How do I specify the Startup VI for a LLB in LV 8.5.1 Full?

Hi,
I recently upgraded to LabVIEW 8.5.1 from LabVIEW 7.1.1. I entered the project Build Specifications and compiled my code into a LV .llb file called "my_program.llb". I also specified the top level vi (called "main.vi") inside my_program.llb. Now I want to make "main.vi" automatically open and execute whenever the user double clicks on my_program.llb from within Windows Explorer. How can I do this in LV 8.5.1 Full?
Right now when the user double clicks on my_program.llb, the LLB Manager window opens, but "main.vi" doesn't automatically launch like it used to do back when I was using LabVIEW 7.1.1 Full.
I know it is possible to specify the Startup VI using the Professional version, but is this possible to do in the Full version?
Thanks,
Richard

Managing LabVIEW Library Files in Windows Explorer & the LLB Manager
LabVIEW 8.5 and beyond
In LabVIEW 8.5, the
option to open LLB files in Windows Explorer has been removed. However,
if you have a previous version of LabVIEW installed along with 8.5,
LLBs can still be opened through Windows Explorer if you follow the
procedure below. If you are not using another version of Labview along
with 8.5, you can change the default behavior so that an LLB that is
opened from Windows will open the top-level VI instead of the LLB in
the LLB Manager.

In LV, using TS API, how do I specify the VI module for a Pass/Fail step?

I am writing a LabView VI which will let a user write a TestStand sequence. Each step in the seq is the same type, a Pass/Fail test. I need to specify for each step the LabView VI module location, and an input buffer. I am having difficulty finding out how to specify the module for the step using the TestStand API in LabView. How to do this????

Hi Drew,
I think Dennis might have come at this from the wrong angle.
Have a look at the example that ships with TestStand under
\Examples\SequenceBuilderTool\LabVIEW
This might give some clues, but I'd suggest posting this question over to the TestStand discussion Forum as suggested by Dennis.
There'll be a few more people there who can help a bit more in-depth
My personal suggestion is to create a custom step type that calls the .vi's and then you can create the steps in a new sequence file using your tool easily. This could be cumbersome for you if you already have a lot of steps setup.
Better then to create a resource to get the steps out of to clone them by creating a sequence file which is full of your steps. When you have a handl
e to a cloned step, you can change properties about it in memory, before putting it into the sequence (i.e. change it's name and stuff)
Otherwise you need to get the type and create a new step of this type.
If all you're stugling with is the module to call, then for the step you have a handle to, change the
you can either change the "Step.TS.SData.ViPath" as a string (TestStand set property value String with a reference to the sequence_context) or if you wanted to bring up the specify module dialog, if you have a handle to the step itself, call the method SpecifyModule.
Hope that helps

How can I specify the default tab in a CHM Output?

My company uses CHM-based help for some of its products. We build the CHM files from RoboHelp 9, and while these CHM files don't really have a full Index attached to them, the Index tab shows up in the output anyway. Unfortunately, we are suddenly seeing that when the CHM file is launched from our program, the Index tab is displayed by default. We'd rather have the Contents tab be the default look, especially considering that the Index does not exist.
I have poked around into how you can specify a default tab for a CHM file, and the only information I have found suggests that using a CHM file creates a file (HH.dat) that specifies which tab should be displayed on a user-by-user basis, and that the last tab displayed when you close the CHM should be the first one displayed when you re-open it. While this is true if you open the CHM independent from the product, when you launch it from our program, it's all Index, all the time.
So, my question is: How can I specify the default tab for a CHM file? Or, failing that, how can I excise the Index tab from my CHM output.

Hi there
This will be something up to your application developer to resolve. When s/he issues the call to open the CHM, there are parameters that may be used to always open with the desired tab "in front".
Point your developer to the link below and advise that s/he is most likely interested in the section titled: Programming Tips.

How can we specify the Mailbox for Notes?

Thanks in advance.

You could use the DecimalFormat or NumberFormat to do the job.
double number 1234.567;
DecimalForamt df = new DecimalFormat("###.##");
String s = df.format(number);or
double number 1234.567;
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
nf.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
/* if needed.
   nf.setMaximumIntegerDigits(value);
   nf.setMinimumFractionDigits(value);
   nf.setMinimumIntegerDigits(value); */
String s = nf.format(number);I didn't test the codes but they should work. For more information, please consult the documentations.

How to set the "move tool" as the startup tool for Photoshop?

For some reason, the rectangular marquee tool is now the startup tool, but I rarely use that tool! I remember in the past, it's always the "move tool". How can I change the startup tool in Photoshop?
Thanks!

As far as having the Move Tool selected at startup, your right about older versions of photoshop being able to do that, i think photoshoshop cs and older, but not in more recent versions.
Anyway, there are several of ways to do it and here's one:
1. Use the following script saved from Notepad (or any text editor) as, for example, Select Move Tool.jsx
// =======================================================
var idslct = charIDToTypeID( "slct" );
    var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
        var ref1 = new ActionReference();
        var idmoveTool = stringIDToTypeID( "moveTool" );
        ref1.putClass( idmoveTool );
    desc4.putReference( idnull, ref1 );
    var iddontRecord = stringIDToTypeID( "dontRecord" );
    desc4.putBoolean( iddontRecord, true );
    var idforceNotify = stringIDToTypeID( "forceNotify" );
    desc4.putBoolean( idforceNotify, true );
executeAction( idslct, desc4, DialogModes.NO );
Then in photoshop under File>Scripts>Script Events Manager use Browse under Script and set the script for the Photoshop Event>Start Application

How can I specify an area path for the work item created on build failure?

In our department we are working with multiple build definitions for different parts of one Team project. We heavily use the Team Project feature. Teams are defined by area path nodes, so each team can only see it's area path. No one (except the admins)
can see the root project node.
When a build breaks, TFS generates a Bug. Unfortunately, this bug is assigned to the area path root node, so nobody can see the generated bug and act on it.
We would prefer to specify the area path for the generated work item in the build definition (not template, but property of a build definition), as every build belongs exclusively to one team.
I have found that you can populate fields of the generated work item by filling the "custom fields" of the "create work item" activity. But how do I set the area path as a parameter?

How do I specify the JRE i wish to use to Run an Application.

Hi Everyone;
Please bear with me if you read this before.
I have installed java 1.3.1 and java 1.4.1 in that order.
The JRE used by default is java 1.4.1
How do I specify the JRE I wish to use to Run an Application from a command prompt.
Example:
Java -something org.jboss.Main
help ??
Stephen

I was a lil embarrassed. I told my supervisor that the installation of java overwrites the JRE and that's that.
My supervisor took 10 minutes and went through it and found java.exe in the System32 file.
The java.exe file is found in guess where "C:/WINNT/System32/" folder how nice. C:/WINNT/System32/ is in the path. Not only that it's the first entry in the path. So when I execute java it is not using java.exe any one of the java files that I got from the java website.
So I don't have any control over the version.
Oh well;
That's life. That's 1 for my supervisor.

How do I mute the startup sound

How do I mute the startup sound on my imac

The start up sound is there for specific reasons, for example if you do a Safe Boot or PRAM reset you need the start up sound to do those key functions. I would recommend against masking it and follow Apple's suggestions. Please read your owners manual, where Apple states:
Putting Your iMac to Sleep
If you‘ll be away from your iMac for less than a few days, put it to sleep. When your iMac is in sleep, its screen is dark. You can quickly wake your iMac and bypass the startup process.
This means don't turn it off, my iMac is about 5 years old now. The only time it's restarted is when I'm doing updates, it has reliably that way and has never given me any problems. In short, let it sleep when it's not being used.

How do I enable the startup sound on Mac OS 10.2.8(Jaguar)

Three things
1.How do I enable the startup sound on Mac OS 10.2.8(Jaguar)
I am using an iMac G4
I like the startup chime of mac osx but it doesn't seem to be chiming when I turn the computer on.
2. How do I get safari+flash player on 10.2.8
3. How do I update the computer (e.g. Windows update kind off thing)
Please help.
Cheers,
Mittens131

1. Make sure the volume is on. Check that the machine makes other sounds.
2. Here is a link for Safari for a Mac 10.2.8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2964
Though I'd be surprised if it would be very useful. Things have changed a lot on the internet since that came out. An old version of Firefox might be better. I don't know where you would get an old version of flash. It is an Adobe product.
3. There are no further updates to Jaguar 10.2 than you already have, 10.2.8 that was the last update.

How do you change the volume used for group folders in Lion Server?

So I'm slowly acclimating to Lion Server, however, I'm not able to determine how to specify the parent folder for Groups. By default it's the /Groups root directory on the boot volume however I'm trying to change it to an alternate drive on a separate volume. I've tried removing the sharepoint from the 'Server' admin utility and adding the alternate Group folder (on a separate volume) but to no avail.
Has anyone else worked with this?

Hey,
Open Workgroup Manager app, from the ServerAdminTools, (link) enter your domain name for your server (FQDN), enter your OpenDirectory administrator user and password, go to Groups > Groups Folder.
Hope this helps.

Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.

In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

How do i disable the startup splash screen in elements 9

How do i disable the startup splash screen in elements 9

Try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. Make sure you have the correct file path as there is more than one exe file. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
Then make a direct shortcut for the Editor in a similar manner.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
N.B. on 64 bit systems navigate to Program Files (x86)
