How to use a LabVIEW tab constant?

Hello LabVIEW gurus,
The LabVIEW version in use: 2013 SP1
My OS: Win 7
When I use a tab constant, it only moves one space. Why is that? I would expect to see 5-6 white spaces
Any pointers will be appreciated greatly.
Thank you.

Yes this is normal. Have a tab be 10 pixels (or whatever) is defined by the program you are using. I'm guessing you want a table, or a multicolumn listbox where you can provide a 2D array of rows and columns, more like Excel. You can right click the string indicator and show slash codes and you'll see the tab is \t not \s for space so the tab is there it is just how you want to represent it.

How to use 2 level tabs? especially parent tab

Hi all.
I use APEX 4.0 and theme 17 Sapphire.
I have two pages: A , B.
When I run page A,I want to show it like this:
||Parent Tab1||Parent Tab2||
||tab1||
When I run page B,I want to show it like this:
||Parent Tab1||Parent Tab2||
||tab2||
tab1 belongs to Parent Tab1, tab2 belongs to Parent Tab2. Show the parent tab all the time.
But now When I run page B. the parent tab disappears. Why?
I check the two pages in Tree View. I find differences in the Shared Componts -> Parent Tabs area. Page A's Tab Set is main and has two parent tabs. But B's Tab Set is the one I created and just has one parent tab. So how to change it?
Steps are the best.
Thank you all.
The second question is how to beatify parent tabs?

How to use auto incremented tabe to create a CMP Entity Bean

hi,
I want create a CMP entitybean with an auto incremented table in
Oracel. So I need to know
- how to create a table with an auto-incremented field in oracel and
- how to change the create() method according to that.
I am using Sun studio enterprise for EJB developing.

How to use the Hide Tab Bar Command in Yosemite?

I guess I need a lesson in some basic Safari functionality. In Safari 8, when only one page is open (one tab, therefore), the Hide Tab Bar command in the View menu is functional. But, when a second tab is opened, the command is grayed out and the tab bar (at least in my configuration) is on screen with both tabs.
What is the point, therefore, of the Hide Tab Bar command if it is only functional when one tab is open? Or, do I need to configure my Safari differently so it can be functional with many tabs open?
Thanks for the guidance.

I tried this solution (using CP 5.5) but only to limited success. The TOC search seems to be able to pick up on some of the script but not all. I think it might be chronological, as in it will search within the first part of the script but not in latter parts, but I can't be sure. Are there any limitations to this solution, such as script (within the text box) length? Also, this may or may not be related, but the TOC rearranged and renamed all of my slides. For example, I have no duplicate slide labels and they are in order within the project, but my TOC looks like this:
Slide 2
Slide 2
Slide 3
Slide 4
Slide 4
Slide 21
Slide 40
Slide 70
Slide 16
etc...
As the project plays, the TOC status checkmarks jump around the list, appearing next to the corresponding slide (although in most cases mislabeled). Any guidance correcting these issues would be most helpful. Please let me know if you need any more information.

Hi ,
managed to do something like this :
select lotid ,
sum(decode(a.type , 'cp1' , cnt)) type1Cnt ,
sum(decode(a.type , 'cp1' , yield)) type1Yield ,
sum(decode(a.type , 'cp2' , cnt)) type2Cnt ,
sum(decode(a.type , 'cp2' , yield)) type2Yield
from testing a
group by lotid
results :
LOTID     TYPE1CNT TYPE1YIELD TYPE2CNT TYPE2YIELD

New Advanced tab for Calibration-how to use properly?

Dear Adobe and Lens profilers,
I have just used the newest Lens Profile version and noticed the new "Advanced" tab on the right beside "Calibration". There are lots of choices for rectilinear, fisheye, distortion, etc. I need information on how to use the advanced tab - I do not see updates to the user guides that are available that address this new tab. For example, there are "one parameter radial distortion" up to five parameters for various items, there is a sensor pixel shape choice - could someone from Adobe please address and explain these choices and how to properly set them for use,(including the vignette model and principal point choices, and all of these).
Thank you,
Debra

Hi Debra, in general, the higher the number of parameters, the better the potential for correction (especially for full frame cameras). For example, the three-parameter radial model in some cases will do a better job than the two-parameter radial model. I have not found cases yet where the 5 parameter (radial & tangential) model is helpful. As you can see, the default option is Auto which means Lens Profile Creator does an internal comparison of which model works best for your provided measurement data, and picks the appropriate model automatically. (This is largely why it is not necessary to fiddle with the Advanced settings.)
When you find cases where Lens Profile Creator is not building a satisfactory profile, my experience has been that the common issues cannot actually be addressed by using the Advanced settings. For example, if the profile is slightly overcorrecting for vignetting, changing the Vignette model parameters in the Advanced section often does not help. (This does not mean that future versions of ALPC won't provide other ways to deal with it. It just means that for now ALPC does not provide a direct means by which to tweak a profile that is slightly off.) If you are using Camera Raw or Lightroom, my suggestion is to use the "Correction Amount" sliders beneath the profile selection to adjust the correction. In the vignette overcorrection case, instead of using the default value of 100, dial it back to 80 or 60 (as an example)

Use of Personalization Tab in PFCG

Hello All,
My query is regarding how to use the Personalization tab in PFCG. How to build the personalization object et all and link to a role?
The requirement is to build a list of accessable objects (thru a function module, say list of positions accessable) and link it as a personalisation object to the role.

Step by step on how to use Reconstruct?

Could anyone give the details (step by step) on how to use the Reconstruct tab in manage of an ODS? For example if there is one error record in PSA which make one data request red in manage of an ODS, then what is the procedure to correct the error and reload the data in Reconstruct?
Thanks!

hi Vishwa/Edwin,
Actually you two are using different methods to reload data from PSA to target.
Let's summarize:
Step 1: delete the red request from Manage of the ODS;
Step 2: edit PSA to fix the error record, save.
Then the difference between you two starts from here:
Step 3 (Vishwa): use Reconstruct to reload data from PSA to target
Step 3:(Edwin): just right click the fixed PSA and reload data from the right click contax menu.
We think both of you are correct and we knew these steps already, just want to make sure these two alternatives are both efficient and correct.
hi Vishwa,
We have been using Step 3 by Edwin, could you give us a step by step on how to use the Reconstruct to reload the data from PSA to the ODS?
Thanks alot!

How to use the "Clear PDA Chart .vi" in LabVIEW 7.1 PDA module?

In my iPAQ application, I try to use the LabVIEW 7.1 PDA module's "Clear PDA Chart .vi" to clear the graph. But I do not know how to do it. I always get error when I call it.
My code is attached. The code is to draw a sin wave and then clear it.

Hi,
I verified the behavior that you reported. I got error code 260055065 on running the VI. It does not matter if you wire a control ref or tabbing order number to the Clear PDA Chart.vi.
This is a known bug and LabVIEW PDA developers are already working on it. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release of the PDA module. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Does anyone know how to display (in LabVIEW) the memory use during execution of an image and data acquisition VI to predict when it is time to cease the acquisition to prevent the program crashing?

Does anyone know how to display (in LabVIEW) the memory use during execution of an image and data acquisition VI to predict when it is time to cease the acquisition to prevent the program crashing?
I am acquiring images and data to a buffer on the edge of the while loop, and am finding that the crashing of the program is unpredictable, but almost always due to a memory saturation when the buffers gets too big.
I have attached the VI.
Thanks for the help

How to set tabstops in MS Word using the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit

Using the Report Generation Toolkit of LabVIEW, I need to set multiple tabstops that very in distance in MS Word. I also have different sets of tabstops that I use and re-use at different times in the same report. Is there a way to set the tabstops under program control? I searched through the various VIs and found that there is a property ("Tabstops", "Word.Tabstops") in the _ParagraphFormat property node that refers to tabstops. I found it in the Word Format Paragraph (adv) VI. Unfortunately, I could not determine how to use it. Any suggestions? Is this an operational element?

Bluebell,
Sounds like you've already done some fantastic work to expose the various properties and methods of MS Word. It took me about 20 min before I could find the specific property that you were talking about! I found it under Word.Document>>Paragraphs>>Tabstops>>Add. There is a position, alignment and leader parameter that you can set from this property node. I've found that the best way to discover what these parameters do is to simply experiment. You could also try using the macro recorder in Word, perform the specific task, and then look at the code generated. I'm guessing that position sets the position of the tabstop itself. It sounds like your application is really specific. For such a specific task, I think I'd write a macro and call that macro from LabVIEW.

How to use the validation work in Both TAB and Mouse keys in Forms6i

Hi,
I have a validation script once it's validated it should execute the query.But using When-Validate-Item i can't use execute_query.I am able to use the validation in Key-Next-Item trigger but if the user moves the cursor using mouse then it's not working.
How to use the validation script working in Both Scenarios(Tab and Mouse keys).
Can anyone please give inputs to rectify the above issue?.

So you have multiple fields, but on at least one of them if it's valid you immediately want to execute the query?
You could create a hidden field in a control block Query_Now default 'N'. In a WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM on your item, if it's determined to be valid, then set Query_Now to 'Y'.
In a WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE at block level, check if Query_Now is 'Y'. If it is then execute the query (and set it back to 'N').

How to use dll in Labview ?

I compile this code to dll file with VC++2010 filename is test_dll.dll .
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>
using namespace std;
int main(int a){
cout << "Test dll...............\n";
return a;
After that, I put Call Library Function node in editor and double click Call Library Function node. I browse test_dll.dll into Library name or path and set function prototype to int32_t main(int32_t a); but it show error Call Library Function Node 'test_dll.dll:main':function not found in libraly. How to use dll in Labview ? And I have more question is what is differrent from Tools -> Import -> Shared Library(.dll) and use Call Library Function node.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The issue you are having is that LabVIEW is not capable of using C++ DLLs directly. It only handles C DLLs. This does not mean that if you you cannot use the DLL if it's compiled with the C++ compiler as opposed to the C compiler. Rather, it means that you must take extra steps in order to use it from LabVIEW. The primary issue is that of name mangling or adornment. This is discussed here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4877. Basically you need to prepend extern "C" in front of your prototypes in your header files. I would also suggest reviewing this article: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-14564.
