Is there a generic way to reset any GPIB instrument?

I want to write a VI which will generically reset any instrument. I don't know if *RST is universal.
I notice that on a switch box I have it dosen't seem to have an effect, then again there is no "reset" button on that box and it's not clear what it should do in the event of reset.
But for other instruments is it safe to assume that *RST will do the job, or are there one or two more commands that along with *RST will take care of 99% of all instruments?

Every instrument compliant to 488.2 or SCPI accepts *RST.
But non-488.2 instruments have a device-dependent command
for resetting or may not have a command that performs this.

On a Windows 7 computer I installed Firefox 9.0.1 and in my edit menu I have NO Preferences at the bottom, so there is no way to adjust any settings

On a Windows 7 computer I installed Firefox 9.0.1 and in my edit menu I have NO Preferences at the bottom, so there is no way to adjust any settings The edit menu opens up and I have undo, redo, cut, copy, paste,delete,select all, find....but NO Preferences at the bottom. This is a new laptop and nothing like skype is installed. The Firefox install is new today 1/6/12

Hi bruce,
What are you actually looking for? On Windows 7 your options will be under ''Tools > Options''. If you have the ''Firefox'' menu, you can hit ''Alt'' to temporarily enable the menu bar.
Your System details say Linux. Your say you are on Windows 7 though, correct?

Is there a general way to find any type of file IN a JAR ?

Hi I've written an application that I want to distribute in an executable JAR format. The application runs find when I double click the Jar but ONLY when the config file is outside the Jar, however I want to distribute every thing in the Jar, because I want my program to be self contained.
I've read a lot of threads, read the Sun tutorial for JARs, but I haven't found a general way to find files within the Jar. Pehaps I should set the Class-Path in the manifest, but from what I've read in Sun Tutorial that seems that it only works for Classes.
So my question is:
Is there a general way to find any kind file ( *.txt, *.dat, *.for ) that is not a *.class, within the Jar ? Is that done on the manifest or when creating the Jar ?
The code for the app that actually works is:
            URL url = getClass().getResource( fileName );
            inputFile = new File( fileName );
            fr = new FileReader( inputFile );
            char[] dat = new char[ (int) inputFile.length() ];
            fr.read( dat );
            sDat = new String( dat );
            fr.close();
            // Parse config.txt
            System.out.print("Reading metaconfig parameters...\n");
            parseFile() ;where filename is "./config.txt".
I intend later to use a *.dat file wich will contain an object with the necessary data to configur the rest of the program instead of a *.txt file
Hope you can help me
Thank you !

Is there a generic way to get sequence

Hey,
I need a counter that will not initialized when my sever restarted, so i decide to write sequence in the data base for this.
My question is there a generic (for any vendor) way to get next id?
Thank you

If all of the target databases supports transactions then it is possible
1. Create a table that holds sequence number
2. For each operation
....a. Start transaction
....b. Get row - only one exists. Hold unto value.
....c. Increment value
....d. Update row
....e. Commit transaction.
....f. Return value from step b.
3. Use index value in some other expression.
Some databases, with non-ANSI SQL code might allow step 2 to be handled as a single statement, thus no transaction is needed.
The above allows for sequential values.
You can find "guid" algorithms written in java. Those produce non-sequential values.
You can produce your own value that is sequential if you can make assumptions about the enviroment that all of the systems will be running in by combining some or all of the following values.
- datetime
- ip
- process id
- static counter in application
- thread id

All of the webpages are showing up "strange" not all the colors are showing, not all the correct boxes are showing, and there are numerous errors in the error console (which doesn't help me)! Is there just a way to reset everything to go back to normal??

Some of the error codes are:
filter
background
border radius
box shadow
height

My Nano 6th gen's screen went blank--is there an easy way to reset this? This is my 4th unit within one year--come on Apple I expect more from you.

My screen is black. But the unit works...I touch the black screen and can get music to play. I only use my nano during work out...nothing extreme. I received my original nano 12 months ago. Due to other issues this is my FOURTH nano...come on Apple...

I don't think it's possible anymore. I'm mildly surprised you were able to keep podcasts in regular playlists this long - I thought this option disappeared back with iOS7.
I do share your pain. I've finally grown used to having the podcasts in a separate app, but I still don't like it.

I keep getting an error message while connecting to the server ("Unknown error") and there is no way to reset preferences on Mac OS X.

[SOLVED] Is there a way to reset /usr/local ?

I've used /usr/local to test a program without installing it to my system with pacman. Prior to this, /usr/local was empty. I'm still learning Linux, but it seems that /usr/local (in the case of Arch) could be used as a playground since nothing gets installed there (at least not in my personal history of using Arch) so that is why I've tested in that location. The only downside is that I've had to add environment variables to my system, but that's no problem.
So currently, /usr/local contains files pertaining only to one single app (in the various directories, e.g. bin, lib, etc). It'd be neat if there was a way to reset /usr/local to factory standards so I don't have to dig through every folder and delete stuff manually.
Is there such an app/script?
If /usr/local isn't meant to be used in such a way, perhaps it'd be convenient to have a folder called /usr/test or something? Or is that what the /tmp folder is for?
THanks for the enlightenment!

@trusktr. What you describe seems complicated and not much reliable. The stage 3) of my script "find the files that are cnewer than the file in /tmp" and make a log of the result in a file in /var/log that I leave there for reference. Of course I install only one package at a time. Your solution has the problem that if you touch in any way a file that belong to the package after it has been installed (because you or some tool modify a configuration file, for instance) you would loose the ability to track it (this would update the ctime to the actual time).
Removing a package is a little more complicated that you describe and cannot be fully automated. Some files are caches of files present in the filesystem (/usr/share/mime/mime.cache for instance) or are just modified by the installation of the package (/usr/share/info/dir) and contains information for several packages. You cannot just delete these files, you have to handle these properly.
Of course the good ways to do things would be to write an archlinux build script. But with my method, there is no additional work to install the package and, although it requires a little attention, it make at least the package removable.
Just for the info, I post my script here (it was written for my personal use with no man pages) (license: public domain):

Is there a way to reset keychain passwords from server.app?

We have a Lion server and a number of Macs that authenticate with the server through open directory. On occasion users have forgotten passwords, and so I've reset them from server.app. I've tried both getting them to enter their password on the server, or setting their password to "password" with reset at next login set, but both methods result in an issue whenever the user logs in where they're prompted to create a new keychain or use their old one (which is not possible because they have forgotten the password to unlock it). This is frustrating for me and users.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this how it is supposed to work? It'd be a real pity if the latter was true, and would go against the idea that "it just works" on the Mac.

That's the way it works. Due to the nature of a Keychain, and what is potentially stored in it, once a password is forgotten you need to use a new Keychain and all data within is "lost". If there were a way to reset the Keychain password then you can grab anyone's Keychain, insert it into another account and then use the reset password to get all of the data out of it… at which point there's little point to password protecting it at all.
