How to run stand alone executables developed with different versions of LabView on the same system

I am using LabVIEW 8.2 to develop a stand alone executable for a target system. The target system already has a stand alone executable written by another vendor, using LabVIEW 7.1. I installed the LV RunTime Engine for 8.2 which left the 7.1 engine intact (as it should). The problem I am now having is that the drivers installed on the target system are incompatible with the NI-DMM vi's that I am using. My concern is that if I replace the old drivers with the ones I am using on my development platform I may end up breaking the old software. What would be an appropriate work around to ensure that the target system will be able to run both executables? (FWIW the system will NOT be running both executables concurrently.)
The target system is an embedded PXI card cage, running Windows XP, with a NI PXI-4070 DMM (among other instruments, however I have had not had this issue with the NI-DAQmx drivers).

Hi Yerffejj,
Thanks for sharing your issue with the community. I am struggling to see what you mean by "break the software." If you only have the two executables and LV Run-Time versions 8.2 & 7.1, then you just need to go to http://www.ni.com/support/ » Drivers and Updates » Search within Results: » enter "NI-DMM" » GO to get the DMM driver you need. To see the driver you were using on the development machine, just go to Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). The DMM driver should also automatically install DAQmx, NI-VISA, and NI-IVI, fyi.
Best wishes to you, and please let us know if that does not solve your problem.

Can NI-PSP be used to communicate between machines developed with different versions of LabVIEW?

Hi all,
A customer has a large PC application developed with LabVIEW 2010 SP1.
They would like to add extend their system with a cRIO-9075. According to this document (ftp://ftp.ni.com/pub/devzone/tut/crio_software_versions.htm ), the minimum supported version of LabVIEW (with Scan Engine support) is LV 2011.
To minimize risks, it is preferred that we don't upgrade LabVIEW for the main application, which is atively being used in production.
I was thinking of developing the cRIO software in a newer version of LabVIEW (say, LV 2013 SP1), and using shared variables only to communicate between the PC and the cRIO.
Is this a viable option? Does it matter if the PC and the cRIO have different versions of the LV runtime?

It shouldn't matter, but then with shared variables you can never know for sure -- there are so many things that can make them break.
You might be money ahead to write the comm using TCP/IP. You know that will work.

How come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

how come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

Why? Because something is wrong.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

What is the best way to deal with different audio sample rates on the same timeline ?

what is the best way to deal with different audio sample rates on the same timeline ?

You don't have to do anything special. If possible, start your project with a clip that has the desired target frame rate and audio sample rate, and your project parameters will be set automatically. Other sample rates will be converted under the covers.
For example, if your video is shot at 48khz, you can add music files at 44.1khz with no problem.
If you are recording audio that you want to synch with video (multicam), you will get best results if everything is 48khz, but you can use 44.1 if that is all you have. Once I forgot to reset my Zoom to 48,000 and it still worked.

How can I handle deploying multiple test systems on the same PC that have been developed using different versions of LabVIEW, TestStand, and/or Switch Executive?

The major issue here is that the test systems must be documented and validated before being released to the production floor. Given this if a test station has multiple test systems deployed on it that have been developed on various versions of LV, TS, and Switch exec how can I force the test system selected to use the correct versions of TS, LV, and Switch exec.? I understand that the solution would be to recomplie everything and bring them up to the latest version but that would then require re-validation according to the QA department. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
It would be nice if theTS deployment was more like an LV executable... meaning when a LV executable is launched it always knows what LV runtime engine to use when there are multiple engines installed on a PC.

Hi,
Multiply versions of teststand can reside on the same system, but only one version can run at a time. They is a utility that has to be run to set the active version.
The SequenceFiles have a version number, and you will find an error will be generate if you try to Load the sequencefile in the wrong version of TestStand.
The labview VIs will only work providing the correct version of the RTE is also installed on your system, even a labview executabe requires the correct RTE to be installed, either as part of the executable installation or as a seperate installation, before the labview exe will work correctly.
I'm not fimilar with the Switch exec but I would expect that it will also require the correct lower level device drivers to be available for the version you are using.
Therefore, as you are indicating that some of your system are at a older version, its difficult to image how you could achive this, considering if you say you have different versions of the software(s). For a start, you may have the problem that newer code/ sequencefiles using additional functionatily not available in the older versions.
I would think your only solution would be to have different deployments covering the different versions you have, or at least bring all your test systems up to the same version of teststand.

How to run two instances of weblogic server as an NT service on the same machine

I have to have two instances, one I want to use it for development(testing
purposes) and the other one I need to use it as a live one(Production)
So that I can test my applications independently without disturbing the live
application.
Thanks
Madhu

I can start one instance as an NT service, but the other instance, I have to
start with the command. I need to run as an NT service because I need to
use NTRealm
Security
I have created a new domain , server listening to different port.
Thanks

machine.
But if you wish to do so, you can create multiple domains under the
same installation, say one for dev and one for prod. On the same
machine make sure they listen on different ports. This, of course,
ties you to the same version for development and production - making
it impossible to upgrade just one.
You may be able to do two completely different installations (i.e.
different BEA HOMEs) on the same machine - I haven't tried this but it
looks possible. This would mean you could upgrade each separately. The
presence of BEAHOMELIST in the registry on NT seems to indicate this
should work.

How to use two different versions of Firefox at the same time on Snow Leopard?

I recently upgraded to Firefox 4.0 on my 27" iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.7.
Previously, I was using Google's "Page Speed" along with Firebug in Firefox 3.6.15 to optimize images in my web pages, and to find other areas to optimize.
Page Speed is not yet compatible with Firefox 4.0. I wrote to Google about this some time ago -- no answer yet.
If I run Firefox 3.6.15 in order to use Page Speed, I run into a few problems afterward when I start using Firefox 4.0 again, since they both use the same "Firefox" folder in my "Application Support" folder.
How can I set it up so that I can have two separate "Firefox" folders in my "Application Support" folder?
Or is there an easier way to use two different versions of Firefox simultaneously, even if one has extensions and/or plug-ins installed which are not compatible with the other version?
Thanks for a great browser!

Please disregard my question. I just conducted more web search and learned how to use Firefox's profile manager in order to make a separate profile for Firefox 3.6.15.
You can find instructions on this page:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20profiles#os=mac&browser=fx35
'''A small tip:'''
If your Firefox app is named anything other than "Firefox" -- say for example "Firefox 3.6.15" -- when you follow the instructions at the above link, make sure you escape the blank space that is before the version number by adding a backward slash before it, when you type the command string in the Terminal. In other words, in that string, you should use this:
Firefox\ 3.6.15
I hope that helps someone.

Mixing materials with different Goods Receipt date in the same Storage Unit

Hello everybody,
I´d like to know how FIFO strategy would affect to this example:
Adding boxes from one storage unit (pallet) to another storage unit (pallet). Both storage units have different goods receipt dates, so there is a pallet which has boxes with different GR dates.
Would FIFO make difference among boxes inside the storage unit?. As far as I know, when adding stock (boxes) to a handling unit (pallet), the system keeps the oldest GR date and does not create new quant number for the incoming boxes
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Nagesh,
Thank you for the input. I am receiving Stock from vendor and while creating Inbound delivery i created the Handling Unit and also packed it and i could also post it (PG Receipt). Now when i am creating TO i have that error message. The Storage Location where i am receiving is 9001and i have also maintained the partner Storage location,,, its like this Plant(1000)-SLoc(9001)-Partner SLoc(9002).... now the Storage Location 9002 is not HU managed,, the reason i gave this Storage location is, initially i gave 9001, but system said "Storage Location 9001 and 9001 must have different management systems". So now kindly tell me what is the purpose of the partner Storage location and which storage location should i give, as my partner Storage location across "1000-9001-????" thank you again for ur inputs.
Regards,
Samuel

Iphone and ipad are with different carriers, can i use the same apple id on both?

Hi all,
I am having some difficulties with setting up my new ipad, i have a different telecommunications carrier for my iphone to my ipad, however my appleID does not allow me to enter another mobile number for my ipad. When i set up the ipad to my appleID, it automatically registered my iphone # as my contact for messaging. Is there any way to change the messaging number for the iPad yet still use the same appleID?

Yes. I use the same Apple ID on four different iDevices. You can sync the contacts with iCloud or with your computer and have them on both devices. You can sync all of the apps as well. If the apps are not in iTunes on your computer - you can download them to the iPad with the same Apple ID. You can also restore the iPad from a backup of the phone to transfer your settings, app data and your contacts.
iPhone only apps will be half size on the iPad screen but will still work as long - you can enlarge the size of the apps - but they will be pixelated on the screen.

HT5071 Can more then one person (with different Apple ID's) use the same iBookAuthor Program to Publish (house hold computer)?

I want to publish my fathers books using iBooks Author. I'm going to set him up with an Apple ID, but he does not have a computer and I will be publishing it from my personal computer. I have my own Apple ID and wish to publish my own books using the same program on the same computer. Will this be an issue? or will I be able to switch Apple ID's upon pushing it to pusblish?

I have a free books account and later applied for a paid books account.
This required setting up a new Apple ID and not using the same email or passwords.
So they are two totally separate accounts - on my computer.
That part is not a problem for you and your father.
The other aspect is both will need to open an iTunes Connect account for each ID.
I dont see delivery as a problem.
The part I am not sure about in your case is iTunes - as I only have me as usuer on the computer its never been an issue, but there is a Family sharing option available.
The previous post is the best starting point as you will both need separate accounts.

Can I have 2 iPhones with different Apple IDs link to the same Photo Stream?

My husband and I use the same computer and Aperture program. I set my iPhone up with the Photo Stream from Aperture with no problem but when he set his up, it didn't get the feed of pictures. We have different apple ID's on our phones? Can this be done?

just to add another question to this, can i subscribe to a photo stream, like my mate's?
i'm guessing no, and that htis wil be a future feature.
I've not found any referneces to this anywhere
much appreciated

Can two iPhones with different iSO get synchronized via the same iTunes?

Me and my wife have two iPhones 3S, sharing the same iTunes store account, which get usually synchronized via iTune 9.2. Now, I want to upgrade my iPhone to iSO4, while my wife is quite happy to momentarily stay with iSO 3.1.3. The question is will she be able to keep synchronizing her iPhone the old iSO3 way after me downloading (and installing) iSO4 on my iPhone? Need an advice before doing something foolish...

If you don't want to update your wife's phone, don't update. The OS is NOT part of the itunes sync, other than some apps may only work properly under iOS 4 once developers start updating their apps. You should have no problems doing what you want.

Running 2 different version of Quicktime at the same time ?

Is it possible to have two different versions of QuickTime installed on one PC at the same time ?
The reason for this is that I have been using Sony's software MovieShaker to import and work with Sony's proprietary MMV video camera format. This piece of software works with QuickTime version 5.
Now that I recently bought the iPod nano, I have installed iTunes, which of course works with a higher version of QucikTime (6+).
With this higher version of QuickTime, my video capture software does not work and vice versa, with QuickTime 5 my iTunes (and iPod nano) can not be used.
Is there a possible workaround that someone is aware of such that I can still work from one PC?
Appreciate any feedback - thanks
PC Windows Windows XP Pro Sony Movieshaker 3.1 MMV format

You can only have one full installation of the QuickTime system software but the Player is just an application and should work with later versions. So what you need to do is re-install QT 5, which you can find for Windows here:
http://www.apple.com/support/quicktime/
then rename QT Player, let say Quicktime Player5. then reinstall QT 6. This time it should ignore the renamed Player (to be safe save it off line somewhere before reinstalling QT 6). No guarantee for Windows but this techinque works fine in QT for MacOS. Hope this works for you.

Working with different sequence time-bases in the same Project..

Hi
My question is specific but hopefully will clear my understanding of how to deal with multiple frame rates in the one project...
I am supervising a project shot at 23.98 fps native in the DVCPro HD codec and editing in FCP 6.02.
The editor is cutting scenes in separate sequences.
Unfortunately they accidentally created a new sequence set for DV-NTSC, 29.97 fps and cut a scene in there. FCP must have prompted them about the mistake when the first clip was added... but they ignored it I guess.
When the scenes are compiled together in a single sequence (23.98fps) the incorrectly formatted DV one is all messed up size wise and aspect ratio (of course).
How to fix?
Here's what I've tried and failed at...
The source DV sequence can't be reset in itself because I can't change the timebase.....
If the DV sequence's clips are copied and pasted into a new 23.98 sequence the clips are still the wrong size... and there seems no way to change these attributes.
I tried exporting an EDL for the DV sequence and reimporting and relinking clips in a new 23.98 sequence... but the DV source has more than 2 Video tracks so EDL transfer won't work.
XML export/import just duplicates the original DV sized sequence..
I'm probably missing something .... like well, remake a new sequence correctly and re-edit it! But now I'm interested in what I'm missing here.
Anyone?
Thanks
Lee

Does a stand-alone EXE built with Labview 8.2 return a return code?

My application is an executable that was built from a VI in Labview 8.2. I'm expecting a return code of this stand-alone executable after the execution, however couldn't find a way to control the return code of the application.
Does a stand-alone executable built with Labview 8.2 return a return code? If yes, how is this code controllable?

Hi Tdot!
Thank you for contacting National Instruments. It looks like your question is something that many others have run into. This topic is discussed here, and looks to be answered along with a couple of suggestions. I hope this helps! Let me know if there is anything else I can clarify. Have a great day!
