Need a lot of help with Kinetic Systems 3988 LabView VIs.

I have a Kinetic Systems 3988 CAMAC Crate Controller. I am using the KS3988 LabView 5.1 set of VIs to communicate with the device. I downloaded this set of VIs from the NI web site. I'm new to LabView, so I'm having great difficulty. Virtually all of my commands result in time outs. Has anyone made simple LabView applications using the KS3988 set of VIs? I could really use them.

Hello,
I was unable to find any helpful application development information on the NI website regarding the 3988 VIs, but I did a search on the Internet for "3988 LabVIEW" (without the quotes) and several webpages came up (some in German) for some companies that seemed to be using the 3988 VIs in their applications. I recommend you perform a web search for more information on resources that could help you with using these VIs.
I hope this suggestion proves helpful. Have a pleasant day.

Do the tracks show up in the Recently Added playlist? If so then something has gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem. (Probably adding anything would do.)
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

Please, could you help with The System Error?

Hi guys,
Please could someone help me with The system error: The Parameter is incorrect? which appears on the screen when I open Adobe Photoshop?
It is Starter edition3.0 and so far it worked ok and suddenly this message haunts my screen. If I clic OK, whole application disappears. I tried hundred times and checked it is 5.1.2600 and my notebook has got Windows XP Profesional.
Any advice hunging around?

Hi orion,
Sorry that was the impression made by the support agent. If the version of the software that you have is 3.0 or 3.2, then the catalog can be upgraded when you run the trial version of Photoshop Elements. Version 8 had no time limitations, not sure if version 9 will timeout after 30 days or not.
Just install, and when you launch, Elements will automatically convert the catalog to a format that it can read.

I need some (make that lots of) help with buttons

Hi,
I am a new designer and I am working on my first web site for free. It started out as something I was capable of doing but it has now expanded into a site that is challenging for me. Anyway, I am having a lot of confusion with with making flash navigation buttons for the site.
This is what the person wants. In the up state he wants the button label in text only. In the over state he wants the text with a gray line behind it that slowly expands onto the page. In the down state he wants the same thing but have the text color change and the line color to change. This line is also suppose to stay on the page until the user moves the mouse again. Ultimately the line should also stay fully extended for a sub-menu.
This is what I have done. I have been using action script 2 so I can use the behaviors panel. I made two different movie clips, one gray and one white, using shape tweens to slowly expand the lines.
I started out with the lable only and turned it into a button. It showed in the "up" section of the time line and I put a fram in the "hit" section (layer 1).
Next I inserted a new layer (layer 2) and put a keyframe in the over section of the timeline and made a gray box for behind the text and attached my gray movie clip to the end of it. I put layer 1 above layer 2 so that the text would show through. I did basically the same thing for layer 3 in the "down" section
except changed the colors to black and put a keyframe in layer 1 to change the text color.
Now this is what I get when I play the movie in flash. I have a button that the "hand" appears in only one very small section of it below the text. It does not appear when I hover over the text. When I "hit" the line keeps repeating the movie. I know this is a behavior but when I use the behavior panel to put in play and stop it shows the event as none. As for my black line in the down section, it plays so fast that it might as well not be there. How on earth do I stop it and get it to remain on the page? I also should tell you that I know very little about action script just in case that is the direction that I need to go.
Thanks

You'll probably have to spend some time learning how to create buttons and movieclips that do what you want, which is what you are in the thick of at the moment. For the small area you say reacts to the mouse, the Hit frame is used to define the area that you want to be reactive... so if you had a tiny dot in the normal frames, you could add a big dot in the Hit frame to make it easier to get the mouse to work with the button... the Hit frame content does not display.
For the movieclips, you need to add stop(); commands at the end of their timeines if you don't want them to loop.
Another approach you might consider is to create your buttons as movieclips rather than as button symbols. Going this route gives you much more control of how things behave, but does involve some actionscript to make them behave as if they were buttons for the various states. Some people do not use button symbols and will only use movieclip versions of them.

Need help with andriod system -flash player.

Am using an andriod tablet ZTE with vrsion 4.0 plus as per manufacturer info pamphlet. I have tried to install/ download flash player for this tablet and no luck at all. Can Adobe AIR work well enough to view content on training video presentations even when it says that I need a flash player. I am new to this computer and android stuff and have no luck with help from my teenage kids either. Any info , assistance and guides is super greatly appreciated . Any direct answers can be sent to [email protected] or leave message here and I will check again in the mornings . Thanks for any feedback. Cheers and best regards rickyrem51.

There is no Flash Player for Android anymore, and there won't be another. Android (Google) recommends using a "serverside" browser if you need to view Flash content with an Android device. The recommend "Dolphin" or "Puffin". BOTH are free in the GooglePlay Store.

Early 2007 Macbook...I need a lot of help and am computer illiterate

I have an early 2007 white MacBook 13". I have used it since I started college in 2007. I know I have accumulated a lot of photos and music on it, all of which I am sure contribute to it running incredibly slow. I am horrible at navigating these boards as I do not know how to word my questions in a way that even makes sense....so here are my questions (the simpler the answers the better!) (and I apologize in advance because they have all probably been answered):
1. What can I do to make my computer run faster? I have read about RAM but I don't even understand what RAM is...is that what I need? Would an external hard drive help at all? I have tried deleting files and saving pictures onto USB drives and then deleting them. I also have repaired the disk utilities multiple times. None of that helped. I know there are tons of posts on here about that stuff...but they are so jumbled and I get so lost as to what I've done. Obviously I have read some posts because I did the disk utility thing.
2. What is the highest OS X update my computer can handle? I read I can't have Mountain Lion due to my computer basically being out of date... but can I install Lion? And also, can I skip an update (for example go from Leopard to Lion)?
Again sorry for the repetition. I am hoping people on here are nice enough to just answer the questions without making me feel stupid for being repetitious. Any help would be appreciated.

Asking questions is good, don't feel bad.
Taking it backwards, your system cannot run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
It can support Lion, however, the performance may or may not be great. Lion requires 2GB of memory (AKA RAM), and many have found it needs 4GB to run well. While you can install 4GB on your late 2006 MacBook, the system will only access 3GB. This article talks about upgrading from 10.5 Leopard to 10.7 Lion. Otherwise, you'll need 10.6 Snow Leopard to access the App store. If you want Lion, call the Apple online store, which in the US is 800-MY-APPLE and buy a download code, which you'll use on the App store. Lion 10.7 is $29 and Snow Leopard 10.6 is $19.99.
Your system can easily support OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Call the Apple online store to order it. 10.6 requires a minimum of 1GB, and 2GB, or more, will give better performance. OWC and Crucial are good sources for memory. This Apple note tells how to replace the memory, and this video shows you how to do that.
Now, question 1. Two keys to speed are RAM or memory and free disk space. Discussed RAM already. Disk space the general rule is that you need 10% or more of the space free for systems usage. When you've deleted files, you've probably emptied the trash. Some have found using OnyX has helped with performance (you want the Leopard version). With any disk maintenance program, you should have a good backup before using it.
See this FAQ on OS X performance.

Hi,
I've been able to fully automate System Update distribution using Group Policy. this works perfectly.
I am now trying to achive the same functionality using scritps.
the problem: I get quite a few prompts for "License Agreement" - not the "master" initial one, only a few for the different installs.
here's my setup:
1. a local server is the repository.
2. I import a .reg file before installing "System Update" using an automated install.
3. after a restart, a command runs on the local machine.
here are the details:
registry settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\System Update]
"LanguageOverride"="EN"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\System Update\UserSettings\General]
"IgnoreLocalLicense"="YES"
"DisplayLicenseNotice"="NO"
"DisplayLicenseNoticeSU"="NO"
"ExtrasTab"="NO"
"RepositoryLocation1"="***my internal server here ****"
"RepositoryLocation2"=""
"RepositoryLocation3"=""
"NotifyInterval"="36000"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\System Update\UserSettings\Scheduler]
"SchedulerAbility"="YES"
"SchedulerLock"="LOCK"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\MND\TVSUAPPLICATION]
*** network drive mapping here, this part works ***
also, I use this command to run the updates:
call "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\tvsu.exe" /CM -search A -action INSTALL -IncludeRebootPackages 1,3,4 -noicon
I am just about desperate... I would REALLY REALLY appreciate any help, hint etc :-)
Thanks for ...even trying... lol
regards,
Shay

Help with IC systems

Hi! Before I had a login on here I'd been lurking. I have made so much progress just by reading so much!
Now the current issue I'm having is with IC systems. I have two unpaid collections being reported. Does anyone have an email contact they can send me for them? I'm trying to do a PFD.
Thanks!

Contact information is on the website. I was able to get 3 accounts deleted from my account through PFD. FYI they will not a letter stating that they will delete. However, after 30 days of paying all accounts were deleted

Help with RS232 Communication without using VISA

I'm a newcomer to LabVIEW, and am currently trying to interface with an instrument that communicates via an RS232 serial port. This instrument is not compatible with the VISA tool, and since that (and the DAQ Assistant) is all I've used to interface with instruments, I'm at a loss as to where to head next. I know the baud rate, data format, stop bit and parity bit, and am able to generate the ASCII commands that I want to send to the instrument; I just need a bit of help on knowing which function I can use to go the rest of the way. Thanks for any help.

Why is the "instrument is not compatible with the VISA tool"?
VISA is a device driver interface that allows LabVIEW and other NI programs to communicate with the serial port on the PC. It doesn't care about what instrument is on the other end of that serial connection. Likewise, the instrument on the other end should have no idea whether it is being communicated to it by way of VISA, or any other device driver.
If you are having problems, then it is probably in the way you are using VISA and not within VISA itself. There may be some other ways that you could have your LabVIEW program access your PC's serial ports without VISA, but you are going to have more headaches and problems that way.
Please provide more details on the problems you are having with using VISA.

Need help with Inventory System

I am trying to throw together a semi-elegant inventory
viewing system for a web site I am creating. The current website is
going to be scrapped and remade relatively soon, so I really just
want a quick and dirty solution. As such, I have been using some
spry with xml datasets. I happened upon an article
here
that clued me in to a particularly interesting method of presenting
the data, so I am attempting a similar design, along with code from
spry samples (lots of cut-n-paste unfortunately, which is probably
a major reason why I have so many problems). Anyway, here is the
relevant info:
Right now I have folders for each category, with an xml file
for each size category. I arranged it this way, because I was
originally going to use straight html files for each size category
and in each folder, obviously not very practical. I played around
with the idea of putting all sizes into one file and letting some
spry+xml magic sort it out, but since I can't even get this to work
I haven't really tried it. If you experts would clue me in as to
which version might be more efficient or if you have any other
ideas please feel free to put me in my place.
Before I go any further, my main problem is the third line of
the first piece of code, I'm having trouble getting the dsStock xml
to load properly. The original example I cited above was using
Coldfusion, but I guesstimated that it wouldn't be a problem to
just load some straight xml files. Before I go any further I would
at least like to know if what I am attempting is possible.
Code to load in data for menus, category selection, and
actual inventory etc........
quote:
var dsCategories = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("diamond.xml",
"diamonds/diamond");
var dsSize = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("size.xml",
"sizes/size");
var dsStock = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("{dsCategories::@id}/{dsSize::name}.xml",
"inventory/product");

Here is the actual code in the site (this seems to work out
alright). I haven't rewritten the actual inventory portion yet,
since I can't really get it to load properly. If I can get the xml
I know that I can get it on the page.
quote:

spry:select="selected" spry:hover="hover"
spry:setrow="dsSize">{dsSize::name}</li>
</ul>
Sorry for the long post, but thanks for taking the time to
give it a read and see if you can help me out. I will be eternally
grateful.

Hi StevenMig,
I'm not seeing anything obvious. Have you tried loading your
XML files directly to see if there are errors in the XML? Is your
server serving up XML files with a Content-Type of text/xml or
application/xml?
If you post a sample page, perhaps me or someone else on the
forum can take a look?

Need help with File system creation fro Oracle DB installation

Hello,
I am new to Solaris/Unix system landscape. I have a Sun enterprise 450 with 18GB hard drive. It has Solaris 9 on it and no other software at this time. I am planning on adding 2 more hard drives 18gb and 36gb to accommodate Oracle DB.
Recently I went through the Solaris Intermediate Sys admin training, knows the basic stuff but not fully confident to carry out the task on my own.
I would appreciate some one can help me with the sequence of steps that I need perform to
1. recognize the new hard drives in the system,
2. format,
3. partition. What is the normal strategy for partitioning? My current thinking is to have 36+18gb drives as data drives. This is where I am little bit lost. Can I make a entire 36GB drive as 1 slice for data, I am not quite sure how this is done in the real life, need your help.
4. creating the file system to store the database files.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Here is the rough idea for HA from my experience.
The important thing is that the binaries required to run SAP
are to be accessible before and after switchover.
In terms of this file system doesn't matter.
But SAP may recommend certain filesystem on linux
please refer to SAP installation guide.
I always use reiserfs or ext3fs.
For soft link I recommend you to refer SAP installation guide.
In your configuration the files related to SCS and DB is the key.
Again those files are to be accessible both from hostA and from hostB.
Easiest way is to use share these files like NFS or other shared file system
so that both nodes can access to these files.
And let the clustering software do mount and unmount those directory.
DB binaries, data and log are to be placed in shared storage subsystem.
(ex. /oracle/*)
SAP binaries, profiles and so on to be placed in shared storage as well.
(ex. /sapmnt/*)
You may want to place the binaries into local disk to make sure the binaries
are always accessible on OS level, even in the connection to storage subsystem
losts.
In this case you have to sync the binaries on both nodes manually.
Easiest way is just put on shared storage and mount them!
Furthermore you can use sapcpe function to sync necessary binaries
from /sapmnt to /usr/sap/<SID>.
For your last question /sapmnt should be located in storage subsystem
and not let the storage down!

Need help with control system that reduces a flat output signal every time a certain input exceeds given value

I'm having difficulty setting up a closed loop control system that reduces one of my voltage outputs (connected to a high voltage system) by 30% every time a measured voltage exceeds a certain threshold value. I'm using a USB 6229 DAQ. I've been trying to create a waveform that looks like a DC signal, but the only waveforms that I can seem to manipulate while my VI is running are the stock waveform types. Also, I've tried to use a formula node or conditional structure to update the output value every time the measured voltage exceeds a given value, but everything I do reinitializes the output value every time it runs or won't store the previous signal value. I'm using LabVIEW 8.6 and don't have the PID or similar express VI's. I've attached the mess I've got working right now. Can anyone help? I'm really stuck!
Thanks!

I'm sorry it's such a mess; I'm still pretty new at this. These are both little driver programs for a larger overall control program.
Output control is meant to send a flat signal to the DAQ whose value can be manipulated while the VI is running. I have the second activated segment merely to check the values being output. I didn't realize I attached a version with a meaningless control...I had a control where the user would put in the stating voltage (the high voltage source has a 1V-100V setting for external control). I've attached this slightly different but equally dysfunctional version. Ideally, I would have liked something like the analog signal generator vi to come with an input wiring for offset on the DC signal. Most of the code was diabled because it is copied from an example; it is largely rubbish. I initially used the DAQ Assistant, but when things weren't working out I switched to putting in each step manually to try to troubleshoot.
As far as HiV step down is concerned, I've tried something different with a nested case structure (if that's the right terminology?), and I've attached that file. I think this problem has been solved, but you never know!

Need help with ink system failure Oxc19a0020

I have followed instructions on HP site for general "ink system failure". I have cleaned printer head and disconnected power and commnunication cables. I have cleaned heads twice and disconnected the cables at least three times. Disconnection has been for a minimum of 60 seconds and as long as several hours. When I restart printer, it goes through it start-up procedure and immediately displays ink system failure with code Oxc19a0020.
HP site does not list this code. HELP!

Here is a document that deals with all 0x... errors, just in case you haven't done all the steps:

Needed help with Automator - System Prefs

Hi,
I'm hoping to make an automator workflow that changes some system preferences that I have to change frequently in switching between a work computer and media center.
When it's used as a media center it's setup with a lower resolution to match the TV and the energy settings and screensaver are set to never be used when in media center mode.
Is there a way to use automator or even apple script to change the resolution, energy, and screensaver settings back to my normal settings?
I tried using the record option in Automator but it doesn't seem to recognize anything specific at all.
Could someone please help me set this up?

See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2039384 and Introduction to Automator tutorial at http://automator.us/leopard/video/index.html
