Looks pretty clean, but I have not looked at it in detail.
Here are a few notes:
Isn't this supposed to be inside a project?
I hate it when diagrams are maximized to the screen (main VI and file I/O vi)
You have an existing log file and if I run the VI, new data gets appended. The problem is that the existing entries have a comma as decimal seperators, while the new entries (run in the US) have a decimal point. This could confuse a program that later might analyze the logs. You should decide on a wordwide format.
To blink the pilot, you can create a direct property node for the button inside the cluster (right-click button on the front panel...create....property node. see image below). No need to get all control references and index out one. (even if you get all the boiler control references, that only needs to be done once outside the loop and not every time it is needed.
As has been said by jeff above, terminals of subVIs should be on the toplevel diagram, and not buried inside case structures.
In the file I/O subVI (open file case), you only handle error 7. Shouldn't you handle all errors somehow? For example if the file is "read only", you would get error 8.
It would seem more easy to format "event" and "event data" into a single string in the main VI. Now you only need one feedback node to see if anything changed. The combination of strings and numerics can easily be done with single formatting statements.

    Overall a C- job  Some things you did well. Please excuse me for only pointing out the flaws as my time is limited.
    You have some bad habits that you need to break;
    Icons.  They need to convey information to the next maintainer of your code.  Is that a flame under a teakettle?  Like GUIs the color usage in icons should avoid garashness and help aid clairity.  Your file read vi icon uses a glyph I would associate with a error dialog.

  • PPPoE problem - solution for review

    I'm posting this to save others the search after I troubleshot a painful issue, which wiser types may be able to clarify the background.
    Equipment: DLink DSL 504T Gen II; MBP 2008; AEBSdual-n 2009
    Problem: Set up new AEBSdual-n, set up security, PPPoE to bridged modem and accept all default networking settings. With correct username & p/w, AEBS fails to authenticate, flashing yellow and generally not responding to Airport Utility very well, even by wired connection...
    Solution: Noticed that default DHCP prefix in Airport is 10.x.x.x which is the same ilk as the Dlink DSL 504T. Wonder if the subnets are clashing or something. Try changing DHCP prefix given out by AEBS to 192.168.x.x and all works fine. Note that to achieve this I had to hard reset (power and reset button at once) to restore default settings.
    Those wiser than me can look at the reasons, but I wanted to post a likely solution for many others I've read when researching the problem.
    Cheers,

  • Sample CLD (Boiler Controller) Solution for Review

    Hi,
    I have solved the Boiler Control example, as part of my CLD practice.
    Can you guys please review it?
    I couldn't meet the timing deadline but I think I can do it with some practice.
    Also please excuse the documentation part. I hav done almost nothing on that as of now.
    I would like to see comments on architecture, functionality, code readability, etc.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm studying for the CLD myself and haven't passed it, so take my comments with a grain of salt.
    A few suggestions. They're all very minor.
    1) For your next practice, take the last 10 minutes of the 4 hours and do documentation. Those are fast, easy points. It's even better if you document as you go - just type a quick description of what you're doing in each frame, and add documentation to your VI Properties (especially your main one).
    2) This is very minor, but I noticed a lot of coercion dots. A Quick Drop and Ctrl+I will clear those out quickly.
    3) I think you should hide your debug indicators for State Q. At least move them off to the side, away from the desired front panel.
    4) Shift cluster should definitely be a typedef.
    5) Is there a reason you used a "File Directory/Info" instead of a "Check if File Exists" function? This is more a curiosity question than anything; the way you coded is functional, but sort of indirect.
    6) I'm not sure if the exact right values are writing for the log file, I see "6/27/2012::10:29 PM,Pilot Proved,29.59" as a line, and I would expect the Pilot value to be >30?
    I think barring a slight lack of documentation, it looks great. It's very organized and it's clear in every state what you're doing.
    I hope you pass! Good luck on your exam!

  • Sample CLD (Car Wash) Solution for Review

    Hi,
    This is my first time posting. I am studying to take the CLD and I have attached my solution to the Car Wash sample exam (LV2011) using a PC-Events architecture. I ignored the time constraints for now to see where I stand as far as functionality and style. I tried to be thorough (not creative) with documentation as well. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Great, thanks for the feedback. Any chance you can show me how you use the queue naming and the sub vi in this way? I've played with it but my attempts do nothing to improve the BD.
    Thanks
    Sure,  Here is a copy of my PC loop (events) template with the consumer loop as a sub-vi (Type Defs disconnected)
    (NOTE: my template contains vi documentation template as well)  This won't save you on the CLD exam since the shipping templates are all you can use.  But having your own for "Real Life" sure speeds up programming time.

    Good afternoon all...
    I took the CLD this morning, and I must say that was the hardest exam I have ever taken. It was much much harder than any of the practice exams. I think I completed about 60% of the application before I ran out of time. I had everything documented, and it was clean code. I only hope I garner enough points to pass....

    Unable to charge my Ipad 4 with my Laptop (HP 7010tx) USB . I am Getting error message as "Not Charging" . Please give a solution for this ...???

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Is RoboHelp Server the solution for us?

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to figure out whether RH Server is the solution for us. I've seen a few similar posts in the forums, but none that really answer my specific questions. I'm hoping for feedback from someone with experience in RH Server, who is perhaps in a similar situation to us.
    We are a software development company, creating desktop software for PCs. We have three main applications, and approximately 20,000 users. I am the company's (only) Tech Writer.
    Currently I provide documentation (user guides) to our clients in the form of the good ol' CHM file. I develop these in RH8. Each of our applications is bundled with an installed CHM file which users access by pressing F1. I'm sure you're all familiar with this process. Our users run our software on their own systems, completely independent of us - there's no connection to us whatsoever. However, they all have Internet access, as it's a requirement for them to be able to use certain functionality within our applications. Hold that thought.
    I also write Knowledge Base Articles in MS Word, as PDFs, which users access via our web site. Internal to our organisation, I provide KBAs and other such material for our Technical Support staff. These aren't available/accessible to the public. I write these in Word because they need to be sent around to a team of reviewers from time-to-time, and whilstI'm the only person with RH installed, everyone has Word.
    What I'm hoping to achieve with RH Server is this:
    Do away with the old CHM files that our users have. They're just awful. I'm hoping that in future, when our users press F1 from within our applications, they will be taken to a corresponding page on a web site or AIR page similar to what the Adobe Help looks like when we access it from RoboHelp. Forgive my ignorance if I've used incorrect terminology. That way they'll always be reading the latest Help content, live, online, instead of what I wrote last time we sent a product update out. I imagine our programmers will have to edit the functionality behind the action of our users pressing F1 in our applications. Has anyone done this? Are there any issues we should be aware of? What happens if our users don't currently have Internet access, for example - is it possible to call a local version of the Help instead, if this is detected? Has anyone done this with a similar number of users to us? We could well have 100s of users trying to access the system simultaneously.
    Gather feedback from users. From what I understand, we'll be able to use RH Server to see which Help topic/content is being viewed, and also receive feedback from users. Can anyone give me feedback on their experiences with this? Any tips/hints/issues I need to be aware of? Is it possible for us to determine which users accessed which content? Remember, the idea is that users should be able to access this content by pressing F1 - I don't want them to have to sign in every time they need to access our Help system - it should be seamless to them. So, I'm wondering how it would be possible to track user usage without making them sign in. This is important to us because some of our content is region-specific, and it would be handy to know if users from those regions are actually accessing the Help content that relates to them.
    Host our internal documentation on the same server as our public documentation. Is it possible to host all of our internal, private documentation on the same RH Server, making it available to our Tech Support team (and other internal teams) only? I imagine we could do this by password-protecting it, but I want to ensure that the public don't even know it exists. ...and our Tech Support people would not be impressed with having to sign in every time they wanted to access their Knowledge Base. Any tips here regarding locking down / restricting access to content?
    A quick note about collaboration:
    Currently, although the Help menus are developed in RH, the KBAs and other PDF documents are written in MS Word. I send them around to a team of reviewers who add their comments/edits and send them back to me. From what I understand, this is something I can do with RH10 - export PDFs and send them around for review, combining the results later, at which time I give them a final review before publishing. Have I understood this correctly? Does RH Server play a part in this process? Can I use RH Server's feedback capabilities as a mechanism for my review team to make edits/comments? I guess I'm trying to get an understanding of how sophisticated the RH Server feedback system is. If I can use RH Server to have the team read/review documents, it'll save me having to manage a bunch of Word documents that I email them. It'll also minimise the chance that a redundant document gets distributed by mistake - something that can occur because people use their locally-saved documents I emailed them earlier, instead of the finals.
    Thank you.

    Hi, symmetricalMan
    Let's see if I can tackle some of these "inline". There are a lot of moving parts to your system (you're a busy guy!)
    I only have time for a few of these. Perhaps Colum McAndrew and others will chime it with their experiences.
    >>they will be taken to a corresponding page on a web site or AIR page similar to what the Adobe Help looks like when we access it from RoboHelp.
    It would be WebHelp Pro in the scenario you mention (not AIR Help).
    By "taken to a corresponding page" you are referring to Context Sensitive Help which RoboHelp Server does support (including your F1 scenario).
    >>What happens if our users don't currently have Internet access, for example - is it possible to call a local version of the Help instead, if this is detected?
    Hmm. You could either package a plain WebHelp (not Pro) output and distribute for access on a share drive. The detection thing would be up to your developers. Come to think of it, AIR Help does have a potential alternative here which might be worth looking into. Obviously, there would be two systems to maintain. I'm not up to date on it, but you'll find info here in the online help: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS81F63111-6ACF-4a02-B2B2-461FEBFA8093.html
    >>.we'll be able to use RH Server to see which Help topic/content is being viewed, and also receive feedback from users.
    Actually, the "feedback" is anonymous (no names are collected.) You can however, create "Areas" and analyze the traffic on topics according to sub-sets of your users.
    The feedback is not direct from the users. In other words, RoboHelp Server (at least for now) does not support Commenting (as AIR Help does). So Feedback Reports are derived from the end-users "surfing" your site and collecting their search terms verbatim to get an idea of what they are searching for in order to improve your content.
    >>So, I'm wondering how it would be possible to track user usage without making them sign in.
    RH Server Sites do not have to be "Protected" by authentication. It is your choice. You can have some sites (called Areas) that are authenticated and some sites that are not authenticated, all on the same RH Server. RoboHelp Server uses a database and can authenticate users (by setting up protected "Areas".) However, my networking knowledge is limited and you would have to ask someone else about "persistent logins" etc.
    >>content is region-specific, and it would be handy to know if users from those regions are actually accessing the Help content that relates to them.
    Yes, you can do this. This is where RoboHelp Server can be used to create "Areas" for different content to be delivered to different audiences.
    >>Is it possible to host all of our internal, private documentation on the same RH Server,
    Yes you can. However the Tech Support sign in scenario question would have to be answered by someone else. It's hard to know from where I sit.
    >>RH10 - export PDFs and send them around for review, combining the results later, at which time I give them a final review before publishing
    Yes, this workflow would seem to work for you. However, RoboHelp Server plays no role in this review one way or the other. There are many alternatives for sharing the PDF which is described in the documentation.
    See #6 on this page:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS1b49059a33f77726-2db1c75912bc47baaf8-7ffb. html
    You should also download the Adobe RoboHelp Server Reviewer's Guide which also has videos embedded.

  • Make your own Fax Server with Automator! (Pagesender solution for Mavericks)

    I have been scouring these discussion boards for some time now looking for a suitable substitute to PageSender, an awesome fax solution for the Mac from SmileOnMyMac LLC, which for some inexplicable reason stopped development and updates after OS 10.6.8. The result is that many small business office users who still rely on fax (and yes...no matter what they tell you, most of the business world DOES still use fax because it's legally binding and more secure than email for the transmission of legal documents or healthcare records, and does not rely on database integration accross different systems, which is sadly but very realistically still a long ways off), and no longer have a way to integrate faxes into a paperless or digital workflow office system.
    I suspect like many folks who receive faxes, those who used PageSender, used a very powerful feature to forward faxes by email, thereby turning your Mac into a Fax server that could distribute your faxes to other workstations and staff throughout the business via email. Presumably, if you have your own email server (Exchange, Kerio, AppleMail server, PostFix enabler etc.) you could distribute faxes on your own internal network, securely behind a firewall, and effectively create a digitial/paperless workflow for your faxes.
    Even if you have a USB modem or multifunction printer that allows you to recieve a Fax to your desktop (Apple's internal fax via printer preferences, and some HP models like the HP MFP 127fw) for example will allow you to recieve a Fax to a desktop folder or forward to a single email address. But the former is of limited functionaliy and the later only lets you send to an email address out over the internet with a registered public domain, which means you give up all control of privacy and means you can't process it through a private mail server to create a digital workflow for your office...
    ...Until now!!!
    I am happy to report that I have finally discovered a very easy and useable feature that will save a lot of time, money, and headaches for those looking to create a digital workflow and fax server system for a small office system. (I don't think there is any limit to scale here, but I suspect offices with more than 10 employees probably have a BizHub, or HP MFP/digital sender that can create the same process directly from the printer, but of course these come with a price tag of $2000 and up...).
    To accomplish this however, you will need some basic requirements which are as follows:
    1) A USB modem from either US Robotics or Zoom Modem. These are readily available from Amazon, MacMall or any number of other online vendors and work very well and seemlessly with all Macs running OSX right up through Mavericks
    OR
    A Multifunction printer that is capable of receiving faxes to a desktop Mac like the HP 127 fw. Other models exist from other manufacturers as well, but you will have to do a bit of research and probably check with the vendor or user manual directly to confirm that Fax to desktop is supported for Mac and OS 10.9.
    2) A dedicated Mail Server (MSFT Exchange, Kerio, MacOSX server with mail server enabled, or PostFix enalber or MailServe from Cutedge Systems)
    You will need to set up an email account on your server that is the parent for all incoming faxes from which the faxes will be sent out as part of your digital workflow. This is beyond the scope of this discussion but if you've come this far and you're still reading, you probably know  how to do this already. I recommend setting this up as a POP account, not IMAP. This way, the attatchments (your faxes) will always remain on your server as a back up, until you delete them from the server.
    3) Now simply go to System preferences and select "Printers and Scanners". Select either the Fax printer for your multifunction printer, or add a fax printer/reviever using the + button and select "Fax" if you are using a USB modem. You must have the USB modem attatched to the computer in order to use the built-in Apple Fax feature for the latter option.
    4) Now click on the receive options. Select "Recieve faxes to this computer" and set your ring answer settings. Check "Save to" and select the designated folder (either Faxes or Shared Faxes on your computer) or create a new folder. Depending on the volume of faxes, and your back up systems, you may want to designate a separate folder on a separate drive, exclusively for your Faxes. This is where all your faxes will be stored.
    5) Now launch "Automator" in your applications folder and create a new workflow. You will be presented with several options. Select "Folder Action".
    6) At the top right of the window space you will see "Folder Action receives files and folders added to" . Select the Fax folder you created in step 4.
    7)On the left hand side of the "Actions" menu select "Mail"
    8) From the list of actions select "New Mail Message" this will take the latest Fax added to your Fax folder and attach it as a PDF to a new outgoing mail. In the "TO" address put the email address that belongs to the parent account your created for the Faxes on your mail server eg. [email protected].  In the subject field you can put "Fax Workflow" or any other generic subject that will identify to all reciptients that this is an email that contains a Fax/PDF attatchment.
    Under "account" use the SMTP account you set up on your mail server to handle the routing of internal emails. In most cases, this will be the same as the parent account created above. (Effectively, this account is sending and receiving emails to itself).
    9) From the list of actions, select "Send outgoing messages".
    10) Save the Automator workflow with a name like "FaxDistribution" or "FaxFlow".
    11) Go back to the Fax folder you created in step 4. Right click or option click on the folder and scroll down the options menu and select "Folder Actions Setup". You will see a list of scripts including the Automator workflow you just created. Choose it.
    That's it!! From now on, when you get a fax, it will get dumped into the designated fax folder, and this will automatically trigger the workflow to atttach and send it as an email to anyone in your office that is set up to receive emails with the "faxserver" address. You now have a paperless fax digital workflow server system for distributing your faxes digitally to anyone in your office who needs to review your faxes. Good luck!

    Thank you for this interesting posting.

  • I want to find any backup and recovery solution for SharePoint server 2013 enterprise

  • Docking solutions for Late 2013 MBPr

    I recently started a new job and I was issued the latest version of the 13" MacBook Pro as my work machine. My setup currently consists of two 22" Dell monitors, which take up the majority of my desk space. For the first few days, I tried to use the two monitors as well as the laptop display as a third, however I wasn't satisfied with the legibility of the retina display (specifically when working in Windows) while at my desk. It seems as though it would be fine if the laptop was directly in front of me (in other words, if I were using as a laptop), but for the majority of the time, I'll be at my desk in front of the two Dell monitors.
    Space is also a concern; for my desk phone to be comfortably within reach, it resides to the right of the second Dell monitor. In my current setup, the laptop is directly in front of it, so again, using that display doesn't really work in my favor (unless I want to close it every time I pick up the phone.
    Finally, the mess of cords I have to disconnect from the MacBook each time I pick it up is not especially attractive or functional.
    So, I'm wondering if there's a vertical docking solution (specifcially for the latest MacBook Pro) that might save some space on my desk as well as make the transition from desk work to field work a little more seamless. I've looked around a bit and found a few solutions for older MacBook Pros (like the Henge Docks), but these all seem to have too many connections for the new model.
    Being able to place the closed laptop in a vertical stand that has plugs for all my devices at the bottom would be idea. In a perfect world, my dock would look something like these: http://hengedocks.com/images/m_HD01VA13MB.jpg
    However, I've heard poor reviews about the Henge Docks (and again, they don't make one for the model I have) and everything else I've seen seems to be more or less a hub for cables with no dock compenent (which doesn't resolve my space issue).
    So, my question is: Does the perfect dock exist? And if it doesn't, what are the alternatives? I bought a BookArc for my MacBook Air which gets the job done as far as not taking up too much space is concerned, but never looked into a solution for cable management. I don't think I'd be entirely opposed to getting two components for my work machine (say, a BookArc-like dock and a separate hub that combines all my cables into one connector). If I go that route, do I have any better options?

  • Is this the solution for my business to create collaboration and ease of access of information?

    I think this service may be the solution to my needs....if it works the way I'm understanding it.  Let me know if there is something else offered. Here is my scenario:  I have a chain of command with 4 people.  Person number 1, needs to meet with a client and ask questions and fill their response on the ipad via a form/digital pdf. From there they need it available to Person number 2 and 3 to review and comment in a collaborative space, along with add on to the form itself when the meet with this same client.  From here all this information is sent to person number 4 for review and additional comments. 
    At this point tho, the information should still be available to anyway I deem needing to know this information on this client.  How much control do I have on who see's this clients information.  Does adobe protect this information as well from a HIPPA standpoint. Is this really how this adobe pdf service works?
    Thank you in advance!

    Thanks for the response.  From what I heard on the Apple forums, it was pretty clear that creating hyperlinks within the video was something that Flash could definitely do.
    I guess I'm curious to hear whether it's easy since I know nothing about Flash!  If ithere's going to be a major learning curve, I might not bother and continue to tell my clients I can't help them.
    BTW: If I wanted to import my video and create the hyperlinks, is it possible to export the video as a quicktime file and still keep the hyperlinks?  That's another important piece of this.
