Having trouble opening connections and reading from Bluetooth devices.

Hello,
As the title states, I am having trouble opening connections and reading data from a Bluetooth device. We are using a PDA to communicate with LabVIEW. First, the Bluetooth Open Connection VI displays a timeout error half of the time. Second, when it does open, it does not read what the PDA is sending. Third, if it does allow an open connection, it will not do it a second time unless the devices are turned off.
I also have another related question. I am using a Linksys Bluetooth USB adapter, and the driver is proprietary. Labview requires the use of a Microsoft driver, and we are having problems going back and forth between the drivers. What Bluetooth receiver would you suggest using? The reason I ask is the fact that you have Bluetooth examples of client VI's. Therefore, you must use a similar device. Thank you for your time.
-Jon

Hi Jon,
I'm not sure what Bluetooth receivers were used to verify the functionality of the VIs. However, I still want to help you solve your issue. Please make sure that you are running the shipping examples and let me know what version of LabVIEW, what PC OS and what PDA OS you are using. Does the Microsoft driver work for your Bluetooth receiver if you uninstall the Linksys driver?
With your answers I'll do my best to help you out.

  • I am having trouble opening .nef raw files from a nikon d800 in elements 9.

    I am having trouble opening .nef raw files from a nikon d800 in elements 9.
    I have tried to update ACR to the latest version but can not tell if this has been successful
    I just get the message "wrong type of file"

    For the D800 you have two alternatives:
    (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • I am having trouble transfering music and pics from my old Nokia phone to Iphone 4s

    Why won't my iphone 4s recognize my old phone so that I can transfer pics and music through bluetooth? It just keeps telling me it is not paired with the device but I can't figure out how to do so. The Nokia phone recognizes the iphone just fine.

    Connect you rdevice to your computer/iTunes.  Go to the Photos tab. Choose to have no photos synced over and then 'Apply' the changes.

  • Having trouble transferring library and playlists from PC to new iMac

    I just purchased a new iMac and I have imported my music via a hard drive from my PC to the Mac.  I have the library and the playlists in the Mac but I do not have the play counts.  I would also like to sync my iPhone to the iMac library but it wants to erase all the data on my iPhone and replace it with the stuff from the iMac library.  Am I doing something wrong?  How can I get my library from the PC to the Mac correctly?  Any help would be great!  Thanks!

    Your phone is telling me you ended up not really moving the old library but somehow created a new library.  An i-device can only sync with one library at a time and your phone is reacting as though it never saw this library.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168

  • Having trouble opening Crystal Report files from a document library

    I am trying to open Crystal Report .rpt files from a document library in either the native, client Crystal Reports software or in Crystal Reports Viewer. When I add the Crystal Report files to a document library and attempt to open them SharePoint displays
    a prompt asking me to save the file locally instead of opening the file. I have done a lot of research online and found several sites discussing similar scenarios, however, I have not been able to get these solutions to work. Here is a short list of sites
    I have referenced for possible solutions:

    http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/42731/Crystal-Reports-WebPart-for-SharePoint
    Here are the steps I have done to try to get the .rpt files to open:
    Added the Crystal Report extension .rpt as a MIME type
    Installed the Visual Studio 2012 Crystal Reports Viewer toolbar
    Installed the 64-bit Crystal Reports runtime
    I have also created a solution file based off the Code Project site which partially works, but not quite right. In this project I have created a document library called "Crystal Reports rpt Files" and deployed the solution file to a site. When
    I open the Web Part Maintenance Toolbar I can see the selected .rpt file in the drop-down, but no Crystal Report file is displayed on the page itself.
    I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Does anyone have experience working with Crystal Reports and SharePoint 2013 (or earlier versions) that could lend some advice?
    Thank you,
    Alex

    We are having the exact same issue, has anyone resolved this yet?

  • Having trouble installing software AND restarting from OSX Install disks

    This may be a previously answered problem, but I couldn't find it in the forum.
    My recently-purchased MacBook has iPhoto v. 2.x on it, but this is really old -- the current version is 6 or so.
    I thought a newer version might be on my Install disks, but I can't seem to get past the screen that tells me to restart in order to install System X. When I do click it, it restarts back to my login screen, and then I need to relaunch the OSX installer, and the loop starts over.
    The obvious solution is to restart from the Install disk, however, I cannot start up from that disk; I hold down C while restarting, but I get a flashing folder-with-a-question-mark in it. Note the grey install disk is 10.2.4 and my computer is running 10.4.11 with upgrades. Is this the issue?
    Besides hoping one of you can help me 1) start from my Install disk and 2) find and install iPhoto, perhaps someone knows which version of iPhoto I will have, if any, on this disk (CD vers 1.0, 2Z691-4306-A).
    Vielen Dank!
    -A-

    Your question was answered unless we didn't understand it correctly. You are trying to boot an Intel Mac with "Note the grey install disk is 10.2.4." 10.2.4 cannot boot any Intel Mac. BDAqua addressed that in his reply. You have not responded to either his or my original reply.
    You're original question was about iPhoto. I replied that you can reinstall all originally pre-bundled software for your computer by running the Install Pre-Bundled Software installer contained on your OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. There's no need to boot from the installer disc in order to reinstall pre-bundled software.
    So, is there a part of your question that still needs addressing? Please let us know, and we will be glad to help if we can.

  • I'm having trouble opening pdfs and ppt...

    Is there something I need to download to help open these files?

    How are you trying to open them? If they are email attachments, they should open when tapped (those formats are supported by the iPhone OS). Note that the iPhone sometimes has difficulty with large pdf or ppt files.

  • HT4759 I'm having trouble opening icloud for emails and composing emails on PC

    Having trouble opening emails and composing emails in icloud for  PC.  What could be the problem?

    Then, if you’re using iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes, don’t also sync them to your device using iTunes.  I use iCloud and have no sync selections selected in the iTunes Info panes for my iDevices.

  • Why can't I read from a device on my RS232 port

    I am attempting to write and read from a device on my computer's RS232 port.  I attempted to use the Basic Serial Write & Read.vi example in 6.1 with no luck(I have also attempted to use the other serial examples with no luck).  My application attempts to write a command to this device on the RS232 port and then read the response back from the device.  Everytime I run the vi I receive a timeout error. It seems the timeout is occuring during the read portion.   I have used another application(MTTTY) to send and recieve RS232 messages back and forth to this device, so I know the port and device are working.  I have entered the same port settings I am using in the MTTTY application into the vi still with no success.  One more thing, after I run the Basic Serial Write & Read.vi example, my other application can no longer read & write successfully to the device on the port.  I need to power cycle my device before my MTTTY application will again be able to communicate successfully.  Anyone have any ideas on what is going on?

    I'm not familiar with the MTTY program but your problem is extremely common and usually the result of not sending a termination character at the end of the command string. Most serial instrument require this and it's usually a carriage return or line feed character. In the LabVIEW example, right click the string control where you are entering your command and select '\' Codes Display. Type a \r (carriage return) or \n (line feed) or a combination of both, at the end of the command. Your instrument manual should tell you exactly what is required.

  • Just got my MacBook Pro....having trouble opening up certain web pages...just keeps scrolling and scrolling, my 7 year old desk top that is on the same wireless network for internet opened up the same web page right away, so I think the Internet is OK

    just got my MacBook Pro and I'm having trouble opening up certain websites, it just keeps scrolling and scrolling and never opens up the page....this is not the case with all websites, however my 7 year old desk top - which is connected to the same wireless Internet connection opened up the same page right away, so I don't think it's the Internet, any suggestions?

    Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated.   Repair permissions and restart your computer when done.
    Not sure if your new Mac came with 10.7.2 pre-installed as you make no mention of your os system.
