change accounts on your Mac, go to System Preferences, sign out of the current account, then sign into the new account.  When you sign out of the current account it will delete synced data from your Mac.  Assuming your data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) is in the other iCloud account, it will be synced to your Mac when you sign into this account.

  • Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.

    Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.
    I'm using their account and will continue to reset their password and settings until they either get the message or Apple do something about it and disable or migrate their account so that I can use MY OWN email address for my own purposes.
    I don't want to be informed about Apple products and services for someone else on my email account.
    I want to be able to use it MYSELF for iTunes
    All I am asking you to do is migrate their apple ID to their alternate email account settings and free up my email address so that:
    A. I can use it and B. I stop getting messages about their account history.
    Either that or just cancel their account as they have no right to use my personal details.
    Yes I could set up a new email address but WHY THE **** should I? I've been using this email account for years for personal stuff, it's not mu fault if someone can sign it up as an AppleID without me being able to confirm their sign up process!
    Your move Apple, make it count.

    Hi Sister Kate,
    If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

  • I am trying to setup a new Apple ID but it tells me the email address I want to us is in use even though I have deleted it as the secondary address for mother id

    I Am trying to set up a new AppleID but it tells me the email address I wish to use as the ID is in use.  It was the rescue address for another account but I have deleted that.  What do I need to do to get it to recognise the email address as a new one. I cannot set up iCloud without an ID

    Email addresses can only ever be used once in an Apple ID. They cannot be deleted from one Apple ID and moved to another.

  • I created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID?

    I'm not good with computers so please explain in simple way...:)
    I also wonder what the best way is to set up accounts for children in a family. I dont want them to be able to purchase apps etc through the parents accounts, also some things we like to share as a family and others we don't want to share. Is there any good. clear, simple explanation from Apple Support about these issues? Or best to go to Apple store and go to genius bar or one to one advise?
    thanks

    You can set up an iCloud account which makes the iCloud email address you choose the Apple ID and thus the login for it:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348
    though I have to say I think it's more sensible if the ID is another address, both for security reasons (so people don't know what the login is) and as a contact address from Apple if the account were to stop working and they needed to contact you. So personally I would to to System Preferences, enter the GMail address which is an ID, and then choose a nerw @icloud.com address.
    If she has her own iCloud account she will need either her own computer or her own user account on your Mac to be able to make use of it. You should note that under Apple's terms of use Apple IDs are only available to children of 13 and over.
    As to purchasing apps, this is nothing to do with iCloud: it's iTunes, and the login can be different. So you can all sign into the same iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts. Or she can have her own iTunes account if she is of suitable age (credit card needed for purchasing apps).
    If you have other children you should be aware that any one Mac or device can create only three iCloud accounts - this is tied to the serial number, not the user account, and once reached cannot be bypassed. You can of course sign into an iCloud account created on another device.
