Is there a way to bold inputs and outputs in the VI documentation?

Context help for a VI shows the VI icon and terminals with the VI's documentation. Some VI's documentation is constructed so that Input and Output names always appear in bold. (for example, see the context help for list directory). The attached image shows the context help for a VI I made. I would like to have the documentation look like this:
Searches for all files in directory path that fit pattern. Returns arrays of all the file paths -- FilesMatchingPattern, filenames --FileNamesMatchingPattern and of a cluster containing both values -- StringsAndValues for files that match the given pattern
instead of like this:
Searches for all files in the directory path that fit pattern. Returns arrays of all the file paths (FilesMatchingPattern), filenames (FileNamesMatchingPattern) and of a cluster containing both values (StringsAndValues) that match the given pattern

I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features? I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

Is there a way to move "back" and "forward" through the Library?

Is there a way to move "back" and "forward" through the Library?
For example, I'm editing Symbol_1, then I move to Symbol_22. Now to get back to Symbol_1 I need to find it again in the Library and double-click on it. Is there a shortcut for that?

No, but you can always use the library search option to widdle down the number of items displayed. It'd be a good feature request as I find myself hopping between specific movieclip depths on common clips often. Sort of like a clip/depth bookmark.

Audio input and output at the same time

Hello mac users.
I have one simple question: since the new macbook has one single audio port for both input and output, how could I, for example, play my guitar AND listen to the headphones at the same time?
I KNOW (because I've tried) that with the iPhone headphones with microphone the port CAN physically work at the same time for input and output, so the question is: what can I use to do that? Will a simple splitter do or do I have to use different tricks?
(I know there is a thread on this already, but it doesn't provide a definitive answer)
Thank you!

One of the first questions to ask...
Is the audio input stereo or mono?
When using a headset mic you're dealing with a mono input so you at least know the Mac is capable of that.
If it's mono, and I suspect it is, should be easy to either make or purchase a custom cable that has two female input connectors, one mono input and a stereo headphone input.
However, I'd probably just purchase a USB audio interface, the sound, both recording and playback will be head and shoulders above the Macbooks built in internal audio.

How to get the sine wave sample of the input and output in the same time?

I discovered that the samples were acquired did not in the same time in my vi.Could you tell me how to get the sine wave sample of the input and output in the same time?

Hello Yun_Zhu,
Your VI looks like you started from an example, and you are on the right track.
To clarify are you trying to synchronize the input and the output waveforms? If you you will need to share a time base and a start trigger. Check out the synchronization examples from LabVIEW

I have on;y one audio port can i use it for input and output at the same time?

i have the new macbook pro 13 in and i want to connect aguitar as input and output on an amp but i have only one audio port

You can't use the jack as an input and output simultaneously. The solution is to look for a USB or Firewire interface to get your guitar sound into the computer.

I have 2 apple id accounts, one on my iphone and one on my ipad. I would like them to be the same id. Is there a way to do this and still keep the music on my phone?

I have 2 apple id accounts, one on my phone and one for my ipad. I would like to be able to use icloud and be able to sync info beteween them. Is there any way to change the apple id on my iphone without losing all the music and apps?

No. You can sign in and out of the different accounts on the phone and the iPad but you can't use automatic downloads with two different ID's and if you switch to another ID on a device and then you download past purchases using that ID, you will lock yourself out of the other ID for 90 days.

RS232 Input and Output in the same time

Hello
I have problem with rs232.
I read information from my power supply by RS232 Input:
Expected string: 1923456789<CR>OK<CR>
Channel 0
Measurement data request: GETD00\r
Measurement data format: 4a
Channel 1
Measurement data request: (empty)
Measurement data format: 4a
Channel 3
Measurement data request: (empty)
Measurement data format: 1a4x
Sample interval: 0.20s
The date are readed correctly until I don't send other string by RS232 Out.
Output [a]\r (VOLT00123)
After sending string Power Supply return data OK<CR>
After sending string by RS232 Output the data form RS232 are readed incorrectly.

In the Output format, you need to skip the OK<CR> so it doesn't confuse the input parsing.
The Help says the following
If there is the need to wait for the Response String of the external device the following string has to be attached to the format string.
‘\#x' (x=1-999)
That ensures that no other module will address the interface. If the response is received the defined number (x) of characters will be skipped.
So, the output string should be
[a]\r\#3
That will send the command, then wait for the OK<CR> before handing control of the serial port back to the RS232 Input module.

NI error -201133; Input and output on the NI9401

Former user of Matlab, it is the first time I try to work with the DAQ and national instrument. My device is a NI9401.
I want to record the position of 1 optical encoders. For this , the encoder is connected to counter in the 9401.
Here is how I proceed:
1/ I open a new DAQ session
2/ I add a counter channel, in order to make a clock (because, as I understood, to do a startForeground I have to configure a clock which will be associated with my data recording, am I right?
3/ I add a counter channel in order to have the data corresponding to the position of the encoder. But at this time I have the error message about the session reserved.
here is the code
//first I do the clock
ClockFreq=100;
sClk=daq.createSession('ni');
sClk.addCounterOutputChannel('cDAQ1Mod5',0,'PulseGeneration');
clkTerminal=sClk.Channels(1).Terminal;
sClk.Channels(1).Frequency=ClockFreq;
sClk.IsContinuous=true;
sClk.startBackground
//then
I configure the data input
s=daq.createSession('ni')
s.addCounterInputChannel('cDAQ1Mod5'),1,'Edgecount')
At this time I have the NI error -201133 message
Devices cannot be configured for input or output because lines and/or terminals on this device are in use by antoher task or route. This operation requires temporarily reserving all lines and terminals for communication, which interferes with the other task or route.
If possible, use DAQmx Control task to reserve all tasks that use this device before committing any tasks that use this device. Otherwise, uncommit or unreserve the other task or disconnect the other route before attempting to configure the device for input or output.
device : cDAQ1Mod5
Digital Port:0
Lines:3
Thus, my question is :
1/how can I configure both output clock and input counter in NI9401 directly using Matlab?
Thanks for your help.

If you want to do clocked counter input measurements you need to specify an external clock OR (if available) you can add an analog input channel from another module on the same chassis -- in this case the session shares an internal clock with both modules.
The external clock can be generated by a counter output channel in pulse generation mode, as you had session sClck configured. However, ther error you are running into could be due to using channels from the same counter subsystem (on the same module) in two separate sessions.
Can you try using the counter output channel from another module (if available)?
s = daq.createSession('ni');
s.addCounterInputChannel('cDAQ1Mod5', 1,'EdgeCount');
s.addClockConnection('External', 'cDAQ1Mod5/PFI2', 'ScanClock');
extClockFreq = 1E+3;
% this should match the frequency of the external clock
s.Rate = extClockFreq;
s.DurationInSeconds = 1;
[data, timestamps] = s.startForeground;
The alternative to using an external clock, as I mentioned, is to have one session with one counter input channel and an analog input channel from another module on the same chassis -- in this case the session shares an internal clock with both modules, so no external clock needs to be provided.

Is there a way to disable drag-and-drop on the pages panel?

Hi, I'm using Indesign CS3 on Windows XP. My computer is a laptop and the problem I'm having is that when I have the pages panel open, I have sometimes drag-and-dropped pages of a document into a new order without meaning to (the laptop touch pad seems made for these butterfingers-type moves). The documents that I'm laying out are several hundred pages long, so sometimes I don't notice that I've screwed a few pages up until much later. If there is any way to just turn this feature off, that would be great. Due to the arrangement in which I usually work best (on a sofa), I would prefer not to have to attach an actual mouse to the laptop. Thank you for any help.

Not that I know of.

CFP-DIO-550 open multiple input and output at the same time

I am trying to read and write at different times with the cFP-DIO-550. I cant figure out how to read all the inputs at the same time.
In the Create Tag.vi, I cant figure what to wire to the Item Name input. I have tried Input 0, and that works, but it is only one input, I need to read all 8. I have also tried Input All, All, Input 0:8. input 0-8, input 0: Input 8, Input 0 - Input 8, and I always get an error.
I cant find anything on it in the manual.
Thanks,
Kenny

Normally I would select 'All' using a FP IO point function instead of create tag ( LV 7.0 and up ). I have noticed that the 'All' is only available if the module is all inputs or all outputs. It may be that since your module is an IO, 'All' is not available by default.
I think you need to create an item in MAX in the Data Neighborhood under the DIO-550 Module and configure it to use all the IO on the module.

How to control (the input and output) EXE file after I call it using exec?

Hi,
I knew that I can use runtime.exec() to call one EXE file, and this works. But this EXE has two characteristics:
1. After this exe starts, it asks user to input number such as 1 or 2 onto computer screen, then press return. Then the exe will start the calculation.
2. after it starts calculation, it prints 3 columns of numbers onto the screen.
My two questions are:
1. How to use java to input the number such as 1 or 2 automatically? this EXE can not work like this in DOS command line:
C:> file.exe parameter
The parameter is the number such as 1 or 2 that I wanna input.
2. how to redirect the 3 columns of numbers from computer screen to txt file?
My colleague can solve these two questions using Mathematica. So I know that definitely there is at least one solution for it. I just can not do it using Java. This wierd exe file bothered me a lot and I really wish that I can get help from someone in java community.
Thank you!
Tony

When you call Runtime.exec, you get a Process object. (I presume something similar happens when you use ProcessBuilder.) Process has methods with names getOutput, getInput, and getError. These correspond to the standard input, standard output, and standard error streams of the spawned process.
You can read and write to the process on the streams corresponding to input and output that the process writes to the console.
[add]
In fact, you should be grabbing and reading the output/error streams anyway, because of the points raised by the Traps article. Google "Java Runtime exec traps" and you'll probably get a link to this JavaWorld article, which describes common Runtime.exec problems and how to solve them.

Way to know when and who ran the MRP for a plant

Hi,
Is there a way to find when and who ran the MRP for a plant in Prodn Environment? I know if you look at MD05, we know the MRP list based on date/time of last MRP run. But it does not tell me who ran the MRP.
Currently there are some purchase reqs getting created by the system and we want to find who ran the MRP and what was their selection screen data. Please can anyone help to provide some info on this.
Thanks in advance.

Sound input and output gone

After i updated to 10.5.4, my sound input and output disappeared. I've tried to update my quicktime once and i've also reinstalled the 10.5.4 update without any luck. I have a Leopard dvd, but i'm not sure whether i'm able to only install the sound drivers once again? Any other suggenstions?
thanks in advance

Thanks.
I did reinstall the combo, if you mean this one; http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html. And it didn't help, there isn't anything in input or output in the sound preferences panel.
Isn't it possible to perform an install of the sound drivers without having to do a total format? I've looked through my leopard disk content and checked all the optional installs and haven't been able to find them.. Can i download them seperately somewhere?
