How do I configure my Software limits to Kill a motor, rather than just halt the motion?

I am running on board programs. I have my software limits enabled. Occasionally, my program corrupts and I hit a software limit. The motion stops by halting the motors, but they are still on. As a result, the on board progam kicks in again, and the motors start back up again. Depending upon the program, this can lead to very dangerous results.
How can I set the software limits such that they kill the motors, rather than just halting them?

You will need to poll the status of the software limits (using the Read Limit Status VI, limit type inptu set to software limits). Once the status is True, such that the software limit has been tripped, execute a Stop Motion VI, with the Stop type input set to Kill.
This example program uses these two VIs, but you will need to modify it for your own application in the way I mentioned above:

  • How do I legitimately crop a video to 2.35:1 rather than just artificially do it.

    So premiere allows you to use the crop effect, or crop the video during the exporting (on source you can delete pixels on top and bottom). But this only adds black bars to the video, the video is still physically a 16:9 video, just with black.
    How can I do this. (I want to upload to vimeo and it be a legitimate 2.35:1 video rather than a 16:9 with black bars).
    Thanks
    TJ

    dont worry about "Source scaling", can leave that on "scale to fit". just change the output resolution to match the crop. uncheck aspect ratio icon (the chain link) so you can adjust the height pixels independent of the width.

  • How do I see the charts for all countries rather than just my own country simultaneously in iTunes? The album chart...

    I produced a song on Lecrae's new album, Gravity, "Higher" f/Tenth Ave North, which is #1 in the US today upon its release. But I've heard that it also topped charts in other countries as well, and do not know how to adjust the Top Album Charts view to show me the top 10 albums in each country rather than just in the US. I've done it before, but over a year ago when Rehab: The Overdose dropped, but can't recall how I did it. Please help! Thanks and God bless...

    I agree that this does work.  Thanks.
    However, I now have the issue that I scroll the whole screen down to show the shows at the bottom.  When I highlight the last show, the 10 shows are not visibile as they are at the top of the screen.  I have to scroll the whole screen back up to the top to see episodes.
    This is not the most elegant solution but at least with lots of double scrolling, it is possible.

    how can i get this software to install?  there are no product keys on the dvd sleeves

    It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

    It must have found the old backup corrupt.. so you will more than likely have little choice. You can archive off the old backup if it is still useful.
    You can also verify it. See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    He also has some info on this problem. eg C13.

    I can't be sure, but what probably happens is that the page doesn't give you a link to a downloadable file, but a button which activates a script. There's nothing you can do about that, because you don't control the script.
    it just downloads the transcripts not the document.
    It sounds like the downloaded file does not open or execute as it's supposed to (which, for instance, would happen if what you downloaded was a Java application, but you didn't have Java installed).
    If you are allowed to, give us the URL and we'll have a look. Also, you should add what version of Mac OS X and of Safari you are using, and you should correct your profile (which says "Mac Pro" -- this forum is for the MacBook Pro, which is a different computer from the Mac Pro).

    How can I get Elements 11 to open up in Organizer rather than in Editor?

    Well, you can go to Window>Welcome and make your change there, but the welcome screen leaves a process always running, so you would do better to go into the Program Files or Program Files (x86) in windows or the applications folder on a mac and find the actual .exe/application for the organizer and make a desktop shortcut/dock icon and use that in the future to launch the organizer, avoiding the welcome screen entirely.

    Also how can it be a line graph without plotting a circle at each value?
    Thanks this is very frustrating

    Make a copy of the table and produce your Line chart or Bar chart from the copy. Sort the copy into the order you want to see in your chart.
    Alternately you could use a Scatter Chart...

    How can I move songs to my playlist using my iphone rather than my computer?

    @allamb & stephanW
    I found this thread via a search, I have a new iphone 5 (also i am completely new to iphone, having been the last few years on android) and i have spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to add a song to a playlist.
    You see i sit a work and listen to dozens of tunes, and i want to add a paticular song to a particular play list, and low and behold I can't, excuse my special characters but "What the f#%k itunes/apple??? - how can this be? Such a commonly needed function and for itunes to be the number music player in the world not to have this feature is ludicrus.
    I am lucky that i only have about 500 songs on my iphone thus far, i feel sorry for stephanW with 4000+ !!
    Apple - please fix  - this is schoolboy programming stuff...

  • How do I configure my PCI-GPIB cards so that one is a controller and the other is a device being controlled by the first card

    I have 2 PC's, both fitted with PCI-GPIB cards. One will be the system controller and the other will be a device on the GPIB bus. How do I configure both cards using LabWindows/CVI v7.0 to achieve this ? What commands are used to send and receive the data ?

    Hi Pete,
    For the controller board you don't really need to do anything. By default the GPIB interface is configured as controller.
    The non-controller can be configured in MAX. Right-click on the interface, uncheck the ono-controller box and change the primary address. It is usually a good idea to set these parameters programatically. Use ibpad to set the primary address and ibrsc to release system control.
    For the controller you can use a device descriptor (using ibdev) or a board descriptor (ibfind).
    You can only open a reference to the non-controller board using ibfind (ibfind("gpib0"), for example). This will open a board reference. You cannot use a device reference because that implies that the board is capable of addressing the bus. On
    ly the system controller can.
    Here are some links I found on the web on this subject:
    Passing GPIB Control -- System Controller vs. Controller In Charge
    Tutorial: Programmatic File Transfers over the GPIB
    Example: Using a C Program as a GPIB Non-Controller with LabVIEW as the GPIB Controller
    Example: Serial Polling Between Two Computers (Controller and Non-controller)
    Hope this helps.

  • How import prior Backed-Up Fox Favorities in multiple sub-folders rather than one at a time in Fox 6.0

    How do you import prior Backed-Up Fox Favorities. This involved many short-cuts and contained in multiple sub-folders.
    How can I import the whole folder library rather than one short-cut at a time from each folder.

    The favorites shortcuts were not IE but from Firefox. I had a operating system failure. So, after re-installing the operating system, I then had to re-install all applications anew.
    After installing Fox 6.0, the problem is my prior use of folders and sub-folders with many favorites shortcuts in each.
    It appears that I will need to start anew with creating a folder system in the new firefox application. Then take all of the favorites shortcuts, individually, out of folders and put them in a file in a row, in an antilog fashion. Then try to get Firefox to accept them in some fashion.
    I also do not know how to (1) export IE Favorites (2) in IE (3) to an HTML?
    I am just lost.

  • How do you show multiple products horizontally rather than vertically with the module_productfeaturelist?

    I am trying to have 3 to 4 featured products that share the same tag next to each other rather than stacked.  Is there a way to do this by customizing the "List of Products by Tag" or is there another module I should be using?
    What i am currently getting is this and I would like the side by side instead:
    {module_productfeaturelist,featured,3,Weight,,true}

    Your monitor would need an HDMI connection to hook it to AppleTV.  AppleTV would need to be on the same network as the IMac, presumably wireless if you don't want to run cables.
    You would then need to use Airplay Mirroring, and that requires reasonably modern Macs, see:
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X
    I don't know for certain but if you set up an automatic powerpoint slideshow you could probably export to an AppleTV compatible movie files, and then play that to AppleTV via iTunes as well, which ought to work with older Macs but video might need to be set to loop or repeat itself a lot.
    If you want to use Airplay Mirroring buthave an old Mac, then AirParrot software has a demo, and some people find this ok.

  • How can I sent photos as attachment rather than embedded in the email?

    For work, I need to send photos to my editor via email. In Mail, the jpgs automatically become embedded in the body of the the email, but my editor would prefer to receive them as attachments. Is there any way to send photos as attachments in Mail, rather than embedded email itself?

    LaSylphide, the Mail forum shows up as one of the categories within the "Mac OS and System Software" forum. Click on whichever version of OSX you're using, and you'll see the list of categories.
    There are several threads on this topic, and I've seen three solutions:
    1. Check the "Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" box. Some people say it works, some say it doesn't.
    2. Open Terminal and type:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
    Some people say this works, some say it doesn't.
    3. In Mail > Preferences > Composing, make sure "Message Format" is set to "Plain Text." Once again, some say this works, some say it doesn't.
    Hopefully, one of those will solve your problem. There may also be a setting in your editor's email program that would solve it, but I'm assuming that's a Windows app and I haven't worked with Windows since 1993, so I'm no help there.
