Precisely control position of prompts

I have 4 different prompts I am using on a dashboard for date, region, salesgroup and salesrep. I have placed the prompts on the left side of my dashboards but the prompts will not align. I want each prompt to be the same length within the prompts section and to align perfectly.

Hi,
When you place the prompts in the sections in the dashboard, set the width and horizontal and vertical alignment (for getting aligned in the page).
While creating the prompt, you can find the edit options to edit the prompt alignment too.
Hope this helped/ answered
Kind Regards

  • JSlider or similar for controlling position in sound files help please.

    You know how winamp, wm player , etc, and JMStudio all have a "slider" bar to control position, along with a "numeric readout" of the current position.
    Fairly new to Java, but know this isn't a difficult thing to do, just haven't found out how to do it.
    Do not care if it is with JavaSound API or JMF, either is fine, just learning.
    Have read up on Sliders at:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/slider.html#labels
    But do not understand how to implement it with Audio file usage.
    My goal as a new programmer is to create a simple audio playing Applet:
    For a GREAT idea on what it will basically do check out:
    JMStudio:
    http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/jmstudio/jmstudio.html
    My goals are to have:
    Applet
    GUI with: Pause/Play button and a SLIDER to control position, just like described.
    Have it load and play an audio file when a link is clicked on using the PARAM tag from html
    I know about the open source/commercial products,,,, but I'm trying to learn, and those are too in depth to try and learn from right now, trying to take baby steps, and having difficulty finding anything beyond play()
    loop() and stop()
    searched google, groups, yahoo with various phrases.
    Thank you!

    You have to use a JSlider and combine its events with the setMediaTime method of the player.

  • Precisely control timing of multiple acquisitions?

    What is the best way to acquire repetitive sets of data at precisely spaced time intervals? I'm running LabVIEW 6i on Windows NT.
    For example, I want to acquire say 500 scans at my top scan rate, process them, and then repeat this process every 10 msec. (I have to make configuration changes to my system during the dead time.) I need these data points taken at well controlled time intervals so I can make a meaningful waveform out of the data later.
    Here's what I've tried:
    1. Using a pulse train to trigger the AI Start function. When a triggered AI Start is included inside a While loop it uses all of the system resources watching for the trigger. No good. If I put in any kind of delay inside
    the loop, then NT can take away priority and not give it back until the trigger event has passed.
    2. Using a pulse train to gate the DAQ scan clock. Here I set the data acquisition for continuous acquire, but then turn the scan clock off during the dead time. So the system should only be taking data when the gate signal is high. My problem here is I don't know how to configure the AI Read function properly. Specifically, I don't know how to set the number of scans to read. If I calculate how many data points should be available and use that number, I'll often leave a data point or two in the buffer due to timing/rounding errors. If I set the number of points to read higher than the number I should have acquired, I get unpredictable behavior. Sometimes I read exactly the number of points I expect, sometimes 10 more, sometimes thousands more as it waits through multiple cycles to acquire more points.
    I'm sure there is a better way. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Craig

    How about...
    If you have precise control of the DAQ scan clock, then reading n points would be the way to go. You can request 0 points to read and look at the scan backlog to detect when the next n points are available without getting locked into an AIRead call.
    Or...
    read data all the time and just throw out the rest of the data. Set your acquisition buffer for several seconds worth of data collection and keep track of read vs skip data.

  • Click on calendar control in parameter prompt of viewer gets Jscript error

    Within SAP supplied CrystalViewer.  VS2008 web app, XIR2 Crystal Server, 11.5.3700 or 11.5.3300 libraries.  Although not a forum favored combination of tools, everything seems to work except calendar control within parameter prompts.
    IUSER_(machine name) or everyone has read and execute access for directory and subdirectories via IIS and Windows file system (suggestion from a more general problem post).
    I am able to fill in the date parameter text box and all works well.  Calendar icon properly displays to right of text box but it is followed on subsequent lines by :
    Business Objects X
    i
    i
    within the individual parameter box.
    Click on calendar icon to allow pick of date from calendar causes Jscript error.
    alan

    Hi Jonathon,
    Thank you for your quick response.  Response to you questions follows.
    Q:Does it work anywhere? 
    A:It doesn't work on any date parameter when executed in VS project.  (It does work with Crystal Developer XIR2 client.)  I am only using the viewer - not designing report within project.  Given that, can you suggest a test for calendar control outside of parameters to answer this question?  Sorry for my ignorance.
    Q:It is likely the combination of CR 2008 / XI R2 is not playing well, as you've indicated - they are not meant to. It could be missing runtime files causing issues. Is the CR 2008 runtime installed on the server as well, or only the XI R2 runtime?
    A: We have VS2008 but not CR2008 which is what I think you meant.  With VS2008 installed on development workstation accessing remote XIR2 server objects, a web app running on workstation has problem with calendar.  I am out of my league, but I am thinking the execution of a calendar control for a parameter would not need to call any Crystal libary which might mess things up, but the call is coming from an 11.5.3700 viewer which may be making the wrong call for a VS2008 base library that handles calendar control.  But, I am hoping instead that the problem is that it cannot find something it needs or that it does not have proper access to that something (which has been the cause of all the other problems I have solved).

  • How to achieve precise control of frames flv?

    How to achieve precise control of frames flv?

    Thanks for that suggestion, but still it did not work. I am working on a theory that certain adjustments to the embedded text pane didn't get properly propagated up the component hierarchy. I wouldn't be surprised if something broke the component communication.
    The curious thing is that the scrollpane seems to know how big the viewport is, but the scrollbar finds the wrong "0" point.
    I am making a little progress. I will post my solution here, if and when I find it.

  • Using 'Calendar' control type in prompt - not available

    Hi All,
    I am trying to setup a simple from and to date prompt that can be used in my reports to set the to and from date range for filtering the fact data that is returned. Following a number of blogs and articles on this it seems pretty straightforward. I have setup two static presentation variables on the rpd (startdate and enddate respectively) and I have started to create the prompt in answers that will be used by a number of different reports.
    My issue is that, all the articles I have seen indicate the use of the 'Calendar' control type when setting up the prompt. I however only have the following control type options for the prompt *(Edit Box, Drop Down List, Multi-Select)*. I do not see Calendar. Does this need to be initialized in any way to make it available .. ie move the calendar.js file somewhere so I can use the calendar control?
    example instructions: http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2009/03/obiee-between-dates-prompt.html
    Thanks,
    K

    Figured it out. The fields I was using in the prompts were character fields representing dates 'YYYY-MM-DD'. In order for the Calendar control option to become visible the fields selected as part of the prompts need to be of date or timestamp data type.
    Thanks,
    K

  • Control position vs mouse position

    I want to create a tooltiptext for example. I have the mouse postion, the buttonposition and the window-position. So if I'm moving the mouse-cursor over the button, a light needs to go on. To find the position of the button in function of the X-axis is no problem, but from the top I can't find. My conclusion --> The "top button position" is not right.

    delme.vi ‏34 KB

    You didn't include handy\mouse.vi, so we can't see how you're reading the mouse position. Functions that read the mouse position often report it relative to the current window. You then need to add the window position to it.
    FYI: Tooltips are included in LabView 6.x. Instead of just being able to set the description of a control, on the same screen you can set the tooltip text. Just one minor reason of many reasons to upgrade.

  • How can version control check-in prompts be disabled?

    We are using RoboHelp 11 with TFS for version control, and the check-in prompts are killing our productivity.  The TFS interface is slow to begin with, but we are getting 3-4 prompts every time we do something as simple as renaming a file, plus tons of "No Changes to Check-In" message boxes we have to clear.  If we move a folder containing several topics and images, it gets downright ridiculous.  I literally just had to sit for 23 minutes clicking on confirm boxes just to move a folder from one location to another - there were about 4 confirm boxes to click for every single topic file and image file.  Is there a solution for this?

    I believe these dialogs are from TFS, not from RoboHelp. Ask your TFS admin. He may be able to disable those prompts.

  • Controlling position of thumbnails using variables

    Hi the code is attached for reference.
    This action script controls a photo gallery
    I need to modify the dimensions of the movie clip. I was able
    to change the position of where the main image clips and also where
    the thumbnails appear at the starting point, however when the

    position any longer. I need to show the thumbnails about 500 from
    the left of the flash and make sure it will stay this way. Right
    now, when I mouse over the scroll pane the thumbnails start moving
    to the left all the way to about 4 pixels from the left of the
    movie.
    Can someone help. I am providing links for the difference
    between movie clips. Any help is super appreciated.

  • Controling Position and Velocity of trolley

    Hey,
    I am working on an application for a engineering design project that requires me to control the position and velocity of a trolley on a linear track.
    I have done some work in LabWindows before controlling the speed and position of a linear movement but am having some troubles shifting my knowledge from a small application to what I am working on now. This is what my plan is; I currently have a motor (DC 24V 88A), String potentiometer to determine linear distance travelled (there was risk of slip and need of high precission), sufficiently sized power supply and BNC-2110 DAQ.
    My plan (which I am looking for some feedback on ... no pun intended) is to use LabView to create a PWM (which has already been done) to control the speed of the motor via the counter turning on and off a power mosfet completing the Motor's circuit. By varying the time on and off I hope to control the speed. 
    After this has been completed I hope to hook up my string potentiometer to the Trolley and see how it's position changes over time (i.e. determine the speed at which the trolley is moving at for a variety of different % time on and off). This will act as an open loop test, which I was hoping to then figure out a practical transfer function for the motion of the trolley and then somehow use the String Pot as a feedback sensor to complete the loop and create a PI controller. I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around how I am suppose to put the later bit into practice. It all sounds fine on paper but actually approaching an implementation of this idea is boggling my mind.
    Any input or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Am I on the right track or am I looking at something completly wrong... being a student I guess I don't know exactly how things are done in practice in industry, just what is written in books so any help would greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Mac

    Mac,
    starting with an open loop system, determining the transfer function and designing the control algorithm is a reasonable approach albeit a little bit academic.
    A more empiric approach is tuning the closed loop motion control system by means of test functions like white noise or a setpoint step. Here you can find some information about tuning a motion control system by analyzing the step response of the closed loop system (Please note, that this document refers to NI motion control boards, but the general approach of the tuning process is universal).
    This brings me to something very essential. Stable control systems require a deterministic real-time environment. You haven't provided explicit information about the environment that you are intending to use, but it sounds like you are planning to use a Windows based system with LabVIEW. This is not recommended, as such a system can't guarantee stable control loop timing, which is at least as important as the right set of PID parameters.
    So my recommendation here is to use either a motion control board which runs the control algorithm onboard or to run the application with the DAQ board under LabVIEW RealTime (could run on a PXI-system or on desktop PCs that meet certain requirements). If you are going for the second approach, you may also consider using the NI SoftMotion Development Module.
    If there is any kind of campus license of NI-Software available at your university, all the required software components should be already available for you.
    Last but not least here are some considerations about the power circuitry. You have suggested to use a PWM signal that controls a single mosfet. This approach is not feasible in most applications, as it doesn't allow you to control the position and the speed of the motor accurately. To do this, you need to be able to drive the motor in both directions. You could do this by using an H-bridge circuitry, but this requires some more considerations when designing the control algorithm. In fact in most cases you would work with two cascaded control loops. The inner control loop is the current control loop, that generates the signals for the H-bridge, while the outer control loop is the position/velocity control loop.
    Depending on the focus of your project, you may also consider using a commercial motion drive that provides the power circuitry and the current control loop. Those devices typically provide a +/- 10 V input for an external control signal that is provided by the outer control loop.
    I hope this information provides some ideas to getting started.

  • Controlling position in file

    Hello
    When reading from file I use an InputStreamReader wrapped in a BufferedReader. The BufferedReader provides me with the 'mark(int)' method and 'reset()' method for controlling the position. It appears slightly cumbersome. Im used with 'rewind()' to place pointer at start, and backspace() for previouse line, but maybe the mark(int) method is the only way to control this in Java?
    Also, what integer do you use as parameter for mark(). I did not quite understand the API for this.

  • Define Control Position and Size Numerically (in a new Properties page)

    It would be quite helpful to have a Property page for Front Panel Controls and Indicators where you can define the size (height, width) and position (top, left, related to its container, which can be a panel, a sub-panel, a Tab control, a cluster,...).

  • Porting Mac os VI to windows changes controls position

    I have an application that I want to use on both Mac and PC. I noticed an annoying bug(?) that when I move the VI from Mac to PC and back some of the front panel controls stay in their place, but some change their relative position. If I align some controls on one OS, they would be misaligned on the other.
    How do I fix them in place, and what could be causing it in the 1st place?  There're no overlapping labels or text on either OS version.

    No, we are not using system controls. The app originated on the MAC.
    Here're two screen shots of the same view, 1st the controls were aligned on PC (fig1), then vi was saved and then opened on the MAC (fig2).
    One of the array controls jumped up.

  • How to control position of subtitles...?

    I have a bit of video that has a subtitle stream (i.e. the kind you can turn on / off, not the kind 'burnt in' to the video image).  The video is wide-screen movie aspect ratio, and I can see the subtitles fine on my iPad both when viewing in letterbox format - where the subtitles appear below the video image (in the black 'letterbox area) and in fullscreen mode (i.e. using all iPad screen, but missing detail to left and right - subtitles appear in a translucent grey overlay at bottom of image). 
    When I try to watch the same footage on my TV (16:9 ratio screen) via Apple TV 2, the bottom part of the subtitle text is not visible on-screen - I only see half the subtitle text.
    The Apple TV 2 is trying to position the subtitles in same place iPad does in letterbox format - i.e. 'below' the video image.  Trouble is, the TV is widescreen model, and so the 'letterbox' margin above and below the video image is much less than when on the iPad, but the ATV doesn't seem to realise and draws the subtitles 'below' the bottom of the TV screen. 
    This happens both when trying to watch the clip via ATV directly, and sending it from the iPad via AirPlay.
    On video clips with subtitles that have an aspect ratio that matches the TV aspect ratio, the subtitles appear on-screen via similar translucent overlays.  But I cannot find a mechanism to 'force' the ATV2 to use this method to display the subtitles so I can see them... 
    Does anyone know if there is a a way to force ATV to display the video in this way?
