Beginner I need help

I'm new to LabView and need some help with a program that I must write. For now all I would like to learn is how to light an LED on the front panel using a push button switch. Second, I would like to learn how to generate a wave form graph on the front panel. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi B-MuRpH,
what about the 'Getting started' manual that comes with LabView?
What about all those examples, accessible from the start window of LabView?
What about a seminar/course given by (experienced) LabView engineers?
In case you work at a University: what about a course for students?
In short: RTFM!
Best regards,

Beginner Programmer needs help...

I just have a quick question regarding the get(MINUTE) function in the Calendar class. I am using this to display the current time on a webpage, and every thing seems to work fine except that if the current time has the minutes < 10 (ie, 2:04 or 8:09, etc.) then only that single integer is displayed (2:4, 8:9). I understand why this is happening, but I was wondering if there is a simple way to add a leadign '0' to this int. Here is that section of code...
int hour = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR);
int minute = cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
String ampm = (cal.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == 0 ? "AM" : "PM");
%>
<p class="body"> Hello <b><%= res.getString("fname") %> <%= res.getString("lname") %></b>.
It is <b><%= hour+":"+minute+" "+ampm+" on "+mo+"/"+dt+"/"+yr %></b>.</p>
This page is in JSP. Thanks a lot for the help!

Replace minute with this. It should format it with a leading zero if needed
new DecimalFormat("00").format(minute)

Beginner! Need help getting started with recording music.

I am the definition of 'new' at the moment. I want to record my own music at home and I've been told that using an Apple Mac is one of the better ways to go about it at home.
I have a number of questions, most of which have probably been asked before (apologies!) starting right from the beginning.
1. What type of Mac would be best suited as a dedicated tool for recording music? Obviously speed and memory are big factors, but are there any other considerations here (available inputs, drivers, sound cards etc)? I'm hoping to keep the cost below AUS$3000 if possible.
2. Do i need any other hardware for this application? (this is where you can tell how inexperienced I am haha) such as mixers etc? If I should need a mixer, is there a particular type or brand of mixer that works well with Macs?
3. Will plugging a guitar amp into the mac improve sound quality over plugging the guitar directly into the Mac? I bought a Griggin Garage Band guitar cable a while ago to record some background music for a friend's DVD, and I found it worked well, but I'm looking for the best quality sound now.
4. What would be the most effective software to use? I've briefly used Garage Band and found that to be simple and useful, but I've heard that there are better software packages available.
I'm hoping to be able to record guitar, bass and vocals directly on to the Mac, and create drum tracks using samples and loops. I know how to play music but as you can tell I know very little about recording it! Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks..

I would presume one line level input will suffice?
Close, you need a Line Level AND Mic Level input since you'll want to record vocals.
Thanks for the link to your Q&A page, I found some very useful info there.
It's showing its age, and will hopeful get updated soon, but most of the info is good at least for a background.
Anyway, I think I might recommend this Presonus INSPIRE over the FireBox, it'll save you about $100 and since PreSonus makes excellent equipment (and we have an active member here that uses the Inspire), I'm confident that it offers great quality.
I think the firepod that you use looks great, but might be overkill
I agree, the FirePod would be serious overkill for your needs. Again, an awesome interface, but you'd be paying for all those Mic PREs, and using 1. That wouldn't make sense, and since the FP isn't cheap...
my talent and engineering knowledge is quite limited
Then I would strongly suggest GB as the software, and then do lots of reading. The weakest link in music production is your engineering skills. Mixing and Mastering (especially the latter) are art forms. A bad engineer using a $10,000 bit of software and hardware would make a fantastic performance sound like garbage. With good engineering skills you can make a pro recording with GB.
The learning curve with something like Logic is dramatically increased, and again, without the skills to take advantage of what it offers, your recordings are not going to sound any better. At the very least, start with GB to learn the skills of Recording/Editing/Mixing/Mastering. The "price of admission" is low enough that if in a year you find that you need a feature GB doesn't offer, your money will not have been wasted, it will have been valuable learning time.
Hope those more specific answers help

JSP with useBean beginner problems need help

I start to learn JSP and now I am facing a problem which cannot be solved for a whole day.
I make a simple JSP and want to use a my defined class to make some logic outside JSP file. It can be built by "ant build".

Besides, my tomcat can run JSP without importing external class or javaBean.
Please help. I really have no idea. Thanks.

Works fine for me, copied and pasted exactly.
Try recompiling your java class again, to make sure it is valid.
Check that the class file is copied into the correct place by your ant build.
Should be WEB-INF/classes/Test/Beans/Converter.class

Question from a beginner, really need help

I am starting to do a little programming these days. The question is about the (program file) format to provide to the end users.
I can use "javac" "java" to compile or run my code in a command prompt window, or use some development tool. But I do not expect the users of my program to install the jdk (or other software) in order to run the program. How to deal with this?
What is the usual last format of a Java Program?
Hope I have made my question clear.
Thanks
Xiaohua

It depends, a good solution is to pack it into a jar file and make it executable, but if you are new to Java (I have no idea how experianced you are) it might give you more trouble than it's worth in the beginning.
You could distribute your .class file (the .java files are only source and can not be executed) and a .bat file which would contain the command to launch the applicaiton. That's how I would do it as a newbie.
Check out an installer program like Inno Setup ( http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php ) if you want a neat way to distribute your files. You can specify a .bat file as being the one executed when the applicaiton is started, that way your program could be run from a start menu entry (sorry, I'm assuming that you are using Windows here, to maintain cross-platform abilities this won't work)
Does this give you an idea? There are many ways to distribute an application. You should also read up on Java Webstart...

Need help with inserting frame with scrolling images

Hi,
Im a beginner and need help putting a single box/frame with scrolling images in the middle of my layout, so that when viewed in browser, the header and footer remain in place, while the images and info in the frame in the centre of the page can be scrolled down/up?

You can use an iframe element <iframe src="" width="" height="" scrolling="yes"> though if you're concerned with crawlers you should avoid frames as much as possible.

Really need help (motor control using labview)

hi all readers,
im new beginner. really need help for my project. i've been assigned to monitor/control motor using labview 8.5 (using NI DAQmx). the problem is, the techinician told me that i cant use 3phase motor with this card. things that i need to displayed using labview is :
torque
power
current
voltage
speed
really appreciated if readers can help me with this:
wut type of motor shud i use that compatible with NI DAQmx
thanks a lot.

Hi fauziana,
NI data acquisition devices are primarily designed to take measurements, so it's a good idea to measure the signals that you have mentioned with a DAQ device.
You also can use DAQ devices for control tasks, but for reliable and deterministic control behavioryou typically need to use a real-time operating system (not Windows!). If you want to learn more about the pros and cons of using DAQ devices for motion control tasks, please refer to these threads. Still for standard motion control tasks it's much more efficient in terms of development time, to use a dedicated motion control device for the motion control part of your application.
In general the control part is independant from the motor type, as these devices only generate control signals (+/- 10 V). There are many power drives available, that accept this type of control signal and you should select your motor according to the requirements of your application.
For a more detailed system consulting, please contact your local NI branch. To select the products that fit best to your application requirements a face to face discussion is much more efficient than a discussion forum thread, because there are a lot of parameters that need to be taken into consideration. If you tell me in which country you are living, I can provide appropriate contact data to you.

Re: Beginner needs help using a array of class objects, and quick

Dear Cynthiaw,
I just read your Beginner needs help using a array of class objects, and quick of Dec 7, 2006 9:25 PM . I really like your nice example.
I also want to put a question on the forum and display the source code of my classe in a pretty way as you did : with colors, indentation, ... But how ? In html, I assume. How did you generate the html code of your three classes ? By help of your IDE ? NetBeans ? References ?
I already posted my question with six source code classes ... in text mode --> Awful : See "Polymorphism did you say ?"
Is there a way to discard and replace a post (with html source code) in the Sun forum ?
Thanks for your help.

Beginner: Need Help : Label Frame

Beginner: Need Help : Label Frame
Hi everyone,
I am trying to find a way to get my menu bar working. Little info, I am a beginner in Flash just learned the essential DVD from Adobe.
My menu bar has the following:
(About Us) (Services) (Quality) (Projects) (Contact Us)
Each page will have a motion shape tween and slide the page down.
I have type in this actions :
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//---aboutus Button Timeline change---\\
aboutus_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutusClick);
function aboutusClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("aboutus");
//---services Button Timeline change---\\
services_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, servicesClick);
function servicesClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("services");
//---quality Button Timeline change---\\
quality_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, qualityClick);
function qualityClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("quality");
//---projects Button Timeline change---\\
projects_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, projectsClick);
function projectsClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("projects");
//---contactus Button Timeline change---\\
contactus_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, contactusClick);
function contactusClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("contactus");
This actions only works when I click to the next labels but doesn't work when I want to click back to the previous labels. For example, if I click onto (About Us) to (Services) and (Services) to (Quality) and (Quality) to Projects and (Projects) to (Contact Us)... it all works. If I then click from (Contact Us) back to (Projects) or even any previous buttons... it does NOT work??
Anyone? Please help!

This is my timeline structure. The code for the action frame is in hi-lite in yellow.
Is this clear enough?
I also tried rewriting the action like below, but still have the same problem.
stop();
aboutus_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onaboutusClick, false, 0, true);
services_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onservicesClick, false, 0, true);
quality_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onqualityClick, false, 0, true);
projects_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onprojectsClick, false, 0, true);
contactus_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, oncontactusClick, false, 0, true);
function onaboutusClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("aboutus");
function onservicesClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("services");
function onqualityClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("quality");
function onprojectsClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("projects");
function oncontactusClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("contactus");

Beginner needing help

how do i publish and upload my Flash CS6 slideshow to my website using cpanel? I created the flash slideshow and now i'm trying to publish it so that i can upload it to my file manage in cpanel

cpanel is normally a feature provided by your web hosting service. If you need help with it you should contact them and ask. Normally there will be instructions provided with cpanel so you might try looking thru them to see how to deal with uploading content to the site.
I cannot speak for what you might have, but in my case, if you are able to log in to your cpanel, look in the Files section for the File Manager and access that. If you poke around within that you should find the option to upload files.

1) When you post code, please use[code] and [/code] tags as described in Formatting tips on the message entry page. It makes it much easier to read.
2) Don't just post a huge pile of code and ask, "How do I make this work?" Ask a specific question, and post just enough code to demonstrate the problem you're having.
3) Don't just write a huge pile of code and then test it. Write a tiny piece, test it. Then write the piece that will work with or use the first piece. Test that by itself--without the first piece. Then put the two together and test that. Only move on to the next step after the current step produces the correct results. Continue this process until you have a complete, working program.

Need help in loading master data.

Hi everyone,
I am just a beginner in BI 7.0 . I know Bw 3.5 . I need help in loading master data(flat file) in a step by step manner.
Before posting this forum i searched and checked out other related forums too, as i am a beginner i am unable to follow them. Lots of the forums gave the help.sap.com link which i used and got a little help but not fully, so please don't send that link. I need a step by step guideline from somebody, which says everything from the beginning till monitoring say like
e.g.. 1) create a InfoObject by right clicking on InfoObject catalog.
something like that.
please help me get a clear and detail step by step procedure to load a master data (Flat File should be good) which may help me get a start will other things without much help.
Please help me learn.
Thanks.
Ranjani.

HI,
Thanks for your reply. This is what i did.
1) Created a Info Area.
2) Created Info object catalog & activated
3) created info object with nothing except some 4 attributes.
4) Created Application compound in Infosource tab.
5) Right clicked on Application compound and chose create Infosource in which chose a option with 3.x and chose the flexible update and gave the info object name.
6) In info provider tab , in the Info Area right clicked and chose the Insert char as data target option.
Now, i am stuck. I have no idea what to do next.
I know i have to create a transformation - There are two tabs in Transformation box, what should i do there.
Please help me from point 6 to cont., to load the data.
Thanks.

Hey Pancenter there are still lots of us about.
I wouldn't take the original post too seriously - I may of course be naive but it sounds like it could be a troll to me!
I learn a lot from reading the posts of the likes of you, Erik, Bee Jay, sampleconstruct, noeqplease etc so I hope you guys don't become too dispondent when you see posts like these.
By the same token, I hope the Logic team continue to use their talents to develop powerful software that caters for the professional user, while allowing Garageband to continue to do its (excellent) job of providing for its market.
