How can i determine which devices are used at the moment?

Hi all,
I am designing an interface with LabVIEW for uing agilent devices. My work colleagues will use this interface. I want to determine which devices are used at the moment and if I determine used device, i will add automatically device names to interface's main vi. So all my work colleagues can see on the program which devices are used by another colleague. This devices are connected with GPIB. İ want to learn is there any function on Instrument I/O palette.
Thanks,
Omer

Hi Omer,
so those devices are connected to the PC with a GPIB connection. Will your collegues run several DAQ programs at the same time?
GPIB-devices being controlled by PC don't have a "in use"-signal. They wait for commands, execute them and send an answer. When you start to control them using two programs they may respond to both programs, mixing up settings/measurement values and so on.
That being said: In MAX you can see all devices connected to your GPIB port. You could scan the GPIB port using VISA commands in your program. You might even try to access a certain device by it's VISA alias. I really don't know if you will get a "device nopt available" error message when that VISA alias is in use by a different program - but you might do a quick test on your own…

Mifi 4620L - how do I determine which devices are using my data?

I Have a couple kids connecting to our Mifi4620 and we keep going over our 20gb data limitation. How can I find out what devices are using data and when as we. As how much so I can track down my high data usage culprit?

I have made several comments on another forum about my high data usage. The forum name is "HIGH DATA USUAGE being used". One thing I have found effective in my trouble shooting is to make sure all devices are off and will not auto connect to the WiFi.
1. Turn on the WiFi and make a log of everything that you do and with a time.
2. turn on only one device and do what ever you want to use that device for. (ALL other devices off}
3. Wait about 5 minutes when finished and then turn the MiFi off.
4. Wait 5 to 10 minutes before turning the MiFi back on to make sure all data got registered.
5. Do these steps for each device and keep a log of sites visited and what was done on each device.
6. Log into your Verizon account and go to data then down nearer the bottom there is a box where you can select a device. Select the router phone number and it will give you a detailed listing of data usage and times. The time in the listing is the time the session started and will add all data used until the MiFi session is ended. If nothing is connected it will check about about every 160 minutes ( 2 hrs. 45 minutes) you will see a small data usage. If something is connected you will see data usage every totaled every 6 hours (approximately). By turning the MiFi off you can stop the 6 hour totaling and only total the session up to that time. Of course you have to wait long enough for their computers to get the total data usage. At one time I would have to wait 3 to 4 days for some of these to show up but recently it shows up within a couple of hours and has always been updated over night. I have been downloading the detail usage since every morning since August. I made an excel spread sheet that will total on a daily basis the total data used for a day when I do a copy of my download and paste it into my spreadsheet.
I hope this helps although you might want to read the other forum, You are not alone with a problem. I hope you can solve your problem and if you would not mind posting a reply to me as to what you find if you can solve your problem. I thought my problem was solved but it is back and I have run out of ideas as to what else I can check or change. Today I went to Sprint store and can switch to one of their plans and save $18.00 per month but the problem with that is that the Sprint connection is not quite as good where I live.

How can you determine which pages are using a specific symbol?

I want to find all the pages that are using a specific symbol, but I don't know how. I can't simply switch symbols because some have specific text & want to switch them with more generic smart buttons. I'll have to find every instance to update the text.
thanks!

me too, my file has 39 pages with many unuse symbols, now I want to delete those unuse.
I found that after deleteing those unuse in Page 1, actually they are being used in other page,
I can't find the way to delete them all at one time for all pages.

How can I determine which apps are using excessive data on a Samsung Galaxy?

We have been going over our data plan for the last couple of months.

settings > data usage, then you can scroll through the list of apps that are using data
Also ensure that apps are set to either not update automatically or to update only over wi-fi (through your Google Play app settings).

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 know which file is using by the self-service workflow?

Dear all:
In my directory, there are two HRSSA.wft and How can I know which source is using by the workflow of the self-service ?
my environment is oracle 11.5.9 | self-service 4.1 | workflow builder 2.6
Thanks
regards
Terry

One way would be to download the HRSSA workflow to a wft file (using the WFLOAD utility - see MOS Doc 578248.1), then comparing this downloaded wft file with the two files you have (using a utility such as diff in Unix). The comparison that reports no differences will identify the wft that was uploaded into the database.

HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.

How can I find which applications are using the most power?

I have recently noticed a full charge of power doesn't last as long as it used to on my iPad 2. Is there some way to determine which applications are using the most power?
I have been monitoring my home network router accesses and have noticed the iPad logs accesses every 15 seconds. This only happened recently. It had been well behaved and only accessing once or twice a day before. I installed the most recent iTunes upgrade, per suggestions during a Sync. The problems seemed to occur after this update. I have gone through all the settings and have minimized the applications requiring higher power (I switch off the location services unless I'm away from home. Likewise, I turn off my cellular carrier unless I'm away from home, etc.)
In short, how can I maximize my power usage (aside from turning it off)?
Thanks.
Dave

Thanks for responding so quickly.
I'm really trying to find out why the battery is depleting much faster than it used to all of a sudden. I used to be able to put a full charge on it and it would last about 5 to 6 days with normal use (normal for me). Now that battery only lasts about 2 to 3 days with the same use.
I DO recharge it when it needs to be charged but this is indicating there is something else (new) that is causing the power drain.

How can I determine which jobs are running on NT?

Hello,
How do I determine which processes are in execution on an NT box from a JAVA

Search microsoft.com, or MSDN. That isn't anything to do with Java Programming.

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 differen

The 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. :-)

How can I determine which codec to use?

I'm using PE7 on a PC. I have HD video shot with a Canon. Each video - there are six of them - is less than five minutes. After I finished editing, I uploaded them to youtube and emailed a link to my client, but my client complained that they were out of focus. I explained that it was the compression that youtube uses, and that I'd render them to disk for him to look at.
Trouble is, I can't figure out which codec to use. All I know is that I want clear, sharp video, suitable for posting on the net. These are scientific videos, showing some chemical processes involving gasoline with ethanol and water.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
TIA

I guess I need to explain better. The HD videos I'm editing will not end up on youtube, but will be posted on a government agency's website. I originally posted them on youtube just so the client could take a look without me having to attempt to email large video files or burn to disk, since the client is in a different location from me.
The area of video editing and production that I'm the least knowledgeable - and therefore the most insecure - is when I attempt to render and save a video. Every video project I go through the same frustration of having a project that I'm happy with, but having a final product that either 1) does not look at all sharp or 2) results in a file size which is too large. In this case, since the final video files will be posted online, they need to be small enough for viewing over the net while maintaining enough sharpeness and quality that the video does not look out of focus.
If you take a look at this video, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_X0IKPJrng you can see why my client thought it was out of focus. However, I know that the original footage is very sharp.This link is only temporary, as I've already been told that the agency I work for will not allow them to be posted on youtube.
So, my question is, when I'm rendering and saving a video project from PE7, how do I know what settings to use for the highest quality, yet smallest file size? The manual does not go into much detail about the pros and cons of various codecs, nor does it say much about what settings do what. It's like Adobe expects me to already know this information.
Is the problem with the video above simply that youtube compresses the videos I upload? Is Vimeo a better site to upload videos and maintain sharpness? In PE7, is there a way to set it up to upload to Vimeo, or should I render and save as an MP2 or MP4 file and then manually upload?
Surely there's a site which goes into much greater details about the various settings I can use in PE, and how those settings affect the final viewing product.
Thanks a lot for your help. I realize my questions show an extreme lack of experience, but that's why I'm here, right?

Multiple users on one apple account. How can I see which devices were used to purchase apps?

I share my apple account with my three children. Inappropriate apps were purchased. Everyone denied making the purchase. Is there anyway I can find out which device made these purchases?

If only one of them purchased the app(s), wouldn't it only be on that one device (plus the computer's iTunes library if you have automatic downloads turned on)?

How can i see which items are taking up the most disk space

I have a Titanium PowerBook G4 with a 20GB hard drive. I'm currently using 15GB. I have tried searching through my hard drive to see which programs are taking up the most space. When I add up the totals of the various folders, etc., it's not 15GB worth. I feel like some items must be nested somehow, making them difficult to find. Is there some way to search your computer by size of items? I know that opening the hard drive and clicking on the size tab will sort things according to size. However, the folders don't show their size unless you click on them individually. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

While viewing a Finder window go to View>Show View Options, put a check in the box for 'Calculate All Sizes'. This is a setting you don't normally want to have turned on as it slows down the refresh when you switch windows, so you might want to remove the check once you identify the disk hogs.
BTW- You can free up a lot of disk space & RAM if you remove any fonts that you & the OS don't really need. You may also have a great deal of space taken up by unnecessary printer drivers, not to mention the plethora of ReadMes & other 'goodies' that get added when you install software.

I keep getting a message about my phone number being used for iMessage on a new iPhone. How can I see what devices are using my iMessage account and phone number?

The message "Your phone number is now being used for imessage on a new iPhone" Keeps appearing on my macbook pro. It also says "If you just activated iMessage on a new iPhone, you can ignore this alert." But the only option is to ignore the alert, because the only thing I can do with it is click "ok" and dismiss it. Is there a way I can look at a list of the devices using my iMessage account, and if there are devices that I don't recognize on that list, how can I block them from using my account?

Hi If you have another Apple device check on that screen & accept. Cheers Brian
