Display all DAQmx Task Names in Listbox

I have a DAQmx Task Name control on my VI that allows the user to select from a list of existing Tasks created in MAX.
I would prefer this list of "available tasks" to be displayed (and eventually have one task selected) using a listbox.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to get the DAQmx Tasks into a listbox.
Anyone have any advice?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Where are you getting the vaiants from? It should be an array of tasks (a DAQmx task is a data type). Just wire that array straight into the ItemNames propty for your listbox.

Problem while displaying all the table names from a MS Access Data Source.

I started preparing a small Database application. I want to display all the Table Names which are in the 'MS Access' Data Source.
I started to executing by "Select * from Tab" as if in SQL.
But i got an error saying that "Not able to resolve Symbol 'Tab' in the query".
Please let me know how can i display all the table Names in the MS Access Dats Source.

Here i am developing the application in Swing using JDBC for accessing the database.
I want to display all the Table names from the data source in a ListBox for easy selection of tables to view their details.

Full information about DAQmx Task Name - How get?

Labview 7.1 (information required for solve problem)
I put in my application a DAQmx Task Name for fast configuration but i want put all information about task in a txt or spreadsheet file. But in Labview 7.1 haven't VIs like (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3079):
- DAQmx Info Query
- General DAQmx channel Info
- General DAQmx TEDS Info
I'm using Analog Input (Voltage and Accelerometers) with several configurations and I need register all data of configuration to re-execute in the future or know about how acquisition data were gotten.
I think that solve is in property nodes(DAQmx Task, DAQmx Channel, DAQmx Timing), but I believe will be hard work to make. Somebody has this working?

Sorry about that, I haven't checked if they were made only for LV 8 and later. Attached is a zip file with all the VIs converted to the version 7.1.
Some of them were not successfully converted and are presenting fatal errors when opening, probably because they have something not available in 7.1. But I'm sending you anyways, because the three VIs you mentioned in your first post that you wanted, are working fine in LabVIEW 7.1.
- DAQmx Info Query
- General DAQmx channel Info
- General DAQmx TEDS Info
Please let me know if this is of any help for you or if I can do anything else in this case.

Display All Running Task image corrupted or tampered with

My task scheduler reports of a number of corrupted task images. Now I want to display all running task on the server and it say the task image is corrupted or tampered with.
How do I recreate this task or repair it? Is there another way of viewing all task, running and inactive ones? What is causing these task image corruptions because my backup tasks are all now corrupted.

Hi,
Before going further, would you please let me know if you do some changes (such as: install updates, configure or modify certain setting) before this issue occurred?
Please refer to the solutions that Ronnie Vernon provided in the following similar question. And then check if this issue can be solved.

Report Column Attributes Does Not Display All the Column Names

Good Morning,
I have an interactive query Select * from table_name. I have to select * since my query returns well over 32k. I have 162 columns in the query. On the screen, all the columns are displayed; however, on the report tab, only about half of the columns are displayed. The rest are cut off. I need to be able to go into these field's attributes. Is this an APEX bug, or am I just missing something.
Regards,
Kelly

Hello Tony,
I can't break them out because APEX is limited to one interactive report per page. There is need to be able to do computations on the data, which interactive reports allows. The data is all statistical.

How to display all the files name in same folder inside a JTable?

Currently i am doing an LAN P2P application (similar to KazAa) which is have a function to search files and list out files name after searched found. I am planning to list all the searched file names in JTable. I am having problem to list the files name on a table field. Can anybodu help : ) ? Please

I don't understand what your problem is so I'll just refer you to the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html]How to Use Tables.

Error 50103 the specified resource is reserved - task name - on 4 modules

Hi all.
I'm sorry i put this post by mistake in Measurement Studio for.NET: smileyindifferent:
Let me tell you my configuration:
software:   Windows XP sp3, Labview 8.5 en.
hardware:   NI-cDAQ chassis 9172 with 4 modules installed (in this order):
                        1. NI-9217 (4 RTDs)
                        2. NI-9217 (4 RTDs)
                        3. NI-9219 (4 RTDs)
                        4. NI-9219 (4 RTDs)
So, i want to aquire 16 temperatures.
In MAX v4.3, all is working fine.
As you aspected, I have the famous error 50103: "The specified resource is reserved. The operation could not be completed
as specified". "Task name: unnamedTask<9>".   - highlighting module #2.
My goal is to read these temperatures consecutively, i mean: mod1 ch0..ch3, mod2 ch0..ch3 and so on.
My programm (vi) is like that:
In a while loop I have a Stacked Sequence Structure which has 4 frames, each for every DAQ Assistant asigned and configurated
for those modules.
So i have: Assitant1 for mod1, Assistant2 for mod2, and so on.
The Assistants work well in configuration preview mod. (I see 4 temperatures on each module).
But in my programm, i got the error above, on module2.
I read something about this error and I understand that I can't use 2 or more resource in the same time.
I understand that a resource represents a channel on a module.
At each DAQ Assistant output I have a Split Signal (split in 4)
But with this configuration and this algorithm I suppose I read all 16 channels in total consecutively, not in the same time.
Am I wrong ?
How can I fix the problem ? : smileysad:
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi dsasorin,
The error that you have mentioned can be caused due to a number of reasons. There is a knowledgebase article listing several reasons for it that can be helpful. Have you created a task beforehand in MAX? Are you generating the code directly from it or are you writing the code in LabVIEW and asking it to use the channels from the task you specify? Have you tried using the lower level DAQmx VIs such as DAQmx Task name and then tried generating code from that by right-clicking and selecting Generate Code >> Configuration and Example. Hope this helps!

Creating a new DAQmx task after building to EXE

Should I be able to create a new DAQmx Task while running a VI containing the DAQmx Task control that was built as an EXE?
I can't but would like to know if there is a work around or if I am doing something wrong. See the attached screen shots.
When I am not running the VI, I can right click the Task front panel control and select "New NI-DAQmx Task" -> "Project" or "MAX", but when it is running or I am using the VI built as an EXE (running or not) I can't. In the EXE I am able to click the Task drop down box -> "Browse..." -> "Create New..." -> "MAX Task" but nothing happens when I click on "MAX Task".
I would like to be able to create a new task in the software to use different channels and signal types on the fly. The goal is to build a program setup similiar Signal Express but include some on off controls for some machinery and scale it down and customize it so that it is easier to show people how to use it.
Thanks

When running your exe, you'll be able to select from tasks created in MAX. Instead of right clicking on the task control, try creating the tasks you want directly in MAX (under Data Neighborhood right click on DI-DAQmx Tasks to create a new one). Tasks that you've saved in MAX will be selectable in the DAQmx Task Name control.

NI-DAQmx task works in MAX or DAQ Assistant test panel but not in LabVIEW

I am attempting to read a single AI channel from a PCI-6024E card via an SCB-68. I have created a NI-DAQmx Analog Input Voltage Task in MAX for this channel, sampling in contiuous aquisition mode at 100 kHz, 10000 samples at a time, with RSE terminal config. If I use the Test feature from MAX, the channel acquires data as expected.
In LabVIEW, I call this task using an DAQmx Task Name Constant. If I right-click this constant and select "Edit Task", the Daq Assistant opens and I can use the Test feature from the DAQ Assistant to see that the data is still being acquired as expected.
However, when I try to programmatically read this channel in LabVIEW using the VI "DAQmx Read (Analog Wfm 1Chan NSamp).vi", the VI returns a constant DC value of 500 mV, which I know is incorrect (I can monitor the signal across the two terminals in the SCB-68 with a DMM to know that the signal coming in varies as expected, and as I read using the test panels). This erroneous reading occurs even if I make a new VI, drop the task name constant on the diagram, right-click the task name constant and select "Generate Code - Example" and let LabVIEW create its own acquisition loop (which is very similar to what I already set up, using the "DAQmx Read" VI).
Any ideas why the Test Panels work correctly but the LabVIEW code does not?

Hello bentnail,
I'm not sure why the test panels are readin the value correcly but the LabVIEW code does not, but there are a couple of things we can try.
1) What happens if you just use the DAQ Assistant and place it on the block diagram? Does it read out the correct values?
2) Try running a shipping example that comes with LabVIEW. "Acq&Graph Voltage-Int Clk.vi" should work well.
3) What kind of signal are you expecting to read (peak to peak voltage, freqeuncy, etc.)?
Thanks,

Task name while modifying the packages

Dear experts ,
From where can I find all the task name , that I can enter into the "Task Name" while modifying the package.
Is there any such givin task list or how do we come to know that which task has to be used in proper place.
Thanks in advance
Sanjay

Thanks Badrish for your reply,
Actually... I am not looking for any package. I want to modify the given package or create a new one. So for that... when we modify the package... then we can give either info, prompt or task. On the left side... only prompt and info are given. For task there is option for task only ... but what should be the value inside that task .i.e "task name" and its use.
My doubt is about the task. I dont know which all task I can give and what is the use of those task.
Hope that I have made my question clear this time.
Sanjay

Giving "Task name" while modifying the package

Dear experts,
Can you please tel me , from where can I look all the tasks name that I can pass in "Task Name" in Modifying package.
I am new to BPC , can you give me some idea about passing values to logic file through these tasks.
Thanks and I will really appreciate your efforts.
Sanjay

Thanks lebedzeu,
Thanks for this doc.... I will go through it and hopefully it will clear my doubts.
Also can we use MDX logics inside the package.... Is there any way to do that...
Thanks

How can I configure MA to display "speaking" OpCode and Task names

If you have a custom ETW Eventsource definition: PerfView reads and Displays from the etl files the OpCode and Task values not as integer but as defined in EventSource inner classe for Task and in the
System.Diagnostics.Tracing.EventOpCode. My question is, how can I configure the MA to display the values not as "magic numbers" or can MA get this feature?
Regards,
Alexander
Kind regards, Alexander

Hi Paul,
please take a look to the attached picture. I've tried to make a comparison between automatically behavior of PerfView and Message Analyzer by displaying of the same performance log. The Message Analyzer got metadata, generated with wevtutil. The related
part of the manifest is here:
<tasks>
<task name="ReadingFromGdb" value="1"/>
<task name="LogReadPreInvoke" value="65532"/>
</tasks>
<opcodes>
</opcodes>
<keywords>
<keyword name="Perf" message="$(string.keyword_Perf)" mask="0x8"/>
<keyword name="Gdb" message="$(string.keyword_Gdb)" mask="0x10"/>
</keywords>
<events>
<event value="8" version="0" level="win:Verbose" message="$(string.event_LogGdbReadPreInvoke)" keywords="Perf Gdb" opcode="win:Start" task="ReadingFromGdb" template="LogGdbReadPreInvokeArgs"/>
</events>
<templates>
<template tid="LogGdbReadPreInvokeArgs">
<data name="fullName" inType="win:UnicodeString"/>
<data name="methodName" inType="win:UnicodeString"/>
</template>
I hope, it helps you to understand details of my questions.

Why can I not use the channel name, which is obtained from the function of DAQmx Task, as the input of the channel name for the function of Get Channel Information of DAQ?

Why can I not use the channel name, which is obtained from the function of DAQmx Task, as the input of the channel name for the function of Get Channel Information of DAQ?

Not a lot of details here, but my guess is this isn't working for you because you are wiring in the task to the Active Channels Property and not the actual Channel Name. I have attatched a screenshot of what I believe you are trying to do. The Task has 2 channels in it, so I need to index off one of the channels and wire it into the active channels input of the Channel Property node. Then I can read information about that channel

All project tasks appear when I view a schedule in PWA but the schedule is blank in MS Project Professional

We have a project in our Project Server 2010 environment and it was being managed for a period of time without any issues. Recently, a user has gone into PWA and edited the schedule in PWA by deleting all the tasks and re-creating a new set of tasks.
He has saved and published the project from within PWA.
However, although the schedule can be viewed and edited from within PWA, if we try to open it in MS Project, the schedule is blank. ie. there are no tasks displayed. It is the correct project as the project name appears at the top of the MS Project
window.
I have tried saving and publishing the schedule via PWA but I still get a blank scehdule when I open it in MS Project Professional.
I have also cleared the cache in case there was something happening there but no change.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this and how to resolve it?
PS. I am not technical so if you have a technical solution, can you please explain it in as non-technical terms as possible?
Thanks
Peter

Hi Paul
As I mentioned in my post, when I open the scheudle in MS Project, there are no tasks displayed. ie. the schedule is totally blank. So although it could be opened, I was reluctant to publish it via MS Project. I did delete the MS Project
cache as well as the IE Browser history, cookies etc but no effect.
This is now a mute point as I decided to restore an earlier version of the schedule from the backups and it now seems to have been resolved. The schedule is appearing in both PWA and MS Project and they are in synch with each other.
I have put this down to a random corruption that somehow crept into the schedule.
Thanks for your response anyway.

How can I just display the selected value of a listbox in a report without the reverse display and selection buttons?

I am using a table which contains a text field with a lookup. I want to use the selected value of this field in a form which is acting as a selection form. No editing of the field's value is permitted. How do I just display the value of the field (which
is considered a listbox on the form) without the reverse display and the up and down selection buttons.
I can provide an illustration of the condition I am trying to overcome, but this system doesn't accept it.
Thank you for any suggestions or clarification you can provide.
Marj Weir

Thank you. I'll try that approach.
I found, after much experimentation, on a similar problem involving a multiselect lookup field, that if I make the field invisible, and add a textbox that displays the fieldname plus .column(0), it displays all the selected entries.
E.g.: staff.Column(0)
Staff is the field containing the last names of selected staff members.
staff.Value only shows the first name in the lookup list whether it is checked or not, so this is useless.
staff.column(0), however, (inexplicably) shows all the selected names, e.g. Jones, Smith, Wiggins.
