How to use VISA to control a RS-485 interface.

Hi All,
I am devloping an app that needs to talk to a custom made device using full-duplex rs-485. There are two types of operations I have to accomplish.
1) Down load micro-code and stuff like that when ever a user pushes a button.
2) Deterministically transmit a small command packet that sets some control parameters.
I will never have to do both operations at the same time.
I would like to do task 1) in a windows environment.
I have to do task 2) using LV-Real Time.
The windows machine will be in full control of the RT system, so I will be able to dictate that the two operations never happen at the same time.
So...
A) Is this hardware config "legal"?
B) Is ther any thing special I have to do
(like got into tri-state mode)?
C) Does any one have examples or hints that would help me get through this project with a minimum of blood loss?
Thanks for reading this,
Ben

How to use tcom to control vi

how we use tcom to control vi program? we have got this tcl script from googling but it is not running , it says to run the vi as activex server ,how can we do it? it is opening the vi but gives the error "high frequency not found in vi connector pane.what are the different methods that we can use with vi ? in the example some methods such as getvireference etc have been used
# Interfacing to LabView via TCOM
package require tcom
# Start the "Frequency Response" VI as an ActiveX server. (If the VI
#was
# compiled then you would refer to it by its registered server name.
#For
# example, if you compiled 'A.vi' and created 'A.exe', then you would
#load
# it with 'set lv [::tcom::ref createobject "A.Application"]'.)
set lv [::tcom::ref createobject "LabView.Application"]
# Create a reference to the VI. (You may want to use
# '[$lv ApplicationDirectory]' to get the correct path for this PC.
# For a compiled VI, use just the VI's name, for example:
# 'set viPath "A.vi"'.)
set viPath "C:\\Program Files\\National Instruments\\LabVIEW 8.2\\examples\\apps\\freqresp.llb\\Frequency Response.vi"

#names;
# the second array is a list of their values. We must pass in a value
#for
# every terminal on the VI's connector (unless we are very sure that
#the VI
# has a valid initial value for that terminal). We must also pass in

# it stops until you call it again. However, many VIs run
#continuously
# once you start them, and many are set to start running as soon as

# You may need to manipulate the VI's menus. Unfortunately LabView
#does
# not expose any method for doing this, so you must use the Windows

Hi,
I'm not too familiar with tcom interfacing with LabVIEW, but you may want to check out other DFs, such as this one here. Would it be possible to printscreen the LabVIEW error you are talking about- "high freq not found...". Furthermore, you may want to confirm the functionality of the script with the person who made it.
I hope this helps,

[Forum FAQ] How to use parameter to control the Expand/Collapse drill-down options in SSRS report?

In SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), drill-down is an action we can apply to any report item to hide and show other report items. They all are ways that we can organize and display data to help our users understand our report better. In this article,
we are talking about how to use parameter to control the Expand/Collapse drill-down options in SSRS report.
Consider that the report has a dataset (dsSales) with following fields: SalesTerritoryGroup, SalesTerritoryCountry, CalendarYear, SalesAmount.
1. The report has the following group settings:
Parent Group: SalesTerritoryGroup
Child Group: SalesTerritoryCountry
  Child Group: CalendarYear
   Details: SalesAmount
2. Add three parameters in the report:
GroupExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes           Value: Yes
Label: No            Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: Yes
CountryExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes           Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No",Nothing,"Yes")
Label: No            Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No","No","Yes")
YearExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No" or Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="No",Nothing,"Yes")
Label: No            Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No" or Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="No","No","Yes")
3. Right click SalesTerritoryCountry icon in the Row Groups dialog box, select Group Properties.
4. Click Visibility in the left pane. Select “Show or hide based on an expression” and type with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
Select “Display can be toggled by this report item” option, and select “SalesTerritoryGroup” in the drop down list.
5. Use the same method setting CalendarYear, (Details) drill-down with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
=IIF(Parameters!YearExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
6. Click SalesTerritoryGroup text box in the tablix. Select InitialToggleState property in the Properties dialog box, and type following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
7. Use the same method setting SalesTerritoryCountry, CalendarYear text box with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
=IIF(Parameters!YearExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
After that, when we preview the report, we can use these three parameters to expand/collapse drill-down.
Note:
In our test, we may meet following issue. We can check the expression of InitialToggleState property to troubleshooting the issue.

How to use the custom control ?

Hi Friends,
plz help to use of custom control in screen painter ?
and how to use the custom control ?
Thanking you.
Regards,
Subash.

HI,
Screen Elements
A screen can contain a wide variety of elements, either for displaying field contents, or for allowing the user to interact with the program (for example, filling out input fields or choosing pushbutton functions). You use the Screen Painter to arrange elements on the screen.
You can use the following elements:
·        Text fields
Display elements, which cannot be changed either by the user or by the ABAP program.
·        Input/output fields and templates
Used to display data from the ABAP program or for entering data on the screen. Linked to screen fields.
·        Dropdown list boxes
Special input/output fields that allow users to choose one entry from a fixed list of possible entries.
·        Checkbox elements
Special input/output fields that the user can either select (value X) or deselect (value SPACE). Checkbox elements can be linked with function codes.
·        Radio button elements
Special input/output fields that are combined into groups. Within a radio button group, only a single button can be selected at any one time. When the user selects one button, all of the others are automatically deselected. Radio button elements can be linked with function codes.
·        Pushbuttons
Elements on the screen that trigger the PAI event of the screen flow logic when chosen by the user. There is a function code attached to each pushbutton, which is passed to the ABAP program when it is chosen.
·        Frame
Pure display elements that group together elements on the screen, such as radio button groups.
·        Subscreens
Area on the screen in which you can place another screen.
·        Table controls
Tabular input/output fields.
·        Tabstrip controls
Areas on the screen in which you can switch between various pages.
·        Custom Controls
Areas on the screen in which you can display controls. Controls are software components of the presentation server.
·        Status icons
Display elements, indicating the status of the application program.
·        OK field
Every screen has a twenty-character OK_CODE field (also known as the function code field) that is not displayed directly on the screen. User actions that trigger the PAI event also place the corresponding function code into this field, from where it is passed to the ABAP program. You can also use the command field in the standard toolbar to enter the OK field. To be able to use the OK field, you need to assign a name to it.
All screen elements have a set of attributes, some of which are set automatically, others of which have to be specified in the Screen Painter. They determine things such as the layout of the screen elements on the screen. You can set the attributes of screen elements in the Screen Painter - either for a single element, or using the element list, which lists all of the elements belonging to the current screen. Some of the attributes that you set statically in the Screen Painter can be overwritten dynamically in the ABAP program.

How to use Source Code Control for Large Application?

Hi, All!
I would like to collect knowledge about "best practice" examples for using Source Code Control and project organization for relative large application (let's say approx 1000 SubVIs).
Tools used:
LabVIEW 8.0
CVS Server
PushOK CVS Proxy Client
WinCVS
With LabVIEW 8 we can organize large project pretty well. This described in article Managing Large Applications with the LabVIEW Project.
I have read this article too: Using Source Control Software with LabVIEW In this Article Source Safe used, but with PushOK all looks nearby the same and works (some tricks for compare function are required).
Example. Two developers working together on same project. Internally project is modular, so one developer will work with module "Analysis", and another one with "Configuration" without interferences. These modules placed into Subfolders as shown in example above.
Scenario 1:
Developer A started with modification of module "Analysis". Some files checked out. He would like to add some SubVIs here. So, he must also perform check out for the project file (*.lvproj), otherwise he cannot add anything into project structure.
Developer B at the same time would like to add some new functions into module "Configuration". He also needed to check out project file, but this file already checked out by Developer A (and locked). So, he must wait until lvproj file will be checked in. Another way is mark *.lvproj files as text files in PushOK, but then one of developers will get conflict message by checking in and then merging will be necessary. This situation will coming very often, because in most cases *.lvproj file will be checked out all the time.
Question: Which practice is better for such situation? Is Libraries better than folder for large project?
Scenario 2:
Developer C joined to the team. First, he must get complete project code for starting (or may be at least code of one Library, which assigned to him).
Question: How it can be done within LabVIEW IDE? Or WinCVS (or other SCC UI) should be used for initial checkout?
Scenario 3:
Developer D is responcible for Build. Developers A,B,C have added lot of files into modules "Analysis", Configuration" and "FileIO". For building he need to get complete code. If our project splitted into folders, he should get latest *.lvproj first, then newly added SubVIs will appear in Project Explorer, then he should expand tree, select all SubVIs and get latest versions for all. If Project organized in Libraries, he must do the same for each library, isn't?.
Question: Is this "normal way", or WinCVS should be used for this way? In WinCVS its possible with two mouseclicks, but I prefer to get all code from CVS within LabVIEW IDE recursively...
That was a long post... So, if you already working with LabVIEW 8 with SCC used for large project, please post your knowledge here about project structure (Folders or Libraries) and best practices, its may be helpful and useful for all of us. Any examples/use cases/links etc are appreciated.
Thank you,
Andrey

Regarding your scenarios:
1. Using your example, let's say both developers checked out version 3
of the project file. Assuming that there are only files under the
directories in the example project, when Developer A checks in his
version of the project, there will be new files in one section of the
project separate from where Developer B is working. Developer B,
notices that there is now a version 4 of the project. He needs to
resolve the changes so will need to merge his changes to the latest
version of project file. Since the project file is a text file, that is
easy to do. Where an issue arrises is that after Developer B checks in
his merged changes, there is a revision 5. When Developer A and B go to
make another change, they get the latest version which will have the
merged changes to the project file but not the referenced files from
both Developer A and B. So when A opens version 5, he sees that he is
missing the files that B checked in and visa versa. Here is where the
developers will needs to manually use the source control client and,
external to LabVIEW, get those new files.
Where libraries help with the above scenario is that the library is a
separate file from the project so changes made to it outside of the
project do not require the project to be modified. So this time, the
developers are using a single project again which time time references
two libraries. The developers check out the libraries, make changes to
the libraries, and then check those changes in. So when each developer
opens the project file, since it references the project file, the
changes to the library will be reflected. There is still the issue of
the new files not automatically coming down when the latest version of
the library is obtained. Again, the developers will needs to manually
use the source control client and, external to LabVIEW, get those new
files. In general, you should take advantage of the the modularity that
libraries provide.
2. As noted in the above scenario, there is no intrinsic mechanism to
get all files referenced by a LabVIEW project. Files that are missing
will be noted. The developer will then have to use the source control
provider's IDE to get the initial contents of the project (or library).
3. See above scenarios.

How to use active X controls to read/write protect an excel or word document created by created by Save Report to File VI

Hi all,
I'm trying to creat a word and excel documents using Save Report to File VI. When wiring a password to this last VI, the document created are only protected against writing but not reading. How can I use active X controls to password protect these documents against reading?
Thanks a bunch!
O

There is no predefined functionality available in LabVIEW. So you have to implement this on your own.
It seems to me that you own the Office Report Generation Toolkit. You can use the Excel Get ActiveX References.vi from the Excel Specific >> Advanced palette to get access to the "generic" ActiveX Excel references. Starting from this point, you can use property and invoke nodes to get to the setting you are going to modify.
Please refer to this link for information on Excel password protection. I have not searched for the object giving you access to those settings though....
hope this helps,

Using VISA Resource control with Windows 7 64-bit

Hi.
My company recently upgraded our laptops, and I'm now working on Windows 7 64-bit rather than Windows XP 32-bit. I reinstalled LabVIEW 2009 Base Package, trusting that the Windows 7 64-bit OS would be able to handle LabVIEW 2009 32-bit without problems. But when trying to run our test system, the VISA Resource control doesn't work.
We use it to get a list of the available COM (RS232) ports on the computer. But now the list comes up blank. The only option that comes up in the list, is the text "Refresh". But nothing happens when I press it. Is this a bug in LabVIEW? I've installed the latest patch I found, so now I'm running LabVIEW v9.0f3 (32-bit).
Thanks alot for any and all assistance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry for not replying to you earlier. I've been busy on other projects.
I'm not sure what you refer to with MAX, but I'm able to access the com ports using other tools/loggers. So it's not an issue with Windows 7 itself. But it seems logical that the problem would have something to do with running 32-bit drivers on a 64-bit OS. Referring to this list from NI (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/71E9408E6DEAD76C8625760B006B6F98), I'm downloading the 64-bit installer now.
But if I understand it correctly, you cannot run applications from a 64-bit Application Builder on a 32-bit OS. So basically you need the Application Builder installed on both a 32-bit and 64-bit OS to have all bases covered. But in the FAQ, it's asked if it's possible to have both 32-bit and 64-bit LabVIEW 2009 installed on the same 64-bit OS. Why would this be wanted? If you cannot use the 32-bit Application Builder, and you cannot trust that the 32-bit LabVIEW runs successfully (i.e. driver issues etc.), why would you want to have a 32-bit installation on a 64-bit OS?

How to use OEM grid control to find any database not in archivelog mode?

Hello,
currently we have 130 databases, say, if I want to pick out any database currently NOT in archivelog mode, is there a quick way to find out ?
by using OEM grid control
or
some trick similar,
but really don't need to check each database manually.
thank you very much!

This query works in 12c - please run as SYSMAN.
It is based on undocumented assumptions though +( AND key_value = 'NOARCHIVELOG')+.
SELECT *
FROM SYSMAN.MGMT$GROUP_DERIVED_MEMBERSHIPS O ,
    SYSMAN.MGMT$TARGET T ,
    sysman.MGMT$AVAILABILITY_CURRENT st
WHERE
o.member_target_type     IN ('oracle_database', 'rac_database')
AND ( t.target_type           ='rac_database'
OR (t.target_type             ='oracle_database'
AND t.type_qualifier3        != 'RACINST'))
AND o. member_target_guid     = t.target_guid
AND t.target_guid             = st.target_guid
AND st.availability_status    = 'Target Up'
AND ( EXISTS
    (SELECT *
    FROM sysman.mgmt$metric_current i
    WHERE I.TARGET_GUID = O.MEMBER_TARGET_GUID
    AND metric_name     = 'archFull'
    AND Metric_Column   = 'archTotal'
    AND metric_label    = 'Archive Area'
    AND column_label    = 'Total Archive Area (KB)'
    AND key_value       = 'NOARCHIVELOG'
    ));Another way to achieve the goal is to push extended metrics (SELECT LOG_MODE FROM V$DATABASE) on each DB, and monitor the values they return to the repository. This is an example for a (slightly) different problem - http://iiotzov.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/how-to-use-the-new-oem-12c-metric-extensions-to-enforce-enterprise-wide-custom-policies .
OEM Repository has many other great uses as well - http://iiotzov.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/oem-repository-a-second-look.doc , http://iiotzov.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/iotzov_oem_repository.pdf

I don't understand how to use the volume control on the new iphone headphones

I just bought the new style earphones for my iphone and it has a new volume control -- how does it work? On the old one you just pushed up or down for volume control but now it just increases volume for the time you hold it down? Does anyone know how to use this properly?

I have had good success with the System Font Panel. Now all of a sudden, I only get part of it. Any suggestions on how to restore the entire panel? There are no change size options in the corners like in some dialog boxes. I was going to paste what I have here, but for some reason, paste is not available.

How to use LabView to control Primera Bravo II CD burner?

I am trying to use LabView to control the Primera Bravo II CD burner and label printer. The software that controls the Bravo II is PTPublisher. How to use LabView to communicate/control the PTPublisher? Please help, Thanks

Hi Qian,
I installed PTPublisher on a virtual machine, and I was wondering what kind of tasks you wanted to control within LabVIEW. From the program GUI, it appears like the only way to access functions is via mouse clicks. Do you know of any other way to control the Bravo II CD burner besides the PTPublisher software? If not, does the PTPublisher allow you to control it in some way other than clicking?

How to use multiple data controls in a single JSF page

Hi,
I am using Essbase Data Control to in my project to get Essbase Cube data into ADF table/Pivot Table.
Suppose if [Item] dimension has this hierarchy [category] -> [Segment] -> [Brand] -> - [Item]
I need to display Category in one column and Segment in the next Column and [Brand] in the another column.
Different types of Category, Segment and Brands should display as table data(data values).
Using MDX query I can not print [Item] hierarchy in different columns..so I am planning to use multiple data controls.
Could any body help me to get the solution.

Hi,
sounds like you want to try the Pivot table

I found out that I only can use the remote control in Media Center of the software.
Now I want to use it in the Creative Audio Player whicht was also in the Box.
Is there a way?

Yes there is. I suggest trolling these boards for the 3rd party remote solutions that will free you to use the remote in ANY application like Winamp, Notepad, Windows Media Player, etc.
Just my two opinionated cents...

How to use itunes volume control in mainstage

Hi everyone!
I want use itunes volume control in mainstage (by slider or something). Can someone help me?

You would need to write an Applescript (there are some already under Parameter Mapping>Actions>Applescript). Check online at "dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/eqandvolume.php" for some scripts for changing iTunes volume. You will need to put the Applescript in the same folder the other Mainstage Applescripts are in (drive>Library>Application Support>Logic>Mainstage Scripts). I haven't tried this myself, but why not give it a go?
