Area in units of a GeneralPath

Is there a method to get the area (in units) of a closed GeneralPath or Area object?

For simple and convex shapes, work around the edge to create a large number of triangles (with one common point in the interior). Then add these up.
For simple, but nonconvex shapes ... there's always [Green's theorem|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planimeter]! Obtain a path iterator and integrate your way around the shape. Good luck with that.
In "Origin of Species" (written only a few years after the first working planimeter was constructed), Darwin estimates the forrested area of North America by cutting the map out of his atlas and weighing the bits.

What are the units of the DAQmx counter?

Hello,
I created this VI and several similar ones a few months ago, but, I have forgotten some of what I did back then. I believe that this VI should measure period, using the counter on the DAQ chassis. Can anyone tell me the units of the period measured? I think it is seconds, but, I am trying to figure out how to figure that out! The values of the period are generated by the DAQmx READ function in the WHILE loop. What units is that function outputting to the array? What are the units of the array elements, essentially? See the attached VI.
Also, how do you know? I opened the DETAILED HELP for the DAQmx Read (Counter 1D DBL NSamp) shown in the VI but, I can't find anything on the units of the data coming out of the terminal labeled DATA with the orange wire, which is actually an array of periods, and we take the average of the most recent 15 or so period measurements.
I had a suggestion months ago for an online NI manual containing a description of Buffered EdgeCounting measurements, but, when I went to find it, the link had been changed by NI, so, I can't find that manual, but, I think the answer is probably there, because I recall that manual being very useful when I did this before.
Thanks for the guidance.
Solved!

HI dav2010,
When you create a Virtual Channel, you should specify the units the counter task will use. There are several options which are listed in the help here:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370469AA-01/lvdaqmx/mxcreatechannel/#DAQmxCreateChannel%28CI...
I am not on a computer with LabVIEW right now, but I believe the default should be ticks, which is the number of ticks of your device's timebase. You can find that information in your hardware specifications.

http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

What are the units of the timeline

What are the units fo the timeline? Seconds, weeks, eons, microseconds? Can't tell and there is no video or manual or any instruction out there that tells hyou this simple fact. I've already watched nearly all the videos available and all they do is chunter along about their wonderful videos instead of telling you the basic things. So, now I've spent all day making a presentation that takes at least 300 years to move from one frame to the next and I'm wondering if perhaps the timeline is written in centuries, or millenia instead of something reasonble.
Englightenment on where I can learn basic neglected secrets, would be appreciated. Also appreciated would be some insight into the corporate disease Adobe seems to have which compels it to inflict videos upon people who just want basic answers and to make it necessary to click 185 buttons and log in 17 times to even ask a question on this very helpful forum

What are Compatible Units?

Hi Gems,
Can some one tell me what are compatibe units?
I came this in many job requirements recently. what version of ISU is it in?
Thanks
Dan

Compatible Unit Definition
A compatible unit consists of:
A description
A list of operations
A list of materials and production resources
A schedule for the installation, replacement, or modification of the compatible unit
A list of required documents
A list of the characteristics defined in the configuration
Relationships between the individual components of the compatible unit are represented by object dependencies (for example, between soil condition and length of the connection).
Use
You can use a compatible unit when creating a work order; the compatible unit enables you to create the work order quickly and fully. First of all, all the data from the task list is copied to the order. If you assign characteristic values, certain data is then changed (for example, time required or quantity of materials) or suppressed when copied (for example, operations or materials).
It is not currently possible to construct compatible units in a multi-level structure.
The configuration is not used for the service catalogs (descriptions of services to be obtained externally) in the operation.
Structure
The compatible unit or the configurable task list contains the following elements:
The header data of the task list
A list of operations for the header
A list of materials for each operation
A list of utilities for each operation
Object dependencies of the configuration for each operation
The allocation of the task list to a configuration profile
The allocation of classes with characteristics to the configuration profile

HI Tapan,
In more easy words with the help of an Example,
PA is a Subdivision of the company code, eg: A company might operate in two different geographical locations like America and India.
PSA: is a further subdivision of PA, eg: under the American subsidiary it might have operations like Head office, HR, Sales etc. and under Indian subsidiary it might have operations, purchasing etc.
Hope this clarifies..

Why are audio units not showing up?

I'm just about out of my mind with this one- I've downloaded a number of plugins, namely DCAM synth squad, Flux Stereo Tool and Magnus Ambience Reverb, but no matter what I do I can't get them to show up. They claim they're 64 bit so that shouldn't be a problem, and I can't get them to show up in either Logic X or Ableton Live 9. I've re-scanned all plug-ins in both DAWs, I've deleted my plugin cache and had them rescan that way, but nothing works. I can see the .component files in my library, but nothing I do will get either Logic or Live to recognize them. I can open synth squad in standalone mode so the plugins themselves are working, they just won't show up as inserts.
The Ambience reverb is even recognized by the audio units manager and it says its validated and an effect, but it doesn't show up when I look at the available plug-ins on my channel strips.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Flux Stereo Tool is only available as a 32bit AU version so that won't work in LPX (or Live9 in 64bit mode)
Note: 64bit floating point is not the same as 64bit AU Plugin..........
Magnus Ambience Reverb is available as a 64bit AU Plugin but only if you download that specific version.... (However, several people have reported it doesn't work for them in 64bit mode in any DAW anyhow, even with the correct version)
Mac OS X Magnus Ambience Reverb Universal 32-bit and 64-bit AU
..and according to the FXpansions website DCAM free version is only available as a 32bit AU plugin so that wont work with Logic Pro X (or Live 9 in 64bit mode)
In summary:
In order for a plugin to work in Logic Pro X it must be a 64bit AU (AudioUnit) plugin.... not a 64bit VST.. or a 32bit AU Plugin...

What are the units for the power spectrum output? (units in)^2/Hz?

I can't seem to find the answer in the manual that came with the software or anywhere online. Maybe I am just looking in the wrong places.
Thanks
David

Hi David,
I assume you are referring to the step, "Power Spectrum", in Analysis»Frequency Domain Measurements
Per the help that I see, "This step can return the spectra in root-mean-square, peak, and peak-to-peak
units."
Also, in the configuration tab of the step, for magnitude you can select either dB or linear.
Hope that helps!

When I purchase a Car GPS are these units ready to go out of the box (once charged)?

I would like to know when I purchase a car GPS system (Garmin or Tomtom) if they are ready to be used out of the box, once they are charged ?
Or do they require any additional programming, map installations or logins?

Hi Eveready,
Yes, it's pretty much ready to go. Plug it into the cigarette lighter. I would recommend that you update the maps as soon after purchase as possible, while it's still free from whichever brand you bought.
Good luck and you won't get lost ever again!

2.1 EA2: Does anyone know what the units of time are in unit tests?

Hi all,
I've been running some unit tests in SQL Developer EA2, and am curious about the units of time that I see in a couple of contexts; if anyone can enlighten me I would be very grateful...
(1) I have my unit test defined to "Gather Code Coverage Statistics"
(2) When I run a test, the results tab shows "Status" and "Duration" columns - what does "Duration" mean here? For example, my test shows "1,826" - is this milli-seconds of processing time? Any other clues?
(3) I then look at the "Test Runs Code Coverage" report, and click on the appropriate entry in the top section of the screen, which shows me the "Code Coverage Details" view
(4) I can make sense of the "Line", "Text" and "Total_Occurrences" columns, but what does the value in the "Total_Time" column mean here? For example, for simple SUBSTR assignment operations, I see a "Total_Time" of "1201", is this micro-seconds, nano-seconds?
Many thanks in advance,
Chris Hughes

Hi Chris -
(2) Duration is in milliseconds (1/1000 sec) (this is the time from the client perspective for each operation)
(4) Total_Time is in nanoseconds (1/1000000000 sec) (or at least that is what the documentation about plsql_profiler_data.total_time (where we get it from) says ;) )

What are the units for stime and sdate in the stderr file

I am trying to use those entries to determine what time the slowest ervice time occurred. The time looks like milliseconds, but the date is puzzling.
--Tom

Hi Tom,
When I analyze stderr files, I consider the following things (I don't know if there is docs on the subject, but I have experimented it) :
1- SDATE and EDATE (start and end date) are elasped times in seconds after jan 1st 1970 (Epoch). Sample of C code :
long edate;
// here sscanf EDATE in &edate from stderr file
// Transform "long" to "struct tm"
struct tm *tmtime = localtime( &edate );
// display
printf ( "EDATE=%s", asctime (tmtime) );2 - STIME and ETIME are elasped times in system defined CLOCKS_PER_SEC scale after booting server machine. The delta between this 2 values gives you the service elapsed time in ticks.
unsigned long stime, etime;
double delta;
// here sscanf STIME and ETIME in &stime and &etime from a stderr file line
// compute the delta in milliseconds
delta = ( etime - stime ) * 1000 / CLOCKS_PER_SEC ;
// display
printf( "%12.f", delta );When using STIME and ETIME, do not analyze a stderr file from a machine whith another CLOCKS_PER_SEC value.
Maybe somebody from the Tuxedo team will confirm you my date and time interpretation !!
Regards

Handling Units are released once a PGI or PGR is done?

Hello Gurus,
would you please let me know if I have handling units assigned to an inbound delivery oroutbound delivery, once I post the goods receipt or the goods issue, this handling unit numbers should be released from this documents, I mean, this HUs numbers should be un-assigned to this documents?
Is there a process after the PGR or PGI that should un-assign this Handling Units from the SAP documents?
Thanks
J.Alvarado

Thanks very much for this additional information.
I checked my handling units and all are in status 12. But there are handling units in the system from 2008.
I ran the program RHU_AR_ARCHIVABILITY_CHECK and the result was that for all this HU from 2008, the reason they cannot be archived is the next:
Reason 01 : Movement status of the HU does not allow for archiving.
Reason 04: Delivery document not archived.
Do you have any clue of what should I check regarding reason 01?
Thanks

Access restriction based on Sales Units / Sales Area

Hi all,
I am looking into the access restriction functionality on business roles.
One of our customers has a requirement to separate data between their different sales organisations. One sales organisation should not see customers, opportunities of the other sales organisation and vice versa.
In the access restriction I see that the access context defines on which elements you can set the access restriction.
For customers and opportunities the possibilities are: Employee or Territory.
Setting the access restriction on Employees is not a solid solution for me (when the employees are changed in the org model, the access restriction is influenced on several business roles..)
So what if we do not use territory management / if the territory management setup differs from the actual sales areas / sales units?
So my main questions are: can we set access restriction based on Sales Units? (we will setup integration with SAP ERP which means we cannot enter sales areas for prospects...). And can we influence the access context or do we need developments for that?
Kind regards,
Jasper

We plan to enhance the access restrictions based on sales organization and distribution channel in a future release.
If you setup territory management, we offer sales office and sales group including sales organization as attributes to define a territory if you are connected with SAP ERP.
