Changing LabView parameters

I am currently working a project where I need to get some scales to communicate with LabView. I have contacted the maker of these scales (GK & GFK Scale) and he says that some other people have come to him with this question. He says the way to make the scale communicate with LabView is that I need to change the parameters of LabView to match the parameters of the scale. I was wondering how I would go about changing the parameters of LabView? He also mentioned that I would need to find the driver that will allow LabView to communicate with the scale properly. Oh and the scale will be connected to the computer I have LabView running on in the computer's serial port.
Sorry this was kinda lengthy.
Thanks

By "parameters of LabVIEW" I'm assuming you're talking about the serial port settings?
You will need to figure out what settings the scale will be using, then set them accordingly:
- Baud rate
- data bits
- stop bits
- parity
- flow control
- termination character

Change step parameters in teststand edit mode

Hello,
I would like to know if it's possible to change the parameters in a step in edit mode of teststand.
I have attached a sequence with one step, in this step I want to select DMMx.
After the selection I want to teststand to fill in the parameters in the step so I can the choose which type of measurement and such.
If this is not possible how could I make something like this possible.
As you may see this will be a HAL, and the only option I can see which would do this is bij a string array but I don't want to type in the commands in string.

Hi Darkxceed
My recommendation for doing a HAL i TestStand would be to use an object oriented approach.
Create a class hirachy of your instruments like the following inside of LabVIEW:
Then use Dynamic Dispatch to make TestStand choose the instrument of interest. There is an example of using Dynamic Dispatching in TestStand here:
TestStand Using LabVIEW OOP Truck Example
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-24098
This solution will offcourse require you to read up on creating applications using object oriented programming in LabVIEW. We at NI have a course that walks you through both the theory and practical implementation. It is called Object Oriented Programming in LabVIEW. If you have a SSP agreement, you should be able to find it as Self Paced Online Training as a part of your contract.
There is also a good introduction to OOP in LabVIEW and HAL here:

Change step parameters order

Is it possible to change the parameters order?
Or are they locked and only defined by the connector pane?

Passing TestStand Globals to LabView parameters

Hello All,
We store our operator entered test info in TestStand Globals, and then pass them to LabView parameters. Is there a way to default the Labview parameters to always have the TestStand Global name? So we won't have to select those same globals for each test. Thanks.

Hey Bill,
Thanks for clarifying. The first option really isn't an option. It's more of an explanation that the steps should always use the StationGlobals as parameters if when you Specify the Module you set the parameters as StationGlobals.WhateverVariable.
It's important to note the 4 actions of creating a step-
1- Choose the Adapter (LabVIEW, CVI, C++ etc...)
2- Choose the StepType (PassFail, Action, Numeric Test, String Test etc...)
3- Specify the Module (point the step to the code you want to call)
4- Set the step properties (preconditions, post action, expressions, run options etc...)
In your case you would choose the LabVIEW adapter, Choose the StepType, Specify the Module to point to some LabVIEW code (I'm assuming these are prewritten), and then set some step properties. Now the issue here is that you want TestStand to automatically assume that you want to pass StationGlobals as parameters to your step. This is done in step 3 of the process. However, TestStand cannot assume what to put as the parameters to a LabVIEW module because most LabVIEW modules have different inputs and outputs. Do all your LabVIEW modules have the same inputs and outputs?
Option1- If you have TestStand 4.0 or later then you can use Templates. I really like this new feature of TestStand. It's very handy because all you do is follow the process to creating a step and then drag that step to your templates window. Then whenever you want to place a step with the same or very similar setup just drag it from your templates onto your sequence. This way you don't have to go through the entire process every time. And the parameters will remain the same.
Option 2- So for the 4 Test StepTypes (Pass/Fail, Numeric Limit, Multiple Numeric Limit and String Value) and the Action step there are something called Code Templates. A code template is simply a skeleton piece of code that gets created when you click the create VI button in your specify module tab. This is not new in TS 4.0 but an older feature as well. These templates are stored here: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 4.0\CodeTemplates\NI and are managed by the StepType properties. I recommend copying them to your C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 4.0\CodeTemplates\User folder before editing them. As this is the proper way to do it and you don't lose your default templates. TS will always look in the User folder first. If it's not there then it will go to the NI folder. The names of the folder are pretty intuitive. Basically you have DefaultLabVIEW. Which is for the Action Step Type. Or you have NumericLimitLabVIEW which is for the Numeric Limit Step Type. Whichever type you want to change the template for then you open that folder and edit the LabVIEW skeleton code to resemble what you want with the correct inputs and outputs. Then you save it and go into TS and go to your type palette. No the problem I have here is that you cannot change the parameters for the default NI step types. So you will have to copy the StepTypes and create your own. Trust me though- you don't want to dink around with the NI defaults. It's messier later. So when you create your own step type you can then edit the properties by Right Click-> Edit Properties. There should be a Code Template tab. you can set up everything including the parameters for that code template. So then the next time you insert a step and click the create VI button from the Specify Module tab it will automatically contain your own parameters. In your case StationGlobals.
Ok so it's obvious that Option 2 is not ideal. But if you have TS 3.5 or older then it's the only way other than copying and pasting steps. If you want more info on Code Templates go to the TS help and read about them. Or let me know if you have specific questions.
Hopefully this info will help you out and please let me know if you are confused or need more info.

Have you noticed any difference between your MacBook and others at the Apple store? Wondering whether this is a configurable setting at the system level, i.e., DPI.
You can default Firefox to a larger zoom level to avoid having to zoom every page. You'll still be able to adjust the size for individual sites as needed. It sounds as though you are aware of these add-ons:
* Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
* NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
There are some discussions about changing coming in Firefox 22 (I think) to address higher density displays like the Retina display. So perhaps there will be a built-in setting to address this in the future.

How to change NLS parameters in Oracle XE?

Hi
I have to change some parameters in database using Oracle XE server but I don't know how to do it. I must change these parameters:
NLS_CHARACTERSET
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
How to do it?
Thanks for help.

Thanks, but I'm newbie and I have to ask you about more details :)
What do you mean when you saying: init file (or spfile)? Where can I find these files?
Registry entry (NLS_LANG) is correct, but when I'm using web based administration application I can see more NLS settings. Unfortunately I can't change them :(
Using XE version I can't (I'm not sure about that) create another instance, there is only one instance created by installer. Is it possible to change NLS settings in this case?

How to change NLS parameters in SQL Developer?

How to Change Database parameters as suggested by EWA report

Dear Experts,
As per EWA report , i have been asked to change several DB parameters as per note 0124361 . Should i go aghead and change the parameters ? What is the procedure of chaging those parameters? what is the real process that should be followed ? Please revert.Points guaranteed.

Run "brspace -f dbparam"
Select option 1 "Change parameter value" and change the parameters. After changing select option 3 to create a new init.ora.
If you change parameters that have the scope "spfile" oracle requires a restart. If you only change parameters with scope "both" you don't need a restart of oracle. This changes are affected on the fly.
To restart oracle:
connect / as sysdba
SQL> shutdown
SQL> startup
You don't need to stop SAP if you only change oracle parameters. SAP reconnects automatically if the database is up.

Change J2ee parameters on WAS 640-J2EE add in -config tool

I have started the config tool to change java paramters per SAP.
However I notice that config tool shows dispatcher and server and below that an instance (xxx-318782 for example) which has a dispatcher and server also.....
Why is this and which do I modify to change java parameters?
Alos where can I find the setting, it is somewhere under services directory?
Thanks
John R

Hi,
the dispatcher and server nodes that appear right below the root of the tree in the Config tool contain global properties (services and managers' properties). This means those properties are used globally instead of the default properties. For more info, refer to this page: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/36/e71bbee9ab4677a744d4c4484b0bf4/frameset.htm
Next, the dispatcher and server you find under the instance xxx, are actually the elements that you've installed for your system. Changing a property on any of them applies locally, i.e. to the corresponding node (server or dispatcher).
To set java parameters, you need to click on the dispatcher or server (depending on which element's java props you need to modify). On the right side, under General tab you'll see the Java parameters field. Here is the relevant documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/39/7796e0a7be604ab63c2924045710a8/frameset.htm
Hope that helps!

Change request parameters

Hi,
I have a servlet and would like to change the request parameters before forwarding that request to another servlet.
But how can I change the parameters? I thought it would work with request.setAttributes, but the parameters are not being changed. How can I change the parameters then???

Hi Joberc
1. Did you read javax.servlet.Filter API of Servlet 2.3.
It allows us to do some filtering in between and forward to another servlet
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/Filter.html
You can also search for code sample and see how it works.
2. As for your specific question and if possible, can we view your code to see

Changing Login Parameters

Hi All,
We are planning to implement the Password Policy for SAP users in our organization...
we want to change next parameters
Login/no_automatic_user_sapstar
Login/fails_to_session_end
Login/password_expiration_time
Login/min_password digit
Login/min_password_letters
Login/min_password_special
Login/min_password_diff
so I have some questions,
first of all this change will be applied in our productive system SAP CRM ABAP 7.0 with MSSQL
what will be the impact when this change will be applied?, I mean the policies is inmediatly or for example it will be reflect until one user ask to be reset or until the expiration time defined will be get,
what will happen with comunication users?, I have seen some documentation when mentiion that just communication users of certain type will be affected, I can't understand it,, someone has experience doing that?
so I'm worried about communication users because we have some importants users that communicate BPM(JAVA SAP) or ESB (JAVA IBM),
thank you..
Alfred

Alfredo,
To expand a bit on the answer to your first question, about when it will take effect, the answer is it depends. It's true that the parameters don't take effect for the system until a restart, but as for when, after that, they impact the users depends on several factors. Users will not be required to change their password until the expiration time has passed, but chances are that many of your users, if they've had accounts longer than the expiration time, will already be past that expiration time. In that case, they will be asked to change their password with their next logons following the restart. The exceptions will be people who have recently changed their password already or who have new user accounts.
As for the other parameters mandating password complexity, by default they will be applied the next time the user changes their password (which, for many, will be right away, as just described), but if the current password is not yet expired, it will be allowed to stand even if it doesn't meet the complexity rules until it does expire. You can change this, however, with another parameter: login/password_compliance_current_policy. By default this parameter is inactive, but if you set it to 1, then users with passwords that don't meet the current complexity requirement will be forced to change right away, even if they are not expired.
With regard to your second question, about the impact of the new policy on your Communication users, here is the basic layout of impacts:
User Type
GUI Logon
Password Rules
Dialog
Yes
Yes
System
No
No
Communications
No
Yes*
Service
Yes
No
So yes, Communications users are subject to the password rules, but as Sunny was saying, generally the rules only impact interactive logons, and Communications users don't logon interactively (GUI Logon). Still, if you want to be sure, you can change their type to System, and they still will not be able to logon interactively, and they will not be subject to password expiration. Either way, they also will not be counted during license measurement.
Best regards,
Matt

Changing gateway parameters in OS level

Hello experts,
Please let me know how to change the SAP gateway parameters in OS level, Where it is possible to do in SMGW transaction code in SAP level.
As my Operating System will be UNIX.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The gateway is installed within an instance by the dispatcher and reads its parameters from the profile file located in the profile directory in the SAP directory tree.
This means that the parameter can be changed in production operation (in transaction RZ10 or in the gateway monitor (SMGW) by choosing Goto ® Parameter ® Change. See Changing Gateway Parameters).
Hope this helps.
