How can I determine programmatically which plot the cursor is snapped to?
The waveform graph cursor legend shows name of plot currently snapped to (in snap to any plot mode), even as user moves cursor to different plot. But there is no property to read this plot name! Active Plot and Plot Name do not update as user drags cursor to different plots. I'll try to cast the cursor reference to something useful while I wait for a response.
You cannot move the cursor from one plot to another unless it's single-plot (free and multiplot are the only other choices, and if it's free it doesn't snap, right?) mode AND the plot property is a "-1". Try it. I'm using probes and an event case in a while loop (but without a stop button and wait "statement"/primitive ). That's how I know it's "-1", until I implemented the solution I mentioned above.
I reproduced your test code (complete with stop button and wait) and got the same results you did, as expected. The problem with test code is it rarely does anything useful. Try reproducing my case by putting a case structure in your test code wired to a "free" boolean; in the false case put a "1" wired out to a Cursor.CursorMode property and a "0" wired out to a Cursor.Plot property; in the true case put a "0" wired out to the Cursor.CursorMode prop and a "-1" wired out to the Cursor.Plot prop. With "free" = False you won't be able to snap to any other plot; with "free" = True Cursor.Plot will, of course be a "-1", no matter where it is, since it is "free". Bear in mind that I need to give the user the ability to select a plot, click a button, then change that plot's data by clicking and dragging the cursor (the data at the cursor's x coord changes to the the value of the cursor's y coord); when the user clicks the button to change back to the "don't change data, just select a plot" mode, the cursor needs to snap to its current location, which is the last changed data point of the plot that he just changed the data of. If you can come up with an alternative solution to mine, I'd love to hear/see it!
But my real point, since I found a viable solution to the immediate problem, is that there is cursor information presented to the user in the cursor list box that I can't get at programmatically! And this is info I could have used to solve my original problem! I don't understand why NI wouldn't have made a property for it like they have for other, much less useful, bits of info.

How can I determine what is running in the background on my ipad?
I have had my Ipad for 6 months. I use wi-fi and cellular 250MB data plan. I have never exceeded 250 MB in a month. This month I ran out of data in 5 days. Also, I usually get a couple of days before I have to recharge. Now I need to recharge in less than a day. The only thing I can think is something is running in the background. Is there a way to see what is running in the background (this is my first apple product, I have always used windows products so I am not sure I am using the apple nomenclature), I have rebooted so I will see if that fixes the problem. I am curious to see what is happening in the background
A double click on the Home button will reveal a tray containing all apps that are currently running (suspended?).
Side swiping this will reveal as many as are active, with a swipe to the right when on the first display will reveal further controls for the iPad, mainly relating to the iPod part, but also containing a screen lock option I believe.
Click and hold any one of them till they 'jiggle' and show a - you can then click this to remove it, relaunching the app as required in the normal way.

How can you determine at runtime which libraries are attached?
Hi
I am wondering if there is a way to determine which libraries are currently attached to a form at runtime. My application is in forms 10g.
I am hoping to get the full path so that it is possible to show this in an information type display. I am ideally looking for a solution that works on both Unix and Windows so that it can be used in development and production
thanks in advance
WayneI am curious, why you want to know which library is attached and the full path??? You cannot change it at runtime!!
I don't think that's possible at runtime by using Generic Forms built-ins, But as always with Oracle, you can have several solutions.
One solution is to initialize global variables/parameters in PRE-FORM and later you can read them and see the values and do whatever you want accordingly.
When using Global variables, you can test for their DEFAULT_VALUE to check whether the variable exists or not, this will prevent getting an error if the variable hasn't been initialized yet.

How can I determine which computer a share is connected to in /Volumes from terminal or a script?
I run a set of virtual machines via Fusion on an iMac that we run automated tests on for our website. There is a folder on each VM called /Automation that is shared.
I have a python script that runs on the host, that will find an open VM, start it up and then mount the VM's /Automation folder. So if there is only 1 VM powered on, the folder shows up in /Volumes as /Volumes/Automation. The problem is when there are 2 or more VM's powered on, because then the shares start being named /Volumes/Automation-1 and Automation-2 etc. So my question is, how can I determine which computer each share belongs to from terminal or a script?
In other words, I'm looking for something like:
/Volumes/Automation = "FirstVirtualMachineName.local"
/Volumes/Automation-1 = "SecondVirtualMachineName.local"
Is there any way to determine which computer a mounted share is connected to? In the past, I've just unmounted all /Automation folders, and then mounted them in a particular order, but that's unreliable and messy in my opinion. If anyone knows a better way, please let me know. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,Well I think I have a workable solution. It's not perfect, but I think it will do the trick. I can put a spotlight comment on the folder similar to 'HostName=OSX-Automation-1.local' and can then retrieve that value from our server with the following python snippet:
import subprocess
out,err = subprocess.Popen(['osascript','-e','tell application \"Finder\" to get comment of \"Macintosh HD:Volumes:Automation-1\"'],stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE).communciate()
So I could just loop through each 'Automation*' folder in /Volumes and grab the name from the spotlight attributes on the directories. I don't think I really need to worry about the comments being overwritten, but I may have one of our launch daemons that run on the VM check that spotlight comment once a minute or something to ensure that the correct value is there.
If it ends up not working well in practice, I'm going to give your suggestion about a config script a shot. It would require a little more up front work, but seems as if it would be pretty solid after that.
Thanks again for helping me think it through -
I have about 5,000 images in a Folder. How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?
I have about 5,000 images in a Folder. How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?
Create a smart collection with criteria "collection" and "does not contain"; and also with criterion Folder contains (or folder contains all)
That works if you are thinking about a specific named collection.
If you are interested in finding photos that are not in ANY collection, the usual trick is "collection" "does not contain" "a e i o u y" -
How can I determine which browser is used(Microsoft IE or Netscape)
As you probely know: Netscape doesn't support the same functionality as IE.
To gain the maxium functionality from IE without solving problems in Netscape, the customer has decided to work with two different stylesheets(one for IE and one for Netscape).
Now my question is, how can I determine in Portal in which browser(IE or Netscape) it is running.
Thanks
arny
Therefor we are using two differenThe browser ID string is a HTTP request parameter. How you get to it depends entirely on what you're programming in. You want to get the value of the User-Agent parameter (for example, in CGI, this is HTTP_USER_AGENT).
However, I'd advise against doing things this way unless you really understand how HTTP works on many levels. One common problem people run into on sending different content based on the browser is that proxy servers will happily cache everything and send content intended for one browser to another.
I have not seen any IE functionality that Netscape does not also have that is worth this hassle, but that's just my very stubborn opinion. :-) -
I store different channels in a TDMS file.
I like to have a time channel at the first position with group index 1 and number 1.
When I read the TDMS file with DIADEM the time channel (Float64) is on a differernt position, and the channels are not sorted alphabetically.
Here are my questions:
How does DIADEM import TDMS files?
How gets every channel his number and groupindex?
How can I determine which channel has which groupindex and number?
Best regards
JoergHi Jörg,
i suppose that you´re programme whose create the *.tdms file is writing on false position. Try to create datas with timechannel on first indes in diadem, then save it and then open it again. you see that all is correct. So please tell me what programm in what version do you use and please attache it here.
Did you use the library for creating *.tdms files like in the link ?
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6471
Here you find the gtdms_8.x.zip - when you extract it and opened the *.llb you find vi´s for all functions e.g. writing 2d array of strings to *.tdms file
when you open the subvi´s then you see how created and writing datas/structure to *.tdms files. Because *.tdms is binary you can´t see structure with open it in editor.
When you don´t have Labview you can use the 30 days test of current version 8.5 under following link

Hi jrector3,
You need to go to the respective machines and launch Acrobat and check if it prompts for serial number.

How can I determine which image was clicked in 3D carousel?
I have been modifying some 3D carousel code that I found in hopes that I can get it such that when image "resolv2.jpg" (or any of my other images) is clicked on at the front of my carousel, it goes to a specific webpage. By just replacing "moveBack(event.target) from the toggler section of the code with "navigateToURL:(newURLRequest('http://google.com'), the target DOES sucessfully go to google when clicked on. However, I want to modify this code by altering the else statement to say something to the effect of "else if event.target (clicked on object) is 'resolv2.jpg' THEN go to google". So essentially, my question is how can I determine which image was clicked? Here is the entire code with the area I was altering bolded:
