How do you measure the change in area of an irregular shape?

Hello everyone,
This irregular shape is previously unspecified (other than the fact that it is white on a black background). Changes in the area would cause a motor to either speed up (increase) or slow down (decrease).
I'm completely new to Labview and I'm still trying to figure out the jists of it. I have been playing around with the vision assistant. Any help would be appreaciated.
Thanks.

Just create a binary image using automatic thresholding (or fixed threshold if it is a constant), then use particle measurement to measure the area of the particle. If it returns multiple particles, you probably want the largest one. You might have to clean up the binary image by removing edge particles, etc. before using particle measurement.
You should be able to measure the area several times a second easily, possibly at the frame rate of the camera.

Hi DOC808HI
# I don't know what you mean by "posted RETR solution". Could you please post a link to the suggested solution? Perhaps you are referring to this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991792 ?
# Anyhow any further troubleshooting information you can provide will be great e.g. Your Operating System Version (XP, 7, Mac OS X Mavericks), your anti-virus if any, your mail provider, your ISP, what you did, what happened with exact error message, what happened

HT4859 how do you see the items that are backed up to iCloud - I have 4.5 GB that I have used but I cant find where to see those items...help

how do you see the items that are backed up to iCloud - I have 4.5 GB that I have used but I cant find where to see those items...help

That is everything in your iCloud account. Videos and camera roll photos are only included in your backup, the size and content of which you can see on your phone in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage>tap the name of your device under Backup. This will show you the size of "Camera Roll", where these are contained. (You can't see any detail beyond that.) Photo stream photos can only been seen in your photo stream album on your phone, and they don't count against your storage so they aren't part of the 4.5 GB. Everything esle is either in the backup, the items listed in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, or on icloud.com, where you can see your contacts, calendars, etc.

How to revert back the changes that are moved to Production

Hi all,
We have done changes to my DC.We moved the activity into production.We need to revert back the changes in all the systems.
Is there any procedure to acheive this?
Thanks and Regards,
Rajesh.A

Hi,
If the changes have been saved, then there is no automatic way of reverting the changes. To get the Infoset in the reqd state, you will have to move an unchanged copy into the dev sys. The easiest way would be to transport a copy from the Prod sys. But first you have to check whether the transport path exists. With the help of Basis team, you can do this.
wish u luck.

When your Shuffle is connected- How do you View the songs that are on it?

So when I connect the shuffle to the computer it shows up in itunes. I can click on it and it takes me to the summary page with several tabs (music, podcast, etc), but I can't seem to figure out how to see what songs I have uploaded to the device? Any ways to figure this out, your help is appreciated

Hello ThatcherWatts,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
You need to click the small arrow on the left hand side your iPod's device name in the left hand pane of iTunes as seen in this photo (in this case the name of the iPod is in fact iPod ). Doing so will open up a small menu underneath.

How do you measure the voltages in an external usb device, such as a usb missile launcher?

Any Suggestions?

USB is a funny thing. Typically 5V max provided by the client PC. A lot of devices use 3.3V , The current the USB device will use is determined during enumeration. And the client device negotiates this with the PC. As was stated in the duplicate post you made a few days ago, Your missile launcher will need either LV drivers provided by the manufacture or a DLL file OR some way of knowing the communication protocol of the missile launcher.

How do you remove the active stroke when on a layer/shape?

Alright so a rather simple question but I can not seem to find the answer anywhere.
I am trying to remove this black line (look at the picture)
http://www.clicknhost.com/u/290412/cw6ka0xka.png
It appears on active shapes and layers; it prevents me from seeing how my stroke is going to look, what my shadow looks like, messes with alighnment. I just want it gone. It was in Photoshop CS3, removed in Photoshop CS4 and 5 (5.5), but now it is back.
Thanks,
Tyler.

Thanks mate. I was actually viewing the "view" tab in photoshop and was looking at the extras and I checked all that out and found that out right before you posted. Has to be the most annoying default setting, I find it hard anyone would find a use for it.
Thanks again.

How do you measure a Cycle's lenght in time, not bars and beats?

How to you measure the time length on a selected cycle ? I understand that when any cycle is selected, you can see the length of that specific range on Bars and beats, but not in Real time. How do I get to see ( Calculate ) the real time length of a cycle range? When working with video this feature is absolutely necessary. ProTools shows you the length in time when a cycle range is selected. I also know that you can calculate the distance of any given point in the song, relative to the start time, you can see it in the Time Position display, but what If I need a more exact time calculation ( min:sec:frames, etc. ) between two specific cue points that are only relevant to video sync, not relative to the start time and not relative to musical values. Like if I need the exact time length for a video cue, etc.

Thank you, very Much, That's it !!!
I've looked for that for years...LOL, It never occurred to me to look for a "negative",

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big. I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting. I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened. Can I set this as a default view?

Hey Kris,
You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
Try this and then let me know.

Changing SSL Cert, how do you update the trust profile for devices.

I am in the process of changing out the ssl cert for the trust profile (going from a self-signed to a signed cert). How do you update the trust profile on the devices already paired with the server.

Yes, the linked smart object can be either raster or vector, but they will be placed as raster images, just as the embedded SO are. SO can be embedded or linked to an outside file. Edits to the original will not update in the original until you select "Update modified content from the menu" when you reopen the file that has the place SO in it. otherwise it will update when you save the linked file. Yes, there still is an advantage to having an embedded SO. You may not want to maintain the links - send a file off and forget to include the linked files. You may want to alter the SO, but not the original file.
Ah, thanks. But does this mean that raster and vector smart objects can EITHER be located within the Photoshop file (as they have been since their advent) OR linked to an external file?
And if so,
1. Can this linked file be either raster or vector?
2. Do edits to it automatically update the Photoshop file?
3. Is ther any longer any advantage to having the smart object data stored within the Photoshop file when it can be linked?

Using the retouch tool, how do you make it change color? The old iPhoto one did, this one seems to be flesh-tone only, which is not how I need it to be. In old iPhoto, used the local color to blend, it was great.

I don't know which old version you're referring to but iPhoto 6's, 7's and 8's retouch tool works exactly the same as iPhoto 9's. The color of the enhance tool's area while applying is a light brown color but the retouch works on any color using the surrounding colors as a basis.

Hi there - I think I am having problems associated withg Cause 9 in that in google mail I have another pop email address associated so that I can send using this email address, but then I have both addresses setup seperately in BIS. When I receive a mail from GMAIL I receive a duplicate with "received by: unknown" in the header. I had gmail setup so that it would send using by pop email address as default.
In your answer the settings for the two filters you recommend creating are broken links and I canot actually see them. What are they?
Also What do you recommend setup wise with gmail and a pop account. Some people say it is better to get gmail to receive the pop mail account and run the whole account from there. Blackberry doesn't seem to like this setup very much. Should I completely dissociate the pop account and to try and clarify the distinction between the two? Or should I setup a second gmail account and have that poll my pop account and then have the blackberry feed off these two gmail accounts? The reason I am considering this option is gmail provides a lot of storage and online continuity and this would effectively persist my account.
Your help would be much appreciated.. I have had blackberry woes now for over a month and I have spent hours with various support personel, tried deleteing and sending down new service books etc etc but had no luck yet.
thanks,
Nathan

We had to change the feed adress and the epsiode adresses. Now all the episodes of my podcast are downloaded (although i have downloaded them already). How can I make the changes in my feed and avoid that all the episodes are reloaded?

Hello,
We had to change the feed adress (<itunes:new-feed-url>)and the epsiode adresses in the feed because the feed and the episode-files are on a new server. Now when i open my iTunes subscription of our podcast all the episodes of my podcast are downloaded again (although i have downloaded them already).
My Question therefore is: How can I make the changes in my feed and avoid that all the episodes are reloaded?
Maybe have an answer?
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your answer
As I see now, our 'guid' tags contain the episode URLs
To avoid this problem in the future i would like to change guid tags. Can you please tell me how a guid tag should look like if it is not the URL?
Thank you for helping us!
ps now it looks like this eg:
<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.castyourart.com/podcasts/213_thinkglobal_en.mp4</guid>

How do I save the changes I have made to the settings? Also, how do I get the "Would you like to give Firefox feedback?" popup to go away?

I have gone into my Tools and then Options and have made changes there (like for Downloads I clicked "Close when all downloads are finished"), but the changes will not save for when I close and reopen the browser; my changes to the settings are not being saved at all. How can I get the changes to stay? Also, I keep getting this popup from Firefox asking, "Will you help improve Mozilla Firefox by sending information about performance, hardware, usage, and customizations to Mozilla?" and I keep pressing the "No" button but it appears every time I open the browser. Even when I press "Yes," it reappears. Is there a way to permanently say "NO"? I would appreciate any help!

hello vnsonwu, this sounds like there might be a problem with the file in your profile folder that stores the settings (maybe it is set to read-only or corrupted in another form) - please go through the troubleshooting steps described here: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]
