Check Focus Of An Image With Standard LABVIEW Functions

Hi,
I would like to determine the best focus quality of a series of color images using standard LABVIEW functions, an example my images would be a 1mm x 2mm ROI of a copper coin or similar sample. I do not have the IMAQ vision toolkit so that will not be an option. Could somebody give me an example of this or point me in the direction I need to go. Is it better to check focus quality on the color image or a black and white image, or perhaps an intensity representation of the image? I have heard that checking the Standard Deviation of a line of pixels within the image would give a good indication of the focus quality by looking for the highest SD value of all the images?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Jimmy01,
I found this example which shows a couple ways to determine the best focus for your system: http://www.ni.com/example/28506/en/
I also found this example, although it uses the IMAQdx drivers. So you'll have to modify it a bit to work with the IMAQ drivers, but it's doable: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-11090
It looks like these examples detect the best focus by measuring the sharpness of the edges. A stronger edge means the camera is more in focus. This is also what I was thinking before I found these. I haven't been able to find anything about using the standard deviation of line pixels, as you mentioned.

How to open labview program with Quit Labview function inside?

Hi Any idea how to open labview program with Quit Labview function inside?
I forgot to add and set the condition of the type for this program.
If the program is an application, it would close straight away.
If it is still labview work, it will go straight to editing program without closing.
So I need to recover, open it and make some changes.

Put the VI in a project and open it from there, then it shouldn't autorun. You can use App.kind property of application to decide whether to close or not.

With Standard Labview 6.1, is there a way to set (x,y) cursor-mouse position?

I am working on a project in standard Labview 6.1 that receives images from a webcam. This image array will then be analyzed to determine the position of a black dot on a white background. This dot will then correspond to an (x,y) coordinate point. We will then feed these coordinates into a program that will set the cursor mouse position to this point. However, we are uncertain on how to interface Labview with the computer mouse controls and are in need of assistance.

If you are simply wanting to set the coordinates of an existing cursor on a LabVIEW graph, then you can do that using Property Nodes. I have attached an example of this which you could take a look at.

Problem with standard distribution function

Hi,
The task is following:
There are three cubes - one with data to be distributed (non-transactional), one with reference data (non-transactional) and one where the distributed data should be written (transactional).
I am trying to use standard IP planning function Distribute with Reference Data to achieve the result. However when I put 0INFOPROV as a characteristic to be changed, I can select value for it only in block FROM and TO, and not in REFERENCE DATA SELECTION.
So to tell the system, taht reference data are located in third cube I have added new car which for the is always filled with constant in the reference cube (for every record).
But it seems that it does not help: When trying to execute, following error message appears: Cannot find reference data for sub-process 1 of the function
Anywone has ever customied standard function in a way that it is able to use data from three cubes? What do I do wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Marcin
ps. I work with IP, but assume that BPS is very similar regarding stadard planning functions, so any suggestion is welcome.

of course you can include 0infoprov into fields to be changed, but in your szenario it wouldn' make any sense.
if fox formulas you set values for 0infoprov by yourself, in distr. function you are telling the system: distribute origin field value for char xy according all posted values in certain reference records.
as 0infoprov is a technical infoobject and given the fact that your reference records are stored in cube 3 which is non transactional as well) -> to tell the function, that your reference records are stored in cube 3 you have to set 0infoprov as reference char.
if you can not copy all data before distribution (to be honest i don't see any reason why this shouldn't be possible) you could only ditribute the values using function of type fox or exit.

Read data from MCU with bluetooth with using labview function ?

Hi.
I send data from MCU to labview. I do this work with usb to serial pl2303TA and it work well.
recently I decide to use bluetooth for communicate between MCU and LV. MCU use a bluetooth module like HC-05 or BC-04.
with using VISA read functions we just use a VISA configured serial and read functions.
in bluetooth we must use which functions for receive data ? and where we can use them ?
I use bluetooth discover function and it show my phone or module ID. what are other steps for reading data ?
Thanks.

As Dennis_Knuttson pointed out, if you associate a COM port to your bluetooth adapter on your LV PC, you can just use very simple VISA functions.
Maybe this example can help you how to do this (this one is an Android<-PC serial comm via bluetooth):

Better SOP for images with image captions?

Hi,
FM 8.04, Win XP.
When I work with images that shall have image captions, I use a pre-defined one row, one column table format that has a a table caption set to below. I then import the image into the one cell.
However, in some cases I would like images be anchored at bottom of columns, rather than at top of columns (or floating). The thing is that since the anchored frame sits inside a table cell, it is the table's placement that I must change. And tables do not have the "At bottom of column" option.
Any suggestion for a better standard of procedure for "At bottom of column" images, with retained caption functionality?
TIA,
/Mats

Mats,
You could always just use only anchored frames and add an additional
text frame to the anchored frame in the proper location relative to
the inserted graphic. Since the anchored frame is part of the flow,
the included text frames in these behave correctly with respect to
autonumbering and being picked up in the proper in generated lists.
If you create the styled anchored on a Reference page (in a text frame
of course) then you can quickly get at the proper "template" of what
you need using copy & paste.

Exit a comparison with focus on image with green border?

If I am comparing images and decide I want to exit the comparison, I command-click the image with the green border, but the focus then goes to whichever photo has the thick white border. Is there anyway to exit the comparison and still have the focus on the one with the green border?

I don't know if this was always the case, but after the upgrade to Aperture 2.1.1, I am now able to exit with focus on the base (green border) image by pressing option-return.

Acquire images with labview via firewire and TWAIN

Hi,
I have a camera from optronics. This camera is plugged to my computer
via a FireWire IEEE-1394 connection. The company optronics offers a
TWAIN driver for this camera: some files like TWAIN.dll and
TWAIN_32.dll. I would like to acquire images with labview and
communicate with the camera but I have no idea on how I should get
started.
The 3 main things I'd like to do are: 1) change the exposure time 2) snap images 3) see the images in labview.
I will really appreciate if someone could give me some ideas to get started...

Michael, From a
more general standpoint, what you'll need to do is use a Call
Library Function Node (located in the All Functions>>Advanced
palette) to call the necessary functions out of those DLLs. Before you
can do this, you'll need to know some specifics about what functions
are available in those DLLs and what parameters/outputs are associated
with them. This information is typically available in the product
manual or perhaps someone else with experience with your specific
device can speak to that. Once you know the functions necessary to
execute the desired operations, you simply configure a Call Library
Function Node for each of them and place them in your LabVIEW code.
Just
saw this and want to clarify on this. This is a total no-go! The Twain
interface is a very old technology from the days when Windows was a
cooperative multitasking environment without real tasks or threads. In
order for Twain to allow for some sort of multitasked integration into
an application it requires you to integrate the Twain handling into the
message loop of your application. As you do not have direct control
over the source code LabVIEW is written from, this is a very tedious
operation, with Windows message hooks and such, lots and lots of
semaphore protection to avoid race conditions etc. etc.
There is simply no way that you can do anything even remotely workable
just by using the Call Library Node. You will need a (rather complex)
external shared library that goes in between Twain and LabVIEW and
takes care of all the subtleties. I know for sure because I wrote such
a beast in the past.
Now there is a Toolkit from the French Alliance member Alliance Vision http://www.alliancevision.com/us/index.html that
does this. If you need Twain I would definitely go for this. My own
library is only to the point of what I had needed for a particular
project, (meaning it supports two specific scanners without issues) and
without any documentation for external users and I couldn't give it
away for free either.
Just want to warn you but there is a good chance that the Alliance
Vision Twain Toolkit does not really give you full programmatic control
of all the parameters of non-scanner devices and you won't be able to
avoid letting the Twain driver show the device specific configuration
dialog to manipulate specific settings.
In my own library I have low level functions to directly manipulate
Twain attributes but in order to be able to use that you would need a
through knowledge of the Twain specifications down to the API. That
together with the difficulties to support other devices I don't have
available, made us decide to not try to sell this Toolkit yet.

IMAQ image with black squares

Hi. I'm using LabView to take a series of images with a camera. When I
preview the image in the camera's software it appears normal. I use
Labview/IMAQ and the VIs that came with the camera. The problem is that
the output TIFF files have this nasty black square checker pattern. I'm
making 8bit images. I there something I can change in IMAQ or the
output as TIFF that could explain this problem? Or is it likely
something in the third party VIs? I can explain more if need be.
Thanks,
-SHane

Shane--
The first thing to check whether it is the 3rd party VI's or not. You didn't even mention what kind of camera you are using, but whether you have a framebrabber or not, if you go to Measurement and Automation Explorer and try to do a snap there do you still see this behavior? This is where you can directly interact with the driver to see what the software is interpreting from your camera. Depending on what type of camera you have you may need a camera file. You can check at www.ni.com/camera to see if we have one. If not, you might check with the manufacturer, if they have VI's they might also have the camera file. If you respond back please include what type of camera and framegrabber you are using. Also, what type of video signal does the camera send out? [If its is a standard you won't need the camera file] Just let me know and we can work from there.

I want to create an image gallery with forward back nav, master image with a click to pop out zoom

Hi Musers,
I'm currently building a photography website and need some help building a specific type of gallery.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Below is a description of the gallery I want to build:
On the gallery page the gallery appears as a single 'Master Image' with forward and back 'Navs.' and a 'Counter' underneath this single 'Master Image'. Lets say that there are 10 images in this gallery. When the viewer clicks on the forward 'Nav.' the 'Master Image' changes to the next image in the sequence of 10 and the 'Counter' below confirms this progression, in this example the 'Counter' changes from 1 of 10 to read 2 of 10, the 'Master Image' displayed is the second image in the sequence.
Simple so far.. This above I can do as this is just a basic gallery. What follows is what I cannot find a solution for.
I want the gallery viewer to be able to click on the 'Master Image' and launch an enlargement of that image overlaying the gallery page, very much like the way the 'Lightbox' widget displays an enlarged image. When the viewer clicks off the 'Ligtbox' or enlarged image it dissapears, reverting the page view back to the standard gallery view with 'Master Image', 'Navs.' and 'Counter'. I do not want the expanded / Enlarged 'Lightbox' image accompanied by a thumbnail gallery, 'Navs.' / Navigation arrows or a 'Counter'. What I want is to be able to launch an enlarged version of the 'Master Image' as an overlay on the gallery page, something like a pop out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Can anyone explain how I can do this? Is it possible?
The solution I want seems to be a highbrid between the standard gallery with navigation arrows kept but minus thumbnails and captions with some of the functionality of the lightbox gallery widget.
I very much appreciate any help anyone can give.
Thank you

Hi Harriet,
Thanks for the message. I'm sure as time goes on new features will be introduced but it's a bit of a shame that the widget library is a little basic, oh, and at times it's just that little bit buggy. So far I'm really impressed by Muse despite being ever so slightly disappointed by some of it's limitations. I'd like to see more image gallery options, the ability to set up a client login area or a client ftp within a site, I also tried embedding video but as I'm no programmer the result looked clumsy so some focus on this would be a help. Considering that a good number of people benefiting from a Muse site will be online retailers a zoom function should have been there from the start.
Best regards
Jacques

Wordpress http error while uploading images with flash

Hi guys
I have a problem with my wordpress blog " bollywood wallpapers ". When I try to upload images with defualt wordpress flash uploader I get "http" error.
I am having this problem from last 5 months.

Dear Siva,
that is indeed strange.
Still don't know if this could be an issue with your NWDS or the PAR itself.
So let's do 2 tests
===============================================
TEST NR. 1
Let's try and check the NWDS first by creating a custom PAR.
Don't worry, it's easy.
Just open your NWDS and go to the top menu
File > New > Project
Inside the popup window that will open please choose
Portal Application (on the left) and Create a Portal Application Project (on the right)
Then give any name you would like (no spaces or dots, etc...)
You now have a Portal project created on NWDS ( you will see a folder on the left side with your project name)
Click on that folder with your LEFT mouse button and choose EXPORT
Choose PAR File
Choose your Project
Choose a path where you want your PAR file to be saved. (uncheck the deploy PAR file, but check the include the source code).
And click Finish.
Now delete the project you have created (by clicking on the folder with your LEFT mouse button again, but chose DELETE project)
Now you're ready to re-import the PAR file.
===============================================
TEST NR. 2
Maybe your standard PAR file that you've downloaded doesn't have the source code included or is corrupted.
Please try to open it with a ZIP program and check what type of structure/files you have there.
Have you also checked your NWDS log ?
You could also share here that log, so that I can better help you.
Kindest Regards

Bridge CS4 won't output to pdf multiple images with same filename

Hiya...my googling efforts have thus far failed!
I've got CS4, and in Bridge, I created a New Smart Collection to find all filenames in a folder containing "." or ".jpg" - which in turn searched through all the subfolders like what you used to be able to do in Photoshop CS3. Very simple stuff, but all the images are jpg's, but in multiple folders (I don't want to move them out of the folders, as the files came from an external source, and there are heaps of folders, and I don't want to pdf each subfolder seperately as it will take forever).
The problem is that some of the files have the same filenames (again I'd prefer not to rename, as it happens a lot on this project, and they are all over the place). So whilst Bridge will show the thumbnail images correctly in the content tabbed screen in my New Smart Collection, but once I've done the Output to PDF thing, for example, instead of showing both different images it has pdf only the first image but repeated it twice. And this happens multiple times throughout the pdf, the more times the same filename is used, the more times the first image gets repeated.
I know that it is messy to have multiple similar filenames, but why can't bridge just place the image anyway? It allocated a space for it on the pdf and does show it in bridge, it just doesn't seem to survive the transfer to pdf well.
The only other thing that I have done is use the below link (which was posted on another adobe forum thread) to create a custom pdf output template (nothing too fancy, just number of rows / columns, size, font etc). But I've tried using the standard bridge templates and it does the same thing.
http://www.proficiografik.com/2009/08/03/save-custom-pdf-output-template-in-adobe-bridge-c s4.html
Any help would be appreciated...even if to tell me that I am being unreasonable!
UPDATE 16/11/09
Just to let you know that I seem to have resolved the bug inadvertently with one of the Adobe updates. The below is the link for the AdobeOutputModule-2.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.zip which was released on 2/19/2009 - which allows for headers & footers to be placed in the Ouput pdf. I finally installed it today, and everything seems to be working fine now (i.e. I can pdf multiple images with the same filenames and the pdf will actually show each different image rather than repeating only 1 of the images).
Must have been a fix installed in the contact sheet templates that get installed with the update - not sure why the original version was corrupted, but I've left that with the Adobe guys (I submitted a bug report - and they were able to replicate the problem but hadn't fixed it as yet).

When I click import from disc I am asked to choose a disc and then I get this message:
The following photos will not be imported because they are already present in the catalog. To see these photos in the catalog select 'Show in Library' (the import will be canceled).
This is followed by a long list of images. If I click 'Show in Library' I can see all the images with the same filename. And then they start to automatically write over those images with images from the disc. However they keep the same metadata and keywords from the previous images. If I click on Import and deselect the "don't reimport suspected duplicates" box, it imports only the images that don't share filenames and none of the images that do.
Is there a way of setting the "Don't reimport suspected duplicates" box in preferences?

Basic system struggling with Standard Def MPG files

We built two news editors about 6 months ago and needed to build both computers for $1200. These were replacing two old Avid Newscutter XP systems from 2004...
Because we were shooting DVCAM on DSR-250 camera's or to .mov/.avi DV files on nNovia QC Decks on the camera's, the files were basic DV 25Mbps content in SD.
Based on the System Requirements of Adobe for Premiere CS5, I didn't feel I needed to build these as top end machines at the time.
They are as follows:
MSI Motherboard 77T-C45 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130270

Corsair 400W Power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139008
Looking back at it now, and after reading a lot of posts, these systems are on the low end. Guess that is how Adobe gets more people to buy software, make it look like it will run on what you have, after you shell out the cash on the program you realize you have to upgrade hardware too..
The systems have been working great for the SD footage we needed them for. We are not going HD anytime soon as our entire studio, routers, switcher, CG, playout system, studio camera's and pretty much everything else would need updating. So I wanted editors that were more user friendly and would handle what we were working with and that is what I got. Figured in 3-5 years when HD comes along for us it will be time for entire new system on CS7 with 30 cores, 1 TB of memory and such... (More's Law)...
So new twist to the issue. We were having a lot of issues with camera's dying the last few months. It was getting hard to keep the DSR-250s working and even though I can buy them for $1000-$1500 used off of e-bay and they are in way better shape than ours, they were big, bulky and our reporters "one man band" it a lot and two of the young women are just shy of 5 foot. You should see a petite little reporter lug a huge shoulder mount camera up onto the tripod and run it when it is bigger than them.. Really funny!!
So I pushed for new camera's and found the new Sony HXR-NX5U met all our needs in that it is a Z1/Z5 style camera (smaller format) but has "NO TAPE"...Shoots to SD cards and a 4 GB class 2 gives 58 min each in SD.
It will shoot HD as AVCHD 24Mbps files and does SD as Mpeg-2 and 9 Mbps with AC3 audio. I demo'd a camera from Sony and did a lot of testing with it, I played a few clips on the CS5 systems and everything seemed ok. They did require a quick render and I think that has to do with the Mpeg-2 compression. It is about 1/4-1/2 time render so a 5 minute clip will take 1-2.5 minutes roughly to render out. Playback is ok even when not rendered but the video looks fuzzy on the CRT monitor looped off of our Firewire DSR-11 DVCAM deck. Not a big deal, they can edit and render at the end before dumping to tape.
Problem that came up today (we just started using the new camera's this week), when I went to diagnose system crashing, I found a simple news package on the timeline. Maybe 40 small clips, edited into a package, with simple edits. It was already rendered but I noticed the fan on the system was running fast which only happens if the CPU is working hard. (Front Case Fan 120mm is on the CPU fan header PWM control, CPU fan is on Northbridge fan connector non-PWM controlled) So the CPU fan (stock) is running at full speed but I used the MB temp monitoring to control the front fan so I could have a quiet system when it is not working hard.
That led me to open the task manager. I found that the CPU is running along at 94-98% for both Cores. Ram is ok as Premiere was using about 1.8GB of the 4 GB in the system. I checked the other system and it was doing the same thing.
What is odd, is premiere is just sitting there with a timeline open, mpeg-2 clips on it and me not doing anything it stays at 92% continually. I even close the project so I am out at the "new project" "Open Project" screen and no change. If I hit exit, then the CPU drops right away down to 7% and is fine. Open premiere back up into a project and CPU goes right back up. During a timeline Render it is 100%.
We are able to edit and they seem to work but it is causing the system to run Hot and is running the CPU at near max all the time. I added two more 80mm fans out the back that will help pull more hot air out.
Is my chip way to slow for mpeg? is there a setting that I must change to optimize editing mpeg-2? I am assuming it is the work to decode the video on the fly, something the DV video didn't require so much CPU for. I am not using GPU acceleration as I do not have a card that supports it even with the hack that I know of. And GPU Acc. doesn't work for DV firewire output either.
I am considering the following:
1. Buy larger aftermarket CPU cooler and overclock my chip as many say this "Black Edition" with an unlocked multiplier is a breeze to overclock up to 4 Ghz range. (but still only 2 cores)
2. Buy a replacement 4 or 6 core processor to replace it (also with the better than stock Cooler from above)
The only problem is having to spend so much money on additional hardware.
I am also going to optimize Windows 7 on these editors as I think Areo is running and other none essential things.
The big question is why is it maxing out when doing NOTHING????? Is it just trying to build that freeze frame on the screen as it is a picture between the I- frames? (i.e. not a real frame of video but one created by decoding the info of IPPBPPIPPBPPI etc.)
Any idea's/help would be great. Anyone else using this camera and the SD files? I didn't think this would be an issue as I had read post that people were editing this kind of stuff on CS3 a few years back. Can't believe it would cause a newer system so much grief..

As you may have seen I posted your results. Your statement:

is damn accurate. 8-th rank from the bottom and around 32 x slower than a fast system, out of nearly 200 systems tested. For DV that is still perfectly acceptable, but for AVCHD it is not enough.
Your problem is the same in every industry. One can increase productivity and reduce hazards or improve working conditions (like less bulky and heavy cameras), but only at a price, by investing in new technology. It makes no sense to only invest in new cameras, without also investing in new computer equipment. It would be similar to investing in new production machinery in a plant, but postponing the training required for employees to properly use that new machinery. IMO that is a typical example of 'penny-wise, pound foolish'.
When I built these systems 8 months ago, I was originally going to get CS4, then I read on the site the CS5 was just around the corner, didn't want to buy the version on it's way out so I held off. I had never been to this forum, wish I had, things might be different.... I went off of this list when deciding what we would need:
Intel® Core™2 Duo or AMD Phenom® II processor; 64-bit support required
64-bit operating system required: Microsoft® Windows Vista® Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise with Service Pack 1 or Windows® 7
2GB of RAM (4GB or more recommended)
10GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on removable flash-based storage devices)
7200 RPM hard drive for editing compressed video formats; RAID 0 for uncompressed
1280x900 display with OpenGL 2.0–compatible graphics card
Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
Adobe-certified card for capture and export to tape for SD/HD workflows
OHCI-compatible IEEE 1394 port for DV and HDV capture, export to tape, and transmit to DV device
Sound card compatible with ASIO protocol or Microsoft Windows Driver Model
DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (DVD+-R burner for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
QuickTime 7.6.2 software required for QuickTime features
Broadband Internet connection required for online services*
I understand competely now that these systems are too slow, Adobe's own specs are way to low. I knew I was on the low end but the problem is we built them for DV so I wasn't expecting them to do much more than that. According to Adobe, I was in the (recommended Spec, not even the minimum...) If I was wanting to attempt AVCHD right now I would start over, but the desire now is to edit .mpg clips. It seems to be able to do that but when we have a few on the timeline and they are rendered the CPU just maxes out for no reason. But I have trouble duplicating it myself...
Today I went in and there was one .mpg clip on a timeline. I checked the CPU and it was running at 98%. I closed that project, started a new one with standard DV NTSC same as the reporters. Imported the same .mpg file that was on this reporters project. I placed it on the timeline just as she had it and did some cuts and worked with it for over 5 minutes. Rendered it all and the CPU looked fine, maybe 40-50% in bursts. Playing it would cause it to go up some, stop it would go down. Could not get it to do what it was doing for her. Closed my project re-opened hers and boom CPU to 98% again.
here are some screenshots:
You can see here is where opening her project caused the spike. Then not doing anything with Premiere it just floats along the top...

For Dynamic Credit Check replacing Material Availability date with Delivery date

Hi All,
Our client has this requirement, where they want to change the standard SAP functionality which Checks whether a schedule line item in a sales order is with in horizon or not based on "Material Availability Date" VBEP-MBDAT. They want in place of this Delivery date of schedule line should be used i.e. VBEP-EDATU. I did some research and found out that this could be done technically by updating the BADI "BADI_SD_CM".
Now we are stuck as to what needs to be changed? has anybody worked on this kind of requirement before?
Please share your past experience.
Thanks and Regards,
Prateek Maheshwari.

As you know, VBELN-Currency-POSNR-ETENR-MBDAT is standard exposure key of sales order but my ex-colleague changed it into VBELN-Currency-POSNR to compress exposure data for certain CCA.
In this case, of course, that CCA should meet some biz requirements(User-exit. etc) like no partial delivery. etc.... for integrity of exposures..
This case is different because you want to change value of key....and it's Date!!!!
Anyway I think it's techinically possible but it's very risky in live system because existing exposures would be not removed even if delivered, changed, deleted or blocked.
So you have to delete all exposures and rebuild after program changed.
I'm writing it's possible now but I refused when my customer want to change it because I don't have any way to rebuild huge data in live system.

Issue in generating Invoice with standard and service material

There is one scenario where along with standard material (i.e Tube bending machine) they charge the customer for the Design and Development of a machine (which is a service). Is it possible to make a standard order with the standard material(with excise and cst/vat) and service material (with service tax only) in one single order?
I have tried with both the material in a single order but while making invoice system is taking only the standard material as in item category we have mentioned Billing relevance from delivery document. And service material will not have the delivery.
I would be thankful if you could spare some time and check the exact problem.

Hello,
Yes.. this is a common problem when you use Delivery relevent material and service material in the same order. Why don't you use the service material in differnt order and invoice it? or do you have any restriction like the delivery relevent material and the service material should be billed in one invoice?
