Multi-State Indicators?

I am wanting to run a Pass/Fail test on some measurement values I am
taking using LabView and then compare the measured value with the
accepted Max and Min values (I have created a subVI to accept the
measurement and then compare to the accepted range). Currently, I am
using a Boolean indicator (red for Fail and green for Pass). However,
when the VI begins, the Boolean LED is red, thus making it confusing to
interpret if the test sequence has begun, or if the measurement value
failed.
Is it possible to use a multi-state indicator for this (e.g. 0 = init.,
1 = fail, 2 = pass, etc.)? I also thought about having the LED not
visible until the test runs, then displaying the red or green.
Hopefully I explained this properly. Thanks.

You need to create a property node. Right click on the indicator or the terminal and select Create>>Property Node. You can either use the Visible property or the BGColor property to change the color of the LED.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with and here are some tutorial videos. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).
Try to take over the world!

Is there a way to create a multi-state button or have a pict ring behave like boolean?

Does someone know of a way to make a multi-state button say (function one, function two,function three, off) or implement boolean-like behavior for a pict ring? I want to be able to cycle through the states without a menu popping up for all possible values. So when I press this button or ring it will go from state-1, to state-2, to state-3 etc.

Place a transparent button over a ring. On button value change events,
or via polling, increment the ring indicator. Better yet, put the value
in a shift register that gets incremented and displayed in the ring
indicator.

ID 5.5 Interact. PDF, cannot remove white background for Multi-States and buttons.

Hi
I am working on an Interactive PDF Portfolio document. The problem I have is with Multi-State object feature with several buttons going to states that need to be exported as a SWF and imported back into InDesign 5.5. See, the background of my entire doc. is GREY, but when I import the SWF (as directed in Lynda.com videos correctly) and export the entire doc as Interactive PDF and view it in Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 10.1.1) is when all the trouble starts.
When I try to get rid of the WHITE background around the Multi-State objects and the buttons for them (using Select Object Tool and then control+click on it to change the Properties to Transparent Background Appearance) it does not change, even when I go forward and backward to the page.
Does the option of removing white background and making it transparent work only for Animation, but not Multi-State feature with buttons?
Can anyone suggest any other tecnique to create a nice slide show that works in Interactive PDF in ID CS5.5? Please..
Sincerely,
in need of help,
Eve

I have 8 Multi-State objects in one stack on the left and the 8 buttons for each state in the stack on the right. The background of my document is dark grey. There is space inbetween Multi-State objects and the buttons that show the grey background. But after exporting as SWF the Multi-States together with the buttons and placing the SWF back in the PDF file, the space inbetween Multi-States and buttons that is supposed to show the grey background appears white. The problem is that I cannot even change this white background to transparent in Acrobat Pro, as well. I used to do that to animations and it worked, but not in this case.

Is there a maximum number of "multi state objects" per article? Indesign keeps crashing

Hi, i have 12 multi state objects on a page, and indesign keeps crashing.
i know this seems like a high number, but I have done this to create a work around - ticker (like an old style airport board e.g. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=airport+board&espv=2&biw=1306&bih=653&source=lnms&tbm=is ch&sa=X&ei=TkYUVb3ZJIb0PJ7DgZg… each set of 3 creating one graphic e.g. 3.35
After creating these Indesign keeps crashing when i try to preview?
Any advice would be appreciated.

It sounds like you're running in to a memory problem: Memory Handling in DPS
That said, usually multiple MSOs on the page don't usually cause memory problems because only the first state of the MSO is loaded into memory. If the first state of each MSO is loading a web overlay displaying ticker information, then that's the most likely culprit. Consider redesigning the page so that only a few tickers are loaded into memory and the user needs to tap to reveal additional tickers.

Can I assign the text in a multi-state object?

I want to assign InCopy files to the captions that are part of a slideshow, but I can't seem to create assignments for the text boxes that are in a multi-state object. Is this possible?

Currently there is no capability to add text frames withing an MSO to an InCopy assignment. There is limited support for this edit workflow when using solutions such as WoodWing or K4. Please make sure to fill out the feature request form: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform so that we can capture the demand for this function.

My multi-state object disappear's when I export to PDF but works in Preview mode?

I created a multi-state object which is a series of logos that appear when a button is clicked. There are two buttons one is set to go the the previous state and one is set to go to the next state. When I view it in the preview mode it works fine but when I export it to PDF nothing happens when I click the buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Multi-state objects are NOT supported in PDF. The PDF standard preceded the development of multi-state objects. It's now under the control of the ISO so may be slow to adapt.
They work when exporting to SWF or with the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.

Hyperlinks in Multi-state object?

I can't find the answer in the Help PDF, maybe because it is maybe even impossible to achieve it... or maybe there is a trick...

Image buttons in multi-state-object

Hello,
I created 3 articles in Indesign for the iPad. The 3 articles come in a liquid format (landscape and portrait) and are all quite picture heavy. Nevertheless, I am very surprised of the folio file size, it's over 500 MB big.
The biggest Indesign file of these 3 articles has 115 MB as there are many statuses (multi-state-objects) (please see screenshots attached). I checked these resources out: Digital Publishing Suite Help | Best practices for creating overlays and Structuring Files for DPS
According to these resources, the images in my 9 big circles should be resampled when I export the folio in PDF format. So by theory the image sizes cannot be the problem here. But what else can be the problem? I can't think of any other issues.
What can I do to reduce the folio size. Please help!

I don't have any web overlays, no. Just normal URL links (In-App-Browser opens). I have 1 video file embedded (nearly 400 MB), so I am well aware of that. But 150 MB for the rest when it's only 3 articles (despite having 2 formats) seems a bit too much to me. I did add the articles to the folio once at a time, yes. And it is the article with the many buttons and MSOs (as seen in the screenshots above) that is so big. This is also the article with the video in it, but still. I have the feeling buttons or the images in the buttons are making the folio so big. I often do app magazines with approx. 15 articles and 3-4 videos embedded (200-300 MB per video!) and that is normally 650 MB or so. So comparing that with my 3 articles makes me wonder.
Do MSOs and buttons make a folio big, is that possible? Or is it the images in the 9 big buttons not being resampled correctly (even though the documentation - 2 links in my original post - say something else). When I export the article, I always export it as PDF and when looking at the loading bar, it says "saving as PNG". So that should mean that all my buttons are resampled, I don't have to worry about image file size and it's exported as PNG in the PDF. Hm...

Multi-state scrollable text frames

I've created a multi-state object with 5 different articles the problem I seem to be having is after scrolling half way down on one and switching to another it remains half way down the scrollable frame. Is there a way to have it return to the top of each state when switching between the states ?

Sorry for the misplacement,
I'm making a portfolio and have 5 separate projects to display, I was hoping to display them on one page with 5 separate buttons allowing the viewer to switch between them seamlessly than to have them on 5 separate pages.
I've got the desired effect thus far using 5 scrollable text frames combined into one multi-state object but switching between states keeps it relative to where the person was in the last state. Due to some articles being smaller vertically than others this can be a problem as it shows up blank which will probably create an impression of the information being non existent or the program not working.
I would appreciate any help on resetting the state to the upper left between changes and not just on the initial opening, or any alternative methods that would create the desired effect.

Button/multi state query

Hello all
I’m encountering a challenge which I believe has been discussed on these forums.
This relates to pixelated, blurry text within buttons and multi-state objects.
One solution to this issue is not using the objects containing text as buttons or multi-state objects. Instead, you insert shapes with no fill/stroke on top of text graphics and then grouping them.
This ensures the text is sharp and clear.
However, if you wish to have a roll over state, with a different fill/stroke/text colour as part of the roll-over state, then this poses problems as the shape serving as a button has to have no fill/stroke or text within them.
Has around a work around for this problem?
Many thanks
H

For clear buttons with click states, the easiest workaround is to place a dummy button over the image and change the stroke and perhaps even add a transparency fill. There is another more complicated workaround as well. For examples and instructions, see DPS Tips > Advanced Overlays > Sharp Buttons.

Multi-State Non-Resident Tax

Hello,
In the case where you have employees who live in one state but who may work in multiple states during a pay period (i.e. traveling sales employees, or consultants) how are you handling the collection of time spent in each state for payroll tax purposes? We have considered using the percentage on the IT208 to prorate the time, and have also discussed using the CAT2 time sheet. I'm looking for how others are handling this. Is anyone willing to share how their company handles captures time for multi-state non-resident taxation?
We can talk off-line if you prefer.
Thank you,
Cheryl

Hi Cheryl,
There is an SAP functionality of Work Tax Area Override which can used from combination of IT2010 (maintaining tax area under Tax area record type field) and processing class 67.
This will charge time entered on IT2010 only to tax on work tax area entered in IT2010 against it and that wage type should be marked for PCL 67 too.
There are changes required to sub-schema UT00 for this to work properly.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Ameet

Slideshow Using Multi-State Objects

Hi,
I created a slideshow in an Indesign document using multi-state objects. The slideshow has foward and backward buttons to navigate the slideshow. The slideshow works fine in Indesign but when I export the document as an intereactive pdf, the slideshow no longers works. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Indesign CS 5.5.
Thank you,
Kristie

What you're doing wrong is expecting it to work. MSOs are for SWF and DPS output only.
The only workaround is doing it in its own file, exporting to SWF and placing that in the PDF.

Multi-State Object Change Speed

How can I adjust the speed and style how the multi-state object changes its states? I find the fade to be too long. Any ways that that can be shortened?

Select the MSO and use the options in the Folio Overlays panel.

DPS HTML to activate multi state object

Is there a way to have an HTML asset placed in a DPS folio, to activate a specific state of a multi state object?

I don't think there is a way to use hyperlinks to change an MSO's state.
Two approaches you might try:
1 - Lose the MSO and create it as an html overlay and use jQuery to create a similar MSO change state experience
2 - Try overlaying a blank button on your html link and use that to change the MSO state
