Hi tst,
I definitely understand your point of this type of information not being
"useful" in your daily life as a LabVIEW programmer.
However, as explained on the LabVIEW Zone, the intension of
this contest is to find the person who has the most LabVIEW trivia knowledge. The
meaning of “trivia” that we are referring to does stretch all the way from “basic,
elementary knowledge” to “more obscure and arcane bits of knowledge”.
The questions will cover LabVIEW functionality, features,
history – and then all the information that doesn’t fit anywhere else. Some
answers can be found on the Web, some answers can be found by testing them in
LabVIEW (you can download LabVIEW 8 here), and then there are the answers that
you just have to guess – unless you’re the ultimate LabVIEW geek!
For challenges that better test your LabVIEW skills, please
refer to coding challenge on the LabVIEW Zone or the one on the LAVA Forums.
May the Ultimate LabVIEW G-eek win!

  • Windows intune message are you the primary users of this computer?

    When logged in with a adminstrative account, we successfully installed the Windows Intune client with the login crecentials that are specific for one user.
    When this user is logged in to his Windows desktop and he wants to start the Company Portal, he receives a message after using his Intune account credentials:
    "Are you the primary users of this computer? To take full advantage of the Windows Intune Portal, and to able to install apps on this computer, it has to be linked to you. If you aren't linked as the primary user of this computer, you will not be able
    to install apps from this portal.
    You have the option Yes or No.
    When selecting Yes, you will receive an error: Oops... an error occured! Link was not successful. An error occured when we tried to link you to this device. You will not be able to install apps onto this device from Windows Intune Portal before you are linked
    to the device. For assistance Contact IT.
    More information will show you an Activity ID code.
    When you continue you can install apps from the Portal, but each time you connect to the Portal you will receive this message.
    Is this a bug?

    Depending on how you plan on using Intune this may not apply but for us, it provided a "decent" work around for windows 8.1 devices.
    During our initial testing of Intune, we got around this "error" message on Windows 8.1 devices by installing the Company Portal app.  It required a separate Windows Store account to successfully install the app as none of my corporate test accounts
    were linked to Microsoft accounts, which you had the option to do. 
    Once the App was installed I was finally able to log into our Company Store with the test Intune account that was linked to the Windows 8.1 tablet.  Our published LOB apps were listed along with the linked device too. 
    You could definitely deploy or sideload the Company Portal app, but for my testing purposes installing from the Store was sufficient.  Unfortunately, logging in from the website or the Applications link located in the Windows Intune Center
    still will not work.  A solution would be greatly appreciated as we were hoping to deploy to Windows 7 devices also.

  • Running the latest Labview 2010 on new computers (Windows 7) but have the older/olde​st NI ELVIS hardware

    We are running the latest Labview 2010 on new computers (Windows 7) but have the older/oldest NI ELVIS hardware (NI ELVIS I?).
    Labview works great and the device drivers are installed.
    Which NI ELVIS software do we install?
    The latest version states that it is for the ELVIS II and III hardware,
    Thanks,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello,
    The ELVIS software installed fine and the ELVISmx Instrument Launcher runs fine.
    However, when I try to run an instrument, we get the following error (See Attachment):
    Error -200220 occurred at ALVISmx_DAQmx
    Create Channel (AI-Voltage-basic).vic4
    It seems that the software can't find the DAQ card which is directly hooked up to the ELVIS unit via a cable
    We aren't using USB. 
    I noticed that the newer ELVIS units use USB only.
    Is there a setup to make it recognize the card?   There used run with the older ELVIS software when you clicked on Continue in the error box.
    The PCI-6251 card checks out fine with MAX.
    Thanks,
    Tom

  • Outrage leads to Olive Branch: Jobs not Exactly Contrite Are You Satisfied?

    I think that this is a step in the right direction and KUDOS to ALL of us in the Apple community who wrote letters to Jobs and or iphone feedback @ apple instead of just ******** and moaning on this board.
    With that out of the way, notice the thinly veiled realization in Job's wording that he crossed the line by offering a price cut to the skeptics and left the true Apple core (pun intended) to twist in the wind. I think that this has been a lesson in Apple consumer activism for Jobs and a not so subtle hint that he can't play the same slash and burn game that other cell phone companies have played in the past. Apple users expect, and rightfully so, better.
    Kudos to Jobs for reacting to outrage, although a $100 credit is more like an Olive twig then a branch as it only gurantees that you'll spend that "refund" on an Apple product near you - it is a stumble in the right direction, nonetheless.
    Now would be a good time to launch a major software update making the iphone compatible with the WiFi Itunes store, and ...ad2p would be nice while you're at it.
    The question is, are you the enthusiast Apple'sumer who jumped at the chance to be the first on the block to snag that $599 revolution satisfied with Jobs concession?

    Well, you can exact your revenge, soon. The next hot sexy gadget will be released by the end of this month, as it is now, IT IS OVERPRICED, and A RIP-OFF. So you can start spreading the gospel and try to educate other people to not buy the ipod touch, and try to talk some sense to them that they will be grossly disappointed coming January when the announcement of the next ipod will come (take that you holiday buyers!!). Let me see if you can do it.... LOL.
    Maybe all these angry consumers will be able to make the ipod touch launch D.O.A.... hah hah hah hah... sorry I don't think that is gonna happen. If you buy something, and made that decision to own electronic products, you should be aware that the second you made the purchase, get ready to be disappointed because after the credit card been charged, your new toy is officially obsolete, outdated, and expired. That is just the way it is.
    The refund is a great effort, a damage control, and a nice gesture. It is good to know that at least Apple listen (and watch their stock plummeted), and yes, people, MONEY (and stock) TALKS!! So all of you disgruntle Apple consumers, you know what to do, don't buy ipod touch Resist if you can.... (ironically, the people who owns iphone probably can, lol).

  • Are you using the MathScript Node in LabVIEW or the MathScript Interactive Window?

    Are you using the MathScript Node in LabVIEW or the MathScript Interactive Window? I am very excited with the MathScript Node inside LabVIEW. However, I would like to see what other people think.
    Avalim

    Avalim,
    Personally, I am determining that I like to use the MathScript Node in LabVIEW.  It makes it easier for me to pass my data in and out of the LabVIEW environment!!  But, like you, I am excited to see what any other users think!!

  • Are you guys going to fix the memory leak in version 6

    Hi I was wondering if you guys were going to fix the huge memory leak in Firefox 6. As of now I use windows Vista 32bit Ultimate and Firefox is using 164MB of memory to view www.google.com. I'm sorta confused also on how SLOW the browser is. I never seen F.F act this way since F.F 6. I'm hoping that this will be resolved in version 7 cuz this is not cool so slow in all.

    On the "flip-side", I had the smoothest and quickest iTunes upgrade/install ever.  This was on my Windows 7 Professional, 64bit system.
    That you performed an assumedly 'clean' reinstall of your OS, is not a good sign.  Obviously, iTunes doesn't like something within your system.
    Here are the next steps that I would take if in your position:
    -  Are you absolutely positive that you have the 64bit version of iTunes?
    -  Re-download a new copy of the 64bit version of iTunes 10.5
    -  Try downloading iTunes from one of the 'mirror sites' - FileHippo is good
    -  Call your PC's manufacturer and see if they are aware of any conflicts with your specific machine's build with respect to iTunes
    -  Temporarily use another PC (if available) to get your iPhones up and running
    Best of Luck

  • Why are my LabView Dialog Boxes no longer modal when using the Example LabVIEW Operator Interfaces?

    Hello,
    I have a step in my sequence that pops up a modal LabVIEW dialog box. My LabVIEW vi uses the TestStand - Start Modal Dialog.vi and TestStand - Stop Modal Dialog.vi as described in the example and it works as advertised when I'm using the TestStand Development environment however when I use the sample Operator Interfaces distributed with TestStand the Dialog boxes lose focus. I have the VI Properties->Window Appearance set to Dialog and have followed all of the instructions I could find for making a dialog modal. I've also reviewed all the documentation I could get my hands on including previous posts on this board and didn't see anything obvious.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I may be missing? Has anyone else experienced this problem and come up with the solution?
    I am using LabVIEW 8.0 along with TestStand 3.5.
    Thanks,
    RG

    Hi RG,
    Running the example modal dialog in the teststand3.5 examples folder and using labVIEW8.0, I notice that when  the Dialog is displayed its not active, but it is modal to the OI. Clicking on the Dialog panel makes it active. If you try to click on the OI panel behind, you can not. Is this what you are seeing?
    I am using the Full labVIEW IO as supplied with TestStand and the example VI in the modal dialog folder is as supplied.
    The LabVIEW Adapter is still configured to use the active labVIEW developement environment.
    If I run the same example, only this time using LabVIEW7.1, the Dialog panel is active.
    There is a patch to take it to labVIEW8.01, at this moment in time I am not sure what the update fixes.
    There does seem to be a problem with TestStand3.5 (engine) and LabVIEW 8.0.
    Regards

  • HT1414 When I hit restore a file menu from my computer pops up and I am not sure what file to put in to get my iphone to restore from.  I don't get the box that says are you sure you want to restore.  So how do I get it to restore so I can see if this fix

    I got a "new" iphone from the Apple store when my dog bit the phone and cracked the front.  This new phone will not play any music, ie no sound will come out.  I can watch videos with sounds but no music from any of my playlists.  I checked with Apple and was told to try to restore my iphone.  I did all the necessary prep work like backing up and syncing and then hit the restore button on the iTunes page.  A file menu icon popped up with a blank in it and I do not know what file I need to put in the window as where it needs to find a file to restore the phone.  I never got a message that said are you sure you want to restore the phone.  I need some help if anyone knows how to do this or should I just go back to the Apple store (which is over an hour away)?  Thanks

    I am syncing my iphone to my iTunes account and then I do a backup and also making sure all updates are current.  Then by going to the my phone and then going to the right and selecting the restore my iphone.

    In case you did not find it, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement on Premiere Elements 19/NVIDIA GeForce
    that appears at the top of this forum.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
    to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
    the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
    Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
    Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found

  • When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me  ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

    when i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me  ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

    Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
    You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already.  Then you will have two computers authorized.  Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time.  If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
    Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library.  Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct.  But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.

  • The type or namespace name 'VisualStudio' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

    we are using VS 2013. i have created new build definition and run that created build its getting failed and showing error message as "The type or namespace name 'VisualStudio' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly
    reference?)" and "The type or namespace name 'WinComboBox, UITestControl, WinTitleBar.....etc' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)". in the error log is showing the error number are "error CS0234
    & error CS0246". 
    Actually i have created build for automation execution from MTM lab environment. i have to assign the build to the test plan. once the build is passed , i will assign to the test plan and run with automation options. 
    if i build the solution its getting successfully build. but when i run the created build definition it show the error message's.  
    Could you guide me how to resolve the above error's ? 
    Thanks in Advance...

    Hello Divakar Ponnada,
    I have checked the error CS0234 from here:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0e92xd7b.aspx
    It means your project cannot find the proper reference to your type "Visual Studio" from the namespace Microsoft.
    May I ask this question, does your build definition means something like the following blog described?
    http://www.asp.net/web-forms/overview/deployment/configuring-team-foundation-server-for-web-deployment/creating-a-build-definition-that-supports-deployment
    "A build definition is the mechanism that controls how and when builds occur for team projects in TFS. "
    If that is the problem, may I ask whether your build agent is in the same machine where you build your application?
    The build agent will first search for the reference from its local GAC and if it cannot find it, the error like you said will reports. Please manually build your project from your build agent machine to see the result, or install Visual Studio to your build
    agent machine. In that way I think your problem may fixed.
    Best regards,
    Barry

  • My email password and my verizon account password are the same? Are you SERIOUS?

    The other day I did something I never do, actually log into my verizon account.  I hate the verizon interface, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than use it, but every now and then I have to use it to handle a bill.  So, of course the password that I remembered setting on it didn't work.  So I jumped through the hoops to reset the password, conducted my business, and left the site, hopefully not to return for a year at least.
    Lo and behold, the next time I tried to access my email (which I use Thunderbird for, and don't tell me it's not a supported client, it works fine, and no I'm not going to use Verizon's webmail interface), it won't accept my email password.  Now, this password HAD always been distinct from my verizon account password.  But...telling myself, "Oh no they didn't," I tried using the new password that I'd set for my online account.  Surprise!  It let me into my email!
    Now, this morning, neither the new password nor my old email password are being accepted.
    So, I have two questions, apart from the existential "why does Verizon feel the need to torture its customers like this":
    1)Are they SERIOUSLY requiring you to have the SAME password for your email AND your My Verizon Account?
    2)If, as I hope and pray, the answer to 1 is "hellz no", how can I change just my EMAIL password?
    Anticipating a reply of, "No, it's just one password, because we've decided that's MORE secure, and your whole problem is that you're using Thunderbird, because ummmm somehow Thunderbird renders passwords into ancient Greek before it submits them and so it won't work, but of course some dull-normal client like Outlook WILL work, and don't ask me the details because I'm really not very technical, but apparently I'm technical enough to tell you that your client is no good"...

    Yes, the passwords are the same now. Verizon made a big push a while back to give customers a single login. They merged everyone's accounts, not because it is more secure, but because they think customers will find it easier. No, there is no way to change just your email password.
    And no, there is absolutely nothing wrong with using Thunderbird. Many of us have it configured for verizon.net addresses, and it works just fine.
    Wish I had a better answer for you...
