Initial feedback

Hi,
This is a great resource and I like how forms can be completed on mobile devices, including iPhone.
A few points:
The colour picker is quite dark and is not particularly easy to select appropriate colours. I think the circle instead of square swatches isn't helping. Especially in the central swatch area.
Also it would be nice to be able to input a RGB or HEX colour, to allow closer matching of brand/company colours.
In relation to the caption positioning relative to the field, at design time there is a gap:
However when rendered, the caption is right on top of the field and this looks too cramped:
Just a few things so far.
Thanks,
Niall

Niall,
You should check out our new color picker when you have a chance. The swatches are square now and you can do customer colors.

Initial Feedback on My Tour 9630 Experience - The hardware

I upgraded last month from the Curve. First I had to buy a new car charger and Micro USB cable, that was costly and should have been unnecessary.   Why change this out what seems to be wider standard?
The USB cord plugs into the lower right hand side of the Tour.   Most people are right handed.   This connection position makes the Tour hard to hold and use.

RIM, ahead of the requirement, began using the new "industry standard" of the microUSB rather thant the MiniUSB connection.
Recently, the European Union voted to require manufactures to install the MicroUSB port, on all new devices. Many companies signed on to that agreement, RIM did not, as they are already doing so with the introduction of the Storm a year ago, the 8900 and 8520, the 9630 and other recently released BlackBerry devices.

Fan, power consumption etc

Hello everyone. I am thinking about buying a 2012 MacBook Air to replace my 2011 one however I have one or two questions which I hope someone would be kind enough to answer for me...
If I was to do exactly the same tasks on the more powerful 2012 one as I do on my current 2011 MacBook Air, would it be cooler and with less fan noise and battery drain? What I mean is, I know the 2012 thing is more or less the same physically, just with some upgraded internals. So, would that mean that the more powerful components of the 2012 MacBook Air would not have to work as hard as the ones in my 2011 MacBook thus generating less heat and drinking less from the battery? I don't know a lot about computers, this was just my logic which is probably completely wrong...
Also, if I upgrade the processor to i7 and RAM to 8GB I am assuming it keeps the same fan and battery...do these more powerful innards have any detrimental effects compared to those of an "off the shelf" model?
In case anyone needed or wanted to know or if it helps you to answer more accurately, my current MacBook is the standard 2011 13" 256GB model. The one I'm planning on getting is the equivalent 2012 model but with upgraded processor and RAM.
Thanks a lot!

The hardware in the MacBook Air in terms of the fan and battery are identical in all the models of the same generation (Mid-2012), there's no change if you order more RAM or the faster CPU. That being said, I haven't seen a lot of technical documentation via Intel's site or CPU "fansites" that have really done thorough testing on the new CPUs.
Engadget's initial review (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/18/macbook-air-review/) saw a 1 hour and 2 minute increase in battery life, this coming from the same 50-watt hour battery. So take that for it's worth on decreased power draw or improved circuitry components.
Last year I ran a test between two 11" MacBook Airs, one with 2GB of RAM and the slower CPU, the other with 4GB of RAM and the upgraded CPU in conjunction with the CS department. Both machines ran just as hot, drew just as much as power and their fans were equally as noisy under identical sustained load.
I should have access to a 13" model with an i7 and 8GB of RAM next week and I'm happy to run any testing for you to help with your decision making process. Based on the initial feedback that I've gotten from my co-worker who has the 13" model with 8GB of RAM and the standard CPU he's noticed about 40 to 45 minutes of extra battery life and identical fan noise and heat when he's been working in Photoshop & InDesign.

Error in the result while adding

Hi
This is a simple program which repeatedly adds a number once you define the step size of the number. Shift register is also being used. suppose if the no. is 9 and the step size is 1 then the result should be 10, but it is not so. what is wrong with the program?

It really depends on what you're doing. For a loop that is intended to run for a long time you do not want to have the loop steal all of the CPU processing time. Otherwise the user interface and the OS will become unresponsive. There are times, however, when you would not need to put in a delay, such as using a while loop to create a Functional Global Variable, a.k.a. Action Engine. Or, if the loop is intended to only run for a few iterations (and there's a guarantee that it will break out and not become an infinite loop).
These use cases have now better workarounds in newer LabVIEW versions.
Use an event structure for the UI loop. Only spin the loop if things change. Never do the same operations on the same inputs more than once unless you expect a different result every time.
FGVs no longer need loops at all, we can use globally initialized feedback nodes.
To guarantee that we don't create an infinite while loop, we use a FOR loop with the conditional terminal and wire a reasonable upper iteration limit to N.

XY graph fails even in random generated data

Hi,
I have attached the Temp_test.vi and the image of the output on the screen. The vi simulates a temperature reading over long time. The plot shows the data normally, but after a while some earlier genrated points, not the current data drops to zero. Please try it out and see if there are any answers. Running Windows 7 64-bit and Labview 2010 SP1 (LabVIEW 2911sp).
Thanks for your help.

I agree this seems like a real bug (now reported here).
You can open the front panel of the express VI and inspect the code. Code looks fine. Maybe there is a problem with the constant dynamic to waveform conversion/coercion?
There are a couple of things I would have programmed differently* (inside the inner subVI of the build xy graph express VI provided by NI), but even changing these points does not make the problem disappear.
*footnote (suggested code improvements for the xy graph express VI):
use a globally initialized feedback node initialized with the empty cluster array (eliminating the local variable and "first run?" primitive).
appending the new array to the old array instead of prepending. (I have no clue why they would add the new data to the beginning of the existing DBL array. Darren showed at his NI week presentation that prepending is more expensive than appending when building arrays).
Similar to the waveform chart, this function needs a configurable history size! (what, only 3 kudos over 2+ years!!!! )
Overall, using the xy graph express VI is a nightmare in terms of memory reallocations. Internally, it constantly converts between dynamic and waveform data, growing inner arrays inside complicated data structures. While I question the need to grow arrays forever in general (it will never end well!) or trying to display millions of points on a graph that is less than 1000 pixels wide (what is the point!), you can avoid the observed problem by getting rid of the express VI entirely and just use a simple shift register. (See attached). It is also significantly faster overall.
Curiously, replacing the timed loop with a plain while loop also seems to fix the original problem in the original VI. Can anyone verify this?

im looking for a new version on Nokia software update but he say:sorry no update are available!
BUT other person with n80i.e. with ONLY different product code can update to 5.xxxxx
WHY ????

Nokia just released firmware 5.0719.0.2 for N80 or N80ie but the initial feedback does not seems to talk about anything new as per this post subject.

Why no A2DP? take away snake and give me A2DP and browser.. sniff..

Raw Files show Broken Box Symbol in PSE 6

I was on here over a year ago and employed a work around for the broken box symbol that I get on some of my Raw files in PSE6. Lately the work around is not working. The question that I have is did Adobe fix the problem in PSE7 or PSE8 rather than some of the users helping each other out with the work arounds? I would purchase 7 or 8 just to be rid of this annoying bug.......Rob

Before you spend the money on the upgrade to 7 or 8, you might try the following:
1. Delete the thumbnail cache file "thumb.5.cache" as described here:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Recreate_Organizer_thum bnails
2. Try solution 2 of the tech note:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403728.html
If this works, then go back and try solution 3 one more time.
If you do decide to upgrade, I suggest waiting a couple of weeks if you can before deciding on 7 versus 8 -- the initial feedback on 8 isn't looking very good.

24 bit histogramming (memory issues)

Hi All,
          I'm attempting to create a 24 bit histogram of code for a 24 bit ADC. For later processing of this data I require all the bins to be stored, i.e. I have found that the Histogram VI in the functions pallette will not work for 24 bit data, I'm on LV 2010 but on 32bit WinXP, (with ~4G of RAM)
    The histogram vi runs into memory issues with my data.
Even at a more basic level if I try init a blank array with 2^24 elements of U32 (and so 16M elements in the array) each index of the array represents an adc code and is incremented each time it is aquired. when I initialise and begin using such an array I get "out of Memory" errors. I would have thought that 16M elements was not a huge dataset and it would not be problematic to find 16M of contiguous memory with the application's 2G allocation by the OS.
    I was wondering if anyone had a suitable explaination of this or could suggest a way around this issue.
    Thanks,
     dsone1
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would change a couple of things:
Since the shift register is uninitialized, memory use will be low until the first time the VI is run in init mode, at which time the memory needs to be allocated at runtime. It is better to allocate at compile time as in my modification.
I would recommend a globally initialized feedback node, eliminating the while loop. It also ensures an initialized array if the user forgets to run init first. (implementing the same with a shift register would also need the "first run?" primitive).
I would move the init code before the histogram code, allowing to init and compute a new histogram concurrently.
Here is a rough draft

Performance Management ECC5 vs ECC6

I just saw a demo of the new ECC6 Performance Management. I believe I heard someone make the statement that we could use the new version of Performance Management on our ECC5 system. Does anyone know if that is possible? If yes, any idea how much time and effort it would take to implement the newer version of performance management?

Hi Raghu,
So i was wrong about it being portal development, glad I finally figured out how to do it.
configuring the "quick criteria maintenance":
It can be done by config following this post: Define default value in POWL Quick Criteria Maintenance for all users
regarding assessment, it doesn't work for you, b/c you probably haven't done the configuration. go to talent management and talent development > talent assessment.
here you wil have to read all the IMG activities, the documentation is decent on how to implement. Basically with EP4, there are new types of assessment that a manager can do besides just performance, this includes assessing potential, risks, barriers, and development plans. all of these assessments processes tie into downstream talent management processes such as talent review meetings and succession planning. hope this helps.

Boolean in empty case structure

Hello Everybody,
I am a bit stuck with one of my case structures. I am trying to set "True" for Boolean constant in order to enable "write to file" of the data once the number in one of the dynamic data flows reaches threshold value 79. I want to make sure that all numbers will be written after that, and not only numbers >=79.
My idea was to put Boolean "True" in the true part of the case structure, and leave nothing in the false part of the case structure. That unfortunately did not work
Does anybody know if there is a way to set Boolean to "True" after I reach desired number and keep it at "True" afterwards for continuous recording?
I would really appreciate any help

MSS Dashboard for Performance Management - PMP vs Flexi-Form

Hello Experts,
I have the following problem in Performance Management.
We have decided to use PMP template for some employees (manager level) and Flexi-form for remaining employees (because we have pre-defined criteria in template that PMP UI is not showing).
I found that PMP dashboard in MSS is only showing PMP appraisals.
When manager opens Flex-form UI, it is showing all appraisals that the manager is responsible for (PMP & Flexi) and when the manager clicks on an employee's appraisal document link, it is always displaying the document in Flexi UI mode.
If a manager is having half of his employees using PMP and other half using Flexi-form, what is the best way for him to look at Dashboard (initial screen to open employee's appraisals), so that for PMP appraisals will open with PMP UI and Flexi appraisals will open with Flexi UI?
Thanks

Resetting data in a sub vi?

I've been working on a master program that will call sub-vis based on input from the user. My sub vi's are excecuted multiple times throughout the program and all of them use shift registers and/or feedback nodes. In the past hooking up a blank constant to the initilizer terminal has worked for me in order to clear data between excecutions but for some reason in this larger program its not working. I think Labveiw may be treating each call of the sub vi as part of the same excecution. Is there a way around this?
"There will be water if God wills it"

If the shift registers are initialized, the will reset the shift regsiter data with each call. If you use a globally initialized feedback node, it will only be initialzed on first run and not between calls. That might be your problem. (In both cases it will still initialize between executions).

Write to spreadsheet without prompting each time through a loop

So my goal is to take measurements every 5 minutes (or whatever the time delay is, currently 15 seconds until it is ready to use) for several days. My biggest issue is that it asks me after each run where to save to. Is there an easy fix so that once a location is chosen I would be able to walk away and just let it keep running for days and it would keep appending data into that file after each delay?
My other thought was data logging. The issue I get with trying to log the data is having it be usable. When I choose a blank excel file to log into I get "The data in the VI's log file is incompatible with the VI's front panel." Why is this incompatibile if I have it going ot a spreadsheet that can be saved as a .xls? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I attached my program that I have set up. I understand you dont have the Keithley device so you can't run it, but any help would still be greatly appreciated.

Connect the new path output back to the path input via a globally initialized feedback node.
What is considered the new path output? I tried attaching the right side of the feedback node to the data as well as the spreadsheet vi. Neither worked. I also tried keeping the left side blank as well as attaching it to the spreadsheet with the right side to the data. I am not familiar with the feedback node and the help section didn't do a ton for helping me. All of the various combinations I have tried connecting the data or write to spreadsheet have all resulted in prompting me for a file each time through the loop still. I attached the most basic thing I tried, but if you would like other combinations I have tried I can re wire and attach those as well.

Download SQL Developer for Linux -- does it point to the Win version?

Hi everyone,
is it possible that the software behind the Linux version is the windows version instead?
--> Oracle SQL Developer 1.0, patch 1 (1.0.0.15.27)
--> --> http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/htdocs/sqllic.html?http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper-1527-no-jre.zip
Best regards Georg

There are really just 3 different downloads - one for Windows that is bundled with the jre and tools.jar, another that is specific to Mac and the third is the unbundled release. The unbundled is for Windows users that already have a jdk 1.5 or for Linux users (who need to have or get a jdk 1.5). After initial feedback that it was difficult to decide which to select, we decided to list specific to your platform, even though that means a duplicate link behind the scenes.
