Is it better to make multiple arrays of data or one big array and access it many times?.

I am going to acquire up to 5 samples per second of 50 channels over 30 minutes then average ten of the channels and generate a report. There are other bits of information needed to complete my task and graphs. Would it be "faster" for the PC to have one large 4d array with all the information or faster to make several separate arrays? Would it be more reliable to have one or many(fewer code lockups)?
Also,
Yes, I do mean to be using labview. I expected this crowd to have a different perspective (and I could not find LV blog).
For each channel, I want to scale per 6 other variables per channel(nominal high, mid, low, and reading high, mid low) So there is the channels and time, then there is the calibration values, then there is the calibrated readings. If I put all that along with my test information in one large matrix, it would be simpler for me to remember where in the matrix each item is, but if it is in several matrixies then the "active" matrix is smaller while the other information is not used.
The sales rep for NI was indicating the computer power is much higher than I am used to. (I have not started programming yet, I am preparing for a huge project on a "new"(2 year old)PC.) I am trying to understand just how much power I am missing from my days of gwbasic, Q-basic and our current Visual Basic 6.0 running on XP. This matrix question is new to me.
Solved!

I don't see where you are getting 4 dimentions for your array. I only see 2: channel and sample.
From what you are describing, I would put any "support" information for a channel into a cluster. So you should have an array of clusters to contain your support data.

Yes, we are talking about FCP X...this is the thing:
I worked on a project a few days ago and went to share - export movie.
Today, i opened the FCP again, to make some changes, and when i enter to the project, it shows me as one big clip.....i dont see it says compound clip....and i tried anyways pressing break appart clips...but nothing....could it be that i made it compound before exporting it..? if so how can i recover the un-compound version >?

Booting from thunderbolt array and accessing projects

I'm attempting to speed up my FCPX flow on my iMac. The biggest problem is the slow harddrive installed in the iMac and because its difficult to replace, the easiest solution is to duplicate my Macintosh HD drive to an external thunderbolt RAID-0 array and boot to it. That way everything runs snappy.
The problem I'm finding (aside from a few apps complaining about the 'hardware' change thinking they are on a different computer), FCPX no longer sees all my projects. How do I get my projects back?
Original install:
FCPX located on 'Macintosh HD'
Projects and media located on 'ScaryRaid' external thunderbolt RAID0 array.
New install:
FCPX located on 'ScaryRaid' external thunderbolt RAID0 array along with projects and media.
-> so the only thing that 'moved' was the operating system and apps.

I was hoping the solution was as simple as this. Thank you!
However, if I want to be able to access my events in both ways, creating an alias in my Movies folder to the 'Final Cut *' folders in the main directory on the drive doesn't work. Creating soft links using ln -s doesn't appear to work either. Is there a way to create links that FCPX will recognize?
Thanks!

Can I make multiple set of Quiz in one project ?

My project is a computer multimedia lesson , It's contain 12
Units and there are 12 exams and 12 test ,
Can I make 12+12 Quiz and there individual result pages...
or another way i can manage It ,,, in off-line base.
thank you...

A simple approach would be to create a single 1-slide menu
project that has buttons/click boxes that link to your other
projects using the "open in new window" option.
You can also create multi-unit "modules" by linking together
multiple projects using the "Open other project" option in the
Project preferences. This allows you to string together any
combination of files, such as:
lesson -> quiz -> another lesson -> another quiz
-> test
If you open the materials in a new window from the "menu",
you don't have to worry about linking back. The menu is always open
underneath whatever content the user is looking at. If you go into
the Project properties of the last lesson in a "module", you can
set the "Project end" option to "Close project" and the user will
effectively be shown the menu when the project closes.

How do I add multiple Game Center accounts with one Apple ID and one device(I phone 4s)

I Need help adding more then one Game Center account to my iphone and I don't want to make a new Apple ID please help and thanks to all who answer.

After 2 hours worth of searching with no answer, I decided to run a test and it worked. This is what I did to have multiple Game Center IDs on iOS7. (People responding may have over looked this detail because they assumed it was obvious, but it wasn't)
Answer: you MUST have multiple Apple ID accounts, however, you use the main one to log in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE.
1. I deleted the Alternate Email Address associated with my account
2. I created an entire new Apple ID with this email address
3. I login in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE with my original Apple ID (credit card on file)
4. I login to Game Center, iCloud, etc... with my kid's NEW Apple ID
So purchasing still goes under our shared account and game center, iCloud, etc... go under my kid's Apple ID.
^ ^ ^ ^ This is the simple straight forward answer I was looking for ^ ^ ^ ^

Multiple iCal icloud errors. One saying username and password incorrect the other Server 500 error when removing event

Good day all
One of my clients is having intermitting issues with her iCal on her Macbook. Her iCal is connected to her iCloud account along with her contacts, she access the iCloud data via her iPhone and her iPad.
The syncing between her devices with the iCloud gives her no issues when it comes to her contacts but her iCloud on her Macbook is causing a lot of grief. She can accept and add iCal events most of the time but every now and then she gets the error "iCal can't log into your iCloud account becasue your password may be incorrect. The server did not recognize your username or password for the account iCloud. Make sure you enter them correctly". Here is a picture of the error.
I can confirm her username and password is correct by clicking ok to the error and making an event in the calander or making a new contact in her contacts and confirm on icloud.com that the new additions did make it to the iCloud.
On top of the above error she also gets the following error intermittently (seems to happen the most when she attempts to remove a calander item). The error is "The server responded with an error. The request for "Meeting name" in "category" in account iCloud failed. The server responded with 500 to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation. Stay offline/Revert to Server/Go Online" once more below is a picture
Any help on this subject would be greatly appreshated
Thanks

How do you create multiple events (different dates) from one large event?

I recently downloaded a large number of photos from my iphone to iphoto. All of the photos are now under event 4/9/2011 (the date and times are correct, just all in one event). How do I change/break up photos and add/change event dates? I don't want to scroll up hundreds (half a year) of photos to see photos I took yesterday.

Obtain Array from an XML file with Multiple Arrays

Hi,
So I have been struggling with this program I am making for the last few months but I am almost there. I have a program that creates multiple arrays and place them one after another in an xml file and each array has its own unique name. Now I would like to create a VI that takes this XML file and when the user inputs the specific array name they are looking for it goes into the xml file finds the entire array under that name and displays it in an output indictor to be viewed on the VI. Attached is a sample of my xml file and the VI that creates this xml file.
Thanks,

Choosing one big ssd drive or better having a second hdd

I WANT TO REPLACE MY INTERNAL 320 gb hdd with a SSD, is better have a second drive (as my actual hdd) for data or one big ssd whee to put everything on is a best solution even for battery etc
what is the incovenient to have one only SSD.

alidav,
It's quite nice to have a 1TB SSD (mine is almost 1TB at 960GB) and I certainly recommend buying a SSD that fits your needs. However, I would recommend that if you do buy a 1TB SSD that you also invest in, at the least, a 2TB external drive for making Time Machine backups. I use both two Time Machine drives and five clones for my backup needs (a little paranoid, I know) but I have to recommend at least one, if not more, backup schemes.
Good luck,

How To Make an Array from Multiple Choices of a Drop-Down Menu?

How to save data in a 4D array and make partial plots in real time?

Hi, this is a little complex, so bear with me...
I have a test system that tests a number of parts at the same time. The
experiment I do consists of measuring a number of properties of the
parts at various temperatures and voltages. I want to save all the
measured data in a 4-dimensional array. The indices represent,
respectively, temperature, voltage, part, property.
The way the experiment is done, I first do a loop in temperature, then
in voltage, then switch the part. At this point, I measure all the
properties for that condition and part and want to add them as a 1D
array to the 4D array.
At the same time, I want to make a multiple plot (on an XY graph) of
one selected property and part (using two pull-down selectors near the
XY graph) vs. voltage. (The reason I need to use an XY graph and not a
waveform graph, which would be easier, is that I do not have
equidistant steps in voltage, although all the voltage values I step
through are the same for all cases). The multiple plots are the data
sets at different temperatures. I would like to draw connection lines
between the points as a guide to the eye.
I also want the plot to be updated in the innermost for loop in real
time as the data are measured. I have a VI working using nested loops
as described above and passing the 4D array through shift registers,
starting with an array of the right dimensions initialized by zeroes. I
know in advance how many times all the loops have to be executed, and I
use the ReplaceArraySubset function to add the measured properties each
time. I then use IndexArray with the part and property index terminals
wired to extract the 2D array containing the data I want to plot. After
some transformation to combine these data with an array of the voltage
values in the form required to pass to the XYGraph control, I get my
plot.
The problem is: During program execution, when only partial data is
available, all the zero elements in the array do not allow the graph to
autoscale properly, and the lines between the points make little sense
when they jump to zero.
Here is how I think the problem could be solved:
1. Start with an empty array and have the array grow gradually as the
elements are measured. I tried to implement this using Insert Into
Array. Unfortunately, this VI is not as flexible as the Replace Array
Subset, and does not allow me to add a 1D array to a 4D array. One
other option would be to use the Build Array, but I could not figure
out if this is usable in this case.
2. The second option would be to extract only the already measured data
points from the 4D array and pass them to the graph
3. Keep track of the min. and max. values (only when they are different
from zero) and manually reset the graph Y axis scale each time.
Option 3 is doable, but more work for me.....
Option 2: I first tried to use Array Subset, but this always returns an
array of the same dimensionality of the input array. It seems to be
very difficult, but maybe not impossible, to make this work by using
Index Array first followed by Array Subset. Option 3 seems easier.
Ideally, I would like option 1, but I cannot figure out how to achieve
this.
Your help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
