Converting digits from display to tactile vibrations

I would like to get a pulse or pulses for the some output.. i.e. i need to convert digital output (i.e. clock display to tactile display (vibrations)) if the clock or any display, displays 345, then i would have three switches on my module, i switch on the first, and it
will vibrate three times, basically there will be three pulses from the square wave, and current will go through the motor three times vibrating it three times. Same as when i put on the second switch, it
would vibrate 4 times, and then the 3rd switch, it would vibrate 5 times. You can also ask your professor for some help please

Sorry about my first post guys, The reason its soo wide, and please disregard the part that states
"professor who I can ask for some help please" i felt lazy and decided to cut and paste this question
earlier.. Anyway.. this is my situation.. I have a school project, and I need some help. It has been a
very long time since i used LabVIEW so I am not very familiar with it. I am trying to work on a program
in labview.. or rather trying to create a program on labview that would allow me to read a digital
display as vibrations. I have a DAQ, and I have labview software. the scenario is.. Suppose I have a
clock, or a podometer, I would like to come up with a program and later on a gadget that could convert
the numbers i see on the display as vibrations. for an example: if the display on my podometer reads
121, then on my gadget i would have 3 buttons, and when i'd press the first button, the unit (gadget)
would vibrate once, and then when i would press the second button, it would vibrate twice at regular
short intervals, and when i press the third button, it would vibrate once again. Now I know i have to
use something like a square wave that would give me pulses, ofcourse i'd attach my unit to a vibrating
motor, and the pulses would act as current going through the motor. Please help. once again, I am sorry
for the first post.

Convert time from digits to words

Hi,
Is there a built-in or freely available actionscript function
that would convert time from digits to words. For example, "9:30"
becomes "half past nine"?
Thanks!

oops, missed the requirement for numbers as words, added that
in:
edit: fixed '1 minutes past' changed to '1 minute past'

Not sure that I have selected the correct forum. Hope my questions are clearly stated.
Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter. TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices). It does not show Mail or Safari menus. System preferences' display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution. I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access. Is there any way to make this work for us? We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web. Do we need Apple TV to do this? Or is it not possible with our old iMac? My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor.
Thank you

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time, you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

Convert digital waveform to array

Hello,
I posted a problem before Christmas regarding data acquisition and accessing the hardware buffer on a 6562 card. I managed to figure out that problem but now I'm stuck when I try manipulating the data I obtain. (The original problem can be seen here: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=70&thread.id=7926)
Briefly, my application is clocking and synchronising an ADC board and then looking at the raw ADC data that comes back from the board. To provide synchronisation I am sending a sync pattern on one data line and using a second line to send a "start of frame" indicator, a '1' bit when I know that the board is synchronised. This line otherwise only sends ‘0’s. This cable is wired back into the NI card and LabView. All data sent uses the NI-SHDIO Generation Express VI and I'm using the Acquisition Express VI in parallel with the Generation VI to capture the raw ADC data when it comes off the ADC board. Since I am acquiring both the ADC data and the frame indication data (which I am looping by connecting that output DIO to an input DIO), the digital waveform essentially contains 2 arrays and I can view these from a graph indicator within LabView.
No problems so far. In order to manipulate the data and look at individual frames I am writing the ADC data to file. To extract the digital data from the digital waveform I am using the following VIs:
-Get Waveform Components
-Get Digital Data Components
-Write to Binary File
To view and manipulate the data I read it into Matlab and this is where I can tell that something's not right. When I read the file into a variable in Matlab, the variable becomes a 1D double array of 40,008 elements. This seems very odd, considering the Acquisition VI only takes 20,000 samples. When I look at the 1D array more closely it looks like the two arrays have been cross added in some fashion. The 1D array certainly doesn't match either of the two arrays visible in the graph indicator inside LabView. I can understand if the file is reading one array after the other (20,000 + 20,000 almost equals 40,008 after all) but that doesn't appear to be the case.
I would greatly appreciate some help on how I can extract the two data lines either using Matlab or LabView. Currently it looks like LabView is making a hash of things whenever I try to manipulate or extract the two arrays from the digital waveform. I have tried a multitude of different VIs and ideas but nothing appears to work.
The most straight forward way would be using the "Converting Digital Waveform to Binary VI" but it can't handle two arrays within the same waveform. (The result looks like the two arrays exclusively OR’d together). To combat this I tried running two Acquisition Express VIs in parallel (one for ADC data, the other for the frame info) but got an error message referring to invalid handles. I presumed this meant that I can't run two acquisition VIs simultaneously, judging from forum posts of users facing the same error message.
Sorry for the long post but I feel that I needed to fully explain the problem. I'm attaching my LabView code.
Thank you for reading,
Christian
PS. GenAcq2.vi is my code. Waveform_GenAcq2_Cfg.hws is sent by the first Generation VI; Waveform_GenAcq2_shorter_frame_indicators.hws by the second Generation VI.

The extra "8" is being caused by the fact that the "Write to Binary File" VI has a "prepend array or string size" input. Its default is true, and in your case you have it unwired, so you get the array size prepended. As for the rest of your issue, what are your Matlab commands to read a file? The following example VI, which generates a digital waveform and saves it to file,
can be correctly read into Matlab using the following commands:
fid = fopen('c:\temp\digData.bin','r');
F=fread(fid, [256,8], 'uchar');

How to convert value from exp. value to double/float???

Hi all,
I am fetching values from database, which is of type double / float.
eg. values will be like -22,777,548 will be stored in database.
NOw if i use
float a= rs.getFloat(1);
out.println("a="+a);
I get output as a= -2.2777548E7
I want to remove "E" from out put value and display as it was given in DB.
How to solve this problem?
Please Help!
Regards
Ashvini

What do you mean - 'how does it work' ? All format classes (MessageFormat, DecimalFormat , SimpleDateFormat etc) are used to convert data from one form to other. Go through the java.text.* api. They work based on some pattern searches, pattern matches etc - dont know in detail :)
As for the other things, thanks :)
cheers,

Two Spaces being converted to from ascii 32,32 to ascii 160,32

Two Spaces being converted to from ascii 32,32 to ascii 160,32 when the page is
loaded by the browser.
This problem is exhibited when viewing an address page in personal data that contains
two spaces in the address field. i.e.. APT102- 102 Elm St.
We put debug traces in to display the ascii character values of the spaces before
and after the record is brought up. This debug showed that the two spaces change
from
Before: space,space or ASCII(32),ASCII(32)
After: ASCII(160) ASCII(32)
This is causing the application to display a record change warning. This occurs
on IE 5.5, 6.0, Netscape 6, but DOES NOT occur using the Opera 6 browser. For
what it's worth, the database is Non-unicode.

Converting byte from dec to hex

Hi All,
I'm having a problem converting byte from decimal to hex - i need the following result:
if entered 127 (dec), the output should be 7f (hex).
The following method fails, of course because of NumberFormatException.
    private byte toHexByte(byte signedByte)
        int unsignedByte = signedByte;
        unsignedByte &= 0xff;
        String hexString = Integer.toHexString(unsignedByte);
        BigInteger bigInteger = new BigInteger(hexString);
        //byte hexByte = Byte.parseByte(hexString);
        return bigInteger.byteValue();
    }

get numberformatexception because a lot of hex digits cannot be transformed into int just like that (ie f is not a digit in decimal) heres some code that i used for a pdp11 assembler IDE... but this is for 16-bit 2s complement in binary/octal/decimal/hex , might be useful for reference as example though
    public static String getBase(short i, int base){
        String res = (i>=0)? Integer.toString((int)i,base)
                : Integer.toString((int)65536+i,base) + " ("+Integer.toString((int)i,base)+")";
       StringBuffer pad= new StringBuffer();
        for(int x = 0; x < 16 - res.length() ; x++){
            pad.append("0");
        res = pad.toString() + res;
        return res;
    }

Converting Webutil from 10g to 6i.

hi,
I'm trying to convert webutil from 10g to 6i. Coz i need to give some facility of FTP.
i'm able to change all the packages. But few packages like JAVA*, are not able to compile. it is giving error, some JNI. How to resolve this?
Regards,
Subir

I will assume your application is deployed in a browser and not client/server in order to form my comments.
Rather than trying to get WebUtil working in 6i, it would probably be simpler to just do what WebUtil does and write your own java bean. You can use the WebUtil code as an example. The important thing to remember is that WebUtil was designed with JDK 1.3.1.x and Forms 6i is based on 1.2 and older therefore you cannot just simply copy the WebUtil code and expect it to compile.

Converting digital 8 to whatever iMovie 11 recognizes for editing

I am interested in converting digital 8 tapes and mini-dv tapes to whatever iMovie 11 needs to allows importing for editing. At first I thought converting to a DVD would do it, then talked to a DVD converting company which suggested itmis far better converting to a flash drive instead. How/where is this done?

Agreeing with Klaus, you can import directly from Digital 8 and minDV to imovie. That is far better than getting it off a DVD.
You will need a Mac with Firewire, and you will need a Firewire Cable.
If you have Firewire 400 (older Macs) you need a 6 pin to 4 pin Firewire cable. If you have Firewire 800 (newer Macs), new need a 9 pin to 4 pin Firewire Cable.
Cables are available for a reasonable price at http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10301

Converting footage from vhs for use in FCP

Got some old VHS tapes that I want to get over to a digital format.
I know someone with the gear to convert VHS to DVD, but what I really want is to get the data in DV format on my Mac/FCP and this guy uses PC.
I have an old VHS player, but no real gear, cables etc.
What is the best option here? I'm fairly well versed in FCP but not so much on the data conversion side.
Thanks

so maybe I'll try that first. They've already been
converted once from 8mm tape to VHS, so I really
don't want to convert them too many more times if I
can help it...<
But the 8mm tapes are gone, yes?
Someday the VHS copies will not longer work. </div>
I know, that is why I am trying to get it off the VHS tapes and into DV (for long term storage) and DVD (for short term storage/playback).
No, the 8mm (not film, but the Sony tape format) are still around, but my dad's old video camera is on it's last legs and he converted them to VHS so I could play them (even though I haven't had a VHS player for years - but I managed to get one though).
In my above statement, just meant that I was looking for the path of least resistance (least amount of conversions) to get the tape into the Digital Age.
Thanks!

HP LD5535 55-inch LED Digital Signage Display set up

Hi, we have a "HP LD5535 55-inch LED Digital Signage Display" at our company which has hundreds of PCs. We want to install the Display monitor on the network.
We already downloaded and installed the display driver and the Utility Tools - "HP Video Over Ethernet" and "HP Network Sign Manager 4" from HP website at [ http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=6917288&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4062 ] .
The utility "HP Video Over Ethernet" could not search it on the network. The PC(IP 10.32.32.30 - Windows 7 professional) and the display are on the same subnet (IP 10.32.32.8) . The PC can ping the monitor.
The utility "HP Network Sign Manager 4" also could now search it, I can manually add it to the utility, and it shows the monitor's model name and the serial number, but it could not associate. Could you please help me to fix it?
Thanks.
Andy

Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard drive and lots of memory and you have none of the above. If you upgraded the RAM to 8 gigs and installed a solid state hard drive you might make the program useable but the real bottleneck is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded.
You do have an open slot to add one 4 gig memory module. This is an easy relatively inexpensive upgrade. See here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7FvZ-JduRM
http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct51264bf160b
I would try this a step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. That would cost maybe $150. Post back if you need more help.

Is it easy to convert films from dvd to ipad?

H, trying to convert films from DVD to watch on my ipad 2, is there an easy way of doing this? any help would be great, Thanks.

Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected video DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries), so we're not allowed to discuss it here. Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on portable devices. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature.
If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer and you can then sync it to your iPad.
Regards.

Significant digits from Property Loader

Hello guys,
I'd like to know if anyone already faced that issue, if I load a certain limit from property loader, for example Minimum "10.0", and the VI returns a measure of 9,999472894, the test should pass.
Is there some easy way to detect the significant digits from the property loader, and automatically apply that rounding to the measured values? Actually it would become heavy to program it test by test.
Perhaps in my .xls property fils I could put an integer for each limit that represents the number of significant digits...
Any better idea?

Correct, TestStand does not base the signficant digits of the comparison off of the significant digits of the given limits, instead it assumes you want a comparison done within the full precision of a double-precision floating point number.
To fix existing limits, you could write a converter that converts limits like 10.0 to 9.999 since it is a mechanical process that could be done programmatically. Not sure why you would have to hard code limits to fix this problem. Is it not possible to change the limits in the property loader source to 9.999 or that is not an option? If that's not an option, another idea is that we ship the source code to the property loader, you could modify it to convert limits to their precision range values, for example, if a limit of 10.0 is loaded as a lower limit, it could automatically convert it to 9.999 before setting the limit value in the teststand step. That way you wouldn't have to change any sequence files, just the property loader itself.
Not to say it wouldn't be useful to add a new feature to TestStand to match the precison of the comparison to the precision specified by the limit (or perhaps in a separate setting on the step), but that is not a common request. You could post such an idea to the idea exchange though and see what people think.

Prevent null values from displaying in answers OBIEE 11g

Is there any possibilities in OBIEE to Prevent null values from displaying in answers
For example, If i have two records in table
TV         cost=NULL(having agg rule sum in BMM layer)
RADIO   cost=10(having agg rule sum in BMM layer)
in answers i get two records
TV       NULL
RADIO 10
but i want to get one, only with not null cost

Just want to clarify your question,You want to eliminate the NULL values from the report am i right? If that is the case then put the filter COST <> NULL.
Do let me know the updates?
Thanks,
