Non standard baudrate setting

Dear All,
I'm new in java programming and using Linux as my platform. Currently I want to connect some device with a non standard baudrate. Then something happens, everytime I set the baudrate in the code when I run it, the baudrate always changing into default baudrate (9600). Is there any other way to use non standard baudrate in Java?
Regards

Those standard baud rates don't just exist for the fun of it. Devices,
especially simple devices, use a clock crystal to derive their baud rates.
Even 'baud rate friendly clock crystals' exist for this very purpose.
If you have to deal with a device that uses a non-standard baud rate,
return it to the shop, complain and demand a 100% refund.
kind regards,
Jos

  • MP3 ID3 tags in non standard character set

    Hello,
    I'm curious as to how I can rip a cd as mp3 and read the tags that have been encoded in a non western or unicode character set. Right now I'm using the LANG environment variable and setting it to the locale that matches the character set, ripping the songs, and then writing the tags using easytag as unicode before resetting the LANG variable. This is fine, but it gets annoying as once I change the language a lot of my programs also start using that language and I would like them to remain english.
    Is there a simpler and more straight-forward way of doing this?

    Just guessing, but what if you only set LC_CTYPE to whatever language you need?

  • How to solve sync problem between Outlook calendar and iPhone when reminder is set to _some_ non-standard values?

    Hi,
    I am having a sync problem between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook calendar events (Outlook 2010).
    Here is the description of the problem:
    1. In Outlook - please create a new event/appointment (e.g. "Test").
    2. Reminder is set by default to 15 minutes. You can change it by using a dropdown menu - please select: "0,5 days".
    3. Click on "0,5 days" and change it manually to "14,5 days".
    4. Click on "Save & Close".
    5. (Do not snooze or dismiss the reminder.)
    6. Sync with your iPhone/iPad.
    7. Open this new event on iPhone/iPad - you can see that alert is set to "15 minutes before" instead to a correct value that was set in Outlook.
    The same problem can be seen if you set the reminder to e.g. "3 weeks" (standard value is "2 weeks").
    However, it is interesting that non-standard values like "1,5 days" (and all other until "13,5 days") are synced without any problem.
    Does anyone have a solution how to solve this problem (different than the trivial solution of not using those strange values)?
    Thanks!

    Thanks to another post (https://discussions.apple.com/message/17501071#17501071) I reset the sync history, here is what to do: 
    Launch iTunes.
    Before you hook up your iPhone to the PC and iTunes do this: Go to iTunes Edit menu > Preferences… > select the iPhone > click the Reset Synch History button > click OK.
    Connect the iPhone to the PC and let iTunes recognize it.
    In the top right corner is the iPhone icon, click on the left side of the iPhone icon > the iPhone menu launches.
    In the menu along the top click on Info > make your selections > click Sync button > it gives you a dialog at the top with the steps it’s going through during the sync.
    In the top left of the iTunes app > click Exit.

  • JRE ignores proxy setting for connections to non-standard web ports

    Hi,
    I've noticed that JRE would not use the proxy settings if the application tries to connect to a web address on a non standard http port. If port 80, 443, 8080 etc is used, the proxy is used but if it's something like 32938 it's not. Is there anyway to disable this behaviour and just have the proxy used for all HTTP traffic, regardless of destination port. Below a trace snippet that shows the behaviour.

  • How To: Use FCPX to create iPhone Portrait Movies (and other non-standard formats)

    Goal: Use Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7 to produce a 640x1136 video (iPhone 5 Portrait). You can use these same steps to produce virtually any dimensions you want. My example is for the iPhone 5, in Portrait mode.
    This information is available in various places, but you have to realy work to find it, so I thought I'd post a step-by-step guide here.
    By the way, you might think you could just create a FCPX Project with your desired dimensions, but you can't (at least with 10.0.7). Projects only support certainly dimensions. But there are other ways, as the rest of this post describes:
    1) Create an initial movie with the desired dimensions, to serve as a template. We'll call it "Template.mov". The only thing that matters is the dimensions. It can be in any codec FCPX understands, and virtually any length.
    I'm using a 2 second video shot on my iPhone for the template. You could also create a blank image (.png, whatever) with the proper dimensions, copy and paste it into a new Quick Time Pro 7 window, and Export it using custom settings. There's lots of different ways to do this.
    2) Drop Template.mov into a FCPX event.
    3) Select Template.mov in the Event browser, and select File->Duplicate (or command-D). You probably could just edit "Template.mov", but it's a good idea to save it for reuse.
    3) Change the name of the copied video. I'm using "iPhone Video".
    4) Right-click "iPhone Video" and select "Open in Timeline".
    5) If you made the Template video from a still image, you may need to change the duration (ctrl+D). You don't have to make it very long, but it needs to be longer than 1 frame. A few seconds should be enough.
    6) Use this timeline like you'd use a project's timeline. Drop in new content, trim, transition, etc. There may be things you can't do in it, but I haven't found any yet. I'm guessing Chapters may not work, but I haven't tried them.
    7) Note that when you drop new content into the timeline, it may size funny. That's because the default setting for "Spacial Conform" is "Fit". Simply select the newly-dropped content, and in the Video settings inspector, scroll down to "Spacial Conform" and change it. You could use "Fill", which fills the frame vertically, or "None", which uses the source's original height. Then crop/transform/whatever to get what you want.
    8) When you're ready to render, select "iPhone Video" in the Event browser, then use the "Share" button. You want to use the "Export File" destination, which you may have to add. Pick your codec, and let 'er rip.
    9) When the rendering is done, you should have a video in your desired dimensions.
    That's all there is to it. Hope this helps someone.

    PS: Don't ask why someone would want to create an iPod video using FCPX. The point is that you may need to create a video with non-standard  dimensions at some point in time, and this is how to do it.
    PPS: Most of this information came from http://library.creativecow.net/articles/payton_t/FCPX_Custom-Resolution-Timeline s/video-tutorial. I just wrote it down, while I tried to do what the video suggested.

    Instructions for using QuickTime Pro 7 to create a template video with unusual dimensions.
    I suspect that anyone savy enough to be using FCPX has probably already figured out how to do this, either using my technique or another, so there probably isn't a real need for me to post this. For that matter, I may be the only person who cares about this at all. However, while I was trying to learn how to do all of this, I would have really appreciated having all the information in one place, so here goes.
    If you want to create a video with unusual dimensions (like 640x1136) using my steps above, you'll need a "template" video first. Here's an easy way to create one, using any image editor, and QuickTime Pro 7.
    1) Open QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP for short).
    2) From the menu, select File->New Player. You'll get a window with just the bottom portion of the player, i.e. the playback controls.
    3) Using an image editor, create a still image in the desired dimensions. You can use any image editor. It doesn't matter what the image contains (although it will end up showing as a thumbnail in FCPX).
    4) Copy the image to the clipboard.
    5) Switch back to QTP, and paste the image into the new player. Don't worry that there isn't a video window showing - just paste it into the window that has only playback controls. As soon as you do, the video window appears.
    6) Advance to the end of the movie (the short, 1-frame movie), then hold down Command+V (paste) and keep holding it down to paste multiple images in. Watch the time advance. You could, if you want, just hold down Command+V until you get the length you want. But if you want a long video, there's an easier way:
    7) When you reach a few seconds (or whatever duration your patience allows), select all (Command+A) and copy (Command+C). Then hold down Command+V to keep pasting in the longer clips. Wait until you reach a longer duration, then repeat the process. So, for example, 1 second, then 10 seconds, then 1 minute, then 10 minutes, then 1 hour. Or whatever you want.
    8) Save the video however you want. I usually use File->Export with H.264, with Quality set to "Least". Just make sure you don't let it change the dimensions. If you resized the player window, depending on which "save" or "export" method you've chosen, it might default to the resized dimensions, so double check that to make sure.
    That's it. You now have a template video you can use with my previous post(s).

  • AV output and non-standard frame sizes

    I usually work in non-standard frame size for my FCP projects because my final output will be in a 2:35:1 ratio. I use a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Monitor as an HDMI output to a client monitor. Up until a few months ago the AV output of FCPX would allow the Mini Monitor to accept a frame size of 1920x818 and letterbox the output to 16x9 on this consumer grade LCD. One day, this just stopped working... I've reached out to Blackmagic and they have no solution or reason why this happened, and are not willing to offer support since what I was achieving wasn't an "officially supported" feature. Now, the AV output will distort the image vertically to fill a 16x9 frame. At this point I am stuck having to use either a matte layer or a widescreen effect on individual clips to output correctly to my monitor which increases edit time having to re-render any edits underneath the matte and having to re-order the letterbox effect after apply color correction etc. It was also very easy to adjust the frame offset with this wide angle project size.
    Is anyone editing in 2:35:1 (or other cinema standard) projects and getting successful conversion on output? What are you using?
    Cheers,
    Matt

    Thanks Tom, you clarified it .......  or at least something clicked in my brain.
    I was trying to set "Custom" when I created the new project.
    I didn't know, or had forgotten, that in the "error" window I could select "Custom".
    All is now well and FCP X 10.1.1 is pretty clever after all!
    There is one weird thing I'd like to mention.
    When I clicked on "Custom" the 960 x 600  frame dimensions appeared but the  frame rate was listed as 23.98p as shown in the screenshot below.
    So what's wrong with that?
    Well the clip is 30p  and I naturally thought I was going to end up with a project with an incorrect frame rate.
    Now here's the funny thing  .........  when I selected the project and viewed it in the Inspector it was the correct 30p
    So why was I given that worrying piece of misinformation.

  • Oracle DB: How to parse XML where element names are non-standard ?

    I'm in the unfortunate situation that I have illegal XML that I would like Oracle to parse. By 'illegal' in my case is that there are element names that start with an illegal character, such as a digit. Apart from this the XML is syntactically valid.
    Here is an example of the XML I have stored as a column in the database:
    <schedule>
        <1stweek>
        </1stweek>
        <2ndweek>
        </2ndweek>
    </schedule>Right now I'm doing text search-and-replace on the XML text before I let Oracle parse it, for example replacing '<1stweek>' with '<x1stweek>' and so on. Needless to say this is very slow.
    My question is if there is a way to tell the XML parser in the Oracle DB (I'm using version 10.2) to be a bit more forgiving ? ... so that it will accept element names that start with e.g. a digit ? I know that such an option exist in some XML parsers but what about Oracle's and if so how to set the option?
    And before you ask I'll answer myself: No, I'm not the one who created the non-standard XML. It is from a third-party application which I cannot change myself and cannot get the vendor to change either.
    Thank you.

    if you cast your clob to an xmltype then you can search and extract values based on tags.
    Heres an example where the table is a clob and value is cast and I'm looking for an existing attribute_name.
    Check out the Oracle XML developers Guide
    select u.*
    FROM preload_xml

  • Non-standard fonts in JOptionPane

    I have looked extensively through this forum, and no one has answered this specific question, even though it has been asked several different ways. Maybe someone has an answer now.
    I am writing a client app using Java 1.4.2_02 that needs to display many languages. I have all of the European languages displaying correctly in JFileChooser and JOptionPane. I even have the Asian languages displaying correctly in JFileChooser. What I can't do is display the Asian languages (and probably any non-standard font) in JOptionPane correctly - all I see are boxes in place of the characters. Here is the relevant code of what I have tried so far:
            Locale.setDefault(Locale.JAPAN);
            int option = JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION;
            String [] buttonText = null;
            switch(option) {
                case JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION:
                    buttonText = new String[2];
                    buttonText[0] = UIManager.getString("OptionPane.yesButtonText");
                    buttonText[1] = UIManager.getString("OptionPane.noButtonText");
                    break;
                // other cases...
            JOptionPane jop = new JOptionPane("Do you wish to display Japanese fonts?",
                                              JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE,
                                              option,
                                              null,
                                              buttonText);
            // Have tried many fonts - MS Gothic seems to be the one that should work, though.
            // BOLD seems to slightly work - I see a (Y) or a (N) after the strange characters.
            jop.setFont(new Font("MS Gothic", Font.BOLD, jop.getFont().getSize())); 
            JDialog jopDialog = jop.createDialog(null, "Dialog Title");
            jopDialog.show();Even though most of the above code is from a post by one of the authors of "Java Internationalization", this doesn't work. Has anyone solved this problem?

    To solve this problem, you have to tell the UIManager to set the font everywhere you need the new font. Unforunately, there is no one method call to do this. So here is the short version:
            localizedFont = new Font("MingLiU", Font.PLAIN, 12);  // or whatever font you need
            UIManager.put("ToolTip.font", localizedFont);
            UIManager.put("OptionPane.font", localizedFont);
            UIManager.put("Button.font", localizedFont);
            // etc...    Another thread (I forget where) gave code to extract all of the properties of UIManager - find that thread to get all the properties.

    Thanks for your confirmation on no prob found in config level 1st..:P..as to save us a lot of time in isolating problem at this level.
    What we can notice is seems the data port connection is fail to open  for server back to client....for our general sense..... the flow expected should be:
    TCP session A -- Client:1234 --> VIP:21 --> member svr:6370
    TCP session B -- Client: 5678 <--> VIP:20 <--> member Svr: 6379 [on demand generated between server/client]
    but we can only see session B fail  to setup when client side access VIP site on CSS..even we try to put the most standard case as below
    TCP session A -- Client:1234 --> VIP:21 --> member svr:21
    TCP session B -- Client: 5678 <--> VIP:20 <--> member Svr: 20
    we still unable to make the Active mode FTP access work either...hence we got no idea on how CSS handle FTP access when it involve services over multiple tcp ports..
    and from CSS xlate view...the problem is we can only see what NAT IP that used in CSS connect to client...but no way to confirm for which port for VIP using outgoing to client. neither it is dropped by CSS..nor it is never setup from VIP to Client side.

  • Isakmp peers using non-standard port 4500

    Hello,
    I have a remote site using the Internet to access corporate networks over IPSEC. Set-up is as below:
    Remote Router uses public IP across internet --> hits corporate untrusted nework FW --> NAT'ed to private 10.x.x.x IP --> reaches trusted network router.
    The problem is that the peer keeps hanging and the only way to reset it is to issue 'clear crypto session' on the central trusted router. I have added isakmp keepalives with the aim of forcing some keepalive traffic:
    crypto isakmp keepalive 90 30 periodic
    ...and this works to some degree (with DPD are u there keepalives). However I have noticed that the far end router uses non-standard ports when trying to set up phase-1 tunnel:

  • Mailserver using non-standard smtp port

    how do i set SMTP to accept connections on a non-standard port (i.e. 2525 or something)?
    i'm running a mail server and my residential isp (comcast) after ten years of peaceful coexistence decided that they need to block port 25. so i am setting up a commercial store/forward mail relay service. all i need to do is set up my snow leopard server to accept incoming connections on a port other than 25. sounds easy. it is mentioned in the docs thusly:
    "By default SMTP is enabled on port 25. If port 25 is blocked in your environment,
    you need to change the port SMTP uses."
    ... but that's all i can find. specifically, it doesn't say exactly how to change the port.
    any help appreciated.

    following up to my own post. hoping this info may be useful for others who face the same issue who are running a server and then having email ports blocked by their ISP's.
    i worked around this by signing up for a mail relay service (i use the one provided by dnydns.com). they forward incoming mail for my domain over a nonstandard port.
    since i never received an answer to my question about how to make SnowLeopardServer email server accept SMTP connections on other ports, i simply used port mapping in my router (Airport Extreme) to redirect this port (i used 2525) on my WAN address to port 25 on my server - an acceptable workaround.
    i also did the same port redirection for the other "standard alternative" smtp ports, 465 and 587.
    since my ISP blocks port 25 in both directions, i also needed to find a work-around for outgoing mail as well. previously, my mail server simply forwarded to my ISP's smtp server (using the default port 25). here the Server Admin interface worked but with one "trick": under Mail>Settings>General, i left the box for "Relay outgoing mail through host:" checked, and in the field there i put "[smtp.myispdomain.net]:587" (that is with square brackets, and a colon, but no double-quotes - and of course, use your own smtp server's domain name). afaik this is not documented anywhere in the apple-provided docs, but i found the corresponding docs for postfix, and reverse-engineered it.
    so now i can read (via IMAP) and send (via SMTP) mail from my home server, both when i am on my LAN and when i am accessing remotely, and effectively work around the bi-directional block of port 25 imposed by my ISP.
    i'd still like to know if there is a method of configuring smtp to accept connections on ports other than 25. i can see how to do it by editing /etc/postfix/master.cf, but afaik that file gets overwritten by Server Admin...

  • How to use a non-standard true type font that won't be changed by the native environment on others' computers when they open the document?

    We are using a non-standard true type font (Zurich Ex BT) when creating a .pdf document but when others view it, the font is changed on their computers.  How do we use this font and keep it from being changed when others look at it?

    This is actually good stuff and well written but I hesitate to advise people to use either the "oven trick" or really even the heat gun method as both are notriously short-lived even if they appear effective. Your far better bet is to send the board in to one of the vendors on the internet who are set up to do a proper reball. Even those fixes are good for maybe 12-18 mos. But again, you get a high grade for spelling it out.
