How do I verify what PCI GPIB driver I'm using?

I have NI-488.2 Software for Solaris 2.x PCI-GPIB
Version 2.2, but when I do a pkginfo on my
Sunblade 100 Workstation running Solaris 8 I see
GPIB-ENET Handler ver. 1.3. Maybe I'm confused,
but are they(the handler and the driver) the same
thing? That being said, my communication is really
slow. This is a new workstation, new PCI card, and
the old SparcStation 10 with the SBus performs better.
I'm not certain of my configuration. The things in
ibconfig look greek to me. Any clues to what I should
try.

You have correctly identified your driver version (2.2). I'm not sure why you are getting slow communication with your new PCI-GPIB card. I would recommend taking a look at the Knowledge Base linked below for more information on getting the fastest GPIB communication possible. Some settings may need to changed in your configuration.

What external Hard drive should I use for Final Cut Pro?

Hi:
I have a Mac Pro and I'm planning to work with HD. What external hard drive should I use?
PD: I have a NVIDIA on a PCI Express graphic slot.
Thanks,
Cabezon

You'll need to be much more specific; there are 20 or 60 different kinds of high definition. Some require nothing, some require superfast RAID, some require specialized hardware support.

What XA JDBC driver should I use with Oracle 8i 8.1.6

I need to use an XA JDBC driver for Oracle 8i 8.1.6. I am using the driver in
a ConnectionPool in a TxDataSource for use by some entity beans using EJB 2.0.
I'm running WebLogic Server 6.0 sp2, EJB 2.0, Java 2 SDK 1.3.1 Server VM, Solaris
2.7, and Oracle 8i 8.1.6.
I know of three different Oracle XA drivers: WebLogic jDriver for Oracle XA, Oracle
OCI type 2 driver XA, and Oracle Thin tyoe 2 XA. Are there any other drivers
that I can use for Oracle 8.1.6? Which driver and which version should I use?
For example, can I use the Oracle 8.1.7 JDBC drivers with the Oracle 8.1.6 server,
or would the Oracle 9i drivers work with the Oracle 8i server? Which drivers
are faster, and which support more features? I assume that I should not use the
type 4 driver since I am not using an applet, but I don't know if there are bugs
in the OCI C library for Solaris or in the JDBC drivers that use it that prevent
XA from woking. Which version of the Oracle C OCI library should I use if I use
a type 2 driver?
Thanks,
Ross Goldberg

Hi,
I think you can't use the 8.1.6 thin driver for XA, you would have to
use the OCI driver or 2PC-enable your datasource. AFAIK this has been
changed for 8.1.7
Check http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/////jta/thirdpartytx.html.

Subject: Re: What XA JDBC driver should I use with Oracle 8i 8.1.6
I've asked this question before. This is the reply from Joe
Weinstein:
For reliability and JDBC 2.0 compliance, I recommend the
Oracle thin driver.
If not that driver, you should verify that a type-2 driver
actually does
deliver better performance, but then I would not have a
strong preference
between their type-2 and ours. Theirs may be faster, and JDBC
2.0 compliant.
Both are succeptible to OCI bugs, some of which only they can
fix, but we
listen.

How can I determine what dns server the wifi client use within airport

How can I determine what dns server the wifi client use within airport
I want to use dns servers other then the one that airport extreme is using. For example I got the 172.16.1.1 (the default gateway - airport extreme), but I want to use the office dns servers, that are in a 10.x.x.x range.
Is there a possibility?
Thanks and happy eastern

The Airport Extreme uses the DNS servers assigned by the network that it connects to. Is you Airport Extreme on the 10.x.x.x network? if it is then you are already using the 10.x.x.x DNS servers. Check your Airport Extreme with the Airport Utility and you will see in the Internet tab, the DNS servers used. The devices connecting to the Airport Extreme are assigned a DNS address of the Airport Extremes IP, In your case 172.16.1.1 but all DNS searches and resolution are done with the DNS servers you see in the Airport Extreme.
If you want to use some other DNS then you can override in the Airport Extreme which will be used by all devices connecting too the Airport Extreme, Or you can edit the DNS address in each devices wireless settings.

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.

Nigpib-linux PCI-GPIB driver does not work on RedHat 8.0

The PCI-GPBI driver for linux (nigpib-linux) can't be installed on Linux RedHat 8.0. The first error is a reference to "malloc.h" having to be replaced by "slab.h". Then, the module compiles, but it has to be loaded with the "force" option, by replacing all instances of "insmod" in the "INSTALL" script by "insmod -f". When loading there is an error message that the kernel is compiled with gcc 3.2, but the module with gcc 2.9, and this is known "not to work". One can load the kernel module with "insmod -f", but when running "ibconf", "insmod" is used when saving the configuration, so there is an error message again. The solution to this problem is probably to compile the source code for the driver (supplied by NI a
s a binary) with gcc 3.2. It would be so much easier if NI opensourced the entire driver.
Can NI compile a binary against gcc 3.2 on RedHat 8.0??
Thanks in advance.
Best regards, Erwin

Ok, my bad. Apparently the gcc3 compilied driver has
been available since Jan 2003. Here is a link:
ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/gpib/linux/nigpib-linux-0.8.3.tar.gz
I should think NI could use a better naming convention to
flag this a bit better. (Like nigpib-linux-gcc3-x.x.x)

How can I verify what version of IE11 (32 or 64) is running on a 64 bit version of Windows 7

Hello,
I recently upgraded from IE8 to IE 11. In the past when I would run ie8 from the Programs(86) folder it would indicate it was the the 32 bit version in the task manager by having an entry for iexplorer.exe *32
For IE11, the *32 does not show in the task manager.
How can I verify IE11 is running in *32 mode? I am trying to troubleshoot some active X controls that have known problems with IE11 *64 but I can't seem to verify which version I am running. Note I launch IE11 from the Program Files (86) directory
but I still would like some verification on what version is actually running. I am concerned because I am not seeing the *32 in task manager.

In IE10+, on a 64bit PC the frame (outer window) is always 64bit. The tabs are generally 32bit unless you've enabled Enhanced Protected Mode or are running inside Win8+ Metro environment.

Problems with Tru64 UNIX 5.1b PCI-GPIB driver development

I am using your NI488.DDK product to develop a PCI-GPIB device driver for Tru64 UNIX 5.1b3. I have experience porting other device driver from 4.x to 5.1b and thought that this would not be too hard. The driver that I have developed loads and configures ok. It allows for the IBFIND of /dev/gpib0 minor #255 to work fine because a bus table is built for it during the probe/attach. When I try an IBFIND on /dev/gpib_dev/dev1 I get an error from ni_Cp2BusPtr for minor #51 because no table is created for the devx devices during driver initialization. I don't see where this was done in the example ib.c code provided for Tru64 Unix 4.x, am I missing something?

This is really an update to my original posting for those of you who may have similar concerns.
The source code provided as part of the NI488DDK kit is not really a fully functional driver with the same capabilities as they provided in the device driver that they devloped for Tru64 UNIX 3.x and 4.x. The the "ib" commands supported by the DDK driver is a subset of the entire ni488 suite. None of the device specific "ib" command are supported, neither is ibask. Device commands are written to the bus as character strings that contain device addresses and command.

How Do You Verify an External Firewire Drive?

How to store photo's on external drive and still use Time Machine and secondary back up plan

So, My Macbook Pro is now going on 4 years old and I've accumulated around 15,000 photos in iPhoto now. I would like to move everything (or at least everything older than 12 months) onto a portable external drive, but i'm not sure the best way to do this and still keep a good back up plan. My current process is the following -- I have external HD same size as my current internal drive on the MBP, which is formatted that i use Time Machine. I also have a paid subscription to Crash Plan online cloud back up that is connected to my laptop drive (CrashPlan is constant and easy, so I just USB plug in MBP to EHD a few times a month and that's it). If I were to move most of my picture/video's/important docs to an external drive, how would I back that up with Time Machine, and if I did, how would I back up my laptop drive with Time Machine also, and what drive would I assign my Crash Plan online account too? Cant seem to wrap my brain around the easiest and best method. (In short, I want most pics/video's stored off the laptop so that my HD is not consumed; but still easy to access if needed, and easy to back up) Also driving this need for a solution is the fact i would like my next lap top to be an Macbook Air, which I know I can't keep my current set up would not work. Any thoughts are appreciated.

if your internal drive has 250 GB and the external drive with the iPhoto library as well, your TimeMachine should have at least 1 TB.
I have read over some of CrashPlans support docs and it sounds like it will be able to back up and restore the iPhoto library, and as long as you restore the entire library and not single photos, it will save and restore all metadata as well.
I studied their documents to. They are saying they can backup any filetype. And they are saying the iPhoto libraries or Aperture libraries will be backed up automatically, when they are in in the Pictures folder, because the Home folder will be backed up.
On their screenshot you can see, that the libraries are backed up as a nested set of folders, and not as a package. That let's me doubt that the dependencies within the package will be treated correctly. To restore from the backup they recommend to restore the set of nested folders. What I could not find anywhere in the documentation is any information on the filesystem they are storing the backup on. If it is not Apple's MacOS Extended (Journaled, not case sensitive) the restored library may be corrupted, because the internal links in the databases may not work. Try to find out something about the filesystem on the backup servers, before you entrust your iPhoto library to that servers.
