How do you use the counters on board

I am involved in the development of a LabVIEW VI for the acquisition and processing of signals generated by a chip under test; my application provides two signals having the waveforms sketched in the attached figure.
With reference to this figure, I should generate a digital pulse just after a pulse on signal 1, also in case of no pulses on signal 2.
I am using the board PCI 6110 with LabVIEW 6i: I tryed to use the counters implemented on the board to generate my signal. My idea is to count the pulses of signal 1 with a counter and, if it is possible, to reset the counter on a rising edge of the signal 2. By so doing, when the counter assumes the value “2”, it must generate an impulse. Unfortunately I have not su
cceeded to implement this procedure.
Please, could you suggest me how to implement this solution, or, if this is not possible, any other procedure to accomplish the required task?
Thank you very much for your attention.

Hello Gian,
I've tried to think of a method to implement this for a while, but the one fundamental obstacle I keep coming across is that it seems the system must have a deterministic output. (It has to identify the gaps and generate the pulse while on the fly.) It is easy to acquire the two signals and even determining when the gaps occur. The problem is getting your software to recognize this and generate the output fast enough. You could possibly do this with a LabVIEW RT system.
On the other hand, I have thought of a way you could do this with a 660x counter/timer board using quadrature encoder position measurement mode. The problem with the 6110 is that it's counter/timers do not support this mode. With the 660x board in encoder position measurement m
ode, you can wire signal 1 to the source (which increments the counter) and signal 2 to the z-index (which resets the counter to a specified value). You would have this specified value set to be 2 less than the terminal count. If you recieved two signal 1 pulses without any signal 2 pulses, the counter would reach terminal count which triggers a short pulse to be generated on the output and this could be your output signal.
If you do decide to go this route, our technical support can assist you further with this after you have the hardware.
I hope this helps.

How do you use the bluetooth VIs with a Microsoft Bluetooth Driver?

How do you use the LabVIEW Bluetooth VIs with the Microsoft Bluetooth driver? I have been trying with no such luck.
   I want to use 2 computers to talk to each other using the bluetooth VIs.  Eventually, I think we would like a PDA/phone to talk to a custom built electronics board with Bluetooth. But for now, I would just like 2 computers to talk and then eventually talk to our own device.
One is a desktop w/ the Belkin F8T012 USB adapter. It installs fine with the Belkin driver (but I know I need to use the Microsoft Driver in order to use the LabVIEW VIs, but I have tried to get Windows to install its own but it says it is a BCM92045DG-Flash. It says it cannot install it because it cannot find the necessary hardware. I thought this USB adapter was on the approved Bluetooth devices list? What else should I try? Another Bluetooth USB adapter?
The other computer is a Dell Latitude 820. It has a built in Bluetooth module which I believe is the Dell 350 Bluetooth Module. On this machine I have been able to setup a COM port with a bluetooth device (blood glucose meter). It came with a serial port interface which we modifed to go through a bluetooth interface. It comes up as COM40. We have been able to communicate to it using their program originally designed to talk through a serial port. But we would like to use the Bluetooth VIs in LabVIEW. I can't even use the Discover VI.  Perhaps it is not using the Microsoft Driver as well. Do I just uninstall the driver and then try to have Windows install its own driver? Do you have any other recommendations?
Thanks,
Javi

Hi Javi,
This sounds like an issue with Windows and your specific Bluetooth devices. As you mentioned, the LV Bluetooth VI's do require that the devices use the Windows drivers. Take a look at this link for specific requirements for using Bluetooth with LabVIEW. Also, you can take a look at our Developer Zone tutorial on designing Bluetooth applications a found here. Regarding your device drivers, sometimes it is as easy as uninstalling the driver and then letting Windows discover the device and fine its own driver. You could check out the Microsoft Knowledgebase for more information. Thanks and have a great day!

How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???

How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???
Where are the instructions on how the information in the Multiple Item Information dialog box equates to ...
1. The way iTunes sorts tracks and albums
2. The reason to select a leading check box
3. Why there are Option selections (Yes /No) and leading check boxes.
4. Why some changes remain in the track info, but do not "take effect" in iTunes (Part of a compilation is an example)
Looked in Help, Support, went to the local Genius bar for an hour, even arrainged a call from apple support ...
Thanks

As Christopher says, it's a compilation. Different tracks are by different artists.
Setting the *Album Artist* field to *Various Artists* and setting *Part of a compilation* to Yes should be all that is required. Depending on your *Group compilations when browsing* setting ( I recommend On ) either should suffice but I suggest doing both.
Based on your commentary, I selected all the "O Brother" tracks, and checked the boxes for everything line that was blank in the Info and the Sort panes. Only exceptions were the album name and the disc number 1 of 1 and the artwork. I blanked and checked anything else.
That's not what I meant. When you select multiple tracks, only those values which +are already common+ to all tracks are displayed. Typically these will include Artist, though not with compilation albums, Album Artist, Album, No. of Tracks, Genre plus various sort fields. A blank value may indicate that different tracks have different values or it may be that the value is blank for all tracks. For the drop down values on the Options tab the value shown may not reflect the information in every tag. If values you expect to be common, such as Album Artist or the Album title are not displayed you can simply type these in and click OK. This will often be enough to group the album.
If you place a checkmark against the blank boxes and apply changes then you will clear those fields so you should only do this if that is the effect you want. Putting a checkmark next to an empty (representing different values) *Track No.* box, for example, will just clear the all the track numbers which is very rarely useful.
Adding then removing extra text is for a specific problem where despite all common values being identical across the tracks of the album iTunes seems to "remember" that it should see two albums. A typical example would be when an album originally listed as *Album CD1* & *Album CD2* is given disc numbers X of Y and then has the Album name changed to Album. I've seen iTunes merge all but one track into the new album, but insist on listing one remaining track separately, despite both albums having the same title. In this case I've found overtyping the album title again has no effect whereas changing it to AlbumX and then back to Album does what I was trying to achieve in the first place.
Don't forget that even properly organsied albums may still break up if you don't chose an album-friendly view. Sorting on the track name or track number columns can be useful in some circumstances but in general I revert to Album by Artist when browsing through my library.

How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2. I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use. how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases. If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

How do you use the ATV with the remote when you place it out of sight?

I placed my ATV behind my tv, though it does not wake up and work with the remote control. How do you use the ATV in this type of situation? Will the Bluetooth keyboard work with it if it is behind the TV?
Thanks.

Yes bluetooth and wifi (remote app from your iPhone) are far more likely to work for you.

How do you use the wdeploy tool in iPlanet Web Server with Windows 2000 Server?

I found this on the knowledge base, but only described how to use this with Unix. Does this work with Windows? How do you set the IWS_SERVER_HOME environment variable as well? I don't see it in the file.
Thanks

Hi,
This is pretty common scenario. The best way to achieve this is to split your servers using a collection and deploy a different client settings. You could target your collection using the OS or an OU in AD. There are many option there.
You could also limit the access to the Server collection using Role Based Access to avoid any human "errors" on these collections. Users without rights to these collection just won't see them.

How are you using the Namespace Prefix?

As the subject says...
The top-level namespace prefix looks very useful for segregating projects into their own namespaces...is this what this is for, or does SAP have another recommended use for this prefix?
The vendor name already makes the namespace unique to a corporate entity (if you use the domain name), so anything after that is really only of importance to the internal development environment...

Even if your development isn't that big, using the 'name space prefix' would allow you to further segregate your codebase.
This also becomes important when your domain name is rather long - 15 characters. Take away four or so more for the namespace prefix, and you're left with 20 characters for the DC name. Add in a few separators, and you're down to 12-15 characters.
Obviously, readability can suffer when you start to abbreviate too much, so I'm looking for best practices when it comes to the namespace prefix.
Thanks for your comment.

How do you use the status column to show progress of a step in an OI?

Hi everyone,
I was just doing a little browsing and noticed the picture at the top of the http://www.ni.com/teststand/ web page. It shows a progress bar in the status column of a step being executed.
I have several applications where this would be a very useful addition. I use the progress bar at the bottom of the OI and sequence editor regularly, but would very much like to show progress of an individual step in the status column. It would be particularly useful where you turn the tracing off into a sequence but want to see that progress is being made through the steps within it...
Anyone know how to do this? I have been unsuccessful in trying to find examples....
Cheers,
Barry

James,
I believe your answer to Bazza's question also applies to my situation, but I wasn't sure so I thought I would ask. I am working on a custom TestStand operator interface in LabVIEW using the UI controls. I would like it to behave as closely as possible to the old Test Executive. Specifically, I would like the operator to be able to see the contents of the sequence file, interact with them, and see the execution results all in the same view. Is that possible? In other words, can I display and interact with a sequence file (display the sequence steps, run selected steps, loop selected steps, etc.) and display the sequence's execution results (including tracing) in the same SequenceView control or do I have to use 2 of them?
Thanks,
Ryan Wright

How do you use the 2nd gen ipod touch as a hard drive?

I restored it and renamed it because my sister gave it to me, and now I restored it to use it as my own, and it works fine and all, occasionally saying it can't sync some applications and movies because it can't find the file or something, and I've tried removing all my music (which is like, 5.5 GB total) and it still has those same errors. The other thing I have a problem with, as the subject implies, how do I use it as a hard drive? I've seen the tutorials on apple, but I don't see the "enable disk use" on itunes in the XXXXX's ipod summary tab.

The iPod touch doesn't have the "enable disk use" option of other iPods.
A program called AirSharing will let you mount the iPod touch as a wireless drive

Mac: How do you use the "Install Manager" to update Flash?

So on a Mac with 10.3.181.22 installed, I went to a web page and the "Adobe Flash Player Install Manager" ran and notified me that an update to Flash was available.
I didn't want to install this at that time, so I dismissed it.
How do I force another check for an installation update procedure? If I manually run the Install Manager in /Applications/Utilities, it only gives me the option to *Uninstall* Flash Player and revisiting the web page (or running some other Flash animation) did not prompt me again that there was an update.
What am I missing to trigger the automatic notification/installation?
- Steve

Hi, I'm not familiar with that Mac feature since I don't use a Mac. However, you can go to this site and Install:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Also you can now use the automatic Flash Player notification for the Mac here:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.htm l
With this, the next time Flash Player has an update you will receive a prompt and can choose to "Install now"/"Remind me later" or "Don't Install" I use it all of the time and the update is done in under 2 minutes!!
Hope that helps,

How do you use the "Item Containing Start/End Date" in a Calendar?

Hi
I want to do a calendar where the days shown will be conditional to a certain interval. Now I though I could achieve that using the Item Containing Start Date of a calendar. But it doesn't seem to work. In the help it says :
Enter an item in the application which holds the start date of the calendar. The format of the date in this item must be YYYYMMDD.
This is what I did here
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=34530:1::::::
I have 3 fields. 2 for the Start Date and End Date and 1 for the "Date Item" parameter. Only the latter has an effect on the calendar display, the calendar only displays the month of the "Date Item" (in monthly mode).
Wether or not I check "Begin at Start of Interval", it doesn't affect the way those fields are affecting the Calendar.
So, how do we use that "Item Containing Start/End Date" parameter?

In Photoshop 2014 how do you use the clone stamp tool and keep the image panel from moving

I don't quite know how to use the clone stamp tool in the Photoshop 2014 version. When I click on the clone stamp it creates a duplicate of the image and it moves around and I can not apply the clone stamp to the area I want to correct. How do you lock it down to keep it from moving?

Hi Smoothery4501,
The Photoshop clone stamp tool allows you to copy one area of an image and copy it onto another area.
Click on the clone stamp tool then press the alt key on the keyboard and click on the image to define a source point.
Please refer to below blog for further info

WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
EXIT;
END;
/* adding numbers 1-6 to position one on newline*/

How do you use the color channel output mode in Ultra Key in Premiere Pro CS6?

I'm wondering how the color channel output mode is supposed to be used in the Ultra Key inside of Premiere Pro CS6? I've looked through all the Adobe help items and I don't see any documentation on it.

Before I answer, you might want to read the following article: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/essentials/rgb/
So, basically, if you understood all of that, and maybe already knew all of that, then you can use the color channel to see more deeply into the effect by looking at the details of the image through the lens of the color channel.
