How to detect the final loop iteration of a step in a PostStep Engine Callback?

I see the need to use a PostStep Engine Callback and look at the Step.Result container of the caller.
My issue: If the caller is configured to loop, the PostStep Engine CB executes with each iteration and I do not see how to detect the final iteration (which is the only iteration I am interested in).
Ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance,
Guenter

Guenter,
well, the way i discripted IS the generic way. The reason for this is the following:
You can compare TestStand very well with procedural programming languages. So you have variables with different lifetimes and scope. RunState is one variable, which is available in every scope, but it may have different content.
So you leaving the execution of your clientsequence in order to call the callback, you leave the scope of the RunState from your clientsequence. But only there the information is stored on how many iterations are left. It does not make sense to pass this anywhere, since the execution of your clientsequence has to decide if to loop further or not.
But, please note that there are different scopes for the "disable result recording" as well. You have found the most global one, the station option. But you can as well set this in the sequence settings (Edit >> Sequence Properties >> Disable Result Recording for All Steps) and at step-level (Run Options >> Record Result {uncheck it}).
Looping on a single step using the step settings, you can additionally choose not to record results for each iteration. This will lead to only a single entry in the ResultList, the overall result of the looped step (if resultcollection is enabled of course!).
hope this helps,
Norbert

How to detect the key enter with a numerical control without using loop event?

I want to accept a numerical value only when the key enter is pressed, but without using the event. How to detect the char "enter" with a numerical control?
Thanks!

When the user edits a numeric control with a keyboard, its property "key focus" is true. When the user hits enter, key focus becomes false. Poll the property to latch the control valuse at the true-false transition. That won't work if the user modify the control using up and down arrows.

The speed of the "for loop iteration"

Hi all:
I have written a short mini program just to test out the speed of a "for loop iteration"
package generator;
* Title: 
* Description: 
* Copyright: Copyright (c) 2004
* Company: 
* @author not attributable
* @version 1.0
private static long tmp = 0;
public static int count=0;
public synchronized long getValue(){
 long value = 0;
 value = 10 * System.currentTimeMillis();
 if(value == tmp){
 value++;
 count++;
 tmp = value;
 return value;
public static void main(String[] args) {
 for (int i=0;i<1000;i++){
 getValue();
 System.out.println("count is " + count);
}And i find that on average, count will be a value between 498-500, which probably means that on average the speed of a for loop is around 0.5 ms. But I guess the speed of the "for loop " iteration is also very much CPU dependent, could somebody possibly give me some education on this issue :) ?
Also, anybody know exactly how System.currentTimeMillis works? For example, how does it get the current time from the OS, etc. let me know.
Again, Many many thanks...

Hi all:
I have written a short mini program just to test out the speed of a "for loop iteration"You will find the overhead of the getValue() call, the increments and most importantly the System.currentTimeMillis() is what you are timing.
 public static void main(String args[]) {
 int ITER = 1000000000;
 long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
 for(int i=0;i<ITER;i++);
 long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
 System.out.println("Iterations per sec="+ITER*1000L/(end - start));
 }Prints the following Iterations per sec=576368876Running on a 1.8 GHz Intel/Windows2000

How to remove the simulation loop from the block diagram

hi,
i have used lap view version 8.6 to design pid system. i have the pid block diagram with daq on simulation loop. now my supervisor want me to remove the simulation loop. anyone know how to remove the simulation loop without deleting the pid block diagram. i have attached my pid program.

You cannot remove the simulation loop alone because all the functions kept inside that loop will work inside that loop only. If you have to remove means then you have to find another way to inplement the PID control.
The best solution is the one you find it by yourself

a score board. well for this i have tried a script for two movie
clips ... wchich is working but ..i don know or i m not gettng the
logic how to detect the collission for duplicated movie clips...
well i m just giving the script for oinly 2 movie clips
coliding...can any one tell me how to do it with randmize or
duplkicated mcs??
for 2 movie clip ...
_root.mc1.onEnterFrame = function() {
if(this.hitTest(_root.egg)) {
_root.result="Oh no..... we are dead";
} else {
_root.result="we are going fine";
(this is happening ..but let me know how can i get the same
result for ranndom mcs)

Or one script for detecting Plug-in version for major browsers. Need full example code.

Wrote an article on this with code samples (Javascript + HTML) - basically there are differences between IE and other browsers. Chrome natively comes with the Chrome PDF Viewer so I've incorporated that in my detection script.
The script detects the browser type, and the installed acrobat version...

How to detect the path of Temp directory

I am writing a class library which allows users to manipulate a database in the web server java applications/applets. In my logic the Application/Applet communicate with a CGI script/Servlet in the server and that do all the database handling. My objective is to make the Client independant from the Database Drivers, and to some restrictions and possible security threats that can arrice when accessing the database directly.
99% of the work is done and now I am doing the fine tuning.
My Problem:
When the user downloading a blob object from the server database. each time the program read the blob it will get a new copy from the server. This is not good if the blob is large (few 100 megs) . So I am going to implement a cache system. but the problem is If I am caching in the memory it will not support large objects (Memory is a limited factor). So the preferance is use the Temperary files but I do not know how to detect the path to temperary folder.
And my 2nd questions is are the applets allowed to write and read in temperary folder.

The Java default temporary file path can be determined with
System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir")This is typically the same value as the os environment variable

How to detect the HTML extension window close in In-design? Does the In-design throws any event on opening/closing of extensions?

How to detect the HTML extension window close in In-design? Does the In-design throws any event on opening/closing of extensions?
I have a HTML extension running in In-design CC 2014 version.
I want to perform some required set of actions before my extension window is closed(by clicking on the cross button on top right corner).
Does In-design throws any event for it? Or can we capture it using C++ plugin in some way?

Naah.......haven't got any event for that yet.
Although, since HTML extensions are using chromium browser, as a workaround, u can attach listener to HTML onClose event, but it won't solve any purpose if you
are looking to logout session or do some business login in your code.

I'm not sure I understand your reply but when you insert images into Word that are larger than will fit on the page, they are automatically compressed. If you right click and select Size and Position you can restore it to 100% but you will not see all the image.

How to override the event loop

As a windows game developer, I have always overridden the application message loop to make sure that graphics were rendered when the CPU was idle, and still being able to process windows messages like keyboard/mouse events. CPU is then maxed out (except when a forced sleep or v-sync is enabled) to give highest performance on graphics, making a simple clear opengl window render at 3500 frames per second (I know this is idiotic but I'm trying to make a point).
Now that I'm porting my game engine (c++ code) to cocoa, I am struggling with how to implement the main loop. I could use a timer but this will fix the framerate and might be slow. It will prevent me to use the CPU to its full extent.
So: is there some kind of OnIdle event I can override? Or do I have to do the Event loop processing myself? And can anyone tell me how to do something like this? Is there a tutorial or a book or anything I can study to learn about this? I presume this is lower level API.
Any help is appreciated!
Dirk.

Michael may profess ignorance about MacOS X applications, but he is still 100% correct. You need to study the architecture and find the best way to work with it. The first thing to know is that the CPU is irrelevant. Let the GPU handle your graphics - that is what it does best. You do want your CPU to be as idle as possible. Approach it from a device-driver or event-driven perspective.
Just to clarify that I'm not a total noob trying to write his first program: of course I will not overly use the CPU if not necessary. I completely agree with what you guys say about maximizing CPU usage. My game engine on windows will put the CPU to sleep when it's not necessary making my engine perform very good with almost no CPU usage.
But... when I want to test if changes to my engine/shaders/... improve or degrade performance of the renderings, I want to be sure that everything is maxed out so that I can be sure that the difference is correct. On maxed out CPU/GPU, I will notice the difference when framerate goes for example from 2000 to 1900 while this will not be visible when just at 60 fps and a lot of free time. I will see 60 fps even when my code is worse. That's why I need to be able to test this.
Anyway, as I said, I completely agree and I will certainly do my very best to make sure that CPU is not overly used. So my question remains: how can I make sure that I have everything I need at the time I need it while I will do my best to make sure nothing more is used?
Timer-events at 1/60th of a second is not the answer...
Using threads for these things is not the answer... I use them for other things (loading from disk/processing data/generating data)
But are there other options?
Can you point me to where I can learn more about the architecture and its possibilities?
