Hello, I am trying to create an interface that will allow me to c

ontrol many instruments in the Lab using labview. I downloaded instrument drivers already. How should my connectivity be on all level (GPIB, and block diagram for interface). I am a neginner with Labview. If there are notes that can help, Please inform me.Mushakunda,
The first step is to make sure the instrument drivers are loaded properly. If they are non-IVI drivers, simlply copy the folders into the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.0\instr.lib folder. The path should be the same for most versions of LabVIEW. You can check the installation in LabVIEW by going to the Functions>>Instrument I/O>>Instrument Drivers.
Then, it's just a matter of wiring the functions together in the proper order, while keeping the VISA sessions separated. I have attached an example screen shot of controlling 2 instruments simultaneously.
Good luck with your application.

I'm trying to create a program that will allow me to collect data from a Luxtron thermometry system. How can I do this?

I'm a little confused as to how to write to the machine and how to retrieve data from the machine. I'm unsure of requested byte size and string to write specifically. This machine also has 4 probes, so it can record 4 temperatures simultaneously. How can I reflect this in the waveform chart?

There are example VI's in LV on Instrument Connectivity. If you go to the Help menu >> Examples.. >> I/O, you will see a couple; and Examples.. >> Fundamentals for File and String manipulation. I would suggest tweaking them to suit your application. Also the specific command that your instrument responds to can be found from it's manual.
You could find a driver for this instrument at http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/default.htm . If it's not listed there, it leaves you with one of a couple options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/
We develop drivers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.
If y
ou would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm
We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments' products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would suggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:
http://www.ni.com/alliance
Some useful resources for your application are

Is there an adaptor or interface that will allow me to connect a thunderbolt device to my late 2011 Mac Pro Firewire 800 port?

Is there an adaptor or interface that will allow me to connect a thunderbolt device to my late 2011 Mac Pro Firewire 800 port?

lllaass is correct.
To use ThunderBolt devices, a computer must have left the factory with a ThunderBolt port.
There are no known work-arounds, and there are not likely to be any because Intel controls the chips and is not interested in anything less than the full [including Video features] implementation.

Can I create a VI that will allow me to choose whether I should record results or not in Teststand?

I've created a front panel that consists of booleans. When one is chosen it will open a different subsequence in Teststand, and then walk the user through the appropriate test.
The problem is, what if the user hits the wrong button and decides he doesn't want to run the test which opened. He can cancel out, but the results for the test are recorded (usually failing, because the default values are present). This, then, causes the entire test to fail.
Is there any way I can place a button in a VI like 'exit, do not record results' along with the current 'exit and record results' button I have now?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Dave Neumann

Hi,
Find attached a VI (LV6.1) that will disable the results.
You will need to call the DisableResults again passing False to enable the results during your execution.
But I believe once your Step has executed you cannot then disable the Results for that step. The only way is to remove the result from the ResultList.
(see example sequence2.seq).

In the detailed help for the event structure there is a link to caveats and recommendations for using event structures. It is a good starting point.
It is courteous to let the Forum know when your questions are related to a school assignment or homework. We are glad to help you learn LabVIEW, but do not do your homework for you.
You have learned the major disadvantage of the sequence structure: It must run to completion before anything else can happen.
If you are building a state machine (typically a while loop with shift registers enclosing a case structure with one case per state) and having trouble with timing, then think about your requirements. Apparently you have some time delays, but under certain conditions you must terminate a delay/wait and do something else. One way of doing this is to have a Wait state. The wait state has a short delay, determined by the minimum time you can delay responding to a changed condition, and a check to see if the required elapsed time has occurred. If the time has not elapsed, the next state is the Wait state again. The state machine can repeat any state as often as necessary. So a 15 second delay could be implemented by going to a Wait state with a one second wait 15 times. Any error or new command will see a response in no more than one second.

Trying to create a property that has a structure to it

Hello:
I am trying to create a property that has a structure to it. Specifically, I am trying to create a multi-valued property called checks. This property is composed of check number, check date and check amount.
The data for this should display like the rows in a table, like an Excel spreadsheet.
I realize this is a tall order. However, is this possible? I have tried the composed of feature, but did not find this to work.
The best I could come up with so far is to have three multi-valued properties each for check number, check date and check amount. The user would then need to ensure that the first entry for check number applies to the first entry for check date, and then the second entry for check number applies to the second entry for check date, and so on, and so on...
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

Trying to create a service that starts at boot

People,
I'm trying to create a service that will start at boot (in single-user mode, actually). I am up and running but I do NOT want to run the service now. I only want to run the service when the machine reboots.
I've been rummaging around all day trying to figure this out but I'm stuck. I can create a service that runs. I can create an XML file in /var/svc/manifest/site/patch-install.xml that will be read when I boot- because after I boot, I can list the service:
svcs -a | grep patch
disabled       18:23:23 svc:/site/patch-install:defaultI have inserted the following in my xml:
<create_default_instance enabled='true' />and also
<create_default_instance enabled='false' />but it makes no difference. Anyone have any idea? What is the purpose of create_default_instance? I don't understand; item 9 on http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/selfheal/sdev_intro.html seems rather opaque to me.
Also, what exactly is the purpose of /var/svc/profile/ ? I tried putting some code to enable my xml but it didn't do anything. Just wondering if this might fit into the picture.
BTW, I do not want the login prompt to appear until my method is complete.
Thanks.

I only want to run the service when the machine reboots.I'd probably create the service now (by importing the manifest manually rather than waiting for the reboot), then set general/enabled in the default instance to be be true with svcprop. That should tell it to start at boot, but not enable it immediately.

I can create an XML file in /var/svc/manifest/site/patch-install.xml that will be read when I boot- because after I boot, I can list the service:Yes, that's the default. Or you can load it immediately to create the service now.

I have inserted the following in my xml:
<create_default_instance enabled='true' />and also
<create_default_instance enabled='false' />but it makes no difference. Anyone have any idea? What is the purpose of create_default_instance? I don't understand; item 9 on http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/selfheal/sdev_intro.html seems rather opaque to me.There's a difference between a "service" like network/smtp or console-login and an "instance" like network/smtp:sendmail or console-login:default. In most cases, you just want a single "default" instance of your service. The above line sets the default instance 'enabled' property to true or false. When I import your manifest as is, the service comes in as 'disabled'. If I set it to true, it comes in as 'maintenance' (almost certainly because it was enabled, tried to start, and couldn't find the start method on my machine).
Also, what exactly is the purpose of /var/svc/profile/ ? I tried putting some code to enable my xml but it didn't do anything. Just wondering if this might fit into the picture.'profiles' are loaded exactly once, and they are mainly used to set certain services to enabled or disabled.
3 of them are loaded if present, platform.xml, generic.xml, and site.xml. The last is not generated by the OS, but left for you to use. But it's usually only useful as a "first boot" type thing. Because if you make changes to it, it will not be reread. This isn't usually a problem because after first boot you're in control of the services. The usual thing is that at first boot the manifests load to create services, then the profiles are loaded to set then enabled or disabled. This isn't possible before that point because there's no service to modify yet.
BTW, I do not want the login prompt to appear until my method is complete.Any login prompt like a network login, or only the console login prompt? If the latter, then you'll want a dependency so that system-console-login depends on your service. But if your service has a problem at boot time, you'd make it difficult to log in.

Create a Procedure that will accept a variable

Hi,
I'm new to pl/sql and I'm trying to create a procedure that will accept a variable. I want to use this sql to create restore points that can store the name of each batch job as it runs.
The code works fine on it's own, but if I try to create the procedure it asks me for a value for 1, how do I stop it doing that?
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE create_restore_point AS
DECLARE
pointno number(5);
pointname varchar2(128) := upper('&1');
dbname v$database.name%TYPE;
scn_time date;
scn number;
BEGIN
SELECT restore_point_seq.nextval into pointno from dual;
SELECT name into dbname from v$database;
SELECT sysdate into scn_time from dual;
SELECT dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number into scn from dual;
INSERT into restore_point
values
(pointno,pointname,dbname,scn_time,scn);
commit;
END create_restore_point;
Many thanks in advance,
Tom.

It asks for value of 1 because you have &1 in your code. If you want to pass the value for pointname, then you can change your procedure like below.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE create_restore_point (svar varchar2)AS
DECLARE
pointno number(5);
pointname varchar2(128) := upper(svar);
dbname v$database.name%TYPE;
scn_time date;
scn number;
BEGIN
SELECT restore_point_seq.nextval into pointno from dual;
SELECT name into dbname from v$database;
SELECT sysdate into scn_time from dual;
SELECT dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number into scn from dual;
INSERT into restore_point
values
(pointno,pointname,dbname,scn_time,scn);
commit;
END create_restore_point;

How to create an action that will crop two sections from one scanned image?

I'm trying to create an action that will automate the process of cropping the left and right pages from a series of two-page book scans.
I tried to create a 2 step action which first crops the left half of a scan (by setting the left margin to 0in and the right margin to 6in) and then the right half of the scan (by setting the left margin to 6in and the right margin to. 12in), however when executing, only the left half appears to be cropped.
I imagine this is due to the fact that once one side of the initial scan is cropped, the other side disappears.
Is there any way around this?

Basically i need to create a new document out of a folder full of images.
You may have to look into Scripting to achieve something like this.
You could ask in the Scriptimg Forum
Photoshop Scripting
But maybe it would suffice to insert the Menu Item
File – Scripts – Load Files into Stack
into the Action and then iterate through the Layers with [ or ] and reset the opacities and Blend Modes – but as Actions would not be able to change the number of repetitions of the operation conditionally a custom Script would still seem preferable.

Can I create a template and that will allow me to add a region when i use i

Is it possible to create a template that will allow me to add a region when i use the template on my pages? I have a region that allows the user to create content in the region, but now i would like to have another region next to it.

You cannot add regions on a page that uses a portal template.

Firstly hello to all. I’m looking to create a vi that will
take a single logged output from a thermocouple and monitor the temperature and
produce a Boolean when the temperature has stabilised for a pre determined time
say 1minuet. I have managed to find a couple of examples on the forum but one
will only run on V8.2 and I have V8, the other is for more than one channel
witch is fine I can always reduce this, but it was the timing feature I was
having difficulty with. I looking to monitor the temperature of a motor until
it has stabilised prior to testing and then to use this temperature as a
reference. Pleas forgive my ignorance if this is a very simple thing but I’ am
learning and really enjoying it. Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hi
Graham, thank you for you reply.
What I’ am trying to achieve is a vi I can use in a motor
testing setup, a part of this would be to warm the motor up until the exhaust
air temperature has stabilised, this takes approximately 10 minuets. I was
thinking of just letting the motor run for this time and leave it at this, but
some motors warm up quicker that others and. I am basically looking for a vi with
an adjustable temperature window of say ±5 C° in 1° increments, timing wise 1minuet
to 10min the adjustment is so I a can use this for another application. I tried
to adjust the code I found at the link below but had a little difficulty with
the timing. Thank you so much for your help it’s much appreciated.
