LabVIEW function to detect 32 Bit (X86 Program Files) vs 64 Bit (Program Files) System?

I am looking for a LabVIEW function that detects whether the system is a 32 bit or 64 bit system.  The reason for this is that I need to change our file paths to draw from either the X86 Program Files folder or the Program Files folder, I'd rather do this programatically so as not having to do it manually each time.
Thanks.

Use "Application Directory" for relative paths from your EXE in "Program Files".
Otherwise, use "Get System Directory.vi" and select "Application Files" as option.

    Open Disk Utility and see if the USB drives show in there. If they don't then it is a USB port or bus problem. If they do show in disk utility are they formatted in either Mac extended or a Windows format?

  • How to open labview program with Quit Labview function inside?

    Hi Any idea how to open labview program with  Quit Labview function inside?
    I forgot to add and set the condition of the type for this program.
    If the program is an application, it would close straight away.
    If it is still labview work, it will go straight to editing program without closing.
    So I need to recover, open it and make some changes.

    Put the VI in a project and open it from there, then it shouldn't autorun. You can use App.kind property of application to decide whether to close or not.

    After installing iTunes on 64 bit Windows 8 systems iTunes will not run. I've tried to install 32 bit, but I'm told to install 64 bit version (64 bit version installs to x86 folder). iTuns will not run even if I attach iPod.

  • Check Focus Of An Image With Standard LABVIEW Functions

    Hi,
    I would like to determine the best focus quality of a series of color images using standard LABVIEW functions, an example my images would be a 1mm x 2mm ROI of a copper coin or similar sample. I do not have the IMAQ vision toolkit so that will not be an option. Could somebody give me an example of this or point me in the direction I need to go. Is it better to check focus quality on the color image or a black and white image, or perhaps an intensity representation of the image? I have heard that checking the Standard Deviation of a line of pixels within the image would give a good indication of the focus quality by looking for the highest SD value of all the images?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Solved!

    Hi Jimmy01,
    I found this example which shows a couple ways to determine the best focus for your system: http://www.ni.com/example/28506/en/
    I also found this example, although it uses the IMAQdx drivers.  So you'll have to modify it a bit to work with the IMAQ drivers, but it's doable: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-11090
    It looks like these examples detect the best focus by measuring the sharpness of the edges.  A stronger edge means the camera is more in focus.  This is also what I was thinking before I found these.  I haven't been able to find anything about using the standard deviation of line pixels, as you mentioned.

  • How to configure the zxp so that it will place the related files for the panel in specific folder other than the usual 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files \Adobe\CEPServiceManager4\extensions\' folder ?

    Hi,
    I am Working on a panel for Adobe Premiere pro CC, Now we got a panel set up which will install all the related folders and files which are part of the Extension content folder in the
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files \Adobe\CEPServiceManager4\extensions \Panel\CONFIG folder. But we need to change this location to C:\Users\USER\APPDATA folder or any other user specified folder during installation itself.
    Is there any way to do this from extension builder?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Anoop NR

    Thanks guys,
    Got it !! Hybrid extensions.
    I am using Adobe Extension builder 3 in Eclipse to code and create the zxp for Premiere pro panel.
    Seeing the hybrid extension part in  HTML Panels Tips: #10 Packaging / ZXP Installers | Photoshop, etc. I have added a hybrid extension panel using the bundle manifest editor in the extension builder. it creates an mxi file automatically with all the properties, I have to change the maximum host version number in the mxi file in order to make the extension work in the Premiere pro CC 2014. Using the Hybrid option in the Bundle manifest editor we can choose a set of folder paths for placing the files during installation itself and later can be used using 'csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.CODE)' from javascript functions to modify them.
    Thanks for your relpies,

    Hi N4KSS,
    Can you try to repair the LabVIEW installation and see if this helps to resolve the issue? Here is a KB titled "How can I Repair my LabVIEW Installation?" that describes the process.
    Also, is the installation being performed from a LabVIEW 2010 CD or from a downloaded installation?

    Looks like a lame attempt to "bump" the thread.
    Adding a (nearly) empty message places the thread back on top of the list, in the false assumption that this would generate more replies.
    Well, he's partially correct, because it added the last three posts (which of course have nothing to do with the problem at hand), but it did not increase the "real" answers.
    Bumping a thread is disruptive and generally a bad idea, because it adds a lot of noise to the forum. Imagine everybody would do it! There would be so much elbowing for the top spot that all substance would be lost in the chatter.
    In the NI forums, bumping a thread is very counterproductive, because blue contributions (from NI) will typically (and hopefully!) wait until the thread is idle for a while.
    Overall, it is a bad idea!

  • Trying to install iTunes 10.7 fails - "The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\common\files\apple\MobileDeviceSupport\Sync Services\....\Windows

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Is there a function of Offset (like a CAD program) in the tools of paths?

    Is there a function of Offset (like a CAD program) in the tools of paths?

    There's no Offset in the same way that the Autocad tool works, mainly because we are working in pixels and not strictly in a linear scale, although I agree it would be useful.
    You can get a reasonable workaround with lines perpendicular to the image edges, by using the 'New Guide Layout' tool that was introduced with CC 2014.2.2  (I think).  Or by using the GuideGuide extension panel.  It would take a bit of working out though.
    I remember that I Offset as being one of my most used tools with Autocad, but usually together with a constantly changed UCS zero point.  You can do that by re-zeroing the Grid to your guides (snap will keep things spot on), and use the grid to position other guides.
    But it still comes down to horses for courses.  Illustrator handles guides and lines much better than Photoshop, and Autocad is an order of magnitude better still.  (And a site easier to use than when I started having to enter every coordinate via a command line!!!).  The tight wads did eventually get me a proper puck and tablet, but it felt like cheating ;-) .

  • I would like to read a text file in which the decimal numbers are using dots instead of commas. Is there a way of converting this in labVIEW, or how can I get the program to enterpret the figures in the correct way?

    The program doest enterpret my figures from the text file in the correct way since the numbers contain dots instead of commas. Is there a way to fix this in labVIEW, or do I have to change the files before reading them in the program? Thanks beforehend!

    You must go in the labview option menu, you can select 'use the local
    separator' in the front side submenu (LV6i).
    If you use the "From Exponential/Fract/Eng" vi, you are able to select this
    opton (with a boolean) without changing the labview parameters.
