Extracting .s2p files from 8722A Network Analyzer?

Hi,
I wish to extract .s2p files from my HP 8722A Network Analyzer.
I could not find a driver for it. It is connected to my computer over GPIB.
I am quite new to this, so if anyone could explain the overall process to extract .s2p files from a network Analyzer, that would be much appreciated.
I imagine that one takes a measurement, stores it under a certain filename, then a command retrieves it and sends it to the computer?
Thank you so much,
Nicolas

Nicolas,
Instead of extracting the .s2p files, which because of the age of the device (manual I found said 1991), could be very difficult, I think we would be better served communicating with the device directly and not using the files it creates. Instead of the process you described, we could set it to take a measurement, send the measurement to the computer, and have the computer do any manipulation/saving it may need.
This manual discusses the basics of communication over GPIB with that device in chapter 12:
http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/08720-90135.pdf
GPIB communication is typically pretty simple. The computer will just send the device in question the command or series of commands then wait for the response back, much like the GPIB examples in labview (Example finder>>Hardware IO>>GPIB).
Unfortunately for us, the Agilent website here:
http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/product.jspx?cc=US&lc=eng&ckey=8722A:epsgro&nid=-536900197.53690...
only has the operating and service manuals, and not the programming reference manual. You may want to contact agilent to get the programming reference manual, as that will list all of the commands you need to send the device.

How to read the s2p file from Agilent 5071B ENA and to save in pc ?, also need to run this continuously and to save s2p file in certain period of time ?

I interfaced ENA 5071B using labview with agena vi. I need to save the s2p file from the network analyzer.. I am requesting you guys to help me and pls suggest wat kind of vi i need to use from agena.....
Thanks

The PNA driver does not have the vi to full support what you want. The SCPI commands to do what you want are:
MMEMTOR:TRAC:FORMNP MA; - to format the data in Mag dB Phase linear.
CALC1ATA&colon;SNPORTsave '1,2' , 'local file name on PNA file system.s2p' - to create PNA local files of s2p data
MMEMory:TRANsfer? 'controllerfilename.s2p' - to transfer the datafile from PNA to test controller using GPIB block transfer.
You will have to create these SCPI commads and VI's for yourself as the driver does not have them built in.
Good luck.

Extracting .xls file from an FTP site

Hi there,
I'm trying to run a DI solution that is extracting a file from a FTP site. DI can see the file but it gives me an error saying that:
FTP could not transfer file <FTP site/myfile.xls> from host <IP Address>: <>. Please ensure that the FTP relative path for the SAP R/3 working directory is set correctly such that the data file is accessible to the FTP
Can someone please help with this.
Thank you.

Hi,
thats SP1 for DS XI 3.2
I think there is no delta from XI 3.2 to XO 3.2 SP1 what means you have to do a fresh install and upgrade repo.
But you better doublecheck before but i think there is no delta.

I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail.

You said it was a network drive. So is someone else on the network using that same file or may have have left with excel still accessing it on their system?

I have to extract all files from a hard drive of a macbook pro that is no longer working. All I have to access the hard drive is a PC, is this possible, and if so how?

You could try Paragon HFS+ for Windows. That would allow you to read and write files from a Mac-formatted drive.

Batch file extracting all files from nested archives

I have managed to leverage a powerful
forfiles command line utility with the mighty
7z compression program.
Below is a simple batch file extracting all files from nested archives hidden at any depth inside other archives and/or folders. After the extraction each archive file turns into a folder having the archive file name. If, for example, there was an "outer.rar"
archive file containing nothing but an "inner.zip" archive with only "afile.txt" inside, "outer.rar" becomes "...\outer.rar\inner.zip\afile.txt" file system path.
@echo off
rem extract_nested_archives.bat
move %1 "%TMP%"\%2
md %2
7z x -o%1 -y %TMP%\%2
del "%TMP%"\%2
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE extract_nested_archives.bat @path @file"
ARCHIVES ARE DELETED DURING THE EXTRACTION! Make a copy before running the script!
"7z.exe" and "extract_nested_archives.bat" should be in folders available via the %PATH% environment variable.
The first parameter of extract_nested_archives.bat is the full path name of the archive or folder that should be fully expanded; the second parameter is just the archive or folder name without the path. So you should run "c:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat
c:\temp\outer.rar outer.rar" from the command line to completely expand "outer.rar". "c:\temp" must be the current folder.
Best regards, 0x000000AF

Incredibly useful! Thank you so much. I did make a couple of small changes to make the script a little easier to use from the end-user perspective.
First - I don't like making the user input the redundant second parameter, so I added this snippet which extracts it from the first parameter. The first line of the snippet enables delayed expansion so that special characters in our file name don't
break anything. The second line pulls the parameter into a variable, and the 3rd line uses delayed expansion on that new variable. Before implementing delayed expansion I had problems with file paths which included parentheses.
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set SOURCE=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
Anyway once that was done, I just used %FILENAME% everywhere in the script instead of
%2 (making sure to correct quotes as needed)
This way, to run my script all you need to run is:
C:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat C:\temp\Archive.zip
Second - I didn't want to modify the Windows environment variable. So I replaced
7z with "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe"
I also replaced extract_nested_archives.bat with "%~f0" (which represents the full path+filename of the current script).
Here is my full script now. Tested on Windows 8 with the 64-bit version of 7-zip installed:
@echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set source=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
move /Y %1 "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
md "%FILENAME%"
"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe" x -o%1 -y "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
DEL "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do (
forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE "%~f0" @path @file"

In a Windows, it is so simple. Winzip,winrar automaticaly discovering that are the parts of a single file and give me that.
My question is simple: How to extract single file from a multipart zip/rar archives ?
I know a way in "Terminal" but it is not comfortable for big parts.

I tried with UnArchiver but it extracted each file seperately like showen in a photo

Using robocopy to copy files from a network share over a WinRS command line session

Hello,
Preface: Using server 2008 enterprise.
I can't seem to get robocopy to function over WinRS and I'm not sure where the problem actually lies. Running robocopy locally on the computer does work fine, but as soon as I try to run it through a remote command prompt through the WinRS client or directly with the WinRS client I get an access denied message (error 5).
I've tried using runas while logged into the remote command prompt as well, thinking that it could have been some sort of permissions inheritence issue.
I've checked the permissions on the remote file share, I've even given 'Everyone', 'Anonymous Logon' and the computer's active directory account full control over the folder and the file I'm trying to copy, but still get the access denied error.
I've tried using /COPY:DT since I read that usually resolved error 5 issues.
None of these things have worked.
I'm kind of out of ideas, I've read some blogs of people who have written powershell scripts which use winrm/robocopy so I figure I'm missing something stupid. Or maybe I've stumbled upon a bug?

Yep, I verified permissions on them all :(
To maybe complicate the issue, I looked at the environment variables for myself while logged in locally to the computer and through WinRS and they look to be the same.
EDIT: Out of pure frustration I wrote a quick console application which impersonates the currently logged in user and copies a file from the network share I'm trying to access to the local computer. The application properly impersonates the user - but does not copy the files while it's run through WinRM. When you run the application as a locally logged in user it works just fine.
WinRM must be behaving goofy :(

Utility to extract ADS file from Planning application

Hi,
We had a Planning System 9.3 Classic application. We wanted to create a replica of the same as an EPMA application. We used a utility to extract ADS file from classic application. Post that the classic application has locked i.e we are not able to edit it. All dimensions are in view mode. Kindly let us know how to revert back in edit mode for classic application.
Thanks and Regards,
Meenal Dhall

Hi,
I think you have come across the bug in the EPMA extractor, if I remember correctly it changes a value in a table which stops you editing in classic.
You can resolve this looking at your planning system database.
There is a table called HSPSYS_PROPERTIES.
The field property_id is the application id, you find what application it relates to by looking at HSPSYS_APPLICATION
Once you know the id for your application
In the table HSPSYS_PROPERTIES look for a row with EDIT_DIM_ENABLED and change the value in the next field from false to true
Restart planning and you should be able to edit again.
Cheers

Can't preview files from a network drive to a local CF9 server.

Hi,
I have the following set up:
CF9 Local Dev version
CF Builder 2.
Project files are in a network drive N:\project
I have RDS set up and everything seems to work ok, view DSN, files, etc on my local server.
In the URL prefix section I even created a map:
Local Path: N:\project,
URL prefix: http://localhost:8500/project/
There is no FTP set up on the CF9 server.
The problem is that when I try to preview a file that I am working on from N:\project, it doesn't show on my local server. The previewing part works if I manually move the file to CF9. But it is the automatic uploading (or moving) of the file to the local CF9 that doesn't seem to work.
BTW, I have a similar set up in DreamWeaver, where I am editing the same project (or site in this case) off of N:\project, uploading to the same local CF9 server through RDS, and it works fine.
I know that if in CF Builder you move the project to under the web root it will work but that would not work for us, since we need to keep the project source files on a network drive for sharing/backup purposes.
Has anyone been able to successfully preview source files from a network drive on a local CF9 server?
Thanks in advance,

Hi again,
After doing some more googling I realize that for files to be previewed the MUST be under wwwroot. This wasn't too clear in the CF documentation.
So my new question is:
Is there are way, once I save a file to automatically copy it from one location(N:\project) to another (c:/ColdFusion9/wwwroot/project)?
I think there is a way to do it with Ant or some sort of Eclipse feature, but I am not too familiar with either. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Problem of file association while copying files from the network.

Hello,
I have a network shared folder with Quark Xpress files on it. I own an Imac with MacOSX 10.4.3 where Quark Xpress is not installed but I want to transfer Quark files from this network share to an other.
When I do this, the file association is missing on the copied file. The original has still the Quark icon, but the copied file has a blank icon and when trying to execute it from a mac with Quark Xpress installed, it does not recognize it (?). It's kind of a file association loose.
For information, when I do the same manipulation using a mac with OS9 and Quark installed, I have no problem with the file association in output.
Hope someone had the same situation to help me. In anyway, sorry for my English, I tried to do my best to explain my problem !

Zip the files. Select the files, Finder->File->Make Archive, transfer them, and unzip them using the Finder or Stuffit Expander.
