Is there an easy way to document a DAQ configuration using DAQmx?
I'm looking for an equivalent to the "Virtual_Channel_Info_Grabber.vi" that was available for traditional NI-DAQ. I want to be able to create a text/XML file with all of the configuration information for a task or virtual channel. Specifically signal conditioning settings.
Mike,
Currently an example does not exist that does this in NI-DAQmx. However, you could certainly build a VI that does something very similar to the Virtual_Channel_Info_Grabber.vi in NI-DAQmx using the DAQmx System Property Node and the DAQmx Channel Property Node.

Is there an easy way to create simple forms for use in iweb?
or a template?
I need to create a reply form on the site I am working on.
thanksAfter a few days of working on this issue the tutorial is updated to make the form be sent from within the webpage with extra form additions available as well!
The form is fully customizable for background color or image background, there's no ads or service to sign up for, all you have to do is copy and paste a code into your html and enable cgi and/or php on your host with some additional small tweeks here and there to put it all together. Basically it's the do it yourself way.
*The form on the tutorial link provided still opens the Email app when the form is submitted but we have tested this method on our other sites using the same procedures mentioned with successful results. -
to convert all these files for garageband use (apple loops)
You will have to convert them to proper Apple Loops - add tags for key and tempo, category.
One way to do this would be to use GarageBand to add the wav files to the Loop Library one by one:
Find out the tempo and the key (if applicable) of one of your loops.
Set the key and tempo for your project.
Import a loop to a real instrument track and name the track, select the loop and use the command "Edit > Add to loop library". Set all the tags correctly, so the loopp will be properly indexed.
There used to be a SoundTrack Loop Utility, but I am not sure if it is still available somewhere. My old links don't work anymore.

Is there an easy way to add a location map to Pages?
Hi,
Using the latest version of Pages, is there an easy way to add a location map?
Many Thanks
Simon.Are you trying to copy an image from the Maps application?
If you are, the easiest way I have found to do this is by going to Edit>Copy in Maps and then pasting the image in the Pages document. -
Is there an easy way to create 2 page imposed PDFs with a background?
I have figured out a way to create a suitable imposed single page PDF using the 'import as layer' action, the action only understands a single paged background PDF.
In other words, I have a PDF that has the suitable marks on it with the pages marked 'Page 1' & 'Page 2'. This is the background PDF.
I open this PDF in Acrobat and run the action that places another PDF (the 'Source' PDF) on multiple layers with different offsets.
The original (template) PDF is 2 pages & the Source PDF for imposition is 2 pages, and even though the 'import as layer' understands that the source PDF being imposed is 2 pages, it does not seem to allow the original (template) PDF to be seen as 2 pages.
There is a 'Target page number' option in the Preview area, but that is grayed out at 1.
So...other than commercial applications, is there an easy way to build a 2 page PDF imposition file??
Maybe a script?Sabian,
Yes, the Quite software would be perfect, especially the 'Hot'. Tested & works great for us, but the price tag for the 'Hot' is rather steep for our relatively simple process......background template with a 'step & repeat' of the 'live' document.
As I mentioned in the original post, to do this with a single page PDF is simple enough using an action that places the 'live' doc multiple times, but the vast majority of our publications are 2 pages.
Currently runing the action twice for each job. I would save a bit of time if this could be automated to do both sides with one action, or one script. -
Is there an easy way to replace spry menus with jQuery menu system?
I just learned that Adobe is no longer using spry or that spry does not work on mobile devices. My entire site (built in CS5.5 moved to CS6) is built with 3 different spry menu systems. I have been told about jQuery, and many other menu system options. I work in design view and can copy and paste code, read code etc...but cant write it to save my life. I cannot seen to understsand how a different menu software system will integrate with DW especially when I use design view. My question is, is there an easy way to change my spry menu's? I have 2 spry menu bars, spry tabbed menus on EVERY page and a spry accordian menu that repeats on all pages. I am working with a template I built, so hopefully it is an easy fix.
Any walkthrough help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the code for my template minus the div set up.

Is there an easy way to create an portfoliopage on my site?
I like to know how i can do this the best? Im not so good in Dreamweaver.
this is my page where i like to put the portfolio in.
Ive got a almost 10 documents wich i want to put on my page.
i can make thumbnails from the documents for on the page.
Looking forward to your answer..
RegardsThank you very much. The last one youve send me looks the most what i have in mind. With some thumbnails and when you click on it you see a larger document.
But it doesnt fit quite in the style of the site. You have an other example for me?

Yes. Applescript can run in the backgound. The applications you run also need to be able to run in the background. You need to run scriptable applications & avoid simulating the keyboard & mouse. You need to run commands that are in the application dictionary.

Is there any easier way to set as homepage
Is there an easy way to ask our users to set my website [http://www.itsmysearch.com] (or any other page on that website) as Homepage.
I mean, currently i ask users to 'drag the link' on their homepage icon. But isn't there a way so that, they just click on a link, and set the page as thr homepage?Yes, take a look at this JS code:
function bookmark(){
var title = 'Title of Bookmark';
var url = 'http://yourdomain.com';
if (document.all)
window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);
else if (window.sidebar)
window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, "")
else if (window.sidebar&&window.sidebar.addPanel)
window.sidebar.addPanel(title,url,"");
And call it like:
<a href="javascript:bookmark()">Bookmark this site</a>

If you have facing pages, you have to set up the document with facing pages that is what is it for. If you have a spreadwide design as above, keep the spreads together. There is not even one reason not to do so.
Only for wire-O-bindings might a different workflow useful, but also with facing pages documents and only when the left page and the right page have not a spread wide design:
//// I did one mistake, I created a doument with a right binding, but it would work the same way with left binding.)
1. Create a document with Facing Pages.
2. Select the Spread in the Page Panel (Window > Page Panel) and in the panel’s flyout menu deselect "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle". The spread’s page number will appear in brackets.
3. Select a single page of the spread and drag it to the side until a vertical bar appears.
4. Now you have the result.
Left and right pages have their own spread and will have a bleed around each page without taking information from the other page. -
Is there an easy way to make JSpinner wrap around at max/min values?
I have several pages with a couple dozen JSpinners to set various values - mostly numeric, but some are not.
I would like to make them wrap around when either the max or min values are reached.
Is there an easy way to do this?
I was hoping for something like an "enableWraparound" property, but I haven't found such an animal.
I suspect I could add value change listeners to all the components and do it by brute force,
but there are too many spinners scattered around to make that an option I would like to take.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.Ok, it looks like custom spinner models are the way to go.
Hopefully, I can create a couple that are generic enough to meet my requirements without too much pain.
It looks like the ones I have already created will be easy enough to modify.
Thanks for the feedback. -
Is there an easy way to clear the contents of Download Folder?
Is there an easier way to clear out files (send to trash) from the downloads folder, other than dragging one by one? The downloads folder closes immediately upon dragging one file out.
You do not need to invoke Finder to do this. Create a new empty Automator workflow and use the "Run Shell Script" option. Paste in the following....
mv ~/Downloads/* ~/.Trash
You can then save the workflow as an application, attach it as a Finder action or add it to the scripts menu, whichever you like better.
If you would like to bypass the Trash and just completely delete the Downloads folder contents immediately, then paste in this command:
rm -rf ~/Downloads/* -
I recently upgraded to the iphone 5 and managed to sort the transition out with little trouble but noticed when I tried to put my music on that Itunes has messed with album info and either it or me has generated several copies of the same albums over the years and it makes it quite dificult to sort it all out before reloading on the phone. To stop the chaos I had hoped to clear the library and start again but cant find a way to do it. I was hoping to sort all my music out in original files and consolidate them into a proper folder. HOw do I do this. I notice there is an add fole and folder button but no take away??? is there an easy way?
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. If you have multiple references to the same files then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

Is there an easy way to reimport all songs in my itunes folder?
This may sound like a weird question but here goes... When I bring up my iTunes I have 8731 files (mostly music) that come to about 41.33G's but when I right click on my iTunes Music folder and select properties there are 8809 files and a total of 48.5G's. I am trying to free up some disk space and can't figure out why there is such a difference. I had issues with Norton 360 and removed it but I had to restore my music files from an external drive and when I did so I lost the links for music that I added after my last back-up. I noticed that TV shows I bought from Apple were not in my iTunes but I was able to locate them in the folder, and import them back into iTunes. I have a feeling there are music files in my folders that are not linked to iTunes but can't figure out how to import them without going through all 8800+ files. Is there an easy way to import all the files without losing the current playcounts or a way to figure out which files may be duplicated in my iTunes Music folder. Seems like I am wasting 7G somewhere that I would like to recover. I already went through the duplicate songs and that didn't help. Any suggestions would be great...
hp pc m260n Windows XP media centerI have a feeling there are music files in my folders that are not linked to iTunes but can't figure out how to import them without going through all 8800+ files. Is there an easy way to import all the files without losing the current playcounts
AFIK there isn't an easy way of linking up to a lot of dead tracks and retaining play counts etc, except by finding the dead tracks and repairing each link individually. The only exception to this is if there is a simple error in the path that can be fixed by a search and replace on the xml library file, then rebuilding the library. However it doesn't sound as though that would be a solution for you.
This MacMuse tip has a way of finding dead tracks if that helps.

It is much simpler to sacrifice the playcount information and just reimport your iTunes Music folder. Then you can eliminate the dead tracks with a script. One of the forum members has written one that you can find here:
