Help Getting Started with the Zen Vision:M (Z

Hi,I just got my ZVM and want to get started with it. I have a couple of questions, first:?. I have Windows Vista. Can I just plug in the ZVM and go without using the Installation CDs? Or do I still need to install something off of the installation discs?2. Why 2 installation discs? There is with a black cover that says Easy Start CD and has the Urge and Window Media Player logo at the bottom. The other is just in a plain white bordered sleeve with a light colored disc that says Zen Vision: M Installation CD at the bottom. I think I want to start with the light colored disc, but want to make sure. Thanks.

I think that the White disk that says Zen on it is the one you want it has Creative Media Source on it and is a very useful tool for me, the other disk has Windows Media Player on it and will also install a connection to a website that you can purchase tracks from (which i took off as soon as i found this out) not the WMP though, for some reason i could not get my Zen to work properly without the WMP loaded on my pc, however i use the Creative Media Source instead of the WMP.

  • Need help getting started with the ML505 Development Kit

    First of all, an admission...I am a newb to the FPGA world. A babe in the wilderness. I am trying to run a simple little logic design to get my feet wet. Four inputs using the WEST, CENTER, SOUTH, and EAST pushbuttons feeding two AND gates which feeds an OR gate which turns on the NORTH LED. I have tried to use the Platform Cable USB to download the project to the XCF32P Platform Flash PROM using the iMPACT software. As of yet I have been unable to get the program to run. The iMPACT program says the programming was successful but after pressing the PROG button, the DONE LED does not turn on. I've tried different settings with the Configuration Address and Mode DIP switches with no success. To anyone using the ML505, given the gear I have at my disposal, what would you recommend? What modes have you used that worked? Thanks in advance.

    Here is the latest setup I have used in trying to get my FPGA to read from the Platform FLASH PROM. Configuration Address/Mode DIP switches set to 01011001 as per "My Own Platform Image Demonstration" method in the "ML505/ML506/ML507 Getting Started Tutorial" The Platform Cable USB is plugged into the JTAG connector on the ML505. Its status LED is green. In iMPACT the Boundary Scan reveals the following chain... TDI ----- xcf32p -----xcf32p-----xc9s144x1-----xccace-----xc5vlx50t-----TDO   The same mcs file is loaded into both PROMs (xcf32p). I start the programming cycle. It completes and says "Programming Successful" I press the PROG button on the ML505 and the DONE LED does not turn on and the design does not work. With the same chain I add the bit file to the xc5vlx50t so I have the PROMs loaded with mcs files and the FPGA with the bit file. I run the program function again. "Programming successful" is again indicated. The DONE LED lights and the design works. I then press the PROG button. The DONE LED turns off and the design ceases to function. I have also tried this with only one PROM loaded with a mcs file with no success. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

  • Problems with the Zen Vision:M 6

    I'm experiencing a lot hangs and lockups with my Zen Vision:M 60GB,
    the newest firmware that is viable for the Zen Vision:M 60GB already
    on my Zen Vision:M 60GB, firmware version .2.02e, sometimes the
    clean up in the service mode works fine, had also a situation
    that everything went so bad that it lockedup when I turned my Zen on,
    had then to refresh the firmware and lost all my music on its hard dri've,
    costed me hours to get everything back on it.
    Please, Creative do something about these lockups bring new firmware out
    that solves these problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Please start supporting the Zen Vision:M 60GB again.

    I use Widows XP Professional SP3 and Windows XP Professional x64 SP2 with medially .
    I can't see why this matters because the problems are located at the player itself, I've got no
    problems with moving files to the player or any problems with connecting the player with the computer,
    I'm experiencing a lot of freezups of the firmware of the player, harddisk keeps running, it does that
    till the battery is low or till I push reset, sometimes this doesn't help at all, the operating system at
    the harddri've gets somehow damaged by the instability of the filesystem, reflashing the firmware helps
    the. Problems appear to be a software problem with the firmware, the player went away for repairs once,
    with this problem, they have checked the harddisk, harddisk was fine but the os crapped up it's self
    somehow, know this because I asked them to tell me every thing what was wrong and how they solved this,
    asked them also how I could fix the player myself? if it was no hardware problem.
    They told me to reflash the firmware and format the dri've from the service mode out.

  • Accessories that come as standard with the Zen Vision: M 30gb.

    Hi,?This may be a silly question, but do headphones come as standard with the Zen Vision: M? The only reason I ask is because I know it isn't standard to get?a charger. Also, there is an option to buy an accessories pack which has a charger but also has earphones. It is possible that these earphones are just better than the ones included but I thought it better to ask the silly question before I buy ?Thanks

  • Can not get example to work after following instructions given in "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" guide

    We explored using sbRIO for our project, for different reasons we ended up going with a different embedded solution . We are currently evaluating the LabVIEW C Generator to convert some of the core analysis routines from LabVIEW to C so the team that will be creating the embedded solution don't have to re-implement them from scratch. 
    Before converting our code, I followed the instructions given in the "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" manual to create a static library created inCygwin using GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). 
    I managed to compile the code, but when I type "run GCD.exe" in the Cygwin console, I just see the window flash with no time to see if the result is correct or not. I modified the main.c cde to add a getchar(), but the window still just flashes and now I am left with the GCD process still running and have to kill it using Windows Task Manager.
    Has anyone else got this example to run? I am sure I am missing an obvious setting or step, please help me.

    Hi Kevin,
    I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I am attaching a zip file with the LabVIEW project, my build specification and my version of "Greatest Common Divisor.vi", which should be the same as the one that you have that ships with the LabVIEW C Generator, but just in case. I am also attaching a zip file with the C files generated by the LabVIEW C Generator.
    You can also see the video I posted earlier with the steps I followed. I hope you are able to point out where I went wrong.

    Hi,
    Although I'm learning I am a complete programming / javascript / json / jquery novice so my apologies in advance if this is a stupid question or i have failed to understand the new restful api functionality which is available under this beta.
    In the past, where a client has had really specific functionality that was not achievable within the BC framework, I have implented an external php application (with the help of a web developer) and simply linked to it via a sub domain. Obviously not ideal.
    My hope is that the new api functionality will open up a range of possibilities that will go some way toward eliminating the need to build extenal applications and simply extend the existing BC framework using the added api functionality.
    One example that i would like to move solely on to BC is the following - http://mylist.grocerwatch.com.au/
    The above is a grocery pricing comparison website whereby the applicaton highlights the cheapest and best value (comparible) products. The application also allows the user to select from the items displayed to create a shopping list showing where to buy the selected products for the best value. The user can also email, print, or save their shopping list.
    My question is for someone who is more farmiliar with the new api and who is perhaps more experienced than me with programming. Would it be possible to create the above solely on BC without sacrificing speed, security, functionality etc?
    Thanks.

  • I never used LabView but need to generate a RS-233 serial output string that contains an IRIG timestamp based on a contact closure. Is LabView an appropriate tool to do this? How much does it cost to get started with the product?

    I never used LabView but need to generate a RS-233 serial output string that contains an IRIG timestamp based on a contact closure. Is LabView an appropriate tool to do this? How much does it cost to get started with the product?

    Labview isn't cheap, but it would certainly allow you to build a program (set of vi's - virtual instruments) that would do what you describe. Where would the timecode information come from? Your vi, or program, would: Start up, initialize the serial port, loop until a trigger happened, read the timecode (from where?), output that timecode out the serial port in a loop until you pressed the stop button. There is a free evaluation of Labview software available from NI - the base product itself runs about $995.

  • Getting Started with the BlackBerry Classic

    Reposted from the Inside BlackBerry Help Blog
    Whether you are new or experienced with BlackBerry 10, here’s a quick guide to get you started with the BlackBerry Classic!
    Step 1 – Insert your SIM and media card
    The first step you’ll want to take after unboxing your new BlackBerry Classic is inserting your nano SIM card and media card. When you have your nano SIM and media card (optional) handy, use the tool that is provided in the BlackBerry Classic box to open the SIM card tray.
    To do this, push the tip of the tool, or a paperclip, into the hole that is to the left of SIM on the side of your device. Doing so pops the tray out at which point you can pull it all the way out.
    After doing this, with the metal contacts of your nano SIM card facing away from you, place the nano SIM into the tray, then push the tray into the slot. Repeat these steps to insert your media card by inserting the tool, or a paperclip, in the hole to the right of SD along the left side of your device.
    Tip: If you don’t have the right SIM card please contact your service provider and ask them for help switching to a nano SIM card. Please avoid using a larger SIM card that has been cut to a smaller size as this may cause your device to not recognize the SIM card. Using a modified SIM card may also result in it getting stuck since the modified SIM card may be thicker than the required nano SIM card. When you have finished inserting your nano SIM and media card the next step is completing the BlackBerry Classic setup wizard.
    Step 2 – Complete the set up wizard
    If you haven’t already, turn on your BlackBerry Classic by pressing and holding the power button on the top of your device so you can complete the setup process. This process guides you through connecting to a Wi-Fi network, setting up a new BlackBerry ID, or signing into your existing BlackBerry ID, as well as showing you several fundamental gestures.
    Tip: If you don’t have a BlackBerry ID you’ll be able to create one during the setup process and, in the event you don’t remember your BlackBerry ID password, use the Forgot Password option to reset your BlackBerry ID password. Don’t forgot to confirm your BlackBerry ID, which can help you recover your password in case you ever forget it!
    When you have finished the setup wizard, the new and improved Setup app will open automatically.
    Within this app you’ll be able to complete the following actions that will help you learn more about your new device and customize everything just the way you like
    Find out what’s different about BlackBerry 10
    Understand the various gestures used throughout your device
    Add your email and social networking accounts
    Transfer data from your previous device (See step 3 to learn more!)
    Customize your device notifications
    Setup BBM so you can connect with family and friends
    Set a device password
    And more!
    When you have finished going through the various options within the Setup App, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to minimize it. You can always access the Setup app in the future by tapping on the Setup icon as well.
    Step 3 – Transfer data from your previous device
    If you are switching from another device, whether it be BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10, Android or iPhone, there are several different methods you can use to help transfer data to your new device.
    For a visual overview, check out the following videos that guide you through this process. The Setup app on your BlackBerry Classic can also help you do this, just open the Setup app, tap Switching Devices and follow the provided steps.
    Android device to BlackBerry 10 smartphone
    BlackBerry OS smartphone to BlacKBerry 10 smartphone
    iOS device to BlackBerry 10 smartphone
    If you encounter any issues transferring your data, or would like some guidance, stop by the Device Switch board within the BlackBerry Support Community Forums and ask the community.
    If you switch from another device don’t forget to perform a security wipe on your old device to remove your personal information. If your previous device was a BlackBerry device, check out our post on how to perform a security wipe.
    If you use a different type of device, review the user documentation to learn how to reset it to factory settings and remove your personal information.
    Step 4 – Secure your new device and turn on BlackBerry Protect
    If you haven’t already set a device password, I cannot stress enough how important this is. Doing so can help prevent unwanted access if you leave your device unattended and, in the event you misplace your device, no one will be able to view your personal information. To set a device password, complete the following steps:
    On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen
    Tap Settings followed by Security and Privacy
    Tap Device Password
    Set the Device Password switch to On
    Enter your desired password twice
    After setting a device password make sure you verify that BlackBerry Protect is enabled on your device by going to Settings followed by BlackBerry Protect.
    When enabled, BlackBerry Protect can help you locate, lock, or wipe your device where you are, provided your device is connected to the mobile or Wi-Fi network. To learn more about BlackBerry Protect go to http://protect.blackberry.com.
    Step 5 – Where to learn more and find help
    The easiest way to learn more about your new BlackBerry Classic is by opening the Help app, which contains a lot of useful information ranging from tips and tricks to how-to overviews. You can also view, download, or save the user guide for your device by visiting http://docs.blackberry.com.
    I would also recommend reviewing BlackBerry Classic how-to demo videos that show the various features and functions offered by your device. These demos can be viewed on your device, computer, or tablet. Several BlackBerry Training courses are also available – make sure you try these out on your computer, or device to learn more about the BlackBerry Classic and BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.1.
    What's New in BlackBerry 10 OS Version 10.3.1
    Introducing BlackBerry 10 OS Version 10.3.1
    Supporting BlackBerry 10 OS Version 10.3.1
    Introducing the BlackBerry Classic smartphone
    Another great way to learn more is by taking the BlackBerry 10 Pop Quiz, which you can find within BlackBerry World. This app offers short quizzes that can help you learn more about your device and it only takes a few minutes to complete each test – it’s the perfect coffee break companion!
    To get the BlackBerry 10 Pop Quiz, open BlackBerry World and search for it or click here. Another great resource to learn more about your device, beyond this blog of course, is the BlackBerry Classic support site located at http://www.blackberry.com/classicsupport
    If, after reviewing this content you have a question, register and join the discussions within the BlackBerry Support Community Forums or send a tweet to @BlackBerryHelp.

  • Getting started with the iPhone SDK

    Ok, so I downloaded the iPhone SDK to my Macbook Pro and installed it. When I go into the Developer folder I can find an xcode program, version 3.1, but I can't find how to get an IDE environment running to start writing code in. In short I'm new to the Mac platform and could do with some help getting started writing code for the Mac/iPhone platform. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial to get me going?
    (btw, I program in other languages on other platforms so I understand programming and its concepts, just not specific to a Mac ;D )

    There are some good basic tutorials about XCode and then some good videos in the iPhone section

  • Getting Started with the Contract Manager API

    I am looking for a quick way to move invoices that are assigned to the wrong contract or purchase order. (Right now we're deleting the current invoice and creating a new invoice on the correct contract, before re-entering all of the invoice information).
    It seems that this might be as simple as changing a key on one (or more?) invoice tables to link it to the correct contract or purchase order, and that the API might be the way to do it.
    So, if I wanted to investigate the API, where should I get started? I've read through most of what can be found by searching for "contract manager api" - and most of it seems to be this (http://www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/042740.pdf) or consulting companies. I'd like to see if there's somewhere with examples or a tutorial so that I can determine if this is something I can do.
    Thanks!

    The only documentation I have seen has come from Oracle Primavera. The documentation on the API is a little week and takes some time to get your head around. On how to make the move of existing invopices to another contract. In my experience it has been best to recreate ratehr than reassign. Of course this can cause much rework and can have ramifications.
    Option 1 - Do it by hand. Best way to make sure all of the needed data and business process are followed.Keeps the summary fields calulating properely etc..
    Option 2 - Use the API. Sounds eaisier than it is. Really need to be experienced at this otherwise you might as well do it by hand, in fact using the API is JUST LIKE doing it by hand since you must follow the business process in place. In cases where the data entry is so huge I'd pick this route, but we have several years of expereince leveraging the API at this point, so we can get it done. I don't know how you are loading so my exact wording might not match your tables. My approach is to untagle the existing invoices first by removing approvals (if any, certainly applies if doing pay apps). Then starting with the first one, I would load each in the order they need to entered. Several tables may need to be updated/added to: Some of these might be Master Table, SOV, Cost Detail and Attachments at the Master or SOV level. Just from my horrible exapalnation you can see there are some hairs on this.
    Option 3 - Change the keys and reference numbers from the back end of the database. Normally NOT RECOMMENDED and onyly should be used in extreme cases where needed. My approach here is to contact Oracle support, discuss issue, get theri recommendation, document it then move forward if needed. Down side of this, especially in the requisition area, is that we have seen the summary information getting thrown off and not calculating properly afterwards. I have seen this more with API than with changing keys, but assume that the same issues would apply since editing from the backend would not trigger code in the applciation to update? If you go this route use Oracle as a resource and do your research to make sure you do not orphan any records in the tables. The Contract Master Key is used in several forms and sometimes the Document NUmber is used as well and both need to be updated when appropriate.

  • Getting started with the compliance checker

    I just downloaded the vSPhere compliance checkers, 1 for 5.0, 5.1, and 5.5.   When I run the tool against the appropriate vcenter I only get results from 5 hosts. 
    What do I need to be able to get results from all hosts within vCenter?   is this only something that can be done using vRealize Configuration manager?

  • New User: Needs Help with getting started with the Z

    Hi, my son got a creative Zen for xmas, only getting round to getting it together now, and having some problems with the manual. All this is new to us -technology etc. We have managed to rip a CD but cant get any further! Downloading from internet sounds like such a good idea, but 'know-how-to do' seems light years away in this house! Is there an easy start manual or step by step directions that I've missed out on somewhere? the quick start manual is fine for learning how to use the player but doesn't give any info on ripping CDs and whatever comes after. Can any of you 'experts' bring yourselves back to the begining and explain what to do in simple english?
    Message Edited by Jeremy-CL on 02-0-2005 0:25 AM

    Mother,
    I moved and edited your message as your are more likely to get help out here. As far as suggestions go for downloading from the internet goes, there is not a lot of difference between getting it from CDs. The main difference is the process of actually getting the music.
    First off there are several music stores out there and some that are free. Here are a few suggestions (this is all personal knowledge, this is not an official endorsement of any of these):
    Napster - Integrates into Windows Media Player if you desire and can transfer directly to most Zens. Also allows a user to subscribe to an account that allows for streaming and computer only downloads of music (must purchase song to transfer to the player...usually around .99 a song)
    Buymusic.com - Website interface that sells individual tracks and albums.
    Wallmart music store - Website interface that sells individual tracks and albums.
    There are others but these three are the mains ones (outside of itunes, which is designed for the Ipod).
    Basically once you download them, you go into MediaSource or Windows Media Player and add the files to the music library. Then you just transfer like you do with CDs.

  • Problem with the Zen Vision

    So I go to turn on my Zen Vision: M this afternoon. It was working fine all day.
    However, this time it did not turn on.
    Instead it displayed an icon on the screen.
    It shows the Zen with a caution sign beside it.
    This Icon still remains on the screen.
    The TouchPad buttons are lighted.
    Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated.
    By the way;
    I had the "blinking blue light on top" problem yesterday, fixed it though by charging it for a few hours. Thought i'd mention it if it relates to the current problem i'm having.
    Thanks in advance

    Have you tried resetting it's (Stick a needle or something long and thin into the small hole at the base of the player, near where you put the USB dock)
