Can I read the dd file without the device

Hello,
Is it possible to read the DD file in Configurator 3.1 without connecting to the device?
The short version of the story...... I have only used the configurator a few times and was walked through the process. Now I need to figure out how to control a positioner (DVC6000f), I just need to stroke a valve open, closed and position it somewhere between the two. I am not able to connect to a positioner right now, so I would like to load the DD file into the configurator and look around to see if I can figure out how to give it a position command signal. Once I am able to stroke the valve I will need to write a simple LabView program to make it easier than the configurator program.
What is the best way to figure out which block I need to position the valve? I am hoping when I actually connect to the positioner it will be obvious, but life is usually not that easy.
Bryan

Hello Josiane,
Thank you for the information, I was able to load the DD and look around the configuration blocks. Initially engineering only asked about simple control of the valve, today things have changed. I found out that there are to be many tests performed on the valve including sine wave response, step testing, Hysterisis, linearity, dead band, and some others.
So my question now is how well can I control the positioner by writing a Vi in LabView? I can perform the above tests on a positioner with a 4-20mA output signal from my DAQ. Would it be possible to write the 4-20mA output signal into an input block (instead of an analog output channel) and control the valve in real time? I could just change the mA signal into whatever units the positioner wants. Or what would be the best approach to control the valve for testing?
Is there a number I can reach for support? It might be easier than email.

Can generate the TKPROF file without the SQL is not running completed ?

Dear all:
I want to generate the TKPROF file from the trace file, Can generate the TKPROF file without the SQL is not running completed ? Is it the TKPROF file can be used? because the report is too large. My environment is ORACLE 11.5.9
Regards
Terry

When you can wait for completion, then that's the easiest route.
When you can't wait, you'll have to use a different method. I suggest to watch the v$ views for what your session is doing. Views like v$session, v$session_wait, v$sess_io and the views starting with v$sql. Also worth mentioning is Tanel Poder's site, which contains some very useful scripts for diagnosing performance problems this way: http://tech.e2sn.com/.

How can I read a text file inside the .xsjs?

I need to read line by line of a text file just like FileReader and BufferedReader in Java. It contains a script SQL to insert data in my DB. Can I use some API?

There is no API that allows you to access the file system of the server in XSJS. You would need to upload the file from the client side and it will appear as a array buffer in the request object. From there you can convert the array buffer to a string and process however you like.
For example:
var content = "";
    content = $.request.body.asArrayBuffer();
    var array = new Uint8Array(content);
    var encodedString = String.fromCharCode.apply(null,array),
         decodedString = decodeURIComponent(escape(encodedString));
        content = decodedString;
    var lines = content.split(/\r\n|\n/);

Can I read a .msg file on the Mac?

I received a file with a .msg ending, which I gather is Microsoft Outlook. When I clicked on it, my Parallels opened, but I am having no luck opening the file in Parallels, and everything freezes up and is very slow when I try to open Microsoft Outlook. My question is, is there a way I can download something so that I can read a .msg file in my Mac? I have more than one of these files, and it's important that I read them. Thanks for any help.

Here is some stuff I found via Google:

There is more - so try a google search if these don't work out for you.

How can I play an audio file without the whole screen going black?

When I play the mp3 file on IE it opens in a small screen so I can still see the web page.
On Firefox the whole screen is taken up with the sound file being played.
Can this be changed?

Is that file played in a tab in the current window or in a separate pop-up window?
Are you allowing pop-up to modify the window size (dom.disable_window_move_resize = false)?

You can try set the Boolean pref media.windows-media-foundation.enabled to false on the about:config page to disable the built-in HTML5 media player.

Can't Read from Source File

Hi Guys
I'm using PPr CS5 on Win7 64bit.
I'm not sure if this is strictly for here but can I pick your brains please? I edited in PPr and exported three versions of the same video to AVI (mainly different intros and titles) and they all play fine. I back up my movies to an external disk but one of them always creates an error in the back-up "Can't Read from Source File". The file sizes are 5.3gb for the offending movie and 8.3 for the other two.
I know the answer is to re-export the movie but I'm just trying to get a bit of a handle what could have caused this problem in the first place and if this is a common problem?
Any views?
Regards,
Graham

That doesn't help much. What exactly are you doing when you get the error message?
Are you trying to open a PP project which contains the file?
Are you trying to play a sequence which has clips from that file?
Are you trying to play it in a media player?
Are you trying to import the file into PP?

Is there a way I can use my external hard drive without the files being transferred on to my computer? as like like my iTunes music being on my hard drive without them being copied onto my computers hard drive ?

Many users keep their iTunes libraries on external drives. You just have to remember to connect and power up the drive before launching iTunes.

How can a make avi files without the length changing?

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I'm posting it first here, as the process also involves FinalCut. If there's a better place to get an answer, maybe someone could streer me in that direction.
I'm doing some subtling which will then be coded onto professional tapes using FCP. I don't have the equipment (digibeta machines) to do that process at my end, so I'm sending the files to a studio and they're going to do the rest for me.
I have software that'll let me lay down subtitles and then export files with time code, but the software previews with avi files. After messages from the studio telling me that the subtitles were falling out of sync, I finally realized that the avi files I had made from the 30 minute DVD screeners were 4 seconds shorter in length than the material on the screener. I made more and more avi files to double check, each one came out 4 seconds shorter than it should have been. So that's my problem.
Does anyone know of a way to convert DVD (or VOB) files to avi without losing any time? Alternatively, does anyone know of a program for subtitling that works straight from DVDs? (I looked into Belle Nuit Subtitler, but it's impossible to tell how it works without paying for it and waiting three or four days for the order to manually process.)
Thanks for any help and sorry my question is so convoluted.

The best solution to my particular problem seemed to be putting the avi file on the timeline in FCP, selecting it, the choosing "Duration" from the "Modify" menu and resizing it to the length it should have been.
I'm actually getting a friend to adjust most of the files in Premiere with his PC as I'm still on a G4 PowerBook and the rendering time for the avi files before I can manipulate them was half a day each. (Premiere has a similar feature.)
Thanks again to Andy for the MPEG Streamclip tip...it looks like it'll be useful in the future, and it's free! Cinematize also looked like it could have helped, but the demo mode only let me test 10 second exports at a time and that wasn't really enough for me to tell if the length changed or not. Didn't buy it this time around.
I also get the point that there must be a lot of people who use the term "urgent" to mean "hurry up and help me, I don't have time to read" with prolific good Samaratians no doubt tired of being bossed around in that way.
Fair enough.
Anyway, the "Duration" option within FCP is one way to fix DVD burns and other format conversions that come out with different time spreads from the original. Rendering can take time on slower Macs though.

I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.

I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, Jack

I do not know if your file can be recovered. But I may be able help you to recreate it with ease. If you will settle for a composite where all image are re-sized for a particular tile size and virtually cropped to its aspect ratio. However all source image need be gathered into a folder to use my script process. Paste Image Roll Script and Picture Package Support Link http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PasteImageRoll.jsx

Where can I find an example of a vi which reads a xml file using the Labview schema (LVXMLSchema.xsd)?

Where can I find an example of a vi which reads a xml file using the Labview schema (LVXMLSchema.xsd)?
�Unflatten From XML� is of little use in parsing because it requires the data type. So it seems that the user has to parse each data value, and then �Unflatten From XML� can help a little.
I would like to see NI provide a VI for parsing it�s own schema.

LabVIEW's XML functions are another way of saving data from controls and indicators that is in a more standardized format. If you look at the Unflatten From XML shipping example, it shows taking the data that you would normally send to a Digital Wveform Graph and converting it to XML instead. This data is then unflattend from XML and wired to the graph. Since you know what you wrote to the file, this is an easy thing to do. If what you are looking for is a way to look at any data in any LabVIEW XML file, then you are right, there is not a VI for that. However, I do not believe that that was the intention of the XML functions in the first place.
By wiriting data in XML, this allows other applications outside of LabVIEW to parse and recognize the dat
a. In LabVIEW, you would already know the types and can place a generic item of that type. The issue of knowing the type is that you need to know the type of the wire that comes out of the Unflatten function so that the VI will compile correctly. You could always choose a variant value to unflatten and then do some parsing to take the variant a part. Maybe this will help you out.
See this example for using the Microsoft parser for XML. (http://venus.ni.com/stage/we/niepd_web_display.DISPLAY_EPD4?p_guid=B123AE0CB9FE111EE034080020E74861&p_node=DZ52050&p_submitted=N&p_rank=&p_answer=)

I have a friend who I was helping out with his iPhone. He has since lost it. I believe I backed it up to my machine but have no idea where to find it. Is it possible to find it and read the back-up file without the original device being connected?

If he gets another device - you should be able to restore it from your computer to the point where you backed it up
Otherwise that file cannot be read

Can you execute a class file without invoking the command line java command

I am running java on a Windows XP equipped machine, and I am wondering if it is possible to execute a class file by double clicking the file icon, or can it only be done via command line. So far I have been unsuccessful in my attempts - I tried associating the class file with the java executable in my JRE directory, but that didn't work.
Many thanks,
-Stile

nope, can't be done, by design... microsoft recognised java as threat to the empire very early on in the peace.... but you can write a batch file to execute myprogram.class called myprogram.bat and stick it in your PATH.

Can I change original source files in the project?

I have a project which has become very disorganized over the last year of editing due to PPs poor ability to effectively share sequences/projects across multiple computers. My assistant editor used a different computer and so the links in the sequences point to multiple "source" files in the project (some in imported folders). However, there is ultimately only one original video clip. The problem is that Premiere Pro won't allow me to delete the nested versions of the source files without also REMOVING the clips in each of the sequences that uses them. For example, the project folder looks like this:
- Original File Folder
-- videoClip-001.mov
- Imported File Folder (imported on one of the many exchanges between editor and assistant editor)
-- videoClip-001.mov
- Sequence version 1 (Uses the second video clip, not the first - although they are ultimately the same video file)
If I delete the Imported File Folder, which only has a mirrored reference to the same video file as in the Original File Folder, then the clip in Sequence Version 1 dissapears. What I expect, rather, is to see a "missing media" message in the sequence so I can reconnect it to the version in the Original File Folder. But I can't. BIG HOLE in Premiere Pro CC.
Why do I want to do this? In a large project with hundreds of video clips, keeping order is very important. With the sequences using multiple "versions" of the same video clip, that order goes down the tubes and it becomes impossible to work.
Thanks for your help.

I don't know of any way to clean up this project, but in the future, don't import the project, just import the sequence. That will not create duplicates.
