Design of a pH calibrator in lookout

How do I update the value contained in a cell in a datatable when a pushbutton is pushed? I am trying to design a pH calibration system - any insight into this would be a big help - thanks - Brian Oliver

Hi,
Let's say you want to update the datatable cell Table1.A1 with the value from Pot1 (can be any source) when Pushbutton Pb1 is pushed.
Make the following connection using Edit connections for the Table1.A1 datamember to achieve this:
Table1.A1 = if(Pb1, Pot1, Table1.A1)
This should be pretty clear; for the false condition, we write back the value from the cell to the cell when Pb1 goes false (thus not resetting the value).
Please give more info' on what kind of pH calibration system you're trying to build. May be someone here may have ideas you can use.
Good luck!

Can I retrieve data from a multiple select query?

I recently have been able to consolidate many queries into one large one, or into large compound queries. I found an instance where I am using a select query in a for loop that may execute up to 400 times. I tried building a huge compound query, and using DB Tools Execute Query vi, followed by the DB Tools Fetch Recordset Data vi. The query executes at the database without an error, but the Fetch Recordset Data vi only returns the first instance. Is there a way to retrieve all the data without having to send up to 400 separate select queries?

Sorry I didn't replt earlier, I was on vacation. The query I am using is to check serial numbers, and determine if they are all valid. The programs purpose is to define a serial number to a pre-existing part number. Our company makes inclinometers and accelerometers, and this entire series of LabVIEW programs is designed to automate the calibration and testing of these units. The part number definitions can contain 3 or 4 hundred parameters, so the database itself consistes of 44 tables with potentially several hundred columns per table. It is designed to not only provide definitions to every part number, but also to store all potential raw unit data to be calculated and formed into a report at any time. The logistics of getting that much data in and out of the database have forced me to do things more effeciently. The actual query in question is to take each serial number either manually entered, or automatically picked, and see if they already exist with the part number they are being defined as. If there are any duplicates, then the program will alert the operator that serial numbers x, y, and z for instance have already been asigned as the part number in question. Currently I run a simple query once for each serial number. This works, but there may be 200 serial numbers assigned. Also the serial numbers can contain upper or lower case letters. By making all the serial number letters into capitals, then into lower case, it could mean up to 400 individual queries going out over the LAN. This is a bandwidth hog, and time consuming. I started experimenting with compound queries. The actual query used is below.
SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000005';SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000006';SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000007';SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000008';SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000009'
When I execute this query, SQL Server 2000 has no problem with it, but the DB Tools Fetch Recordset Data vi only returns the first match. I think my answer may lie with OR statements. Rather than sending what amounts to potentially dozens of individual queries, I should be able to chain them into one query with a lot of OR statements. As long as the OR statement is not an exclusive OR statement, I think it should work. I haven't tried it yet, and it may take some time to get the syntax right. The query is built in a for loop with the number of iterations equal to the number of serial numbers being defined. Once I get this working I will alter it to include both upper and lower case letters that can be included in the query. Any suggestiona of how the query should be structured would be most helpful, or another way to achieve what I am trying to accomplish.

How do you calibrate the monitor??

for graphic design, the monitor's calibration is way off. but i can't figure out how to calibrate it!@#$%

Hi,
Please try:

Images off colour and overexposed when printing

Hi folks I'm new to the site. I have been using adobe software for a good few years at this point, and i have been trying to solve a problem with my friends Photoshop and illustrator. every time she prints out work, its all off colour and over exposed like the colour preferences are messed up.
When printing a word doc or regular jpg images there is no problem. It only happens when trying to print in Photoshop or illustrator.
I would really like some help
Thanks

What are her color-management settings and practices?
Is she set up to use appropriate color-profiles while designing/editing, using a calibrated/profiled monitor to display the designs or photos in accurate color, and using appropriate settings and profiles for print color-management?
Do the prints come out to match what's displayed if the image is sent to a service - or you print them on your setup?
Does what is displayed in Photoshop match what is displayed in the other apps being printed from?
Has it once worked, and now it doesn't - or is this a new setup?
This is a case where the specifics matter - very much. Color-management settings and practices cannot usually be "guessed" into working. And to make matters worse for those struggling to understand, there is the possibility that there are bugs in printer drivers, bad monitor profiles, etc.
Unfortunately, it's near impossible to teach proper color-management concepts, so that the user can make all the appropriate choices, on a forum.

Images look too light on new monitor

Hi,
I hope you can help me. I've been working in CS5.5 on two Dell desktops, using two Dell Ultrasharp monitors. The color was consistent on both. I created files on the newest of the two computers, viewing them on the Ultrasharp 2311 monitor. The files were used to produce both printed and digital books, and everything looked good. Note - I'm not a graphic designer. I never calibrated the monitors or made any adjustments to the settings, either in the system display or in PS.
I just retired the oldest computer and bought a new Dell computer, along with the Ultrasharp 2711 monitor, which has excellent reviews. The files that look fine on my two-year old computer/monitor are too washed out on the new monitor. Dell couldn't figure out the problem and sent me a new monitor, which didn't change anything. The technician at Adobe could see the problem and we played with the settings, but couldn't fix it. If I go to Proof Setup/Monitor RGB it gets closer, but it's still too light. I never made this adjustment on the older monitor.
I KNOW the files produced on the older monitor work, because I've seen the finished printed and digital books. Manipulating the file on the new system isn't the answer. There must be some setting that needs to be adjusted, but neither Dell nor Adobe can help me.
By the way, my older monitor looks fine connected to the new computer, so it's not a computer issue.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks so much,
Chris

Thanks Peter & Sid. I appreciate the advice, but it doesn't match our experience over 12 years of designing web applications so I'm having trouble understanding what's different, can I ask for any more advice you might have?
If we calibrate the monitor using the recommended tools, will Photoshop images look 2-3 f-stops brighter (i.e. as they should look) and will images in all other apps (which look fine now, have always looked fine) look 2-3 f-stops too bright? Or would we be changing JUST the way Photoshop sees the images?
Through probably a dozen different previous CRT and LCD monitors, we've never calibrated anything. Even on our immediately-previous Samsung 213T monitor, images appear pretty much the same in Photoshop as they do in all other places. That includes published web sites viewed with several popular browsers and viewed on literally hundreds of different systems inside and outside of our office.
The previous monitor was being used with exactly the same software and hardware as the new one. The only thing that's changed is the monitor.
Peter asks about brightness or white point luminance. I haven't used any tool to determine that. The monitor is set to 50% brightness, for whatever that's worth, but I can tell you that it is substantially BRIGHTER on white than the previous monitor. The previous Samsung monitor is being run side-by-side with the new one, and it looks quite dull and yellow beside the new one (and we thought it was a great monitor!) The new 30" Samsung has MUCH whiter whites. Does that help even a little?
Thanks for any further advice.

Lightroom 4.4 very slow - tried everything

Hi all...
Lightroom 4.4 is very slow for me... everything takes longer than it should and it's driving me nuts. Can anyone help?
Some details:
I have LR 4.4 on a Macbook Air. I have two libraries:
Internal - 5,000 photos
External Drive - 21,000 photos
My external drive is not connected and I am working with photos on the internal drive... so it's only 5k photos.
I've already tried all of the troubleshooting tips:
Purged camera raw cache
Increased camera raw cache to 3GB
Purged video cache (even though I have no video files in LR)
Deleted all previews (8GB worth)
Optimized catalog
Restarted LR
My Macbook Air has 30GB of memory free.
Any suggestions? It's driving me nuts.
Thanks!

I can now report from both sides of the fence. Up until yesterday, I had a four-year old Core2Duo system, 8GB, that had the dreaded slowness. Not as bad as described above perhaps, but there was clearly something not working as it should. Using matrix-based monitor profiles and updating video card drivers relieved some of the symptoms, but the disease was still there.
At the same time I used an i5 16GB system that was much better. Not good (as in instantaneous), but acceptable.
This morning I fired up my new system for the first time and sent it on its maiden voyage. Naturally the first thing I did was open Lightroom 4.3, and...yes. So that's how it's supposed to work! Snappy, immediately responsive, switching images like nothing ever happened.
Phew.
Now this is a pretty high-spec'ed machine, i7-3820, Asus P9X79 pro, 32GB, SSD. Let's not hope these are the real requirements for good Lightroom performance. But I did reuse the old video card, an ATI 6670 running the 12.8 driver, and it works just fine.
At the moment it's a pretty lean setup: Aside from mobo and video drivers I've only installed Lightroom, CS 5.5 Design Premium and Eizo calibration software. Anti-virus, mouse and keyboard drivers, file synchronization software, font manager and Office remain. I'll keep a close look at how Lightroom behaves as these are added.
Bottom line, and there's no doubt about it: Brilliant as it is, there is sickness in the Lightroom code somewhere. For some people, the unlucky ones, the symptoms are bad. Most people get away with a mild flu, and some are immune.

Bluish tint on screen when Photoshop CS6 running

Hi!
I just bought a MacBook Pro three weeks ago. I'm running Mountain Lion. Also, I have my copy of Adobe Photoshop CS6.
Something very unusual is happening. I'm a Graphic Designer and currently doing an Interior Design major. I calibrated my monitor perfectly. But now, ever since I installed CS6, every time I open Photoshop, a bluish tint sets on the screen, affecting every program running (browsers, for example) and it's very annoying (not to mention it disrupts any color calibration I made to my monitor). The only solution to this problem is closing Photoshop (the problem persists even if I minimize Photoshop to use another program).
I tried opening Illustrator and it works fine. Only with Photoshop this is happening.
I searched on Apple discussion boards for similar cases and found nothing.
What's interesting, I took screenshots to send them to a friend and the screenshots don't seem to be affected by this phenomenon.
Have I gone crazy or someone here has an idea on this?
Thank you!

As I said in my post on the Apple board, my bluish tint problem when switching graphics cards eventually just went away - no idea why. And I tried recalibrating when I had the blue tint screen but do no avail.
I can open Photoshop and use it with my Intel integrated card sometimes - PS itself doesn't seem to make the switch automatically. But when I open Bridge (which I use almost always) the discrete graphics card kicks in. My temporary solution was to use gfxCardStatus on discrete all of the time. And after a while, when I began switching to integrated while on battery, my problem vanished.
But if you've a new MBP (mine's a late 2011 yet still under warranty until 2015) I'd take it back to the Apple Store and have them switch it out for another machine. The problem doesn't seem to crop up often (else there would be many more complaints) and it seems to be only on 2011 and 2012 machines. I don't think it's an Adobe problem at all as it happened to me when any app that uses discrete graphics would kick in (including Google Chrome).
I didn't send in a bug report to Apple because I thought that the problem was only with my machine. Yours is only the fourth time I've heard of the dreaded blue tint occurring. Take your machine back to the Apple Store and show them the problem. Maybe they will have a better fix than just using gfxCardStatus.

Clinton

Lightroom 4.3 VERY slow

I dont think I'm alone with slowness using Lightroom 4. For what it's worth my story is I was using LR 2.6 and worked really well until I recently got a Canon 5D MkIII and needed to upgrade above LR2.x. LR4.3 is VERY sluggish compared to what I had - probably 3-4 times as slow rendering each photo preview when I'm using Develop or Loupe and sluggish making adjustments even basic ones like exposure.
I have tried:
-Optimising the catalog
-Increased the Camera Raw cache to 30GB
-Rendering 1:1 previews at max size
-Purged cache and rebuilt previews
-Set sharpness and grain sliders to 0 (I'll do that last in my processing)
I have even checked it against my Mac Book Pro speed which runs on an SSD and it's slightly better but still not nearly as fast at LR2.6.
I am using a 27" imac with 12GB RAM and 2.8ghz i7. I use this computer solely for editing so I'm not running any other software which means RAM isnt the issue. Processor speed isnt bad so it must be the software right?!
Any ideas?
Would downgrading to LR3.x be any better?

How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

InDesign's PDF export engine does not transcode your videos, they are embedded exactly as they were in the original file. The Flash Player runtime which displays video inside PDF files may not show a perfect match to Quicktime etc. because most video playback tools aren't designed for a color-calibrated workflow, but they should be close.
The playback quality (blocking and aliasing) will be affected if the clip is not playing at 100% (screen pixels != video pixels) and in PDFs with the standard video player widget, that will only ever happen when you use 'floating window' mode. PDF pages have physical dimensions, so viewing them at "100%" does not make them match screen pixels.
If you don't mind the video clip being smaller than the media annotation in which it's playing, then use my free upgrade to the Acrobat playback widget - VideoPlayerX - which maintains 1:1 pixel scale until the page is zoomed out too far for it to fit. You can install the widget into InDesign so it's used by default when exporting.

Corsair SSD sata 3 very slow!!

hi, i have change my SSD from CSSD-F240GB2 (sata2) to CSSD-F240GB3 (sata3).
sata2 work fine but sata3 is unusable. speed is randomly slow.. often error on write.
i had request support to apple store that had replace sata data/power cord without any result...
do you know how i have this problem? hdd work fine on other computer...
thanks

Please outline structure of custom Bodeplotter in Signal Express somebody!!!

Hi measuring Bode diagram of low-quality DC-motors is hard (voltage in -angle out) because
the "zero"-position is drifting away.
This is due to unwanted offset in the signalgenerator and/or nonlinearities in
the DC-motor.
I've done a vi that detects a dc-offset in a signal and generates a "counter" DC-offset to compensate for it.
Now I need to use signal express to generate x number of signals consecutively, with increasing frequency, specified by the user,
While outputting each signal, it should be possible to add the counter-DC-offset.
When DC-drift is compensated, that is no DC component from the rotorangle-measuring-transducer,
SignalExpress should calculate and plot corresponding gain and phase shift in a Bodediagram.
This should repeat itself until all frequencies are measured are run and gain and phase shift is plotted in the same single diagram
Kindest regards,
laskar01

Hello OKors,
For future reference, you can check the version of NI-DAQmx installed through Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).
Start»Programs»National Instruments»Measurement & Automation
With MAX open, you can expand the Software section to see all NI Software installed and their respective versions.
You are correct that this process is somewhat of a table-based physical calibration. We have not yet implemented the same Offset Null and Gain adjust type of calibration that you would find with the Strain task. The calibration process available with the Custom Voltage with Excitation task is designed to interpolate between calibration data points. Thus, you must provide at least two calibration points. Your first calibration point could be zero (unloaded). Use zero as your first reference point. Provide a second data point to obtain a y = mx + b interpolation. Apply a known load to your load cell and use this as the second reference point.
An alternative would be to simply take a measurement from your unloaded Load Cell and apply this to your Custom Scale. You should be using a Custom Scale anyway since you don't want Volts but Lbs right? In the scaling parameters of the Custom Scale, the Slope should be your load cell sensitivity (lbs/V) and the Y-intercept can be your offset.

Compliance Calibrator Design - Roles and Profiles

Hi guys,as you know SAP's authorization concept involves generation of Roles into Profile before it can be assigned to a User. In CC, i wonder why is there a need to segregate Roles and Profiles into 2 seperate functions. Isnt it already sufficient to analyse roles instead of profiles? Profile are names which is too technical which i feel should be omitted unless really necessary.
Well, unless it is to cater for indirect assignment where profiles are granted to position/org unit etc... I will also be trying out whether there is a difference when you only batch analyse a Role and intentionally excluding the 'profile' whenever a new role is created. Will the system work fine when i do a role analysis?
Cheers!

I agree that profiles are old fashioned and should be phased out. The system has to stop people from being able to maintain profiles directly and assign them directly before they do this though. SAP_ALL etc can be converted and assigned as a role. It would make the whole authorisation concept just that little bit easier. We are talking about a German company though!
Also, you don't need profiles for indirect assignment. You can relate roles to the position using PFCG! Click on the organisational management button on the user-tab, next to the user comparison button.
Using profiles (ie, maintaining directly and assignment) is highly recommended against.

How difficult would it be to upgrade from Lookout 5.1 to 6.5?

Hello, I was told that Lookout 6.5 works with Windows 7. Before I purchase 6.5 I need to know how difficult it will be to move from 5.1 to 6.5. Has anyone done this move? If I am going to have to redraw, or do numerous changes to the Database then I won't do it and I'll start from scratch with Cimplicity or ClearSCADA.
Thanks.
SCADA Programmer at the Coachella Valley Water District.

We use a custom SCADA designed by SCIPAR out of Buffalo New York. We've had a SCADA System here for about 28 Years. I have small standalone SCADA Systems running Lookout.
Another Question, because I can't get the Database Converted for one of my systems, I'm wondering if it is ever needed. This is a small system and the operator's use Trending and Alarm Functions but they never look at historical archives. I do have the Object Members set up to Log, is that needed for Trending to function? I wonder if I can get by without the conversion since it doesn't look like I'm ever going to get it to work.

Thanks.

If you have one of the new dual core G5s that will work. If you don't then that RAM will not work. It is DDR2 and the older PowerMac G5s use DDR.

MBP 15" core i5 battery calibration

Hi
Last time I bought a MacBook, it came with a detailed instruction on how to calibrate the battery for maximum performance. When I got my MBP 15", 2.4 GHz core i5 recently, it came without such instructions. I thought that might be because the new line of MBP's doesn't need the calibration anymore, because of new battery/overall design? Or should I still calibrate, with instructions found on the net? Is it still true that one should let the battery go flat, before recharging?
