Button - Varying pause trigger time

Captivate 8.0.1.242 - Windows 7 - 64 bit - swf format
I'm adding a button which runs an advanced action expression exactly as this post (CP8 - add a replay button on a slide). I have a 1 minute CPVC video. Now, I want this replay button to be present always but not pause the slide. I have other buttons from the master slide which takes care of pausing before slide exit. But this replay button comes with a pause. Anyway, like every other button, I try to move the pause in the timeline using mouse drag and drop to the end of the time line around 59 seconds. But every time i drag beyond the current time line display threshold which 17 seconds when captivate is maxed out, the pause goes back to around 3 or 4 seconds in the timeline. This is so weird. I dont even need this pause and if i try to atleast move it beyond the video length, I'm facing this problem.

Do you like it to be controlled? You can get workspaces back if switching over to Expert mode, just select the 4th option in Preferences, General Settings, 'Enable custom ....'. Then you can have all the panels open and even floating. You see in my screenshot that I have 4 panels in the right docking station in my normal workspace, and I have the Master Slide panel in the bottom docking station, because I want to have both Filmstrip and Master slides at my fingertips. In Quizzing I have both Quizzing Properties (left) and Properties visible and the Advanced Interaction floating and reduced to its title. Saves a lot of time.
Can you change the pausing of the button in the Timing Panel?

Stop and Pause Buttons and Estimated Execution Time

I have more or less completed my programme (as attached).
I am just left with two doubts - first: is it possible to let the user know the estimated time to finish executing the entire code/ running the entire experiment on my devices?
I am currently trying to calculate this estimated time by using the arithmetic functions and time stamp. I tried putting on both the left and right sides of my case structure but it never runs - I tired running the code and after all other commands are executed, the estimated time is still not displayed. I suspect that even if the estimated time is displayed, it would only be displayed after all other commands are executed.
I have tried looking up on timed structures but they don't seem to fit the job.
Do you have any advice on this?
Second: While loops could only be stopped (by pressing my 'STOP' button/Boolean that is linked to the loop condition) only after the first execution of the loop. How could I let my user stop the execution of code during the first run of the loop or should I wire my code differently using another structure?
As for the 'Pause' button to pause the VI, I have read about the 'Wait for' function (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/glang/wait_for_front_panel_act/). I am not sure if this is the right function I am looking for and if this function enables the user to 'un-pause'/toggle the switch and enable the execution of the subsequent commands.
This function seems useful but it does not solve the problem of the while loop having to execute at least once before I terminate it and it seems like this function acts like a 'Stop' function that exits the loop, terminating all commands instead of pausing the VI.
What is your advice on this?
Thank you so so much!

Stop timer, and link button to stop the timer

the problem is the timer will automatially run until the end whenever i turn the button and how could i pause the time and control the timer. Furthermore, how could i link the operational(Wash,Rinse,Spin,Soak) and water level to set the timer?

In your code, the timer implementation doesn't include pause feature.
Try out the attached timer, I made while practising for CLD exam, it has PAUSE feature.

DAQmx: Gating Pulses with Pause Trigger

I have an NI 9401 module in a 9171 chassis and would like to gate the output of one counter with the output of another counter. Counter 1 (the signal to be gated) generates a 3 Mhz signal and Counter 0 (the gate) generates a 10 Hz signal that is externally routed to Counter 1's Gate pin. I expected this would gate Counter 1's signal to produce the 3 Mhz pulse only when Counter 0 is high, but the wiring had no affect on the output of Counter 1, it still generated a continuous 3 Mhz pulse train. I found that some code is needed to get a counter to pay attention to the signal at its Gate pin (this post was particularly helpful) and that this can be done with the Pause Trigger property node. After setting up the node, however, I ran into this error:
Error -20124 occured at DAQmx Start Task.vi:2
Lines 4 to 7 of this port are configured for input. Cannot configure these lines for output at this time.
I'm pretty perplexed by this. The problem seems to be coming from trying to designate PFI 5 ("CTR 1 Gate" on the 9401) as the Pause Trigger source. If anything, I would think the error would be that lines 4 to 7 are configured for output, since those lines are grouped under CTR 1 which is configured as a CO channel to generate the 3 Mhz pulse train, and that setting line 5 as the Pause Trigger source is changing the configuration to an input. Searching for this error in the NI forums and Google doesn't pull up any troubleshooting information. I've tried to create a task to configure line 5 as a seperate digital input channel, but then I get the opposite error (Error -200125) saying that lines 4 to 7 are configured for output and cannot be configured to input, to make things more confusing.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm concerned that I'm missing something obvious about gating pulses or configuring CO channels since I keep reading that one of the advantages of DAQmx over DAQ Legacy is that it makes signal routing easier. I'm using LabVIEW 2012 (32-bit) with DAQmx 9.5.5 installed.

Hi agoncalves,
I took a quick look at your VI and I see two immediate problems:
1. There is not guarantee that both tasks will reserve before either one starts. This explains your error and why it seems confusing. The 9401 is nibble configurable but you can't change the direction while the device is in use (why the reserves are important). The module powers up with both nibbles set to input. Your first task drives an output so it switches direction on one of them. When your task is committed (started) it locks in that configuration. The second task then tries to also drive an output but on the other nibble which is input and cannot be switched because the first task is running. The solution is to use the error wire to force the execution order (or use a flat sequence structure).
2. You'll run into problems with your gating signal unless you wire it into a separate input (and put both pulse trains on the same nibble). You can change that by setting the channel property CO.Pulse.Term. That's if you want to route your signal through some external circuitry and back in. If you are using the signal directly, you could just use it internally. Such as /cDAQ1Mod1/ctr0InternalOutput

Default button being clicked multiple times when enter key is pressed

Hello,
There seems to be a strange difference in how the default button behaves in JRE 1.4.X versus 1.3.X.
In 1.3.X, when the enter key was pressed, the default button would be "pressed down" when the key was pressed, but wouldn't be fully clicked until the enter key was released. This means that only one event would be fired, even if the enter key was held down for a long time.
In 1.4.X however, if the enter key is pressed and held for more than a second, then the default button is clicked multiple times until the enter key is released.
Consider the following code (which is just a dialog with a button on it):
public class SimpleDialog extends JDialog implements java.awt.event.ActionListener
private JButton jButton1 = new JButton("button");
public SimpleDialog()
this.getContentPane().add(jButton1);
this.getRootPane().setDefaultButton(jButton1);
jButton1.addActionListener(this);
this.pack();
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
if (e.getSource() == jButton1)
System.out.println("button pressed");
public static void main(String[] args)
new SimpleDialog().show();
When you compile and run this code under 1.3.1, and hold the enter key down for 10 seconds, you will only see one print line statement.
However, if you compile and run this code under 1.4.1, and then hold the enter key down for 10 seconds, you will see about 100 print line statements.
Is this a bug in 1.4.X or was this desired functionality (e.g. was it fixing some other bug)?
Does anyone know how I can make it behave the "old way" (when the default button was only clicked once)?
Thanks in advance if you have any advice.
Dave

Hello all,
I think I have found a solution. The behaviour of the how the default button is triggered is contained withing the RootPaneUI. So, if I override the default RootPaneUI used by the UIDefaults with my own RootPaneUI, I can define that behaviour for myself.
Here is my simple dialog with a button and a textfield (when the focus is NOT on the button, and the enter key is pressed, I don't want the actionPerformed method to be called until the enter key is released):
package focustests;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
public class SimpleDialog extends JDialog implements java.awt.event.ActionListener
private JButton jButton1 = new JButton("button");
public SimpleDialog()
this.getContentPane().add(new JTextField("a text field"), BorderLayout.NORTH);
this.getContentPane().add(jButton1, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
this.getRootPane().setDefaultButton(jButton1);
jButton1.addActionListener(this);
this.pack();
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
if (e.getSource() == jButton1)
System.out.println("button pressed");
public static void main(String[] args)
javax.swing.UIManager.getDefaults().put("RootPaneUI", "focustests.MyRootPaneUI");
new SimpleDialog().show();
and the MyRootPaneUI class controls the behaviour for how the default button is handled:
package focustests;
import javax.swing.*;
* Since we are using the Windows look and feel in our product, we should extend from the
* Windows laf RootPaneUI
public class MyRootPaneUI extends com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsRootPaneUI
private final static MyRootPaneUI myRootPaneUI = new MyRootPaneUI();
public static javax.swing.plaf.ComponentUI createUI(JComponent c) {
return myRootPaneUI;
protected void installKeyboardActions(JRootPane root) {
super.installKeyboardActions(root);
InputMap km = SwingUtilities.getUIInputMap(root,
JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW);
if (km == null) {
km = new javax.swing.plaf.InputMapUIResource();
SwingUtilities.replaceUIInputMap(root,
JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW, km);
//when the Enter key is pressed (with no modifiers), trigger a "pressed" event
km.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ENTER,
0, false), "pressed");
//when the Enter key is released (with no modifiers), trigger a "release" event
km.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ENTER,
0, true), "released");
ActionMap am = SwingUtilities.getUIActionMap(root);
if (am == null) {
am = new javax.swing.plaf.ActionMapUIResource();
SwingUtilities.replaceUIActionMap(root, am);
am.put("press", new HoldDefaultButtonAction(root, true));
am.put("release", new HoldDefaultButtonAction(root, false));
* This is a copy of the static nested class DefaultAction which was
* contained in the JRootPane class in Java 1.3.1. Since we are
* using Java 1.4.1, and we don't like the way the new JRE handles
* the default button, we will replace it with the old (1.3.1) way of
* doing things.
static class HoldDefaultButtonAction extends AbstractAction {
JRootPane root;
boolean press;
HoldDefaultButtonAction(JRootPane root, boolean press) {
this.root = root;
this.press = press;
public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent e) {
JButton owner = root.getDefaultButton();
if (owner != null && SwingUtilities.getRootPane(owner) == root) {
ButtonModel model = owner.getModel();
if (press) {
model.setArmed(true);
model.setPressed(true);
} else {
model.setPressed(false);
public boolean isEnabled() {
JButton owner = root.getDefaultButton();
return (owner != null && owner.getModel().isEnabled());
This seems to work. Does anyone have any comments on this solution?
Tjacobs, I still don't see how adding a key listeners or overriding the processKeyEvent method on my button would help. The button won't receive the key event unless the focus is on the button. There is no method "enableEvents(...)" in the AWTEventMulticaster. Perhaps you have some code examples? Thanks anyway for your help.

AO Generation using Pause trigger

Hi all ,
I'm trying to do an Analog Generation with my X-Series NI-6356 DAQ ,
My problem is that I want to make 5 tests each one with 200 points that reflects as a linear wavee for the AO.
I'm using DAQmxWriteAnalogF64 but this command is too slow 100 ms over USB!
And I don't have that time.
So I Want to use a Pause trigger.
I'll set a buffer of 1000 points and I want to make 5 tests:
test 1 - AO of 1-200 from the buffer
test 2 - AO of 200-400 from the buffer
test 3 - AO of 400-600 from the buffer
test 4 - AO of 600-800 from the buffer
test 5 - AO of 800-1000 from f the buffer
my questions are :
1. Is it possible ?
2. Is there any example I can use ?

Read analog trigger signal gated by digital pause trigger

Hi!
I want to use and analog trigger together with digital pause trigger. At the same time i want to see on the scope the analog trigger signal which was gated by gate signal. Is it possible? Can i somehow wire the gated trigger to one of the outputs of the board?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sergei_phys,
Thank you for the forum post!
I have a few questions about your post:
What hardware are you using? Is it NI or 3rd party? You mention using a scope, is that a NI piece of hardware/module?
In theory you can have a analog trigger to start the acquisition and a digital trigger to pause , but it depends of the hardware.
Thanks,

Does "pause trigger" have a status flag?

Hi,
I am using a BNC2110 with PCI6133 multifunction DAQ card. I am reading random analog voltage pulses on one channel for now, and using the "Pause Trigger" properties (on trigger property node) so that the read task only takes in samples from the pulses, and not samples of the baseline noise between pulses. This works ok. But is there a way of signalling when the pause trigger has actually started and stopped (at the rising and falling edges of a pulse, respectively)? I want to use these signals to index the collected data so that I know where in the data any one pulse starts and ends, and so keep all pulse data separate, but in one array.
Many thanks,
Oliver.

Hi Oliver
One thing you could do it to look for a timeout error to flag when a pause occurs. The time-out error code is -200284. If you set the timeout value to the minimum (1) you can keep checking for the timeout and set a boolean to true when a timeout occurs. So if the boolean is true you know you have a pause, if the boolean is false you know you are reading in the signal.
I have adapted the vi that you posted to do this and attached it below.
I hope this helps
Thanks

My ipod touch is stuck in connect to itunes screen. I've tried to press Power and Home button at the same time for 10 seconds and all it does is go to a black screen. Press power button again and the usb cable with an arrow towards an iTunes logo.

I have a brand new Ipod touch with front facing camera. Not sure which generation it is. My wife connected the iPod Touch and chose the restore option when connecting to iTunes. It was a mistake and by the time I got there, I saw the screen with USB cable with an arrow facing towards iTunes logo. I cannot get the iPod out of this state.

Try here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Also reset the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong?

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
- If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
- If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Is there another way i could turn my phone on? it wont turn on or show me the battery screen to show its charging. i already tried to hold the on and home button at the same time but it does not want to turn on. please help?

HT1600 I have Apple TV version 7.4.2 and we pressed on the remote the select button and the menu button at the same time to update our software. The box shows white light, we can get the screen to select netflix but nothing will move and the box will not

I have Apple TV version 7.4.2. We read in a blog that in order to reset our Apple TV we should press the menu button and the select big button at the same time which we did. Now when we attempt to turn on the apple tv box it with the remote we get a white light and sometimes we can get the menu screen but the remote will not let us move now will it allow us to turn the apple tv on or off. If we just leave it alone, the white light eventually goes away. I did unplug the apple tv and we removed the batteries and reinstalled them from the remote and that did not make any difference. Please advise.

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
