Basic Tutorials on VC++

Hi guys
I am in college right now and a decent c++ programmer. I have gotten a real fire lit under my ass to learn how to use daq boards and want to pretty much know everything about them. I know this can take a while but i am having trouble finding a tutorial that will explain to me how to use a simple board, write software for it, and design the circuitry that the daq board will monitor. I know there is no probably one guide that will show all this in one but if you can give me references to good ones that can teach me the individual parts that would be much appreciated. My school has multisim, measurment studio, and the daq simulation software, just to let you guys know wha ti have to work with. Hope to hear from you guys and thanks in advance for the help.

I would recommend several sources of information for working with VC++ and DAQ.
Complete DAQ Tutorial
Programming NI-DAQ in Visual C#.NET
Shipping Examples
The shipping examples should be installed in a directory similar to this:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\MStudioVS2008\VCNET\Examples NI-DAQmx .NET Help Files
Hope this helps.

Getting the classic "Macintosh Basics" tutorials to run in OSX (and Linux?)

Good afternoon folks,
I remember WAY back in the early days that there were really good basic tutorial programs that game with your new macintosh to teach you the basics. If my memory is correct, I THINK my favourite was the earliest one, "Mouse Basics". All I remember is that, as a kid, the first tutorial I had on a Mac was this silly little fun game to teach how to use a mouse, how to click, how to drag, etc. I vaguely remember a fishbowl was involved somehow, and there was another part where you dragged a piece of paper from a desk into a garbage can.
Heck, I think there may have been one for the pre-Mac Apples that was also really good.
Today, I have two uses for these programs, and I want to figure out how to get them to work on modern hardware.
1) My dad, believing the hype about OSX being the "easiest computer in the world to use" went and bought himself a really expensive iMac, thinking it would do EVERYTHING for him. Remember the scene from Star Trek IV where Scotty sits in front of the Mac Plus and says, "computer," into the mouse. That's pretty much the mindspace where my dad's coming from. Plus, my mom's even worse, and is having a really hard time grasping the concept of using a mouse. They want me get Skype working on their computer, but when I tried to help them out I discovered just how much they need to learn before they get CLOSE to the point where they can use Skype comfortably.
But, because all this stuff is so automatic for me, because I've been using computers since around 1986 when I got my first C=64, I cannot figure out how to verbalize these concepts into words in a way they can understand. Trying to explain to them the concept of the "desktop" as a metaphor is really hard. To them, a computer is a machine that does something FOR you, like a toaster. To me a computer is a virtual "space" that I "enter" in order to do things for myself.
For example, they might ask something like, "how do I get the computer to do x?" And I would answer, "this is how YOU do x." Or, to put it another way, they might unconsciously think to themselves, "I want the computer to give me the information I ask for," while I would unconsciously think ,"I want to go into the file system and find the information that's stored there." That's why it's called the "Finder" after all, right? It's a philosophical paradigm shift they just can't seem to make. So, they don't want me to teach them how to use Skype. They want me to teach Skype how to work for them! Somehow I cannot explain to them that an iMac is not a HAL 9000...
So, I want to use these very old basic tutorial programs on OSX as a way to get my parents some practice on the very very very basic skills needed to use a computer. How to click. How to drag. The concept of the "desktop". Etc.
Anybody have any simple tricks I can try? I suppose I could download QEMU for OSX and then install System 7 on their iMac, but it seems to me that there MUST be a simpler solution.
2) I'm trying to develop a remastered **** Small Linux livecd for my very young nieces and nephews to help introduce them to computers. The idea is to prevent my silly siblings from wasting their money on those stupid pink plastic "laptops" you can buy at Toys R Us. Instead, they'd simply take their old laptop that they don't use anymore and just boot it up with the DSL livecd. On the cd will be all sorts of age-appropriate games, educational software, and a kid-oriented internet browser (I'm trying to get zacbrowser to run under WINE, so far without any luck.)
There would be two users built-in to the livecd. If you boot it without using a password you get "kid mode" with a really friendly desktop with large cartoony icons with all the programs for the kid. If you boot it with the preconfigured password you'd get "parent mode" allowing access to preferences, utilities, and the myDSL package installation system.
Along with giving new life to my brother-in-laws' old laptops, they could also take the livecd with them when they're visiting other folk. Instead of dumping the kids in front of the tv, they can just pop the livecd in the family's computer and the kids can plug away without the ability to touch anything stored on the harddrive.
Think of it as SugarOS for really old hardware.
As you've probably guessed by now, I want to include these old Mac tutorials with the CD, and again I'm trying to figure out the best way to get them to run under Linux. Again, I could try running System 7 under QEMU, but I'd really like to find a better way. Is there such a thing as "WINE for classic macs"?
In the unlikely event that anybody has a way to modify these old programs to run natively under OSX (or Linux), that would be AWESOME!!!
Or if anybody knows of any modern substitutes to the classic Mac Basics tutorials, that would also be cool (but not nearly as cool as a way to run the original programs. I really really liked the way those suckers did the job.)
Thanks in advance!

Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Couple of thoughts...
You could get/use SheepShaver to actually run Classic Apps on Intel Macs.
For "Kid Mode" you could put other's Home folders on USB Sticks big enough.

Add Video to Site. Looking for basic tutorials

Thanks to a lot of help from this forum I have cobbled together a reasonable web site. Now I am adding some video and am confused as to some best practices.
I have had some reels of 8mm film converted to digital and are now individual *.mov files. Using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 I have edited and posted some clips but the more I read the more I wonder if I am doing it right... or best.
FPS.. my *.mov files are at 15 FPS. Premier Pro does not have a 15 fps setting that I can find. Some place I was advised that for displaying on the web 15 fps is more than adequate, more is overkill and makes for a much larger file.
Premiere Pro will do the job.. but some books say Adobe Flash can be used as well.
Exporting.. SWF; FLV; F4V; Quicktime; AVI..........
So.. Can anyone advise on some tutorials that deal with the basics and best practice of adding video to a web site.
Thank you for your time

Access to basic tutorials

Where can basic Apple iTunes store tutorials be found or accessed? Tutorials for how to buy and down load an album to your device. Tutorials that are not just a description of the new iTunes or iTunes store ads?

There are some 'help' pages available from here : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/getstarted/ - there are different categories on the left-hand side of that page which you can click on to get related links on the right-hand side.
e.g. iTunes 11 frequently used features : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
To buy an item from the store, you can enable the left-hand sidebar on iTunes 11 via control-S on a PC. Then select the Store on that left-hand sidebar and the store should then show on the right-hand side of the screen. At the top of that should be a list of the types of content that you can buy in your country which you can click on e.g.
At the top right of iTunes there should also be a search box - when you are browsing the store it searches the store, when you are browsing your library it will search that :
To buy an item you click on its price (or 'free' if its a free download).
To then sync your music to your iPod, connect it to your computer via the USB cable and it should then show on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes as a 'device' - if you select it on that sidebar you can then use the right-hand side of the screen to select what you want to have on your iPod.

Basic tutorials

I am a new user of director 11. I never had an experience in
any multimedia tools. My company requires me to use director
instead of flash - actionscript. Now, I am not certain about using
director cause I really dont know the UPs and DOWN of it. I want to
ask some advice about security issues. In flash, .SWF can be
decoded. And that's what we are trying to avoid. Is director safe
from this issue? Please give me some advices on this.
Another thing is, what will be the best site I can go that is
best suited for beginners like to learn...
Thanks a lot for your expert advices....

Hi dhells,
Director source DIRs files can be made into DXR or DCRs. DXRs
are used for offline
applications. DCRs are Shockwave files for the web (although
can be used offline
too). DXRs and DCRs are protected files. It is possible to
extract media content
from the files but it is impossible to extract any code
inside the file. So,
Director is safer than Flash on this front.
Next, where to learn Director. Well, I have tutorials at:
http://www.deansdirectortutorials.com/
and they are designed for beginners. I also have a resouces
page with links to all
the best Director help and resources sites on the web.

Basic tutorials-- nonexistent ? :

Hi there,
I'm right up-to-date w/ QT Pro 7.1.6, yet while I progress happily thru other apps, I have yet to really use QT beyond what it already knows to do.
just don't find it intuitive or even very clear where controls are !
I wanted to take a 6 GB downloaded .dv & extract 1 minute , freeing me to regain the "bulk of the bites".
Well, I know iMovie won't help in such regaining, and creating a short .dv of the intended scene gave me a 5 GB 'offspring'
Can i even DO this, & is there anywhere that serves as tutorials or manuals ??
--=TIA=-
~~~=Dave

let's try this. open the file in QuickTime. set your In and Out markers around the part of the part you want to have remaining. now go "Edit > Trim to Selection".
close the video and save the changes. does that do the trick?
(i don't use Pro much myself ... it's just helpful for me to have it around for troubleshooting QuickTime Player launch and installation errors. so if more experienced users wish to step in at this point, please feel free.)

Are there any basic MDM data search API examples/tutorials?

hello all,
my company just installed mdm 5 and my task is to build some java applications that use the mdm api. our first implementation is using the products data model for all of our materials.
i want to know if there are any basic tutorials or examples of how to get, for example, read all the records in the product table and how to search and get a result set, like on name or id, etc.
just some basic read and search examples to introduce me and get me started. if you know of any, it will be much appreciated.
thanks very much,

Flash CS5 Basic Help!

I am very new to this program and am struggling to get past this one simple little thing!
I clicked New > Action Script 3.0
and am trying to do some of the basic tutorials and cant even get past the first one!
I am trying to draw a filled in rectangle.... but even when i change the timeline button to fill instead of outline, it only ever draws the outline.
Am i doing something wrong?
Also i changed the background colour of the stage and it doesnt seem to change either....
Please help me get past this first step in learning Flash!!
I have been trying to follow the tutorials but everytime i try to draw a filled in shape on the stage, it always just comes out as an outline. I have deselected the outline square so it is filled in... in the timeline an still i can only get an outline. I dont get it!!
If you can see where im going wrong please let me know...
Thanks

I noticed what you said and what the image showed, but that's the best I could offer. It doesn't look like you're doing anything wrong... the software appears to be having an issue. Have you installed the latest update for CS5 (http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html)?

Very Basic Question i think ?

Hi im very new to flash but am looking to learn some more
about it i have tried to use the pre-built components in flash and
was just wondering where or how you can retrieve the values from
the checked boxes
i know how to do for 1 checkbox by using
if ( instancename.value = true){
trace("Box was ticked");
but what i am looking to do is run through a series of 5
checkboxes and retrieve all the labels at first i can probably work
out the checking if they are ticked but all i get traced is
undefined which i guess means no value.
This is the code i used to try to retrieve all the labels of
every checkbox on press of a button
on(release)
trace("Clicked");
var i = 1;
while (i < 5){
trace("While Running");
i++;
trace(CheckBox
.Label);
trace(i);
It would be most appreciated if anyone could point me in the
right direction for very basic tutorials on flash components as i
could only find the macromedia livedocs which i didnt find a lot of
help as its all technical speak which i am not familiar with
yet....
Thanks Pinky

Many Thanks!!!!!
This was the output i had to change the for to say i < 6
to do the final checkbox but it is exactly whati wanted to do
without having to use multiple if,s :D
Many Thanks now just gotta try to work my head round
comboboxes which i would have to start a new thread :D lol

Flex 2 SDK Tutorials

I recently started reading up and learning a little about
Flex 2.0. I work a lot with Coldfusion and it seems like a good
match. I have very little Flash / AS experience although I have
been a developer using many other languages (CF, VB, C#, JSP, etc)
for a number of years so I know I can handle the coding aspect
fine. And years ago I did a lot of Macromedia Director work which
is at least somewhat similar to Flash.
What I am looking for is some good basic tutorials for
database-driven apps using only the SDK - I am not quite ready to
spend the $500 on the IDE just yet. I did download the 30-day demo,
but (as usual) I got too busy and didn't do enough with it before
it ran out. Now I have the SDK downloaded and working (I even found
a neat bit of code to compile the .mxml documents right from the
command menu in Dreamweaver which is nicer and a lot more
convenient compiling in a command prompt window.
Please provide some good links to relevent sdk articles and
tutorials. I want to see mostly how to build the UI, call out to a
Coldfusion page to get a data query and return the results back to
the UI. We use mostly Oracle at work but I will be playing at home
using MySQL. I would like to see examples of both. I am sure we
won't be using the Flex Data Services (at least not yet).
Thanks in advance.

Need free Oracle Applications 11i technical Tutorials

Hi All,
I've been learning Oracle Application (technical) and need some pointers from you regarding Technical Tutorials.
I've gone through some of the basic tutorials of Oracle Applications and now looking for websites/resources for techical tutorials which can be practiced on Oracle 11i Demo( vision) instance.
Please let me know the resources/pdfs/links where these concepts are explained in a sequential manner as I'm already confused with what to read and what not to read after surfing the net. At the same time, some of the tutorials I found on internet are for Functional training and this created further confusion as I couldn't distinguish between functional & Technical material.
It is not my intend to get hold of every thing, but want to have a fair understanding of Apps & an opportunity to explore/learn other things when I work on projects. So, looking for a course material of 30 - 80 hrs. duration. ( Am I too selective? :) )
Last but not least, I don't have Metalink account and hence need resouces which are free of cost.
Request you all to help me and find me the right resources!
Many Thanks,
MK

Making a basic Video starting with sound files only

I'm totally new to Premiere and find it quite dauting. Basic tutorials don't really seem to be helping as they presume you start with a working video.
What I have is several 30-60 second .wav files which I need to be in sequence most of them also have associated GIF images to go with them.
I'd like to create a video which just plays the wav files and the the associated GIFs in sequence?
How do I go about doing this? Help much appreciated.

Before you add any Assets to a Video Track, it will be black, as there is nothing to show. However, that "empty" Video Track can be problematic with many Export options.
Instead, I would Import the Audio files, and drag each to the Timeline, where you want them. Note: a 1-channel (Mono) Clip will ONLY go on a 1-channel Audio Track, but if you do not have one, and need one, just drag that 1-channel Clip to the Master Audio Track. It will not go there, but PrPro will create the necessary 1-channel Audio Track, and put the Clip onto it. Same for 2-channel (Stereo).
When you have your Audio Tracks in place, go to the New icon at the bottom of your Project Panel, and click on that. From the drop-down, choose Black Video. When created, just drag that to say Video Track 1. It will probably be only 05 sec. long (the default), but just click+drag on the Tail of that Black Video Clip, to drag its Duration to match the Duration of the entire Audio Track(s).
Then, Import the graphic Images. Drag each to say Video Track 2, above that Black Video. Adjust each Image's Duration, as needed. If required, you can adjust the Fixed Effects>Motion>Scale, and Motion>Position, if needed. You can also Keyframe those Fixed Effects, if you wish to animate them over time, i.e. Pan, and/or Zoom.
Done.
Good luck,
Hunt

New computer, new PSE7, where can I learn the basics or uploading & organizing?

I have used PSE3 for years. With a new laptop in hand and PSE7 I have a chance at "doing it right". With PSE7 how do I find basic tutorials on getting started? On my previous computer and using PSE3 I had my images in both the PSE organizer and "My pictures". I don't want to have multiple places storing images on my computer. How do I go through the very basics of importing pictures and organizing them? Thanks!

photodonna,
The picture files are stored wherever you put them - e.g. MyPictures, Documents. The organizer does not store the pictures.
You see thumbnails.
There was published an excellent book, Organize Your Photos with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3, by Michael Slater. Unfortunately he has not seen fit to update this book, but the general principles should hold for the more recent version of Elements. One of the contributors to this forum refers to the book quite frequently. It is available for $2.75!
