PCI-5114 clicks when the trigger is changed---is this bad?

Hi everyone,
I'm working with a PCI-5114, using several triggers in a LabVIEW program that loops every second. In the program, I first trigger off of channel 0, then I reset the trigger to collect different information, this time triggering off of the trigger channel, and reading out channel 1. This works, and I get the data that I want (hooray!), but every time the trigger changes (once per second), I hear a loud click from the PCI-5114. Is this bad? Will switching like this eventually harm my digitizer?
If it's not bad, I'm happy to endure the clicking. If it is bad, then I need to figure out a new way to read out my card.
Thanks in advance!
Solved!

Hello Karl,
Some scope cards, such as the PCI-5114, have active switches in them. The noise you are hearing is the switching anytime you change your analog trigger from one channel to another. These switches will eventually go bad after extended usage, so I highly recommend that you stop switching the analog trigger back and forth each iteration of your loop. Once the switch goes bad, your card will have to be sent in for repair. Instead, you may want to look into using one of the PFI lines as a trigger instead.
Regards,

Rollover Slidelet does not function when the trigger & display areas overlap

Hi everyone,
I am trying to use a rollover slidlet where the user hovers over a specific area (my target area) and then an image appears within that same area; thus I want my target area and display area to be the same. Then when the user clicks on this same area, I also would like the slide to continue onto the next slide. The technique works fine when the trigger area and and the display area DO NOT overlap, but once they do the image in the display area no longer appears and my mouse begins pulsing. Does anyone know how I can get the slidelet to behave like I want it to? Or know of any other way I can accomplish this? Advanced actions?
Thanks so much.

Indeed, you cannot have Rollover area and Rollover slidelet in the same place, very annoying.
Advanced actions cannot be triggered by a rollover event, except for Rollover slidelet, and that is the issue. If you really want a hover over effect, the only way I see is using the Eventhandler widget from InfoSemantics, it is not free:

I want the system automatic update my UDFs when the OnHand was changed.

I added two UDFs in table OITW to count the warehouse OnHand by CASES and Bottles. I want the system automatic update my UDFs when the OnHand was changed. Is there any way I can do it in database level instead in the application (too much places involved).

There is few ways how to do this:
- triger as David said, but I dont recomend it through SAP policy
- in stored procedure transaction notification by adding or updating document update your user field
- create job in SQL server which in specific interval recalculate the changes of onhand and update your user defined field
- create addon which will be over functiuonalities which may change the onhand value
I think that from SAP is possible only Addon, but the easist way is trigger and if you dont need it just in time but for example every 10 seccond, the better is job which cannot fail the standard SBO transaction (triger may and may be unsafe).
Hope it helps

Audigy 2 Value randomly pops/clicks when the computer is just idling.

EAudigy 2 Value randomly pops/clicks when the computer is just idling.; I can't figure out why the I hear random popping and clicking when I'm doing absolutely nothing to the computer. Typing this right now doesn't seem to cause any popping. It usually happens when I'm not really doing anything to my computer. This was happening with Creative's drivers and software so I switched to kX drivers, but that didn't help. When I first got my computer (Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe) and got the Audigy 2, I had no problem with Creative's software/drivers at the time, no popping had occur until I installed an SATA HD. PCI latency tool helped at the time. Then I had to go through a reformat and after the reinstallation of Windows XP, the popping started occuring randomly. After my motherboard supposely didn't want to POST anymore, I bought another one which was the Epox. And same problem occured even though I reformat and reinstalled windows.
Right now, the only thing I could think of that the SATA HD and Sound Blaster cards don't mix well together. But none of these are sharing resources. I did not want to try decrease any hardware acceleration at the moment, will there be any difference in sound or performance if I lower the acceleration?
Here are my current specs,
Windows XP Pro SP3
Amd AthlonXP 2600+ @ 2.2ghz
GB DDR Ram
ATI x800 xt AIW
Epox 8RDA3+ Pro
Running Sata HD and IDE, SATA is the master dri've.
Some other info,
The sound card is not shared by any IRQ
PCI Latency Tool didn't help when I tried to set the latency from 32 to 64
Bios is updated
Nforce2 drivers are updated
Klite codec pack 4.5.3 installed
kX drivers used instead of Creatives?
Onboard sound is disabled
Dxdiag did not find any problems

How do I quickly update the ActiveX automation references in my VIs when the ActiveX interface changes?

Hello all,
I joined a test automation team in the middle of a large project and
inherited a huge set of VIs (over 700) and associated architecture for
this automation (not to mention the several thousand TestStand
sequences). Another part of the project is being developed by our
customer, who is using VB 6.0 to create ActiveX components which we
need to use in LabView to access their hardware. They've already
invested a large amount of time developing these ActiveX components,
and they are not finished -- meaning the ActiveX interfaces will be
changing. Every time they send updated ActiveX components, I have to
re-write many, many VIs including updating a couple strict typdefs.
This process takes way too much time and is mind-numbing and prone to
error or omission.
Unfortunately I can't post any of the VIs because of a NDA. But
perhaps a bit more detailed explanation would help. TestStand calls a
VI to open and get an ActiveX reference for automation (which it stores
in a variant). It will pass this reference into any VI it calls to
perform specific functions through this ActiveX interface. For
example, one VI that may be called passes this automation refnum into
another, which passes it to another, which passes it into another to
get the actual ActiveX reference stored in that variant (through a
Variant To Data call with a strict typedef of the ActiveX component
wired to the type input). [See the attached image of this sample VI
hierarchy: the far left icon would represent TestStand, and the far
right is the strict typedef.] Any of the VIs in the chain might use
ActiveX Property or Invoke nodes, and it can break at any one of those
when the ActiveX component changes. It's easy to fix each one, but
since there are so many VIs it takes a very long time.
Is there any way at all to do a massive search/replace or something to
make the ActiveX references update? I realise that even though
property or method names stay the same from one version to the next,
they are different references. Is there a way to update these based on
name if you give it the base ActiveX reference?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Ben,
Unfortunately I can't post any VIs that would demonstrate the problem
because the ActiveX components are confidential. I'll try to develop
my own ActiveX dll that will demonstrate it, but in the meantime, in
hopes that another picture will help, I've attached an image of a block
diagram (with some names changed to protect confidential information)
of one of the lower level VIs from the hierarchy I posted. In this
example, the "Automation Refnum IN" is an input with a type definition
linked to the strict typedef based on the ActiveX automation dll that
has changed. I updated that typedef, but as you can see the output to
the "Class1" indicator is broken. If I delete the "Class1" indicator
and select Create->Indicator from the Class1 property node, and then
wire the new "Class1" indicator to the connector pane, the VI is fixed
-- at least at compile time. In most cases there is also a runtime
problem where the reference obtained by one of the intermediate
property nodes is null, so the property or method node that uses it
fails (e.g. "_VNManager.Networks" property returned is 0, so the
"_Networks.Network1" property node fails). To fix this problem, I have
to delete the wires between the property nodes, and one by one select a
different property/method, then select the correct property/method and
re-wire. There seems to be a bit of "jiggling the handle" to get it to
work though.
I don't know if the ActiveX developer changed anything in this class,
but if he did, he didn't change the name of this class. I would like
to have to modify the VI only if a class, property or method has
changed name or been removed.
Does that all make sense? Thanks for any pointers or help!

How to find the when the password is changed for a system User

Hi to all,
We have a test database where our application connects to system user. The application runs more than a month without any issues, But suddenly my system and sys password gets changed. I wonder how this would happen. I have checked with DBA_USERS to check whether the account gets locked, But the account is in the Open state.
I need to find out when the password gets changed for these users and who changed it? Is there any possible to trace it or we need to enable the auditing to find it in future.
Kindly let me know the possible ways.

Fire a left click when the right button is pressed

I am working on a small program with a text area and mouse functionality. I have all my listeners in place but I need one additional feature and I am unsure how to go about implementing it. I want to be able to fire a left click when the right button is pressed.
The reason is because right clicking does not move the caret around the text area. I need to be able to move the caret with a right click so I can then invoke another method to do some other functionality that is associated with the right click. Any method is acceptable as long as a right click will result in the caret being able to move to a location much like a left click can.
all help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is "better", and my guess is that it isn't, but how about using a Robot object here to create a left mouse press and release? For instance,
import java.awt.AWTException;
import java.awt.Robot;
import java.awt.event.InputEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
public class RightClickAsLeft
private JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();
private JTextArea area = new JTextArea(20, 50);
private Robot robot;
public RightClickAsLeft()
    try
      robot = new Robot();
    catch (AWTException e)
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      e.printStackTrace();
    mainPanel.add(new JScrollPane(area));
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    for (int i = 0; i < 18; i++)
      for (int j = 0; j < 80; j++)
        sb.append((char)(40 + j));
      sb.append("\n");
    area.setText(sb.toString());
    area.addMouseListener(new MyMouseListener());
public JComponent getComponent()
    return mainPanel;
private class MyMouseListener extends MouseAdapter
    @Override
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
      int button = e.getButton();
      if (button == MouseEvent.BUTTON3)
        if (robot != null)
          robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
          robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
private static void createAndShowUI()
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("RightClickAsLeft");
    frame.getContentPane().add(new RightClickAsLeft().getComponent());
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    frame.setVisible(true);

Do I need to recreate the View when the underlying field changes?

Re: Do I need to recreate the View when the underlying field changes?
I did an ALTER TABLE1 to change FIELD1 from varchar(5) to varchar(7). TABLE1.FIELD1 is in VIEW1. When I do a SELECT * FROM VIEW1 it shows 7 characters. But when I look at VIEW1 in object explorer (after refreshing), FIELD1 is varchar(5). Do I care?
Should I recreate the VIEW1?

If you have refreshed using sp_refreshview stored procedure then you are good, if not then here you go...
The metadata for the view is not automatically updated when the tables are modified.
The fix is to either drop and re-create or alter the view or to use the sp_refreshview stored procedure.
Example :
EXEC sp_RefreshView View_Tablename
GO

Ipod wheel clicks when Ipod is off? Is this right

The wheel of my video ipod clicks when the ipod is off.(I'm sure that it's off) I also think that my ipod battery runs down in about 4 hours. Can't be right. Is my wheel supposed to click when it's off? Is my ipod staying on all the time, but the screen is off? Has anyone else had this problem? I'm going to say that the ipod has been very unreliable in every aspect.

yeah i got the exact same problem, my clicker wheel seems to always be running and my ipod's battery only will last maybe 4 hours at the most, it seems like the ipod never shuts down even thought the sceen is blank. i also notice when turning it on, the little apple icon never comes up, it just lights up ready to go like its been running all night.

I'm in the same position, the store said they didn't know of any new release, so i bought my macbook pro to find out about mountain lion. I really hope that i'm not going to pay for the upgrade. New to apple, also last month bought my Ipad 3, really thought that Airplay would have been on my book pro, nope, waste of time.........need that update to use it. Back i the box then, get the windows 7 ultimate pro back out until then.

If your phone is factory unlocked, or officially unlocked by your carrier, updating will NOT re-lock the phone. If it was unlocke by unauthorized methods, any update or restore will re-lock it.

I get the message "Your changes to this item couldn't be saved because server rejected generated iCalendar data"

I get the message "Your changes to this item couldn't be saved because server rejected generated iCalendar data"
How can I fix this?

OK sorted it myself - had to "stop sharing" and reinvite - one irritation is that on the iPad, by default sharing confers edit rights which I did not want. Attempts to change to View Only apparently don't work but it may be there is a time delay - anyway whatever - it seems OK now

How to trigger a refresh of a dropdown list when the selection is changed

Hi,
This is a general ExtendScript question, but since I'm working with FM, I'll ask here first. I have a bit of a paradox here and I'm not sure of the best way to handle it.
I have a dialog box with a dropdown list, where I want to refresh certain controls when the user changes the selection in the list (dropdownList.onChange). This includes refreshing the contents of the list itself. However, the problem is, as soon as I try to refresh the list contents, it triggers onChange again. So, if I put the call to refresh the box within the onChange handler, it results in an endless loop, because my refresher function triggers onChange when it refreshes the list.
Does anyone know a better methodology, where I can safely trigger a refresh of a dropdown list within the list's own onChange event handler? I really wish that onChange was reserved for a user action only, or there was at least some property to that effect.
Russ

Hi Russ,
you can stop that with "stopPropagation()"
You can find this in "Javascript Tools Guide" on page 150.
I'm not able at the moment to send you an example 'cause I'm in a hospital for a while.
Happy New Year!
