Beginner needs help with simple task

Hi folks,
I'm just getting started learning LabVIEW.  In the VI I'm making, I'm trying to count the number of times a button is pressed (see attachments).  When the button is in the True state, the Cycles Counted value is incremented.  But when the button is in the False state, how do I make the Cycles Counted value unchanged?
Thanks,
Eric

Here is a really simple VI. The count boolean is set to latched when pressed.

  • Beginner needs help with simple code.

    I just statrted learnind java, and I need some help with this simple program. For some reason everytime I enter my Farenheit value, the Celsius conversion returns as 0.0. Would really appreciate the help. Thanks.
    Here's the code:
    public class TempConverter
    public static void main(String[] args)
    double F = Double.parseDouble(args[0]);
    System.out.println("Temperature in Farenheit is: " + F);
    double C = 5 / 9;
    C *= (F - 32);
    System.out.println("Temperature in Celsius is: " + C);
    }

    double C = 5 / 9This considers "5" and "9" to be integers and does an integer division, discarding the remainder. The result of that division is 0. Trydouble C = 5.0/9.0;

  • Need Help With Simple ABAP Code

    Hello,
    I'm loading data from a DSO (ZDTBMAJ) to an Infocube (ZCBRAD06). I need help with ABAP code to some of the logic in Start Routine. DSO has 2 fields: ZOCTDLINX & ZOCBRDMAJ.
    1. Need to populate ZOCPRODCD & ZOCREFNUM fields in Infocube:
        Logic:-
        Lookup /BI0/PMATERIAL, if /BIC/ZOCBRDMAJ = /BIC/OIZOCBRDMAJ
        then /BIC/ZOCPRODCD = ZOCPRODCD in Infocube
               /BIC/ZOCREFNUM = ZOCREFNUM in Infocube         
    2. Need to populate 0G_CWWTER field in Infocube:
        Logic:
        Lookup /BIC/PZOCTDLINX, if /BIC/ZOCTDLINX = BIC/OIZOCTDLINX
        then G_CWWTER = 0G_CWWTER in Infocube.
    I would need to read single row at a time.
    Thanks!

    I resolved it.

  • I need help with simple problems. im a student.

    i'd like to be advanced with my studies so i will post questions.. i need help on how to answer. thank you.
    1. create a java program that will evaluate if the value entered is a positive, negative, vowel, consonant and special characters.
    im actually done with the positive and negative using if else statements.. i used an integer data type. now my question is how do conjoin the characters when i need to evaluate a vowel and a consonant. i cant use char either. please help. i dont know what to do yet.
    2. create java program that will translate the input from numbers to words. e.g. input:123 output: one hundred twenty-three.
    i have an idea to use a switch case statement. but i have no idea on how will i be able to do it. so if you guys can help me.. well then thankies..

    Welcome to the Sun forums. First, please note that you have posted in the wrong forum. This forum is for topics related to Sun's JavaHelp product. You should post your questions in the New to Java forum.
    As part of your learning, you will have to develop the ability to select an approach to a problem, create a design that reflects that approach, and then implement the design with code that you create.
    So, it's inappropriate for us to take the problem statement that you have been given and short-circuit your learning process by giving you the implemented problem solution. We can comment on the individual questions that you may have, and point out problems and errors that we see in the code that you develop.
    As a hint, when you are stuck, forget about Java and programming. Just start with a sheet of paper and a pencil, and figure out how to layout the task on paper. The consider how to translate that to programming.
    If you have problems, post short example code that shows the problem, and explain your question clearly. We can't read minds.

  • Need help with simple XML validation

    I am new to Spry and need some help creating a simple
    validation. There is a form field which must not contain a value
    already in the database. I have a script which accepts a parameter
    and returns a boolean result. Here is the XML:
    <samples>
    <sample>
    <ISFOUND>0</ISFOUND>
    </sample>
    </samples>
    1. How do I call this script when the form field changes and
    pass the form value as the parameter?
    2. How do I check the returned value in the XML and throw an
    error if true?
    I appreciate any help with this. Please let me know if there
    is a better way to achieve the same result.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    I enabled the call to the XML response. However, I am having
    trouble identifying when the call is complete so I can parse the
    result. How do I run my check after the data load and display the
    proper message?

  • Need Help with simple array program!

    Hi, I have just recently started how to use arrays[] in Java and I'm a bit confused and need help designing a program.
    What this program does, it reads in a range of letters specified by the user. The user then enters the letters (a, b or c) and stores these characters into an array, which the array's length is equal to the input range the user would enter at the start of the program. The program is then meant to find how many times (a,b and c) appears in the array and the Index it first appears at, then prints these results.
    Here is my Code for the program, hopefully this would make sense of what my program is suppose to do.
    import B102.*;

    }     Some errors i get with my program are:
    When reading in the letters to store into the array, I get the last letter I entered placed into the entire array. Also I believe my code to find the Index is incorrect.
    Example Testing: How many letters would you like to read? 3
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): a
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): b
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): c
    It prints "There are no a's'" (there should be 1 a at index 0)
    "There are no b's" (there should be 1 b at index 1)
    and "There are 3 c's, first appearing at index 0" ( there should be 1 c at index 2)
    The last thing is that my code for when the user enters "#" that the input of letters would stop and the program would then continue over to the counting and searching part for the letters, my I believe is correct but I get the same problem as stated above where the program takes the character "#" and stores it into the entire array.
    Example Testing:How many letters would you like to read? 3
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): a
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): #
    It prints "There are no a's'" (should have been 1 a at index 0)
    "There are no b's"
    and "There are no c's"
    Can someone please help me??? or does anyone have a program simular to this they have done and would'nt mind showing me how it works?
    Thanks
    lou87.

    Without thinking too much...something like this
    for(int start = 0; start < size; start++) {
                System.out.println("Please enter a letter (a, b or c) ("+size+" max), enter # to stop:");
                input = Keybd.in.readChar();
                while((input != 'a') && (input != 'b') && (input != 'c') && (input != '#')) {
                    Screen.out.println("Invalid Input");
                    System.out.println("Please enter a letter (a, b or c) ("+size+" max, enter # to stop:");
                    input = Keybd.in.readChar();
                if(input == '#') {
                        break;
                letter[start] = input;
            }you dont even need to do start = size; coz with the break you go out of the for loop.

  • Need help with simple InDesign task!?

    I am trying to take about 30 pictures and create one big PDF booklet with captions on the pictures. My problem is, when I "place" these pictures in InDesign, the pictures show up like thumbnail size, these pics are all 712 x 1072, I have no clue why it shows up so small. How can I fix this? Your help is appreciated. Thanks!

    When this happened to me some time ago, I had no clue why it seemed to start suddenly. I still don't. However, the what is most likely that the default size or magnification for a placed graphic has been set to whatever you're seeing. I don't think I did this inadvertently, but I'm sure I didn't do it intentionally.
    I think replacing the preferences got rid of the problem without making me smarter about how to avoid it happening suddenly again.
    To replace preferences, quit InDesign, and before restarting, place the fingers of one hand lightly on the Command+Option+Shift+Control keys (on Macintosh) or Ctrl+Alt+Shift (on Windows), and as soon as you double click the InDesign icon with your other hand, to launch it, press all the keys and hold them down until you see an alert asking if you want to replace your preferences.
    If you have many carefully set preferences, you may want to search for information on how to save your preferences files, rather than destroy them this way. If replacing doesn't fix the problem, you can restore the preference files and restart, then perhaps consider reinstalling InDesign.

  • Need help with simple file sharing application

    I have an assignment to build a Java File Sharing application. Since I'm relatively new to programming, this is not gonna be an easy task for me.
    Therefore I was wondering if there are people willing to help me in the next few days. I will ask questions in this thread, there will be loads of them.
    I already have something done but I'm not nearly halfway finished.
    Is there a code example of a simple file sharing application somewhere? I didn't manage to find it.
    More-less, this is what it needs to contain:
    -client/server communication (almost over)
    -file sending (upload, download)
    -file search function (almost over)
    -GUI of an application.
    GUI is something I will do at the end, hopefully.
    I hope someone will help me. Cheers
    One more thing, I'm not asking for anyone to do my homework. I will only be needing some help in the various steps of building an application.
    As I said code examples are most welcome.
    This is what I have done so far

                    out.newLine();
            out.close();
    }Request For File
    package ToJeTo;
    import java.util.*;
    public class RequestForFile {
        static ArrayList<String> listOfUsersWithFile = new ArrayList<String>();
        Scanner input;
        String fileName;
        public RequestForFile() {
            System.out.println("Type the wanted filename here: ");
            input = new Scanner(System.in);
            fileName = input.nextLine();
            for (User u : UserManager.allTheUsers) {
                for (String str : User.listOfFiles) {
                    if (str.equalsIgnoreCase(fileName))
                        listOfUsersWithFile.add(u.nickname);
        public RequestForFile(String fileName) {
            for (User u : UserManager.allTheUsers) {
                for (String str : User.listOfFiles) {
                    if (str.equalsIgnoreCase(fileName))
                        listOfUsersWithFile.add(u.nickname);
        public static List<String> getAll() {
            for (int i = 0; i < listOfUsersWithFile.size(); i++) {
                //System.out.println("User that has the file: " + listOfUsersWithFile.get(i));
            return listOfUsersWithFile;
    }Now this is the general idea.
    The user logs in with his nickname and ip address. He defines his own shared folder and makes it available for other users that log on to server.
    Now each user has their own list of files from a shared folder. It's an ArrayList.
    User manager class is there to store another list, a list of users that are connected with server.
    When the user is searching for a particular file, he is searching through all the users and their respective files lists. Therefore for each loop inside a for each loop.
    Now the problem is how to connect all that with Client and Server class and put it into one piece.
    GUI should look somewhat like this:

  • Beginner - Need Help With Soundboard

    Hey everyone,
    I'm just learning Flash, and from various online tutorials, I
    have managed to get this far with the soundboard I want to make.
    Example Soundboard -
    Here
    As you can see from the example, this will be a very simple
    soundboard. All I want it to do is trigger and loop sounds, like it
    does now. But I have a couple things more I want it to do.
    In the example, in the "Over" state of the buttons, I've
    added text to show what each button will trigger (Test Loop 1, Test
    Loop 2).
    But once the sound is triggered (via OnRelease) and the user
    moves the cursor off the button - I want the Over state mode of the
    button to remain showing as the audio loop plays (so the user
    visually sees what audio loop is currently playing).
    How would I do this?
    Also, I'm considering making each button be it's own on/off
    control, instead of a completely separate "Off" button.
    I've found 4-5 different online tutorials to accomplish this
    same feature. And have tried and succeeded at doing some of them.
    But what I would like to know is, what method would be the
    easiest and most compatible, inconjunction to what I would like to
    do above?
    Last question...
    On the example soundboard, I notice that if you hover the
    cursor over where the text appears (Test Loop 1, Test Loop 2) it
    flickers the Over state of the buttons.
    Why does it do this, and can that be prevented?
    I know for a lot of you, these are probably simple questions.
    So, Hopefully someone can help me out. I've already done a lot
    searching for solutions, as well as tried the Flash "Help". But as
    a beginner, I'm not sure exactly what I need to search for.
    Any help will be sincerely appreciated!
    Thanks!

    1. you need to use movieclip buttons instead of true buttons
    to have better control of their up, over and down states.
    2. you can make each button a toggle by using toggle variable
    that you have execute one set of statements when the toggle is true
    and another set with the toggle variable is false. you'll "toggle"
    that variable each time your button is released
    3. you're seeing those problems with the text flickering
    because that text must be part of your buttons hit area..

  • Need Help with Simple Chat Program

    Hello Guys,
    I'm fairly new to Java and I have a quick question regarding a simple chat program in java. My problem is that I have a simple chat program that runs from its own JFrame etc. Most of you are probably familiar with the code below, i got it from one of my java books. In any case, what I'm attempting to do is integrate this chat pane into a gui that i have created. I attempted to call an instace of the Client class from my gui program so that I can use the textfield and textarea contained in my app, but it will not allow me to do it. Would I need to integrate this code into the code for my Gui class. I have a simple program that contains chat and a game. The code for the Client is listed below.
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;

    Thanks for ur help!i have moved BufferedReader outside the loop. I dont think i am getting exception as i can c the output once.What i am trying to do is repeat the process which i m getting once.What my method does is first one sends the packet to multicasting group (UDP) and other method receives the packets and prints.

  • Absolute Beginner needs help with applet

    Hello folks,
    I know I have already started a topic on this, but it was getting a bit long and I wasn't getting anywhere with it. Here's my problem... first of all, I am new to Java, especially with Applets. I attempted to create the HelloWorld applet from this site's First Cup of Java tutorial. I was able to compile the java file fine, but when I attemted to add the applet to an html file, I get a message at the bottom taskbar saying "load: class HelloWorld not found". I can't figure out what is wrong with my code. I have all my files (html, java, and class files) in one folder, with no subfolders at all. In case it matters, I'm on a Windows 98 machine with IE 6.0 for my browser. Here is the code:
    First my HelloWorld.java file, which, as I said, compiles with no problems
    import java.applet.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    * The HelloWorld class implements an applet that
    * simply displays "Hello World!".
    public class HelloWorld extends Applet {
         public void paint (Graphics g) {
              //Display "Hello World!"
              g.drawString("Hello World!", 50, 25);
    }And here is the HTML file which is supposed to display the applet:
    <html>
         <head>
              <title>A Simple Program</title>
         </head>
         <body>
              Here is the output of my program:
              <applet code="HelloWorld.class" width="150" height="25">
              </applet>
         </body>
    </html>Can someone please check this and see what, if anything, is wrong?

    Hi Chris,
    This isn't going to help much. I took your Java code
    and put it in a file HelloWorld.java. I took your HTML
    code and put it in a file HelloWorld.html. I compiled
    HelloWorld.java with javac so that I had HelloWorld.class.
    I then ran the program with appletviewer by typing
    appletviewer HelloWorld.html.
    It loaded and ran fine.
    Since that sounds like exactly what you are doing,
    I'm not sure what else to suggest. (I could also
    run it by opening the HTML file with IE.)
    There are only two things that still suggest themselves,
    and they seem like long-shots:
    1) Is the file named HelloWorld.java that contains your
    code (including the capital W)? This is obviously a
    long-shot because your code shouldn't compile if this
    was set incorrectly.
    2) Is it possible that you have the CLASSPATH environmental
    variable set? Some programs (like QuickTime for Java)
    will set the CLASSPATH and then Java just stops working.
    You can find out by typing SET at the command prompt and
    looking for CLASSPATH. If you find it, then you'll probably
    need to remove it from your AUTOEXEC.BAT (in Windows 98),
    or update it to include the runtime classes for the SDK.

  • Raw Beginner need help with Adobe Photoshop CS2

    I am reading Photoshop CS2 for digital photographers by Scott Kelby. I am looking at pg 55 if any one has this book and would like to visually see what I am about to describe. I own Adobe Photoshop CS2 software. After bringing up Adobe bride RAW on my PC, I then see all the settings, Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation.. Located directly above all of these settings is Auto and Default which you can click on and adjust all settings at the same time. If you don't like what you see you click on Default to go back to the original, you can then make your adjustments individually. In my CS2 book there is an Auto box you can check or un-check beside each setting, Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, and Contrast. My question is how do I get the Auto box beside each setting so I can simply put a check in that box and preview changes individually instead of the Auto and Default on top which changes every setting at the same time? I hope this make since to you, if not I will try to explain again.

    Thank you Ramon for your help. I will just be happy with what I have, which works fine but I thought it might be better for me to have the individual Auto check box for each setting. Thank you for the tip to double-click the sliders to reset it to default, it works in CS2 also:) Actually this gives me more control and works out great now that I think about it. I am sure there are more handy little tips I should know about but don't because I am a beginner in learning RAW. Hopefully I'll stumble across a book or some thing over the internet that will help me with my learning curve.

  • URL: newbie needs help with simple programming question!

    Hi everyone,
    Please direct me to a FAQ or other resource, or help me with this problem:
    I want to create a text field (or similar container) that contains both ordinary text AND a URL/hyperlink in it. For example, the following text might appear in the text field:
    "I have many _pictures_ from my vacation"
    where the word "pictures" is actually a hyperlink to a web site, and the other portions of the string are simple text.
    All advice and help is appreciated!

    Thanks all for replying,
    The error occurs when I run the client and not at deploy time. Here is the client code:
         public void addComment(Integer primaryKey, String comment) {
              System.out.println("primaryKey------>" + primaryKey);
              try {
                   PGEstablishmentLocalHome establishmentHome = (PGEstablishmentLocalHome) PGServiceLocator.getInstance().getLocalHome("PGEstablishmentHome_L");
                   PGEstablishmentLocal establishmentLocal = establishmentHome.findByPrimaryKey(primaryKey);
                   establishmentLocal.addComment(primaryKey,comment);
              } catch (PGServiceLocatorException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              } catch (FinderException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
    u haven't defined the PK entry in the Establishment EJB Bean in DDYes look in the standard DD.
    What's more I need both DD as I would with most ejb containers.
    The field DB_ESTABLISHMENT_ID is required and I cannot set it to NULL.
    Any other help greatly appreciated.
