Run 2 vi at the same time

Hi
How do I run 2 or more vi's at the same time, thus allowing me to interact with both without the need to close one. What I have is one main vi that allows me to manipulate data on a particular plot. I then what other vi's to pop up and stay open when needed showing the same data but on represented in a different way. Therefore as I change the data one my main vi I want it to show up simultaneously in the other plot/vis.
any help?
Thanks

See the two attached vi's. Download them into a common folder. Ref1 is the main. Run it. It calls Ref2. Ref 2 will stay open until the stop button on Ref1 is pressed. While Ref2 is open, change the numeric control on Ref1. Notice how the data display on Ref2 changes to match the main vi. You can do this with as many subvi's as you want. Just pass the numeric and boolean references to each.
This is just a simple example showing the use of control references. If you need to do other things in your main, you will have to open the subvi's dynamically as smercurio has mentioned. Search for dynamic launching to learn more about this.

How to make two PCs (one local, one remote) control the same running vi at the same time?

Hi Labviewers,
I have a vi running, and two PCs are monitoring it, one is local and another one is remote.
I can see the remote front panel at the remote machine by using application property node, but it seems only one of the two PCs has the control of the running VI at the same time.
Is there any way to make the two PCs both have the control of the same vi at the same time? Switching back and forth the control between two PCs is really annoying.
Thanks a lot for any help.
Anne

What exactly are you trying to control?
Perhaps another approach? You could use "Shared Variables" from LV 8.0 and have a copy of the writer VI on each of the control PCs edit the value on the host PC. But as soon as I post, someone is going to talk about multiple writers to shared resources being a bad idea.... so just be careful or you may try to edit a value that has already been changed.

Prevent Jobs Running Twice at the same time

Hi all, I would like to know if they are any ways to prevent a release job to run twice at the same time. For exemple, if I create a job to run every 5 minutes and the job did not finish after 5 minutes, the scheduler will start the same job agains. This situation causing us bad issues.
I double check the job start conditions in sm37 but I found nothing special.
Thanks for help

Hi Marc,
We use a workaround. We have asked our abap developpers to write a small utility report which checks if the job it is part of is already running and aborts the job if it is the case.
When we need a job which must absolutely run only once at the same time, we just add this utility as first step.

Maximum number of client that possible to running OSD at the same time?

How maximum number of client that possible to perform OS deployment from SCCM 2012 R2 at the same time?
Regards, Bar Waelah

It depends on your infrastructure and design.
My DP servers got mirrored mechanical disks and a Gbit nic. We like to run about 10 clients every 2 hours from them. That is enough time to apply our custom image, apply any extra appps and patches.
Since we got one of those servers on about 100 locations it means that in the best case I can deploy about 1000 systems every two hours.
That's my technical limit BUT that's not the real limit.
More important is how many users with newly installed systems can your organization handle. There will always be some machines that fails and needs to be fixed (how many non productive users can you have at the same time?). Some users will call hellpdesk
regardless of instructions, onscreen information, user training and so on. How many calls can your helpdesk handle? There will be requests for extra apps, changed screen resolution, left handed mice settings and so on, maybe printer configs? Same thing here
- how many of these cases can your support handle?
Those are the "soft" limiting factors and so far (been doing this for about 15 years now) the "soft" limits have always been lower than the technical limit

Multiple running queries at the same time

Hi!
I looked around (and RTM) for this but didn't find anything, so I'm asking here.
I have quite a few long running queries (data loading and such things, warehousing stuff), and I need to be able to run multiple queries/statements at the same time. In TOAD I can do this, start a procedure and while it is running I can do SQL statements in another session tab (it supports threaded sessions - it starts queries in their own background thread/session).
When I start a long running procedure or query in SQL Developer I can not do anything until the procedure execution finishes. Is there any way (setting/preference) to enable SQL Developer to be able to run multiple queries at the same time?
I really would like to move away from TOAD, but this is a major showstopper for me.
Thanx for any tips.
Alex

Hi!
This post is going to be a little longer, but I have to clarify things out.
I did not mean to throw any wild accusations, because I did my fair share of RTFM and searching the help. I can tell you that if you put any of these in the help search box:
session
non shared
non-shared
connection
concurrent <- I guess this one should yeld something
multiple
spawn
you won't find anything usefull, the article that comes closest, is this:
"Sharing of Connections
By default, each connection in SQL Developer is shared when possible. For example, if you open a table in the Connections navigator and two SQL Worksheets using the same connection, all three panes use one shared connection to the database. In this example, a commit operation in one SQL Worksheet commits across all three panes. If you want a dedicated session, you must duplicate your connection and give it another name. Sessions are shared by name, not connection information, so this new connection will be kept separate from the original."
It does not mention any spawning of non-shared connections from the current one, nor it does mention using a accelerator key combo. But since there could be written something about it, I guess you could call it a documentation bug, because it does not provide any clue to this functionality. The help is definitely of no help in this case. As you can see, I do not throw accusations without trying to find out something first. I guess if someone is not as deep into SQL Developer as you are, there is no way for him/her to know this.
OK, I tried your suggestion, and (sadly) it does not work as I suppose it should.
Here's what I did:
- start a new connection, and enter the following code in SQL Worksheet:
declare
j number;
begin
for i in 1..1000000
LOOP
j := sin(i);
end LOOP;
end;
As you can see, it doesn't do much besides holding the connection busy for a while when executed.
- start a new non-shared connection from the first one using CTRL-SHIFT-N (as you suggested) and put the following statement in the new SQL Worksheet (with "__1" appended to connection name)
select sysdate from dual;
- go to the first SQL Worksheet and execute the procedure
- while the procedure is executing, go to the second SQL Worksheet and hit F9.
The sysdate is returned as soon as the first SQL Worksheet finishes and not any sooner. It may run in separate session, but the result is not returned before the other session is finished doing what it is doing. I guess the correct behaviour would be to return the sysdate immediately.
I verified this behaviour repeating it 3 times starting with a new instance of SQL Developer, each time connecting to another schema and spawning the new non-shared session. The database used was Oracle 10.2.0.3 EE on RHEL 4 UPD3.
The concurrent execution lacks concurrency. The statements might be executed concurently on the database (i did not went the extra mile to verfiy this), but the returning of results is just not independent of other sessions. To the end user this is as much concurrent as it is serial execution.
I hope developers get this issue straightened out soon, as I said, I'd love to move away from Toad, but I'll have to wait until they fix this out.
Is there anything else that can be done to make it behave correctly?
Kind regards
Alex

Make 2 methods run at exactly the same time

Hi,
How can I make 2 mothds be executed at exactly the same time? Is it anything to do with the synchronized keywor?
Thanks.

You can't really.
Even in the case of two computers, you probably don't have control over how the OS will give Java CPU cycles, so even though you thing you're clicking at the same time, the methods may start at slightly different times.
Similarly , on a multi-CPU machine, you don't generally control how threads are apportioned among the CPUs, or when they get time.
How exact does "exactly" need to be? +/- 1 μs? +/- 1 ms? 100 ms?
Why do you need this?
Why do you think you need this? There may be another ay to acommplish your ultimate goal without needing two methods to start simultaneously, or close to it.

Two macs running garageband at the same time

Hi. I am using GarageBand on two Mac's at the same time and would like to know how I can record both parts of the tracks, I guess I'll have to use an external recording device of some sort but I do not know which or how I would set this up. Basically, I am playing a part of the song on one Mac and the other part on the other Mac and would like the two Mac's to be liked up to a seperate recording system so I can record the mix, hopw someone can help, thanks.

The biggest problem you are going to have is sync. There is no way to keep these two computers in sync unless you hook up some kind of KVM USB splitter for your keyboard. Both machines would need to be identical in setup or this will not work. Playback and record buttons need to be pressed at the exact same time. The mouse can be used to trigger events (such as record enable) to each computer. It is not a very elegant or pragmatic way of gaining more tracks.
The better way is to use a dual G5 with a big monitor.

Multiple scripts running at the same time?

Is there a way to have multiple scripts successfully running at the same time?
At the moment if I start a second script while the first one is still running, the second one completes successfully but the first one stops. This seems to be because the first one is no longer the active document once the second one opens so can't continue.
Is there another way to script things like this so that multiple can run independently at the same time? You might ask why I'd want to run two at the same time and not just wait, but i've setup an asp.net web form front end and having problems if two people click the button around the same time.
I'm guessing this isn't going to be possible and i'm going to have to look for ways of doing this in asp.net instead and somehow queue the requests so you have to wait longer if the script is already running?
Thanks,
Andy

I'm

This is correct. The scripting interface to PS is single-threaded so you will need to queue up requests.

Run CS3 and 8 at the same time on mac?

I want to download a trial version of the CS3 and run it, at
the same time, as my existing Dreamweaver 8 on my G5 Mac running
10.4.10. (It is NOT an Intel Mac.) There is a 30 day trial and this
way, in the downtime between projects, I can test out and use the
CS3 version and make sure it is stable on my system, learn to use
it a bit, set it up the way I would want it, but always be able to
cut back to 8 in a pinch if I have mission critical work that must
get done. I know 8 like the back of my hand and know nothing about
CS3 version, so I like the safety net of being able to run them
both.
Any issues with this? Is it possible? Will it break anything
- like with my stable and running CS2 apps and Acrobat 7?

You can have several versions of Dw on your system ( I have
Dw2004 up
to CS4 beta ) but you can only have one running at a time on
a
standard machine.

CS3 is rather stricter about code - so depending on how well
your code
validates - it may complain if there are any problems.
Bear in mind that CS4 may be released sometime in the next
few months
- there is no public info when that will be - so maybe better
to wait
for that.

JDev9i-Beta;How could I run two JSP applications in Jdev enviroment at the same time?

Hi,
I have two JSP applications located on different directories. I wanted to run both applications at the same time in Jdev enviroment. But the second one failed.
More info:
I successfully ran Application1, then minimized the browser and ran Application2, then again minimized the second browser. After I maximized the first browser(Application1) and tried to go thro pages, I received page not found. Because Jdev sat up the Class Path for the newer application(Application2) and looks for pages there. I believe thats why I could not run both at the same time. How could I get around of this?

hi,
can you provide more details on this. Are these jsp files part of the same project or different projects. I can not duplicate this issue. Please provide us more information.
Thank you

SCXI 1112 and 1302 doesn't run at the same time

Hi,
I have SCXI 1112 thermocouple input module, SCXI 1180 feedthrough panel , and a SCXI 1302 terminal block connected SCXI 1000 chassis with SCXI 1349 adapter. I am trying to measure voltage by using SCXI 1180&1302, and temperature by 1112 module at the same time. When chassis is on SCXI 1112 runs without a problem; however, voltage reading coming through SCXI 1349 makes no sense (plus I can't run them at the same time, LAbview gives an error). While the chassis' power is off, it is the other way around, SCXI 1349 runs smoothly.
In addition to that, a radiometer, connected to a power supply, is wired to SCXI 1302 terminal block. When power supply is on, SCXI 1112 module's temperature reading is 4 times higher than actual value. In other words, power supply effects the readings.
Could you please give me some advice to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Azra

One piece of the puzzle you left out is the DAQ card being used in the host computer.
Without looking at some specifics on the SCXI cards/connectors you are using, I will comment you must be careful when you are using an 1180 feedthrough module. Keep in mind, the SCXI chassis is Signal Conditioning -- it's nothing without the DAQ.
I would recommend you back up a few steps, simplify the setup and test each input channel from MAX -- making sure you aren't overlapping channels between the 1180 to the DAQ and the SCXI chassis. Remember, most data from the SCXI chassis comes in on a single channel of the DAQ through the 1349.
Hope this might help.

Running two EXE at the same time

I have two EXE.
I cannot run both at the same time.
What should I am doing wrong?

Yes, these are two different applications with different names.
I double-click on the first EXE and I see the start-up form. Good so far.
I double-click on the second EXE and I don't see the start-up form. Instead the "icon" for the first EXE in the taskbar flashes.
I am running Visual Basic Express 2010.
Are these some settings for the compile that I should be using?
Individually the two EXEs work fine.

Can i somehow run Snow leo at the same time in Lion?

Is there anyway to have several systems at the same time, sort of switch between like parralells?
Does VMware allow you to run Snow leo with lets say Logic, i need to still use logic with several plugs which do not work yet in LEO.
I wanted to do this with a iMac 27" i7 with 12GB ram

Well I got a new iMac 27 i7 all maxed out, came with lion but I edit in FCP studio on my old iMac while do logic audio on a MacBook pro, all these machines and apps are incompatible, I can't run FCP and logic due to plug in incompatibility issues.
Anyway I was thinking the new iMac can run the logic plugs and all inside a fresh snow Leo virtual machine, you think with the fast i7 core iMac that it's not worth it?
Booting up dual boot etc is fast on the iMac but I like to see if I can run them at the same time somehow, I do extensive work in audio and chroma key and effects with FCP, what you think?

Router for cable AND DSL at the same time?

Can I get cable and DSL service and buy a router that will run both at the same time? I'm looking at the Linksys RV016, RV042 and RV082 routers; and the D-Link DI-LB604 Load Balancing Router. It looks like they'll do this but the webpages don't say that clearly. My Comcast cable service is fast (up to 6Mbps downloads) when it's working and the neighbors are asleep, but the speed drops to around 2kbps at other times. Qwest DSL is guaranteed 256Kbps.
Also, is there a wi-fi transceiver that detects and uses unused bandwidth on neighbors' Internet connections? My house picks up 7 neighbors' wi-fi transceivers. If we're all on the same cable service it wouldn't matter if I transferred bandwidth to a neighbor's service. But if some houses have DSL and some have cable, then the DSL users could get extra speed in the mornings when the cable is fast. The cable users would get extra speed in the evening when cable is slower than DSL. Everybody wins.

no problems.
There is a priority order when multiple networking interfaces are available.
Ethernet is higher than Airport in the order.
If both ethernet and Airport interfaces are connected to the network, then ethernet becomes the primary networking interface.
If nothing is plugged into the ethernet port, then Airport will get control.
