Is there a way to replace tags on import rather than create duplicates??

I use the tag engine to connect with the KEPWARE OPC server program and at times I want to change how the tags are located inside KEPWARE but keep the same tagnames inside LABVIEW. I export the .scf file and modify it inside EXCEL. When I import it again it will create duplicate tagnames. When you have 4000-8000 tags, it can take awhile to delete the duplicates. It would be great if we could replace the existing tag name data. Maybe I should be creating a vi to modify the properties of individual tags instead. How does anyone else work around this issue??

I would export all of the tags and then modify the ones that need to be modified. Then, before I import them, I would create a new scf file. This way there are no duplicates.

  • Is there a way to change the true resolution rather than scaling?

    Hi,
    I have searched through just about every single forum, website and search engine there is and haven't found anything. Perhaps I am phrasing my question wrong. I currently own a Macbook Pro 13.3'' Retina (Of Mid-2014 since I just bought it?) and I can't figure out how to change the resolution. The OS seems to default to 2560x1600 no matter what I set it to because I think all its changing is the scaling. Is there a way to do this? I used to own a Macbook Air 13.3'' which ran 1440x900 and I know that it was pixelated. On the same size display here...when I run the claimed "1440x900" its still ultra sharp which means its using scaling I assume. Any ideas how do I change the actual resolution, not just the scaling. The OSX settings currently seem to be just the equivalent of modifying the DPI like you can in Windows. I want to find out if there is a way to change the actual output resolution.

    The MacBook Pro like all laptops has an LCD screen. Like all LCD screens the screen has a single physical resolution, in the case of your MacBook Pro Retina 13.3" it is 2560x1600 pixels. This is the number is dots the screen is physically made of.
    In the old days when desktop computers used CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) displays which looked like TVs these sort of displays could display multiple resolutions in fact CRTs have no single fixed physical resolution. However LCDs which use totally different technology do only have a single 'real' resolution.
    If your really interested in how a CRT can do different resolutions then the answer is that a CRT uses an electron beam to excite the phosphor display on the front of the display (to make it glow), it scans from left to right, moves down a line and then does the next line, and so on till it reaches the bottom and then goes back to the top. The speed (rate) at which it does this is known as the horizontal frequency and the vertical (refresh) frequency or rate. If the horizontal line is drawn specific time and that is divided in to 640 units, then it can be told to turn off and on 640 times per line, if the same line is drawn in the same time but the interval is divided in to 1024 then it can 'draw' 1024 horizontal pixels instead of 640 horizontal pixels. In actuality the display has no physical pixel you are merely lighting up small or larger areas on the screen and hence a CRT has no single fixed resolution.
    In order for a computer using an LCD display to use a different apparent resolution it has to 'scale' the image to a different size, as a very simple example if we wanted to scale down to 1280x800 pixels which is exactly half 2560x1600 then the computer would use 2x2 (four) physical pixels to represent a single scaled pixel. Often however the chosen scaled resolution may not be an exact multiple like that example. Apple on the Retina display have provided some suggested scaled resolutions which work reasonably well these being 1680 by 1050, 1440 by 900, and 1024 by 640 pixels.
    None of these will look as good as 2560x1600 because the screen physically is made up of 2560x1600 dots and no amount of cheating will change that.

  • Is there any way to refresh the zfs snapshot other than creating another on

    Hi,
    I want to use the zfs send / recv replication, after I create the snapshot and do send/ recv to the remote filesystem, is there any way to do send and recv from the same snapshot after making some changes to the original filesystem other than creating another snapshot every time before send / recv
    Thanking you
    Ushas Symon

    No, you'd have to take another snapshot and then send it, but you don't need to save all the snapshots after you are done. If you script it out to take snapshots fairly often during the day, the amount of data would be small. You can also send to a file and then backup that file to tape or whatever, you wouldn't have to save a million snapshots. You can also look into OpenSolaris' Time Slider function.

  • Is there a way to stretch a background image rather than repeating it?

    I have a one celled table with a background image.  It's really just a gradient strip (gradient going from top to bottom - ending in fade to white).  I want the image to continue all the way across the page.  If I set it to repeat via X, somehow you can see where the repeat begins... so I was wondering if there's a way to just stretch the image from left to right to force it to fit exactly to 98% of the window no matter how big the window is.
    Thanks...

    (RH10 for Webhelp)

    That's not entirely true. With CSS, you can stretch a background image to any dimension:
    background-size: 10px 100%;
    Also see: CSS3 background-size property
    Kind regards,

  • Is there a way to make table entries vertical rather than horizontal?

    I am wanting to make custom x-axis values which are names of sensors rather than numbers so i was going to just place a table to make the custom values.  But i do not think Labview will allow vertical text like it is in the y-axis units.  It only allows this for captions and labels.  Does anyone know?

    Here is a quick demo that is a bit more robust and picks-up on CC's suggestion.
    It simply uses a picture control with a transparent background to hold the text labels.
    It is in LV 8.0 but should be code-able back to 6.1.
    This VI is suitable for use in creating an XControl.
    Anyone game?

  • Is there a way to replace re-sized images?

    I have several images (640 x 480) that I have placed into a PDF. When I use the Object TouchUp Tool, (right-click and choose "Place Image...") they come in WAY too big for the layout, so I scale them down to fit. Now, I need to replace those images with new ones (also 640 x 480).
    1) Is there a way to replace the images, (Right-Click on the image to be replaced > "Place Image...") so that the new images are placed at the same dimensions (and hopefully position) as the scaled old images, instead of having them come in HUGE again and manually scaling them down and re-positioning them?
    2) Or, at least, is there a preference dialog somewhere that I can define a specific dimensions for the images to be imported at, regardless of their resolution outside of acrobat.
    I realize I could create smaller thumbnails and place those in the PDF instead. However, the person who will be responsible for replacing the images isn't very computer savvy, and it would take longer for them to save thumbnails then to just place the image directly into Acrobat and scale them down.

    I want to AVOID scaling the new pictures (and in an ideal world, I'd also like to avoid re-positioning) manually. Example, I have a window sticker PDF for a silver car with 3 pictures in it, a front, rear, and interior. When initially placed into the PDF, the pics (640 x 480)for the car were too big for the layout, so I used the Object TouchUp Tool in Acrobat 8 Pro to scale them down to about 150 px wide and position them correctly. Now, we get a new car in. It's practically the same car, but blue. So, the most efficient way to create a new pdf window sticker for the blue car would be to save a copy of the silver PDF and then just replace the silver pics with blue ones.
    Practically every other graphical Adobe program on the planet has a way to "replace" or "update" raster images. In my Acrobat 8 Pro travels, it doesn't seem there is a way to do this. I can "replace" (overwrite) the old silver pictures by selecting a pic with the Object TouchUp Tool, then right-click "Place Image..." This will stick the new blue photo in the same position as the old one. However, it still imports in at the giant 640x480 size, instead of the scaled-down 150 px wide size. So, I still need to manually scale the new blue photo down.
    Also, I've tried every combination of SHIFT, ALT, CTRL clicking to try to scale the pic from its center. In other words, if I grab the lower-right handle of the pic, the anchor point for the scale is the upper-left corner of the pic... so scaling it like this throws the pic out of position anyway.
    So, if anyone has a way to scale a pic from it's center, instead of the corners, please post it!! Even if I could get a dialog box requiring specific numeric dimensions... that would be preferable to having to re-size and manually nudge and smush the pics around to a rough eyeball location every time I need to make a new window sticker for a car (which is a lot)
    Cheers!

    HOW TO REPLACE SAFARI BOOKMARKS IN ICLOUD
    Turn off iCloud for Safari on all devices including the Mac that will be used to house the bookmarks you want to keep.  On your iDevices, if it asks to delete bookmarks, choose YES.
    On the Mac, clean up bookmarks using the Edit feature.  When finished, copy (do not move) the bookmarks file in the Safari folder in the library (Bookmarks.plist) to a safe location.  You will be copying the file back shortly. 
    Turn on iCloud for Safari on the Mac only.  Now manually delete all the bookmarks.  This will make iCloud “think” you want these changes to be stored in iCloud and because the other iDevices are have iCloud turned off, they won’t keep “feeding” iCloud with  your “old” bookmarks.  When you are done, there are now there are no more bookmarks stored in iCloud.
    You may want to also manually delete any bookmarks from the Favorites Bar also so that everything is cleaned out.
    Now turn off iCloud for Safari on the Mac.
    Copy your cleaned up Bookmarks.plist back into the library.
    Turn on iCloud for Safari on the Mac.
    Your cleaned up bookmarks will now load into iCloud.
    When everything looks good, turn iCloud for Safari back on in your iDevices.

  • Is there any way to add tags to the Notes app?

    Is there any way to add tags to the Notes app for Mac and iOS?
    I've been checking out some other notes apps like Evernote, Simplenote, and Vesper, and the main thing I like about all of them and wish Apple's Notes app had are tags. I keep a lot of notes, and having tags just makes it a lot easier to process or keep track of everyhting. But I don't see a way to add tags to the Notes app on Mac or iOS and was wondering if maybe I'm missing something.
    It isn't the end of the world if I have to use one of the other notes apps, but I prefer to use the stock apps for some of the little conveniences (like being able to ask Siri to make a note).
    Thanks for any help,
    Robert

    No, there isn't a way to do it.
    You could manually put tags like #tag1 #tag2 or something of your convention in the notes and seach for them, but there is no functionality to support organized tagging (or filtering via tags) in Notes right now.

  • Is there a way to put an item under more than one calendar at the same time?

    I use the calendar to keep track of not only my schedule, but my entire family's. For years I had a calendar labeled 'kids.' Now as they're getting older it would be easier to have an individual calendar for each child. Easier for me to track where they are and they could have they're own calendar on their iphone or iphone touch since we all share one cloud account. However, frequently more than one is at the same activity. The calendar program will only allow me to select one calendar to place an event under; as soon as I select another, it deselects the first. Is there a way to place an event under more than one calendar?
    (Since I'm still the one driving that needs to know date, time, place, etc type details I don't want them adding it to their own schedule - maybe -  on their devides and synching through cloud)

    You can create many calendars. Here's the tip:
    Example: you have 1 son and 1 daughter.
    In iCloud ( https://www.icloud.com )
    Create 1 calendar called Son ( Choose a color to tell them apart )
    Create 1 calendar called Daughter ( Ditto )
    Create 1 calendar called Kids
    Since you are the creator, you get to see all calendars combined.
    Send invitations to each of them
    Son gets Son and Kids calendars
    Daughter gets Daughter and Kids calendars
    So if there an event for Son, just put in that calendar
    If it's for both then enter it in the Kids calendar
    Likewise for daughter.

    You have to order each book separately, if the books are different. Only multiple copies of the same book can be ordered in the same order, see here

  • Is there a way to access 11i from outside other than Self service?

    Is there a way to access 11i from outside other than Self service?
    I could connect any application from inside the firewall (basically router) and can not access screens from outside. Eventhough port forwarding 80 allows us upto initial screen, it does not go further.
    Any workaround/suggestions

    Hi Jiltin,
    If you can migrate your forms server into Forms Listener Servlet.This will allow you to use forms outside firewall provided atleast one port(assuming yours 80) is open.

  • Is there a way to sort by date imported?

    Hi everybody,
    Is there a way to sort photos by the date they were imported, rather than by EXIF data?
    If iPhoto 6 does not offer this option, does iPhoto '09?
    The reason I ask is that not all my photos are from cameras. Some are scanned, and others are from e-mails. I'd also like the ability to simply ignore EXIF data since so many cameras are set to an incorrect date.
    Thanks beautiful people!

    No there isn't.
    However, you can correct the dates on shots taken with cameras (Photos -> Adjust date and time) and add dates to scanned photos.
