Remotely controlling a MInuteman Power Strip without the internet tool kit.

We are attempting to control a Minuteman RPM power strip using LabView Vi's but we do not have the internet tool kit. We wish to write a program that automatically controls the power strip if a certain count becomes too high. Are there any suggestions on how to do this?

Hey Harrison!
The first step to controlling the RPM power strip would be looking at how it is connected to our controller.  Are you using GPIB? Serial? USB?  Or are you using a digital IO device to control the power strip?  For most cases, you can use our VISA calls to control.  But again, you will have to first figure out what form factor you are using to connect to the power strip.

  • Is it safe to use the power adapter without the grounding pin?

    Is it safe to use the power adapter without the grounding pin?
    Last time I unplugged my power adapter the grounding pin stayed in the wall socket. Is it safe to use it with just the 2 prongs?

    Is it safe to use the power adapter without the grounding pin?
    No. If a short circuit occurs, it may cause the case of the computer or other device to build up an electric charge. The grounding pin absorbs any charges generated this way; without it, someone touching the device may get shocked.

  • Can I control a network of Macs across the internet with ARD?

    Hi,
    Can I control a network of Macs across the internet with ARD?
    I seem to only be able to control one mac at a time. Am I missing something?
    Thanks
    Matt

    To be able to connect to a workstation from outside it's network, the ports that ARD uses must be open on both ends of the connection. ARD uses ports 3283 and 5900 so those must be open.
    If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
    ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need to install VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while VNC servers can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
    Remote Desktop: How to specify a port number for a VNC client
    to connect.
    The only other options are: 1) to run the ARD administrator on a workstation on the network, and then take control of that system from outside, either via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a virtual private network (VPN) so that when you connect from outside, your admin system is officially part of the local network.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to get a true "full screen" view without the edit tools?  The help manual promises such a view.

    How do I get a true "full screen" view in the new version of Iphoto without the edit tools showing?  Weirdly enough, the help manual promises such a "full" view, which was always available in my earlier version of Iphoto.
    Thanks, in advance.

  • Candy crush won't work without the internet but it did before

    Candy crush won't work without the internet but it did before

    Make sure you have the latest version of QuickTime (7.6.6) installed - if this is missing or out of date there may be no audio output from iTunes (including, but not limited to, playback through Bluetooth devices) or playback may be of poor quality.
    Also check iTunes' Play Audio Using setting in Edit > Preferences > Playback (you will have to restart iTunes for any changes to take effect).  In most cases selecting Direct Sound addresses playback issues when Windows Audio Session is active (though some users have reported the reverse),
    If neither of these solves your problem try installing this alternate version: iTunes 12.1.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards).  The "for older video cards" label is a little misleading, as this also fixes some playback issues, QuickTime and Outlook interoperability errors, and problems with other third-party applications.

  • Is there any blog or examples to handle the errors without using ESB tool kit.

    Hello,
    I have been trying to work with error handling since last week but I dont understand how to construct the error message. Is there any blog or examples to explain handle the errors step by step from scratch without using ESB tool kit.Can anybody help me out.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can use option 3 to construct the error message inside orchestration.
    Before using a BizTalk XML Message inside an orchestration, it must first be constructed. In fact this is just populating the message with XML. If there is an attempt to use this message before it is constructed, the above error will come. Some messages
    come pre-constructed, such as messages that originate from a send port
    There are several ways to construct a message inside an orchestration:
    Create a new message from an existing message using BizTalk map
    Assign one message to other(i.e. creating a copy of an existing message)
    Creating a message with the help of a System.XML.XMLDocument variable
    We have to first declare an orchestration variable of type XmlDocument. Then in a message assignment shape, we need to do something like this:
    myxmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
    myxmlDoc.LoadXML("<somexmlhere></somexmlhere>")
    myMsgBeingConstructed = myxmlDoc;

  • Accessing PDF or Word docs without the internet

    Is there any way to save a PFD or Word document on iPad that can be accessed without the internet?

    yes.  When you view the doc (I am assuming it is coming to you from attached to an e mail)  touch it once to download it, then touch a second time to view it.  But if you make the second touch a long touch - hold it, an 'open in' box will appear, and you can select what app you want it opened in, and that will save the file to that app.  You can go in later - off line, and it will be there, associated with that app.

  • Free GPS? possible, without the internet?

    FR : Bonsoir,
    Avant d'investir dans l'achat d'un téléphone mobile Nokia, je voudrais être certaine d'une chose, qui ne m'a pas semblée assez claire dans la FAQ, qui m'a renvoyée ici. Je voulais que l'on confirme qu'il est possible d'utiliser gratuitement le GPS (pour ceux qui l'ont : tous ?), sans que l'on nous prélève, c'est-à-dire sans internet, car mon forfait dont je ne veux pas changer ne me le permettrait pas.
    SVP merci.
    ENG: Hello,
    Before I buy a new cell phone Nokia, I'd like to know whether the GPS could be used without the internet (that's to say, free), because I haven't enough money to spend on that. I've never read any clear answer to that.
    I do not want to pay for using the GPS.
    Please, thx.

    I seem to recollect that E71 was not bad using OVI Maps v3.03, whereas it's successor E72 using OVI Maps v3.04 is useless in this respect!
    If WLAN is not of importance which probably not the case if avoiding data costs, the 5230 is remarkably good value as a navigator.

  • Why can't I print to a Zebra 2746e using the report tool kit?

    I have read on here how peoople have printed barcodes from LV by sending commands directly to a zebra printer. I am using LV8.2.1 on a windows xp computer. I am sending EPL2 messages to the printer using the report tool kit, but all I get is a couple of line feeds. If I send the commands from a command prompt by coping a test file to the printer port it prints fine. Any thoughts. I have attached my program.

    I tried your code against my printer and it works as advertised. Can you print to other printers with it?
    By the way, when assembling a string you should use the Format Into String function instead of a string concatenator with a bunch of inputs. It takes up less room and is easier to interpret when troubleshooting.

  • How to pair a new remote for Apple TV First Gen Without the Old Remote?

    We bought the first generation apple tv when it first came out. When we got it, it came with the old small plastic remote. A few years back we lost the plastic remote and decided to one of the new metal remotes but 1 problem. We can pair the new remote with the old apple tv without the old remote.
    If anyone knows a work around to this problem... that would be great. Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

    While renting/buying films on itunes is all well and good, my wireless capacity is poor, if i buy airport extreme, without connecting it to the internet, will it stream my films on itunes from the PC to apple TV?

    ...if i buy airport extreme, without connecting it to the internet, will it stream my films on itunes from the PC to apple TV?
    Yes. An Internet connection is not required. However, of course, the AirPort or your Apple TV will not be able to stream content from the Internet.

  • Is there a way to perform a clean install without the Internet on the computer that my iPhone is backed up on?

    I don't have Internet on my PC that my iPhone is backed up to. Without connecting it to the Internet, how can I perform a clean install? Since iOS 7 my battery life has been crap, I've tried everything except a clean install, so this is my last resort but I wanna make sure I can do it before I wipe my phone.

    Installing iOS requires an Internet connection, there is no way around this.
