Sony/Tektronic Data Generator DG2020, driver to be upgraded from v3.1 to use in v6.0

I only have labview V6.0 and I have an tektronic instrument, it is a Data Generator, model DG2020. Its driver is for Labview V3.1 and encountered such problem V3.1 and V6.0 are not compatible. I asked support from Tektronix and they advise me that from V3.1, it is recommended to upgrade to V4.0 then after to V6.0, not from V3.1 straight to V6.0. However, I do not have V4.0. Can u pls help me how to resolve this? Thanks.

Hi Dora,
First check with your local NI Field rep. They may be willing to help you out, free of charge.
Otherwise,locate an NI Select Integrator or an Alliance Member in your area (NI web site will help with this).
If they have been around long enough, they should be able to round-up some of their old disks and set up a system to do what you need. Warning, this will not be easy or quick, so you may have to pay for the time, BUT, it will generally be cheaper than trying to re-write it yourself from scratch.

.PS file generating a blank PDF after upgrade from Acrobat Pro 7 to 9

Hi All,
I've searched for this in vain so I'm comming to you now in desperation. My boss has tasked me with tracking down this error and I have to be honest, I'm a little bit green with Acrobat Pro. So coming into the situation I know this. My department used to use a .ps file to build a publication into a PDF from other .ps files. We operate on a network share (the P: drive) on Windows XP SP3 machines with the latest updates.
In Acrobat Pro 7 we could double click the .ps file which executed the below code through Adobe Distiller and a finished PFD of the same file name would be output to the host directory. But now, after upgrading to Adobe Acrobat 9, this process only produces a PDF with all of the appropriate bookmarks and none of the content.
% PostScript program for distilling and combining multiple PostScript files.
% When embedding font subsets, it is highly recommended you use this technique
% to distill multiple PS files so only one font subset is used for each font.

Thank in advance for any help you can provide.

An observation -
It looks like you are dealing with files that reflect someone's work with the pdfmark Reference (associated with Distiller).
As with Acrobat Security, JavaScript and the Acrobat SDK the 'how-to' from these all undergo changes with each new Acrobat release.
I suspect that the coding, while adequate for back when Acrobat 7 was new on the street, may have to be updated to comply with what the Distiller provided with Acrobat 9 supports.
Use the link for pdfmark Reference
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/wwdistiller.html
The Acrobat Developer Center ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat.html ) provides a hub to the myriad of "under-the-hood" aspects of Acrobat.

Will i loose data, in outlook mails when i upgrade from OS X 10.9.5 to Yosemite

i am using a mac pro late 2013 version. at presen have os x 10.9.5, looking forward to update to OS yosemite. i am afraid that i would loose my data in my computer, especially will my outlook mails will be deleted . need to know wether we will loose data while upgrading the OS.

A few users have reported data loss while upgrading Mac OSX or even after updating Office. So, the best practice would be to export all email data in OLM format using outlook and also to save a copy of Microsoft User Data folder with Main Identity at a separate location such as a portable Hard drive and then only update the Mac OSX or outlook. This way if you face any issues, you have an option to go back to mavericks and get the things working exactly as they are now or alternately recover emails from the backup if you wish to stay on new OS.
I also upgraded to Yosemite and lost many outlook files and folders. I did not had any backups and was stuck completely. I researched and came to know that outlook stores messages in olk14 format. Then, I looked online for olk14 message recovery as I had some very important emails downloaded in outlook and didn't expect it to stop functioning by just upgrading Mac OSX. However, at a later stage I was able to recover messages from olk14 format. Though it costed a bit, but I was happy to get my email messages back.

Can you format your hard-drive while upgrading from Leopard do Snow Leopard (upgrade version)?

Hello,
I want to purchase Snow Leopard (upgrade version) but I was planning on doing a format when installing it.
Is it possible?
Thank you!

Yes, the 10.6.3 white retail disk can upgrade 10.5 to 10.6 via the installer, but you can also hold c or option key down while booting from the disk and use Disk Utility to Erase and then install 10.6 fresh.
Naturally all programs and user file will be removed, so you need to backup files first and take stock of your programs that will have to be reinstalled again from original sources.
To get the white 10.6.3 disk, call Apple via the phone, it's not sold online anymore, or search Amazon.com or amc related websites for the disk.
Most commonly used backup methods
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
However if you choose to upgrade over 10.5, keeping your programs and files (backup files regardless) intact and it proceeds just fine, but want to improve the performance, you can use this method
How to properly defrag a Mac's hard drive
If your upgrading from 10.5 to get to 10.7 or 10.8, I don't advise it. Software Update to 10.6.8 max and stay there, your machine is too old.

I bought an external hard drive in June (this yr) and it suddenly stopped appearing on the desktop. Disk Utility could see it. It wasn't the cord - now that I've tried that, the ext won't even turn on. I need that data off the drive BADLY! Help!!??

The drive stopped showing up consistently at first, then stopped all together. Disk Utilities could see it, verify it but not repair. I need it backed up. I took it to a local computer shop who tried a different cord. Nothing. When I got home, I read through several support forums dealing with this issue. One said I needed to zap my PRAM on my MacBook. I did so. Now the external won't even turn on! Any hope of getting the data off that drive? It is still under warranty but undoubtedly the firm will NOT attempt to back up the drive before issuing a new one. I downloaded something called TestDisk 6 that another forum suggested but no one offered any clue how to use it. I cannot figure the first thing to do with it! It appears to may be a Windows formatted program, anyway as most of the instructions end in the suffix .exe. I'm at a total loss...both personally as well as having already lost a complete week of business. Any suggestions would be appreciated but please note - I am NOT that computer literate. Just telling me to download something won't help me if I can't figure out what to do once it is downloaded. Also, taking this hard drive apart will void my warranty. Not that that is the biggest of my worries at this point but I wouldn't have the first clue anyway! I live in an area where we have something called Mac Authority in the mall and a Best Buy. Those are the only 2 connections to Mac-related stuff I have access to. Help!!! Please?

If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
Cheapest option:
1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.

Can not access data generator in HANA SHINE Content

Hi Expert,
After import Delivey Unit of SHINE Content, then i was told by the Guide Book that i could use data generator to generate demo data by access URL
http://<myServer>:<XS Port>/sap/hana/democontent/epm/admin/ui/WebContent/admin.html
STEP1:I used SYSTEM on the HANA login page
STEP2:Error 404 refelect
Does anyone else have encountered this problem?
Message was edited by: Tom Flanagan

You might check the repository browser, but I don't believe that URL is correct. There is no ui or WebContent folder in the path in my system. Its just /sap/hana/democontent/epm/admin/
But I suggest checking the folder structure in the Repositories view in your own system to make sure. My system is a new version and could be different than what you are seeing. However this would explain why you are getting the 404.
Also make sure that SYSTEM has the necessary SHINE admin role added.

Does reinstalling OSX delete the data on the drive?

Does reinstalling OSX via recovery drive delete any data on the drive? Basically, I think the install of yosemite I have now is messed up and needs to be redone. Safari doesn't open in normal start up mode but opens in safe mode. I figured a reinstall of OSX would help? Does reinstalling it remove all the data on the drive? Or does it detect that there is data there and leaves it alone? Thanks in advance.

Hey Kpe413,
Thanks for the question. Using the built-in recovery disk to reinstall OS X will keep your files and user settings intact. However, you should always make a back up of your data via Time Machine or manual methods in case you run into any issues. For more information, check out the following resources:

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup. How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation back onto the new hard drive on my pc.

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
Help!

No backup is a huge mistake.

I have a big problem with Lion and PGP. After upgrading from snow leopard to lion I cannot access my PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start but gives a notion that lion cannot work with my PGP version. Solution?

After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I cannot access a PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start. When I try to start I just receive a message that Lion cannot work with PGP. How can I now access important and confifential informatio which I have stored in PGP (snow leopard). Do I have to move back to snow leopard. If so, how can I do this?

If you have this product,

I want to use Get Panel Image in Labview 5.0.1 and need details on how to save the BMP data generated

I am trying to generate an application that saves a copy of its front panel on completion. This is easy to do using an invoke node with Print VI to HTML but this does not work in an .exe format. I have seen elsewhere that you have to use the Get Panel Image method, but no details are supplied in LV 5.0.1 documentation of how to use the "image" data (1-D Unsigned Byte array) that is generated. I want to save this in a format that can then be read as a bitmap in any standard graphics package. Any assistance?

Hi,
If you'd upgrade to LV5.1 or 6 you could use the 'standard' vi's for this.
You need a VI called "Write BMP File.vi". It's not shipped with LV5.0.1.
This vi only uses 3 subVI's, so perhaps someone at NI can convert it and
send it to you (sorry, I won't, it's copywrited).
If you cannot get this VI anywhere, you'll need to figure out the BMP file
format yourself. It's not too complicated, but still could take some days.
Perhaps someone figured it out before LV5.1 was released.
Regards,
Wiebe.

HT5287 If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?

If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?
Or am I missing the bigger picture?

As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

Sony Image Data Converter no longer opens RAW files

After upgrading to Snow Leopard Sony Image Data Converter (ver 3.1) cannot open my RAW files. It sees the files but claims they are 0x0 pixels in size. It worked fine with Leopard 10.5.8.

Image Data Converter v2.2.02 also fails to open any files but was OK in 10.5.8. Image Data Lightbox v1.0.02 does run OK, opens a directory of files fine, and converts them. The app crashes on exit every time however!
Adobe Camera RAW and Adobe Elements v6 all work perfectly well. But I have never been able to see ARW images in Adobe Bridge!

Calculations in Xcelsius using data generated by a Web Service Connection

Hi,
I have set up a web service connection to pull in 4 columns of data: 1. CATEGORY 2. SUBCATEGORY 3. PRODUCT TYPE   4.#OFCALLS. There will be anywhere from 1 to 500 rows of data depending on day of week and time of day. The web service sorts the list by #OFCALLS descending. The OUTPUT VALUES of the web service connection are mapped to cells A19:D518.
Formulas in the spreadsheet take the Top 10 from the list and populate it to cells A4:D13. A formula in cell D15 sums the #OFCALLS for the entire web service connection output (A19:D518).
The data in A4:D15 is mapped to a spreadsheet table on my canvas.   When the report generates, the data from the TOP 10 of the web service connection populates properly, but the cell that should reflect the TOTAL#OFCALLS (D15) shows zero.
Is it not possible to do additional calculations in the spreadsheet based on data generated by the web service connection? A major difference between using an XML Map and a Web Service Connection is the XML Map actually populates the spreadsheet with the new data when it is refreshed. The Web Service connection data never actually appears in the spreadsheet itself, even though it updates to the appropriate vessel on the canvas.   This makes me think that no additional calculations can be done in the spreadsheet based on the web service connection data.
Can anyone tell me if that is correct? If so, then the web service connection would also have to pull in the TOTAL#OFCALLS along with the other data.   This would also seem to greatly limit what you could do with data generated by a web service connection, so I am hoping I am wrong and just don't understand how to do this.
Can anyone clarify this for me? If I failed to give any pertinent info let me know what it is, and I will update my post.
Thanks!

I have seen similar behavior as well. I have live data coming into Xcelsius from a data connection.
A supported Excel formula
=IF(ISBLANK(J2),I2,VALUE(TODAY()-J2))
is then applied to one of the columns to create an additional derived column.
Taking a snapshot of the data shows that the derived column is being populated, however the controls I've tried hooking up to the derived column (charts and labels) are always empty.
Information on whether this is supported would be appreciated.
Thank you,
David
