What mean 3' long for someone how nows only metric? 3 foot (bigfoots?) 3inch ??
VFDs come in two tastes, some with some without output filter.... Have you tried another one, maybe the filter doesn't work ?
My guess about the grounding cable was just because people are laisy. If you put in and out the VFD, why not only change the cabling for the three phases and keep the ground where it was ?!..   I'm pretty shure that there is a big nice grounding screw right beside the VFD output, and it makes sense to use it
How is the reading if you (can) place (hold) the sensor near the VFD driven motor without contact to the rigg?  
According the sensor: 90-95% grounding problems ... BUT just an idea: If the sensor acts with metal objects, then by a change in the electric or magnetic field (field weakening by eddy currents...)  the sensor produce. What if the one of the switching frequences of this VFD correlates with the frequence of the sensor?    Just like some TVs goes mad if your new poversaving electronic lamp hits the IR main frequence

  • The email for my apple id is from old job and i need to switch it to my personal email but there is already an old account under my personal email address

    The email for my apple id is from old job and i need to switch it to my personal email but there is already an old account under my personal email address.  How do I delete the account using my personal email so that I can use it for my current account?

    You can't delete an account, you will need to replace the email address on the old account first e.g.  by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on it on iOS device and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http:// appleid.apple.com

  • Book printing - Unique Workflows? - Cross-Posted from Aperture forum

    (Cross-posted. I think this post might be of interest to iPhoto users as well)
    I am exploring the book printing features in Aperture. My goal was to build the book in Aperture and get this into iPhoto so that I could use MyPublisher to print the book. MyPublisher currently has a 50% off coupon for orders over $50. iPhoto needs their plugin to upload to MyPublisher instead of Apple when the BuyBook button is chosen. (code is MAC2550 - good though Dec 31). The design features in Aperture are rudimentary at best. It's simple to customize the design for photo placement, adding and deleting photos, resizing, etc. The type design features are not simple to customize, though. However, with patience a suitable design can be made. You can add and delete text boxes at will but these will always default to the template's built in style. I continually had to reformat the type by right clicking on the selected text and applying my preferred style. One trick when cutting and pasting text is to place the cursor one letter in from the beginning of a preformatted line, select the remaining text and paste - this will pick up the current style rather than default to the template default. Then delete the leftover first character of the line. From Aperture I printed the book to PDF, being sure to choose letter size and borderless paper option. Once book is printed to PDF I opened in Acrobat and "saved as" to PNG. In the PNG options I chose 600ppi (the default of 300ppi might have been just fine for quality, not sure). Saving to PNG creates an individual file for each page. In testing Apple's Preview software for this I found it would make a nice PNG - but of just one page at a time. I then imported all PNG pages into iPhoto. Within iPhoto create a book. I used "Modern Lines" with double sided pages. To create the cover (it's actually a label that is adhered to the linen hard cover book) I had to import the actual cover photo used in Aperture to recreate a new design based on the "Modern Lines" template. I then recreated my pages using the template. The key step being to assign the single photo page design for each page. For each page I dropped in the corresponding PNG file which included all type and images created previously in Aperture. One minor point when adjusting the placed PNG images in the iPhoto template is the option to fit photo to frame size (an option when right clicking on the photo). When fit photo is selected the image gets resized very slightly. I opted not to use this feature as I thought the resizing might compromise quality. I then clicked on the "buy book" button and the file was assembled and sent to MyPublisher. Since I had the 50% coupon I opted for the leather bound book option and ordered two 24 page books for $53.74 which included $9.98 standard FedEx fee. As for quality I'll have to wait and see. I'll post back once books are in hand.

    It is important to realize there are two aspects to an index.
    1) Topics
    2) Page References
    Topics have no relation to the text of the actual document. Topics can
    be imported from one InDesign document to another. Also, creating topics
    from a list of text is trivial. Just type all the words (or place them
    from a text document or Word doc) and then press Ctrl+A to select all of
    them and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+[, then delete the text.
    Page references, however are not as simple. These have to be created at
    each place in the text where you want the page to be referenced it the
    index. This *can* in fact be done Word if you are using the text from
    the Word document.
    What you really have to watch out for is that when you want to create a
    page reference you have the "Reference" radio button selected in the
    index panel. Otherwise you will just be creating a topic. It is best to
    work with hidden characters turned on so you can see and make sure
    InDesign created an index marker in the text after you created your page
    reference.

  • Cross posted from Bios - MSI 7800GTX SLI BIOS REVISIONS

    > I've pasted my post from bios to here, as no one took any interest.
    Howdie peoples, after checking out the bios revisions on my SLI cards I have found they have different bios revisions. Would this play any part in bad performance?.
    Card one :
    05/18/05
    05.70.02.11.10
    (Purchased this one Sept 05)
    Card two:
    05/12/05
    05.70.02.11.01
    (This was purchased Jan 06! and later bought from eBay).
    Any input would be great.  biggthumbsup
    Thanks
    ps Anyone know where I can get the MSI 7800GTX 512 rear venting fan/heatsink assemblies? (they take up two card slots)

    I thought the part number is already on the sticker of the GPU. Gd luck.

  • SQL firewall rule to restrict traffic from only one Azure PaaS website (cross-post from websites)

    (This has also been posted on the websites forum)
    Hi,
    I have been asked to configure the firewall on the SQL PaaS instance to only allow traffic from a specified PaaS website that is within the same subscription. I can't see any way to set a static internal IP for the website, is there a way to identify it
    for the purpose of the SQL Database firewall rule?
    Thanks,
    Karina

    You're right, KG! Sorry.
    This article mentions a reserved-IP:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn690120.aspx
    It specifically mentions your scenario:
    You want to ensure that outbound traffic from Azure uses a predictable IP address. You may have your firewall configured to allow only traffic from specific IP addresses. By reserving a VIP, you will know the source IP address and won’t
    have to update your firewall rules due to a VIP change. This is especially helpful if you want to configure your firewall before you create your cloud service.
    The only thing I'm not confident on would be if it works with Azure Websites - it does mention cloud services, though. If you have further questions, I can give a shot myself and see if I can get a working example.

    thanks a lot!

    If you mean that you redeemed your gift card to the wrong iTunes Store account, then there's nothing you can do. There is no way to transfer a credit balance from one iTunes Store account to another.
    If that's not what you meant, please post back and explain further.

  • Artifacts in QuickTime 6 (cross post from OS9)

    I often play (and encode) videos in QuickTime in OS9, and they have artifacts on playback, i.e. little colored squares that appear randomly and fade away after a few seconds. It appears to be a playback problem only, i.e. the artifacts are not actually encoded in the video--if you replay the same clip, you get different artifacts! For a long time, i assumed it was my video memory going or something, but i just installed OS9 on another Mac (G4/AGP) and... same thing!
    Is this a known problem with QT? Or is it an OS9 problem?
    The artifacts appear on video encoded using the Apple MPEG4 codec, the DivX5 codec, or the 3ivx codec. However, they DO NOT appear when the video was encoded using the Sorenson MPEG-4 codec for OS9. Someone else (everyone else?) must have experienced this.....

    Are you saying that even if the video was encoded properly, QT can generate artifacts on playback if the processor isn't quite fast enough? Shouldn't it drop frames (i.e. stutter) instead..?
    Yes, to an extent. This normally only happens in the case where the data rate is unreasonably higher that necessary and that can be handled by the platform involved (i.e., not simply slightly higher) which I don't really consider a case of being "encoded properly" as you put it. In this case, what you normally see is a series of frame freezes being displayed which may or may not contain block pixelations due to incomplete decoding of sub-matrix blocks (i.e., frame decoding is exited/halted before the frame being processed could be completely decoded. In this case entire segments of the movie containing dozens to hundreds of frames are being dropped/skipped between the display "freezes." This is an extreme case which is very much less common than excessively low data rates and/or using excessive keyframe intervals which produce pixelation artifacts that either fade when the next keyframe is generated or fades as the predictor-corrector algorithm oscillates back above the critical minimum data rate allocation. As to the specific differences between Sorenson and QT encoding implementations, I have always asumed the former was targeted more for low data rate use while the latter was targeted more for quality consistency over a wider scalability range. However, I may be wrong here and since you have provided no specific information as to what settings were used, how you define a "proper encode" and have not provided specific example clips for analysis, about all we can really do at this point is guess at the cause of your issue.
    I'll try it on my somewhat faster 1GHz G4 and see if that plays okay, but i still can't believe a 500 MHz G4 (the one generating the artifacts) could be too slow to play a 320x240 MPEG-4 video properly.
    I might agree with you if I knew more about how you encoded the content and the settings used. Most of the problems I am discussing are more common with MPEG-4 Part 10 encodes which is 2 to 2.5 times as efficient as MPEG-4 Part 2 but more CPU intensive. Basically this means the QT version of MPEG-4 Part 2 requires 2 to 2.5 times the data rate of a QT MPEG-4 Part 10 file to achieve the same level of quality but can process the content with the same or less effort. Have you tried comparing the same content encoded differently in a frame by frame comparison using the same player app?

  • Computer on the fritz - cross posted from Finder category

    I don't even know if this is the right category for this topic, but I guess it's close enough.
    Here's the problem. At seemingly random times of the day, for unknown reasons, my computer stop communicating properly with my keyboard. Or maybe the other way around, or possibly something else all together. What I first notice is that in Firefox (because I'm one of those people who's online all day), when I go to open a new tab, I can't type in the URL bar. It's highlighted, I've got the typing cursor and everything, but when I try to type in the URL bar, I get that "doop" noise the computer makes when you're trying to do something you can't do.
    The first time, I tried quitting out of Firefox and starting it again, but that didn't work. For one, Firefox went into safe mode without warning. The computer wouldn't let me hide the program with command+H, I had to use the mouse and right click. Then I noticed it did this with other programs too. So I decided to restart my computer.
    Upon restart everything seemed normal. Then, just ten minutes ago, it happened again. Except this time, when I clicked on the program icons in the dock, a Finder window of my Applications folder popped up showing that program highlighted. When I went into iTunes to search for a song, pressing just H hid the program and then opened a picture that was sitting on my desktop as I typed the rest of the search word. So I restarted again and we seem to be back to normal.
    Dear Apple community, what in the world is wrong with my computer?!

    Except this time, when I clicked on the program icons in the dock, a Finder window of my Applications folder popped up showing that program highlighted.
    This can be done with a control click on a Dock Icon, and then select Show in Finder (try it to see).
    If this is happening on its own, then maybe the keyboard is defective, an in a 'loose' control key.
    If you had another keyboard handy it would be great to substitute it in order to see if the original one is flaky. Though I don't expect you to have a spare KB but if you could borrow one, would be nice.

  • No BEEP sound :( Cross-posted from Package Configuration...

  • Cross posting: Screen Flicker/Throbbing at low brightness

    I'm cross-posting from "The MacBook Pro Display" forum topic:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=376277&tstart=0
    I got my MBP today and soon noticed that at low levels of brightness (levels one to three), the brightness of the screen flickers/throbs. To be clear: there is no interruption to the actual screen image, only the overall brightness of the screen.
    It also happens when the screen dims after inactivity. It seems like the backlight is flickering sporadically about 2 to 5 times per second. Its especially noticable in my peripheral vision when I'm looking at my external LCD display alongside it. It is beyond a nuisance - if I stare at it for too long, I begin to feel physically uncomfortable!
    I've found that it doesn't happen straight away, it takes a few minutes from having booted up for the effect to begin. Has anybody else noticed this problem?
    MBP 2.16Ghz    

    I, too, was having flicker issues on my MacBook Pro. I'm pretty sensitive to flicker -- annoyingly so -- and was noticing it at full brightness as well, especially if the background was bright. Having not seen the posts here, it took awhile to track down, but turning off the aforementioned "automatically adjust screen brightness" nailed it. The ambient light was constant but I think my hands were partially shadowing the sensor. Problem solved and I no longer feel sick using the machine (generally considered a good thing).

  • Need to know how to remove ALL previous Outlook settings in Registry and file locations (cross posted)

    Problem: I cannot get a newly installed Outlook 2013 to connect to the [online Office 365] server with old [non-domain] logon profile. That is my issue, and what I'd like to fix. (There's some services and settings on the old profile
    that cannot be easily duplicated. Also, I'm just enough annoyed by this to ask for suggestions.)
    Background: I upgraded an existing Office 2007 install of several years back to Office 2013 on an continuously used [non-domain] user profile (I needed connections to several Exchange accounts at various domains I remotely admin
    and was tired of logging on through OWA, so it was time to upgrade). Up to Sunday last, I have never had issues with Outlook and Office 365 connections to that account; upgrading Office 2013 "killed" my outlook.office365.com connection to emails.
    Testing: I created a new [non-domain] logon profile, and Outlook 2013 connects to my outlook.office365.com account just fine with the new logon profile. To repeat:
    there were NO connectivity issues in connecting to my Office 365 account in the
    new [test] logon profile with Outlook 2013, and using Outlook 2013 on the new [non-domain] profile.
    The problem is profile specific, to an older existing profile (I'd like to use).
    Just FYI: my [vanity] domain tests just fine with the Exchange 365 online tools. Office 365 works. OWA works. Outlook 2013 works (in the new logon profile). Mobile devices work.
    There are no major problems with the domain name in MXToolbox, or Microsoft Remote Connectivity Tester. Both Windows and Office are fully patched on my workstation. There's no malware.
    The problem is something in my older logon profile. Something somewhere locally to that logon and/or Outlook-specific profile is keeping it from logging into the [Office 365] mail server. I just get the typical "cannot connect to
    the server" error.
    What's Needed: So what I need is a link to a webpage (or pages) that details ALL [existing] Outlook/Exchange settings that are profile specific ...so I can
    manually remove them from the Registry, from the drive, etc.
    ...something on the order of "...remove all profiles under
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem" and "...delete all files in
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook" (neither of which fixed the issue, whatever the real issue may be ...but that's all I found so far that seemed pertinent). Anyways, "stuff"
    like that.
    Alternatively, if someone knows what Registry keys, other settings, etc., I can export/import from the test logon profile to my "real" logon profile(s), that would be worth a shot, and greatly appreciated.
    Or maybe just some google search suggestions that might find the above links (listing error message contents hasn't been useful: too many hits).
    Me: I'm a sys admin with over 30 years experience. I'm not looking for suggestions on how to set up an Exchange account, or an Office 365 account, or to setup a new mail profile or logon profile (or to remove either of those), or to add
    a new email account (manually or with auto-discover), or to remove an old account. None of that applies and/or has worked in this case.
    Thanks in advance for your interest. I really need a knowledgeable wizard, since I'm looking for a solution to a complex issue. My own googling and troubleshooting has just turned up the usual noob' stuff. At this point, I'm at a loss. The well is dry.
    Update:
    This question is cross-posted from the general "answers" forum (at the suggestion of a moderator).
    Update: I also came across
    this page of "advanced" Outlook settings (and it hasn't helped so far, either).

    I too, for over 30 days have been trying to find an answer as my situation is as similar as it gets.  I too have tried all and everything as you have.
    How I wish there would have been an answer to your question.  It would have answered mine as well.
    Seems typical to microsoft "help" unless it is the usual noob response and/or "more clarification" (I with no tech degree understood exactly what you refer to) the only response is well, just no response......

  • Help please.connected my current iphone to i tunes it syncd old contacts from previous job to new phone and deleted all my new ones,

    Help please.
    Connected my current iphone to i tunes. it syncd old contacts from previous job and previous phone to new phone and deleted all my new ones. tried to do back up from earlier restore in i tunes but there only seem to be back ups from my old phone not the new one prior to its first sync...

    thanks for your reply and input but, Im not sure if it was former or latter that I did, however I do know that I named this latest i phone differently and would have been OK with and expected expected old contacts to be added to the new ones I have recently added directly onto the new phone since I have had it rather than just the old one. I did try the undue/ unsync  but this just seemed to remove all the old backed up ones just added leaving contacts empty? Clearly its my error, but what can be done to restore setting back to time before I connected today?  earlier reset points on itunes show as 2 years ago and relate to old phone. 

  • [LAVA Cross Post] CTRL+SHIFT+ Shortcuts sometimes not working in LabVIEW

    Cross-post from LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/15619-ctrlshift-shortcuts-sometimes-not-working-in-labview/
    See the above post for more information - here's a synopsis:
    CTRL+SHIFT modifiers are not working while running LabVIEW in a Parallels 7 virtual machine. This problem affects both LV2011 and LV2012. I'm not certain that this is a LabVIEW bug - could be an issue with my virtual machine environment or it's configuration - except that CTRL+SHIFT modifiers work in other applications on the affected VMs. It's just LabVIEW that appears to ignore shortcuts with the CTRL+SHIFT modifiers.
    Any ideas?

  • [LAVA Cross Post] CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha Shortcuts don't work in LabVIEW

    Cross-post from LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/15619-ctrlshift-shortcuts-sometimes-not-working-in-labview/
    Bug Synopsis: CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts do not work in LabVIEW. Most notably, CTRL+SHIFT+Z, CTRL+SHIFT+E, and CTRL+SHIFT+S
    Test setup: LV2012 32bit with f1 patch running in Win7 64bit inside a Parallels 8 VM in OS X 10.8.1
    To summarize the testing I have tried:
    Many different LabVIEW, Guest OS, and Host OS combinations all fail, including:
    LV2012f1 32 and 64 bit, and LV2009 32 bit
    Win7 32 and 64bit, and also WinXP x64
    Parallels 7 and Parallels 8
    OS X 10.7 and 10.8
    Capturing the keyboard by the VM
    Twiddling every keyboard setting possible on Parallels, Guest, and Host
    Reinstalling keyboard drivers
    Plugging in a known-good keyboard that works on a native Windows machine
    Deleting LabVIEW.ini and letting it regenerate
    Remapping the shortcuts from, e.g., CTRL+SHIFT+E to CTRL+E - in this case, "Show in Project" works, so this might indicate it's a problem registering the shortcut press, not invoking the action itself.
    Sending the keystrokes via on-screen keyboards from both Guest and Host
    Sending the keystrokes via SendInput from user32.dll WinAPI
    Testing every imaginable combo of FN, CONTROL, ALT/OPTION, COMMAND/CMD, SHIFT
    Reinstalling VMs from scratch and reinstalling LV
    Here's a kicker: CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts work fine on other Windows programs (I've tried 4 different programs, including Chrome, Notepad++, Paint.NET), yet it does NOT work for VIPM with CTRL+SHIFT+C. This means that the only two programs where the CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha bugs exist are both LabVIEW-related.
    Here's another kicker: It's only CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts with the prob - CTRL+SHIFT+3 properly toggles grid alignment, and the "Tools >> Options >> Menu shortcuts" will register any CTRL+SHIFT+Non-alpha shortcut; it just does not respond to the CTRL+SHIFT+Alpha shortcuts.
    Any new troubleshooting ideas are highly appreciated; please feel free to jump in here or on LAVA.

  • Http post from an application with file attachment

    Hi ! I didn't know where else to post this message...
    I'm trying to make a HTTP POST from an application and upload a file with it. I have no problems with the posting, just that I haven't got any ideas how to get the file uploaded as well. I've been reading loads of examples regarding the topic, and searching older posts the forum here, without any help.
    Here's the method i'm using:

    printout.writeBytes (URLEncoder.encode(content));
    printout.flush ();
    printout.close ();Actually, what this does is create a request like:
    GET /path/to/file/script.language?upfile=/home/user/file.ext&other=params HTTP/1.1
    Content-Type: multipart/form-data
    -- And other HTTP params --
    The file is not actually appended to the request.
    I really don't know how Java handles the file upload, but you could do it by hand, like so:
    public static void doFileUpload(String url, String filename, Hashtable params) throws IOException {
        // Construct the request
        String boundary = "----------------------mUlTiPaRtBoUnDaRy";
        String request_head = "POST " + url + " HTTP/1.0\r\n" +
                                         "Content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary + "\r\n";
        String request_body = boundary + "\r\n\r\nContent-disposition: form-data; name=\"upload\"" +
                                         "\r\n\r\n";
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(filename)));
        int b = -1;
        while((b = in.read()) != -1) {
             request_body += (char)b;
        in.close();
        Enumeration keys = params.keys();
        while(keys.hasMoreElements()) {
            String key = keys.nextElement();
            requst_body += "\r\n" + boundary + "\r\n\r\nContent-type: form-data; name=\"key\"\r\n" +
                                    (String)params.get(key);
        request_body += "\r\n" + boundary + "--\r\n";
        int length = request_head.length() + request_body.length() + "Content-length: \r\n";
        String req_length = "Content-length: " + (length + new String("" + length).length()) + "\r\n";
        Socket socket = new Socket(url,80);
        PrintStream stream = socket.getOutputStream();
        stream.print(request_head + req_length + req_body);
        // And now an option to read the response, I will omit that...   
    }Note: I have not tested this code, just wrote it up out of memory. If it does not work, it will propably need some small fixes.
