Printed books for CVI 5.5
Hi,
I've given up trying to find any information on National's web site.
I was just surprised to finding CVI 5.5 installed on my test platform.
I'm accustomed to working from CVI 5.0 and the behavior and IDE are
different enough that I'm going to have to re-learn how to use CVI.
But I can't seem to find any printed manuals that accompanied the CVI
5.5 license.
Should there be printed manuals, or has National decided on-line manuals
are sufficient? (They're not, IMO.) How can I get printed manuals?
TIA for any help ...

Thanks for your help.
I went back the next day, without the added pressure of a colleague
waiting for me to produce output, and discovered that the changes from
version 5.1 to 5.5 aren't that much. I also opened the on-line manual
at my desk, on my 21" monit
or which I have set to high-res (compared to
the 15" monitor at medium res, which is what's available to me in the
lab) and was able to see the illustrations.
On-line books are *not* adequate!!!

Thanks for these. I'll be sure to check them out.

Printing Books for a Photo Class
I am a college student in a digital photography class. About 90% of the class is on a Mac and we use iPhoto & Aperture to edit photos. We want to start printing books but before we do, what recommendations do you have for the other 10% of the class? Is there a program that PC users can either purchase or download that will allow them to make books? Thanks for your time.
PC users, as well as Mac users, can make photo books on a variety of online programs. Shutterfly, SharedLink, ImageStation, PhotoWorks all will allow users to create nice bound books. Shutterfly has nice options for page layouts--even more than Apple!

Offer - free print book for English genius
I'm about to publish the beautiful, so worthy of reading The Richest Man in Babylon.
This book has been edited, by me, in digital media, and in print, line by line, word by word. However, after the 1000th quotation mark, within quotation mark, within quotaion mark (third person quoted within one paragraph) . . . In short, I would still like another set of eyes.
So, I am offering one free print book to be sent to your place of work or residence; read the book, relax, enjoy (as it is clean and beyond useful). In exchange, I would like your eyes. You must know quotation rules like the back of your hand.
I will forever be grateful.
It is a great book.
Someone wonderful, please take the offer.
I will be back with the link.
When my 17" macbook pro was replaced (16 months old), I dealt with Customer Relations. They emailed me details of exactly what was agreed upon over the phone, and actually I asked for a 15" model, because I wanted the 15" and not the 17". They had me sign an agreement for the change to the 15" model. Also, my original macbook pro still had applecare extended warranty and they gave me a choice to either transfer the remainder to my new one or to get reimbursed. I asked to be reimbursed, and then re-purchased applecare for the new macbook pro.
I am very pleased that I got the newer model and it is much better than my original one.
that is most of what i can tell you of my experience, which is different, since I was dealing with Customer Relations via phone.
there is at least one person who posted on this forum that said that Applecare agreed to give them the applecare extended warranty at no extra cost for the new unit.
hope that helps- -

Printed books for LabView / TestStand
Hello,
can someone suggest any books for a complete beginner in
a.) LabView and
b.) TestStand
(I mean a separate book for each product.)
Is there something that i can buy in normal bookshops or is there a online-shop of NI?
Or are there no books to buy, only online-help?
Thanks for all tips.Regarding TestStand, there is indeed not much material besides the NI training classes and documentation files.
I find the following source very useful, but it requires a basic knowledge already:
TestStand Advanced Technical Series.
hope this helps,
Norbert
PS: This series is now about 5 years old, so some information might not be accurate regarding the newest TS version.
CEO: What exactly is stopping us from doing this?
Expert: Geometry

Book: LabWindows/CVI Programming for Beginners
Has anyone read the followong book LabWindows/CVI Programming for Beginners LabWby Shahid F. Khalid ?
This book in not in print anymore and inpossible to find.
Does anyone know of any similar source material?
I have both LabWindows/CVI Basics I&II but the content is extremely limited and not enogh details.
Does NI offer anything better than the embedded Help?
A Programmers Reference would be nice.
Thanks.Hello NI Nubie,
I have that book, and also its "advanced" sequel by the same author. They both went out of print a long time ago. The books are OK, but they are only available on the secondary market for ridiculous prices now, and that is assuming that you can even find them.
If I could pass on some advice that might be more helpful to you in learning CVI: pretend those books do not exist for now. Instead, I think that for learning CVI, there is nothing better than looking at other people's CVI project-level code and really understanding it, inside and out, and then making your own modifications to it to enforce what you just learned from it. There are several places to start looking for project-level CVI code, which I will list in (what I think) are the highest-to-lowest priority of your training.
The first place I recommend is the examples that ship with CVI (located in the "samples" directory under the CVI installation directory). I say this because these are supported by the NI developers and support crew. In fact, back in 1995 when I was learning CVI 3.1, I dove into the "Icon Editor" application, for several reasons: it was a *complete* application (as opposed to the other, mostly point-solution "academic" examples under the samples directory), it showed how to segment your code into multiple source and header files, and it showed many advanced user interface features (menus, cut-and-paste). There is now an "example finder" to help locate examples that "fit" to what you are currently trying to accomplish. I also use the freeware "grep-like" tool called "Agent Ransack" (URL is below) to hunt down specific CVI functions and identifiers (such as certain EVENTS and how these examples use them).
Agent Ransack on MythicSoft.com
The second place I recommend is the other "support" locations on the NI web site. There are knowledgebase articles, tutorials, submitted examples, community examples, and also extra "academic" examples from NI engineers that aren't the same as the ones that ship with CVI. There are also whitepapers scattered in there as well, and a few that have hidden sample code that is embedded at the bottom of the article. You really have to hunt for this stuff, and it would be great if the NI folks could try to index this a bit better somehow. I sometimes even resort to using Google's search engine to find them on the NI web site, because the NI search engine may not find them.
The third place I recommend are user-based web sites created by power-users of CVI who like to share their code. Two that I found long ago that remain at the top of the list (in my opinion). One is Guillaume Dargaud's site, where he has lots of CVI examples and freeware. The other is Philippe Baucour's "Rebel" CVI site (but you will need to use an online translator if you don't speak French, though).
Guillaume Dargaud's web site (drill down for CVI examples and freeware)
Philippe Baucour's "Rebel" CVI web site
Finally, you might find it interesting to know that there is a tremendous repository of C source code scattered all around the Internet, mostly as part of free and open-source software projects, many of which are supported on sites such as SourceForge.net, and many other locations. Many of these places are filled with people (in forums or mailing list servers) who live in the C programming world on a full-time basis, and can help you through some of the advanced techniques. Some of these projects might be targeted to Windows, some use cross-platform techniques, so they have a chance of being applied to your CVI efforts. There is also an entire universe of programming "libraries" and capabilities that you can use to augment your CVI projects as well. All of this because of the open-source revolution, riding on the back of GNU/Linux and the community and corporate entities that are backing it all. Examples that come to mind are Cygwin and MinGW. If you only have the time to just look up these two items on Wikipedia, you will see that this is just the tip of the iceberg of the possibilities that are available to you as a C and CVI programmer on Windows.
I hope this was helpful to you.

To whom it may concern: My alias is also my nickname, I've had it since I was a (very) skinny basketball-playing teen. OK, so I've got a 38 inch waist now, but my hometown friends haven't shaken that appellation for me. I trust that you will someday be OK with that alias, as I have been with that nickname. -

How do I print envelopes for everyone in my address book?
How do I print envelopes for everyone in my address book? It seems so simple but after half an hour... no joy!!
I have spent most of the morning in a frustrating search of a way to print labels for my contacts. I have a couple of problems. I want to send every label to a different person at the same address. I have hundreds to do and most of them do not have a mailing address so I tried to do a bulk change of the address ... without manually changing every contact there is no way to do this. I've tried to create a template with a table (10x2) and added merge fields to each of the cells but when I do a mail merge all I get are hundreds of pages with a page dedicated to each contact whereas I want to merge on a cell by cell level, i.e. 20 different contacts on the same page.
How do I do this? I can't find label style that is appropriate and I'm not sure how to create one with 10 by 2 labels per page.

I receive an error message when I upload my book for printing. Not sure what the problem is. All my images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large as it takes about 15minutes to upload to Apple. How do I reduce the size of the image in Aperture?
Hi Leonie,
Thanks for your reply.
Error message below. The preview is fine . I can discount the first 2messages as its a new computer so plenty of disk space and upload doesn't seem to be interrupted. I have uploaded to iphoto before. have tried to upload 3times with the same error message. I had to photo my slides with a Kaiser Baas photo maker , which apparently doesn't scan but takes photos in megapixels of the slides. I am wondering now if the format is incompatible though they are jpg files or the colour type wrong. The image files are around 1-3 mb each and 72 ppi. I think I will now scan them properly with a scanner to 300dpi anyway to improve quality.
Apple talks about image files not being too big for uploading but gives no sizing of what too big is?
Error message
1. Upload Error. Loss of connection or file corruption during order upload may cause an incomplete order. Resubmitting your order usually resolves this issue.
2. Low Disk Space. If your computer is running on low disk space, your files may be assembled incorrectly. Create more space by deleting unused files.
3. Unreadable PDF file or image files. Files are sometimes assembled incorrectly due to CMYK or Grayscale color space. Use the RGB color space for best results. -
Is it possible to reorder an iPhoto book 2 years later? My hard drive crashed and the photo book is no longer in my iPhoto but Apple printed it for me before the crash. Would Apple still be able to print another copy?
For future books you might consider doing what I do: create a separate library for each book andcopy the photos for the book from your working library to the book library with iPhoto Library Manager.
When the book is completed and ordered burn the library package to a CD, DVD or external HD to archive it so it's available for editing and reordering at a later date if needed. -
I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project/photos from iphoto.
Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?No. Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days. Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.
Even though the horse is out of the barn the following tutorial might be of help for future books, i.e. create a new library for each book): iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

Best way to prepare photos for iPhoto printed book
Hello,
I was wondering what would be the best way to prepare photos for iPhoto printed book on a Macbook Pro so to achieve the most realistic results to what's on the screen
ie. which software should I use to change photos from RGB to CMYK, photoshop or iPhoto itself. I'm guessing maybe the autofix feature in iPhoto? (I don't have Aperture)
Secondly, which monitor color setting should I set the screen at? I'm guessing it's either Apple RGB or Colour LCD, maybe even ColorMatch RGB?
Any any other tips that people can give in achieving the most realistic results to what you have on the screen when your printed iPhoto book gets sent back. I don't want the mid tones to disappear or become too bright because the gamma and color settings were different to what they use at the other end.
Many thanks.Hi,
The situation has changed a little, our original photos are in RAW format and some of them are slightly over saturated in the higher tones.
I've read on other threads that it is a good idea to run the 'Enhance' tool on all photos before sending the iPhoto Book away.
Since iPhoto's 'Enhance' tools seems to do a lot of helpful things like sharpen, adjust the levels, etc it also seems to notch the contrast up and this would prove destructive for the lighter and darker tones not captured by the camera's dynamic range.
So as I've been advised it's best to use Apple's own tools before sending the iPhoto Book away, so I'm going to download the trial of Aperture.
Does anyone have any more recommendations on which monitor colour profile setting to use etc. I've also read that iPhoto prints best from JPEGS so the RAW will obviously need changed. Will Aperture automatically save to Profile name: Camera RGB Profile after I've done some editing there?
What would be the best way to prepare RAW images in aperture where some of them might need an Image Overlay in Photomatix then imported back to Aperture for printing an Apple/iPhoto style Book?
Many thanks -
I wish to create a fixture book for a sports team and print it using Duplex. It will consist of 19 pages
Can't see what you are looking at.
You will need to describe what exactly you are talking about.
Meanwhile see Imposing Booklets or Duplex printing:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=181&highlight=imposi tion&mforum=iworktipsntrick
Imposed Booklets have pages in multiples of 4, Duplex documents of course in multiples of 2.

Aperture 3: After sending my book for printing to Apple the Apple Store told me that my text and the background have the same color and they couldn't print the book. But I couldn't find any problem in the preview. How could I find the pages where the problems are? Or otherwise, why doesn't print Apple the book how it is. Idon't need the text which couldn'be seen.
The forum is for Logic Pro users.. I will ask the moderators to move it to a more appropriate forum for your question/subject
