How to build a custom waveform

Hi , I have an array cluster that contain value, time, time tol+ and time tol-, these values should make a waveform as attached to this email. Could you please help me to implement this in LabVIEW .
In the attached picture.
value 1: 3
Time 1: 2
Tol+ = 0.5
Tol -=0.5
value 2: 3.5
Time 1: 5
Tol+ = 1
Tol -=1
Thanks

Hi tintin,
you have to calculate all time values (t-dt, t+dt) to set Y values at the correct X mark.
When you really need a waveform (in the LabVIEW definition of a Waveform) you have to choose a waveform-dt, that is the GCD of your t-tolerance values...
Instead of begging for help you should have started to code and you should have provided your current state of VI...

How to load a custom waveform for use with DAQ voltage generation

I would appreciate some advice on how to take a custom waveform (just a modified triangle wave with pauses at the tops and bottoms) and use that to control the voltage output from a DAQ.
Some background: My intent is to use the waveform to control mirror scanning for a LADAR imaging application . Because our DAQ (NI-6251) only has one clock, it cannot update the X and Y channel voltages independently. I'm using a triangle wave to control both axes, which works fine for the X direction. However, to prevent the Y axis from incrementally steping up after every X pixel, I'd like to construct a waveform, similar to a step pyramid, so that the Y axis remains constant over the X sweep and only updates to the next row after all X pixels are collected.
I assume I can make the desired plot in excel, and then read it in somehow - but this is where I start to get fuzzy. Can any one point me to an example or tutorial on this?
Some other questions:
1. Do I needto worry about scaling? will my custom plot need to contain a specific number of points (perhaps the exact number of pixels in the image)?
2. If I change the image dimensions, will I need to revise the control waveform in the Y axis?
Thanks in advance,
jimmy

This thread didn't appear to go anywhere. I am trying to do something similar and was looking for help. I want to create a repeating output voltage wave based off the excel file attached(with times). Is there a way to have my program match the output voltage and time with the table attached on a repeat and send that signal to the output?
Thanks,

How to build a custom Flash CS3 component

I just googled in the hope to find some resources about how
to build custom Flash CS3 components, but nothing turned up. I also
couldn't find any info on Adobe's Flash developers center.
Do you know of any resource that sheds some light on this
subject?
If not then I'll have to try to find my way around custom
components by learning from the ones that came with Flash CS3 I
guess.

Flash CS3 has been out for a few weeks. At this point, your
best bet is Amazon books or Barnes & Noble. I've read a few
books that should shed light on the subject. Otherwise, you'll need
to wait a few more weeks while people start hashing it out and
posting it to blogs and other sites.

URGENT: How to build composite custom component with a valuechangelistener?

Hi there!
I already posted regarding this issue before but unfortunately there wasn't any answer. But I don't think what I am trying to achieve is something unusual.
I am trying to build a composite custom component, that consists of some UISelectOne components and some UIInputText fields. Now I need to fill the combo boxes depending on the selected values of the other boxes. Therefore I added a value change listener. But when it fires I get an index out of bounds exception on the page.
The problem seems to be that the child components are being added twice to the component: Once in the constructor (which I am doing and which is called everytime the component is built) and once as part of the Restore View Phase (which JSF is doing).
So my question is: How and where do I correctly initialize my component's children?
A full code example can be found under http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=586301&tstart=150
Thanks a lot in advance!

#2 sounds utterly strange to me. How would I utilize the phase id?The code below shows my idea whereas I never validate it in any real projects:
public class MyPhaseListener implements PhaseListener {
     private static final String IDKEY = "PHASEID";
     public static PhaseId getCurrentPhaseId() {
          return (PhaseId) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestMap().get(IDKEY);
     public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent event) {
event.getFacesContext().getExternalContext().getRequestMap().put(IDKEY,event.getPhaseId());
     public PhaseId getPhaseId() {
          return PhaseId.ANY_PHASE;
}You can write your constructor like as:
if (MyPhaseListener.getCurrentPhaseId().equals(PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE ) {
     /* create children because this is the first time to create the component */
}

How to build a custom movie clip that will be used as a cell renderer for column in a grid ?

i want to build a datagrid that shows a picture and underneath it a name.
the problem is i dont want to see all of the pictures, but all the pictures that have certain requirements, so i cant just make one movie clip that includes all the pictures and names.
so my question is how do i build a movie clip that contains photo and text?.

You do not create movieclips on the timeline using code, though you can create them and add them as children of something that has been manually placed in the timeline.
To create a MovieClip using code you use:
    var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
If you need to add an image, then however you intend to acquire the image, after it has been acquired, you add it to the MovieClip using:
    mc.addChild(img);
where img is the instance of whatever form of object the image takes (Bitmap, Loader)
If you need to add a TextField to the MovieClip then you use:
    var tf:TextField = new TextField();
    mc.addChild(tf);
and you can set up properties for the textfield such as the font and color and position as well after it has been instantiated (the first line).

How to Build Custom JSP Page to bypass Oracle Apps Login

Hi All,
Can some one guide me how to develop a custom jsp page to bypass Oracle Apps R12 Login.
Actually Our requirement is some external user will enter the login details in some third party login page with the third party generated username and passwrod, that user's credentials are mapped to oracle system,so as soon as they enter credentials having validated it has to redirect that external user to Oracle Apps R12 Home Page, where responsibilities are shown. Currently that third Party login page is set to redirect to RF.jsp but that is not working and throws this error:
"You are trying to access a page that is no longer active.
- The referring page may have come from a previous session.Please select Home to Proceed"
So I am planning to build a custom jsp page to resolve the error.
As soon as user enter credentials in the third party login page, it will be redirected to my custom login page which in turn redirect external user to Oracle Apps R12 Home Page, where responsibilities are shown. Is it possible? If yes what JSP Page/Servlet I have to invoke from custom JSP Page and what all URL parameters or session parameters and cookies parameter I have to pass or set.
Can anybody please help me...
Its very urgent. We are running short of time. Its a sev 1 issue.
Please reply soon.

Hi,
Thanks for the update.
Sir its not about calling the JSP Page from OAF page.
My requirement is what I have explained above.
Please suggest its urgent.

RS232 and how to build some datas into a waveform

Hello everyone !
I would like to ask you a question about how to build some datas into waveform.
Let's me explain :
Actually, I am working on a project with a PIC.
The PIC sent 3 informations to Laview by RS 232 :'velocity;current;tension\n'
Lynn and Crossrulz help me to make a diagram that allows to read datas and displays them with charts.
It works perfectly.
Now, I would like to display some datas from a sensor (dynamic datas) and double datas from RS232 on the same chart with different plot.
So, I have to build double datas into waveform, convert double datas into dynamic datas.
I have tried something : I used 'Convert to dynamic data' function but it doesn't work and I don't know why.
Can you help me ?
I join you :

Hello Crossrulz !
Thanks again for your help.
I have found Build Waveform but I get a strange result.
As first step, I have simplified my problem and I have just tried to build a waveform from my datas.
Since Build Waveform must have an array as input, I have used Array Subset.
As result, I don't get a plot but if you pay attention, you can see a little white dot around my value.
How can I fix that ?
Thanks again

How to create a custom panel in the right way (without having an empty panel in the file info) ?

Hi Everyone
My name is Daté.
I'm working in the fashion industry as a designer and Design consultant to help fashion brands improving the design workflow by using Adobe softwares and especially Illustrator.
I'm not a developper, but i'm very interested about the possibility to introduce xmp technology to provide more DAM workflows in the fashion industry.
Fashion designers produce a lot of graphical objects in illustrator or Photoshop. Unfortunately they are faced to a big challenge which is about how to manage, search, classify and get this files faster. Of course PDM system or PLM system are used in the Fashion industry to manage data, but for many companies, implemanting this kind of database is very complex.
When i look at what you can do with xmp, it seems to be an interesting way of managing design files, then i started to follow Adobe instruction to try to build a custom panel.
The main idea is to (Theory) :
create custom panels used by fashion designers to classify their design files.
Use Adobe Bridge to search files, create smart collection to make basic reports in pdf and slideshows
Find someone to make a script able to export metadata in xml files
Use indesign and the xml file to generate automatically catalogues or technical sheets based on xmp values
I have created a custom panel by using the generic panel provided by Adobe and i have modified the fields to feet with the terms used in the fashion industry and it works well.
But unfortunately, when i try to create my own custom panel from scratch with Flashbuilder (4.6) and the Adobe CSExtensionBuilder_2 (Trial version), it doesn't work!
Here is the process :
I have installed flashbuilder 4.6
I have download the XMP Fileinfo SDK 5.1 and placed the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4_1.1.0.jar in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins
In Flashbuilder, i have created a new project and select xmp Custom panel
The new project is created in flashbuilder with a field with A BASIC Description Field
To generate the panel, right click the project folder and select xmp / Publish Custom Panel
The panel is automatically generated in the following folder : C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels
Go to illustrator, Open the file Info
The panel appears empty
The others panel are also empty
The panel is created and automatically placed in the right folder, but when you open it in Illustrator by selecting the File Info option in the File Menu, this custom panel appears empty!!! (only the title of the tab is displayed). This panel also prevent the other panels to be displayed.
When you delete this custom panels from the folder C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels and go back to the File Info, the other panels display their content properly.
I also try to use the plugin XMP Namespace designer to create my own namespace. this plugin is also able to generate a custom panel, but this one also appears empty in AI or Photoshop.
I try to follow the process described in Adobe xmp documentation many times, but it didn't works.
It seems that many peaople have this issue, but i dodn't find a solution in the forum.
I try to create a trust file (cfg), but it didn't work.
It would be so kind if you can help me to understand why i can't create a custom panel normally and how to do it in the right way.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Best regards,
Daté

Hi Sunil,
After many trial, i realize the problem was not coming from the trust file, but from the way i have created the custom panel.
There is 2 different ways, the first described below is not working whereas the second is fine :
METHOD 1 :
I have downloaded the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6
In the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6 folder, i copied the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4x_1.2.0.jar plugin from the Tools folder and i pasted it in the plugind folder of Flashbuilder 4.6
The plugin install an XMP project
In Flashbuilder 4.6 i have created a new project (File / New /Project /XMP/XMP Custom Panel)
A new xmp project is created in flashbuilder.
You can publish this project by right clicking the root folder and selecting XMP / Publish Custom Panel
The custom file info panel is automatically published in the right location which is on Mac : /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0 or /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0
Despite the publication of the custom file info panel and the creation of a trust file in the following location : "/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust", the panel is blank in Illustrator.
I try this way several times, with no good results.
METHOD 2 :
I have installed Adobe CSExtensionBuilder 2.1 in Flash Builder
In FlashBuilder i have created a new project (File / New /Project /Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder/XMP Fileinfo Panel Project)
As the system display a warning about the version of the sdk to use to create correctly a custom file info, I changed the sdk to sdk3.5A
The warning message is : "XMP FileInfo Panel Projects must be built with Flex 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 SDK. Building with Flex 4.6.0 SDK may result in runtime errors"
When i publish this File info panel project (right click the root folder and select Run as / Adobe illustrator), the panel is published correctly.
The last step is to create the trust file to display the fields in the panel and everything is working fine in Illustrator.
The second method seems to be the right way.
For sure something is missing in the first method, and i don't understand the difference between the XMP Custom Panel Project and the XMP Fileinfo Panel Project. Maybe you can explain it to me.
So what is the best solution ? the right sdk to use acording to the creative suite (the system asks to use 3.3 or 3.5 sdk for custom panels, so why ?)
I'm agree with Pedro, a step by step tutorial about this will help a lot of peaople, because it's not so easy to understand!!!
Sunil, as you belong to the staff team, can you tell me if there is :
A plugin or a software capable to extract the XMP from llustrator files to generate XML workflows in Indesign to create catalogues
A plugin to allow indesign to get custom XMP in live caption
A plugin to allow Bridge to get custom XMP in the Outputmode to make pdf or web galeries from a smart collection
How can you print the XMP data with the thumbnail of the file ?
Thanks a lot for your reply.

NAV 2013 R2; How to run a customized report (206 sales invoice) in the classic client

Hello, in preparing a newly installed NAV 2013 R2, I'm questioning the following:
In the Development Environment I have customized report 206 Sales - Invoice in the Design menu View Layout with the space of the logo (by Microsoft SQL Server Report Builder) and
finally saved and compiled.
When I do run it connects to the server of what I call the classic client or the real NAV 2013 R2 and I can select a posted sales invoice to show the new layout and the result is
fine as customized as I wanted.
When I later ordinary print one of the posted sales invoices this customized logo layout doesn't appear on the print. I print in PDF and paper. When I make a next new sales invoice
this new layout is not in use either.
Another thing is run print started from the Development Environment is called Sales - Invoice in the header and not just Invoice that it the name when printing when invoicing and
printing of posted documents.
Additionally this form of Sales - Invoice shows our company details and good information as web, e-mail, bank account and bank name that is well demanded on a perfect invoice.
How to get these informations out normally?
Is the classic client having a wrong report as sales invoice?
How to run a customized report (206 sales invoice) in the classic client NAV 2013 R2?
It is like the customized report (206 sales invoice) is not in use yet in the classic client.
All you wise people out there are welcomed to help me now

How to add a custom multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played?

How to add a custom skin in multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played? As it is being played...
I need a time line so any part of the what is being played can be found by time, ie at 1 minute and 30 seconds in and continues for 45 seconds out of a 50 minute audo.

If you're talking about a playback controller within the rich media annotation (RMA) then you need to write your own widget in Flash or Flex, and then place the video and widget files using the multimedia "Add Flash" tool in Acrobat instead of the "Add Video" tool. Aside from a bunch of proprietary code to handle events, commenting and the API (which you can live without for basic play-pause-scrub applications), video RMAs are just an embedded SWF file containing an FLVPlayback component. The skin and the video file itself are added to the RMA as resource entries. You can build your own version and have it display whatever controls you want, provided you know how to write ActionScript!
If you're talking about a controller that's external to the RMA (e.g. a series of links or buttons elsewhere on the page) then in the past you would use FLV video files and the 'cue points' feature that's built into Acrobat - however Adobe removed the ability to create FLV files in the latest version of CC, so unless you have CS6 or earlier it's a non-starter. Instead you can manually set playback start points using the special "multimedia operations" link action in your PDF - though stopping playback at a defined point is very difficult without FLV cues. For that you're back to writing your own widget.

How to use a custom.dll in forms 6i

Hi,
i have made a small dll using a icon-making software, that software has made a .dll of the icon I made in that software
Now i want to use that .dll in my forms 6i. (client/server)
the dll contains only one icon named 'Icon1'
would any one please tell me how can I call that icon in that .dll to view in my forms button at run time..
is this possible..??
just for clarification, for security reasons I am not using the .ico of that icon diect from hardisk in my button thats why i made a .dll of that so that the user may not be able copy my icon
thanks in advance,

Here is the doc
Doc ID:      Note:99824.1
Subject:      How to Display User-Defined Cursors and Icons in Forms
Type:      BULLETIN
Status:      PUBLISHED
     Content Type:      TEXT/X-HTML
Creation Date:      23-FEB-2000
Last Revision Date:      30-OCT-2002
PURPOSE
The purpose of this note is to explain how to display customized
cursors and icons in Forms 6.0 on Windows platform (32 bits).
Assumption is made that resources are stored in a DLL, which is
available in the path at runtime.
It is mandatory to store the cursor in a DLL to make it available
with Forms: .cur cursor files cannot be directly loaded from the
file system.
On the other hand, icons .cio files can directly be read from the
filesystem by Forms Runtime. However we will focus on icons which are
stored in a DLL.
The article is divided into two main parts:
- how to build a resource-only DLL with Visual C++ 5.0
- how to display the cursor and the icon in Forms 6.0
SCOPE & APPLICATION
The intended audience needs to have basic knowledge in Forms Builder
and also in Visual C++ (or any other Win32 compiler).
A typical environment is Forms 6.0, Visual C++ 5.0 and Windows NT.
WHAT IS A RESOURCE ?
A resource can be considered as some extra binary information that can
be added to an executable file. Windows resources are for example icons,
cursors, menus, dialog boxes, keyboard-accelerator tables and much more.
Resources are usually stored in a .rc file, which is compiled by the
resource compiler in order to provide a .res file. These compiled resources
can then be appended to a binary executable file or a DLL.
For instance, Visual C++ 5.0 includes a resource editor which allows you to
draw your icons and your cursors, and store them in a resource file.
Part I - BUILDING A RESOURCE-ONLY DLL
Consider the following setup:
- myicon.ico: icon file
- mycur.cur: cursor file
The objective of this section is to build a DLL called proj.dll which
contains both the icon and the cursor. This operation requires several steps.
Step 1: Create a project
In Visual C++, select menu File->New... In the dialog box, choose the Projects
tab and pick "Win32 Dynamic Link-Library". Fill the project name (e.g. Proj)
and the location (e.g. c:\MyProjects). Check 'Create new workspace', check
Win32 as target platform and click on OK.
This creates a directory c:\MyProjects\Proj, where necessary .rc and .cpp
files can be stored. Place the .ico and .cur files in this directory too.
Step 2: Add a resource file to the project
Create a proj.rc file, edit it and make sure it contains the following lines:
testcur CURSOR DISCARDABLE "mycur.cur"
testico ICON DISCARDABLE "myicon.ico"
This is the resource file. Using the Project->Add to Project->Files... menu,
select the proj.rc file and add it to the current project.
Step 3: Add a dummy C++ file to the project
Create a proj.cpp file, edit it and make sure it contains the following lines:
#include <windows.h>
extern "C"
BOOL WINAPI DllMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID)
     return 1;
This creates an entry-point in the DLL. This function does nothing but is mandatory
to have a DLL after the build of the project.
Add the proj.cpp file to the project as described in Step 2.
Step 4: Choose the target type
At this moment, you can choose if you need a 'DEBUG' or a 'RELEASE' flavour of
the DLL. As there is not much to debug in this DLL, the 'RELEASE' flavour is
recommended. Furthermore, it is much more compact.
Using the Build->Set Active Configuration... menu, choose the Proj - Win32 Release
as the active configuration.
Step 5: Build the DLL
Now, it is time to compile the resource file, compile the C++ file, link both
together and build the proj.dll DLL. This operation is performed by using the
Build->Rebuild All menu.
After a short time, you should see "Proj.dll - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)" in
the Visual C++ message window. This means that the DLL was built successfully.
Step 6: Place the DLL in the appropriate directory
The proj.dll file is currently located under the c:\MyProjects\Proj\Release
directory. Copy it in an appropriate directory which is reachable in the
runtime environment path.
Part II - USING THE ICON AND CURSOR IN THE FORM
At this stage the DLL is created and can be used in the Form application.
Again, this is a multi-step procedure.
Step 1: Load the DLL in the Forms Runtime environment
Assuming the proj.dll DLL is placed in a directory pointed by the
PATH environment variable, below is the piece of PL/SQL code which loads
the DLL into the Forms Runtime environment. This code can be placed in the
WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger for example:
declare
     hDLL     ORA_FFI.LIBHANDLETYPE;
begin break;
     --Preload the DLL so the cursor and Icons can be found.
     -- I'm assuming the DLL is in the path here
     hDLL := ORA_FFI.LOAD_LIBRARY(NULL,'proj.dll');
exception
     when ORA_FFI.FFI_ERROR then
          for i in 1..TOOL_ERR.NERRORS LOOP
               message(TOOL_ERR.MESSAGE(i));
          end LOOP;
end;
Step 2: Display the cursor stored in the DLL
Now, you may want to change the cursor when the user clicks on
a specific button. This is an example of code that could be set
in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:
set_application_property(CURSOR_STYLE,'<proj>TESTCUR');
<proj> refers to the proj.dll. Please note the < and > signs
which are mandatory there. TESTCUR is the name of the cursor resource
as defined in the proj.rc file.
Step 3: Display the icon stored in the DLL
You may also want to change the icon of an iconic button after
some specific end-user action. The appropriate code for that is:
set_item_property('IBUTTON',ICON_NAME,'<proj>TESTICO');
IBUTTON is a PushButton, with the Iconic property set to Yes.
TESTICO is the name of the icon resource as defined in the proj.rc file.
Asim.

How to create a custom Button in a SNP planning book

Hi Experts,
I created my own Planning Book and Dataview in SNP with 3 Key Figures: KF1, KF2, KF3. Now I want to create one my own button with Macro so that when I press that button, the Macro will run to calculate: KF3 = KF1 + KF2.
I know that I can drag this Macro to one of default events like: Default, Level Change, Start. But actually, I want to create my own button so that I can handle the event as I want.
My question are:
1. How to create a custom button on the toolbar of SNP Planning book and writing macro for the button?
2. Please give me any document, material teaching about writing macro and relating to my above scenario.
Thanks very much!
Duyennx

Hi,
Access the transaction "/n/sapapo/advm". In the list select your planning book/ data view and click 'Start Macro Builder' button.
In the Macro builder screen, drag and drop your macro from Macro depot to the work area.
Right click on your macro name and select 'properties'. In the pop up, next to the Assigned Push button field, there is a button 'Choose'. Click that. It will display all the available icons. In standard system, it displays more than 1000 icon. Choose any one icon which is suitable for your macro function. Close the pop up and save the macro. This will assign a push button to your macro.
In the Planning book tool bar, you can see the selected icon in the header tool bar. Just by clicking that icon, you can execute the macro interactively.
And I don't know whether we can include/design our own icon. But there are already 1000+ standard icons to choose.

AP to GL Transfer: How to have a custom Journal Header name in GL.

Hi,
Does any one know how to have a custom Journal Header name while transferring the Journals from AP to GL?
Assume that I am transferring the Journals which belongs to a Single Invoice from AP to GL. When these Journals are transferred from AP to GL, Oracle will create a Journal Header with the default naming convention. The Oracle generated Header name will be as shown below.
*123456 Purchase Invoices USD*. Where 123456 is AE_HEADER_ID and USD is the Invoice Currency code.
Our requirement is, we want the Journal Header name something like *"Hello World"+TIMESTAMP*, where TIMESTAMP is the date when the user has ran the AP to GL transfer program.
I know that when building the AAD(Application Accounting Definition) we can define the Journal Header descriptions and Journal Lines descriptions. But, I did not see any setup option to have the custom Journal Header name in GL.
Any suggestions on this issue are highly appreciated.
Advanced Thanks,
Lokesh.

Hi Lokesh,
The best way to have a custom journal header name is using hook package.
When data move from XLA to GL, every time it creates a new dynamic table as GL_INTERFACE table but the name is different (XLA_GLT_XXXXX).
This table information stores in 'gl_interface_control' table but after use the record has deleted from 'gl_interface_control'.
So we can't see table information after finishing create accounting program.
What the modification you will made in this table it will affect GL base table. So to made custom journal header name, we need to change Reference4 column of dynamic table.
Here is the code to get the table name and through procedure you can update the Reference4 column.
FUNCTION pre_module_hook(run_id IN NUMBER,
               errbuf IN OUT NOCOPY VARCHAR2) RETURN BOOLEAN IS
chr_errbuf varchar2(50);
chr_retcode varchar2(50);
l_interface_Table_name varchar2(2000);
