Help with RS232 Communication without using VISA

I'm a newcomer to LabVIEW, and am currently trying to interface with an instrument that communicates via an RS232 serial port.  This instrument is not compatible with the VISA tool, and since that (and the DAQ Assistant) is all I've used to interface with instruments, I'm at a loss as to where to head next.  I know the baud rate, data format, stop bit and parity bit, and am able to generate the ASCII commands that I want to send to the instrument; I just need a bit of help on knowing which function I can use to go the rest of the way.  Thanks for any help.

Why is the "instrument is not compatible with the VISA tool"?
VISA is a device driver interface that allows LabVIEW and other NI programs to communicate with the serial port on the PC.  It doesn't care about what instrument is on the other end of that serial connection.  Likewise, the instrument on the other end should have no idea whether it is being communicated to it by way of VISA, or any other device driver.
If you are having problems, then it is probably in the way you are using VISA and not within VISA itself.  There may be some other ways that you could have your LabVIEW program access your PC's serial ports without VISA, but you are going to have more headaches and problems that way.
Please provide more details on the problems you are having with using VISA.

  • Inter Portlet communication without using workshop

    Hi
    Does any one have any luck trying to do inter portlet communication without using weblogic workshop IDE?

    Hi Curt,
    WLP's eventing system is designed such that portlet's don't have to care
    whether the source/destination is local or remote. If you have a portlet
    that fires/consumes events, when you create a proxy portlet on a
    consumer, the portlet on the producer will be able to fire and receive
    events without any changes to it. In this scenario, the proxy portlets
    work with the WLP's event runtime to collect and dispatch events on
    behalf of portlets on the producer. Going forward, WSRP 2.0 and
    JSR168-next's eventing models will be mapped to the same WLP event runtime.

    Thanks Subbu for your enlightenment here and in this group!!
    You mentioned my next quest, WSRP'ifying my portlet & IPC system.
    Can you suggest an WSRP example anywhere on the net or in bea?
    I guessing that suitability of IPC is also a function of whether the portlets are the remote portlets or the local portlets.
    Might a non-Bea IPC choice be usable within the local portlets, which are WSRP clients to stand alone remote portlets?
    I can imagine now that you mention it that the remote WRSP producer portlets can't use just any IPC facility and the events be pushed inband to the consumer portal...

    I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto.  I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them.  I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows.  I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years.  Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge.  180GB plus.
    I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive.  For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge.  The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows.  What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
    If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient.  If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward.  However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto.  In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases.  If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
    Some guidance and insight would be appreciated.  I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later. 

    Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
    Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
    Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
    For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
    Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
    The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
    Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
    The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
    Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
    When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
    These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
    So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
    So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

  • Single step workflow with multiple approvers (without using a group)

    Hi,
    is it possible to have a single step workflow with multiple approvers without using a group? This is for a contract document.
    i want to add a number of users based on particular logic. The approvers are random and do not belong to any particular group.
    DO let me know if it is possible or if any of you have done that.
    thanks in advance.
    regards,
    rubio

    Hi Rubio,
    I believe the behavior would be, if individual users are added as approvers then the system would require each approver to approve the document. However, if you use the user group, you could set the role so that it would be either ALL or ANY.
    Regards,
    Vikram

  • Can i setup a wifi router with my IPad2 without using a computer ?

    Can i setup a wifi router with my IPad2 without using a computer ?

    This is going to depend on what wireless router got get. Some want to do all administration functions via a ethernet cable connection for security reasons.
    Once the router is configured, you will no longer need a computer.
    Try looking for a router that configures through a web browser & allows administration from a wifi connections.
    I think the easiest thing will be to have a friend come over & configure with a laptop.  I believe that you can configure the router without have a broadband connection.  You could configure it at a friends house. Might not want to connect to the friends broadband so not to confuse your friends broadband.  ( this is only a worry if the router also includes the broadband model.  Just a wireless router without a modem is not worry ).

  • Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

    Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of.  I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our  "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit"  issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
    We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
    I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
    You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
    (and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks',  "Adobe phone-in experiences")

    Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
    So  I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself,  I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products"  to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
    OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi  & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any  "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE"  button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is,  how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
    So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a  " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
    So after thinking this all out,  and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
    Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year,  I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
    A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however,  if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
    I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
    OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending"  with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly,  and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add)..,  except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form....  Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of.  First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
    Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
    It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time)  of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one,  basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it...  and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
    Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly,  the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4)  If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
    Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that?  Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

  • Help with Video Performance Issues using Flash

    Asking on behalf of a customer who has been unable to get any answers so far - are you able to help?
    Background:
    We have a port of our Game Development Kit which allows us to recompile all our games using Crossbridge (http://adobe-flash.github.io/crossbridge/) into SWF without any code modifications.
    Overview:
    Our framework is using OpenGL for rendering and we have successfully ported it along with the audio and video to run in Flash.
    We are experiencing performance issues using Video. We cannot use image sequence as some of the video animations are too long and would increase the download to an unacceptable size.  Assets vary between 256x256 - 1024x1024 videos.

    Here's the rest of the story.  Let me know if you can see any resolution, and I will connect him to the forums.  Thank you.
    Current Video Solution:
    We create an instance of NetConnection, NetStream, and Video according to most samples out there, and invoke draw to rasterize the Video DisplayObject into a BitmapData instance.
    The BitmapData instance has a fixed color component layout which is not compatible with Stage3D texture and is therefore has to be reformatted before uploaded to Stage3D Texture (See Code Listing below).
    Our Problems:
    Performance issues with RGBA conversion (either using copyChannel or manually reformatting is not fast enough) natively in as3; this required for stage3d texture.Copying each channel individual using bitmapdata.Copychannel seems faster, but not significantly faster.
    Cannot detect when video frame has been updated, therefore we may copy pixels that are not needed in enterframe (processpixel).
    Looping video, our current solution uses the NET_STATUS event Buffer empty; Is there a better way to loop videos than checking buffer and seeking to 0.
    Stepping video, loading FLV or MP4 side by side assets from HTTP or embedded does not support stepping? Is there another way?
    ActionScript Code Listing:
    video_nc = new NetConnection();
    video_nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS , onConnect);
    video_nc.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR , trace);
    video_nc.connect(null);
    // OnConnect Event:
    this.ns = new NetStream(e.target as NetConnection);
    eventclient = new Object();
    eventclient.onMetaData = onMetaData;
    this.ns.client = eventclient;
    ns.play(flvfile);
    ns.pause();
    //onMetaData event:
    this.width = infoObject.width;
    this.height = infoObject.height;
    this.textureWidth = NextPowerOfTwo(this.width);
    this.textureHeight = NextPowerOfTwo(this.height);
    cliprect = new Rectangle(0, 0, this.width ,this.height);
    cliprect.x = 0;
    cliprect.y = 0;
    cliprect.width = this.textureWidth;
    cliprect.height = this.textureHeight;
    totalFrames = infoObject.duration * infoObject.fps;
    this.hasAlpha = true;
    if(infoObject.videocodecid == 5)
    this.hasAlpha = true;
    this.bitmapData = new BitmapData(this.textureWidth, this.textureHeight, hasAlpha, 0xff000000);
    this.video = new Video(this.width, this.height);
    this.video.attachNetStream(ns);
    this.video.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, processPixels);
    // processPixel method:
    BitmapData.draw(video);
    GLAPI.instance.glBindTexture(GLAPI.GL_TEXTURE_2D,this.textureId);
    var fmt:uint = GLAPI.GL_ARGB;
    // converting pixels using copychannel or loop through pixels
    GLAPI.instance.glBindTexture(GLAPI.GL_TEXTURE_2D,this.textureId);
    GLAPI.instance.glTexImage2D(GLAPI.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, fmt, this.textureWidth, this.textureHeight, 0,fmt, GLAPI.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, 0, convBitmapData.getPixels(cliprect));

  • How open a report with Viewer 2008 without using Visual Studio and Java

    Hi,
    There is a way to open a report (with parameters) save in a web server with Crystal Report Viewer 2008 without using Visual Studio or Java ?
    I've an asp page and i want to open this report using some command (I know asp, vbscript and html)
    In the past it was very easy because we use CR 9, but now it's already many days im looking for a solution but seem impossible.
    I know the craxdrt.dll is not included with Crystal Reports 2008.
    It seem me i can use OpenDocument, but i'm not sure. Someone has some easy example to help me ?
    Remember i have only Crystal report viewer 2008 on the server and on the clients.
    Thanks in advance

    If you are looking to create a web application or view report through a web server using only Crystal Reports then you do have to either use Java, or .NET.
    If you have Crystal Reports server or Business Objects Enterprise you can use OpenDocument to view managed reports but this does require one of our server products.

  • Use JDeveloper with OAF exstension without using EBS

    hey everyone;
    well my question is can i use JDeveloper woth OAF exstensions to develop app without using EBS??

    Why would you want to do that?

  • Need a lot of help with Kinetic Systems 3988 LabView VIs.

    I have a Kinetic Systems 3988 CAMAC Crate Controller. I am using the KS3988 LabView 5.1 set of VIs to communicate with the device. I downloaded this set of VIs from the NI web site. I'm new to LabView, so I'm having great difficulty. Virtually all of my commands result in time outs. Has anyone made simple LabView applications using the KS3988 set of VIs? I could really use them.

    Hello,
    I was unable to find any helpful application development information on the NI website regarding the 3988 VIs, but I did a search on the Internet for "3988 LabVIEW" (without the quotes) and several webpages came up (some in German) for some companies that seemed to be using the 3988 VIs in their applications. I recommend you perform a web search for more information on resources that could help you with using these VIs.
    I hope this suggestion proves helpful. Have a pleasant day.
    Sincerely,
