How can I get MAX to scan for instruments on bootup?

I would like to setup MAX (or whatever SW component) to scan for GPIB instruments each time the computer is booted up. I've had one strange case where MAX somehow "lost" it's GPIB instrument configuration and the only way to recover was to manually start MAX and do a scan for instruments. I already do this for the VXI resource manager.
PS - I see the VISA configuration file, visaconfig.ini, has an "AlwaysRefresh" option line. Is there anyway to set this short of a direct edit?
Thanks,
Ed Perkins

Scott - If I understand you correctly I should be able to do the following:
1. Disconnect the IEEE-488 cable from my computer.
2. Manually start MAX and tell it to scan instruments (which it will find none).
3. Plug the IEEE cable back in and re-run my application (it uses VISA to control both IEEE-488 and VXI instruments) successfully.
Correct?
What prompted this thread was one strange event. After successfully running our app the previous night (and leaving everything powered up) the app failed all IEEE calls the next morning. When we went into MAX it mysteriously showed no IEEE instruments. Nothing solved the problem (computer reboots, etc.) until we forced MAX to do an instrument refresh. Perhaps something else did go on, but I thought
running MAX and forcing an instrument refresh on each boot-up (much like running the VXI Resource Manager) would be a prudent prevention approach, especially since the station operators don't even know about MAX.
Thanks,
Ed Perkins

How can I get the elapse time for execution of a Query for a session

Hi ,
How can I get the elapse time for execution of a Query for a session?
Example - I have a report based on the procedure ,when the user execute that it takes say 3 min. to return rows.
Is there any possible way to capture this session info. for this particular execution of query along with it's execution elapse time?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
You can use the dbms_utility.get_time tool (gives binary_integer type value).
1/ Initialize you time and date of beginning :
v_beginTime := dbms_utility.get_time ;
2/ Run you procedure...
3/ Get end-time with :
v_endTime := dbms_utility.get_time ;
4/ Thus, calculate elapsed time by difference :
v_elapsTime := v_endTime - v_beginTime ;
This will give you time elapsed in of 100th of seconds...
Then you can format you result to give correct print time.
Hope it will help you.

Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them. They may let you redownload it at no cost.

If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again. Sorry.

The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.

There is no serial number and you don't need one. What you need for a subscription is to SIGN IN within Acrobat, so it knows the subscriptions you own.

I have a GCC Expert 24 plotter running on OS X and the direct cut plugin is only compatible with CS5 or earlier.
I have tried asking in support chat but it never actually works, my next option is to ring or get a cracked version but i'm trying to avoid both of those options if I can.
Thanks.

xdmg,
In addition to what Lutz said, unless you buy a CS5 that is still new and unused, you will need a licence transfer through Adobe,

and the application must be deactivated on any machine it has been installed on.

You cannot use a SIM card on a carrier locaked phone, other than a sim from the carrier the phone is locked to. You must first get the carrier it is locked to, to unlock your phone. Apple does not unlock phones.

How can i get a specific tone for my vip email alert. all tones are in my ringtones, but only some show up in the alerts for email.

Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.
