Singleton class and serial port dialog

Hello,
I'm trying to use the code provided here. Could someone help me by providing a complete example and especially the main file code. How should I create the singleton instance ? How to send an receive data ?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, the problem is apparenty the visa type. The problem is, i tried all of
'em by now and usualy, it shouldn't be a problem, if you click on the VI and
the tell it to create a control. It should be the right control, but it
never even then wires itself correctly to the VI.

I tried all of the VI's by now, but none of 'em work.

It's really just the basic VI's linked together to read from the COM1-port
(visa open, visa read, visa close), because it's meant to be a sub-VI for my
program.
And it can't be a problem of compatiblety (sp?), because i try to create it
anew with labview 6i.
Has anybody maybe had the same problem with labview 6i and windows ME?
The problem didn't seem to exist on my former computer (win95).
Thanx,

  • How can collect the data from laptop sound card and serial port at the same time?

    I'm working on a project, I need to collect the data from laptop sound card, and also from serial port at the same time.
    The attachments are my VIs for sound card and serial port communication, I'm wondering that can I combine these two VIs together? Or can I run these two VI at the same time?
    Thank you!

    A smarter way is just to put all your code in the same VI.
    Two parallel loops if rates are different.

  • GPIB and serial port communication errors via an executalbe file.

    I have a data acquisition program that communicates with instruments via the serial port and GPIB bus. When I create an executable file and run it on another PC I get GPIB and serial port errors when the program tries to initialize these ports. Are there additional vi's I need to include when I build the executable?

    When you installed the GPIB board on the other pc, did you install just NI-GPIB? Did you configure the GPIB board? You also need NI-VISA if your're using VISA calls in your program. You can either install the full NI-VISA or just the run-time version.

  • Unable to connect to SRW224P via web base and serial port on the front until reboot switch

    Just installed new SRW224P switch 4 days ago and we lose connectivy to the SRW224P manage switch. Try to Web in to device and also direct serial port unable to get connected, reboot and it works for a little bit but then we loose connectivity again. Also the computers connected to the switch loose their IP address and sometimes unable to get a DHCP address assigned back from are server.
    Any suggestions?

  • Java and serial ports

    i want to be able to use java to access my serial port to

    Download javax.comm from the Sun website and use that.

    Follow the install instructions VERY carefully .

  • Xlet and serial port

    does anybody know if it is possible to make an active Xlet interact with an Input Stream through the serial port?
    Roughly speaking i would use the serial connection between the STB and a PC as a sort of return channel

    like Steve, Threre is no standard inputstream of serial port in DTV environment. That bounds hardware device.
    Most of case of using serial port, STB use to view log in PC. So, if STB manufactors support serial com port in low-level by c function, you shoul check it out on STB manufactors low-level API.
    Definitely, MHP does not support inputstream from serial port.

  • Java applets in a browser, and Serial port input

    I know that there is a special package for serial port input in java. (java.Comm.SerialPort)
    What I am trying to figure out before a final decision on design is made, is if there is anyway of reading serial port input into a java applet that is running inside of a browser.
    I have found lots of reference to Serial port input, but nothing that really goes in the direction that I am lookind for.
    Any little tid bits of information pertaining to this would be greatly appreciated.
    Cuervo

    You should also consider that applets are not allowed to access their client system's hardware without being signed; in other words, the user must agree (by clicking a button) to disable the applet security features. Why would you use an applet to do this? Applets are meant to be an extension of a website. You should use an application in this situation.

  • Java and serial port communication

    Hello,
    In my code i have parsed a file through which i have extracted the port name and baud rate .
    Now i want to open the port with this portname and baud rate.
    I have a device moxa card which has 16 port and want to open each and and read and write data into it.
    thanking you.

    RXTX seems to be a decent library for serial/parallel communication using Java.

  • Windows and serial port adapters

    Hi Everyone,
    I am looking to buy a new notebook and am having trouble getting any answers about running Windows on a Mac. I do the bulk of my work programming PLCs, microprocessors, touchscreens, etc... Most of the interfacing is done over RS-232, USB, and Ethernet. All of my programming software is Windows based. I would have to use a ExpressCard/34 slot serial adapter for the RS-232.
    My question is: Will Windows have any trouble accessing and using all the ports? Is anyone else doing this kind of thing and making it work?
    Thank you for any help.
    Layne

    Hi Layne,
    I have had great success using Windows and a Belkin USB to RS232 adapter to program Clear-Com RS601 beltpacks and XTA loudspeaker processors.
    All that was needed was to install the Belkin drivers.

  • To ragnic and other about Singleton class

    Hi ragnic. Thanks for your reply. I posted the code wrong. Heres' my correct one.
    I have a GUI first loaded information and the information is stored in a databse, I have some EJB classes..and my singleton class ABC has some method to access to the EJB..
    so my first GUI will gather info using singleton class and later if I click on
    a button in my first GUI class, will pop up another frame of another class , this class also need to class setPassword in my Singleton..
    are my followign codes correctly??
    iS my Class ABC a SINgleton class? thanks
    Is my class ABC use as single correctly. And It is called from other classes is also correct?
    I'm new to java and like to learn about Singleton class.
    But I really dont' understand it clearly after reading many examples of it.
    I have a project to convert my class abc to a singleton.
    But I dont know how to do it.
    In my class(soon will become a singleton) will have few methods that later I need to use it from another class A and class B.
    I have a GUI application that first load my class A..and my class will call
    class abc(singleton) to get some information from it.
    and then in class A has a button, if I click on that button I will call SIngleton class again to update my password, in the singleton class has method calls updatePassword. But I dont know how to call a singleton from other class.
    I have my code for them below:
    1)public class ABC //attempt using a singleton
    private static ABC theABC = null;
    private ABC(){}
    public synchronized static ABC getABC()
    if(theABC == null)
    theABC= new ABC();

    Please help me.thanks

    1. When replying, use <reply>, don't post a new topic.
    2. Implementing a singleton is a frequently asked question. Search before you post.
    3. This is not a question about Swing. A more appropriate forum would be "New To Java Technology" or perhaps "Java Programming", but see point 1.
    4. When posting code, keep it short. It increases the chance of readers looking at it. And in composing your shorter version for the forum, you just may solve your problem.

  • Serial Port Communication Class

    Hi
    Does anyone know if there is a java class doing serial port communication using RS485 4 wireport.
    Thanks

    There's the Java Communications API that does serial port communication. Don't know whether it handles whatever it was you said.

  • Reading Serial Port?

    Sorry, I'm not sure if this thread is the same thing but is Java capable of reading in 15 pins RS-232 port data stream? If so, could some one please point me to a good place to start, such which classes shall I use? thanks

    You are right serialization and serial ports have little to do with one another.
    You could start by looking at [http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/]
    I couldn't find an obvious forum for serial ports either [http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=java+serial+api+forum]
    Thanks, Pete. Thanks, George. It seems like Sun is no longer supplying Javax comm development kits from that link. I take that all newer version of JDK are shipped with it?

  • How to add control buttons using Java thorugh serial port?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to this forum.
    I have some questions on Java and serial port.
    I want to write a Java program to control my robot, through serial port. For example, when I click "Forward", the robot will go forward, and so on.
    Now I already have the buttons, so next I would like to ask how to interface the buttons with the serial port.
    I already have all the javax.comm things installed.
    below is the code for my buttons:
    import java.awt.*;
    public class ControlButtons extends java.applet.Applet
         GridLayout myLayout = new GridLayout(3, 3);
         Button button1 = new Button(" ");
         Button buttonForward = new Button("Forward");
         Button button2 = new Button(" ");
         Button buttonLeft = new Button("Left");
         Button buttonStop = new Button("Stop");
         Button buttonRight = new Button("Right");
         Button button3 = new Button(" ");
         Button buttonReverse = new Button("Reverse");
         Button button4 = new Button(" ");
         public void init()
              setLayout(myLayout);
              add(button1);
              button1.setVisible(false);
              add(buttonForward);
              add(button2);
              button2.setVisible(false);
              add(buttonLeft);
              add(buttonStop);
              add(buttonRight);
              add(button3);
              button3.setVisible(false);
              add(buttonReverse);
              add(button4);
              button4.setVisible(false);
    }Now I would like to ask for direction on how to add in the code to make it work with serial port.
    Thanks

    The plan is, I have a robot device connected to the serial port.We don't know anything about that device. We don't know how to control it. We don't know what you have to write to the device to make it do anything. Only you know what.
    For example, when I click "Forward", the robot will go forward, and so on.So what do you have to send to make it do that? and same for the other buttons.
    Next, you need to work out from the javax.comm API how to open the serial port and send data to it. This is a standard exercise in learning a new API. You must be able to do this. Again and again.
    But the program is useless. The button can be clicked, but didn't do anything.Because (a) they have no ActionListeners and (b) there is no code to send anything to the serial port.
    You have to write all that. So you also have to look up ActionListener in the Java API and how to attach it to a button. You can do that. We all do that kind of thing every day.
    So next I would like to ask how to interface the buttons with the serial port.You've been asking nothing else since you started, but you've also only done enough investigation of your own to create the buttons. That's only the start.
    The problem is what method and command should I use to make those buttons actually functioning.See above. You've been told part of it several times. The rest only you can answer, because it's your robot.

  • How to implement a singleton class across apps in a managed server}

    Hi ,
    I tried implementing a singleton class , and then invoking the same in a filter class.
    Both are then deployed as a web app (war file) in a managed server.
    I created a similar app , deployed the same as another app in the same managed server .
    I have a logger running which logs the singleton instances as well.
    But am getting two instances of the singleton class in the two apps - not the same .
    I was under the impression that , a singleton is loaded in the class loader level , and since all apps under the same managed server used the same JVM , singleton will only get initialized once.
    Am i missing something here ? or did i implement it wrong..?
    public class Test
       private static Test ref ;
       private DataSource X; 
       static int Y;
       long Z ;  
       private Test ()
          // Singleton
           Z= 100 ;
       public static synchronized Test getinstance()  throws NamingException, SQLException
          if(ref == null)
             ref = new Test() ;        
             InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
             ref.X = (DataSource)ic.lookup ("jdbc/Views");
          return ref ;       
       public Object clone()throws CloneNotSupportedException
           throw new CloneNotSupportedException();
       public int sampleMethod (int X) throws SQLException
    public final class Filter implements Filter
         public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException
              try
                   Test ref = Test.getinstance();
                   log.logNow(ref.toString());

    Basically by definition.

    Any class loader that loads a class, by definition loads the class.
    A VM can have many class loaders. And far as I know every JEE server in existance that anyone uses, uses class loaders.
    And finally there might be a problem with the architecture/design of a JEE system which has two applications but which is trying to solve it with a singleton. That suggests a there might be concept problem with understanding what an "app" is in the first place.
