CFP-DI-304 reading bitmask instead of data

I have six machines running concurrently, and they each use two cFP-DI-304s to read proximity switches on valves. So, if the valve is open, it reads one number, if it's closed, it reads another, and if it's interim, it reads zero. The prox switches use two channels apiece, and I can read them in MAX individually, and in my program by reading the entire module and bitmasking the returned data to select the two channels I want. All the machines have worked fine up until this morning.
One of the valves is returning its bitmask instead of it's Open value. For example, say the Open value is normally 4 and the closed value is normally 8. The Open value is now returned as 805306368, or 0x30000000, it's bitmask. This only happens on one of the six machines, so I don't think I changed a setting accidentally.
Has this ever happened to anyone before? None of the wiring has been changed, and the data is verifiable in MAX.

Modbus and cFP-DI-304 data packet

I’m using a host computer to communicate with the cFP-DI-304 using Modbus over Ethernet.
When the cFP-DI-304 (revision D) is polled, it is returning incorrect data (looks like a timing issue). What is the sequence and data package when the cFP-DI-304 gets polled? Does the data sequence starts from pin 1 to pin 32, pin 32 to pin 1, or some other combination? Also is the package 8 or 16 bits?

Please post any VI's you have for doing this communication. Is the cFP-DI module on a backplane with a cFP controller or a communications module?
I'm not familiar with using ModBUS to communicate with individual cFP modules. The usual method is to use datasockets or shared variables.

How to read a tab seperated data from a text file using utl_file

Hi,
How to read a tab seperated data from a text file using utl_file...
I know if we use UTL_FILE.get_line we can read the whole line...but i need to read the tab separated value separately.....
Thanks in advance...

It is then up to you to split that string up (search for split string on this forum for methods) into it's individual components.
If the text file contains a standard structure on each line, i.e. it is a fixed delimited structure, then you could use external tables to read the data instead.

Options for read/write form field data with VBA/Reader

I have a project which requires reading and writing field data to a PDF form using VBA in PowerPoint. The code I have works properly with the full version of Acrobat, but the client this project is for will be using Reader. I'm looking for suggestions to what options I have to be able to access the form field data (I don't need any other features other than access to the field data). Ideally, I would love a solution which doesn't require the client to install anything extra for this to work, but I'm assuming that this isn't possible without an extra install.
Is there a library that exists in Reader (or could be licensed to be installed on the client's machine) that would allow the data to be read without needing the full version of Acrobat?
Does a plug-in exist for Reader, or could be written, that would allow this? Writing a plug-in would certainly be beyond my current capabilities, but I am interested in knowing every and any choices that are available.
Are there any other options to do what I need to do?
I had originally thought about exporting the form data and parsing it in the VBA program, but this would take a bit more work to write the parsing routine instead of accessing the fields directly. Plus, it appears to me that Exporting is not enabled in Reader.
Thanks for any insight you may be able to provide.

Thanks for the response; this was my original suggestion, but I don't think this is feasable for our client. I suggested to our account people that this might be the only way to do this (and the easiest, although possibly the costliest since it would have to be purchased for their entire sales force) and they initially said that this would not be an option, so I wanted to be able to cover all the bases, and explore any other ways that they could do what they want. Is this the absolute only option to do this?
Someone also suggested to me that licensing the Acrobat PDF Library SDK might be a way to do this, or that it could possibly be done with a plug-in for Reader (although from what I have found, Reader plug-ins would have to be approved by Adobe). These options, if possible, are beyond my current knowledge but I do want to be able to give them a complete list of possibilities.
Thanks again.

Photos recently changed from sequential numbering to date/timestamp. When I import into apps for editing they are out of order. What can be done to change back to sequential numbering instead of date/timestamp?

Photos recently changed from sequential numbering to date/timestamp. When I import into apps for editing they are out of order. What can be done to change back to sequential numbering instead of date/timestamp?

The date information is taken from the camera which writes it to the file. This needs to be set to the correct date and time in the camera itself.
The order the images are shown in the Library mode is set by clicking on the sort button in the tool bar, which if not showing can be activated from view, tool bar. There are different sort orders that can be applied including sorting by file name. You can also sort by dragging the images to the order you wish them to appear in by selecting user order.

When I launch Firefox, Adobe Update says Reader is out of date, but it is not.

I don't even use the Adobe Reader plugin, since, on a Mac, it doesn't work anyway. I use Firefox PDF Plugin, instead. But, when I launch Firefox, Adobe Update launches and tells me that Adobe Reader is out of date. When I launch Adobe Reader and check for updates, it says that it's up to date. I wouldn't care if it just happened once, but it continues to happen, at least once a day. It's very annoying. How do I get it to stop, since it's wrong, anyway?
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Firefox 3.6.13 (Adobe Reader plugin not installed)
Firefox PDF Plugin 1.1.3
Adobe Reader 10.0.1

There seems to be a SEVERE lack of information on this issue and evidently no one is doing anything about it.
The available info simply leads you in circles.

How do I read inches instead of pixels, in the develop module

How do I read inches instead of pixels, in the develop module. I am not discussing resolution. When I crop, I need to see the numbers in inches, not pixels.
I am not exporting to anything. From the develop module I go on to the print module. However I want to see inches, not pixels, in the develop module.
I am not cropping to an aspect ratio. I am cropping to a given size, in inches, just as if I was in PS CS 3.

Thanks in advance.
Nancy

>Instead of the image in pixels, why can't I read it in inches? Physical size in pixels is staring at me, why can't inches be there instead?
Because it is not there. The size in inches ONLY becomes real at print or at export time and can and will change depending on what you do there. Before that you are looking at a number of pixels in a computer.
>I need to set these values in the develop module, just as if I was setting them in PS CS 3.
That does not make any sense. There is no need to set this in develop at all. Lightroom will scale to your final size at export/Print/web/slideshow. Not in develop. There you are working with the RAW data at its native size.

Satellite Pro M40: DVD/CD multi recorder - unable to read or burn film data

Hi,
this recorder for satellite pro m-40, is strange; i am able to boot from dvd, read dvd data, burn cd but, unable to read or burn film data (original); i have already try it with few dvd film without success!
Any idea?
thanks!
ronald

To malossi:
You dont have the similar problem because the user above cannot read and burn ONLY the original DVD movies!
> i am able to boot from dvd, read dvd data, burn cd but, unable to read or burn film data (original);
In your case possibly the drive is dead or not compatible with the media (but I dont think so).
Check this Microsoft site for some general ideas:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321641/en-us
I have read also that someone was having this problem, and found that going into hardware profiles for the CD Rom that wasn't reading, clicking on the advanced tab, and selecting "PIO only" instead of "DMA if Available" worked in win XP sp2. Maybe you will try these.

How can I make sure files I transfer stay at read/write instead of read?

My employer recently got six brand new Mac Pros for our a/v guys. Well I wasn't able to get migrate to work (it wouldn't detect the slave drives, only the master) so I had to put files onto an external drive (a LACIE 1TB) and put them on the new Mac Pro OS 10.5.
We're finding out that files that we're moving, their permissions are being changed to read only instead of remaining at read/write or so it seems.
We've also got these machines on a closed network so we can share files between different areas of the office. Each computer has an administrator account and allows sharing and gives those it is sharing with, read/write permissions. But if I transfer a file from machine a to machine b, it comes out as read only one the file.
I'm thinking we jacked up the file sharing somewhere somehow. Curious if anyone might be able to take a crack at this. We're all new to leopard.

usually though; they are techs; and so geeky; that in windows they set themselves as admins with unlimited privaleges. So what they do is go to account setting and just delete your account; and when they delete; they will delete everything; and all your person files.
Most though; find that too troublesome; so they just reformat the drive with a backup they built; for that computer.
Most of the things you can do is deleting temporary internet files; and cookies; and any saved passwords on your account. Usually all found in options/tools in most web browsers. For windows; most files are on desktop; my music; my downloads; my documents; and etc.

Multiple reads of the same data from Multiprovider by Query (Bex)

Hello, guys!
We're having issue with performance of a query built on Multiprivider. During our investigation, we've found out that within one run of a Query, it several times refers to InfoProvider for the same data (see image attached).
Do you have ideas what can be a reason for multiply reads of the same data from Multipvovider?

Hello Nikita,
By "copy of a query" i meant something like this as shown below :
*Kindly click on the screenshot for a better view.
1) See the highlighted portions below in the screenshot . See Query 2 highlighted and name of the BEx query highlighted.
2) See the highlighted portions . See Query 3 highlighted and name of the BEx query highlighted.
As you can see from the above screenshots i have used the same BEx query 2 times by the name of Query 2 & Query 3 . Infact i have not attached the complete screenhsot . In that i have used it 6 times.
I have to analyze this a bit in detail but what i am guessing is that when this WEBi is called the single BEx is also called multiple times. And hence it hits the Info Provider multiple times resulting in a decreased performance.
But this does not mean that this is wrong approach. There are various areas where you can improve for example :
1) Either improve your BEx query if possible or use aggregates or something like that .
2) Use the Query stripping setting in WEBi so that unused dimensions and measures are not pulled resulting in an improved performance. It's switched on by default.
Thanks!!

Process Chain : Read PSA and Update Data Target in BI 7.0

Hello Experts,
In my Process Chain I have a variant Execute Infopackage to load the data only into PSA. then I have next variant as *Read PSA and Update Data Target*. my data target was a Master Data table Hierarchy
In the variant " Read PSA and Update Data Target". the selection Parameters were
PSA.Table : 0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA1
Selection Object Type : same Infopackage in Varaint Execute Infopackage
the Error message was Variant doesnot contain a valid combination request/data target
I checked the PSA-Table using RSA1OLD Transaction then I find four PSA Tables:
0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA1
0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA2
0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA3
0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA4
All the requests are linked to PSA Table *0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA4*.
I can't understand why there exists four PSA Tables?
I try to link the PSA-table 0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA4 in the variant *Read PSA and Update Data Target and try to save it it raises short dump.
If I select 0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA1 in the varaint I shouldn't face any problems.?
but the process chain raises an Error message Variant doesnot contain a valid combination request/data target with this variant.
How shall I handle this issue?
Please carify me the issues as soon as possible.
thanks in advance
Regards
sailekha

Hello,
In the Variant Read PSA and Update Data Target I have to select the PSA Tabelle Name from the preselection list in the System it shows me all the four PSA Tables that I mentioned.
I can select any one of them. So I trieed with all the four PSA Tables in the list but I can selct only the XXXX......BA1 table then only I can save and include it in the PC. If I select the remaining tables BA2, BA3, BA4.........while I try to save the Variant it raises short dump.
I checked the PSA using the Transaction RSA1OLD under PSA...... I find 4 PSA Tables( I don't know whether they are PSA Tables or not but in the Variant it states that they are PSA Tables) in which all the requests are attached to BA4. only.
I observed that ony for Hierarchies I find four PSA tables for remaining one only one PSA table was available.
I totally confused how to handle this situation. any suggestions......... please help me to resolve this problem.
Thanks & Regards

How to read context node/attribute data of diff UI component of same screen

Hi,
I am new to CRM and as well as BSP, Now the requirement is, at the time of Lead creation, when the end user enters customer code and sales area i need to fetch and display the customer group 1 value( VIP,KAM etc) based on the customer's sales area, ( these are sales area specific values).
but the problem is Customer code is in diff UI component and sales area data is in diff UI component .
1) customer code attribute is in UI component BT108H_LEA, View BT108H_LEA\Detail, Context node is BTPARTNERPROSPECT.
2) sales area fields are in the UI component BTORGSET, View BTORGSET\OrgSetData, Context node is BTORGSET.
3) I have created new field(customer type to display the customer group 1 value "VIP") in UI component BT108H_LEA, View BT108H_LEA\Detail, Context node is BTLEADH.
To display the value in the context node BTLEADH, i need to know the sales area data which is entered in BTORGSET.
Kindly let me know how to read the data which is in diff UI component of the same Lead creation screen.
i written following code in context node BTLEADH, atttribute New Zfield, in get method, but not able solve, please guide me.
DATA: LR_ENT TYPE REF TO CL_CRM_BOL_ENTITY,
             LR_COL TYPE REF TO IF_BOL_ENTITY_COL.
LR_ENT ?= ME->TYPED_CONTEXT->BuilHeader->COLLECTION_WRAPPER->GET_CURRENT( ).
LR_COL = LR_ENT->GET_RELATED_ENTITIES( IV_RELATION_NAME = 'BuilSalesArrangementRel' ).
LR_ENT ?= LR_COL->GET_FIRST( ).
IF LR_ENT IS BOUND.

ENDIF.
I'll appreciate if you can provide me some documents to refer.
awaiting for your responses.
Thanks

Hi Gangadhar,
I think i have not clearly explained my requirement, let me put it once again. My requirement is, I have to read two UI component data, validate and display some value in one new zfield which is in one of the UI components.
I need to display customer's sales area specific data like customer group 1 value in that new zfield. for that i need Customer code and as well as sales area data from the screen.
1) customer code attribute is in UI component BT108H_LEA, View BT108H_LEA\Detail, Context node is BTPARTNERPROSPECT.
2) sales area fields are in the UI component BTORGSET, View BTORGSET\OrgSetData, Context node is BTORGSET.
3) I have created new field(customer type to display the customer group 1 value "VIP") in UI component BT108H_LEA, View BT108H_LEA\Detail, Context node is BTLEADH.
As per my understanding, in the context node BTLEADH, GET_METHOD of atttribute New Zfield, i have to read customer code from UI component BT108H_LEA, View BT108H_LEA\Detail, Context node is BTPARTNERPROSPECT and Sales area data from UI component BTORGSET, View BTORGSET\OrgSetData, Context node is BTORGSET based on the values, validate and display the data.
But as per your recent reply you are asking me to write the code in get_property_attribute---division. so i didnt understand.
Kindly clarify if i am wrong.
awaiting for your response.
Thanks

Read only field in data manager

Hi,
if we set a field permission as read only in console.
in data manager this field will be read only.
in import manager during process of import will this field be receiving value or it will be read only
Sonali

Hello,
I tested (MDM 5.5 sp6) and if you import data, and for a read-only fied mapped, data can be created and updated ( import done with same role/user than the one with read/only rules)
I haven't see this behaviour on documentation, but don't look as a trouble for me.
If this role/user try to update from the data manager, it is not possible to update a read-only fied
Hope helps you

When trying to open pdf from Inbox, it opens Adobe Reader X instead of my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

It seems my Windows Vista pc did an update on Adobe. Now when I open a pdf i receive via email, it automatically opens a
program called Adobe Reader X instead of my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. How do I force my system to open Pro instead of X? I want to make edits and stuff to the pdfs, but X doesn't have the capabilities as Pro. I'm thinking X is a Reader version?
Using Vista, i cannot find the option in Files to force all PDFs to be opened with Pro.
Help!

This is from the Windows Vista help menu:
If you double-click a file in Windows and it opens in the wrong software program, follow these steps to choose the program you would prefer that file use. You can change this setting for an individual file, or you can tell Windows to open all files of that same type in the software program you choose.
Open the folder that contains the file you want to change.
Right-click the file that you want to change, and then, depending on the type of file, either click Open With or point to Open With and then click Choose Default Program.
Click the program that you want to use to open this file.
Do one of the following:
If you want all files of that type to open in the same software program, select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box, and then click OK.
If you want only that file to open in the software program this one time, clear the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box, and then click OK.
