Smc basic

Hello,
Really need your help, i have SMC-basic controller that is connected on my RS-232 port.2 step motors with fine step like 10 um step are connected on
this controler.The motor model is VEXTA D4CL-5.0.I wanna use this motors for X and Y movement with small steps like 20 um.So i wanna aske you to link
me some examples for this kind of work that i wanna use my motors for.I buy one more peace of equipment its NI controler that i will connect on my
USB and on this controler will be connected photo diode, she will detect light.This diode will be attached on one motor and that motor is attached on second
motor, and motors will move around in XY plane.So my big problem is that i need some labview examples for this small procjet i wanna make. 
P.S I use labview 7.1 and 8.5
Thank you very much,
Leon Kahlina, Croatia

Hello Leon,
Which NI controller
are you going to get? Is both controllers- the NI controller and the SMC-basic controller- are going to control the same motors! It's
a little confusing in your description.  Your might want  to look for examples in the
example finder to get you started with the basic concept. You can find those examples
If you navigate to Help >>
Example Finder.
Thanks and have a
great day.

  • Time machine disk not found after installing Mountain Lion

    Since doing the upgrade, ML cannot find my external FW backup disk. I have tried resetting the PRAM (Command+Option+P+R) but this has no effect. I am running on a iMac 2.4GHz intel core 2 duo with 4Gb of Ram. Everything else seems ok, although boot-ups seem to take longer than previously under Lion
    Any help/advice welcome.
    Thanks
    Ray

    Thanks Pondini, but the mac failed to find the drive at all. Solved it now by resetting the SMC - basically powering down, disconnecting the power cable for a few minutes and then switching back on again.
    Best regards

  • Very basic questions about SMC

    I've never used SMC before and I have some basic questions. I'm trying to set up the Sun Management Colsole to manage LDAP users in accordance with the instructions in Tom Bialaski's book LDAP IN THE SOLARIS OPERATING ENVIRONMENT.
    My questions are:
    1) What's the difference between Sun Management Center and Sun Management Console?
    2) The book references Sun Management Console 2.1, what's the latest version and where do I get it? Version 2.1 is already installed on my machine and running.

    1) What's the difference between Sun Management Center
    and Sun Management Console?This forum is for Sun Management Center:
    http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/sunmanagementcenter/
    It's Sun's unified monitoring tool, specializing in Sun hardware/OS/apps. It ties into storage, cluster, N1 Grid Containers, flar deployment, PatchPro etc... as well as lots of 3rd party addons.

  • My Macbook Pro runs VERY slow when unplugged. The battery charges and runs ok. Ran an SMC reset (no success), Safe mode (did not work), and hardware check (came back ok). What can I try next to fix this?

    Hello all,
    I am new to posting on this forum but I really hope that someone out there can help me out. I have a 13" MacBook Pro, 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, running OSX 10.6.8. My problem is that when I unplug the laptop form the charger and run it on the battery, the computer becomes unresponsive to any commands at all. It basically really slows down to a crawl. Even when rebooting it will take 5-10 minutes or more to do so. The odd thing is, when it gets plugged back in while any of this is going on, within a minute or two it works perfectly. It has been in a mac authorized repair shop for 7 weeks and has had a new logic board and a new hard drive replaced. The battery was tested and charges fine, holds a charge when unplugged, and the system profile shows the battery at Normal. Recently, many knowledgeable mac enthusiasts gave me tip that might help. Here is what I did: Ran an SMC reboot (no success), rebooted the computer under safe mode then unplugged it to test (no success), and ran a hardware test on the install disk (showed hardware ok)
    I am at a loss as to what to do next. It has become impossible to use this laptop for my classes when it is unplugged. I am about ready to just go buy a new one, and call this one a goner.
    I am hoping someone reading this can help with any other ideas on its problem. Help? Anyone?

    LPBassman,
    since the tech in your IT department was able to copy your daughter’s data from her MacBook Pro’s internal disk, I’d suggest completely erasing the internal disk (using Disk Utility in Recovery mode, reformatting it with a “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” filesystem), reïnstalling its original version of Mac OS X (either Snow Leopard from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD if it originally came with two grey DVDs, or Lion via OS X Internet Recovery if no grey DVDs originally came with it), running Software Update to get it to 10.6.8 or 10.7.5 respectively, reïnstalling Mavericks, running Software Update again to get it up to date, and finally restoring your daughter’s data.

  • Ive been trying to update my macbook pro 8,2 firmware from the apple website but first the smc update gives me an error saying that my software does not support that update and belive me i checked and iam downloading the correct one

    so basically i was wanting to update my smc firmware and the EFI Boot ROM version but for the EFI Boot Rom when i click on it says page no found and for the smc firmware, when i do download it says that the my software does not support it, even though it is completely compatible, i checked the system requirements given by the page.
    iam trying to do this because i have issues with the chargin, it keeps giving me a "not charging" messege.

  • Apple says "logic board needs replaced" because MBP won't turn on w/o SMC reset but I think I can fix it; can you help?

    Hello,
    Less than a year after purchasing a brand new, early-2011 Macbook Pro (still covered under Extended Apple Care) and, sadly, only a week or two after finally upgrading to 8GB RAM, I returned to my notebook after taking a shower and watched it suddenly shut itself down. It has not been responsive to the power button since then (although, see below.. I think I can fix it).
    Genius Bar took one look at the visible moisture sensor you can see underneath where the RAM sits and declared it water-damaged. While I agree that either a short and/or corrosion is causing my MBP to malfunction, I don't believe it should void my warranty because the problem isn't that I spilled something on it.1
    I hope someone can give me some insight into fixing this myself. Apple says "the Logic Board needs replaced" (a common CS response, I've noticed) the water damage voids my Extended Care + that it'll be at least $1200 and several weeks. Here's the situation:
    MBP will not turn on just by pressing the power button. However, MBP consistently (every time) powers up when I do an SMC reset.
    I have it in verbose mode and it begins booting. But, it will invariably turn off without warning anywhere between 30 seconds and 8-10 minutes after powering up.
    MBP will not turn on just by pressing the power button. However, MBP consistently (every time) powers up when I do an SMC reset.
    I have it in verbose mode and it begins booting. But, it will invariably turn off without warning anywhere between 30 seconds and 5 minutes of powering up.
    Eighty percent of the time, it turns off during the pre-Xorg boot. However, I have also seen it fully boot, I log in, I'm able to peruse logfiles/etc. Safe Mode (holding shift) crashes early. Single-user mode makes no difference. PRAM/NVRAM/etc makes no difference. I can boot to the Recovery Partition but it turns off just the same (disk utility scan takes too long).
    I haven't been able to really test the Internet Recovery because the hotel wireless takes too long. I did boot into Hardware Test and it passed the basic and extended tests (although it seemed to just be testing the RAM integrity.
    I can boot from the optical drive with a FreeBSD 9 livecd and an Ubuntu 11.04 livecd. Of note is that the laptop shuts off consistently when FreeBSD begins the journaling services for the ZFS filesystem (every time).
    Here is where this leads me to believe I'm at (I am not dogmatic here and would appreciate any corrections or insight):
    It seems like there may be corrosive damage on the logic board but maybe it's isolated given the various consistencies in what's happening. It seems like whenever SATA is use, I lose power. When SATA isn't really used (the HW Test), the laptop has literally stayed on for days and days.
    I want to get in there and clean up any corrosion with 91% isopropyl alcohol (9% distilled, non-conductive water).
    I want to use a bootable OSX livecd with an "emergency console" so I can, basically, use boot options to step throught the boot process and see if I can isolate the problem.
    Here is what I'm uncertain about and could use guidance:
    Does any of this sound remotely reasonable to anyone who has been through this or am I delusional?
    Any tips on identifying and cleaning any corrosion?
    While I had made a bootable version of Lion via Disk Utility and a rescue disk with some third-party app, they are MIA and I don't have another Mac at the moment. Do I have any other options? Again, an install dvd is not exactly what I want -- more like a rescue dvd. I had read about some Apple Stores giving/copying bootable USB thumb drives like this to customers. But, I noticed that this is now on sale there for $80. I would use this like once and, ideally, could use my MBP to make more. $80 seems a bit much.
    I should be able to step through the boot process in a way like what's possible with FreeBSD, no?
    Anyone have any other specific troubleshooting tips?
    I really, reallly need my MBP back as soon as possible. I'd really appreciate any wisdom and insight! Thank you,
    -ryan                             
    To be totally honest, about 3 weeks prior I spilled some milk from cereal on the desk and a little bit got onto the battery. However, the notebook worked fine for the following weeks. I believe that the problems have been caused by ambient humidity ... I've been staying in a hotel that steams up the entire room when I take a shower. The windows are covered in water droplets so why wouldnt the MBP be affected? As noted, these problems began after I lingered in a hot shower.

    I don't think you have a case.
    You can replace the logic board yourself if you are a DIY'er and save some money.

  • I got a replacement battery, reset the SMC, and my computer will still turn off unexpectedly.

    Early 2011 15" Macbook Pro, 2ghz iz, C0*****F8V.
    My original battery wore down to the point where it would not be recognized as available and the computer couldn't power on without shutting down in a few minutes. I ordered a replacement battery, certified Apple genuine, but after 3 days it reached about half charge and the computer died, not turning back on without the adapter. When it did reboot the battery was at 0% and not charging, and the computer was incredibly slow and laggy.
    I refunded and returned this battery and got a new one. I've had it installed about 2 days and the computer will still turn off if not plugged in at about 80-85%. I have reset my SMC multiple times and my PRAM as well. coconutBattery says nothing is wrong with the battery.
    What can I do? I'm a freelance video editor and this is basically calling me out sick from work for a week now.
    Thanks!

    Do these codes refer strictly to the battery, or to possibly other components that interact with it?
    I can not give you a definitive answer to that.  The 'x's' which I have marked should be letters.  If so, could you provide them and that may give us a clue:
    If that is actually what was generated by the AHT, then I am a bit surprised.
    At any rate, the bottom line is that the MBP does not like your battery even though the output information that you provided does not indicate anything adverse.  An Apple battery should correct your problem, I would think, but there is an alternative that I came across yesterday that you might consider.  OWC. a Mac oriented vendor, is now selling replacement batteries for MBPs.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/BAP15MBU78W/
    Based on the reputation of the company, I personally would be willing to try their non-Apple branded replacement.  I have dealt with them a fair amount, so my statement is from experience.  Note that is has a 1 year guarantee as do the Apple batteries.  ( I will need a replacement for my 2010 MBP and I will probably purchase it from them)

  • Computer really noisy (fan I think?). Resetting PRAM and SMC does not work.

    Hi,
    so basically, as the title says, my computer is making a really loud noise as soon as I turn it on, I am presuming it is the fan.
    Over a month ago, my computer started to constantly crash, and about two weeks ago I took it to a Genius Bar for a diagnosis. The problem was a hard drive failure, so I had it replaced and yesterday I brought it back home.
    However, after the fix, the computer now runs fine, but there is a really loud noise from the computer.
    I have tried resetting the PRAM and SMC like some other threads have suggested, and none of them have worked. I have tried restarting, shutting down the computer and everything suggested.
    The computer has never made this noise in this manner before.
    Before the fix, the only time it would be noisy like this is when I wake it from sleep, just left it there (on screen requiring username and password) and it sleeps again, and if I wake it from sleep, then it would be loud like this, but that is solved by just simply sleeping the computer again and waking it, and it will be all quiet again.
    However, now, it makes this loud noise as soon as I turn the computer on, and as long as the computer is not shut down or asleep, it will make this noise.
    Before the fix, my OS was 10.4.11, but the Genius Bar had installed 10.5.8 on this hard drive.
    Is this a software problem or a hardware one?
    Anyone got any suggestions or ideas how to fix this?
    I have called the Apple store I visited for this fix already, they push me over to AppleCare and AppleCare pushes me back to Apple store and they tell me they cannot provide technical support over the phone and would need me to take the computer back to the Genius Bar.
    I am just not happy about this. I live almost an hour away from the closest store and I have university to attend to as well.
    So I am hoping this problem can be resolved without having to go back to the Genius Bar, although all methods I have read so far do not help.
    Thanks,
    From Lelouch

    Hi, well, the thing is, I am just worried that, while making other repairs, they might have damaged something unintentionally and probably do not know about it, which would not be documented.
    My initial problem of a loud fan, after a hard drive replacement, was fixed, so I do not hear it anymore, but this wind-like noise is different. With the iMacs, I presume the fans are towards the top, which was where the loud fan noise came from, however, this wind-like noise seems to come from the bottom of the computer screen are, centre and right side (in the direction I face it), but not the left side.
    I describe it as wind-like, but it sounds a bit like when the computer is on heavy demand and the computer loads, yet different as it is quieter and slightly different in pattern, and unlike the usual heavy demand noise which comes from the top, it comes from the bottom.
    I actually installed a temperature widget after my last repair, just in case my fan was just simply tuned off and would not come on at all for the sake of fixing the loud noise it was making.
    The temperatures read as follows:
    HD: 31
    CPU: 27
    Ambient: 17
    GPU: 36
    GPU Diode: 46
    GPU Heatsink: 36
    HD Bay: 33
    Optical Drive: 30
    To my knowledge, these should be fine temperatures?
    But the noise persists regardless. The noise can instantly be heard (providing that it is quiet enough) as soon as the computer starts up.
    Thanks,
    From Lelouch

  • Solaris 10 x86 - SMC server not starting

    Same problem as here :
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisx86/message/12180
    No solution yet ...
    SMC server doesn't start at boot, and won't start manually with /etc/init.d/init.wbem start
    starting it manually gives :

    Any idea?
    I have a basic Solaris 10 setup, with Entire Collection selected.
    My graphic card is not working so I had to install in text mode and access X remotely.

    I believe this is a fault in the crypto file that is mentioned in the Yahoo X86 posting, namely pkcs11_kernel.so. I have a possible workaround for this. Try looking at:
    http://www.webmin.com
    This is a free Web-based management tool that has most but not all of the functionality of the SMC. I tried downloading and installing the Solaris package from their download page, but this didn't work. What I eventually did was remove the package and download and install the generic Unix version, which was webmin-1.160.tar.gz as of when I downloaded it. The only gotchas to watch for are to run the setup.sh script and select Sun Solaris as the O/S, then select Solaris 9 as the version (they don't technically support 10 yet). I have been able to add users and groups and manage the disk without problems.

  • Ok, so basically my charger fell apart on my MacBook pro(2010) and I didn't have the money for a new charger, I got it in the states too if that's relevant. Basically my laptop will not charge, I bought a new charger yesterday and it's still no-use

    Ok, so basically my charger fell apart on my MacBook pro(2010) and I didn't have the money for a new charger, I got it in the states too if that's relevant. Basically my laptop will not charge, I bought a new charger yesterday and it's still no-use,not charging . No green or orange light coming on on the new charger either.

    It is one of the items that Apple gets criticized at regular intervals. The MagSafe connector is proprietary and unlicensable, so the company has a lock-in on the power options. And as you have now found out, your hijinks trying to avoid buying an expensive new charger may have caused more damage and led to a total no-charge condition.
    If lucky and no physical damage has occurred (there IS a fuse in there somewhere on the circuit boards), maybe resetting the SMC can restore charge functionality, provided there is still enough juice: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Question about SMC agent port binding on a system with IP multipathing

    Hi All, I hope this is the correct forum
    I have recently upgraded a server to from Solaris 8 to Solaris 9 and SMC version 3 to version 3.5 update1 and have been able to configure the agent to bind to the loopback interface.
    Originally on the Solaris 8 system with IP multipathing and SMC version 3 we had the following configuration in the domain-config.x file, and when agent was started it would bind to the localhost:
    agent = {
    snmpPort = "20161"
    lsof output:
    esd 804 root 10u IPv4 0x30002e233d0 0t0 UDP *:20161 (Idle)
    Now since the upgrade of the server and installation of SMC we are seeing that the agent now binds to all the IP address configured on the server, I have tried setting the �agentServer� to localhost or 127.0.0.1 but SMC agent will not start. Also have tried changing/removing the logicalAddressMode setting but with no luck agent still binds to all IP address.
    lsof output:
    esd 267 root 10u IPv4 0x300073afcb8 0t0 UDP hostname-eri0:20161 (Idle)
    esd 267 root 11u IPv4 0x30003d30968 0t0 UDP hostname:20161 (Idle)
    esd 267 root 12u IPv4 0x300073364a8 0t0 UDP hostname-eri1:20161 (Idle)
    agent = {
    agentServer = "hostname"
    logicalAddressMode = "ip"
    snmpPort = "20161"
    I have tried finding documentation on the domain-config.x file but have only found references to existing examples not a document covering all the possible varibles and what they mean.
    Thanks for any assistance

    I got an idea:
    In the Subscriber Profile, in the "messages" section. You can try and add:
    - where it says "x" use the actual extension of the the subscriber mailbox + the MWI code. 5555*72
    Just to see if it turns it on..... maybe?? Otherwise I don't know if Unity is going to be able to distinguish what is a Cisco phone and what is an Avaya phone. The UTIM is the piece that is supposed to seperate the two systems. But what you are doing is joining them together via the CCM. Which you have working, but MWI is going to be tricky.
    This is where the PBXlink would come in handy. You would install this onto the Unity box. Then change your Avaya subscriber from CCM integration to the PBXlink integration. Calls can still come in from CCM, but MWI signals will go out the PBXlink.
    If you notice in the Subscriber profile, you can assign subscribers to different Integrations. This plays a huge part in MWI. I think what you are trying is a great stab at it... but I think you may be chasing your tail on this one with the MWI.
    On the CallManager side, what happens when you dial an Avaya phone? Do you have a route or translation pattern setup? Because if there was a way to translate this example:
    ext 4455 gets a new voicemail
    Unity dials 4455 to CCM with MWI on code xxxx
    CCM would translate and route this pattern as 4455 *72 to the Avaya switch. Avaya switch should turn on the light.
    So basically, CCM is pushing the 4455 through the CAS T1, then add *72 to it as a translation from 4455 xxxx (xxxx being your callmanager MWI on code)
    It's a stab in the dark... but that's the only, if it would work I can think off without the PBXlink.
    good luck!

  • Weird beeping/blinking. After reseting SMC the fan/battery is out of control.

    I honestly just got my MacBook Pro back from the shop yesterday (it got a new harddrive) and the first time I let it run out of battery life, this happens.
    So basically what's going on is that I cannot start up my computer unless I reset the SMC. When the beeping/blinking (it was the one beep/per second type) first started about an hour ago I immeditely reseted the SMC and that seemed to work... until, that was, the fans would not stop blaring and the battery is not showing up. Therefore, as soon as I unplug my charger my computer loses all power and goes right back to that single beep, therefore I have to reset the SMC again and the battery is still not showing up, cursing me to live out this day in and day out.
    Is there anything I can do? I'm getting sick of resetting the date.

    when you pay for a repair, it comes with a warranty, typically 90 days. Take it back to the people who touched it last and ask them to make sure it is working properly before returning it to you.
    It is possible that a new problem has occurred, and that the timing is just unfortunate. But let them explain it.

  • Updated Java "broke" SMC (Solaris Mgmt Console)

    Hello,
    I have a SunFire 280R running Solaris 8.
    The application running on the system will be upgraded soon, and required that I update Java.
    I believe I've missed some steps, as the SMC (Solaris Management Console) will not run now.
    I've read the SMC FAQ, but may have missed something. Any help would be appreciated.
    Before doing anything:
    # java -version
    java version "1.4.1_03"
    # cd /usr
    # ls -la java
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 6 Mar 14 2003 java -> ./j2se
    I installed a recent version of Sun Java from a CD-R which I had burned:
    # cd /usr
    # /cdrom/java_1_5_0_04/jre_1_5_.sh
    agree?
    Unpacking...
    Checksumming...
    extracting...
    inflating...
    Creating
    Done.
    # /cdrom/java_1_5_0_04/jre_1_52.sh
    agree?
    Unpacking...
    Checksumming...
    Done.
    After the installation was complete, I replaced the link:
    # cd /usr
    # rm java
    # ln -s /usr/jre1.5.0_04 java
    # ls -la java
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 16 Oct 11 09:11 java -> /usr/jre1.5.0_04
    # java -version
    java version "1.5.0_04"
    When I attempt to launch SMC from the CDE menu bar, it tries, then fails, without a message.
    When I open a terminal and type "smc", it tries, and then I get a message that there is no valid version of Java in the places that it expects it, just as the FAQ mentions, and to either fix and try again, it set $JAVA_HOME.
    This is right about where my knowledge of Solaris 8 abruptly ends. If I can type "java -version" in a terminal window and get the reply "java version "1.5.0_04"" then why can't SMC find it?
    I am stumped. Someone tried to help by telling me to edit the .bashrc file, and add $JAVA_HOME, but I can't find that file on this system anywhere.
    I was able to get the SMC to launch once, after trying to set $JAVA_HOME, but it apparently only worked for that terminal window. After the SMC was closed, and the terminal window closed, and someone tried to launch it from a new terminal window, it didn't work again.
    I'm stumped. How can I get SMC to play nice with the newer Java? I know enough to know that this is probably very basic, and I am just forgetting something obvious.
    thanks very much for your help!
    -Bill

    I was able to correct this problem on my server
    The .server file is the smc java keystore that contains
    the private/public key pair for SSL
    You can create this file by executing
    cd /usr/sadm/lib/smc/bin
    certtool -genkey
    Once the keys are generated execute
    /etc/init.d/init.wbem stop
    /etc/init.d/init.wbem start
    if your smpatch no longer works

    Thanks inadvance.

    Instead of using SMC - why not use the format command - this utility has traditionally allowed the sysadmin to perform disk related tasks. If you plan to be "playing around" with disks on a solaris system - smc is not the tool. If you had intended to use ZFS - you're stuck with the command line (really sucks if you're dependent on GUIs). Either use the free SVM command line or get a copy of Veritas Foundation Basic Suite "free" (but crippled - limited to 4 volumes and 4 filesystems) - http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/sfbasic/index.jsp. At least with Veritas - the GUI will step you thru the entire process of disk management. I can't say that for SVM, with a bit of persistence and skill - you might not be disappointed. I prefer the command line because you can specify a myriad of parameters that the GUIs can't initutively tell you.

  • SMC(Solaris Management Console) problem

    Hi
    I am trying to start SMC for managing the users and groups.But i am getting the following errors.
    bash-3.00# smc
    com.sun.management.viper.CriticalStopException: javax/help/JHelp
    at com.sun.management.viperimpl.console.gui.SMCConsole.start(SMCConsole.java:276)
    at com.sun.management.viperimpl.console.BaseConsoleOptionsManager.openConsole(Base ConsoleOptionsManager.java:752)

    at com.sun.management.viperimpl.console.BaseConsoleOptionsManager.main(BaseConsole OptionsManager.java:834)
    Could any one help me out.
    Thanks inadvance.

    Instead of using SMC - why not use the format command - this utility has traditionally allowed the sysadmin to perform disk related tasks. If you plan to be "playing around" with disks on a solaris system - smc is not the tool. If you had intended to use ZFS - you're stuck with the command line (really sucks if you're dependent on GUIs). Either use the free SVM command line or get a copy of Veritas Foundation Basic Suite "free" (but crippled - limited to 4 volumes and 4 filesystems) - http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/sfbasic/index.jsp. At least with Veritas - the GUI will step you thru the entire process of disk management. I can't say that for SVM, with a bit of persistence and skill - you might not be disappointed. I prefer the command line because you can specify a myriad of parameters that the GUIs can't initutively tell you.
