Can I desynchronize one station with batch process model?

Hi,
My project has 5 stations run test in parallel. I decide to use batch process model since I want them to start and stop together. Beside start and stop, I have some certain part in the test sequence need to sync together. But in 5 stations, I want one station work without sync at these steps. I tried using batch synchronize with precondition but it looks like other stations still wait for the one I skip the sync. My another option is using rendervous with number of parallel thread is total - 1. I test and this works. But I still want to know if I can use batch synchronize step or not because this offer the start sync and exit sync feature.
Thank you!

Doug,
Thanks for your answer.
I want to have something happens parallel with other threads but without affect by batch sync steps. I have multiple stations working parallel in assembly line. They are sync because of pick and place. But I want to have one process works as station manager who keep track of UUT between station and other environment condition like pressure, temperature.

Generally, the intent of the TestSockets in the process models is that they will have a 1 to 1 correspondence to UUTs, does your 5th socket correspond to a UUT? In otherwords are there 5 UUTs under test at one time? UUTs often need things like report generation or database logging. Does your 5th socket require report generation? If not perhaps this 5th socket is really more of a utility thread and thus creating a new thread or execution at runtime makes sense for it. If your 5th socket instead does really correspond to a UUT that is being tested in parallel enitrely separately from the other UUTs then perhaps you should start up a new execution for that socket using the sequential model and just have that running at the same time as your other sockets are running with the batch model.
So it really depends on what you are using that 5th station/thread for as to what approach would likely work best.
Hope this helps,

Help with batch processing

Hi, I am having trouble with batch processing. I want to apply adaptive noise reduction (ANR) to several files from the same source tapes. So, following the help instructions, I create a script from one file. When I try to apply it to the other files, instead of applying ANR to them, it simply saves them as is. The steps I perform are as follows:
I select the entire wave (I have also tried it without first selecting)
I open the scripts box in the file menu
I click on open/new script collection and create a new script
I title the new script
I click 'record'
I close the scripts box
I run ANR on the file
I go back to the scripts box and click 'stop current script'
I click add to collection
I close the scripts box
I open the batch processing box
I select the files, then the script, then I click to start processing
When I try to apply this to script to other files, it saves them but doesn't apply ANR.
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong? Also, in the scripts box, there are three options for the type of script that I can create. One is highlighted: 'Scripts start from scratch.' Is that the correct one to use? If not, how do I select one of the others? I click on them but nothing happens. Finally, when creating a script, do I save the file before or after clicking 'stop record'? I have tried it both ways but don't know which is correct (neither seems to make a difference).
Just to be as thorough as possible, below is the text of one of my scripts, in case that contains any clues. Thanks so much for any and all help!!

This is what my script looks like. Although I was worried about the strange characters in the script, it does work.
Make sure that the script you use is suitable for the sample rate and bit depth of the file. E.g. if you have 44100/32-bit files, then don't use a script that was recorded on a file with e.g. 48000/16-bit. If required, resample or make different scripts for different rates/depths.

Station global variable per UUT using a batch process model

Hi,
I have 4 UUTs which are tested using individual COM ports. I am using 4 Station Global variables to store the 4 Com ports - COM port assignments are in no particular order and vary depending on test station PC.
Example:
S1= Com12
S2= Com14
S3= Com10
S4= Com9
Using a batch process model I want to test all UUTs in parallel - I am trying to figure out what is the best/easiest way to pass S1 for UUT1, S2 for UUT2 and so on!
Any help appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Shane.

The easiest way is to use the Runstate.TestSockets.MyIndex property to index an array. Each batch socket will get an index (0 to n-1, where n is the number of sockets) when it is created. Then you can create an array (of strings? I can't tell if you just have strings or need a container) and use the property to index the array.

Station Info using Batch Process Model

Hi,
I have a test sequence that use a sequential process model and I grab station information using the following.
RunState.Root.Locals.StationInfo.StationID
RunState.Root.Locals.StationInfo.LoginName
I am creating a new test sequence which uses the batch process model - when I try to grab the Station Info data using the syntax above I get the following error
Unknown variable or property name 'RunState.Root.Locals.StationInfo'.
Can some please advise if I am accessing the wrong area when using a batch process model?
Thanks & Regards,
Shane.

In the batch and parallel models you can access this information using:

How can I combine one font with many styles to show up as one font

How can I combine one font with many styles to show up as one font? I have quite a few fonts, that instead of showing up as a single font with different font styles (bold, bolditalic, semibold, light....) each style shows up in the fonts dropdown menu as a separate font. Any way I can fix this?
Another font question, is there any way to group my fonts in the dropdown menu according to different categories such as 'favorite san serif fonts', or 'script fonts'?

So your saying if it wasn't set up that way be the font creator there is nothing I can do. That's a shame.
Most of the fonts that do this were free fonts, such as Walkway.
But I do have some fonts (hebrew fonts) that I purchased that do the same thing.

DVDSP preset question with batch processing.

I hope someone can help.
When I drag my files that I want to batch process, where I can
choose the output, for example DVD HD, etc.
These presets have different times with them for video, like 120, 190, or even 30.
My question is, what is the difference between them? Does any of them produce better quality of the video?
My video files are .avi files and run about 30 minutes.
Also, does it matter which I choose as far as HD DVD, DVD best quality, etc., if these are already .avi files or just choose DVD HD and have the best quality possible?
Thank you for any help that is given.

About the numbers, the 30, 120, 190, etc. What do
those numbers mean?
Are they minutes? And if they are minutes, does that
mean it goes by how a regular dvd has minutes on it
or does it go by how long each file is, or total size
of project?
What those numbers mean are the amount of material that will fit on a DVD-5 based on the encoding settings, so in other words if you choose 120 it means that about 2 Hrs of running time of video will fit on the DVD encoded at that rate. Normal and high quality are whether it is a one pass or two pass
I am still a little confused.
I have 10 .avi files. Each one is about 30 minutes
long and is about 300mb.
I am unsure on what video setting or settings to use
that will allow me to have at least the same quality
as the files already are.
Encoding will reduce the quality, sometimes you may notice, other times not, but you have about 6 hours worth of material there. Depedning on what it is you can make a DVD-9, but unless it is very low motion probably not a DVD-5 (Also 300 Megs for 30 minutes of material (and I have not looked at new avi codecs recently) sounds like the material is already compressed heavily
To give you a rough idea, DV which is what comes from many consumer cameras with firewire, is compressed at a rate of about 5:1 already, and 9 minutes 20 seconds is just shy of 2 Gigs, so 30 minutes would be in the area of 6 Gigs of DV (or about 18 times the size of your files)
i have already done the audio portion of each file so
the video portions are all I need to do now.
Best thing to do is play with the settings, test small sections where there is less motion and more motion. In general 2-Pass is going to provide you with better results than one pass

Distill a folder of PS Files with Batch Process

I thought the reason was explained in a FAQ somewhere, but I can only seem
to find it as a forum response:
"To solve what was believed to be a security hole, by default, Distiller 8.1
no longer permits any file operations to be performed in PostScript. The
PostScript run operator is one such operation. The workaround is to invoke
the distiller with the -F flag. - Dov "

Need help with batch processing picture packages

Hi, I am having trouble batch processing picture packages is CS2. (Windows).
I have hundreds of images that need to be processed into picture packages and would love to find a speedier way to do this.
I know how to create an action. I know how to batch process from this action. I also know how to create picture packages, but I cannot get the final result I am after - please read on....
I have seperated all the images into their seperate folders for each style of picture package required.
I can create an action for the picture package required and then do a batch process on the particular folder, but this leaves all the picture packages open on the desktop - as when you chose the close and save in the batch process - this only closes and saves the original image - the picture package has been created as a new document and is on the desktop still open - named Picture Package 1, Picture Package 2 - etc etc.
I hope I am making some kind of sense here... (??!!)
What I would like to happen is that the picture package will be saved over the original file (or to a new folder) with the original file name of the original image or maybe even with an adjustment to file name (e.g - orignal file name sc1234.jpeg - new file name sc1234packA.jpeg)
So is this possible to do?? I'm thinking there must be a way.... i'm sure there are many group photographers out there who come across this everyday??
Otherwise I have to save each picture package manually to original file name (via searching though files to match the original image to the picture package....) Very time consuming.
Thanks for your help (in anticipation)...
Jodie

hmm - thanks for that - sounds like I will have to try and find some info and assistance regarding the scripting - it may be something I need to look into at a later time in the future....
At the moment though I will have to plod along with this method I guess!
Thanks for your assistance...

Can i fill one provider with more than one application?

Hi,
I have so many application. Currently, we adding one provider with one portlet. So, we just want to know is it possible to add one portlet fill with many application?
The idea is we want to reduce provider in portal.
Thank you.

No, you can only sync with one. If you sync with another it will erase the device in order to mirror the other iTunes library.

I can see only one Printer with Apple Talk, but there are five ???

I have a problem on only one mac, with the Apple Talk. We have over 100 Macintosh and all the other machines see the five printers. But this one can only see "one" printer???
What is this? We change the switch port but nothing.
Can i delete any chaches oder preferences to clear the printers???
The problem Mac have 10.3.9

Have you added the other printers to the problem mac?
If you have then my guess is that it is a network issue. How are the printers and macs networked?

Running a sequence with 2 process models

Hi,
We intend to use 2 different process models, running the same MainSequence. The reason for the difference in process models is there is large difference in hardware on the stations. So we need to account for that difference in our mainsequence as well, where we do certain actions when using one process model, and a different action on another.
My question is, what is the preferred property to look at in memory (runstate tree somewhere?) for the MainSequence to have knowledge of what process model it is currently running, so we can add cases in our MainSequence to differentiate actions.
Thanks
