Remote testing of USB Peripheral Communications

There are products that do USB loopback testing or do USB diagnostics from a DOS mode boot. If I could run a utility from a DOS prompt that provided diagnostics I could parse that'd be better. Microsoft also has a utility USB View which sounds promising, but it provides status with screens and nothing parseable from what I can tell.
My challenge is to connect to an embedded system's various USB ports from the host PC conducting the tests and determine whether each of the ports is working. I need something more like an API that I can call functions from within LabView and determine programmatically whether each port is functioning. Sending some simple commands with responses would be enough. Has anyone any ideas on whether this could be done from LabView or am I facing some lengthy API function calling to accomplish this? Other approaches are also worth considering if they meet my limitations.

How about plugin a thumb drive, wait a few seconds and let LabVIEW scan your computer for a file on the root of the drive. If it finds it then port works, if it doesn't then it doesn't.

Using existing c code for usb-hid communication in labview

Hello,
I want to write a simple temperatrue logger using labview and a external hardware which communicates over usb-hid. The external hardware uses an ATMEL 90USB162 µC and DS18B20 sensors.
Link to the hardware:
http://www.diamex.de/dxshop/USB-Temperatur-Sensor-Tester-fuer-DS18B20
The source of a a simple command line tool is available (see attachement), which reads out the temperature value of the connected sensors.
Is it possible to include this c-code in the labview application to simplify the communication?
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Michael

I'm not that experienced at this personally (in terms of compiling C code into DLLs), but I believe the process you need to go down to call your C code in LabVIEW is to compile the C code into a DLL which you can then call from LabVIEW using a Call Library Function node (or you can try to use the "Import Shared Library" wizard to automatically generate SubVIs).

Gamry potentiostat and USB 6008 communication

I dont really ever do any labview programming from scratch so my understanding of it is very basic. However I need to do the following and I was wondering what would be the best way to go about it.
1. Run Gamry potentiostat (ref600) which at the end will send a digital signal out.
2. USB-6008 used to read the digital signal
3. Put a delay of around 10seconds.
4. Run "motor control" VI.
5. Put a delay of around 10seconds.
6. Send a digital signal out.
7. Gamry reads the digital signal and goes back to step 1.
run this N number of times.

Hi Wes,
Thanks for the reply. It looks like I need something very similar to Simple state machine. However, I am using labview8.6 and was wondering if a similar example is available for the older version.
Thanks again,

Viewing Layouts on Remote/Testing Server

This is a beginner question.
I'm trying to view Layouts and/or Content Holders on the Remote/Testing Server out of Dreamweaver so I can edit them independently, but I just get 404 messages.
When I create a new page in BC, I am prompted for a Page Title which subsequently creates a Page URL and File name. The Page URL by default has no extension. The File Name has an extension.
If I view that new page on the Remote Server I get a 404 message. If I edit the Page URL to include the File Name extension, I have no problem on the Remote Server.
Now for example: In File Manager I have the following directory structures:
http://www.MySite.com/_System/ContentHolders/layout.html
http://www.MySite.com/Layouts/SystemMessages/SecureZoneAccessDenied-CA.html
Why is it that I can't view these pages on the Remote Server?
Is BC creating a default URL for these Layout pages that isn't the same as the file name it gives them? or no URL at all?
Thanks,
Cam

Hey there. Those are not pages. They are system generated layouts and for content holders only render when the module issued for that content holderin a pager template.
Ile extensionsyouseefor these are needed to work via FTP and understnd HTML formatting etc.
Zone access denied is a system message and will render when you create a login and enter a incorrect password.
Actual pages do not need agile extension.
Loin into the admins floor around. Look and pages, system layouts and templates, apply templates to pages. get a feel of things there as well to help get abetted understanding.

Configuring remote/testing server

Hello Adobe users!
I am currently creating an e-commerce website (I'll be
creating .asp pages) for my year-end project, and I want to
configure my Dreamweaver CS3 in order to have a remote/testing
server folder (so that I can preview the pages). I'm using my home
PC to create this website, and I'm currently using Windows Vista
Business (32-bit).
Do you guys have any idea how to configure my home PC (either
through installation of third-party softwares, or through
configuration of my network) so that my remote/testing server
folder works? I'll also need help on the URL prefix configuration.
Please try to keep your instructions simple, because I'm not
exactly good with complex terms.

First, see if Internet Information Server is installed on
your computer (do
you have an Inetpub directory in the top level of your C
drive?). It is not
installed by default on XP and I'm pretty sure it's probably
not with Vista
either. If it's not, you'll install it by going to Start/Set
Program Access
and Defaults/Add/Remove Windows Components with your Vista CD
in the drive.
In the ensuing menu, select Internet Information Server and
it will install
for you. Open your browser and type in
http://localhost to see if the
default IIS page comes up .. if it does, the server is
working. If not, in
your Control Panel, go to Administrative Tools/Services and
see if World
Wide Web Publishing is running .. you may need to start the
server.
ASP should be configured by default or at least it was in XP.
Once done,
you have a testing server on the computer which you access at
http://localhost/nameofsite
and you put your files for the given site in the
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\nameofsite folder. You will probably need
to use Windows
Explorer to give the proper permissions to your site by
clicking on the site
folder in Explorer, right clicking Properties, clicking
Security and giving
the IUSR_ComputerName (Internet Guest User) permissions to
read, write and
execute in order to get the functionality to work.
Once all that is done, you use the Testing Server tab of the
Site Definition
to set the path to your files on the testing server, specify
ASP as the
server model and use
http://localhost/nameofsite/
as the testing URL.

Remote Test and Demo Systems

Would like comments from prior users of Remote Test and Demo Systems (or DPA?) where you get remote access to an SAP maintained system for the purpose of testing your application's interfaces with SAP ERP and/or BW.
- how do you obtain this access
- how long does this process take
- what's the cost
- how well does the system work
- do you get access to only the built-in data or you can create your own.

Hello Veeren,
Hope this helps:
Q. How to obtain access ?
Just contact the ICC guys <a href="http://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/sdnservices/icc">http://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/sdnservices/icc</a> and they will help you out with this. We had a lovely experience with the consultants for our XI Content Certification.
Q. How long does this process take ?
In our case, it was less than a week.
Q. What's the cost ?
We were fortunate to do it during the promotional period and did not have to pay anything. The ICC consultant would help you with the details.
Q. How well does the system work ?
The system was quite fast and the access is via ITS / SAP GUI for HTML.
Q. Do you get access to only the built-in data or you can create your own ?
Besides the XI Server, it was an IDES system in our case and we were also able to create data.
All the best for your certification.
Regards,
Parag.

How can i reactivate a usb peripheral on mac osx 10.6.8

Hi i'm a frenchman, i'd lite to know how can i reactivate a usb peripheral wich has been deactivate by the computer because it run most energy, thanks.

The idea is that restarting it will reset the ports. This is not a common solution because ports usually work and do not require such attention. It is likely the port is defective. It may well be a poor contact.
I don't know what type of computer you have, but It would likely have Firewire ports as well, which will work just as well as USB. So, even if you have one less USB port than you want, you can make use of the Firewire port instead.

Remote test

I need help. My ipod had the words "wheel test" on the screen. I played around with it and now it says remote test. How do I get out of this?

This is the iPod's "Diagnostic Mode". It is used to troubleshoot iPod issues.
Read the procedure on how to make it appear/disappear here, so you can avoid it in the future:
http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml

Remote test message !

hii.... my iPod's screen is frozen ! It shows a message " Remote Test" and "press Remote keys"....
I already tried to reset it, I did plug it on my PC and used the energy cable!
Could anybody help me ?

Venkat,
I hope the channel which you have created in Remote TP configuration is a AS2 channel. Just create an agreement and deploy it. Enqueue a message from back-end to IP_OUT_QUEUE (in SOAINFRA schema) with AQ headers and B2B will send it to the partner.

CS3 / CS4 connection to remote/testing servers times out.

Hello,
I have 2 questions:
1. Can DreamWeaver be configured to bind once for multiple ldap authentication transactions?
2. Can DreamWeaver be configured to increase it's timeout when connecting to remote/testing servers?
Details below ...
============
Setup
Client: DW CS3/4 clients on WIN XP
Server: Suse Linux 2.6 (SP3)
Protocol: WebDAV via apache 2.2, LDAP authentication
Problem description
Dreamweaver Clients fail to connect to remote/testing servers during peak usage hours.
Analysis
Connecting to the remote/testing servers requires approximately 900 database transactions to test user privileges for content, simplified as the following:
900 x [ bind + lookup + unbind ]
During peak hours, this process can sometimes take upwards of 30 seconds to complete. In these cases, Dreamweaver times out (at approximately 40 seconds) and then user must try the process again.
Possibe Solutions
a) Increase cache size in apache.
This has been done, but we have a large client base, and with 900 look-ups per user, we hit the ceiling of an acceptable cahce size. This solution does not work for us.
b) Change DreamWeaver authentication to only bind once.
Binding 900 times for 900 separate lookups is wasteful. Can DreamWeaver be configured to bind once and have multiple transactions?
[ bind + [ 900 x lookup ] + unbind ]
c) Change DreamWeaver timeout value
Currently DreamWeaver times out on connection attempts at about 30-40 seconds. Can DreamWeaver be configured to timeout at a different value?
============
Thanks!
Graham

Thanks for the super fast response...
Dummy me... It was the firewall on the Oracle host XP box that was the problem
Appreciate the help
Thanks again

I appreciate Adobe teams efforts to reproduce the issue and acknowledged it as a Bug in AIR
But now I am waiting on them to come back with an answer - Is it going to be fixed in future versions? Is there a work around?
Is adobe even considering this as an Issue? What are the next steps after acknowleding the issue?
I hope I am not too aggressive but I also want Adobe to understand the urgency of the situation when it comes to a product release.
I have experimented with couple of work arounds but none seem to work.
If anyone has come across this issue please comment.
Thanks,

My ipod has "remote test" on screen

My ipod has remote test on screen and will not respond. At the bottom of screen it has insert HP. Has anyone heard of this? Ipod is a photo Ipod 60g
Thank you

Is this the one you mentioned
Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.

IPod mini stuck on remote test screen

Hi
I dropped my iPod mini and now it is stuck on a screen that reads:
remote test
HP OK
Press Remote Keys
The rest of the screen is greyed out.
I don't have a remote and the ipod won't do anyhting

Have you tried resetting it?
May take several attempts and is best done connected to power.

Stuck on remote test!!!

how do i get out o fa remote test. nothing happens. my ipod wont turn off and its ruining my battery life. no buttons will work. please help me!!!!

What did you do to get to where you are stuck now?? If your buttons don't work then I suggest letting your battery run out completely until your ipod turns off and then plug it into the wall, see what happens.

Put files... local- remote test- remote production

Using DW 8, i can't get my local files to be put to the
remote test server. They go directly to the remote production
server. The test and production sites are on different servers.
Ideally i would like to be able to put to the test server, review
the changes, and then put the files from the test server to the
production server. Is this possible to go from local to test, then
test to production?
Please let me know if this is possible and how to do this. Or
point me to any documentation that may cover this exact
issue.

It is possible to go from local to test. And from local to
remote.
If you want to go from test to remote, you'll have to create
a second site
definition with the test folder as the local root.
