Modulating the width of the P70530 stepper drive output pulses

I'm using a NI-PCI-7332 controller with a UMI-7772 and a P70530 drive to qualify a stepper motor (using LabVIEW 8.5). One of the test to perform is to lower the drive amplitude level until the motor stall.
I'm controlling the drive input supply by GPIB (using an HP6032A system supply) but the problem is that the amplitude at wich the motor stall might be below the 20V specified lower limit of the P70530 (the motor lower drive value is specified at 23V).
Using my actual hardware would there be a way to modulate the width of the drive pulses to the motor to get a lower RMS output (and will it work)? If not, do somebody has any suggestion of the hardware to use to perform this task?
Thanks,
Ben

Hello ben64,
You should use the software (via GPIB) to lower the drive’s current output to the motor. You can do this in real-time while the motor is running.
However, if you decrease the power supply to the drive you may not get the point where the motor stalls but rather the point at which the drive fails/browns out/chokes.
I hope this helps you out

How to make a JPanel containing buttons take up the width of the window?

I'm creating a GUI and I have a button group that I want to be the width of the window. I have another JPanel on the same window that doesn't have a button group in it and it takes up the width of the window. I don't think I'm doing anything differently creating the two, but I need consistency.
The best way I can explain this is with code, so I created an example of what I am doing here:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class test extends JFrame {
     public test() {
          JPanel win = new JPanel();
          JPanel buttonsPanel = new JPanel();
          JPanel statusPanel = new JPanel();
          win.setLayout(new BoxLayout(win, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
          buttonsPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(buttonsPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
          statusPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(statusPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
//          createRadioButtonsPanel
          ButtonGroup buttons = new ButtonGroup();
          JRadioButton currentMap = new JRadioButton("option1", true);
          JRadioButton newMap = new JRadioButton("option2");
          JRadioButton noMap = new JRadioButton("option3");
          buttons.add(currentMap);
          buttons.add(newMap);
          buttons.add(noMap);
          buttonsPanel.add(currentMap);
          buttonsPanel.add(newMap);
          buttonsPanel.add(noMap);
          buttonsPanel.setBorder(
                    BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Create: "));
//           createStatusPanel
          JLabel statusLabel = new JLabel("Loading...");
          statusLabel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLoweredBevelBorder());
          statusLabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400,20));
          statusLabel.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(400,20));
          statusLabel.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(400,20));
          statusPanel.add(statusLabel);
          JPanel statusButtons = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.RIGHT));
          JButton pauseSearch = new JButton("Pause");
          JButton cancelSearch = new JButton("Cancel");
          statusButtons.add(pauseSearch);
          statusButtons.add(cancelSearch);
          statusPanel.add(statusButtons);
          statusPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Status: "));
          win.add(buttonsPanel);
          win.add(statusPanel);
          getContentPane().add(win);
          pack();
          setVisible(true);
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          test s = new test();
}When I compile and run this class I get this window:
http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/1538/exampleek5.png
You see how on the bottom, "Status" JPanel takes up the entire width of the window? When the window is resized, the border is also resized. I would love to have the top "Create" JPanel have the same behavior. How do I do this?
Thanks in advance!

It can get confusing when using the BoxLayout. The box layout takes into consideration the X alignment of the components as well as the minimum and maximum lengths.
So I suggest you read the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/box.html]How to Use Box Layout for examples and explanations on how these values are used in the layout process.
It may be easier to use a BorderLayout for the high level layout manger, since it will resize a components width when added to the NORTH, CENTER or SOUTH.

Allow the user to control the width of the edit forum post input box

I would like to control the width of of the edit-forum post input box. This could be:
automatically adjust the width of the box so that the box doesn't run off the right edge of the window.
have a user global preference to set the preferred width
at least, allow the user to change the width via the change size icon. The three horizontal bars at the lower left of the input box. You can adjust the vertical dimension, but not the horizontal. TenFourFox 4.0.1. This is probably being blocked for some obscure reason.
Here is an example of an over extended right margin:
Curiously enough, the "software" let's me adjust the width & height of the add reason to edit text, but not adjust the width of the more important edit text box.
Robert

Testing
Standard Reply box can be height adjusted but not width.
Same with Advanced Editor
No Adjustment at all in HTL Editor
Edit.
The Edit uses the Advanced Editor
Only Height Adjustment again.
I do seem to remember someone posting about the width and saying they could drag it over the edge of the right hand edge (Into the grey surround)
This may have been a post in the lounge.
It didn't actually try it at the time but have played with it since and have not seen it.
Maybe it is something they "Fixed" in both senses of the word.
Second edit.
I can't alter the box that currently reads "Message Edited by:- ..."
I also can't get this box to accept New lines (they appear in the box but don't post that way)

EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9.

EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9. This issue occurs for some users only.I tried the same url in google chrome and is working fine.
Can you please help.
Please find the attached screenshot.

Hi BJ1986,
According to your description, I think this issue is caused by the IE browser that runs the report. To trouble shoot this issue, I suggest that we can try to clear internet temporary files, cookies and others in IE browser. And also add this site
as a trusted site in IE browser to check this issue again.
If this issue is still existed, it can also be occurred due to the setting or third party add-ons of Internet Explorer (IE). In this scenario, you can try to run IE in compatibility mode to check the issue again. Or I suggest that you can refer to the
steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
Click Tools -> Internet options.
Switch to the Security tab, click Local intranet, and then select Default level.
Switch to the Advanced tab, and click Restore advanced settings.
Temporarily disable third party add-ons. For detailed steps, please see the link below:

Hi;
I´m working with the Z smartform of "YBAA_SDINV", my problem is the next:
a) The width of the "TABLEITEM" node had a 31.09cm,
b) then i reduced the size of the "TABLEITEM" window and activate the smartform, not warning about problem size was displayed
c) i go to tcode VF03 to preview the invoice but it does´nt display it
d) i return to the Z smartform a modify to original size and activate, go to VF03 to preview and it doesn´t display it
c) i change manually the size of the width of th table to 28cm, activate and get error size message
d) i close the smartform with out saving
e) i return the width of th table to 31.09cm an now when i see the DETAILS of the TABLEITEM all the sizes are gone for all the defined lines
IT_GEN3 => this is the line i´ve defined to display data in the invoice, and is the only one with numbers in the columns
HD_GEN
IT_GEN
IT_DESC
IT_GEN2
IT_CUSTMAT
How can i make to display again the content of the line...?
Thanlas on advance

If you use a baseline grid and space before/after your spaces must by necessity equal the leading (using the align to grid option will force them to the grid, regardless of the chosen size). The grid should match the leading of your body copy.
If you have headings that you want space before and after, don't align them to the grid, but make sure that the total of the space before, after, and leading for the style add up to a multiple of the body text leading. That will work smoothly everywhere except at the top of a column, where the space before is ignored, and will be added to the space below by virtue of the align to grid on the body copy.
If instead of having all the copy lign to the grid you just want the top and bottom lines flush, and you want the leading within the paragraphs constant, but a variable space between paragraphs, set the text frame to vertically justified, then set the maximum spacing between paragraphs to a ridiculously large number and all of the extra space required to fill the column will be split between the paragraphs.

REQ: Add 'Fit-width' or 'Fit-visible' view mode, in which the zoom level is automatically set based on the width of the _current_ page.

Currently, the default zoom level when viewing a page of a PDF file is automatically calculated based on the width of the "widest" page of the document. This means that, if the document contains one page that is wider than the others or is in landscape orientation, then the default zoom, when viewing all the other narrower pages, is set in a way so that the page does not use the full width of the screen. This results in very poor experience, because the zoom level and the visible area of the page have to be constantly adjusted for each page. The latest update (at the time of writing) has added some extra view modes, but not the much needed 'Fit width' or 'Fit visible'.
Personally, I can find no reason valid enough to justify the lack of such a view mode. Automatically setting the zoom level based on the width of the current page so as to take advantage of the full width of the screen should be a must have feature for mobile devices, if not the default behavior. The current default behavior regarding the zoom level is pretty much useless, even on 8"/10" screens. There should be a view mode in which the full width of the screen is always used to display the document.
Examples of documents for which the Adobe Reader for Android provides a poor reading experience are:
documents which contain some of their pages in landscape orientation.
publications which, apart from the main content, also contain the full front and back cover in a single page (usually first page which is much wider than the content pages) or any other extra pages like cards or application forms (that are meant to be printed) which usually use an A4/Letter page size etc.
documents which have been cropped by external utilities or scripts so as to eliminate unneeded white margins (in some cases not all pages have the same width).
Please consider fixing the default behavior in future releases of the Reader for Android or add a 'Fit width' or 'Fit visible' view mode.
Thank you in advance.

Improved descriptions of example documents.

To add to this, if you prefer you can separate your JavaScript from your JSF pages.
Add a folder (I named mine 'js') to your application's ViewController project's public_html folder.
Via JDeveloper, create a new JavaScript file inside your newly created folder and place your JavaScript functions inside it.
You can then 'load' the .js file using the method Shantala described, with the addition of an added 'source' property to the af:reference tag.
(This can also be a URI reference to a JavaScript file hosted on a web server)
<f:facet name="metaContainer">
<af:resource source="/js/myJsFile.js" type="javascript"/>
</f:facet>The benefits of this 'split' are cleaner JSF page source and also code-highlighting and formatting within the .js file making finding and fixing bugs in your JavaScript much easier.
It appears however, that when using <af:resource> to load scripts, once the page has been submitted even once, the JavaScript is no longer available to the page. Which isn't very useful.
A solution is to use <trh:script>.
Add xmlns:trh="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/html" to your <jsp:root> tag and install the library.
then in place of the above code use:
<f:facet name="metaContainer">
<trh:script id="script1" source="/js/myJsFile.js"/>
</f:facet>Now after a page submit the JavaScript still functions.

How can I enlarge only the width of the submenus in my spry horizontal menu bar?

The text in my submenus is hanging off the menu itself, but I
can't change the size of the parent menus. The submenus can be
wider than the parent menus, that's fine. That's what I what,
actually.
I've tried for two days now to figure this out and I'm really
stuck and would appreciate any input.
Thank you!

Please stop posting the same question in multiple threads. It

How to change the width of the whole portlet layout?

Dear all,
As we know, now the width of portlet layout has set to 100%. But there is a new requirment from my customer that the width of the whole portlet layout view must be set to 750px.
So I tried to edit the css file and I found a block:
#pt-portal-content-view
     margin-top: 0px;
     width: 100%;
I tried to change the width to 750px, but nothing happened.
I want to know the way to change the width, thank you all!
Regards,
finall
OK,I have found the place to do it:
.portalContent          {
     display: block;
     width: 750px;
I set to 750px,then it works.:-)
But another question, how to make the content align to the center? I tried a stupid method, add margin-left:
.portalContent          {
     display: block;
     width: 750px;
     margin-left: 120px;
In 1024 X 768, it's ok, but it don't work well in 800 X 600.
When I set the all content width to 750px, I tried the three columns view, the portlet still run over the border.If there is any way to control this? thank u in advance!
Regards,
finall
Edited by finall1980 at 02/01/2007 10:09 PM

Try this:
.portalContent {
display: block;
width: 750px;
margin: auto; /* for properly-implemented browsers */
text-align: center; /* for IE 6 */
As for running over the 750px, there's nothing you can do about that other than actually narrowing the columns AND making sure that your portlet authors don't produce content that's too wide.

Problem while changing the width of the Indesign document through inx.

Hi Guys,
I am facing a problem related to the width of InDesign documents. Description of the problem is as follows:-
I have created an InDesign document with height = 700 and width = 500 and export this as an inx file (lets say Doc1.inx).
As "Doc1.inx" is just an xml file I have made certain changes to the height and width fields of the dcoument in it. (Height =900 and Width = 600)
For Height changes are made under following tags :- <docu>
                                                                               <docp>
                                                                                 phgt = "U_900" ;
For Width changes are made under tags :- <docu>
                                                                <docp>
                                                                  pwdt = "U_600";
Now when I opened the modified "Doc1.inx" file with InDesign the modifications for height are correctly reflected, but the width of the column doesn't gets changed. Please open the attachments to see the difference.
Attachment contains the snap shots of documents created at step 1(Initial_Doc1.indd) and step 3(Modified_Doc1.indd).
What should be the modifications we have to do in inx file to reflect the correct modified width of the document. Also is there any document or article which gives the correct understanding of the tags used in inx files.
Any help will be appreciable.

I'm having troubles getting any sensible values at all using CS -- on the other hand, you forgot to mention your version, so I figgered I could try.
(Just as an example, setting width & height to 600 pt and 900 pt -- you don't mention your units of measure either, is it meters? inches? -- I get "phgt="u_408c2000~0" pwdt="u_4082c000~0"", which doesn't make sense. Cicero's!? [*])
But further below, I can see some definitions for columns: count (colc="l_1") and some measurements in that same system, which I suspect to be the width and height you are looking for. You switch between describing you succesfully changed the width and height of the document, and complaining the column does not change. Apparently, the column width is defined in itself, rather than using the "document marges" you are used to in the interface itself.
[*] On second look, I can see more hexadecimal digits in other 'numbers'. It must be hexadecimally encoded IEEE floating point numbers -- "408c2000" decodes to 4.378906, and 4082c000 to 4.085938 -- both valid floating point numbers, but still I wouldn't know in what system.
I hope your version uses regular decimal notation!

How to increase the width of the drop down list box in SSRS multi value parameter

Hi,
I am using SSRS 2012. I have a parameter, which accepts multi value.
The width of the drop down list box is very small, and the user need to scroll to the right to view the complete view of the content in the list box. But, if I don't use multi value then the length is good. Kindly suggest how to I increase the width
of the list box when it set to multi value parameter.
Thanks in advance,
Mahalengam Arumugam

Hi Mahalengam,
After testing the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it. When the values for a single parameter are too long, the drop-down list of the parameter will automatically enlarge to an appropriate size. While the values for a multiple parameter are
too long, we need to scroll to the right to view the complete view of the content in the list box in SSRS 2008. But in SSRS 2008R2 and SSRS 2012, we can directly drag the black control at the bottom of the list box to control the size.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Hi Katherine,
Thanks for your reply. I understood we need to drag the list box to a maximum size to view the contents.
But, this seems an additional task, i know this is a limitation in the current version of SSRS and hope it will be resolved in the next versions.
Thanks for your efforts,
Mahalengam Arumugam

How do I change the width of the x-scrollbar for a waveform graph?

I have a LV7.1 application that contains a waveform graph and must be usable on several PC with widely varying screen resolutions. I have decided to position and scale the front panel objects programatically, including the graph itself. The appearance of the graph is satisfactory on all screens, except for the x-scrollbar. The width of the x-scrollbar does not change when I change the size of the graph. I cannot figure out how to change the width of the scrollbar programatically to match the adjusted size of the graph. Any suggestions?
Regards,
Chris

Chris,
I don't think that you can change the width of the x axis scroll bar programatically. One thing you could do though is create your own scrollbar and change it's properties as your program runs. I wrote a quick example of how you could do this and I've attached it to this thread.
I hope this helps,

How to change the width of the auto complete drop down list?

Hi,
I implemented an autocomplete mechanism, using ICompletionSession and ICompletionSourceProvider. I have an issue with the size of the drop-down list opened when I use this autocomplete mechanism. The width of the autocomplete list remains the same, even
if the strings displayed change. This is apparent especially when I hit "backspace" on the already typed string, while the drop down list is opened: the deletion of the last character allows for more completion strings to be used, but since the drop
down width does not change, the longer strings appear cut.
Is there a way to force the drop down list to recalculate its width?
Yoel

I don't think there's any way, even VS itself can't do that you know, and the interfaces don't have such kind of events or properties.
