Lock a sequence in teststand from opening

Is there any possibility that a sequence created can be locked from opening like locking a LabVIEW vi from opening.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can lock a sequence as not viewable. Is that what you mean? It will still be openable, but will require a password to view the contents.
Look on the advanced tab of the sequence file properties dialog. You should see a password setting section. You can lock it as not viewable or not editable.

Unidentified Locked File Prevents PS CS6 From Opening

Photoshop CS6 (64 bit/ Windows 7) installed and ran perfectly. On second and subsequent runs, I get the Windows message "Could not open a scratch file becausethe file is locked, you do not have nevessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in Windows explorer to unlock the file." The message does not specify which file is locked or by whom.I run as administrator, and this is the first program I run - only system programs should be running in the background. Tried PCMag TaskPower, which supposedly provides a list of all locked files and allows you to force an unlock, but could not ID any possible culprits.

Many people try to relocate things off of C: in an attempt to use a too-small SSD, or sometimes to reduce the write load on an SSD.
Photoshop does NOT work well in this condition.
I don't know why, but I *DO* know I've seen quite a number of reports here by people who must run it As Administrator that say it does not like relocated folders.
Other things besides Photoshop don't work as well with this kind of activity either. Basically you're banking on every programmer always following all the rules to retrieve the folder locations, and doing all the right things - rather than hard-coding paths. And why use the super-fast SSD technology if you're going to move all the stuff that actually gets accessed off onto another (spinning) disk? It seems silly.
Fundamental advice:
1. If you're going to build a system using SSD, don't skimp. Overprovision a huge amount of extra storage for drive C:. You can do this with a very large SSD or an array of SSDs. Then you need not worry about relocating things that just work better if left in their default locations on drive C:.
2. If you're worried over the write load on your SSD, know that modern SSDs (within the last year) have implemented significant advances in flash write balancing so that this is essentially a non-issue. Pretty much any modern SSD should run for 10 years under normal use (i.e., without special settings or backflips to relocate data).
As proof of the above advice, on my Windows 7 system I have personally configured a large SSD RAID array as a 2 TB drive C:, allowing everything to be at the default locations, and all is well indeed. I even have Photoshop's scratch files on C:, and to be honest I can hardly tell when the RAM fills and Photoshop begins heavily accessing its scratch files.

Need to access TestStand Sequence Step Parameters from Excel Macro

Trying to create an EXCEL spreadsheet containing a list of all steps in a TestStand Sequence including Parameter names and types. How can I access the parameter names and types from EXCEL Visual Basic? It seems the API provides access to sequence parameters, but not step parameters.

mmghost,
Unfortunately, in TestStand 2.0, it is not possible to access the step parameter information.
In TestStand 3.0, there are a few more APIs exposed that give you access to the step parameters. In TestStand 3.0, these are the steps you would take to get that information:
1) Get a hold of the step object of interest. There are many ways to do this. For instance, starting with the Sequence Context you can get the Sequence object, and then get a step object from the sequence.
2) From the Step object, get the Module object.
3) At this point, you need to cast the Module object to the specific adapater type module you are using. For this example, we will assume that we are using the CVI adapter, so we would cast the Module object to a CVIModule o
bject.
4) The CVIModule object contains a Parameters collection of type CVIParameters, which contains the type information.
For different adapter types you would just cast the Module object to a different specific module (LabVIEWModule, ActiveXModule, etc).

"uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version" error message when opening a *.doc file with Word already running

Several customers running different versions of Office 2011 (14.4.1-14.4.5) on OSX varying from 10.7.5 to 10.9.5, running on various kinds of hardware (iMac/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air) of various ages are having issues opening *.doc files if the Word is already open. The error message that gets displayed is, "XXXX.doc uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version"
When the customer tries to open the same file via File-Open, she gets "The file is locked for editing. you can open the file as read-only".
When trying to do so, she gets "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters".
If Word gets Force-quit, the same document opens without any problems.
1. Repairing Disk permissions was ran several times. and the volume was found to be OK.
2. I have noticed that in this scenario either deleting the normal.dotm or com.microsoft.word.plist (~/Library/Preferences) sometimes resolves the issue, sometimes it doesn’t. There is no pattern to follow. All versions of Office are affected, the fully updated and the non-updated ones.
3. I have tried completely removing the suite using Office 2011 Uninstall.app and/or Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg, then going through customer's library and manually removing all the Office references.
4. None of these systems had Office 2008 in the past.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Reboot both the Mac and the server. Word opens .DOC files and Excel opens .XLS files. As you have found out by copying the files to the computer. It is the connection between the 2 computer that is causing the error.

Sequence (nested) will not open in timeline... help!

As a disclaimer, I am a self-taught FCP user. I am in the final stages of finishing up a 53 minute documentary from footage I shot in Haiti right after the quake.
So, I don't know whether it is an, +advised way+ of working, or not, but in my project I am using +nested sequences+ for each of the longer scenes in my project.
That way I can easily move around the main scenes on the main projects timeline. For the smaller scenes and cutaway connectors, I add those clips directly onto the main Sequences timeline.
So up until now, when I am an working on the main project in the main sequence on the timeline, if I want to work on one of the scenes (sequences) nested within, I double click the nested sequence on the timeline, and it then opens in the timeline itself, in a tab.
Suddenly, one of my scene sequences will no longer open in the timeline (tab), and only appears in the viewer window. So, I can no longer edit it!
Can anyone tell me how I can repair this?
I really need help...
(Btw, it is approx. 9pm now eastern time, and I have to run out, but wanted to post this before I did.
So, if I do not respond back for a while, please forgive me...)

Thanks a lot for the reply Tom,
I am extremely worried about somehow making it worse, like FCP not working at all.
As you are the only responder to my problem, I am even more concerned. Is my problem common?

Prevent pop ups from opening in safari

Despite I prevented pop ups from opening in Safari in preferences; they still keep popping up. I installed two add block extensions but in-vain.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
Leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the word something is exactly the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified these three files, back up all data, then drag the three files you found to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
(where something is the same word as before), drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually another folder, though it has a different icon. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

I accidentally locked my desktop folders , unable to open them Ho two unlock the folders

I accidentally locked my desktop folders , unable to open them Ho two unlock the folders

You have done something which change the permissions and your user is not able to access anymore. You can play around and try to correct permissions manually by going to your home folder, right click on the Desktop folder and choose get info and when new window will be open, at the bottom of it, check if your username is listed and if has Read & Write permissions.
Other option is to boot to recovery mode (after starting up your computer press and hold CMD+R), then from top panel click on Utilities and choose Terminal. Once terminal is open, type in it resetpassword and when new window will be open, select Macintosh HD as your system drive, select your password and click on the RESET button which is next to "Reset home folder permissions and ACL". NOTE: do not reset your password, you don't have to.
Second options would be better in case if permissions on other folders been changed too.

Updating Locals in TestStand from C#

Hi,
I want to update a variable in TestStand from C#.
I have problems with synchronization, after updating the variable in C# and reading back the variable, it seems to work in Visual Studio.
But the variable is not updated in the GUI of TestStand, only if the test is stopped in TestStand, de variable gets updated.
I have changed TestStandDialog example to show this behavior, attached TestStandDialog1.
If the demo sequence is executed in TestStand, all tests will fail, if the execution is stopped then the local variable strTextBox gets updated!
If you step through the code in Visual Studio it seems to be that it is possible to set a variable and to read back, but the TestStand GUI is not updated.
string strVarNameTextBox = "Locals.strTextBox"; // Update the TestStand variable 'Locals.strTextBox'm_propertyObject.SetValString(strVarNameTextBox, 0, strTest);
// Readback the content of TestStand variable 'Locals.strTextBox' string strContentVariable = m_propertyObject.GetValString(strVarNameTextBox, 0); // Check the value of the TestStand variable if (strContentVariable != strTest) {MessageBox.Show("Problem detected"); }
Does someone now what the reason is for this behavior?
Best regards

Hi Doug,
I am setting the runtime copy of the variables.
If I understand you correctly, there is no additonal action needed for the runtime locals, but my sequence still fails?
I want to change locals from C#, what do you recommend, do I have to use the runtime copy or the edit time copy of the locals?

Corrupt audio file prevents me from opening Logic project file

Hello,
I've been running Logic 8 for a couple years off my MacBook and have never encountered any significant problems of file corruption until recently.
The issue I encountered is this:
I've been producing a lengthy track in an on-going Logic project file for some time and after completing a recording session I saved and started deleting excess track copies to clean up my arrange window. Upon doing so Logic unexpectedly crashed.
After attempting to reopen the project file, it started its normal process of loading its respective audio files, but now it hangs on one particular audio file indefinitely (I'll refer to it as 'audio file x' for ease of reference), freezing and crashing Logic as a result. All of this project file's auto backup files are also incapable of being opened without giving me the same result and crashing Logic.
I have no way of opening this project file and getting at my most recent saved sequence!
I've tried removing this corrupt 'audio file x' from the project's audio folder and dragging it to the desktop, but this had no effect and I still can't open any recent version of the project file.
Older saved copies of the current project file do still open though (most likely because they were saved prior to the corruption caused by this suspect 'audio file x.') When opening an earlier iteration of the project, I get a message '1 invalid audio region found' (I assume referring to the corrupt suspect 'audio file x' that I removed to the desktop) but the project file is still able to open.
I realize I could import the audio files from the most recent version of the crashed file to an older project version and reconstruct things back to the way they were, but it would take me a lot of time and I'm hoping there may be some way to recover the un-openable project file by getting it to stop looking for this corrupted 'audio file x' on startup.
When I click 'show package contents' of the Logic Project file, I notice two items labeled 'displayState' and 'documentData.' From my troubleshooting I've come to the basic understanding that the 'documentData' file contains all the sequence data and settings for its respective Logic Project file.
I think the 'document data' of the unopenable project file in question may be corrupt because whenever I replace it with the 'document data' from an earlier Project file version, the file is able to open. This doesn't do me much good though, because it's document data from an earlier iteration of the project and I need to be able to get at the current sequence I had right before my file crashed.
Is there anyway to open a project file without letting it load its audio files? Or is there anyway I could get inside the 'document data' file to delete the reference/pathway in its audio bin to the corrupt 'audio file x' its hanging on?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping there's some way I won't have to repeat a couple days worth of work. Thanks for your help!

After further troubleshooting I've realized that the suspicious audio file that prevents the project file from opening is actually not corrupted itself. I can still play the audio file in other media software like Quicktime, etc. with no problem.
This leads me to believe the problem opening the project file lies solely with the corrupted 'documentData' file.
Does anyone have any ideas about how I could somehow open this project file and delete the reference of the troublesome audio file from the project's audio bin?
Well... it really sounds like the project itself is corrupted, that's one of the reasons all project files won't load from a certain point on.
Try this.
Reboot the Mac.
Open the Applications folder and boot Logic from it's icon.
As soon as the Logic Logo/graphic window appears on the screen hold down the control key. You will see a message pop up that says something like "Launch the Core Audio Driver" there will be yes/no choice available... select NO.
Go to the File menu and selct "open" go find your project file and see if it will open. If it does.. delete the audio file in question... however.. I would also look at any plugins you recently installed and are possibly using in this project...this sounds more like a plugin problem rather than an audio file problem, but that's just a gut feeling.
Anyway, if it opens delete whatever you suspect and save under a different name.
Reboot Logic and see if it can load the project.

Outlook Integration add in prevents outlook from opening

Hi All,
When the outlook integration executable (BO_SyncExt.exe) is running it prevents outlook from opening. Outlook just sits there saying loading user profile all the time. When the process is killed via task manager outlook opens. The issue seems to be intermittent, we've tried the usual uninstalling, re-installing, rebuilding the machine etc. it didn't work.
The problem doesn't happen on machines using office 2003 or 2007, only on Office 2010 (32 bit).
SAP version 8.8 PL20.
Any ideas what this might be?
Many Thanks,
Matt

Hi Jimmy,
it is 32-bit MS Office, I have had this issue both on 8.82 PL05 (Windows 7 32-bit) and PL07 (Win2008 R2 server 64-bit).
The Outlook Integration log shows some strange entries without error description:
2012-07-23 15:24:30 E CBO_AddIn::OnConnection ERROR: **************************************************************************
2012-07-23 16:36:01 E CBO_AddIn::OnConnection ERROR: **************************************************************************

2012-07-23 18:23:27 E CBO_AddIn::OnConnection ERROR: **************************************************************************
After this error (Exception in closing the Outlook...) I assume that the Outlook.exe hangs, therefore when opening Excel, I get an error message like 'Failed to open log file', so probably the hung Outlook.exe locks the log file. Of course opening Outlook isn't possible in that status.
After closing the process Outlook.exe, I can start Outlook again and Excel doesn't throw any error message. Nevertheless I tried also to run BO_SyncExt.exe in compatibility mode, I will observe this issue now.
Thanks

How can I stop my Firefox browser from preventing Click Earner, a program that opens email ads on safelists, from opening the URL's in the email ads?

Hello fellow-users of Mozilla Firefox,
I send email ads using 20 different safelists every day. To get credits for sending those ads I click email ads sent by other subscribers.
Since early this year I've been using Click Earner -- http://www.clickearner.net/ -- to help speed up this task. Click Earner "fetched"
the emails from each safelist and opened each URL advertised in each email. This was a very quick job and all I did was close each tab
displaying the URL. Credits for clicking the URL were added to my safelists accounts.
Since a week ago, without me doing anything at all, my Click Earner stopped opening the emails automatically as was the case for
several months since I started using it. Click Earner support claimed Firefox prevented the program from opening the URL in a new tab each time it fetched an email ad. True enough, yesterday when I watched Click Earner in action I saw a pop-up from Firefox saying something like "Firefox prevented..." I couldn't read the rest as the pop-up disappeared immediately. And that was the only
time I saw it.
Right now I have to open each URL manually to see the ad and earn credits. This is a very slow process, just the same as when I open the emails in my gmail account. It's useless for me to subscribe to Click Earner. And it takes forever for me to earn credits from all the safelists.
I'd appreciate it very much if any one of you folks would help me overcome this glitch. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you very much in anticipation.
Regards,
Tom Graciano

You could try turning off Firefox's pop-up blocker.
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
There you will find a checkbox for "Block pop-up windows". Assuming it's checked, uncheck it.
Does that return to the behavior you want?
