How can I read the active (plugged in) DAQs and then send that to the device name input on DAQ assist?

I have a system property node for daqmx but it does not let me change it to read when i right click on it. I am trying to have my program detect the name of the daq that is plugged in to the PC and then send that to daq assistant so that it will run properly wiithout me manually having to change the device name every time i switch hardware.
Solved!

You have do do programming.  That is what LabVIEW is.  MAX gives you all the tools to do everything you want and much more just program it to do what you want.
Attached is a VI that I think does what you want.  I looks at all of your devices and returns the first non simulated one.  Apparently this list already excludes devices not connected to the system.

  • I'm told there is a virus associated with Adobe Reader. How can I tell if my machine is effected and if so what is the cure. I'm running OS X10.6.8 on an iMac with safari 5.1.5

    I'm told there is a virus associated with Adobe Reader. How can I tell if my machine is effected and if so what is the cure. I'm running OS X10.6.8 on an iMac with safari 5.1.5

    There are no viruses currently affecting the Mac but there is something called Flashback which is malware that has been doing the rounds and affected many Mac users. Apple have released some updates to Java that should remove it and improve protection. Run Software Update to see if there is anything for downloading.
    A few precautions that can help prevent your Mac becoming infected:
    If you use Flash only download it directly from Adobe.
    In all web browsers disable Java (but do leave Javascript on as that's something else).
    In all web browsers make sure downloaded files aren't set to automatically open after downloading.
    Consider disabling Java completely (launch Java Preferences in the Utilities folder and disable it - you'll likely rarely, if ever need it. If you do just turn it on and off again when your done).

    how can i extract a person from a picture and then animate the person

    Basically you select the person using the various selection tools, copy the selection to the clipboard, and paste the selection onto the destination picture. Then use the Move tool to resize/reposition the person as necessary. Here is a tutorial demonstrating this as well as some advanced techniques.

  • How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?

    Hi,
    How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?
    I've got a new computer and I want to uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on the new system. Maybe I'm overlooking something, but a bunch of other applications have easy 'uninstall' functions right in the application toolbar. Why doesn't Quicktime?????
    Thanks.

    I've read that Q/T is not just a simple application but in reality, a major component of the OS. This is where it varies from other similar acting apps like WMV, AVI, FLV etc. To butress this statement, in a vague way, I remember seeing a graphic of the Mac OS when Apple was first pushing "X". QuickTime was in the same general area of depth in programming as UNIX.
    So, you might not want to delete all of QuickTime just the Reg Key which should/could/might put you back to the non Q/T Pro functionality and thence legal to install on another machine.
    Just be certain that the version on the new machine is the same as on the old machine or expect to buy a new $30 key.
    Cheers-
    Mark

  • How do I scan a photo to a file and then send the file as an attachment via email.

    How do I scan a photo to a file and then send the file as an attachment  via email.

    All of this depends largely on what printer /software you have, which Email client you use and to some extent which OS you are running.
    Most HP printers have HP Solution Center which is used to set up scanning,choosing where to save,etc. Once a file/photo is scanned and saved to the folder, open the folder.Select the file and at the top of the window should be the option to 'Email'.

  • Can I attach a link to one image and then use that linked image multiple times in my site?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to attach a link to an image and then use that image (with link attached) multiple times in my site.
    Thanks,
    Ally

    Use 'Find and Replace'>under the 'Edit' menu.
    Select from 'Find in'- Folder and browse to the folder your website files are kept in to select it.
    Search: Source Code
    In the Find box (but obviously use YOUR image code):
    <img src="images/imageName.jpg" width="200" height="200" alt="" />
    In the Replace box: (use YOUR link and image code)
    <a href="yourLink.html"><img src="images/imageName.jpg" width="200" height="200" alt="" /></a>
    Then select 'Replace All'

  • How can I update a catalog on my laptop and then transfer the updates to master catalog on desktop?

    This is similar to Goeffbubbles question but I don't want to have the original files on both laptop and desktop
    Here is the question:
    I want to make a copy of a Lightroom 3 catalog to put on my laptop so while on the move I can be geo-tagging and keywording to 8000 photographs. I don't want to drag an external drive with me. I just want to be able to work on the catalog metadata and have all the updates/changes stored there (on the laptop)(in the catalog) and then transfer the catalog back to the desktop (to the primary archive) and have all the updates/changes pushed back into the DNG's or the XMP sidecar files alongside the CR2's. These changes would be only keywording and possibly writing GPS data into them….NOT image edits (that would probally require access to the original image files)
    As a test, I tried "exporting as catalog", TWO images (with the source images "unavailable"). I flash-drived the resulting catalog to my laptop. I opened the catalog in LR3 and made changes to the metadata. I tried both "saving metadata to file" and "updating DNG previews" (which would be useless anyway since I could not write data back to the missing originals) and also tried doing nothing and just closing LR,  then pulling the flashdrive and plugging it into the DESKTOP.(knowing the changes are stored within the catalog itself only) I open the 2 picture catalog in LR and see the keyword updates. Hurrah!
    I switch over to the master catalog. All I want to do is import the updated metadata (keywording, contrast, etc…) back into the master catalog and push the data into the original DNG or XMP. On import I select "replace: Metadata and develop settings only" (with or without "preserve old settings" checked) and click import. Voila! NOTHING HAPPENS and the updated keywords are NOT picked up.
    Where did I go wrong? I know that the metadata updates were carried out because they showed up when I opened it separately in LR! For some reason they don't seem to making through the import process to the master catalog…
    Sorry if I am being overly verbose....Any suggestions?

    the part you're missing is that you have to be a little more destructive in your creation.
    here are my steps:
    In LR, put the files you want to work on in a subfolder of your Primary catalog
    Export Folder As Catalog with previews, but without including the DNG's
    At your new location/machine work on that catalog.
    Here's the part that's no fun, (obviously have a backup of your catalog before you do this)
    In your primary catalog REMOVE that folder from your catalog. (this will remove all references within your catalog, but leave the RAW files alone where they were)
    You then FILE-->IMPORT FROM ANOTHER CATALOG, and import your subfolder export back into your Primary catalog.
    It'll bring all of your changes and previews back into your Primary catalog but with unlinked RAW files.
    Click on the question mark in the corner of the thumbnail that's telling you it doesn't know where the source files are and LOCATE the original file again in your file structure, with the FIND NEARBY MISSING PHOTOS box checked.
    Overly complicated for what it is, but it gets the job done.
    I found your post because it was suggested on the sidebar after I just made a feature request on the same topic.

  • How can I read an email on my iPad and have it not be marked as read?

    I have an Exchange account set up on my iPad for my work email. My email is partly organized such that I look at unread emails (whether or not I've actually read them) for actions required. However, when I tap an email on my iPad, it is automatically marked as read as soon as it comes up in the reading pane. I do realize I can tap a button to have it marked as unread, but I want the default to be that an email is not marked as read. Any feedback?

    On the iPad, using the mail app, there is no way to do what you are asking without tapping the flag icon and marking the item as unread. Have you tried the OWA app for the iPad? It may have that functionality, but I haven't tested it as you need an Office 365 subscription with Exchange support to use the app.

  • How can I get Lightroom to export my edit to a jpeg that looks the same ?

    Hi everyone,
    I can't get my jpeg export to look the same as it looks in lightroom after edit.
    The jpeg isn't that different but still, way too much for me.
    I did use sRVB, 100% no scaling etc... but it seems the export won't take "all" of my noise reduction correction..
    This is a portrait shot in lowww light, and the raw file was rather crappy. Eventhough I was really happy with my smooth final edit but I can't get my jpeg to look as clean.. please someone help meee !
    Regards,    

    What infos can I give you all to help me sort this problem out ?
    export : quality 100%
                 sRVB
                 no scaling
    In lightroom my image is just clean whereas after export, I can notice some artifacts or "moire", and it feels like the noise reduction/sharpen tool doesnt apply its correction as it should.. but it still does a bit bc it's not as if I turned it off completly...
    This is driving me crazy
    I'm about to install RC3 and try with it...

  • How can I prevent Firefox profiles from becoming large and taking up space on the C drive for each user?

    I have many users logged into a Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Server (Terminal Server) and all of them use Firefox. Each one of their profiles get very large due to their Firefox profiles.
    Seems that all the space being taken up by the cache folder. (C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Profile.default\Cache)
    Is there a way to enforce a policy within the program to clear the cache for each user either each time the browser is closed or when the user logs off?

    when you lock the preferences with the mozilla.cfg file in the firefox program folder as it's described in the mozillazine kb article above, it should apply for all users...

  • How can I open a PDF stored in IXOS and then display it in a BSP

    Hello gurus,
    I have created a PDF icon and an onclick action to open a pdf, that displays on every row of an assignment block in the actions column, but I do not know the technical process to determine how to get a PDF from the IXOS system from the line selected. (even if I know it depends on an ID attribute of that assignment block) I want to to call a transaction launcher with the url for the pdf in the IXOS that has an ID that identifies which line in the assignment block the user has clicked the pdf icon for (does that make sense?)
    Therefore, I am assuming the PDF should correspond to the relance ID of the row in the assignment block, but I would like more information as per the business logic involved in able to achieve the desired results for this particular specification. I already confirmed that the XURL or any other attribute in the BOL object does not contain the URL to use for this. I have looked at the class I was told that it may contain the required business logic for determining which PDF in IXOS to fetch for a particular row, and I am currently trying to reverse engineer the logic through looking at other code and using the debugger, but so far I haven'T had much luck.
    Here are some questions I have now for the functional side in the meantime:
    1) Can we fetch the PDF in IXOS for each line of an assignment block?
    2) Which URL should I call with the transaction launcher? a URL link to the PDF on the IXOS system??
    3) Do we have to configure a transaction in the IMG to be launched?
    4) Do we have to create a logical link there that I will make dynamic to call the right PDF for each table line? 
    5) Are there any existing examples of this or a similar functionality/ logic that I could refer to, preferably in CRM 7 WebUI?
    6) Do you have any code to just display a PDF in a new window? Or prompt a download?
    One possible way I thought of would be for me to have a logical link defined in the IMG, that I could call passing it different attributes (eg. some object id, etc) and then return the PDF and display it in the UI in a new browser window by itself. Alternatively, we can just prompt a download. What do you think would be the optimal behaviour here?
    Please do not hesitate to propose any potential solution. Any partial answers/ links to wikis/ other threads, anything would be much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,
    Jonathan Laplante

  • How can I load mavericks on a new drive, and then re-load all my software on that drive?

    My operating drive has bad sectors. Bought a new one to load on Mavericks and re-load all my software. How can I do this?

    If your Pro came with install CD's or DVD's, you would use them to install the OS that came with the computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks. If Snow Leopard came with your Pro, as it says in your profile, that should work.
    If your Pro did not originally come with installer discs, then you would need an OSX recovery disk assistant
    OS X Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0 , or an internet connection, to do internet recovery OS X: About OS X Recovery
    Another option is a Mavericks installer disk, which you can make yourself with  DiskMaker X
    Once you get the Mavericks installer downloaded, but before you install it, make an installer with DiskMakerX so you'll have it for the next time you need it. The installer deletes itself after you do the install.
