Creating and using variables in LabView

Hello. Apologies in advance for what probably is a trivial task, but I'm having problems grasping the concept of variables in the LabView environment.
I'm using Motion to track the steps that a motor has traversed. I have an inkjet that I want to apply a quick burst only once for a pixel (which I defined the size). The problem is that the motor has to travel at such a slow speed that the inkjet is over the pixel for a while. With my current code, it will keep firing while over the pixel. So I want to store the last pixel number that the printer fired on so I can perform a compare to ensure that the inkjet will only fire once the current pixel is greater than the last-fired pixel.
In a regular text-based coding environment, it's as easy as assigning a variable to store the pixel that the inkjet fired on, then constantly compare the current pixel location to that variable to know if it's still over the same pixel. I'm a bit of a loss trying to accomplish the same task using the graphical coding of LabView.
How do I extract this value and store it for later comparison?
Thank you and sorry again for a dumb question.

I assume that you are doing this firing of inkjet at a particular pixel, using a loop ( more appropriately, while loop)
One way to achieve this would be to use shift registers and case structure
Insert a shift register for that loop
initialize a pixel value (numeric) to that shift register
On every iteration, perform comparison for 'greater than' with current pixel value/position  to value/position stored in shift register
If the result of this comparison is true, use a case structur. In true case of case structure , fire your inkjet at that particular pixel and update your shift register to replace and store the current value
If the result of comparison was false, do not perform any operation, just pass the shift register through false case without any modification
A labVIEW code built on these lines would work fine for your application
Showing a code snippet would have been a simpler and effective  way to explain this. but currently no LabVIEW installed on my system

    Hi,
    We can use Azure File services to do this, for more information, please have a look at this article:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2014/05/12/introducing-microsoft-azure-file-service.aspx. The Azure File service exposes file shares using the standard SMB 2.1 protocol. Applications running in Azure can now easily share files between
    VMs using standard and familiar file system APIs like ReadFile and WriteFile.

  • Can I create and use more than one repository on OVM 2.1.5

    The version of Oracle VM I am using is 2.1.5 .
    I wonder can I create and use more than one repository on OVM 2.1.5. Because I want to install different GOS on different disks.
    I know in Oracle VM 2.2 we can use following commands to realize that.
    a. #/opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py –n /dev/mapper/mpathxp1
    b. #/opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py –r UUID
    c. #/opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py –i
    And other repositories can also be mounted and found under /var/ovs/mount/UUID.
    But in Oracle VM 2.1.5, seems just one repository can be created and mounted. For example:
    At first, I create a repository using mpath1p1:
    a. # mkfs.ocfs2 /dev/mapper/mpath1p1
    b. #/usr/lib/ovs/ovs-makerepo /dev/mapper/mpath1p1 C "cluster root"
    c. I can find the repository has been mounted under /OVS.
    But if I want to use "/usr/lib/ovs/ovs-makerepo /dev/mapper/mpath2p1 C "cluster root" to create another repository, and check the mount status using command "mount", these two disks are all have been mounted under /OVS.
    "# cat /etc/ovs/repositories", only mpath1p1 with UUID was recorded there.
    After reboot, only repository with mpath1p1 was mounted under OVS.
    Can anyone tell me how to use more than one repositories on OVM 2.1.5. Do I have to install all the GOSs on the same disk and repository.
    Thank you very much.

    Now I've known how to create different repository. They will be mounted under /OVS/UUID. Thanks.

  • Re: How do you create and use "common" type classes?

    Hi,
    You have 2 potential solutions in your case :
    1- Sub-class TextNullable class of Framework and add your methods in the
    sub-class.
    This is the way Domain class work. Only Nullable classes are sub-classable.
    This is usefull for Data Dictionary.
    The code will be located in any partition that uses or references the supplier
    plan.
    2- Put your add on code on a specific class and instanciate it in your user
    classes (client or server).
    You could also use interface for a better conception if needed. The code will
    also be in any partition that uses or references the supplier plan where your
    add on class is located.
    If you don't want that code to be on each partition, you could use libraries :
    configure as library the utility plan where is your add-on class.
    You can find an example of the second case (using a QuickSort class,
    GenericArray add-on) with the "QuickSort & List" sample on my personal site

    Hi Richard,
    Your question about "utility classes" brings up a number of issues, all of
    which are important to long-term success with Forte.
    There is no such thing as a static method (method that is associated with a
    class but without an implicit object reference - this/self/me "pointer") in
    TOOL, nor is there such thing as a global method (method not associated
    with a class at all). This is in contrast to C++, which has both, and
    Java, which has static methods, but not global classes. Frequently, Forte
    developers will write code like this:
    result, num : double;
    // get initial value for num....
    tmpDoubleData : DoubleData = new;
    tmpDoubleData.DoubleValue = num;
    result = tmpDoubleData.Sqrt().DoubleValue;
    tmpDoubleData = NIL; // send a hint to the garbage collector
    in places where a C++ programmer would write:
    double result, num;
    // get initial value for num....
    result = Math::Sqrt(num);
    or a Java programmer would write:
    double result, num;
    // get initial value for num....
    result = Math.sqrt(num);
    The result of this is that you end up allocating an extra object now and
    then. In practice, this is not a big deal memory-wise. If you have a
    server that is getting a lot of hits, or if you are doing some intense
    processing, then you could pre-allocate and reuse the data object. Note
    that optimization has its own issues, so you should start by allocating
    only when you need the object.
    If you are looking for a StringUtil class, then you will want to use an
    instance of TextData or TextNullable. If you are looking to add methods,
    you could subclass from TextNullable, and add methods. Note that you will
    still have to instantiate an object and call methods on that object.
    The next issue you raise is where the object resides. As long as you do
    not have an anchored object, you will always have a copy of an object on a
    partition. If you do not pass the object in a call to another partition,
    the object never leaves. If you pass the object to another partition, then
    the other partition will have its own copy of the object. This means that
    the client and the server will have their own copies, which is the effect
    you are looking for.
    Some developers new to Forte will try to get around the lack of global
    methods in TOOL by creating a user-visible service object and then calling
    methods on it. If you have a general utility, like string handling, this
    is a bad idea, since a service object can reside only on a single
    partition.
    Summary:
    * You may find everything you want in TextData.
    * Unless you anchor the object, the instance will reside where you
    intuitively expect it.
    * To patch over the lack of static methods in TOOL, simply allocate an
    instance when required.
    Feel free to email me if you have more questions on this.

  • One structure is created and using in 3 queries, i want to modify that stru

    hi gurus,
    one structure is created and using in 3 queries, i want to modify that structure in only one query but it will not effect other two.wat should i do for that?
    thanx in advace,
    i will assign points,
    srinivas.

    Hi srinivas,
       This scenario could be frequently seen in a project. I assume the structure you mentioned is saved as a global structure, then in the query which you want to modify, right click on the structure and choose "Remove Reference". This function copies the global structure to a local one, in which you can change it and the other two won't get affected.
       Hope this helps.

  • SQL08 Need example of creating AND using a Fact (degenerate) dimension

    Can someone post a link to some examples of setting up and using a Fact (degenerate) dimension.  Ive got the SSAS 2008R2 Adventureworks DW project setup and I see a few Fact dimensions in there, but id like some descriptions to go along with this or
    something similar.
    My scenario:
    Orders - attributes include :  Order#, OrderStartDate, SalesPerson, BusinessType, MarketType
    OrderTransactions - attributes include:  OrderKey , TransactionAmount, TransactionType, TransactionDate, AccountKey
    Description:
    Its more or less the typical Order > Order Detail type scenario, with the addition of Orders have some additional attributes.
    So I want to be able to measure on for example:
    Order counts - broken down by BusinessType and MarketType , and then within a date range
    Revenue - which will be totals of transaction amounts, again grouped by BusinessType and MarketType, but also be able to drill down to see the related Order#

    Hi Shiftbit,
    According to your description, you need some examples about create and use degenerate dimensions, right?
    Degenerate dimensions, also called fact dimensions, are standard dimensions that are constructed from attribute columns in fact tables instead of from attribute columns in dimension tables. Here is document that describes how to create and use degenerate
    dimensions step by step, please refer to the links below.

  • How do I create and use a watermark in aperture?

    Hello there!
    How to I create and use a watermark in aperture? do I need to download a 3rd party plugin? Any recommendations?
    Thank you!

    Aperture does not support the creation of watermarks; if you want a watermark image with transparent regions you need an application that can handle alpha channels - Prewiew, Photoshop, Pixelmator, Gimp, just to name a few.
    But once you have a watermark image, you can add it to an image, when you export from Aperture. Add the watermark to one of the Export Presets. You will need to create your watermark in different sizes, so you can add it to each of the export pixel sizes for your images, that you are using.
    Another possibility would be using the BorderFX plugin. This versatile plug-in also supports to add graphic overlays to your images, either when exporting or as an Edit plug-in.  http://www.iborderfx.com/BorderFX

    Hi Andrew,
    you can create collection types (varray/table) in two ways:
    1) in browser - find "Data Types">"Collection types" node use pop-up menu - it's just "create new collection type" there
    2) in Data types model diagram - you can create collection of "certain structured type" or collection of references to it - use "new Collection ..." tool and first click on referred structured type and after that on structured type that will hold the collection - new attribute is added in latter type and if there is no such collection type already defined new collection type is created and you can edit it later.
