RSSI... can i get better than -80 dBm ???

i would like to know if i should be able to get better than RSSI = -80 dBm (signal strength)... i have four bars (usb ec168 modem) whenever verizon is running at it's best here in northeast oklahoma... a former alltel region... my understanding is that RSSI = -80 dBm is the level that is described as "good enough for Rev A / evdo"...
in my research of this subject googling all over... i find that some people will get RSSI in the 70s and 60s... lower being better / stronger signal... can someone tell me why i cannot get these kinds of levels since i often have four bars showing 90-100% ???
when my RSSI drops to less than -80 dBm... higher values such as -85, etc... this is when my evdo drops to 1xrtt and even DO...
appreciate any enlightenment on this subject... thx!
*obviously, verizon (if you are listening...), since i am paying for 3g broadband... i would like to have 3g broadband, rather than the 1xrtt and DO that happens so very often, evenings, during the week!

Understood. Actually, if you mean the towers are neither VZ or Alltel because the carrier name is not listed, it won't be. Your service may not be from a tower per se either. If there are antennas in the area, that may be where your signal is from.
The towers are listed by the owner and the carriers lease space on them along with the antennas. The sure way to tell is to use your cell phone if you have a VZ phone and do a field test with it since you have a desktop and cannot move it about. The closer you get to the "site" of your signal source, the stronger your signal. evdoforums.com can assist with a list of codes for each brand of cell or smartphone to help you determine this. I also have this if you may need.
Actually, -80dbm is not a bad signal and from my experience, a small percentage get better than that. The best possible is -50.
I wonder why this is even an issue since you have not reported any problem with speeds, connection or any problems that may be associated with the signal strength. If there truly are only 3 towers and no antennas in your area then the reason is more than likely due to congestion.
I have also discovered that the signals, connections, etc. are all improving and doing an update for your PRL if that is possible through your software may just be the fix.
However, if you are insistant on spending money on antennas and/or amps, etc. when the signa isn't anywhere near abnormal, that is your choice. Keep this in mind if you do, you may not have a gain in more than 10 dbm if you have any at all.
So have a great day and good luck.

I am running a strain gage test and can't get more than 1000 samples

A formor employee left a strain gage VI that I am attempting to reuse but no matter what I do I can,t get more than 1000 samples before needing to restart the loop. In the task timing (of NI-DAQmx) I have set the acquisition mode to N Samples and the clock settings to read 65000 samples at 25 Hz. There is a DAQmx timing(sample clock) VI that resets to finite samples and 1000 per channel when I close it but I have reset it to 65500 continious samples and left it open to no avail. There is a rate input to this sample clock on the front window that I have tried setting to several different rates to no avail. The Vi will run about 15 seconds, collect 1000 samples and then ask to verify the file location to save the data to. Upon verifying the file location the VI will run another 15 sec. loop before stopping for verification again.
If the loop is stopped rather thanhaving the file verified an error is listed:
Error-200278 occurred at DAQmx Read (Analog 1d WFm NChan NSamp).vi:1
The given possible reason given is: attempted to read a sample beyond the final sample acquired.
When I stop attempting to run the VI the block diagram opens with a dark block around file creation block. I need this VI to run for 10 min. collecting samples at about 25/sec. Can someone help me figure out what I am doing wrong?
I have made screen shots of the VI and the error code to assist finding the incorrect programing.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you,
I was just thinking about being able to increse the size of the doc. for better visability. I have tried working with the rate input for the DaQmx for the sample clock and it does change the frequency of sampling, but I still get just the 1000 samples. I have included Jpegs this time. I have tried to exppand the two DAQ assistants that arn't expanded but am unable to, I also am unable to find a "propertys" command to open them up and see what exactly they do. The nested while loop for output also seems strange to me. Maybe I would be better to attempt a new program but being new to the language I thought using an existing program might be best.

Re: On 105 mbps plan but never get better than 22 mbps

I am living in this SAME nightmare! Help. I spent ALL day yesterday 8 hours on the phone with many many different people, some who were just plain RUDE and others who all contradicted each other. Sent me to get a new modem and we did that, speed still like the above.Called today, got a decent guy he tried helping for a while then phone cut out. No call back.UMMM really? Then yesterday during Chat, they guy just shut me off.I have 105 per my preferred bundle. Really want to get that. SOOOO Angry, if they did NOT have MONOPOLY on my community I would switch. I however have NO one to switch to. SO unamerican. Poor service, HIGH prices. I left service center in tears as I watched elderly couple hobble out on their canes wondering how they can pay the increase to their bill. That is just NOT right.

How can I get more than one firewre port ?

Hello,
how can I get more than one firewire port ? I'd like to be able to connect my canon HV30 camera as well as my firewire external HD at the same time so I can use firewire to upload the videos I've taken. Is this possible?
TIA

Hi ginestre-
Many FireWire hard drives have 2 firewire ports so that you can daisy-chain devices and connect the camera that way.
Daisy-chaining is not the most reliable method, but it works, so you could buy a FireWire hub.

Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or Alt+B to open the Bookmarks menu and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
* "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
* "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of that browser page.

Can not get more than one computer to access internet

using airport and can not get more than one computer to access internet wirelessly... currently airport is in bridge mode and internet sharing is set to "off" in network preferences...
help - what should the settings be in airport and network preferences?

are using internet connection as dhcp?
Yes.
bridge mode seems to only work with pppoe connection to internet which is what my set up is
But you've never said why you're using bridge mode (I'm not), which -- as I've explained before -- is probably the reason you can connect only 1 client at a time.
If you'll setup the AX as a regular, main base station, connect using DHCP, and share IP addresses, you should be fine.

If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

How can I get more than 5 items in my Recent Projects list?

After a rather horrendous incident with trying to do a series of videos all in one project using bins and shared media and a savefile that got *WAYYY* out of hand (20 minutes to load the file)- which I believe was tied to importing media from another .proj file, I have switched to a more modular approach with anywhere from 2-5 projects in each project and now a collection of around 15-25 projects on the go. Most of these are "work on a chapter, then change to another project while waiting for footage for another project" and several of them share pieces including multicam segments and sync'd audio.
Rather than importing from another project, I am using Control-C, switch to a different project file, then paste in. This isn't the most "Adobe Professional" style way of doing things, but considering that I lost several hours to trying to recover from the last project, even when I only needed to spend 20 minutes pumping out a rough cut, I'm not going back to that method until my next computer upgrade and until I begrudgingly switch to CC in around 1-1.5 year's time.
So the issue that I'm faced with is that I'm often using the Open Recent Project flyout and having 5 projects on that list is just not enough to be remotely useful.
In MS Office, the list is quite long and even in photoshop, I can get 10. That's enough for my Photoshop, but I switch projects using the Recent Projects list in Premiere a LOT more often. I could just use my explorer windows to jump around, but given that I have 5-6 explorer windows open per project most of which are folders crammed with footage, PSD stills and peak files, plus other non-video things I'm working on right now, that's really not the simplest way to navigate at a glance.
How can I get 10, 20 or 25 items in that flyout list instead of mucking about with 5?
I run Adobe Production Premium CS6.

I see a lot of people not reading the circumstances of what I said.
I did mention that currently I use the "explorer" method and it's kind of clumsy. Although I liked the idea of using shortcuts. I had thought about moving the files, but didn't think about shortcuts... considering everything on my desktop is a shortcut, I'm really not sure why I didn't think of that.
But I did mention that I almost always have anywhere from 12-15 windows open at any given time in my explorer. I am involved with management of 4 different companies right now, two of which are in startup mode. Videos are important for me, but not my only duty. These windows only go down when I shut down my computer, which happens on average once every 4 months. It is not a problem on a reasonably capable system.
Still, for a project of currently 23 files (just got increased to 28 and expected to rise to 32-35), and because I have had project files go sour on me, I keep some hierarchy and because I don't have 100% creative control over all my projects, I also occasionally have to do re-overs ie when a specific style of writ is nixed by a boss or customer. Those 23 project files also have version iterations.
So navigating 'at a glance' through a file explorer isn't always the most practical.
In the end, I'll probably try to find some time to re-organize my file structure using shortcuts.
Still, given the number of 'recent files' can be modified or is larger than 5 in: Windows Start Menu, Recent documents, Adobe PDF recent documents, Adobe Photoshop, All Office suite programs...
It's just weird that there's only 5 for a program intended for the kind of people that work on projects somewhat larger in scope than "hey, we took the dog to the park the other day".
@Jerry Klaimon - not sure what version of Premiere you're using, I'm using CS6 with Production Premium CS6. Recent files only shows 5. Photoshop shows 9. For my current workload, I'd probably want 10-12 and it would be nice if they could go to 20 or more IMHO. Look at History states. History states default to 20. I usually set this to 35 whenever I set up any user's computer. It's easy to choose what suits me from the preferences menu. I don't see why they wouldn't have the same idea for 'recent files'
@anyone who thinks I'm stupid - please feel free to insult me. A forum scuffle is often a great way to get the attention of moderators who might be in a position to pass this idea on to someone who could do something about it. I'm also anal, stubborn, holier-than-thou and not-as-smart-as-i-think-i-am if you want some ideas to get started .
@Steven Gotz - you are quite correct that asking is important. Probably a smarter thing to do before pestering the devs with feature requests is to thoroughly check to see if it is in fact already existing. Adobe products are famous for having features that nobody knows about. Most of the questions I have that Google or Lynda.com didn't answer have been answered here in the forums. Then once I've seen that a few hundred pairs of eyes sharper than mine have also come up with nothing, then perhaps it might be worthwhile sending in a feature request. In this case, I will probably toss a feature request in later, but I'll probably just use your idea of keeping a master project folder with shortcuts.
@MarkMapes - I do not have a problem loading files. Project files load just fine for me. But I have one project file that has a problem that loads a HUGE amount of RAM and takes nearly 20 minutes to open. It even takes almost 8 minutes to close it. It was acting as my master file with everything nested in sequences and I needed to spend a whole afternoon to pull those sequences out using copy-paste because bringing them in via Import Sequence brought the problem into the new file. I would file that under "glitched save files" rather than "slow loading".
@Jon-M-Spear - good idea too - although I did cringe a bit at the suggestion of putting things on the desktop. I have bad habits and I work very hard to try to make other people who have worse habits in this company to try to get them to not keep anything on the desktop. In fact, it's probably my favorite thing about Windows 7 that you can have a clear or nearly totally clear desktop.
Thanks for your comments folks.

Can I get more than one account on iphone microsoft exchange server

Hi all,
I was trying to get more than one account on iphone microsoft exchange server for mail, but it seems to only accept one. Is this true with everyone else out there. I guess I am one of the few people with more than one email account that uses microsoft exchange. I would love to have the convience of accessing them through iphone mail but it seems that I will be forced to use safari for the other two by typing owa... in the url.
any workaround to the one email account per iphone policy??

Yu can only have one Exchange Server account per device. This is true to iPhone and any Windows mobile device in the market. The work around is to set your other accounts that reside on an Exchange server using IMAP or POP settings as you used to do before the Version 2 update allowed you to sync directly to the Exchange Server. This methode will allow you to add as many accounts as you want or have.

Adobe Web Gallery- can't get more than 10 images to show up

I am trying to create a Web Gallery from within Bridge (CS4), but I'm not having any luck getting more than 10 images to show up when I create the Gallery, even though I'm selecting nearly 50 images (all in the same folder) that I'd like to be in the Gallery. Does anyone know if there's a limit to the number of images that can be used in an AWG? I can't seem to find ANY documentation that sheds light on that subject. All I know is that no matter WHAT I do, I can only get Bridge to create a Gallery with TEN images!! Very frustrating. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Assuming the obvious that in Bridge content panel you have selected all the
files you want in the web galery
First try a purge cache for folder using the menu Tools/purge cache for
folder when having Bridge pointed to the problem folder.
Second try a reset preferences with option key while restarting Bridge.
I wish that were the case - it's only outputing up 10 images...

Can Labview be better than vendor software for Zymark robot operation?

I am trying to decide on alternate software to for programing Zymark Zymate and Benchmate systems. Thank you.

Of course my first reaction is, "Of course you should use LabVIEW." But I may be a bit biased in that direction. It's a question that's really up for debate.
Since LabVIEW is nothing more than a programming language, it can be both better and worse than the vendor software. It really depends on how you code the application.
I know nothing about either of the systems you mention, but from the other response, it seems they just rely on serial commands to operate. LabVIEW is very good at serial communication. However, if the vendor software does everything you need, then you probably wouldn't gain much from writing your own version in LabVIEW, or any other language for that matter.
However, if the vendor software is lacking some features you want or nee
d to use, or maybe you just don't like the user interface, then it would be worth a shot at making your own. What language you use should really depend on which one you are most comfortable with. If you've been coding in some flavor of C for years, then you may some problems throwing something together quickly in LabVIEW to do what you want. On the other hand, if you're new to programming, then LabVIEW would be a good choice. It's very easy to learn the basics and have something running quickly, but there's more than enough depth to the environment to make a very powerful program.

How can I get better looking slow mo??

Right now when I retime my vdieos in fcpX the movement gets blurred and looks like sh** its really annoying. How can i get my videos slowed down without losing the sharpness, and by getting rid of the motion blur?? CHEERS!!

Getting good, or great results depends quite a lot on your source video.
Use a tripod, not hand held. (or attached to your surf board)
Use progressive.
Shoot 60p fps and conform it to either 30 or 24 fps. (50% or 40%)
Shoot with a high shutter speed, at least double your frame rate.
Try not to pan, a moving subject with a moving background is more difficult to slow down.
Optical flow can improve things, but that depends a lot on what you're trying to slow down. Products like Twixtor have much more control than FCP X's optical flow option, but I don't think they have a plug-in for FCP X.
Some of the best examples you'll see on the web (really slow stuff like 10%) are typically shot with a DSLR, on a tripod, really high shutter speed and only one moving object. (person flying off a skate board)
If you don't have the option to control what and how the video is shot, then you really won't get very good results. I would suggest only slowing it down 50%, or conform from 60 to 30. But if it's interlaced, then you really only have 30 frames to work with. (or 60 fields)
