DSC alarms are blinking when they shouldn't

I have a bunch of shared variables on my front panel.  Some of them have alarming enabled, with the option to blink when alarming.  I programmatically disable all alarms at startup of the VI, but some of them blink when there is a value of zero for the variable.  Anything above zero causes the blinking to stop.  It even does it for a variable that I disabled the alarming for, using the shared variable properties.  I can use the "Read Alarms" vi, and there is nothing being reported.

Hi Brian,
Couple of questions - what version of LV and DSC are you using? How are you having your shared variables set up to blink? It sounds like there is some other factor than the alarm that is triggering the blinking since Read Alarms doesn't have anything AND you have alarming turned off and they are still blinking. I would suggest either 1) deleting and re-adding your variables in case something became corrupt or there is some other underlying alarm that is causing the blinking or 2) get rid of the blinking feature, ensure the variables work correctly, and then add it back one at a time to check to see where the problem is. You could also post your code for myself or others to take a look at and possibly find the problem. Thanks!

  • Podcasts are syncing when they shouldn't be

    My iPod finally ran out of space so I wanted to remove some of the video podcasts from it. I have my podcast syncing set to sync the selected podcasts so I thought I could just uncheck the ones I didn't want to keep on my iPod and sync to remove them. That didn't work so I put my iPod in manual sync mode and removed them. I turned off the manual sync option and told it to sync again and it's copying all my podcasts (even the ones that aren't checked on the podcast tab). How do I make it stop so I can free up some space?

    Ok, I can confirm that the problem doesn't affect music playlists.
    I've also noticed that the files that get copied when they shouldn't take up more space than the ones that are supposed to be there. I noticed this by syncing, checking a podcast that was previously unchecked, then resyncing. It wasn't a lot of space, only around 10-25 mb.
    I've also found a workaround to get the files off my iPod. I have the "Sync only checked songs and videos" option checked on the summary tab for my iPod in iTunes. I can uncheck each individual podcast that I don't want to be on my iPod, then resync and they are removed. So I guess the problem is only present on the Podcasts (possibly movies and tv shows too) tab of the iPod screen in iTunes.
    Is there somewhere else I should go to submit a bug report?

  • TS1630 My iPhone 4 says the headphones are in when they are not. I am not getting any sound from the speaker. Nothing appears to be in the headphone jack.  Any ideas anyone?

    My iPhone 4S  has no sound through the speaker generally, although the speakerphone does work.  It is indicating that headphones are in, when they are not.  Nothing appears to be in the headphone jack.  Resetting the phone has not resolved the problem.  any ideas what could be wrong?

    This just happened to my brand new iPhone5. I tried turning all the way off and then on AND plugging and unplugging. Only to discover that simply connecting to the charger worked!!!
    Very frustrating though!!

    According to this article  Using iPhone on an airplane  you should be able to listen to music with Airplay Mode enabled.
    Make sure you have Music switched on in Settings > Store or your music won't download via Wi-Fi.

  • Trying to combine folders within LR4 from two separate drives without creating duplicates--sometimes it won't let me transfer to destination folder because it says files are there when they are not; other times, allows duplicates to transfer

    Trying to consolidate 261K+ of images within LR4 between two drives.  Someone who was "helping" me with my Library in LR4 for some reason took some but not all of the file folders from my main backup drive (M) and duplicated them onto a partitioned hard drive (E) directly on the computer.  The duplication is huge, so I am trying to condense them all back onto the original backup drive M, particularly since I believe there are also folders on the partitioned backup drive E that do not appear on the main one M, and there are many more file folders on M that are not on E, so that is the destination drive.
    CONSOLIDATION:  When I try to drag either the file folders or the individual files from the duplicate drive E to the original drive M to combine the two drives since the folders in many cases for some reason are not identical, sometimes LR4 says the files already exist when they clearly don't. Other times it allows me to drag and drop all files, even if the exact duplicates are already on the destination drive, thereby doubling the number of files per image and creating more duplicates.  Right now I am opening each file folder on the duplicate drive E, looking at what extensions and file names are there, scrolling to the original drive, making sure they appear to be identical, then going back to the duplicate drive E, deleting the images in the folder, removing the folder, and moving to the next folder on the duplicate drive E.  *There has got to be a simpler way.*
    CONSOLIDATION APPROACH: I did start to create file folders names A, B, C and group file folders under them to reduce clutter, since those header folders can be closed down when not in use, but now I am wondering if I should have done that alphabetization to the main backup drive rather than to the partitioned backup drive.
    My goal is to consolidate the two drives down to one, delete as many images along the way that I know I will never miss, then backup the catalog and export it to an external drive and then copy that to yet another drive for offside storage.  Does this sound like the proper plan?  Last time it took almost 24 hours and over a terabyte to export the catalog.
    DUPLICATION:  I also have many file folders that have the exact same image in them.  One portfolio image may actually be in eight different folders, with the exact file, file name, file size, and date, even though I always have checked "no duplicates on import,"  How can this be? What is the best way to sort through duplicates?  Why are the files in some of the duplicate folders not in numerical order? If I do a search and call up a file # and find 15 duplicates, the only way I can find where those duplicates reside is to take each duplicate, right click to Locate Folder in Library, then once I find it, I have to go back to All Photographs>Text.search for file #, go to the second duplicate, right click to Locate Folder in Library, then once I find it, I have to do it all again.  Is there a simpler way to see all the occurrences in their respective folder locations at once?
    SEARCH BY FILE FOLDER NAME ONLY: I also find I can't search for a file using a folder name (for example, "John_Doe").  I can only search by file #, keywords, or camera/lens/date, etc.  Why will it not work to use All Photographs>Text>search for Doe? In other words, if I didn't keyword the individual files as John Doe, I can't search for them by that moniker.
    BACKUP:  It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR.  Really?!
    FOLDER LIST PRINTOUT: Is there a way to print out the Folder list (other than a screen shot)? I have so many file folders on each drive since I sort not by Year/Month/Date but by subject. It makes trying to compare duplicate folders quite unwieldy. 
    SLOW RESPONSE:  And finally, as though that weren't enough, why does LR4 continually blink to a white screen after each keystroke?  Takes forever just to be able to click through images, view info after hovering, etc. All other programs are closed down and the operating system shows very little memory being used.

    A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
    *There has got to be a simpler way.*
    I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
    BACKUP:  It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR.  Really?!
    Yes, really

  • How to tell if multiple files are selected when they are opened in windows

    Hello, can someone help me, my question is how to tell if multiple file selections were made when they were opened (right-click->open). Through modifying the registry I already have my Java program start up when a file with specific extension is double-clicked.
    The problem is when multiple files are opened at the same time, an instance of java program is created and run for each of the selected files. Ideally I would like it so that only one instance of java program is run, regardless of the number of selections.
    When you try it with Microsoft media player or winamp for example, it seems that only one process is created and run (I don't see many processes spawning when I watch it using task manager). Maybe this is more of Windows issue rather than Java programming issue. Any help is appreciated.

    If anybody wants to know, this can be solved by either 1) using DDE 2) using DropTarget (from Windows) 3) make a light-weight EXE dispatcher (eg. in C), and use file to have IPC between the dispatcher (which gets the filepath for each of the selections) and the java program. There can be other methods of course. Using the second option is the simplest but it requires WinXP and higher. I implemented it using option 3.. the downside of this is there's a warning message pop up when trying to open many (>20?) files at the same time by Windows. However, option 1 'seems' to have the same limitation. Having a java program created each time for each of the selections seems to be too slow, for viable option.

  • Will movies play okay on the ATV2 if they are choppy when they play on the computer?

    I would like to buy an ATV2. I do have some dvds that I have already ripped to a computer, but the videos are choppy when played with itunes on that computer. The movies play fine on other computers. Will the ATV have problems pulling video from the computer?

    Thank you for the swift reply. I went ahead and bought it. Let me tell you, this thing is magic. The movies play choppy on the PC like I said, but play flawlessly on the ATV even while the PC is encoding another movie.
    Sounds as though the PC is struggling to decode the movie on the fly - h264 is more intensive to encode/decode than MPEG2 - however the underlying bitrate for AppleTV compatible files is quite low and most computers would be able to stream them even if they struggled to decode them - appleTV does the grunt work of decoding and displaying so the PC is not stressed by just streaming.

  • Adverts appearing when they shouldn't

    I recently began seeing adverts where they shouldn't be occuring, most notably, the League of Legends forums but other sites, like imgur as well.
    I've run a full virus scan with Mcafee Total Protection, which turned up nothing. I've done a system restore to a week ago, which didn't solve the problem. I've disabled all addons and scripts running on fire fox.

  • Apps are restarting when they were closed prior to shutdown.

    I am running an iMac 13.1.  The system is super fast - especially after installing Mavericks.  My issue is  related to startup when apps are automatically start up even though I closed them prior to shutdown and I have unchecked the box that will restart open apps in the shutdown window.
    If I wait 15 to 20 seconds after closing all apps prior to shutdown I have no issue when I restart my iMac.  But it seems like the queue that keeps track of apps that are/were running is not being flushed completely if I shutdown my computer with a few seconds after closing the last app.  Not saying that this a big issue but it does seem like there is a delay in clearing  the app queue on faster Macs.
    Anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Why don't you explain what happens when you try to delete these two apps that are showing that they need updates. You can only delete them if they are actually installEd on the iPad. Are they on the device?

  • Itouch thinks headphones are connected when they aren't

    My itouch (2nd gen)connects well to headphones, but when I remove the headphones it thinks they are still connected. I've tried restarting, resetting, and restoring already. The volume control buttons work, but come up saying there are headphones in when there aren't. The headphone jack is clean too. Anyone have any ideas???

    I have the same problem. Have tried inserting removing headphones multiple times, looking for debris, the water damage indicator is still white, reboot, restore, etc. Still the iPod thinks that the headphones are always attached when they are not.
    This is very frustrating, as it seems many are having this same issue. My iPod Touch is just a little over a year old, and I have taken care of it. It's disappointing that the answer seems to be bad hardware on Apples part.

  • Why does my Ipad say headphones are connected when they are not?

    I do not have sound on my iPad1. When I try to turn up the volum it indicates headphones are connected, but they are not. When I do use headphones they do work. I have rebooted the iPad, reset and restored the iPad and the issue still exists. Is this a straight hardware problem?

    iPad has a mechanical switch inside the jack so it knows when the headphones are plugged in.
    It may be stuck.
    Inspect it to see if something is in there, such as toe jam.
    Blow the port out with compressed air.
    Try inserting and removing a headphone plug several times.
