Best way to iniitialize a queue with array elements

Hi Guys
I'm looking for a bit of performance optimization..
I'm developing a noise measurement application using LV8.6 and Win Xp /Win 7.
To put it very simple I have a loop that samples, and a loop that does the math. data is shipped in a queue, producer / consumer style.
So far so good.. Question is - is there a specific and more optimized way to declare this queue?
I was wondering if declaring the queue with an initialized array element of a fixed size (the number of samples pr. read from the sound card will be known at runtime) would produce a queue that would be less heavy on dynamic allocation of memory compared to a queue obtained using a simple control no values.
I've attached a screen dump to maybe make the question more obvious..
I've been thru the "clear as mud" thread, as recommended in other threads that covers this topic - but i gets very high tech, and I kind of lost my way in it.. So looking for a more simple "you should use solution #x, because..."
Thank you in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I believe (but am not sure) RT FIFOs will allocate this memory for you ahead of time. But, remember they are not deterministic on windows. You need to wire an array constant of the correct size into the FIFO read function also to avoid memory allocation, which is easy to overlook. It's worth looking into, if nothing else, assuming you have RT functions available. WIth this method, the queue size needs to be set, and you run the risk of overflowing and losing elements if not handled correctly.
Just throwing other options out there.

What is the BEST way to get my macbook with lion on it, to communicate with my Canon 40D camera?

What is the BEST way to get my macbook with lion on it, to communicate with my Canon 40D camera? It says the utility disk is a PowerPC app and that is no longer supported. What do I do now? I can't upload photos from my camera.

Also, I had the same problem happen when I tried to install an older version of Corel Painter. Are Macbook Pro users just NOT supposed to be able to use their laptops for the purposes they are best designed for?

Best way to fill a datagird with A LOT of data?

What's the best way to fill a datagrid with A LOT of data.
I'm talking about something like 10,000 rows. Can the datagrid
handle it? No screen is large enough to show 10,000 records..... is
there a way to load 50, and then when a user scrolls down it loads
the next 50 etc...?

Right. It's not recommended that you load 10,000 rows into
the datagrid at once. Using the data management service with paging
enabled is a much better solution. See the Configuring the Data
Management Service chapter in the Flex2 Developer's Guide for more
info.

Best way to build a website with hundreds of pages

What is the best way to build a website with hundreds of pages that include businesses in every city of the U.S. I will be building it in Dreamweaver CS4 and pulling the data from an MS Excel spreadsheet.
I started building it by building the first page and then saving a new page with new data and so on.
There must be a way to pull from the Excel doc without copying and pasting each page of data, and there must be a way to build this site smaller and easier to make changes when needed.
Thanks

You already have other people addressing the DB issues - so I will bring up the other... You are just saving a copy as a new page and then copy and pasting the changed content into it?
What you want to do is take the first page, once you have your design done - and save it as a template (file - save as - Dreamweaver Template).
Then you want to select the areas (most likely the divs you have content in) that will have content changed, and select the div or p or whatever element... and go to Insert - Template Objects - Editible Region.
Make sure you don't made editable the areas that are the primary design - such as a logo element, a header image, the navigation etc. If you want to change those - you would do so by making the change on the template, and then it will automatically update all pages made based on that template.
Once you are done setting up the templates - go to your new page and choose Modify - Templates - Apply Template To Page
Select the template you just created (note it will be placed inside of a new folder titled "templates" automatically by Dreamweaver).
Now, any of the areas you selected to add different content into will be selectable, and you can copy/paste or however you are doing so.
Good luck

Best way to share a video with someone in another city...

What is the best way to share a video with someone in another city?
I know that FCPX contains all sorts of share options which create different resolutions and file sizes appropriate for different sites like YouTube, Facebook, and others. But how to create the videos really isn't the problem.
I want to know how to share them. I'm creating videos that are ultimately to be viewed on the internet. When I have a completed video, I want to show it to the person who it is for before I finalize it. I know that if it very small, I could email it. And if it's larger, I could use something like Dropbox. But I don't necessarily want them to have a copy of it (though I could do that and put a watermark on it).
I'd like to upload it to a site like YouTube or Vimeo, but those sites seem to be about sharing videos with a wide audience. I know you can make a video private on YouTube, but, from what I've read, they permanently have the right to use the content, which I definitely don't want.
So what's the best way to do this? I'm going to have to do it regularly, so I'm willing to pay for a service if it assures privacy and does not try to assert some right to my content.
I know there is an issue to be considered with people screen capturing content, but I'll use a watermark to lessen the chances of that.

Hi Russ--
I'll have to read through Vimeo's terms of service, but I have to think they're asserting some right to the content like YouTube does.
Plus, these are commercial videos, and I don't think they allow that. Of course, if they're private, I'm obviously not trying to sell anything. But I have to think that it somehow is against their TOS since me posting a bunch of private videos that nobody can see really doesn't do them any good at all.

You can't share with other devices if you are using different Apple ID's and iTunes account on them. You can only share if you use the same ID.

Best way to organize several versions of Photoshop Elements to conserve disk space?

I have Elements 9, 11, and now Version 12. I am wondering if I should import into Version 12's Organizer all of my previous photo files, then delete or uninstall the older versions of PhotoShop Elements?
Currently running Windows 7 - 64 bit with latest SP installed. I would like to try and keep the hard disk storage fairly lean, and can't help but wonder about the space that is being taken up by having all of these versions of Elements installed! Any advice would be welcome. Thanks for your replies and insights!
BrokenBell

Thank you so much for your input! I sometimes feel that I must be increditable stupid as I try to get BOTH organized but also learn how to use all of the features found in Photoshop Elements. Part of the reason that I say this, is because I have always been pressed for time, so I try & do one most pressing thing, that usually doesn't turn out quite like it was described it would or could be, and then I'm off to take care of more pressing issues, and don't get back to trying it after days or weeks have passed, so its kinda of like starting all over again.
Again, thanks for your reply and input!
Sincerely,

The organizer does not store your photos, only links to their locations on the hard disk. So all your different versions will be looking at the same image file, so no duplication of the photos themselves.
If you find yourself using features in 9 or 11 that were removed in later versions (e.g. interactive photomerge, magic extractor, lighting effects etc ...) I'd be inclined to leave them installed unless you are critically short of disk space.
Cheers,
Neale

Best way to share iTunes library with two user accounts?

I have a single iTunes library on my Macbook Pro. I would like to share between to user accounts, each with Apple ID's. What's the best way to do so? Right now, I've given the second user rights to read/write to the first users "Music" folder. But when one user adds song files, the other must "Add Folder" in order to see the new purchases. It's kind of putsy. Is there a better way? Thanks!

Hello again,
Have the iTunes Library located in the Shared Folder for instance and then launch iTunes in both users while holding option (or alt) on your keyboard. Choose the iTunes library file wherever it may be located. You can keep it in the same spot if you want (i.e. your Music folder). Many people have their's on a local network hard drive and do this.
The benefit is that when one user updates the iTunes library file, the next user will open an updated version that has all songs that the other user added.
Since you have one computer shared, this should be fine. I am unsure what happens when multiple computers/users access the library file at the same time.

What is the best way to manage multiple devices with one iMac - different users with seperate itunes accounts or one mac user with different itune logons and libraries?

Hello
I have just purchased an imac which I am very happy with. In our household we also have two iphones (one mine and one husbands) and one ipod (my sons). We all have individual itunes accounts set up on our previous computer (not a mac). We have sepereate apps and music, although there may be the odd occasion where we would like to share a song (if this is possible) across devices.
I am just wondering the best way to manage these devices using the new imac. Should I create individual accounts to logon to the imac, then from within these launch our own itunes accounts and sync our devices with these. Or should I be using one version of itunes, logging on to this with our different itunes usernames and storing things in libraries.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am presuming that we cannot share downloaded apps and music between accounts because of the copyright issue,
Though I'm no copyright lawyer, as long as it's within a household, you can share content among users. Such sharing is, absent specific language preventing it not present in the iTunes Store terms of use, generally considered to be "personal use". So you can share apps and music amongst your users on your computer and with their devices. You just can't give any of that content to friends or relatives who don't live with you.
What I am not clear on, it making sure that this appears in each itunes account - is it easy to find the file storage folders that match the itunes accounts and what would these be?
The iTunes library and files are by default in a user's Home/Music folder. But you don't have to find the folder; in fact putting a file into the folder yourself won't add the file to iTunes. Just drag the file into the iTunes window. iTunes will copy it to the correct location.

I need to know best way to edit MXF files, with least rendering, is that converting the MXF or Log and Transfer? the end product is dvd, but I have lots and lots of these projects to do.

I am about to comence my Edit, and was told of Mpeg Streamclip, however this doesn't seem to work with my Canon XF305 Clips, the reason I was told to use it was so I wouldn't have to Render in Final Cut Pro all the time.. I do have the Canon Disc with the Plug in Utility and the update from their site.
Is it best to Convert these MXF files first and import them into FCP or use 'Log and Transfer', so far I am unable to do either!!
The projects on the timeline will have introduction .Movs already on it as a Template to re-use again and again with the new Footage ( MXF Files ) to be added and edited with transitions etc..This process is repeated again and again but with different MXF clips each time.
I am looking for the quickest and best way for workflow as there are 80 or more projects to do, each with 10 or so clips to be added to the timeline and Exported for DVD...Will I have to then Compress to fit onto DVD's??
I know Streamclip is an Mepeg 2 app but I thought the Canon XF305 Shot as mpeg2....
Is Log and Transfer my only Option?
Basically I need to know the quickest for Render purposes, and of course, the best way so the files aren't so huge etc etc.
Please, any suggestions would be greatly received....

We only work with PR422 files in FC7. We use Shane's workflow with all 5D & MXF footage.
Make your life easier and stick to the ProRes family for your footage and edit sequences. Avoid H264 & convert any you have to ProRes.
Unless you are considering Blu-Ray the only way to deliver video on a DVD is to convert it to SD.
Depending on the length of your show you can make a Blu-Ray in Compressor but you have very limited authoring options when compared to DVD Studio Pro.
Compressor can also convert your HD to SD mpg-2 & Ac3 files. The best results usually come from setting the frame controls in the mpg-2 setting of Compressor to best. Depending on the the length of the show and your Qmaster settings this can take quite a while.
I personally find Compressor's HD to SD DVD conversion varies. Sometimes it is wonderful and sometimes not so much. I prefer the following as it is usually is faster and very consistent.
Export a quicktime movie (not QT conversion) of your final sequence
Import the exported HD file back into FC.
Create a SD 16x9 sequence and then drop in the recently exported HD seq and render. Rendering the sequence basically has FC doing the HD to SD conversion. Export the SD sequence and then convert to mpg-2 & ac3 in Compressor. While this does take time I still find it faster than Compressor with Qmaster utilizing all cores.
Another option is using jobs in Compressor
http://pixelcorps.cachefly.net/macbreak-154-540p-h264.mov
In this workflow you would have Compressor convert the HD file to SD and then through jobs convert the SD file to mpg2 & Ac3.
In theory the jobs version could be faster (based on a number of variables- length, Qmaster, etc) but I haven't had time to compare the two.

What is the best way to manage photos - Dropbox (with sync), Facebook (with sync), iPhoto, etc.?

With so many cloud based and wireless syncing services, I'm lost as to the simplest way to keep photos sync'd as well as backed up. My dropbox is currently syncing all photos I take with my iphone, but in an overall folder called CAMERA UPLOADS, so they are uncategorized. I upload pics to facebook, which facebook also has a sync photos feature, but I don't necessarily want all photos uploaded to facebook. What has worked best for everyone so that there aren't a ton of dupicate photos everywhere, and multiple syncs of the same photos?
Also, what is the best way to manage my iPhone photos generally? I'm never sure if I delete a photo from my phone, does it delete it on my computer via iCloud? Sometimes I just take a picture to send to a friend that I don't need to keep, while others are ones I want to sync to my computer. Can I control when deleting that it be deleted everywhere or just on the device? And alternately, can I choose certain photos not to sync via iCloud?
iCloud makes me nervous. Once when I wanted to place all photos of my pup into a folder, I selected the photos on my iPhone and accidentally clicked delete instead of move. No big deal, I figured they'd be at home sync'd on the cloud. But since I'd deleted them on my phone, the cloud deleted them on my home computer too and the photos were lost.

What's the best way to create XML file with a schema from a database table?

Hi,
I want to create an XML file from a database table (which has over 600 columns) using XML schema (.xsd file). I want to know the best way to do this.
The output XML file is NOT a direct data dump from the DB table, there�re some logic around it, such as the XML file has some hierarchy with repeating tags.
I have done this using JAXB by creating Java classes form XML schema, but I don�t want to map 600 DB columns to these Java classes manually, and loop through the record set to create repeating tags.
I know there are few tools around now like MapForce (Altova), how do people do these now?
Thanks,
Chandi

Can you use a schema when we compose XML doc from Database tables?

Best way to create slide show with last photo having links

What are some of the best ways to create a slide show (more like a season greeting flash) with the last photo having links and buttons for the viewer to click?
I already have the code for the slide show. What I need now is how do I reference or point to a keyframe that contains the last slide as the background with buttons and hyperlinks? Perhaps, I also need a way to not showing this slide until the last? How do I do that? This last slide with buttons and links are on it's own layer.
The other route would be to create the buttons and hyperlinks in the AS3 code instead of design time. If so, how do I do on the last slide?
