Looking for some help/advice on LabVIEW

Hello, I'm completely new to LabVIEW but have a project to do and was wondering if anyone could give me some help/advice/ideas.
I need to use LabVIEW to interface with a power meter (Agilent E4419B) via a GPIB cable. I have a GP10 card. I have the drivers from the NI website. Can anyone think of any other software/hardware I may require? Or any advice about the best way to go about this from experience?

Yeah sorry I am being very vague!
Basically I am wondering how you actually go about setting up LabVIEW to communicate with the meter - is all I need a GPIB card and cable? How do the drivers actually work? Do I need to use any different commands to interact with the meter or do the drivers serve this purpose?

Hello Albert3232,
It sounds like you cannot use either camera, nor the LED as a camera. I want to recommend a couple of things here.
First, close all the open and running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Pl/sql parameter portlet - need some help/advice - how to create

I want to create a pl/sql portlet that accepts a parameter and on submit passes the parameter to other portlets (sql reports) these are then automatically run to display the new data.
E.g.
parameter portlet = deptno
On submit
Sql reports then refreshed using the parameter
I am aware, and have tried the mycompnay demo, which works exactly as I want but the parameter portlet cannot be amended and is written in Java.
I need a pl/sql equivalent so I can tailor the code.
Any advice examples or guidance would be really appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.
SD

Hi,
You can use a form portlet to accept parameters and then call a report in the success procedure of the form. In this example it calls a report with the value in the flightno field.
declare
flightno number;
blk varchar2(10) := 'DEFAULT';
begin
flightno := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHT_NO');
call('SJDEMO30.report1.show?p_arg_names=flightno&p_arg_values='||
flightno);
end;
Thanks,
Sharmila

Need some help/advice please

Hi,
I am trying to fix a friends computer. She has a MS-6385 m/b but the keyboard does not work. When trying to boot to ME. you just hear clicks when pressing a key.
If I boot from a W98 disk, I get a beep on each keypress. The CPU seems fine as it will load the W98 boot disk OS.
I was going to try a PS2 to USB converter, but the manual implies that the USB keyboard is disabled by default and I cannot get into the the BIOS to change it.
So I am asking for any advice as to how and try to fix this, or should I just bin the m/b and try and get another socket 423 m/b with rambus slots.
TIA

Using my keyboard though a KVM switch, which works fine on my network, so its not the kbd. I reckon the ps2 connection has gone belly up, so I'm stuffed for a fix.
Looks like I will need to get another board, I have found a 6339 board, which I might use or get the Asus P4t board.

Powerbook G4 just Died. Need some help & advice!!

Hope there's someone out there that can help me. I was working on my titanium Powerbook G4 and it just shut itself down (no warning sounds etc at all) and won't re-start. There's no sound from it at all. Even the green power cable light has stopped working. But the little glowing white light at the front (on the lid release) is still glowing. I've tried removing the battery and re-starting but to no avail (although with the battery removed the lid release light still works!). It's just dead. No sound at all. Has anybody any ideas what caused this?
Is it a hard drive issue? - I've had hard drives fail before but the machine usually tries to boot up but this PBook is dead. Deceased.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi, Andy. If the sleep light on your Powerbook is in the display latch, the PB is Aluminum, not Titanium. There's another set of forums for the Aluminum models here.
Have you tried resetting the Power Manager?

I need some help/advice about a CS5 invalid Serial Number

I recently purchased a CS5 Master Collection on ebay. Excited to get playing with it, I started to load it right away. When the window popped up asking for the serial number I punched it in and it showed as invalid! I retyped it and again invalid! So I checked the disc and in the notetab text file the serial number there was different than the one I had typed in off of the instruction paper. I typed that number in and the CS5 loaded! HOWEVER, once the CS5 was finished installing and I started up any program the window popped again asking for the serial number! Also on the same window it says on the bottom to (click here) for trial version and the days count down!!!
The seller claims that I'm not installing it right and says when not installed correctly it acts like a trial version!
I have uninstalled and reinstalled it 4 times and I get the same results!
Can anyone offer any comments, suggestions?
I would greatly appreciate it!
Rich

1st gen imac,dual core no power? Some helpful advice requested please....

Please pardon my grammar, sentence syntax and perhaps spelling!
Yes I have read all the gloom and doom posts regarding logic boards etc, what are the chances it might be a power supply issue?
Cord in and out, pram reset, no power light, no response to keyboard, no connected accessories, nothing on screen, no response to attempted insertion of disks, so sound (start up or otherwise), no sound of disk trying to boot etc, etc. Tried alternative cord as well...rarely shut down except for moving unit, days away etc
Please could you helpful guys and girls throw some ideas about what my issue with this rather old (first intel imac early 2006, 2o" screen) but beloved piece of tech might be?
My Imac simply went to sleep one fine spring morning and never woke up. Thanks in advance!!

I am on the phone right now with a product specialist about my iMac G5 power supply issues. Kind of ***** because he has, in so many words, said that the Genius is the Alpha and Omega and can extend the 3 year coverage. For me that is great except that the Apple store is over an hour away. I don't understand why the dude on the phone can't pull the switch and make it happen as well.
Factor in:
Unplugging iMac G5 and all peripherals
Loading it in the car
Driving an hour
Carrying it into the Mall (apple store)
Waiting for my Genius appointment
More than likely getting it fixed for free (from the sounds of things)
Driving back after it is fixed
Doing everything listed in reverse.
Would it just be easier to pay the $108 for a new power supply, wait a few days, undo some screws, and BAM! it works again?
Update. Off the phone now. The product specialist flexed his muscles, back handed the Genius to gain authority, and basically stated that they WILL DEFINITELY repair either the power supply or the logic board or both if needed. I have already had them replace the logic board once. BUT, I still have to load it up and take it to the Apple Store. Boo.

Hi guys I'm really in need of some help. I have an IMac I3 for a while now I've been having a problem of my machine refusing it shut down , it goes to a blue screen with a spinning wheel but doesn't shut down. And now won't boot from install DvD

Please some one help me ...
A) my mac won't shut down with external HD connected (if it's been used)
B) there are disk permissions that can't be fixed SUID stuff ..
C) I have now verified the Mac HD and it tells me it's corrupt in bold red writing and to start up from install DVD
D) it won't boot from DVD so I cannot run the repair , initially the machine was spitting it out on start up , now it appears to be attempting to boot off DVD , well it sounds like it is .... BUT it's hanging with the Mac Logo and a wheel ... For um .... 30min now...
E) weirdly when OSX is booted off the hard drive , it won't recognise the Install DvD or the applications one... It just spits them out....
I had an old PPC 17" and it was a beaut .... Never had a single problem with it ...
I bought this one December 2010 and it's been nothing but issues for a computer in excess of £1000 I'm extremely disappointed ... And weirdly the shutting down issue started when it was a week out of warrantee ... I feel conned and am almost at the point of throwing it at a wall and buying a PC

Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
It says ;
Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
Continuing...
And stops ...
Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

In need of some help with awesome

So I got it installed, and I started editing everything, but what I can't seem to figure out, is how to add items to the root-esque "awesome-menu". I see the lines of code in rc.lua but from there I'm lost to say the least lol.

If somebody would be so kind as to post their menu setup, or at least give me a point in the right direction id be really thankful.

In need of some help please...

I have just had to reboot my VAIO Laptop (Windows 8) and of course it has removed everything in the process. I pay a monthly subscription for Photoshop CC and assumed that I would be able to just log into my Adobe account, download it again and re install but it keeps on failing towards the end of the installation.
These are the two error messages showing:
ERROR: Third party payload installer vcredist_x86.exe failed with exit code: -2147024546
ERROR: Failed to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x86)
Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to re install my Photoshop that I pay a subscription for?
Any help is appreciated

Download and install the correct versions of the MSVC 2012 runtimes directly from Microsoft after running the cleaner tool. Then try again.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Thank you in advance for any help!

Of those three, first one, it has the best processor/graphics options.

In need of some help :( p55 big bang fuzion will not post

For some reason my system will not post. i switch my system on and everything on the board lights up all the drives spin up, gpu spins up, but it will still not post iv checked the gpu and it dose work fine, iv checked the ram to find out that one of my ram sticks has gone. iv tired booting with the stick that works with no luck neither.
would really like some advice please
My Current System is : i7 875k [email protected] GHz,on OC Genie- - P55 Big Bang-Fuzion (MS-7582)- -BIOS v1.5 --CORSAIR CMT4GX3M2A2133C9 4GB 2133MHz, 9-10-9-27, 1.65V, with Intel XMP -- NSI R5850 Twin Frozr II-- Real Power M520, with two WD Caviar Black 500 GB SATA Hard Drives ( WD5001AALS) in Raid 0

like Xmad said get a good 600W PSU from a trusted manufacturer of a single +12V kind. split rails are only good when there very high ampage ones (over 30A per rail) and the single rail ones are a better pick all-round!
and like Xmad also pointed out id also recomend a Corsair or seatronic unit of 600W or more!
it doesn't matter how the power went out as any thing that pulls over the load a PSU can supply will fead back and cause damage to the PSU itself!
alot of PSU makers cannot be trusted much as they put lables on the psu that are no where neer the real units performance level as they use a bench version that have uprated VRM's and bigger heatsinks and high end refrigerated coolers to stop them overloading thats totally un-realistic!

Looking for some help / advice (kind of long)

I will try to keep a long story short, but basically I am having multiple problems trying to install Leopard.
I purchased the family pack knowing that I would install Leopard on two of my computers. The first is a PowerBook G4, and the other is a MacBook.
I was installing OSX on the MacBook and had to shut the computer down during the installation. After that I could not get the DVD out of the drive and the OS would not start. I got the DVD to eject with some encouragement with a paperclip, but I think I ruined the DVD. I erased the drive via target mode and basically have a fresh computer.
The other computer has a fresh HD and currently has 10.4 installed.
I did create a disk image of the 10.5 DVD prior to losing anything.
I am now stuck with two computers and cannot get Leopard on either one. I am now trying to figure out how to get Leopard onto either one. I cannot get either one to install via the DVD (it's slightly scratched up due to my impatience) but I can read the DVD and view its contents on the PowerBook.
I do not have a DL DVD to burn the disk image onto, but I do have a SL DVD but I am not sure if I can cut X Tools off of the Install DVD and still install the OS (assuming there is enough space).
I do have a USB HD and have tried to install through that but I cannot seem to get it to work. The USB drive has all of my information on it and I can't wipe it to install 10.5 onto it.
I am very, very limited to the resources I currently have (working on a project in India) but I am fairly knowledgeable with Mac's.
I can't quite figure out what to try next and I am more than open to suggestions. Sorry this is kind of long winded I just wanted to make sure I got all the details.
Thanks

Depending on your resources available and your need/hurry to install it, there are possible solutions.
First, try and see if the disk (and drive) still works - in which case, no problem - install from there (let it do the disk self test which might take an hour or so). If the disk works, but the drive doesn't, and if you have a firewire cable, use the other machine (PowerBook) in target disk mode and put the DVD in to it, power up the MacBook with Option key pressed, boot from the DVD and install - this would most likely work (one thing I don't know is the Intel/PPC difference in the firewire target for INSTALLS - I do remember reading about some problems installing that way, unconfirmed). If the disk doesn't work, then you'd have to revert to the DMG you created.
Copy the DMG to the USB drive - you MAY get lucky if your MacBook boot off the USB (some people have success with it, esp. if their USB drive has been partitioned with GUID). So that is a possible way to install (if you get a boot option while powering up with the Option key pressed). Again, you have the option of using the MacBook's drive as a temporary storage for your files on the USB drive to format it to GUID, then copying them back to the USB drive, if you want to try it out. This again assumes you have a firewire cable. This method will work if you have the Intel/PPC issues I mentioned in the previous paragraph.
Do a websearch for installing leopard from DMG files (include USB in the search if you want to go that route). There are several articles on it.
If all else fails, give Apple a call. In India, call 080 2574 4646, according to http://www.asia.apple.com/buy/ - they should be able to ship you a new DVD (or at least you can buy a firewire cable) overnight - I have been surprised how good the courier service is there. My recommendation is to get a replacement Leopard DVD, so you can have it for future use (and a firewire cable, if you don't have one). Good luck!
