Equipment/asset management with LabVIEW

I would like to write a basic equipment/asset managment program with LabVIEW, since I just haven't liked the commercial ones that I have tried for various reasons.
My question is how can I manage the information using LabVIEW...? Is there any way to create a small database file (perhaps *.csv) with LabVIEW and be able to easily update the fields in that file as the asset status changes?

You can, but you should use a real database. NI installs the free version of SQL Server when you load the data supervisory control toolkit (and leaves it there if you uninstall the toolkit). MySQL and SQLite are available online and Jet is built into Windows.
Don't however use the database connectivity toolkit -- not worth the effort.

Load swf into RAM via an asset manager

Hi.
I have an AS3 virtual world and we are continually loading external resources such as swfs and sounds.
A few of my menu screens that take a damn long time to load. Read a tut that said we should load them into RAM using an asset manager.
I'm assuning the asset manager is simply a Class used specifically for loading and unloading graphics, swfs and sounds. So the important part to ask is:
What do they mean by loading into RAM.
I thought all swfs were automatically loaded into RAM ie: cached or in the flash player cache or the browser cache. Or do I have to do it specifically myself with some code. We are importing external files so we thought that was a great idea as they are shared by many games.
btw: RSLs I have read about but I don't understand. I thought my externally loaded files were RSLs (runtime shared libraries) or would I have to do some physical coding do convert them into RSLs.
This is so important because I am not very experienced but I am getting a lot better due to help receied in this forum and my current programmer is leaving me. I have been studying up on As3 and design patterns and I understand basic coding a lot better now.
CHEERS
EDIT: Just read that I am using a http call. - I use urlloader - well that's what you use isn't it or how would you load an external swf. Just read that you can hold the swf as a variable which loads it in RAM and therefore will be available immediately. Know I don't understand anything as I have never read that anywhere.

Hi Andrei, nice to see you around here.
Well, somebody helping me says that normally we make a http request with urlLoader to the server and that is what was happening each time. We weren't getting the cached swf. (that bit I don't understand and doesn't sound right - anyway...)
So he says if we create a dictionary class to hold that swf then the next time we make a request we will get the movie from there and not from the server.
I have highlighted the main parts of code below.
What I don't understand about all this is that I have never seen anything like this in my life. I have read extensively and read all about loading external files and using this type of asset manager with the dictionary class does not ring a bell and goole comes up with nothing.
I hunch is that as you say, we are doing something wrong somewhere because the only way to get an external file is via urlLoader to the server the first time and then the second time it should look for it cached on our computer is that right? Or when we make the urlLoader request how does it know to look on our computer first before going to the server or are these innner workings of the flash player I know nothing about. This is so important as when I get 10 kids on the computers they wait for as long as 5 minutes for movies that have already been downloaded many times before.
Cheers in advance.

ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 - Eval Question

We've been trialing several products and on the ZENworks Asset Managment
evaluation we ran into a few problems.
We run a mostly Mac shop. There are a handful of Windows machines and
plenty of Linux (Redhat & Debian) servers to go around.
I've gotten it all installed and installed the client on one of the OS X 10.5
machines. I see the zamclient running but I'm not even seeing the client
attempt to connect via the Collection Servers -> View Detailed Status window.
In the About ZENworks Asset Management withing the manager it has
license information listed as below.
Workstations 1
UNIX/Linux Workstations 0
Asset Inventory Evaluation
Asset Management Evaluation
UNIX/Linux Evaluation
Does that mean it will only find one workstation in evaluation mode and
that's why my other workstation with the zamclient installed won't show
up?
Thanks in advance,
-Chris

Next run a workstation query with no criteria to see if it shows. If it doesn't I would validate if you have the correct port settings on the client and that it is communicaiton to the collection server. The collection server will aslo have a log (something like collsvrcore and you should see the machine name in there as it talks to the client. If you're in there then determine if you have rights between the DB and collection server correct or that the port settings are correct.
I know this better actually doing than writing it here so others might provide you a more logical approach to troubleshoot. I will check in again later to see how you progressed.
Thanks, Bryant
I do appreciate your response, I'm sure all of that information will come in
handy when I do get a good evaluation license from them that allows Linux
and UNIX support.
I finally reached some folks at Novell and got a little bit of pre-sales support.
From the sound of what they're telling me the evaluation license does not
turn on the linux/unix support and so I couldn't complete my evaluation
with it due to that. I've been working with them to get a more functional
evaluation.

Integeration for Equipment with Asset Management.

Hi Gurus,
Please guide me how to integerate the Equipments with Asset Management.
Please give me all the process steps relatively.

Dear,
Integrating equipment with asset means at the time of equipment creation you want to maintain as a asset also. Fot this there are two option:
1- Create asset number at the time of equipment creation
2- Create equipment number at the time of equipment creation.
for these you hae settings in customization SPRO>ASSET ACCOUNTING>MASTER DATA>AUTOMATIC CREATION OF EQUIPMENT MASTER RECORD>Specify Conditions for Synchronization of Master Data

SpaceX is looking for engineers with LabVIEW experience in Hawthorne CA (LA area)

SpaceX is looking for engineers with LabVIEW programming experience for our Launch group. Our responsibilities include:
Controlling launch pad equipment via PXI/LabVIEW
Commanding and monitoring our Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 rockets via a LabVIEW-based Vehicle control system
Commanding and monitoring our Dragon capsules via a LabVIEW-based Mission Operation system
Ocean recovery of Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 stages after liftoff and Dragon capsules after splashdown
Cargo configuration of Dragon capsules going to resupply the International Space Station
Maintenance of Mission Control Centers with the help of our IT department
With the exception of the launch pad equipment program, most of our LabVIEW programs do not interact with DAQ hardware (unusual, I know). The Vehicle control and Mission Operations software get their data via Ethernet from 'black boxes' that connect to NASA & Commercial RF ground stations. We also create several utility programs in LabVIEW that also don't interact with hardware. So, this is mostly a software gig, not a hardware/software gig.
Ideal candidates will have the following qualities:
CLD-level LabVIEW experience
A good understanding of basic computer networking (TCP/IP, UPD, firewalls, VPN)
Must be enthusiastic about space (What year did we land on the moon? How many men walked on the moon? How many Space Shuttles do we currently have? etc.)
Must be willing to travel. Common destinations include Houston (NASA Johnson Space Center), McGregor TX (test site), Cape Canaveral FL (launch site), Kwajalein Marshall Islands (launch site)
Must be able to work without supervision. We have a very flat management structure, no one will be telling you what you need to do. If you don’t know, ask. If you do know, get it done.
About the job:
Job is located in Hawthorne, CA in the Los Angeles area.
This is not a 9-5 job. There will be some late nights.
You won't be LabVIEW only. Everyone chips in as needed. Our group has done Javascript, C++, MATLAB, configuring of TELEX comm systems, cutting of metal with bandsaws, welding, Unigraphics CAD, etc. If we need it and you don't know it, grab a book and learn.
We are only hiring full time employees. Contractors need not apply.
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, SpaceX hires only U.S. citizens and U.S. Permanent Residents.
Apply at SpaceX.com. Click the Careers button and fill out the general application. Mention this posting in the cover letter field. Don’t reply to this forum. You need to go to SpaceX.com to get your information into our system.

Trouble reading OPC Server values with Labview

Hello there,
I am currently working with Siemens Equipment : a Simatic Microbox with an OPC Server.
I would like to read some variables' values provided by the OPC server with Labview 2012 (and DSC module), but I'm experiencing some difficulties.
I have set up my OPC Server as an I/O Server in a Labview projet. Then, I have created some Shared Values to treat them in Labview.
In the Distributed System Manager, I can read NI OPC Client Status :
Active -> true
Connected -> false
Enable logging diagnostic information -> false
OPC interface version -> OPC DA-3
Server ProgID -> OPC.SimaticNet.1
When I want to check any Shared Value, I have the comment : Server Failure.
I think DCOM/COM configuration of the client and the server are good (I can correctly read values with Siemens OPC Scout).
Maybe the issue comes from the connection between the OPC Server and Labview.
Has anyone had a similar problem ?
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

You don't specify whether the server and the client are on the same PC or not.
I recently run in a situation where the Matrikon client was able to read from a remote server while the Labview program (using Datasocket) could not.
I suggest to try with Datasocket vi's to see what happens.

Linear Asset Management

Hi,
Has anyone worked on Linear Asset Management???
If yes, can you please provide me with documentation for the same....
Thanks in advances,

Hi,
Sorry for late reply.
Unfortunately I have no real experience of implementing it to explain you how it behaves differently
My undersatnding is that you can use the functionalities of PM and CS along with Linear data in the master data you maintain.
Functional locations , Equipment , Measuring points , Maintenance items , plans , notifications , orders etc. are used here also as in the case of normal PM. But you can maintain linear data in the master data.

Looking for help - Company is going to Mobile Asset Management service that does not support BB - especially BB 10.

Hello,
I am looking for ideas/help. I currently have a BB Z10 (10.1.0.2039) with Verizon Wireless. The company has a BB Enterprise Server for older devices (I previously was on that). I bought a Z10 several months ago and have been connecting to the corporate network through Lotus Traveler. They do not have and will not implement a BB 10 Enterprise Server. Some in IT informed that if the company used the BB software they could manage all devices..... not accepted.
All my contacts, calendar, and company email is funneled to the BB Hub.....
So my company is implementing a Mobile Asset Management Service that I have to sign up for (Airwatch?). They only support Android and IPhone.
Will future versions of the BB OS support Android Apps.... Soon (I have less than 2 weeks)
I have read where it is possible to put the device in development mode to run Android Apps. I don't know if that will work with this and have no idea how stable the phone is in that mode. I travel internationally so I don't know how a development mode would work overseas. Any thoughts?
I like my Z10 but will need to switch to keep functionality if I can't find a work around
Any assistance ????
Thanks for any help.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
BB10 devices have the ability to run .apk apps via special methods. Development Mode is used only for installing the app...not for normal operation. So you install (side-load) the app in Development Mode, then go back to normal mode for normal operations.
If a .bar file for the .apk app already exists somewhere, you can side load it to the BB10 device and see if it works or not. If there is not yet any .bar file, there is an app called SideSwype that can convert many .apk apps to .bar and install it to your device.
Good luck!
