Sequence of Controls

Hi,
We have a Adobe Interactive Form for a particular Scenario. So we have designed the ADOBE FORM. But due to change in the FORM LAYOUT, we have to add a few extra fields in the FORM in many places.
This is spoiled the TAB SEQUENCE of the fields. Well, when I press tab in my KEYBOARD from one field, the Cursor is not going to the immediate field, but to some other field. The immediate field is a newly added field.
Now, I want to TAB ORDER to be defined for all the fields as per their position.
So I started checking the SFP editor for defining the SEQUENCE of these fields. But I couldnot figure out anything in these regards.
Can anyone help me out in these regards.
Regards,
Raja Sekhar

Hi,
Sorry !
I got the solution.
We have to click on VIEW - TAB ORDER in the menu of the SFP transaction. So this will bring the current TAB SEQUENCE, we should start clicking from the FIRST FIELD and click in the order which we want our sequence to be, on all our FIELDS.
This will define our SEQUENCE of the FIELDS.
Hope this will be useful for new comers like me.
Regards,
Raja Sekhar

How to implement the sequence view controls in the customized LabVIEW UI

Hi,
I'd like to use LabVIEW to run the TestStand Sequence, and show the execution windows in the UI.(something llike the attached image)
I followed my senior's method : connected the sequence view controls into the TestStand UI Execution View Manager as objects.
Then use the register event callback to build a callback VI.
The callback VI is checking which the RunState of the Execution Manager is stopped and assigning the execution to that Execution Manager.
Though it works, but really confuses me, needless to say to you all.
Could someone give me some suggestion how to show the execution windows in the LabVIEW UI? I'll appreciate your help.
Solved!

Change KANBAN Status Sequence in Control Cycle

Hi guys,
Can anyone please detail which are the implications if I should change the status sequence for a control cycle, which is in use now?
Regards,
Ileana

Hi
In the kanban process the actual sequence is
Wait>Empty>In process > Intransit> Full > In use>Empty.This is complete cycle
If ur present kanban bin status is "In use" then then u changed the sequence in the control cycle.
When ever u trigger the kanban card, then system move to control cycle and checks the kanban sequence by referring the standard sequence it move to next status.
Eg: Ur present sequence is like
Empty>In process> In -transit --> Full --> Empty
Now ur bin status is "Full" then u have changed the sequence in the control cycle.
New sequence is like
"Empty--> In process > Full> In use -->Empty"
Now u triggered the kanban card of " Full" status bin, then system refer first sequence in the control cycle and then standard sequence then status is changing to " In use"
Means when ever u change the sequence in the control cycle system checks the sequence in the control cycle by reference of standard sequence it will changes the bin status.
So if ur bin is in the "In -use " status, then what ever the next status in the sequence is taken when u trigger the kanban signal

Sending escape sequences to control command line printing

Hello Java Community,
I am interested in printing PDF files programatically by using a thread that used the runtime environment and the sending a command to print the file.
I hava managed to print files directly to the printer using "cmd /c acrord32.exe /h /p filename.pdf" thanks to iText FAQ.
The problem is that when I try sending the job to an Epson LX 300 printer, the job prints in letter quality while my intention is to print in draft mode.
I imagine that this problem could be resolved by passing escape sequences to set draft mode printing programatically so as to speed up my printing.
Anyone who can help me on how to achieve this.
Will appreciate your help.

CD Burning Sequence - CANNOT Control!

Hi, here to bust your b**ls again!
I did look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2455 but nothing helps.
I want to copy a playlist to CD. The order is the original track sequence of the original CD.
In other words I want to burn an audio CD with tracks 1-13 on it it, in that sequence, just like the original CD.
No arranging of the tracks works! iTunes still insists on burnng the tracks dyslexic - from 13 down to 1.
Take your time in responding - I know my problems are the weirdest on here. lol!

Patting myself on the back for "stumpin' the chumps" again!

Buffered event counting. Why can't I explicitly sequence generating the Sample Clock Pulse and reading the counters?

At irregular occasions I need to grab counts from several counters, and buffering the counts must be done simultaneously for all counters. I'm modeling my approach after zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5404 which someone kindly pointed out in an earlier thread. However, that example only uses one counter, and you can't test the synchronization with only one counter, so I am using two counters configured the same way, and they're wired to a single benchtop signal generator (for example at 300 kHz).
What I want to do, I can test in a loop with a somewhat random wait in it. I want to drive a hardware digital output line high for a few ms and then low again. The hardware line is physically connected to terminals for my timing vi's Sample Clock Source and so will cause them to buffer their counts for later reading. After I pulse this line, when I know new good buffered counts await me, I want to read both my counters. If their bufferings are simultaneous, then each counter will have counted the same number of additional counts since the last loop iteration, which I can check by subtracting the last value sitting in a shift register and then subtracting the two "additional counts" values and displaying this difference as "Diff". It should always be 0, or occasionally +1 followed immediately by -1, or else the reverse, because buffering and a count could happen practically at the same moment.
When I do this using a flat sequence to control the relative timing of these steps, so the read happens after the pulse, the counters often time out and everything dies. The lengths of time before, during, and after the pulse, and the timeout value for the read vi, and the size of the buffer and various other things, don't seem to change this, even if I make things so long I could do the counting myself holding a clipboard as my buffer. I've attached AfterPulse.vi to illustrate this. If I get 3 or 10 or so iterations before it dies, I observe Diff = 0; at least that much is good.
When I use two flat sequences running in parallel inside my test loop, one to control the pulse timing, and the other to read the counters and do things with their results, it seems to work. In fact, Diff is always 0 or very occasionally the +/- 1 sequence. But in this case there is nothing controlling the relative timing such that the counters only get read after the pulse fires, though the results seem to show that this is true. I think the reads should be indeterminate with respect to the pulses, which would be unreliable. I don't know why it's working and can't expect it to work in other environments, can I? Moreover, if I set some of the pulse timing numbers to 1 or 2 or 5 ms, timeouts start happening again, too. So I think I have a workaround that I don't understand, shouldn't work, and shouldn't be trusted. See SeparateSequence.vi for this one.
I also tried other versions of the well-defined, single sequence vi, moving the counter reads to different sequence frames so that they occur with the Sample Clock Source's rising edge, or while it is high, or with the falling edge, and they also often time out. I'll post these if anyone likes but can't post now due to the attachment limit.
Here's an odd, unexpected observation: I have to sequence the reads of the counters to occur before I use the results I read, or else many of the cycles of this combine a new count from one counter with the one-back count from the other counter, and Diff takes on values like the number of counts in a loop. I though the dataflow principle would dictate that current values would get used, but apparently not so. Sequencing the calculations to happen after the reads fixes this. Any idea why?
So, why am I not succeeding in taking proper control of the sequence of these events?
Thanks!!!

Kevin, thanks for all the work.
>Have you run with the little execution highlighting lightbulb on? -Yes. In versions of this where there is no enforced timing between the counter and the digital line, and there's a delay inserted before the digital line, it works. There are nearly simultaneous starts on two tracks. Execution proceeds directly along the task wire to the counter. Meanwhile, the execution along the task wire to the digital high gets delayed. Then, when the digital high fires, the counter completes its task, and execution proceeds downstream from the counter. Note, I do have to set the timeout on the counter longer, because the vi runs so slowly when it's painting its progress along the wires. If there is any timing relationship enforced between the counter and the digital transition, it doesn't work. It appears to me that to read a counter, you have to ask it for a result, then drive the line high, and then receive the result, and execution inside the counter has to be ongoing during the rising line edge.
>from what I remember, there isn't much to it. There really aren't many candidate places for trouble. A pulse is generated with DIO, then a single sample is read from each counter. -Yup, you got it. This should be trivial.
>A timeout means either that the pulse isn't generated or that the counter tasks don't receive it. - Or it could mean that the counter task must be in the middle of executing when the rising edge of the pulse arrives. Certainly the highlighted execution indicates that. Making a broken vi run by cutting the error wires that sequence the counter read relative to the pulse also seems to support that.
>Have you verified that the digital pulse happens using a scope? -Verified in some versions by running another loop watching a digital input, and lighting an indicator, or recording how many times the line goes high, etc. Also, in your vi, with highlighting, if I delete the error wire from the last digital output to the first counter to allow parallel execution, I see the counter execution start before the rising edge, and complete when the line high vi executes. Also, if I use separate loops to drive the line high and to read the counter, it works (see TwoLoops.vi or see the screenshot of the block diagram attached below so you don't need a LV box). I could go sign out a scope, but think it's obvious the line is pulsing given that all these things work.
>Wait! I think that's it! If I recall correctly, you're generating the digital pulse on port0/line0... On a 6259, the lines of port 0 are only for correlated DIO and do not map to PFI. -But I'm not using internal connections, I actually physically wired P0L1 (pin 66) to PFI0 (pin 73). It was port0/line1, by the way. And when running some of these vi's, I also physically jumper this connection to port0/line2 as an analog input to watch it. And, again, the pulse does cause the counter to operate, so it clearly connects - it just doesn't operate the way I think it is described operating.
For what it's worth, there's another mystery. Some of the docs seem to say that the pulse has to be applied to the counter gate terminal, rather than to the line associated with the sample clock source on the timing vi. I have tried combinations of counter gate and or sample clock source and concluded it seems like the sample clock source is the terminal that matters, and it's what I'm using lately, but for example the document I cited, "Buffered Event Counting", from last September, says "It uses both the source and gate of a counter for its operation. The active edges on the gate of a counter is used to latch the current count register value in a hardware register which is then transferred via Direct Memory Access...". I may go a round of trying those combinations with the latest vi's we've discussed.

Using oracle sequence in SQL Loader

I'm using oracle sequence in control file of sql loader to load data from .csv file.
Controlfile:
LOAD DATA APPEND
INTO TABLE PHONE_LIST
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," TRAILING NULLCOLS
PHONE_LIST_ID "seqId.NEXTVAL",
COUNTRY_CODE CHAR,
CITY_CODE CHAR,

1518,8,9,9,B
1519,8,9,9,B
1520,8,9,9,B
1521,8,9,9,B
1) As first column uses oracle sequence, we have not defined that in datafile.
This gives me error "Can not insert NULL value for last column"
Is it mandatory to specify first column in datafile, even though we are using sequence?
2) Another table is referencing PHONE_LIST_ID column (the one for which we using sequence) of this table as a foreign key.
So is it possible to insert this column values in other table simultaneously? Sequence no. should be same as it is in first table...
Kindly reply this on urgent basis....

Using Proteus X with a midi sequencer - VST work around

I got Proteus X with the X-board 61. I've been trying to use it with Cubase. First it took me a while to figure out that Proteus X has to be used with a sequencer using VST you can't just select it as a midi device.
Am I wrong here? I really can't believe it is set up this way and that more people aren't complaining about it. Maybe I just missed something and you really can use Proteus X as a midi device?
When I set up Proteus X as a VST instrument in cubase there is a half second delay in triggering sounds from the X board. After the midi data is recorded in the timing play back is just fine. I did a little research and it seems that this problem is happening because the latency on my sound card is too high (I could be wrong here too). I'm just using the internal card on my laptop. I might think about getting a fancy external card, but I wouldn't want to have some other thing to drag around with my laptop and keyboard.
Anyway my work around is this: I don't load Proteus X as a VST instrument, but just as a stand alone app. I downloaded MIDI yolk here: http://www.midiox.com/myoke.htm . (I also tried maple midi port but it didn't work for me).
In Proteus X go to Options>Preferences>MIDI and for Ch 1 - 16 set it to "In From MIDI Yolk: 1" For Ch 17 - 32 set it to EmuXboard61(or what every your controller is)then OK
Now you can load sounds into channels 1-16 in Proteus X.
In Cubase for each MIDI track set the in to E-MU Xboard61 (or your controller) and the out to "Out To MIDI Yolk 1"
This will allow both your controller and sequencer to control Proteus X at the same time without using VST. This work around also allows you to use Proteus X to play back any MIDI file from any windows application. Just go to the windows Control panel>Sounds and Audio Devices>Audio tab and set the MIDI music playback Default Device to "Out To MIDI Yolk: 1"
Hope this helps somebody like it did me.
It would be really cool if there was a way to set this up to use the additional ch 17-32 in Proteus X. I haven't quite figured it out yet. Anyone have suggestions?

anyone familiar with sequencing the sounds from proteus-x onto fruity loop tracks. so far, i've managed to open the vst sound module for proteus-x in fruity loops. I'm using a midi controller to play each note. how do I record multiple proteus-x tracks similar to the way I would if I was playing and recording fruity loop tracks and sounds?
IMO FL is not wery good with MIDI recording.
Insert #1 Channel --> select Proteus-X from the list. Set some patch on Proteus-X
Insert #2 Channel --> select Proteus-X from the list. Set some patch on Proteus-X
etc.
I suppose you can use the MIDI recording functionality on FL (eg. select track to record add an instrument on it, press record button start with play button (you can set wait for keyboard, snap/step/..., metronome, etc from those tiny icons(light)).

How to create a a labview sequence with teststand

hi everybody,
it might be this question but i haven't found any. I am using TestStand 2.0 and LabVIEW 7.0 and i wanna use labView Sequence adapter to create sequences by using labView step.
So that's how i do.
1) After choosing the labveiw standard prototype adapter, i select a step in the sequence let's say the numeric limit step
2) then I specify the module and choose the option create VI...
3) Then I have a labview front panel window that appears with test data and error out
4) I just add a sequence context in the front panel, take a set property value module, link that module to the sequence context and in the test data as show as in different examples i found
5) but after all when i run the step that is error message i have:
LabVIEW : parameter Sequence Context not found in the VI's connector pane.
-18002; LabVIEW reported an error. See 'LabVIEW : ' message for more details.
it's seems that i don't connect my sequence context to the VI's connector pane but i don't know how to do it. i tried to figure that out by reading some previous post but i still can't.
First what's is a VI's connector pane and do you have access to that? Can you explain me that step by step
Thanks in advance for your help.
Christelle

Hi,
In the Specify LabVIEW Module is a checkbox if you need the Sequence Context in your VI.
You should enbale this before creating the VI. If this is done, then you will not have to add the sequence context control to your VI, because it will already be there.
But from your notes, you dont appear to be adding the Sequence Context control to your VI connector pane.
If you do this, then it should all start to work.

Go out from stack sequence when there is an error

Hi All,
I have a small code that used to do the simple testing. I used all stack sequence to control the equipment sequencely. What I want to do is if there is an error (either failed to control equipment or any error that can occur) in any sequence, the code will make it go out rather than loop thru all the sequence then go out, is it possible to do this kind of feature ? I do try to using the event to raise the error but it failed cos I have no idea how to do it.Anybody please help.
Thanks

But the problem is there are too many VI (about 20++
Are you running 20 different test sequences ? Or 20 instances of the same test?
If it's the same test, or even a similar test, then make it a subVI, feed it parameters to customize it, and be done.
If they're really that different, then the mistake was to write 20 different test sequences without handling errors.
If that's the case, I know of no way to automatically replace the things.

Controlling program flow and case statements

Hey all, I was wondering, I if I have 40 nested case statements and I want the program to close after they are all done, is it sufficient to wire the "?" for both true and false of the outermost case to the close routine in order to guarantee that all of them will execute? Or is there an even better way using data flow methods?
-Dobbs

I'd recommend state machines better than that way or sequences, to controll dataflow better. Example is attached.

Is it safe to use launchpad control?

On the launchpad control wedsite it says that its discontined. Is is safe to use. I dont want to break my mac.

So it would seem the Labview crash I mentioned in the original post is unrelated to the the mixed use of the sequence view control. However during my troubleshooting I did notice I was missing the step of disconnecting one view from the control prior to connecting the other view.
And for the record I think there are a lot of things wrong with the architecture used in the full-featured example, but it also has too many features for what we need. Just need the simple "press a button", and "run a test" for the operators. Everybody else uses the Sequence Editor.
All is well. Thanks for the input.
