How can I programatically change the slave acquisition mode of my pci-1409?

In my LabVIEW application I need to be able to programmatically change the slave acquisition mode from standard to external HV lock. I couldn't find this property listed in the property node.

Nan,
When you change this property in MAX, you are actually modifying the camera file for the session (*.icd file). These file can be modified just like a text file. You could programtically modify parse and modify the "SlaveAcqMode (STANDARD)" line in the camera file to reflect the mode you want to use. Below is a KB that explains how to parse and modify an *.iid file, you can use the same method on the icd file.

How can I programatically change the Plot Style of a 3D surface?

I believe this can be done using a property node...however I am unable to find the property. At one point in my program, the plot style automatically switches to Points, and I want it to be Surface again later. I have a 3D surface reference wired to a property node, giving me the CWGraph3D properties. If the properties followed the menu style you get from right clicking on the 3d surface, I should be able to then select the property plots, and change the plot style. However, even though I can get a reference to the plot, the only property I can access is the count. I would appreciate it if someone could show me where I am going wrong, since Im confident this can be changed programatically.
Thank you!

How do I programaticly change the header BG color on a multiline listbox

How do I programaticly change the header BG color on a multiline listbox

Hi,
If you mean the multicolumn listbox then you have to create the its property node on the diagram (right click on the item and select "Create->property node" from pop-up menu). Then you have to select two properties:
"Active Cell"
"Cell Background color".
You can do it by expanding prperty node to 2 rows and right clicking on each row. Then select "Properties" from pop-up menu and the appropriate property.
Then you have to set-up "active cell" to the appropriate coordinates of the column header. (row=-1; column=N or column=-2 if you want to change the colors of all headers).
Now you have to connect the appropriate colorbox or numeric variable to "Cell Background color" property node and run the program.
I've attached the example.
Good luck/

Is there a Measurement Studio for VisualBasic DAQ control to do this?

I am either in the wrong location or have a different layout than you.
Apple button > system preferences > keyboard and mouse > mouse tab > then all I have are the options to change the tracking speed, scrolling speed, double-click speed, and which button is required to zoom with the scroll wheel. The only drop-down menu I have on this screen is to select which button + scroll wheel allows me to zoom.

How can I manually change the height of the "Type ...

Hi all
Just got automatically installed the latest 6.22 version of skype few minutes ago and I got a few questions.
First and foremost, how can I MANUALLY change the height of the textbox, where I type the messages. I would like to make it larger, like in the previous versions of skype. I don't want to move my mouse cursor through the entire monitor to reach this tiny textbox.
And second, why you guys are trying constanly to ruin something that is working perfectly ? Going to revert to the previous version until you fix all these nuisances.
Regards

There is no way to do this, it is designed to be strictly landscape with keyboard, portrait without - not the best thought-out phone on the market, mainly geared towards compulsive texters and e-mailers.
There's no way to know whetherNokia will change this with any future updates, perhaps you should make the recommendation to them directly using the 'contact us' link.

How can you add/change the currency rate in spro?

Hi all,
you can add a new currency code by going to spro --- general settings --- check currency codes
for example: PERU ---> PEN
But, how can we add/change the currency rate PEN in spro?
for example: Peruvian Nuevo Sol = 4,3567619
Is it still in customizing? And if so, where can i find it?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Pamela.

Hi Aman,
I have entered the field to add the new currency rate.
But the system doesn't want to valid my new rate.
I get the following error message:
"Input should be in the form ._,____ "
Do you know how to override that command?
Thanks.

Pamela

How can I programatically change a reference to an item in a cluster?

Hello!
I'm trying to programatically change the text background color of the elements in a large cluster.
I'm using LabVIEW 2010 SP1. Attached is a test vi that I'm expermimenting with. The test cluster has 6 elements and the final cluster will have 140.
All elements will be the same data type.
Based on the rate of change of the element value, I have to change the background color.
Instead of creating a reference for each element in the cluster (as in my test vi), I'm looking for a way of changing the reference programatically. Is there a way?
I'm also considering building an array of references as a brute force alternative but I would like to see if there is something more elegant / efficient first!
Am I making sense?
thanks,
mike

Mike,
You can get references to the elements inside the cluster from the cluster reference using property node: All Objects[]. This is an array of references to the controls inside the cluster.
Another way which might have advantages is to put a color box indicator behind each numeric. Color the numeric backgrounds Transparent. Then write the color to the color box. I did a quick modification to your VI to show this possibility. I did not adjust the size of the color box to match the numeric to emphasize what I did.

Another note: If any of your users are color blind some of the combinations (black on red) might not be very visible.

How can I programmatically change the voltage range settings in a DAQ Assistant

Hi,
First post here.
I need to be able to change the voltage range properties of a daqmx DAQ Assistant based on user input. My hardware, an SCXI-1102C does not allow changing this property on a running task, so I'd like to either set the analog input voltage range before the DAQ Assistant activates, or pause the DAQ Assistant immediately after it starts, set the values and then resume.
I don't know how to edit the task ahead of time because the DAQ assistant creates the task when it runs, and there is no task before that.
In the attached picture, I have a conditional section, set to run only if the while loop iteration is 0. I take the task from the Daq assistant, send it to a stop task vi, set the property, and then send the task on to the start task vi. I can watch it run with the debug light on, and everything seems to work correctly, but on the second (and all the other) iteration of the loop, I read out AI.Max and it seems like the DAQ Assistant has re set it back to 5V. Can anyone see what is going wrong here?
BTW, this is continuous acquisition and the code does not produce error messages when it runs.
I did come across a similar question that someone posted here back in 2006, but his question was specifically aimed at a Labview API (VB, I think), and not an actual G solution.
Attached are the actual vi in question and a png image of the block diagram.
Thanks!

First, if you want to start getting beyond the basics with DAQ, you are going to have to stop using the DAQ assistant and do it with lower level DAQmx VI's. There are hundreds of examples in the example finder. You can even right click on the DAQ assistant and select open front panel. That will create a subVI that you can open and see what is going on behind the scenes. Do it. I think you'll find the DAQ task is being recreated on each (though I'm not 100% of how the settings are established or maintained in each section of that subVI).
The second problem is you have a bit of a race condition on iteration 0. Those two DAQ property nodes are running at the same time. So when you read the AI.Max, it may be happening before or after the AI.Max is set in your case structure.
Third, make sure you wire up your error wires.

How can I always change the color of certain letters?

I know that sounds weird. But hear me out.
I was reading an article about synaesthesia, and it seems that reading with certain letters always displaying in a certain color can do interesting things.
I'm not trying to do anything too crazy, just a little experiment on myself.
So I'm wondering if anybody knows how I may change the color of certain letters on my Mac? I realize that'll make some interfaces look screwy, and in some instances it may not be possible - but is there a way?
Thanks!

You and me both, let's wait and see what other say. My guess would be that modifications of that type aren't possible w/o some serious "modifications" i.e. hacks, if even via that method, specifically regarding the operating system.

How can I permanently change the orientation of an I-Phone MOV file.

I'm trying to burn DVDs for family members from some wedding videos I took with my I-Phone. Because I held the I-Phone in an upright, or "portrait" position, the normal playback comes through in a "landscape" orientation with the images laying sideways. Within QuickTime Pro, I'm able to rotate the viewing angle by 90 degrees to be viewed properly, but when I save the adjusted settings, the original file remains unchanged in its "un-rotated" format. How can I change the actual, native file format so that the orientation is correct for a DVD playback that does not have the benefit of QuickTime functionality?

The "normal" size of the source video is 1920 pixels wide x 1080 pixels high. My goal is to crop some of both the top and bottom of the display area so as to reduce the size of the pillar box effect when I export the file in the 90-degree rotated position. Within Photoshop I made as many as 12 different variations of masks using the same 1920x1080 dimensions. But when I apply the masks, the resulting views I get are bottom left, bottom right, bottom middle, etc., but none of the masks will display any portion of the top half of my source video?
Maybe it would be easier to run through the entire strategy here. First of all you have determine your workflow.
1) First of all you have to decide if you are making a data DVD (one that plays on a computer) or a normal DVD that is to be played on a commercial DVD player. Based on your previous comments, I had assumed you wanted the latter.
2) The next step is to decide which DVD standard you need for the DVD player. Am assuming you are creating an NTSC DVD here which means your final encode matrix will be 720x480.
3) The next step is to decide whether you are creating a widescreen or a full screen DVD. I.e., you need to decide whether you need to mask or crop your content to a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio.
4) At this point I would decide upon a specific workflow strategy—i.e., whether to crop or mask the content. Since you mention the creation of masks, I assume this is your preference.
5) Having answered the above questions, I would now open the rotated file in QT 7 Pro as a 1080x1920 display file.
6) At this point I would probably scale the display dimensions as needed to most easily work at your preferred target aspect ratio. By this I mean your maximum width is 1080 which works well at a 4:3 aspect (1080x810) but not so well as 16:9 aspect (1080x607.5) mask. Obviously in the latter case dimensions something like 960x540 would be easier to work with and I would likely "scale" the display width to 960 in the "Keep Aspect" mode and allow QT 7 Pro to scale the verticle dimension as it pleases.
7) Now is the time to create the white mask background at the same dimensions as your scaled or unscaled display screen as currently open in QT 7 Pro.
8) To create the actual mask, you now black out the area (e.g., 1080x810 within a 1080x1920 screen or 960x540 within your "scaled" display screen) you want to display in your final DVD. This area can be centered or offset high or low to center the focus of attention in your final DVD.
9) Once you have finished step 8, you can export your properly oriented and masked content to any compression formats compatible with your DVD authoring application which will properly scale, convert, and author the content for DVD burning according to the proper widescreen or full screen settings selected by you.

How can I permanently change the date format from the American format to the UK's without having to constantly change it manually every time I start a new spreadsheet?

This is my first mac so I'm still getting my bearings with it. I've only used Windows programmes before. I can't understand why it's so hard to change the date format of the cells in Numbers to keep it showing the UK format. The system preferences of the mac show that it's in the correct region and has the correct date but this doesn't seem to transfer into the Numbers program. I was very impressed with the mac until I discovered this. If anyone knows how I can get the date to stay in the correct format without having to go through the process of altering it in the cell inspector everytime then I would be very grateful.

Numbers & most apps, especially those from Apple, use the date format you have set in System Preferences > Language & Text > Region. You can then choose UK from the Region drop-down list. Mine says Custom because I've defined things further as in the second screenshot.

How can I temporarily change the Apple ID on an iPad

I would like to share a book with my wife on her iPad. Can I temporarily change her account to just share the book and not disturb our individual apps?

If you mean that the iPad is tied to another user's iCloud account, you have to ask them to erase the device for you. You can't do it on your own. The device requires their Apple ID and password in order to turn off Find My iPad and to delete the iCloud account.
IF you just want to sign into another Apple ID (not recommended either) go to Settings>iTunes and App store>Apple ID and sign out of that ID and sign into your ID,
