How to remotely control an instrument?

Hello,
I have an instrument(TDS Oscillscop) hich is connected to a host computer through GPIB, so how can I do to control this instrument at home? thanks,
Mike

You could configure the host computer to use VISA Server, then access the instrument as if it was connected to your computer at home.
The concept is simple, but things like firewalls, routers and port number filtering often get in the way when trying to do this sort of thing over the internet.

In Logic Pro 9, how many midi controlled software instruments do you get...?

In Logic Pro 9, how many midi controlled software instruments do you get and is there possibility to download more as it says 40 on the programs info on the Mac Store, as i intend to compose on it but with only 40 instruments it's not really worth it.
So i was just wondering whether it let you download more for free.
Thanks for reading
~Matt

Yes: I too am interested in the software instruments available in Logic Pro: one has to be a bit wary of the jam packs because there don't seem to be many solo instruments included. But I looked at the Logic screen in an Apple store the other day, and it worked like GarageBand in
this respect: you created a new track choosing the software instrument option and a whole lot of instruments came
up in a column on the right: lots of solo wind instruments, plenty of keyboards and guitars of course and not very many solo strings, only one violin, in the world music subsection under Irish fiddle. Yehudi Menuhin
where are you when we need you?
What I've been trying to find out is which part of the purchase does this long list of software instruments arrive with, because it's basically the only reason
I'm interested - I get on fine with gb but it
Just hasn't got enough instruments, and as I say the jam packs don't seem
to resolve this ? Or do they? Could someone please help
me with this?

WIth LabVIEW how do I control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a RS232 to USB converter cable.

WIth LabVIEW how do I control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a RS232 to USB converter cable since I dont have rs232 ports. I have two instruments that I want to control in this manner. One is an Imada ZPS force gage with RS232 output. The other is a Panasonic HL-G103-S-J laser micrometer sensor which is RS422. I've done considerable LabVIEW programming using GPIB but I have no experience with devices like these. Any tutorial or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I understand that you want to control a device which having RS 232 port as output. If so, you can use an USB-RS232 cable from PC to device and you can control or monitor the device.
See this link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2669
Also, first check the device in hyperterminal and then continue to program in labVIEW. You can find the serial VI's in Instrument I/O.

How to remotely control WebAS

Hi,
I'm using NetWeaver 2004S, NewYork 711 and NewYork 720, I want to find a solution to remotely control the server, such as remotely re-start WebAS or a specified service, (these WebAS cover windows, Linux, and unix platforms), it would be better if just a command, and I onlyneed to provide the connection parameters.
I know there must be a solution, but I haven't idea how to do this, anyone can help me?
thanks in advance!
Regards,
Qinzhu

Hi,
maybe a standard webservice could help you, with this address :
http://<hostname>:port+13/?wsdl
it provides several monitoring function, and also a "restart" one.
Also you can use the Visual Administrator to connect to a distant server, and reboot from here, also a SAP MMC can be used to reference differents servers.

"How can i control the instrument with SCPI command by Borland C++ v3.1 using RS232 port"

"hi....
I've ever controlled some instrument by GPIB interface using Labview 6.0...it's really easy to implement .....but the problem is that i hvae to control those instrument under the pure DOS environment now ..so i have to abandon the using of GPIB interface and Labview ....then i choose the RS232 interface with programing the Borland C++ v3.1 and sending the SCPI command by bioscom()....but it got no response at all......so i am wonder if i can control those instrument by using RS232 interface and Borland C++ v3.1 to implement a pure Dos program????if yse,how can i do and is there any sample can be refer to ????
thank you for you help"

Hello Alvin-
We do not have any sample code for programming RS 232 in C on our website. However, you may want to looks at these links for general troubleshooting tips for serial:

How to remotely control my Mac at home?

I'm at work on a Mac Pro.
I want to control my iMac at home.
Both of the Macs are running OS Lion (10.7.5).
I just bought Apple Remote Desktop software.
How do I connect & control my Mac at home?
Thanks,
Wayne

You need something different since Remote Desktop only works on the same network. You were not clear.
You need one of these:
Set up and use Back to My Mac - Apple Support

How to remotely control objects from transport request

Hi all,
I have to perform some task but can't find the way to get it done. What I have to do is:
a) get list of transport requests for given SAP system (i.e. its import queue)
b) let the user choose transport requests from the list
c) get list of all objects from chosen transport requests
d) control these objects in source and destination (from point a) ) SAP system.
Points a) to c) are easy and already done (using appropriate function modules and ALV objects). But I have no idea how to do things from point d). Control means comparison of dates (i.e. last modified) of objects in source and destination SAP system. The main goal of this approach is to avoid transportation of older objects from source system (DEV) and overwritting newer versions of the objects in destination system (PRD). I tried to use SAP versioning system to check versions remotely (the same way as it can be done from standard SAP transactions, e.g. SE38 for program source) with RFC and it worked fine (see function module SVRS_DISPLAY_REMOTE_DIR). But what about other objects not covered with versioning system? There are 932 objects that can be transported (at least TR_OBJECT_TABLE function module says so). Versions management system covers about 30 (program source, function module, object methods, table definitions, lock objects, and so on) of them. The problem is with the rest (900 transportable objects).
How can I check their dates remotely in source and destination SAP system. Any clues? Manual retrieval of the information about dates of 900 various SAP elements must be very difficult (if possible at all) because so many objects must be spreaded out in many tables. Is there any universal or standard way (report, RFC function module) to get required information?
Thanx in advance,
Jacek Witczak

Hi
There is no automatic way to delete the unnecessary objects from the transport reqeust.
1. Go to Tcode se09 and select the request which contains the unnecessary objects.
2. Select the unnecessary objects and delete manually.
Also if you want to delete the entire request then unlock the request in the tcode SE03 and then delete the request completely.
Also note that if the request is released then you will not be able to delete the objects in that request.
Hope it helps.

How can Remote control my volume??

I see in the pic on the itunes page showing the ability to control the volume on apple TV. how do I get this functionality? I can not find it anywhere!
Thanks, Mark

Well there is another way to control the volume of your reciever using the apple remote app with your second gen apple tv...you can turn on remote speakers setting in itunes, then make sure you select the apple tv as one of your speakers(this should appear as an airplay icon on the bottom right of itunes screan, just click and select apple tv as a speaker), you might have to enable this on apple tv device as well, then in the apple remote software select the itunes library for control instead of apple tv, now you can play your music thru the app and control volume. The kick is that you wont get all the functionality control(see your playlists on the screen, album art etc...you still get a small notification on your tv of what is playing) that you get when selecting apple tv as the library to control. Also if you dont want it to play out of your computure speakers as the same time then you need to only select apple tv as the speaker to control

How To Remotely Control a PC

Could somebody please explain how I can take control of my sister's laptop as she is unable to download an anti-virus programme. I would like to do it with my Mac (she has Windows). It may make no difference but if so I have Windows on a partition anyway.
Thank you in anticipation.
Tony

Many thanks Arthur. In fact I found a tutorial that was a help but ideally I need to practise how to show my sister how to set up her laptop first so will do that with an old laptop I have. It's good I can work in Windows with both because of your good advice on the question of infections.
I believe she has made a connection before so that may be a help.

How to remote control EyeTV being streamed to ATV3 via AirParrot?

Hi.
I use AirParrot to stream full-screen EyeTV to my ATV3. The ATV is in the living room and the desktop which runs EyeTV is in my office. I'd like to be able to pause, rewind and fast-forward stuff while watching tv in the living room.
EyeTV has an iPhone app called, surprise, surprise, "EyeTV" -- but that app seems to be geared more toward streaming EyeTV content from one's desktop onto the iPhone. I need simple remote functions on the Iphone to control the EyeTV software running on the desktop.
Does anyone have experience with this particular setup? Or any tips what remote app could be used on the iPhone for this?
All best,
Tench

Hi there,
You can do this across any network, as long as you have access on that network. I would recommend setting a static IP address for your Real-Time controller, as the poster above indicated. It would probably be a good idea for you to set this up with your IT administrator, as he/she may have dedicated IP addresses for you.
Other things to watch out for, especially in a company office, are firewalls and anti-virus software on your computer, which may inhibit the ability to communicate with the device in Measurement & Automation Explorer.
Talk to your IT department to make sure that you can be granted access to the network. This also applies to foreign networks; it is possible to connect to your controller on any other network, but you will have to work with your IT department in order to obtain access remotely. For example, you may need to set up VPN.

How to unable my MacBook Pro from recognizing apple tv remote control

When changing menues in my apple tv, the MacBook Pro recognizes and automatically activates front row.
Don't want my MacBook Pro to recognize this remote control. How can I do this?
Thanks

I would suggest posting your question in either an Apple TV or Macbook Pro forum, this is an iMac forum.

I am a newer about LabVIEW.How can I realize a remote control in a Web brower.

"To transform your application into a remote laboratory, make sure the VI that you want to publish is loaded into LabVIEW memory. Next, select the Web Publishing Tool option from the Tools menu. This window is the main window for interactively creating and publishing your remote laboratory
The Web publishing tool will automatically load in the Document Title and VI Name text fields. As the sample image in Figure 6 illustrates, the Document Title, Text 1, and Text 2 are all text fields that you can use to customize the Web page created with the publishing tool.
The second step necessary to enable a remote laboratory is to select the Start Web Server button. When pressed, this button activates the built-in LabVIEW Web server, which will publish and control your front panel images from the Internet.
Once the Web server is activated, the actual HTML document needs to be created and saved so it can be accessed remotely. Clicking on Save to Disk places an HTML file called Document Title.htm into the LabVIEW file folder called WWW by default. Saving your Remote Panels HTML documents into this folder will ensure that the LabVIEW Web server can find them. Either keep the default name, or assign a new name and save the file. Once saved, a new panel entitled Document URL pops up with a message box containing the URL address of your enabled LabVIEW application.
Click on OK in the Document URL window and then click on Done in the Web Publishing Tool window. Your lab is now ready for remote visitors
Required Software
To operate a LabVIEW program using remote panels, it is necessary to have the free LabVIEW run-time engine installed on the client computer. When a remote viewer logs onto the lab with the appropriate URL address, the LabVIEW front panel will appear in the browser, or reroute the user to install the run-time engine from the National Instruments Web site.
Application Control
Once connected to the remote laboratory, the client connection will automatically be in a monitor state. If another client is controlling the remote laboratory, the user will be able to monitor the actions of the controlling client. To request control of the program, right click on the front panel and select Request Control. Once selected, one of two possible messages will appear. Either the user will be granted control (Control Granted), or the user will see a message indicating that control is currently granted to another user (Waiting for control: Either the server is locked or another client has control). If another client has control, the controlling client will be notified that control time has now become limited. Once the timeout occurs or the controlling client has released control, application control is automatically switched to the requesting client (Control Granted). Once the user has been granted control, all icons and controls will become active and running the LabVIEW application is exactly like running the application from the local environment.
Releasing Control
When the remote viewer either moves on to a different URL address or relinquishes control by right clicking and selecting (Release Control), or when the remote laboratory times out, the remote laboratory is available to the next visitor."
The above is what I read from a text of ni.com,
but I can not obtain the result.
Thanks a lot!

Hi
I don't see which LV version you are using. It's important to know, that you need the FDS or PDS package of LV 6.1 to work with remote control. This feature is not supported in the LV base package of LV 6.1.
If you have LV 6.1 FDS or PDS, which of the described steps are not working?
