Help with TCP/IP communication via Teststand and Labview

Hello,
I am trying to create a sequence of tests and need to communicate between LabView vi's and another program over a TCP connection. When I have the sequence hard coded in LabView everything works fine, but my goal is to break up the sequence into steps and execute it in Teststand. Currently, the working LabView code sets up a listener, and the other program establishes the connection. Once the connection is established, I use the Read/Write to TCP blocks for the programs to send messages back and forth.
What I first tried in Teststand is to create a simple vi under Setup, that creates the listener, then the user is prompted to run the script on the other program to establish the connection. On the vi, I clicked on "create -> indicator" for the connection ID, then wired it as an output intending to use it in other vi's in the main part of the sequence.
The main (and very strange) problem is that TestStand will crash before I even get a chance to execute the sequence. Starting with a blank sequence, I open up an "Action," then "Browse for vi" on the Module tab and once I select that simple vi mentioned above, Teststand crashes before it's even loaded properly. A screenshot of the error, the error report (which mentions that the problem is with seqedit.exe), as well as the vi in question is attached.
This crash happens every single time I try to load the vi into the sequence. It seems to load ok on our NI machine running Windows XP, but it keeps on crashing on my pc (also running XP, i5 processor 1.85Gb RAM).
Is the problem with the LabView code, Teststand or my pc? I've tried re-installing Teststand but to no avail.
Any help is appreciated, and thank you in advance,
Sorin

Sorin,
It looks like you are using TS 4.2.1 with LV 2010. Can you please check if you have the following patchs installed on your machine
- http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/7D728B70F167CE088625776E00582C7B?OpenDocument
You will need to install both the TS 4.2.1 and LV 2010 F2 patch.

    I have a problem with simulation in Matlab 6.5 and LabVIEW. I have some methods for granting PID controllers in MATLAB to go but not LabVIEW. International Teams degree to transfer two but when I go past the fourth degree no longer work. We changed the formula for calculating the parameters for grade four and gave me some good values for Matlab award but when I put on LabVIEW have not settled. formulas are available in PDF and are. Please help me and me someone if possible. Thanks
    lim.4 generation parameters in MATLAB program and comparison methods are for second-degree transfer function.

  • Help with Client/Server communication

    Im working on a project for university, and one aspect of it is downloading files from a remote computer.
    The majority of my project so far has been using RMI only, for browsing the remote computer, deleting files, renaming files, creating new directories and searching for files. All of this is done via a GUI client, with a server running on the server machine.
    Ive now reached the part where I'll need to implement the downloading of files. I want the user to select a file from within the GUI and click download, and get it off the server.
    I dont need any help with event handlers or getting the contents of the remote computer or anything of that sort.
    Consider when I have the name of the file that I want to download from the client.
    Im having trouble understanding how exactly its going to work. Ive seen examples of file transfer programs where the user types in the name of the file in the command line which they want to download. But my implementation will differ.
    Every time the user clicks the button, I have to send to the server the name of a different file which will need to be downloaded.
    I imagine in the event handler for the Download button I'll be creating a new socket and Streams for the download of the file that the user wants. But how am I to send to the client a dynamic file name each time when the user tries to download a different file?
    I am a bit new at this, and Ive been searching on the forums for examples and Ive run through them, but I think my situation is a bit different.
    Also, will RMI play any part in this? Or will it purely be just Socket and Streams?
    I'll also develop an Upload button, but I imagine once I get the Download one going, the Upload one should be much harder.
    Any ideas and help would be appreciated.

    Hi
    I'm no RMI expert... and I did not understand your question very well....
    I think you should do this procedure:
    you should send a request for the file from the client to the server . then a new connection between the two machines should be made which will be used to send the file.
    by using UDP you will achive it quite nicely...
    //socket - is your TCP socket  you already use on the client...
    //out - socket's output stream
    byte [] b=new String("File HelloWorld.java").getBytes();
    // you should use a different way for using this rather than using strings...
    out.write(b);
    DatagramSocket DS=new DatagramSocket(port);
    DS.recieve(packet); //the data is written into the packet...on the server side you should...
    //socket - is your TCP socket  you already use on the server...
    //in - socket's input stream
    byte [] b=new byte[256];
    out.read(b);
    /*Here you check what file you need to send to the client*/
    DatagramSocket DS=new DatagramSocket(server_port);
    byte [] data=//you should read the file and translate it into bytes and build a packet with them
    DS.send(packet); //the data is in the packet...This way the server sends the required file to the client .....
    I hope it will help, otherwise try being clearier so I could help you...

  • Need help with pictures on an external HDD and windows labtop to Ipad3

    Hallo everybody!
    This week (I finally) bought an Ipad 3 and an Apple TV!
    For the time being I still have a windows labtop and an external HDD full with photo's.
    The ICloud software for windows has been installed because I would like to stream the pictures from this external HDD to my Ipad and then ofcourse on my flatscreen TV (via Apple TV). And ofcourse back, when I have taken a photo or a movie on the Ipad 3.
    I would appreciate some help with the following questions:
    do I have add all pictures from the HDD into a new map on the windows labtop. So that via Icloud the contain could become 'in the cloud'.
    or do I have to add all the pictures from the HDD into the Itunes map on the windows labtop.
    I have connected the Ipad to the windows labtop and via Itunes I have synchroniced a lot of pictures to the Ipad. I asume these are copies? And is it possible to remove them from the Ipad, because it will take a lot of memory (currently already 35 GB from the 64 GB).
    Well I hope somebody could help me.
    Many thanks in advance!
    Ronald from the Netherland

    I just found out that ICloud isen't really a storage place for photo's. Just a passing throw station to your other devices.

  • New Oracle DBA - Need help with backup & restore procedure via RMAN

    Hello everyone,
    I've been a SQL Server DBA for 12 years now, but new to the Oracle space. My first assignment at work was to refresh our training environment with production. So with that said, I took a full backup of our production database via RMAN and backed up the Control File. I then copied both the Control File and full backup from our production environment to training. I followed the procedures listed in the URL below:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_rman_clone+copy_database.htm
    I then connected to RMAN and executed a 'show all' which is as follows:
    RMAN configuration parameters are:
    CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
    CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
    CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
    CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
    CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
    CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
    CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
    The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Pete

    The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. These settings are persistent settings.So these information retain in control files.To reading information from control files database instance must be MOUNT or OPEN stage.Due to you have mount instance and try SHOW ALL command through RMAN.
    Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? Not only MOUNT also OPEN stage.
    How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
    There are several ways like duplication.But you take full backup from production database using BACKUP DATABASE through rman.In this case you will get also AUTOBACKUP for controlfiles/spfiles.Then copy these backup files and all available archive logs to training server and perform below steps.
    1) You have set properly ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variable.After that first need restore spfile as
    rman target /
    startup force nomount;
    restore spfile from 'autobackup_location';
    startup force nomount;2) Now you have to restore controlfiie as
      rman>restore controlfile from  'autobackup_location';
    rman>alter database mount;
      3) Now need catalog(it means register) all backup files and archivelogs in new restored controlfile as
       rman>catalog start with 'backuplocation';
       4) Finally you can restore and recover your database as below
       rman>restore database;
    rman>recover database;
    rman>alter database open resetlogs;
       If you want restore database to new location then before executing RESTORE DATABASE command you can use SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE clause.Firstly refer backup recovery guide in online documentation.

  • Help with mediaelement audio player, iPad resizing, and lytebox.

    I'm a noob but trying to build my own site in iWeb and using Coda to edit code.
    I am a music producer and my website has a page on it that showcases some audio.
    I have 3 issues that after about 30 hours of research and fiddling...I can't for the life of me figure out.
    I am a music producer and my website has a page on it that showcases some audio.
    1. Lytebox - I am using a lytebox to open a page I designed (HTML page in iWeb) that has 2 links on it so the viewer can choose where they want to go. When said lytebox opens and one clicks one of the two links, the linked page will open within the lytebox. I dont want this. I want the lytebox to close and the linked page to navigate normally in a regular web page.
         After much research I have found a code that lytebox posted to be able to do such a thing. They posted this code:
              <a href="javascript:void(0)"
                      onclick="parent.$lb.end()">End Lytebox from my page inside Lytebox</a>
         I have pasted that code everywhere I can think of and it doesn't work. I'm not even sure where to post it (on the first page where the lytebox links from? on      the page that opens in lytebox? on the page lytebox is linking to?)
         Here is the page i'm referring to: http://dallaskruse.com/dallaskruse.com/dallaskruse.html
         The lytebox link is in the Gramophone at the bottom left of the page.
    2. MediaElement Audio Player - I am trying to build a page where I can showcase about 15-20 audio clips (about 20-30) seconds each.  It is very important to me to be able to hear/view this page correctly on multiple browsers along with tablets and mobile phones. Someone recommended medialement.js.
    After HOURS of trying to figure this out, I finaly found a way to add multiple players but not have them load the audio so as to not slow down the web page...and it just was simply not loading on an iPad.
    Here's my issue:
         I couldn't figure out how to design (in code) how to add text (song name, artist info, etc) that was to my liking in the HTML so I added the <audio> player via <HTML> and just added text around it in iWeb manually. Problem: iPad is somehow resizing the layout and by the time you get to the bottom of the page, the <audio> players have moved and are now covering up the text. Its all a big mess.
         Question: can mediaelement.js use a jukebox style playback?
         Here's a link to the page in question: http://dallaskruse.com/dallaskruse.com/arrangements.html
    3. MediaElement Not Playing Back on iPad - I've ran some tests and when I just have 1 <audio> player on the page, it'll play fine on the iPad. But when there's more than 1 player then none of the <audio> players want to work. I'm not sure what's going on but even after about 20+ hours of sitting at my laptop, I'm thinking of searching around for a jukebox that has HTML5 and Flash fallback that looks NICE and easy to modify for beginners.
    If ANYONE has ANY pointers or can help in ANY way ... I'd be forever greatful. Sorry for the long post.

    in iWeb, on the page in question, i've only got 2 HTML snippets (windows). One for the "Vocals" and one for the "Orchestrations".
    In the HTML snippet, I've coded in 12 players for the "Vocals" snippet and 10 in the other snippet for the "Orchestrations" players.
    So, I guess I only have 2 snippets.
    heres the "Vocals" code

  • Help with two scripts - Mounting remote DMG and Checking which network I'm connected to

    Hey guys, I need some help with two separate scripts:
    1. The first script I'm trying to create to mount a DMG stored remotely on another Mac using an AppleScript or shell script. Using the following:
    set cmd to "hdiutil mount 'afp://username:[email protected]/Lion/Users/username/Desktop/Test.sparseim age'"
    do shell script cmd
    results in the following error:
    error "hdiutil: mount failed - not recognized" number 1
    I'm not very experienced regarding AppleScript or using hdiutil, could somebody point out what's wrong with my script?
    2. The second script I'm working on to try and essentially prevent the 'Could Not Find Server' Finder dialog when a network mount is unavailable. I guess what I'd like it to do is detect which network I'm connected to, and if I'm connected to the correct network, then mount the shares, otherwise just fail silently without any errors. From the searching I've done, using try statements should do this, but they do not, and I'm still presented with an error dialog after the server cannot be found.
    Does anybody have any suggestions on this script? Also, I've seen some tips regarding detecting which wireless network the Mac is connected to, which could work, but what about when connected via Ethernet?
    Thanks!

    Edit: I need to clarify on my first script request:
    I need to mount the DMG on the remote Mac, not on the Mac I'm running the script from.

  • Need help with Soundblaster Live! 5.1 and King Theatre 5.1 speake

    Hi,
    First time ost and need some help.
    Ok i bought a nice Soundblaster Li've! 5. sound card around a month ago. 2 days ago i bought myself som speakers "Kingtheatre 5." I doubt it any of you have ever heard of this brand, i bought speakers from local shop. Ok this is where the problems start. When i try to connect the speakers i can only ever get 4 out of 5 satelites to work and the subwoofer. If i change the wiring around, i will only ever have 4 speakers working at a time. Can anyone help me with the connecting. In the back of the subwoofer i have 3 cables, one says "Centre/subwoofer" the other says "Input | surround L/R" with the word Input on the side of it, and the last one says "Front L/R(Stereo)". At the back of my soundcard i have the following colour plug ins (sorry im only 4, im not used to technical terms) Ok from left to right black, green,pink(mic),blue and a orange/brownie colour. Can anyone help with the pluging it part.
    Cheers, sorry about the long post.

    Dooda,
    If you can post a link for the layout diagram of your speaker system then it will be great.
    From your description, you could try this. Connect the audio cable from subwoofer "Front L/R(Stereo)" to Green jack on the sound card, "Input | surround L/R" to the Black jack and "Centre/subwoofer" to the Orange jack on the sound card.
    Do a speaker test via the Creative Surround Mixer application.

  • Help with PageMaker 7.0, Transparent Backgrounds, and Feathering in Photoshop CS5

    Hi all,
    I am hoping  someone here can help me out with a problem that I've been having for  more than a week that I can't seem to figure out and it's driving me  crazy.
    I have a friend who's trying to put together a  graphical instruction manual using PageMaker 7.0.  My friend would like  to have the borders on the pictures in the manual be softened and the  background needs to be transparent, because each page in the manual will  have a background watermark picture.
    I am running into a  number of problems.  I have been using the feather and contrast options  under Refine Edges in Photoshop CS5.  While the picture looks and prints  great from Photoshop, as soon as I save the picture to a file format  that I can import into Word and then PageMaker (more on this step  below), the feathering only either becomes white instead of transparent  (the rest of the transparent part of the picture is still fine) or the  feathering becomes horribly pixelated.
    I am not sure which  step in the process is causing the picture to degrade.  The two file  formats that seem to at least retain the transparency through the  importing process are PNG and TIFF, albeit horribly pixelated.  Could  using these file formats cause the quality issue that I am describing?   Could it be transferring it through Word first, as described below?
    Is  there are any other methods that one can use in Photoshop CS5 to soften  the border of a picture other than feathering that may work better for  these purposes.
    Regarding the use of Word to retain the  transparency into PageMaker... are there any better ways of  accomplishing this?  In order for the transparency to be retained, I  need to add a text box, send it behind the picture, group it together,  and copy the group over in order to retain the transparency using Word.   This, needless to say, is a horribly huge pain in the ***.  Any  suggestions that could cut down the number of steps would be  appreciated.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Pagemaker does support transparency for placed files, just not
    partial transparency like drop shadows or feathering that
    would result in partial transparency.
    You can place an object into pagemaker without getting the
    white background by making a clipping path of the object
    and then saving the file as tiff file. Then you would use
    File>Place in pagemaker.
    You could also put a background behind your object that matches the page in pagemaker
    or use photoshop to make the layout.
    More info on clipping paths

  • Help with  songs files transfer on iPod and iTouch?

    Hey guys.
    I just got an itouch recently and I need help with something but I don't really know how to describe it so I'll try my best to put it in a way for you guys to understand. Is there an option where when you plug in the iTouch into your computer, but you don't want to transfer the songs/mp3 files you already have originally on your iPod to be automatically transfer over to your itouch? Everytime when I connect the iTouch to computer it would just copy the mp3 files over to it butI don't really want that. I just want the mp3 file to stay on the iPod only.
    Thank you, QuTran

    Does it get cut off on the iPod or in iTunes (or both)?
    Does it always happen with the same songs?
    The problem may be related to the program that was used to encode those files. Do a +Get Info+ on a few of the affected songs and see if there is anything in common where is says +Encoded with+ on the Summary tab.

  • Help with calculated column formula- combine strings and convert to date

    In my list (SharePoint Server 2013) I have:
    'Invoiced Month' column, type of choice (strings with names of months- January, February, March..., December)
    'Year' column, single line of text (e.g. 2012, 2013, 2014)
    1. I need to create a calculated column which will return combined value of the columns above, but in DATE format e.g. 'Sep-2013' or '01-Sep-2013'.
    I then use that newly created calculated column to do this: http://iwillsharemypoint.blogspot.in/2012/03/sharepoint-list-view-of-current-month.html
    I am rubbish with formulas, can I have some help with my problem please?

    Hi,
    Use the formula, I have tested by creating Months column with choice, Year column as numeric and Calculated column as DateTime returned.
    =DATE(Year,IF([Months]="January", 1,IF([Months]="February",2,IF([Months]="March",3,IF([Months]="April",4,IF([Months]="May",5,IF([Months]="June",6,IF([Months]="July",7,IF([Months]="August",8,IF([Months]="September",9,IF([Months]="October",10,IF([Months]="November",11,12))))))))))),1)
    Before applying the formula few things need to be noted.
    DATE(YEAR, MONTH,DAY) will accepts three parameters all should be type numeric(integer).
    Create the Year column of type numeric
    Create the calculated column of type "DateTime" to return as date
    Please mark it answered, if your problem resolved or helpful.

  • How to control valve via PCI6023E and labview

    I have a PCI6023 board and labview 5.1. I need to control the opening/closing of a gas valve via these two.The problem is that the power needed to operate the valve is 24 volts while the PCI6023E board has the power of only 5V. What can be done? Please help.

    Run a secondary power supply to the valve via a transistor triggered by the DAQ board. You can get a cheap AC/DC wall plug in supply for a coupla bucks and transistors are a few cents.
