Is anybody using ComponentWorks to control an MTS/MicroConsole 458 testing machine?

Would like to correspond with anyone using the old MTS machines to do testing of concrete and pavement. Specifically the Creep and Sygma-Y tests using Visual Basic and ComponentWorks (1.1 on my end). Would especially like to know if anyone has replaced the MicroConsole/MicroProfiler with custom hydraulics control(s).

The first thing I'd say is that a restart may not be necessary. I have in the past installed LabVIEW development environment and when asked I said I would restart later. Then I opened LabVIEW and started coding. I'm not sure what it thinks it needs to restart for but it may not be required.
The other thing I'd like to mention is that LabVIEW 7.1 and older can run EXEs without needing to install a run time engine. So it is possible to build a EXE in 7.1, then include some files and DLLs in the same directory as the EXE, and when it is ran it will use them. There's probably issues with talking to DAQ devices without MAX and I have no idea how you address this but it is another possibility.
Of course you already know the best answer and that is to reboot the system when most convenient.

Not really sur easy you would be having that problem. Mine works. You might try RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). Then try again and see if it makes a difference

Has anybody used Thermo Oriel's encorder Mike control system in Labview?

I am going to build a position (one axis) related data acquisition system. I want to use Thermo Oriel's encorder Mike control system as a motion hardware and its I/O option as a data input hardware? Has anybody used those hardwares in Labview?

A search on NI's website returned a post of someone who is also using Thermo Oriel products:

Anybody used OpenScript with Oracle 11. x forms yet

Does OATS 9.2 support 11g forms at all? We are still not able to use the tool since we moved to 11g forms and web services with it.
I was just wondering does anybody uses OATS to test such application at all?
How come its not supporting the in house forms application.

Hi,
Is this for Load Testing or Functional Testing?
When working with forms for functional testing I always enable the Java Console. Goto Control panel->Java->Advanced. Expand the Java Console entry and select Show Console.
Then replay your script which invokes the forms application and in the console window you should see entries like :
Loading Oracle ATS Forms Functional Testing Module[5.3] [Sun JRE_1.6.0_22]
cracked oracle.forms.engine.Main
cracked oracle.forms.engine.Runform
Regards
(My white paper discusses in detail @
[http://www.scl.com/software-quality/software-testing-news/testing-oracle-forms-with-openscript]
Look at the section discussing the Java Console.
Hope this helps

How can I use LabView to control Altera Scripting

Hi
I have kind of run into a stone wall. I am building a production test executive based on LabView. Part of this process includes loading an FPGA image on to a CFI flash that is in the JTAG chain. I am trying to make so that the production operators don't have to open a second application, select the right FPGA and Flash navigate to the file then load it, then go back to LabView and run the rest of the tests.
Altera has a command line interface that will let me load .cdf file. The problem is that nowhere in Altera’s documentation does it show me how to first load the “Parallel Flash Loader IP” into the FPGA. The flash loader acts as a temporary bridge between the JTAG input and the CFI Flash. I have looked on Altera’s Forums and have had an open ticket with Altera’s support engineers for more than a week.
I can’t be the first person to want to do this; I am hoping someone here has done it before. I would really rather not try to use the activeX controls to manipulate the windows based program.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (Note I am not trying to put LV code on the FPGA/Flash just use LV to control the process)
Thanks in advance
Below is the error message and the script I am using. It almost works just missing the flash loader IP

Hi Eric,
I got it figured out today, basically you have to load the Parallel Flash Loader first into FPGA ram. It is a special .sof file (pfl_epXXXX.sof) based on your FPGA. Code is actually pretty straight forward, using the Sys Exec VI. Use the windows based programmer to generate the .cdf file that identifies your FPGA, attached Flash and .pof file .
Syntax was odd going into Sys Exec. Note the extra "C" in in front of the "quartus_prm.exe" I have no idea why that was needed, but I was getting an error until I just happened to put it in there (Blind Luck :-))
I used a 2 element array going into a four loop
cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG -o P;pfl_epXXXX.sof
cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG S_FPGA.cdf
Defining the working director C:\altera\12.1sp1\qprogrammer\bin
And added match string with "Successfully performed operation" on the output in the loop to make sure everything loaded correctly then adding the array to give me a overall P/F
To anyone doing this same thing Altera's documentation is poor to say the least. It took most of a week to figure this out Not allowed to upload code, so anyone wanting details just post here and I will try to help. This was painful, with lots of lessons learned.
Thanks for the interest though
Best regards John

How can I Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder

I apparently moved or deleted my iCloud folder and keep getting this message Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder. How do I do this?

I have/had the same problem, just started this morning. I tried a system restore to a known good date. I still had the problem so I rolled restored the system to the latest.
Thinking that it might have something to do with priviliges, I reviewed my user account and noticed it was set to "Administrator". On a whim, I switched my user account from administrator to "standard user" and I'll be... the issue dissapeared. I have no idea why. But I thought I'd pass it along.

ARD, to the best of my knowledge, does not work via Back To My Mac. Certainly it's not an direct or obvious feature, though I can't say that there might not be a workaround I've not heard of.

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 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
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/apirefs.1111/e12418/tagdoc/dvt_pivotTable.html
I don't think that multiple Data Controls is the solution to the problem

Can teamcenter community be used for source control?

I have this new tool called teamcenter community and I'm trying to see how well it will work with source control for labview. I haven't learned how to use it fully yet, but when I try to open a vi get the error message:
The document could not be opened for editing. A windows SharePoint Services compatible application could not be found to edit the document.
I'm using 8.5. Is this a feature that was added to a more recent environment.
Is this feature a possiblity? So far I've been able to use it to manage file, but haven't had success with folders.

Steve:
Unfortunately, teamcenter isn't supported in LabVIEW (past or present). A full list of supported clients is located in this KB. While it may be possible to use other clients, there hasn't been any testing done with them, so they may very well not work with LabVIEW.

Using a Meter control in LV Touch Panel, and using shared variables that are custom controls.

I Just started using LV touch Panel module with an NI TPC-2106.
I have two differenct problems:
1) I was planning on using the "Meter" control quite a bit. I can set up the meter exactly how I like on the host PC, but on the touch Panel computer it seems to ignore my adjustments, mainly the start and end of the scale - i.e. I would like control to run from 0 to 360 with 0 straight up, using the entire circle. However, on the Touch panel computer it always puts 0 at about 7 o'clock and 360 at about 5 o'clock. I have also tried adding markers to no avail.
2) I am communicating with a compact fieldpoint controller. I can creat a shared variable that is a simple double with no problems. However, I have some shared variables that use a custom control for the variable type - bascially a cluster with a couble doubles, a time stamp, and an enumeration. It lets me drag the shared variable into my diagram, but it seems to ignore it when I run it.

Ipshita_C,
- I am using LV 8.6.1f1and LV Touch Panel 8.6.1.
- I have attached a simplified VI that shows how I want to use the meter. Notice that the placement of the endpoitns does not work correctly on the touch panel, and that it ignores the arbitrary markers that I placed.
- I also have included an XY graph control that displays on the TPC with margins around the graph area that I removed from the graph control.
- For the shared variable, it appears to be an issue related to the touch panel, not fieldpoint. I found another thread in this forum that mentioned that clusters containing Enumerations do not work in shared variables on the touch panel. I changed the enumeration to an integer and it now works fine.
In general, there seem to be a disappointing number of limitations in the touch panel implementation. My biggest concern is that I have not found any documentation from NI that lists these limitations. I seem to have to try things out and see what works and what does not work. Can you point me to a comprehensive list of touch panel modules limitations?

Anybody using 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2?

Hi,
We have poor performance problems with 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2.
It looks like the issue could be because of RAC Ccluster.
Anybody using 11g RAC Database with OIM 9.1.0.2?
If so, What is the JDBC Driver r u using? Also what App Server (Weblogic or OAS etc) ?
Appreciate your input.
Regards
Vijay Chinnasamy

We are using weblogic 10.3. And I am sorry to tell you that we are yet to move to production.
We are planning to have Database in RAC, so i just thought of taking inputs from you.
can you tell me under what operations you face the poor performance issue?
For us the max no. of users in production is around 6k. So I am wondering how this RAC availability will affect the performance.
Thanks for sharing your inputs.

Is it possible to use *only* voice control - no keyboard or mouse at all?

Short story, hope you can bear with me.
I have a client who was using Windows for years. He has some disability that means he really can't use a mouse or keyboard. He has been using Dragon Naturall Speaking for about 5-7 years *on Windows*. He also has a Wacom tablet, but uses it sparingly.
About 6 months ago, he was having problems and was fed up with the problems he was having on his Windows machine. He called me and said "That's it. I'm going to Mac." He bought an iMac the next day, about two weeks before Lion was released. He had also purchased Dragon Dictate for Mac.
I set it all up, installed it and he was ready to start training Dragon.
A few months later, he calls and says, "I need to install Windows on my Mac because the Dragon Dictate for Mac is useless. I've spoken to them and they admit that there are several things you just can't do. Like moving the mouse." I think he means things like dragging an item into another folder, or drawing a box around several items on the desktop in order to trash them or copy them or drag them into an email as an attachment, etc. I keep asking him to be more specific, but all I can really get is that It. Can't. Be. Done. On. A. Mac.
And that, of course, really makes my skin crawl. I mean, come on, it's a Mac. They have *great* features for Accessibility. Surely, this must be a solved problem.
But, I have looked. I looked at the additions in Lion. I looked at the literature for Dragon. I have tried to do it myself on my computer. So far, I'm stumped.
I understand that there might be a learning curve, such as learning to say *where* you want something to be dragged to, instead of actually dragging it there visually. "Move selected document to Documents" and so on. But, I'm still hard pressed to find a way to do *every*thing (or a 99+%) using only voice control.
Does *any*one have any ideas, suggestions, thoughts, solutions?
His solution? He bought a used Windows computer today. I've copied (again) all his data from his iMac back to the Windows PC and installed Dragon Naturally Speaking, etc.
Surely, this can't be the only solution. There *must* be a way to do this on the Mac. Right?
Thanks.

Hi again,
I checked the Bios of my neighbors A100, so he has no option for Wake-on-Keyboard, too. I think its not implemented in that bios.
If this helps you: try the latest bios for that machine, maybe the implemented that option in a newer version.

[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.
