Any alternate solution to using Waveform Chart Property Nodes 'ActPlot', 'Plot.Visible' for mulit-plot color problem on PDA?

Hello,
    On a waveform chart, 4 signals need to be plotted based on the status of 4 boolean inputs. Eg. if the first boolean input is true, the first signal needs
to be visible on the waveform chart; if the first boolean input is false, the first signal should not be visible on the waveform chart and so on. This can be
done on LabVIEW desktop using the Waveform Chart Property Nodes 'ActPlot', 'Plot.Visible' - a sample VI "BundleSignals_Select_Desktop.vi" is attached for
reference.
    But on PDA, since the Waveform Chart Property Nodes 'ActPlot', 'Plot.Visible' are not supported, some other method has to be used. I have done the
selection/de-selection of these signals using 'Insert', 'Delete' array functions as shown in the attached VIs "BundleSignals_PDA.zip" which works, but the
problem is that the colour of these signals do not work as desired when the selection/de-selection of these signals is done - It is required that the first
signal should always appear in White color, the second signal should always appear in Red color, the third always in Green color & the fourth always in Blue
color.
    I hope i have made myself clear of the problem. Has anyone faced this problem before & is there a solution?
Note: Version of LabVIEW that we are using: LabVIEW 8.5 Professional Development System for Windows Vista/XP/2000 and LabVIEW 8.5 PDA Module for Windows
Mobile.
Thanks & Regards,

Unfortunately the only alternative to using property nodes is to set the properties manually on the development environement. The limited size of memory does limit us in terms of features for the module.

Is there any alternate solution for MDM setup without following Device Enrollment Program (DEP) ?

Hi,
Is there any alternate solution for setting up the MDM Process, without following the Device Enrollment Program (DEP) and managing the devices by creating our own setup controlling through the server, Please let me know.
Thanks for the help.

Finally I found the solution for the MDM, after doing some research work with the Apple Configurator, iPhone configuration utility and came across with the Profile Manager after installing Mac OS Server and able to manage, configure, remote access and send the commands using push notifications.

Use of multiple property nodes for GUI manipulation

I have a LabVIEW 6.0.2 application where I'm using 14 different property nodes in the main loop. All of these have to do with GUI - hiding buttons when "X" isn't pressed, disabling and greying out controls if <0, popping one button on top of another depending on the mode of operation, etc, etc. While this works fine, the program is getting slow. I've noticed that using the old 2-D buttons works faster - things update faster and redraw quicker. However, more to the point, I once read that if you have to use a lot of Property Nodes like this, that you should bundle them into a sub-vi, thus replacing what would be Property Nodes with references. How does that make it faster?
Richard

Not sure if bundling them into a sub-vi by itself would make it faster. The nodes in the sub-vi would still have to access the user interface thread, and that's where the slow down comes from.
When I use any property node, I put it in a case structure and only write to it when needed. You just need to be able to detect when the value being written is changed from last loop iteration. It's useless to constantly rewrite the same value (doesn't have to be the "value" property) to the node.
Bundle them into a sub-vi and put the change detector, case structure and nodes in the sub-vi, this should help speed things up a bit. Assuming of course that the nodes are the slowdown. It may also help clean up the diagram a bit.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

Using LV Class Property Nodes in In-place Element structure causes the code to halt

I have some code written in LV RT 2010 that uses property nodes from a LVOOP class that I created. I am using access the property node from inside an in-place element structure. When the code reaches the property node, LabVIEW stops running. (as if the abort button was pressed). I verified this behaviour using highlight execution. When I remove the in-place structure code runs fine.
Is this is know bug in LabVIEW? Is there a CAR to resolve this created for a future release?

Bob,
I tried to reproduce the behavior you're seeing by recreating the Trigger and Trigger List classes, but I have not been able to reproduce it. Please take a look at my version of the project in the attached zip file. Take a look at Test.vi, and feel free to modify and repost it to show me how to make the problem occur. I would like to file a CAR to make sure we get the problem fixed, but I will need to be able to reliably reproduce it first.
On a similar note, you can get much better performance out of the Process Triggers VI by preallocating the list array, instead of using build array in a loop. Take a look at Process Triggers2.vi in my project. You can run Benchmark.vi to see the performance difference between the two different approaches.

Hi - I need help. I would like to use my old iPhone 3 as an iPod for music only. Problem is that my phone is locked with a password I can't remember. I havent used the phone since I got my iPhone 4. Anyone who know how I can reset the phone to standard installation or just get acces to the phone. There is no SIM card in the phone.

Hi Lawrence,
Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´ Those were good days..... What a City

@I run a Windows 8.1 - Photoshop CS5 under Parallels on an iMac one year old and both having the latest OS. I use a NIK plugin "VIVEZA" which run fine for years without a problem. Latelt and without a reason, the NIK plugin has gone corrupt, (can not use it more the 2 corrections after a get a black background message that there is not enough memory) and the system stops running and a must restart is required. How do I fix this terrible problem?
If it requires a Photoshop CS5 re-install, (I belief that it may fix the problem) and re-install the two third party plugins (NIK Viveza) and (Onone Perfect Resize) how and where do I get to the proper Adobe upload page to do that.
I have tried to fix this problem by changing the memory allocations, I have spend many hours on it and are very disgusted with it but it needs to be fixed. The current memory settings are;
Ram available = 1588 MB
Range = 873 -1143 MB
Recommended Photoshop usage range = 857 however I have tried every setting to max and in between. Nothing works. Current setting = 1588 (max)
The Photoshop I use is registered, I have product # and order # .

Using waveform chart to collect data

Hello,
I am a new user to labview, however I have been using it for a while now.
I have a simple problem.
My model runs a drive cycle for 1400 secs.
I want to record data for a sample rate of 1 sec.
However, When I try to run the model and export it to excel it shows data for a sample rate of 0.1 seconds. How can I change that?
Also, what can be the maximum buffer size of the waveform chart?

Hey govindgoal,
The max buffer size is pretty massive so don't worry about that. I would post your code or at least the part which is recording the data for people to help debug. It would seem however that you have some timing issues with your application.
Regards
Andy

Using Waveform Chart, inconsistent results when setting X range and delta X properties

I have isolated my problem to a simple vi consisting of only a waveform chart (attached). I am using LV 5.1.1. I have used an attribute node to set x minimum to 0, x maximum to 10, delta x to be entered by the user, and have turned autoscaling off.
When I plot 2 random points, x maximum is inconsistent, and doesn't stay at 10 when the vi is run several times in a row. Specifically, the first time the vi is run (after delta x is changed), x maximum changes. Then, the second time it is run, the max typically goes back to 10. However, when run several times in a row, x max will fluctuate. Specifically, I tried entering a delta x of 8. Mostly, the min is 0, max is 10,
and the line between the 2 random points plots from 0 to 8 along the x axis (good). However, every once in a while, the x max will go to 8.
This behavior is very strange, and will not allow me to program my actual application correctly until I fully understand what is happening. I would assume since Waveform Chart has these attributes to set, I can still using the Waveform Chart, and don't have to completely restructure my program to use another display.

That is the expected behavior, it is only that you don't assign the properties in the right order. If you set the XScale.Multipler before min and max all is how you expect it. When you set the multiplier, min and max are automatically changed to reflect the scale changes thus overwriting your previous settings.

Plotting data with multiple y-axis using waveform chart

I am using LabVIEW 7.1 and am simply trying to split my data on one waveform chart using 2 Y axis. One goes from 0-150 and the other from 800-1000. I want them to graph on the same chart, and I have selected 'duplicate scale' when I right click on the chart, as instructed in the labview manual, but both of my data streams are still only connected to one of my axis. I can't get it to recognize that one data stream should go on one axis and the other stream should go on the other axis. Can someone help please?

Right-click in the plot legend one plot. In the context menu select y-axis and after the axis you want for this plot. The scale is changed directly.
There is an image of the context menu attached.
I hope this helps
Greetings

How to use waveform chart for slow data

For slow data acquisition (e.g. 1 sample / sec) in the case of using DMM, how to display those data in a chart / graph?
For this sampling rate, there will be only 1 point in the chart.
How to buffer them and display them in a sequence?
Or, any other method?
thanks

Here is a quick example showing chart, graph and XY graph. All YOU need to do is use a chart and wire your DMM reading right to it. Charts have their own built in history (you can change the buffer size by right-clicking > Chart History Length)

Oracle tuning question or any alternate solution

All Oracle Guru I need your help in solving this problem. I am simplifying this problem to make it easy to understand. Let's start. For example we have two Tables.
Table one which stores data when one user access any dir on Unix sever has following columns
Table one
Request Date          Server Name     Dir Accessed     User ID
8/1/2005 12:00:00 PM     COBRA-65     root          conny
8/2/2005 13:00:00 PM     PANTHER-98     opt          conny
8/9/2005 23:00:00 PM     COBRA-965     opt          conny
6/4/2005 22:00:00 PM     COBRA-73     shared          conny
10/7/2005 23:00:00 PM     PANTHER-98     bin          conny
10/7/2005 23:00:00 PM     PANTHER-98     bin          conny
This table gets around 6 to 8 Million records every day and we have data for around 3 months. Total around 650 M Records. Now our users want to access this data and find out who is accessing what on a monthly basis. Requirement is that user will define a application and tell us server name and dir he wants to associate to that application name. So we created another table: - Table two and here is column list for this table.
Table Two
Application Name     Server Name     Dir Accessed
COBRA-ROOT          COBRA73          shared
PANTHER-OPT          PANTHER-98     opt
PANTHER-BIN          PANTHER-98     bin
Now we can not let user run ad hock queries on a table with 650 M records so we decided to create a aggregation table and store monthly data into this table where user can query them .
AGGR_TABLE
Application Name     Request Month     User ID      Total Hits
COBRA-ROOT          Jun-05          conny          1
PANTHER-OPT          Aug-05          conny          1
PANTHER-BIN          Oct-05          conny          2
Now to fill this aggregation table we need to run a monthly aggregation query and her is that query
SELECT B.Application_name APPLICATION_NAME,
TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(A.REQUEST_DATE,'MON-YYYY'),'MON-YYYY') REQUEST_DATE,
A.User ID ,
count(*) TOTAL_NUMBER_OF_HITS
FROM Table Two Table One A
WHERE A.REQUEST_DATE >= trunc(sysdate,'DD')
AND A.REQUEST_DATE < truncadd_Month(sysdate,1),'DD')
AND A.Server Name = B.Server Name
AND A.Dir Accessed = B.Dir Accessed
GROUP BY B.APPLICATION_SECTION,
B.DATA_SOURCE,B.Application_name ,
TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(A.REQUEST_DATE,'MON-YYYY'),'MON-YYYY'),
A.PMDS_PERSON_NUM_SSO
ORDER BY B.Application_name
Now the problem is that this query takes forever too return. Sometime more then 72 hours.. We cannot do incremental updates as minimum we can do is month and if we do increment then we will not be able to collect historical data. This data will grow and we are planning to have 12 month retention..
Any help on query optimizing or any alternate direction will be real help.. Ones again because of company confidentiality I have to change the real table names and query and it is little bit more complicated then I showed you in above example but concept is the same. I will appreciate if any one can help us in any way.
Thanks

You'll need an pk/fk relationship between your tables for a fast refresh to be possible.

Waveform Chart NOT allowed inside array of clusters; Dynamic plot stacking?

The NI Developer Zone has a VI that does something I want - dynamically
stack plots in a useful way. Unfortunately, I would like those plots
to actually be Waveform Charts and NOT Waveform Graphs (as the
documentation specifies but LIES!)
A little further experimentation shows you that it is seemingly not
possible to make an array of clusters that contain Waveform Charts!
Why?
Alternatively, are there any other ways to smartly show many signals at
once? I have found multiplots to be frustrating as it is difficult to
assign the number of plots once you start the VI (hence the existence
of Dynamic Stack Plots).

Use of grouped property nodes

HI,
I'd like to know if there is a way to use a property node like " value " for a group of controls without doing right click /property node /value on each control.
Thanks
Olivier

There is little reason to have many direct value property nodes in any given diagram. (I am just mention this because you explicitly mention "value"). A local variable has the same functionality but is more efficient. (of course, often you can use a wire or shift register for even cleaner code).
(see e.g. http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=153611#M153611)
There is also the shared variable, if you run one of the newer LabVIEW versions.
I am afraid that you use all these value property nodes as a poor man's substitute of "variables", breaking all dataflow in the process. Can you explain why you need so many???
(btw: another way to copy a property node would be to ctrl+right-drag an existing property node, then right-click it and "link to...(select another control)". This is not faster in your case, but is quite useful if you want to duplicate a property node that has many properties defined.)

Use of boolean property node in LabView 6i

I am running LabView 6i version 6.0.2.
I am using a reference to a front panel boolean control to stop the execution of a state machine in a subVI. The subVI has a property node linked to this reference. This property node shows that it is "Bool", but when I set the property node's element to "value", the value is not a boolean type. I can't figure out how to set the boolean property node's element so that I can read the state of the boolean control. How should I configure this?

The data type of the value property is a variant. It is possible to convert a variant to a boolean, but you probably don't want to do that.
The reason is that you have the mechanical action of the boolean set to "latch ...", and that means that the value property isn't very useful.
Change the mechanical action to "switch ...", then the value property will be a boolean.
Note that this means that you will probably have to reset the boolean programatically after the user clicks on it.

Is it possible to add text when using flashing button property node?

I am trying to get a text button that displays TEST to show "running"
when it flashes. I am using a property node for flashing.
At present it cycles between TEST and default color which is set in
flashing clolor options.

hi there,
use the "Strings[4]" property of the button. right click on the property node and see online doc for more information about the meanings of the 4 elements of strings[4].
Best regards
