How can I detect an external trigger and then generate an event or occurance

I have a PXIe-1065 chassis with a PXIe8030 controller, PXI-6653 timing module, PXI-6542 Digital IO, and PXI-6259 DAQ board, running LabView 8.5. I need to detect a trigger (100 ns TTL pulse) from an external device then start a process on a GPIB device. Is there a way for me to detect this trigger and then generate an event, or an occurance ? Can I do this without polling a device? Can any of this hardware generate an interrupt that LabView can detect?

My screenshot was only an example how you can approach the issue. I wasnt saying that you should try it with AI....
Just take a closer look into the DAQmx Events and you will discover something like this:
hope this helps,

How can I load movie on (onPress) and then check if the invoked has not been called by any other members before? Thx

Hello Everyone,
I would highly appreciate your wisdom and advice on this
functionality. Lets say I have two
movieclips on the stage(ClipA, ClipB). I would like user to
be able to click on any of them and, this click
will invode a createclip function which pretty much creates a
dynamic movieclip and loads
whatever I assign to it such other existing clips within the
library. The only problem I have
makeing the functionality work is that I would like to limit
the function call to one at a time.
So if the user clicks on ClipA, function createclip would get
invoke and will attach the assigned
movie clip. And when user clicks on ClipB, I would like to
end the function call that was invoked
by the ClipA and then then allow ClipB to invoke the
function.
Pretty much it would a logic like:
if(createClip = true)
end it;
else
createClip();
When a movie is attached, can it be unloaded or unattached?
I don't know how to write a function that would check if
function createClip() has
already been invoked. I would highly appreciate any direction
in this.

If the objective is just to get a unique list of authors based on your key, you could use the REPLACE statement in MySQL which functions as an "insert on duplicate key update" type of construct.
[http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replace.html|http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replace.html]
Catching an exception to detect dupes is functional but not very elegant. If you use REPLACE then you know your statements will always work. The drawback is that the statement is not portable across databases.

How can I wipe the Launchpad clean and then repopulate it to my spec?

As I delete apps from my system they seem to linger on the LaunchPad. Some are easily removed by simply holding down the option key and clicking the 'x' that appears. But this does not apply to system apps or some others like Lightroom. How can I go about this?

This procedure will reset the state of LaunchPad to its default. Any customization that you did will be removed.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/Dock
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it are one or more files with long names ending in ".db". Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the folder open. Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, put the files you moved back where they were, overwriting the ones that may have been created in their place. Then log out and in again. Otherwise, delete the files you moved.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How can I deactivate an iPhone 5 and then activate it on a current prepaid plan?

My son left his iPhone 5 when he moved saying he didn't want it. (teen temper tantrum) After 6 mos we might as well get some use out of it since we paid for it. How can I deactivate it (it has been restored to factory default) and then activate it on my current prepaid plan with my number?
I have no passwords/icloud/apple id information and won't likely get it from him. Is there another option? Thanks

missgen, as a mother of a 16 year old, I know all about temper tantrums. Let's not let that device go to waiste. You can hard reset that device by connecting it to a computer with iTunes downloaded to it. Once you connect the device, it will open iTunes. You will be provided with the option to "Use Recovery Mode." For your convenience, I've provided a very helpful link with the steps to reset that phone's password: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Once the password has been reset, you can master that reset that device in Settings>General>Reset>"Erase All Content & Settings"
I trust that these steps are helpful to you. Keep us posted. We're standing by to further assist you if needed.

How can I add three binary numbers and then convert to string (Hex format)?

Hi All,
I have my problem "half" resolved, but need some assistance on the final piece. Overall, I need to take three string values (hex format), convert them to binary, add them and then convert back to a string (hex format). If that doesn't make sense maybe this will:
Final Result (My target) = 0xCC
= 0x03 + 0x01 + 0x04
          = 0x03; 0011b
          = 0x01; 0001b
         = 0x04; 0100b
For my app, we are dropping "masking" some of the bits so that we get 1 byte:
          = 0x03; 11b
          = 0x01; 001b
          = 0x04; 100b
So...
11001100b = 0xCC
In my VI, I am taking each initial string [0x03,0x01 and 0x04] type casting them to U8. Next I need to "mask" the binary values as shown above and then add them. I am not sure how to do this in LV??
Thanks for the help,
Bryan

Hi Bryan,
there's a conversion palette in the string palette, ever looked at those functions?
The rest is pure simple math:
It's the straight-forward way, there are other possibilities too!

How can I duplicate a smart object and then edit it, without affecting the original?

I have a vector element from illustrator that I am placing in a tshirt mockup in photoshop. I have the layout essentially how I would like, but I am trying different color variations. I would think to just duplicate the first placement and then edit the color of the resulting copy, but this affects both the copy and the original. I looked into it a bit further, and found that I should try the "replace contents" option under smart objects, and that this would change the copy. So I go back to illustrator, made a copy of the original vector, and then made the color change I had in mind, and then saved it as a separate document that I could then use in replacing the contents of the copied. This however, is still affecting both smart objects!
I have tried this as both linked smart objects and embedded smart objects without success.
Ultimately, I simply want to maintain the position of the original layer with the duplicated and edited layers. If you know of a better way, please share!

I'm on CC on a Mac.
What 21 is talking about is making some sense.
I am able to create new smart object via copy, then create a variation on the original file linked in the parent smart object. Then I save that from illustrator with a different file name. Then I go back to photoshop and replace contents of the new smart object, linking it to the newer illustrator file.
This gets around the problem, but it takes a few more steps than the same thing did it in earlier versions of photoshop.

How can I archive little used contacts and then reuse?

I have about 400 or so contacts in Address Book, some of them I want to keep but as they are related to old projects I've worked on I don't want them in my active Address Book (which syncs to my phone).
What is the best way/what are the alternative ways of doing this?
Ideally I want my 'live contacts' in address Book and Phone but my other contacts saved somewhere easily accessible as sometimes I will need to pull them into my 'live contacts again for a while.
Solutions much appreciated
(I'm running Tiger on my iMac and Leopard on my PG, currently if that makes any difference}

do an archive, file>export>address book archive, and archive that Ab with a specific name, then when you need that archive, you can archive the "live contacts" with another archive name, and then import that first archive and so on and so forth...
hope this helps

How can I make media go offline and then reconnect?

Dear All,
I'm using Final Cut Express 2. I've been editing a film composed entirely of stills (the only transitions apart from straight cuts are dissolves and one Ken Burns effect). I'm still a beginner and have been told that I need to make the original images ready for exporting in DV-Pal format by adjusting them in Photoshop. I've done this, but now I need to import the new (adjusted) files from the new folder. Problem is, FC Express keeps opening the original media and I can't get it to go offline so that I can reconnect to the new folder. I really don't want to have to replace every image and transition individually. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
Roger

Dear Michel,
Bonjour à vous!
Thanks for your speedy and helpful reply. But it doesn't work! I've tried doing what you said - trashing the old folder and then relaunching FCE - but it resolutely comes up with the original files in the browser and timeline. (I checked that they're the same ones by looking at the 'date modified'). Any further ideas?
Thanks again,
Roger

I'm afraid I may have a trojan. How can I detect it for sure, and how can I get rid of it?

Hi,
Using Safari, I typed "gmail" into the URL field, as I always do, and another website came up predictively from just the letters "gm". This is a website I know I have never been to, GMF, Inc. I am the only person using this computer, so I know it was not in the history from another user. In fact, I have not been able to find the GMF website anywhere in my history. Also, sometimes when I use Safari, I see little white boxes that flash, and they look like they are websites loading, but then disappearing. There was a software update that was supposed to cure "white flashes" in Safari, but it did not work in my case. What can I do? Do I have to reinstall the system software? (BTW, using OS 10.6.8 on Macbook Pro 13"). Thank you!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are several lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. A text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(x|postfix|ntp|cups)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item'
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

How can I uninstall Xerox print drivers and then reinstall them again

Somehow I installed the wrong print drivers for our xerox printers running on the latest version of leopard and installing the correct driver doesn't seem to solve the problem. I want to remove all xerox driver files and reinstall the correct version of the driver.

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

I buy a movie how can i geift it to itunes and then my ipad

if i buy a movie how do i get it on itunes then on my ipad

Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

How can I detect a dialog and respond?

I'm having trouble doing something that's probably not that hard. I'm trying to "Print to PDF" a bunch of old AppleWorks documents. When you open a document created in AppleWorks v6 it opens right up, but when you open a document created in AppleWorks 5 you get a dialog box that says, "This document was created by a previous version of AppleWorks. A copy will be opened and "[v6.0]" will be added to the filename."
Right now I open the file and then:
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
        activate
        repeat while not (exists front document)
                delay .2
        end repeat
end tell
When the dialog box pops up, there's no front document so the whole thing freezes until you hit OK. How can I detect this dialog box and dismiss it?
Thanks
PS
When the box is open I ran this and got this result:
/usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get properties of windows of application process "AppleWorks 6"'

Hi,
The simplest would be to set the application preferences in the script.
Like this :
-- *** set prefs ****
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
      activate
      set oldPrefs to its preferences
      copy oldPrefs to tPrefs
      tell tPrefs
            set old version warning to false --doesn't show the old version warning alert
            set converted file suffix to true -- append “[v6.0]” to documents converted from older formats
            set locked file warning to false
            set paint reduction warning to false
      end tell
      set preferences to tPrefs
end tell
-- *** end set prefs ****
--**** your script, example ***
set tfiles to choose file with multiple selections allowed
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
      repeat with i in tfiles
            open i
            tell front document
                  -- do something
            end tell
      end repeat
end tell
--**** end your script ***
-- *** reset prefs ****
tell application "AppleWorks 6" to set preferences to oldPrefs

I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

It's almost impossible. The new iMacs have a Target Display Mode, but it's built to do that. Without ripping your screen out, finding an acceptable power supply, frame, and whatever electronics to convert a Thunderbolt signal to the screen, the cost will be much larger than buying a cheaper HiDef monitor that runs with an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable to your MacBook 15. In fact, you can sell your 17" MBP for a lot of money, unless it's broken or something, buying you a really sweet monitor.
By the way, I found your answer by searching this forum. I would suggest using the search function here in the futuere.

How can I back up only iTunes and iPhoto to an external HDD

How can I back up only iTunes and iPhoto, so I can reformat my computer and restore the files in these two programs? I have an external, but its not big enough to create a time machine copy of my HDD. I have an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I am also running Windows 8 via Parallels and I would prefer to keep this partition in tact, but if thats not possible I'll re instal that program.
Some how Mackeeper and a couple other shady programs have been installed on my computer and what I want to do is reformat my computer.

You could drag the iPhoto and iTunes folders to the external drive and move them back later.
However, it might be easier to just remove MacKeeper and other adware.
See the post by John Galt in this thread about removing MacKeeper.
