Is there a tool that reads the number of assigned RefNums (primarily Queues)?

Hi-
I have been troubleshooting a memory leak caused by queues, and have found the following link helpful:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=85418&requireLogin=False
My question is: Is there a tool that I can use that will show me how many refnums are opened in memory? Preferably with the references name? It would make verifying queue memory leaks and their eradication so much easier! If such a tool does not exist, could it be added to the VI profiler sometime in the future?
Thanks!

BUMP. I am curious too. But I suspect not.
A couple of things:
Looking queues up by name creates a new reference to that queue (even if it exists). So if you have a VI that runs for a long time repeatably looking it up by name, it will bleed the memory dry.
Setting the "force destroy" of the release queue to true will destroy all references to that queue. Freeing up that memory.
As you are aware, I uses queues in my primary architecture. I have run them in 30 plus day trials with no problems. (I realize this is not helping you.) so by NI side implementation, there is no problem.
I am not sure how much of a bear it would be, but you could wrap the "create queue" and log the number of creates that you are running. You can wrap the release queue, and see which are getting released. Keep in mind if you "create" the same queue twice you will have two references open to that queue. Force destroy closes both, otherwise, you are left with the remaining. It is a management nightmare. The latest incarnation of my statecase manager implements queue tracking. The nice part of this, is that I can actually pass events to any queue running, and save myself the trouble of looking it up by name.
But you do have your work cut out for you, depending on the size of your program.
Good luck.

Are there any tools that automate the conversion of SSJS to JSP?

What about a "wrapper" servlet to run the SSJS, do they exist? We are upgrading to Iplanted Web Server 6.0 and are looking for alternatives to a re-write

Rhino is an implementation of JS written in Java. I have only a limited amount of knowledge about it, but my understanding is that it might be helpful both in terms of a migration path (allowing you to execute JS from within Java) and in terms of code conversion (converting JS to Java).

That sounds like it will work. I'll try adding a client count
increment/decrement in the DLL initialize and terminate functions. This
should essentially perform the same tasks as the callback scheme you mention
above, no?
The reason I didn't think the 'client counting' scheme would work initially
was I mistakenly thought that the termination function would not get called
under Terminate conditions. Since Terminate conditions happen a LOT during
our initial debug of new UUT types, I didn't think that would be acceptable.
I forgot that lacing the terminate funciton in a cleanup step group, I can
force it to be called in Terminate conditions.

Hey guys, I'm having trouble matching the colour of the image back ground (white) with the pre-set colour selection. is there a tool that can help me? thanks

hey guys, I'm having trouble matching the colour of the image back ground (white) with the pre-set colour selection. is there a tool that can help me? thanks

Your description of the problem is not quite clear so I made certain assumptions. I hope I am rigtht. I believe you have a color patch such as this:
that you would like to place in an image area that has modeling in its white background. You do not want to lay in a flat color but rather to add a color and not lose the modeling or other background tone. The problem is, after making the selection, if you use Edit > Fill and set the Blending mode to Color, the white background remains white. The only colored background area may be an object's shadow or some similar area that is not pure white. (Image 2) It is an unsatisfactory result.
If that is an accurate description of the problem, consider this:
Image 1: The original image
Image 2: Edit > Fill with the Blending mode set to Color. White remains white
Image 3: Mode changed to Lab Color. Edit > Fill with the Blending Mode set to Color. Then return to RGB.
(I would not normally use this green as a replacement color but since it is a Tiffany clock, I chose a light version of Tiffany's trademark color.)

Is there a tool that I can use to get web pages that fit to the monitor screen

Is there a tool that I can use to make webpages fit the size of my monitor screen instead of having to scroll side to side to read an email?

Hi notmarriedanymo,
You can try using [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-zoom Zoom]. This will increase/decrease the size of everything on the page. You can try hitting ''CTRL and +'' a few times to try it out. ''CTRL and 0'' will return it to normal size.
Hopefully this helps!

Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

Thanks Kelly,
The answers would be the following:
1200 cells per custom section (NEW COUNT), and up to 30 custom sections per spec.
Assuming all will be populated, and this would apply to all final material specs in the system which could be ~25% of all material specs.
The cells will be numeric, free text, drop downs, and some calculated numeric.
Are we reaching the limits for UI performance?
Thanks

How do I put timecode on the storyline. In FCP 7 there was a time code reader that read the actual TC on the source material. There isn't one in FCP 10.1...Any recommendations???

How do I put timecode on the storyline. In FCP 7 there was a time code reader that read the actual TC on the source material. There isn't one in FCP 10.1...Any recommendations???

TC has not been lost...skimmer shows source TC.
Nanoflash external recorder via SDI on a Sony PMW-EX3.
Ok so Compressor will show source TC on an individual clip, good I didn't know this and it will be helpful.
My scenario. I build a timeline with a whole days shooting involving many different clips and build a Sequence from that-editing out the off camera questions/mistakes etc. In the past I would export with source TC with a Timecode Reader filter applied. Now, it is a TC Generator filter that is available that starts from 00:00.
1. Possible solution, forget the source TC since I have a timeline built with (counter) TC on it and send that to client or get Apple to add it in the future.
2. Apply TC Generator on a clip by clip basis and manually change the TC to match source material. Probably too, much effort though.

There was a problem reading the layer data. Read the composite data instead?

I can't open my psd with properly in Photoshop, it keeps showing :There was a problem reading the layer data. Read the composite data instead?
Photoshop cc
Help please

I just discovered this issue. Apparently if your PSD document has a tonne of layers, it will save normally. Then suppose you are working on it one day, and create lots of new additional layers...saving that will then corrupt the PSD file, as apparently the number of layers exceeds some hidden limit. You will not be able to load that back in, as Photoshop doesn't appear to allow you to do that.This issue appears for both PSD & PSB files. I lost a few weeks of updates, but recovered thanks to a few backups.
One clue you can use to ensure you don't inadvertently save over the file (thereby corrupting it), is to try duplicating a layer or a group of layers. You will not have the option to do so. If you encounter that, immediately open a new file, and drag a few groups of layers to the new document (and deleting them in the original document). You should then go back below the 'limit', allowing you to save normally.
As for the original corrupted file, well I tried repairing it with a whole host of tools. But nothing worked ....

Hi, 
Your question is a bit vague. Are you talking about the SPARC 
instruction set usage, profiling, coverage or something else? 
There are a number of utilities distributed as part of the Sun

IS THERE A FUNCTION TO RETURN THE NUMBER OF MONTHS OR DAYS?

I know that you can do a months between function between 2 dates divided by 12 and get years but is there a function that can return the number of months between 2 dates or the number of days between 2 dates in a select statement for a report? These 2 dates are entered in an Oracle forms.
I have 2 dates.
BEG_SVC_DT 30-JUL-1995 DATE FORMAT
END_SVC_DT 981007 VARCHAR2 FORMAT Positions 5 and 6 are the days.
I must subtract BEG_SVC_DT from END_SVC_DT.
In PLSQL I add 31 to 07 and get 38. I subtract 30 from 38 and get 8.
or I have 2 dates
BEG_SVC_DT 10-JAN-2003 DATE FORMAT
END_SVC_DT 050924 VARCHAR2 FORMAT Positions 5 and 6 are the days.
I must subtract BEG_SVC_DT from END_SVC_DT.
In PLSQL I subtract 10 from 24 and get 14.
In both scenarios the end_dt field must be VARCHAR2 because the user has to enter the word 'PRESENT' . Is there a function in SQL that would compute the
number of days between 2 dates?
Is there a function to get the number of months between 2 dates?
I have 2 dates.
BEG_SVC_DT 12-JUL-2004 DATE FORMAT
END_SVC_DT 050807 VARCHAR2 FORMAT Positions 3 and 4 are months.
I must subtract BEG_SVC_DT from END_SVC_DT
JUL is the 7th month.
In PLSQL, I subtract 07 from 08 and get 01
Or I have 2 dates
BEG_SVC_DT 13-NOV-2004 DATE FORMAT
END_SVC_DT 050429 VARCHAR2 FORMAT Positions 3 and 4 are months.
I must subtract BEG_SVC_DT from END_SVC_DT.
NOV is the eleventh month. 04 is less than 11.
In PLSQL I have to add 12 to 04 and subtract 11 from 16 to get 05.
In both scenarios, the end_dt field must be VARCHAR2 because the user has to enter the word 'PRESENT'. In SQL, is there a function to compute the number of months between 2 dates?
I am doing my calculations this way because this is the way that the user has been doing them when they created the report manually.
The database that I am using is Oracle 9.2.0.6
Report Writer Report Builder 6.0.8.22.0
Forms 6.0.8.22.1

In your example:
BEG_SVC_DT 30-JUL-1995 DATE FORMAT
END_SVC_DT 981007 VARCHAR2 FORMAT Positions 5 and 6 are the days.
I must subtract BEG_SVC_DT from END_SVC_DT.
In PLSQL I add 31 to 07 and get 38. I subtract 30 from 38 and get 8.
Where is the "31" depending on, on year and month of BEG_SVC_DT or END_SVC_DT?
What would be the answer for the following example
BEG_SVC_DT 25-FEB-1995 DATE FORMAT
END_SVC_DT 980407 VARCHAR2 FORMAT
Do I add 28 (=number of days in FEB-1995),
or 30 (=number of days in APR-1998),
or 31 (= max number of days in any month?)
