Programatically cahnge highlight execution order speed?

Is it possible to change the highlight execution order speed? If there are many things going on it is painfully slow to watch. I know breakpoints can be used, but
I would much rather fast forward the highlight execution order, I would find this feature much more useful.
Can this speed be set programatically? Is there a property node reference for it?
Thanks,
Adam

There is no way to change the speed that I know of. There are some tricks to turn it on and off programatically, but it is not a supported feature and has been known to throw error messages in the past so I wouldn't reccomend trying it.

Highlight execution speed up

Hi Visual Programming Champions!
Im working on a School project, I'm doing an Espresso vending machine.
Anyways.... I'm just wondering if there is a way to speed up the highlight execution run?
I just need it to be a bit faster.....
Thanks for your answer. If I get a
satisfying answer, i'll send you a drawing of a seven legged spider.

Thanks
That was really helpful, now I only need 1000 dlls to buy
the State chart module. I'm currently using the Student Version and it is not
included. (sad)By the way, the spider that jcarmody attached, is not the
original. Mine has missing a different leg. Thanks for your fast answer. This
will help me finish my school project in time (today).

Different values when in highlight execution mode.

I am running a vi which does a bunch of math on scalars and floating point images. When I run the vi, the output images are filled with "Not a Number" but when I go throught the vi in highlight execution mode the numbers come out as what they should be. This doesn't have anything to do with the camera not responding fast enough to supply the data for the image when in normal execution mode. I'm just testing the vi by defining an image filled with a particular value so that I can see if it is doing the math correctly. If the "NaN" result was all I had to go on (when running the vi normally) I would keep looking in my code for errors, but I get the correct numbers when I run it with execution highlighting.
Can anyon
e explain why this would be happening?
Thank you.

Hi,
I made the expirience that function in undefined order are executed in
different order if the vi is run in highlight mode or normal mode. So it
can be usefull to put some critical functions in a sequenz for the right
order.

Programs hangs, unless highlighting execution or disabling multithreading

I'm making a program to control my signal generator over a GPIB board. Have all the drivers belonging to the SG, so it's just a simple loop where I can set the parameters. VERY basic, I thought....
The program almost immediately hangs... However, when I use 'highlight execution', or 'single step' through it, it runs fine. No problems at all. So that makes it a bit difficult to debug... :-)
Been testing a lot allready and found out that disabling multithreading also solves the problem.
Does that sound familiar? Any way to solve the problem?
I guess it's a timing problem of some sort, but I'm not sure that I can change much. I'm almost only calling the SG driver VI's. Looked into those VI's, and they're all just DLL calls. Nothing I can do there...
Ofcourse I could just disable multithreading as a work-around. But how bad will I suffer in performance/responsiveness if I disable multithreading? It's only a tiny program now, but it's supposed to grow quite big.
Any thoughts?

Your problem can be genrated by too fast messaging to the SG
Also polling on a statusbyte should not be too fast, but ms waits should not be neceesary except when polling in a while loop.
Not sure that I understand.. Do you mean that the VI´s that control the SG allready return before the actual instruction is carried out by the instrument? So that I´m issuing new commands while it is not ready with the first ones?
Using sequences to determine execution order is the second best.
Error In, Error out offer better control and more readability.
I know, I know.... But the standard Labview 'wait' VI doesn´t have error I/O. So when I quickly needed to put a wait in a specific spot, I added a sequence around the wait, and run the error line through it. Just now that I had to put in so many, it was becoming a mess. Allready made a custom 'wait' VI with error lines now. (See the code)

Execution order of Multiple Numeric Limit Test?

What is the execution order of "Multiple Numeric Limit Test" in TestStand 2010?
I am using a custom steptype of Multiple Numeric Limit Test. I want to manipulate the input parameter. How can I do that. I am not interested in making a new steptype. I am writing in Post-Expressions and the data is manipulated as they should but it is not evaluated. I is evaluated before the Post-Expressions executes.
For example I am writing: Step.NumericArray[0]= Step.NumericArray[0]*1000/(2.5-Step.NumericArray[0])
The execution order when looking at the TS manual at page 3-13 is Evaluate Post-Expression before Evaluate Status expression. But it is not what I see. I have also tryed using the more simple Numeric Limit Test and it works as I expect it to according the manual.
Anyone knows about any workaround for that?

Hi Ray
Thanks for your reply
I have tried writing what you are suggesting: Step.Result.Measurement[0].Data= Step.Result.Measurement[0].Data*1000/(2.5-Step.Result.Measurement[0].Data)
Still it evaluates the step before the post-Expression. When I am looking at the variables at runtime the Step.Result.Measurement[0].Data is having the correct value but it seems to evaluate the step before the Post-Expressions.
Any other suggestions?

Why does subVI open when a VI is run without highlighting execution

When running the VI Proc Recipe Array without highlighting execution the subVI VPTS Proc Cmnd gets a green arrow over its icon and opens. I want to run the main VI without opening any of the subs. Why does that subVI open? All sub are in the attached LIB file and the test file needed is also attached. You should place the input file in the C:\VPTS\Recipe folder.
Attachments:
Vacuum_Pump_subVI.llb ‏949 KB
test_rcp_011402.txt ‏3 KB

This is because the SubVI VPTS Proc Cmnd has an option "Suspend when called".
To cancel this
1.open the subVI,
2.click with the right mouse button on the subVI icon in the up-right corner of the window,
3.select "VI properties...",
4.choose category - Execution
5.and uncheck the option "Suspend when called".
Good luck.

Dashboard Prompt Execution Order

Hi everyone,
I wanted to create a few test cases to see which order the Dashboard prompts were executing. What I did was I created two identical dashboard prompts, DBP1 and DBP2, on column "Account Number". I set DBP1 to Default to Specific value of 1. I set DBP2 to Default to Specific value of 2. My assumption is that the last prompt that executes is the value that will be shown in a dashboard.
I put the two prompts into a Dashboard and ran a few tests and here is what I found out:
1. The order in which the prompts appear are the dashboard is irrelevant to the execution order.
2. The value to which the prompts are set to is irrelevant to the execution order
3. The name of the dashboard prompts is irrelevant to the execution order
4. The alias of the dashboard prmopt is irrelevant to the execution order
In my trials, the second dashboard prompt's value was always the one being shown. So I created a third dashboard prompt DBP3 set to value 3. Then all the prompts had 3 as their value. My conclusion is that DB prompts are executed in the order in which they are created. Some where in their metadata, there must be a sequence number or internal ID that grows each time a DB prompt is created. Then OBIEE uses this identifier to determine execution order.
Can anyone confirm or deny that?
Thanks!
-Joe
Edited by: Joe Bertram on Dec 5, 2009 10:44 AM

Hi Sunil,
Thanks for the reply. You are correct. Its seems that the dashboard prompts do execute asynchronously.
It turns out the reason why I was seeing newer dashboard prompts taking precendent over older dashboard prompts has to do with the cache. Apparently the last dashboard prompt in the cache, is the value all the prompts will have.
thanks!

Actionscript execution order with attachMovie statements

Hi I wonder if anyone's got any decent solutions to this...
Basically whenever I have a script generating an interface by
dynamically placing movie clips (using the attachMovie method), I
often need the actionscript of the attached movie clip to execute
before the rest of the code in the main script continues.
According to normal actionscript execution order, the current
script finishes before 1st frame actionscript of any attached
movies is executed, so say for example I had the following in frame
1 of my root timeline:
trace("start");
this.attachmovie("myMovieClip","movieClip1",this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace("end");
and the movie clip in my library with the linkage identifier
"myMovieClip" has the following on frame 1 of its timeline:
trace("middle");
Normally this would output:
start
end
middle
However I want it to output:
start
middle
end
The only appropriate way I've found so far to do this is to
have a function that is called on completion of the myMovieClip
actions, i.e. in the root timeline:
trace("start");
this.attachmovie("myMovieClip","movieClip1",this.getNextHighestDepth());
movieClip1.onLoaded=function() {
trace("end");
and in the timeline of the myMovieClip movie clip:
trace("middle");
this.onLoaded();
But the problem with this is that if I rather than the
trace("end"); statement I want a series of other commands,
some of them in turn using attachMovie methods, again wanting the
scripts to execute in the order above, I'm going to end up with a
lot of nested onLoaded functions and it's going to end up looking
pretty ugly!
Any thoughts?

you're welcome.
i generally load everything sequentially. if you don't want user's to possibly advance into the display far enough to see a load-delay, then you can use some preload display. here's an example i'm doing for a current client:
www.kglad.com/Files/tf
and click portfolio.
this client has a lot of images to load and wants them presented as soon as possible so i load them sequentially. that makes for an orderly display (though this client only wants a few images viewable on-stage at any one time).

Control subvi execution order

I have a test program with 2 subVIs and the first one simply creates a text file and writes a large string to it, the second one writes another string to the same file and then closes it. Is there a way to set execution order as the subVI that writes and then closes the file seems to be executing first. The subVis are independent from each other. Thanks.

No. Just wire the error out of the first VI to the error in of the second VI.
When you switch from a text-based language to LV, the hardest thing to realize is that the position on the diagram has essentially nothing to do with the order of execution. The dataflow concept is very powerful but quite foreign to text programming. The core point is that any node (function, subVI, structure,...) may begin to execute when data is present at ALL of its inputs. Similarly, the node's outputs are not available until the node completes its execution.

[SOLVED] Netctl script execution order?

The man pages are bit ambiguous, but this is what I'd like to know:
Given I'm connecting to wireless network "MyESSID" on interface "wlan0", what is the execution order of these scripts:
/etc/netctl/hooks/*
/etc/netctl/interfaces/wlan0
/etc/netctl/wlan0-MyESSID (ExecUpPost)
Given I'm disconnecting from the same interface/essid, what is the execution order again:
/etc/netctl/hooks/*
/etc/netctl/interfaces/wlan0
/etc/netctl/wlan0-MyESSID (ExecDownPre)
Some of my wireless networks need proxies, and others don't.
I'd like to start/stop Dropbox on connect/disconnect of any network (but only after the proxies are set)
Thanks in advance!

Added the feature request to the netctl github page.
Since the hooks/interface scripts are sourced instead of passed to a subshell, they have access to previously-defined variables. At the time of this writing, when netctl sources it's hooks and interface scripts the following are already available in the environment:
$interface (ex: wlan0)
$profile (ex: wlan0-essid)
$action (ex: CONNECT, see wpa_actiond --help)
$ssid
Following the convention of prepending two-digit numbers to my scripts to enforce execution order, I have gotten pretty fine-grained control over my scripts and netctl actions
/etc/netctl/hooks/10-proxy.sh
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$profile" = "wlan0-companyESSID" ]
then
case "$action" in
"CONNECT"|"REESTABLISHED")
export http_proxy="http://proxy.company.com:8080"
unset http_proxy

Filter & init(), execution order....

I just started my Java servlet adventure, here are my questions
1) If I have a filter set up in my web.xml and also have code written in my servlet init() method (which is assoicated with the filter), would the filter program be called to do whatever it's supposed to do first? or the init() would still have to finish what it has to do first and then follow by the filter program?
2) If the filter is being called first, would servlet require the filter program to finish the whole operation before it returns to the init()?
3) Is there any documentation about the execution order of a servlet program (especially when it's related to the web.xml file)?
Many thx.
I understand I could write some programs to find out but I would need some java experts to prove that (even if I write the programs). So I thought I would just ask here anyway.

I just started my Java servlet adventure, here are my
questions
1) If I have a filter set up in my web.xml and also

program?Specifications: "The init method must complete successfully before the servlet can receive any requests. "
2) If the filter is being called first, would servlet
require the filter program to finish the whole
operation before it returns to the init()?Specifications: "The servlet container calls the init method exactly once after instantiating the servlet. " So I do not understand what you mean by "before it returns to the init()". If it is not the answer you expect, please redefine the question.
3) Is there any documentation about the execution
order of a servlet program (especially when it's
related to the web.xml file)? google for servlet lifecycle.
The order of the filters' execution is the one specified in web.xml.

Why does my program run fine in highlight execution, but not normally?

When I highlight execution, the program runs fine, but when I run the program normally, nothing happens. (I believe the program is stuck at the initialize cam vi). If someone could help me out, I'd be very thankful

intensity10.vi ‏139 KB

The first troubleshooting technique I did was to add several "waits" throughout the program, particularily with the loops. I learned the problem was actually with the hardware itself and the camera mode. The camera must take an empty frame before it can store the image, thus the for loop needed to be replaced with a while loop.
However, after fixing the program using boolean logic, 2 of the buttons disappear on my front panel during use (which I will have to further troubleshoot). Thank you!

Execution order - group by and order by

is there any execution order when we use group by and order by together in single query ?

BOL: "Logical Processing Order of the SELECT statement
The following steps show the logical processing order, or binding order, for a SELECT statement. This order determines when the objects defined in one step are made available to the clauses in subsequent steps. For example, if the query processor can bind to
(access) the tables or views defined in the FROM clause, these objects and their columns are made available to all subsequent steps. Conversely, because the SELECT clause is step 8, any column aliases or derived columns defined in that clause cannot be referenced
by preceding clauses. However, they can be referenced by subsequent clauses such as the ORDER BY clause. Note that the actual physical execution of the statement is determined by the query processor and the order may vary from this list.
1. FROM
2. ON
3. JOIN
4. WHERE
5. GROUP BY
6. WITH CUBE or WITH ROLLUP
7. HAVING
8. SELECT
9. DISTINCT
10. ORDER BY
11. TOP"

Query: Module Execution Order

Hi Experts,
I've a query on the execution order of module execution. Say my requirement is File (with FCC) to File (with FCC) and I need to write a module at both sender and receiver end due to some business requirement. My questions are
1. On the sender side, does sender adapter User defined module gets executed before the sender Standard adapter module? If so, what would be the format of data available to the user defined module (XML data after file content conversion) ??
2. Similar query, but for the receiver channel (receiver adapter modules execution order).
Please explain the nature and order of execution of the adapter modules and the format of data available to the User Defined Modules.
Thanks,
Hussain.

Hi Hussain,
So, does that mean the input data to sender custom module is of Text format ie. the whole text file in text format (not in XML format) ? - Yes
Also, can the order of the modules be changed i.e Can custom module be specified and executed later Standard module?? I suppose No but still wanted a confirmation. - Only in synch communication, when you have sender comm channel, there if you have a reciver custom module, then in sender comm channel in module tab, it will be specified after standard module..............But for asnych communication, where you will have a reicever comm channel, there you will specify your custom module before standard module.
Hi Prateek,
I think that the input to the custom module would be xml created after content conversion. - No, the file will be input as plain text file and in your custom module you will create a XML document for your sender msg.........Similar is the case when you have a excelsheet file as input, in it you have your excel file data as input and you create a XML document in your custom module.
