Overload/add functions in expression browser

Hi,
short question: Is it possible to add or overload functions in the expression browser? ( e.g. Str() )
Has anybody examples?
Cheers frank

This is not possible.

The functions in Teststand "express browser dialog"

Teststand provides several functions in Teststand "express browser dialog" to facilitate calculations. For example, I can use the function of "SetNumElements" to get the size of certain arrary. However, compared with in CVI, it seems that that's far away from engough.For example, there's no functions like advanced analysis library.
I'm wondering whether Teststand has provided much more functions than what are already listed in "express browser dialog", if yes, where can I get a reference manual to find the functions that I need.
In order to make it clearer, the meaning of ""express browser dialog" is shown in attached file.
Thanks a lot!

I want to comment that Dennis is exactly right about the intent of TestStand.
TestStand is meant to connect and augment code you write in LabVIEW, CVI, and/or Visual Studio, not to replace it. Also, what he refers to as putting functionality in a "custom step" can mean just calling a VI, DLL, server, or assembly from a TestStand step, not necessarily the similarly named but more involved process of creating a custom step type.
Custom step types are good for wrapping a function or VI with a user friendly configuration dialog to facilitate re-use. However, in many cases it is more than adequate to simply passing arguments to a code module you call directly.
It is certainly true that having a large number of code module files can make it more difficult to move a sequence without forgetting to include one of its dependencies. The TestStand deployment tool is designed to help mitigate this problem by identifying dependencies and packaging them all into one directory or installer.

Oracle Proc in edmx via add function import is not working

I have a mandate to call a external oracle package from my local oracle db proc using Entity Framework. I have created a synonym for that. When I am trying to polpulate the oracle procedure data in my mvc screen using odp.net. The screen is closing automatically when I am trying to retive the column info by clicking "get column information" under "Add Function Import" in model browser.
Following is my code snipet
1. created a oracle stored proc to call the external proc
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE USP_GET_DETAILS
IN_ID IN NUMBER,
OUT_RESULT OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
IS
OUT_FED_TAX_ID_NO VARCHAR2(50);
OUT_PARTY_ID_NO NUMBER;
OUT_PARTY_TYP_CD NUMBER;
BEGIN
PKG_GET_DETAILS.USP_GET_DETAILS_INFO (IN_ID, OUT_FED_TAX_ID_NO, OUT_PARTY_ID_NO);
OPEN OUT_RESULT FOR
SELECT OUT_FED_TAX_ID_NO, OUT_PARTY_ID_NO FROM DUAL;
END USP_GET_DETAILS;
2. added the proc "USP_GET_DETAILS" using "Update model using database" in my edmx file
3. Now proc has been added to my edmx file under SSDL
<Function Name="USP_GET_DETAILS" Aggregate="false" BuiltIn="false" NiladicFunction="false" IsComposable="false" ParameterTypeSemantics="AllowImplicitConversion" Schema="BCS_OWNER">
<Parameter Name="IN_ID" Type="number" Mode="In" />
</Function>
4. added following code to my web.config file
<oracle.dataaccess.client>
<settings>
<add name="BCS_OWNER.USP_GET_DETAILS.RefCursor.OUT_RESULT" value="implicitRefCursor bindinfo='mode=Output'" />
<add name="BCS_OWNER.USP_GET_DETAILS.RefCursorMetaData.OUT_RESULT.Column.0" value="implicitRefCursor metadata='ColumnName=OUT_FED_TAX_ID_NO;NATIVEDATATYPE=Varchar2;ProviderType=Varchar2'" />
<add name="BCS_OWNER.USP_GET_DETAILS.RefCursorMetaData.OUT_RESULT.Column.1" value="implicitRefCursor metadata='ColumnName=OUT_PARTY_ID_NO;NATIVEDATATYPE=Number;ProviderType=Decimal'" />
</settings>
</oracle.dataaccess.client>
5. underModel Browser try to add the procedure under "Add Import Function", select "Complex Type". when i am clicking on "Get column information" button, the screen blank for some time and then auto closing the screen without displaying any column info. I would like to know if any thing wrong i am doing on my steps? please help?

I managed to workaround this problem.
I add the function with no return value. Then in the Model Explorer you go to the properties of the imported function and edit the return type property, the same dialog appears, but this time it works as expected(considering you have set all the values correctly on your config file).

How can I set a polygon's path by using the .add() function?

I have been searching the web and this forum and doing plenty of experimenting, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this.
I can set other attributes of a polygon inside the add() parentheses, such as the fillColor, but I can't set the polygon's path's pathPoints unless I use a separate line of code after the add(); line.
My script adds a great deal of polygons in a row, so halving the number of operations would greatly help me, and also it seems that some properties such as appliedObjectStyle cannot be set until after a polygon's path is defined. That means I need a third line of code after add() and entirePath=, which slows me down even more.
Help?

Ryan, I think you need to reset and take a moment to understand what it is that is going on here.
The things you've proposed that don't work shouldn't work, and it's all quite simple.
Generally speaking, a .add() function takes an additional parameter, a JavaScript Object, that list properties of the created object that can be set.
A JavaScript Object is a list of key/value pairs, just like an associative array in a language like perl, or a dictionary in a language like Python. It is expressed in curly braces as such:
{ key1: value1, key2: value2, key3: value3}
So, for any such general add function, these
foo = whatever.add();
foo.bar = baz;
are equivalent to this:
foo = whatever.add({bar: baz});
Are you with me? So, for instance, you had originally asked why you could not use pathPoints in polygons.add() and the answer is simpe. You cannot set polygon.pathPoints, because there is no .pathPoints property of a polygon.
So, when you want to try add properties inside properties, you must do as as objects within objects, and follow the strict hierarchy. Marc advises that this works:
app.activeWindow.activePage.polygons.add({
    fillColor:"FireRed",
    transparencySettings: {dropShadowSettings: {angle:120}}
and if indeed that is so, then the extension for setting multiple transparencySettings should be clear. It is not this, that you propose:
app.activeWindow.activePage.polygons.add({
    fillColor:"FireRed",
    transparencySettings: {dropShadowSettings: {angle:120}}
    transparencySettings: {dropShadowSettings: {distance:1}}
Because to do so is to set the transparencySettings key twice in the same Object. And to do that is to replace the first with the second. The above (yours) is wholly equavelent to:
app.activeWindow.activePage.polygons.add({
    fillColor:"FireRed",
    transparencySettings: {dropShadowSettings: {distance:1}}
If you wish to set more than one attribute of dropShadowSettings, you must set transparencySettings to an object containing one and only one dropShadowSettings, and you must do it only once. So it is this:
app.activeWindow.activePage.polygons.add({
    fillColor:"FireRed",
    transparencySettings:
      {dropShadowSettings: {angle:120, distance: 1}}
I am not sure why you thought you should have the name of the key in the Object named properties. That is probably because in some cases you can use:
foo.properties = { a: 1, b: 2};
as a shorthand for
foo.a=1;
foo.b=2;
but you would [probably] never want to mix that with the object notation for setting multiple properties in the .add() function.
Does this help to clarify?
As for your last question:
Also, it doesn't let me use square brackets or parentheses inside the add() parentheses, so the original problem I posted (trying to set a polygon's path) is still a problem.
It's not about the use of brackets or parentheses, but what they mean and where they go. As you have not posted an example of setting the polygon's path the long way, it's hard to show you how to shorten it. Post what you have that works, and we will show you how to shorten it. (I suppose some with more patience than I are willing to go look up what we think it is you are trying to do, and then interpret it. But I would much rather you show me the code you have that works, and then your attempts to transform or shorten it and change its notation. This makes it much much easier to help you, and it should also make the help more effective, by contextualizing it. As an added benefit, when someone else reads your post and tries to learn from it, they will gain more.)
So again, please provide a clear example of the "long way" to do the thing you are attempting, and then your attempt at shortening it.

Expression Browser

Hello,
I am designing my own compnonent, in which i need the Teststand's expression browser component. Is this exposed to the users? For example, if i have a button f(x), on clicking of which, the expression browser dialog should show up. Is this avaliable for direct use to the users? If not, how can i implement the same?
Thanks,
Regards,
Aparna

You can call Engine.DisplayBrowseExprDialogEx, or perhaps better yet, use an ExpressionEdit UI control, goto the Buttons property page, and add an expression browser button.

How do I add an Airport Express to extend the range of my WIFI network with my iMac as a base station?

Hi people
I need help to configure a new Airport Express only to extend the range of my WIFI network.
My ethernet cable from modem is connected directly in my iMac and I am sharing the internet by WIFI inside home very fine.
Now, I would like connect my devices on my garden on backyard.
I can't move my iMac from their place and i just want add a Airport Express between the iMac and backyard to extend the range of WIFI.
But I can't to configure to that. On Airport Utility appear the Airport Express connected directly to internet globe, but don't work.
So, what can I do? What is wrong?
Thanks all and best regards.
Carlos Sgrillo, from Brazil.

The AirPort cannot do what you ask.
The Airport needs to connect to a modem, or another router......not to a computer.
The Express can only extend a wireless signal that has been provided by another Apple router.

Works with normal = declaration but not with .add() function call? Why?

I still have some problems in relation to my earlier post:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5164571&tstart=0
Help is still warmely appreciated! Thanks already to you Franzis.
So I try to add several JScrollPanes into on Container variable allComponents.
I don't understand why in my program
allComponents = jspane;works but
allComponents.add(jspane);does not.
Same is true for Jpanel objects. In my program
allComponents = panel;works but
allComponents.add(panel);does not. Why is this?
Still I necessarily need to work with a add() function.
So where is the problem?

You can add more images to your book, by dragging them from the browser to your book album. Switch to the Library Inspector, select the album or project with the images in the source list, and then drag these images onto the book icon. That will add them to the book album, and then double click the book album again to continue working with the book.

Can I add an Airport Express into an existing Non Airport Wireless Network?

Hi -
Is there any way I can add an Airport Express into an existing Linksys wireless (802.11g) network?. I would not mind switching completely over to Airport but I want to maintain a hybrid (part wired part wireless) configuration as I have now.
thanks for any assistance!!

Hi skyelaird and welcome to the Discussions
Is there any way I can add an Airport Express into an
existing Linksys wireless (802.11g) network?.
Yes.
You would need to configure the Airport Express to join an existing wireless network (client mode).
In this mode you can share a USB printer and stream AirTunes, however the ethernet port would be inactive.

HI,
which SAP release? FS10N does not support the functional area selection on the selection screen. ECC 60 (new T-Code FAGLB03 ) does in SAP standard. Guess its time to upgrade

You need to take ABAP help and build logic, so that If so & so condition pick LOGO1
and for so & so Condition LOGO2 & for rest LOGO3.
You need to incoroporate the Logic in your program for Script / Smartform.

Add several "OR" expressions in Numbers

Hi everybody.
I'm trying to add more "OR" expressions to my Numbers sheet in the same cell.
I currently have this, and it works fine: =IF(OR(*CELL*="Brazilian Jiu Jitsu", *CELL*="Muaythai"), "Sport", "Restitution")
I'd like to have a "Cardio" and a "Fitness" category but I cannot seem to figure out how to write it.
"Skipping rope", "Swimming" and "Running" are "Cardio" and "Weight Lifting" is Fitness.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely Yours,
Jacob

Hello
The nested IF statement syntax in your case should look like this:
=IF(
    COND1,
    THEN1,
    IF(
        COND2,
        THEN2,
        IF(
            COND3,
            THEN3,
            ELSE3
In order to handle "Restitution", the formula should be like this. (Here I used B2 cell notation instead of using header cell names. You can swtich them in preferences if you wish.)
=IF( OR(B2="Brazilian Jiu Jitsu", B2="Muaythai", B2="Surfing"),
    "Sport",
    IF( OR(B2="Skipping Rope", B2="Swimming", B2="Running"),
        "Cardio",
        IF( OR(B2="Rubber band", B2="Fitness"),
            "Muscle Build",
            "Restitution"
You may or may not remove white spaces such as tabs and linefeeds in these formulae. Indeed, if you prefer, you may input the formula structually formatted as follows (via text input area above the sheet canvas.):
=IF(
    OR(
        B2="Brazilian Jiu Jitsu",
        B2="Muaythai",
        B2="Surfing"
    "Sport",
    IF(
        OR(
            B2="Skipping Rope",
            B2="Swimming",
            B2="Running"
        "Cardio",
        IF(
            OR(
                B2="Rubber band",
                B2="Fitness"
            "Muscle Build",
            "Restitution"
