To coerce passed values, use the In Range and Coerce function.

-" Device Number for Card 1 uses data range coercion, which now only applies to data entry; values will not be coerced when passed to subVIs. To coerce passed values, use the In Range and Coerce function."
Hi,
I had program runnning fine in labview version 5.0, Recently i updated to labview version 6.0, but when i opened file i will see many warnings like above.
I saved the file as 6.0, all the warnings are gone and program compiles as well but i am not sure saving as 6.0 eliminate those problems like..."value will not be coereced when passed to subvis"

It means that some of your controls use coercion to alter data if it is not within a range. In LV 5.0 this worked for either typing the data into the control or passing it through the connector as a sub-vi. In 6.0 the data won't be coerced if it has been passed through the connector as a sub-vi, only if it is entered on the front panel. If your sub-vis relied on this coercion to operate properly then you will need to add the "In Range and Coerce" function to your block diagram to manipulate these values. If the coercion wasn't important then disregard the warning.
Hope this helps
Brian

Can't use the Calendar, Book, and Card functions

I have updated my iLife programs to iLife 08 and cannot use the Calendar, Book, and Card functions as the program says the themes have not been installed. However, after looking in the Library/Applications Support/iPhoto folder, the themes are there but not being recognized by the program. I have reinstalled iLife 08 but still to no avail. Help!

Grant:
Try the following:
A. look for a folder title Themes in the User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder. If you find one there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot.
If that doesn't jump start iPhoto then go on to B.
B.
Restoring iPhoto Themes
1 - delete the current application.
2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
3 - delete the Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder.
Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.
5 - boot into the system disk that came with your computer and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.
After installing reinstall the iPhoto 7.1.1 updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime, 7.3.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system. Now' I cannot write on my Contacts or Calendar apps, and my Pages app (purchased) has lost the ability to use the bold, underline, and italics functions. Does anyone know how to fix these

I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system. Now, I cannot add to my contacts or calendar apps, and Pages ( which I purchased) is not allowing me to use the bold, underline, and italics functions. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

No, it stays with the current OS (iOS5 in this case) - Apple doesn't allow downgrading iOS
If you are syncing to a desktop, you shoudln't lose anything. If you aren't syncing, then that's the first thing you should do, to protect contacts etc.
the other thing is, when the iPad is connected to iTunes, right-click its name in the Devices list and choose Back Up.
That way, when yoiu do the restore, everything should come back as was.

I am using a 6024E DAQ Card. Software is done in VB5. When closing the application is there anything that I have to do to close the card or just simply exiting is OK ? I am just using the AIRead_Scan and DigInPort functions.

When using the 6024E DAQ card, with VB5, is there anything that one has to do to close / shutdown the card before exiting the application. The application only uses AIRead_Scan and DigIn_Port functions.

Hello,
You won't need any other functions after AI_Read_Scan or after DIG_In_Prt since both functions are for none buffered acquisitions.
For more information, I recommend that you take a look at the shipping examples that get installed under the folder C:\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples
Good luck with your application!

I have an array in which I want to check and see if it falls within a certain range with about 7 different ranges. I have tried the range and coerce function but something is going wrong.

Also, I have a timer that lets me know how long the trigger has been active. I want to know if it is possible if that time would be reset everytime the trigger goes off.

1. Do not run using the Continuous Run button! This is intended only for certain types of trouble shooting and not for normal operation.
2. Put a while loop around your entire program. Add a stop button wired to the stop terminal of the loop.
3. Then you can replace all the feedback nodes with one shift register with the input expanded to five elements. Sum the three bottom ones for your averaging.
4. Nothing is wrong with the In Range and Coerce. You should only check it when you have data. That is what the Data Available output from Trigger and Gate is for.
5. I am not sure what you want to reset for your timer or exactly when, but it should be possible.
6. I did not try to figure it all out but you may not need the timer while loop once you wrap the loop suggested in 2 around the rest of the code. You may be able to move the shift registers to the outer loop.

In range and coerce oddity

From the v. 8.6.1f1 help file
To change whether the function includes the value wired to upper limit or lower limit, right-click the function and select Include upper limit or Include lower limit from the shortcut menu to include or remove the value in the range. These options only affect the result of In Range?. The function always coerces x to the exact values of upper limit or lower limit, regardless of whether you select Include upper limit or Include lower limit from the shortcut menu.
Is there a reason for this? I was trying to coerce something and it took me a fair amount of time to realize what was happening and to look into the help file. Frankly, I'm kind of surprised I haven't run into this yet.

If your array size is 10, you're telling the function to coerce between 0 and 10 which are actually 11 elements.
That's wrong. I understand what you're trying to do with the "do not include upper limit" but that's not what it is there for. It's there for only the "In range" portion of the "In range and coerce".
Just input a -1 before the in range and coerce function and you're all set.
The function works exactly as it says on the box. Adapt and survive.
Plus, you openly admit that your "solution" creates additional problems. This is far too small an issue to warrant revising how a quite frequently-used primitive should behave. If you want you can create your own sub-VI (inline it if you want) to do exactly what you're looking for. This, at least, won't break everyone else's software who uses this function properly.

Latch an "In Range and Coerce" Output until Reset

I have numerous voltages and signals that I am reading from an PXI system. Each of these signals needs to fall between a minimum and maximum.
Right now, the entire "program" is running inside of a While Loop. Each signal is being read and then passed to an "In Range and Coerce". This function is working well, in that it notifies me when the value falls outside of the maximum and minimum. But what I need to do is to "latch" the output from the "In Range and Coerce" until I have completed other functions also running in this While Loop.
I'm very new to LabView and a hardware engineer on top of that. I know that the way I'm doing this is probably not the best way. I am open to any suggestions.
Thanks,
-Steve

It sounds to me like the kind of "latching" you're looking for is automatically available to you as a side-effect of LabVIEW's "dataflow" nature.
Once a value exits an output terminal of the "In Range and Coerce" function, all wire paths connected to that output will receive the exact same value. I.e., once a value gets on a wire, it remains constant through all branchings connected to that wire. If you turn on debug highlighting mode, you'll see what this means more visually.
A common source of LabVIEW problems for people experienced in text languages is overuse of local and/or global variables. Perhaps this is the root of your issues with "latching?"
In text languages, data is contained within and "transported" by variables. In LabVIEW, data is contained within and transported by wires. In LabVIEW, variables and controls/indicators are just termination points to allow the data to be displayed or passed to/from calling functions. They aren't really important in and of themselves.

[Bug?] In Range and Coerce Comparison Mode

It seems that changing the Comparison Mode of the IR&C function with Arrays or Clusters attached does not trigger Type Propagation, or whatever is responsible for selecting the proper instance. For example, if I wire up three arrays to the inputs of IR&C, change comparison mode to Compare Aggregates, then create an Indicator from the In Range? output, the result is the wrong indicator and a broken wire. Likewise, I can change the mode on an IR&C function with a wired In Range? output and it will not break the wire until a later change triggers a recompile or type propagation.
LV10 (not SP1) and Win7.
Solved!

Hi Darin,
As mentioned, that CAR refers specifically to clusters and the 'In Range?' boolean output of the In Range and Coerce function. The specific VI that showed the issue always had an In Range output of true for all elements of the cluster except the first. However, it is worth note that the Coerced results showed correct behavior, unbundling showed correct behavior, changing the numeric representation of the compared elements (even changing back to the original representation of U32) corrected the behavior, this error is fixed in LabVIEW 2011, and when I recreated the VI from scratchn in LabVIEW 2010 it behaved as expected.
So, it is very unlikely that the error fixed in this CAR will impact your use of the In Range and Coerce function.

Upper Limit In Range and Coerce

I found a bug with the In Range and Coerce function, and I tried searching but I didn't see if anyone posted the issue before. Anyways, the Lower Limit is inclusive for the In Range indicator and the Upper Limit is not:
Using U32, set the Upper limit to 5 and lower limit to 1. When x = 1, In Range is True, and when x = 5 In Range is False.
Took a little bit of time to figure out why my code wasn't working... but just fyi if no one is aware.

That's kind of a unique situation... I was thinking more likely to see if an array index is valid. In my mind inclusive is intuitive, but I guess I wouldn't have found out about the setting if it was intuitive.

In range and coerce binary operation

How do I implment the "in range and coerce" function with binary operation? I want to do that to make my fpga code more efficient.
Kudos and Accepted as Solution are welcome!

What exactly do you mean by "binary operation"? I am assuming you are dealing with integers here to make life simple.
The In Range portion is just a simple Less Than and a More Than with an AND ( x < UL && x > LL). The Coerce portion would likely be best done with Select nodes based on the Less Than and the More Than comparisons.

Hi DH, sorry for not being clear.
It works when I create the connection from that web part that you want to be connected with the Query String Filter Web part. So let's say you created a web part page. Then you could connect a parameterized Excel Workbook to an Excel Web Access Web Part
(or a Performance Point Dashboard etc.) and you insert it into your page and add
a Query String Filter Web Part . Then you can connect them by editing the Query String Filter Web Part but also by editing the Excel Web Access Web Part. And only when I created from the latter it worked
with multiple values for one parameter. If you have any more questions let me know. See you, Ingo

How to pass input value to the IN parameter in a function

Hi ,
I'm new to pl/sql programming.
The below function is used inside a package and the package is invoked in visual studio.
The function uses 2 input parameters.
Out of which 'in_report_parameter_id' value comes thru job processor service 's job request.
The second IN paramter values are hard coded in the function.
I'm not able to understand this.
If the values are hard coded , how to make sure that only the hard coded values are the right ones?
Please anyone could explain to me?
I really dont have good idea about how to pass INPUT parameter to the functions or procedure
Is there any nice document which could give me good understanding about what are the ways or types we could pass values to the input parameter in subprograms?
thanks in advance.

This is not a design I would use, but should work if coded properly. I would probably build a reference cursor query as text and use one open fetch and close.
You have 2 input parameters, in_report_parameter_id and in_which. I could not find where in_report_parameter_id was used in the program, but the value passed in for in_which is being used in IF logic to decide how to open the cursor. After the cursor is open rows are being fetched and eventually the cursor is closed.
The values in_which are compared to are hard-coded. It is the programmer's job to make sure the values listed are the right values and the actions taken are also correct. Your program is assuming that if the first 2 values are not encountered the third one listed is the one you want.
To pass input values to a procedure you merely provide the values as a literal or variable in the call, something like
whatever := get_class_text_str(1,'SELECT');

Error while using the Geospatial Range FIlter

Marco,
you are dealing here with trying to use a function DISTANCE on mdex:geocode type and mdex:geocode-set, where:
mdex:geocode Represents a latitude and longitude pair. Used for atomic values (from single-assign geocode attributes).
mdex:geocode-set Represents a latitude and longitude pair. Used for sets (from multi-assign geocode attributes).
However, many functions and operators work on atomic data types and do not support sets.
Quoting from the EQL Guide:
Important: With three exceptions, all the functions and operators described in this chapter work only on atomic data types. That is, they are not supported with sets. The three exceptions are
ARB,COUNT, and
COUNTDISTINCT. For information on the set functions, see Sets and Multi-assign Data.

Trouble Passing Values Using onClick Event

I have a page with a div, <div id= PF_Text_Panel></>, containing text describing an image, the image is in a separate div. Using CSS the text panel is on top of the image and covers about 1/3 of the image’s left side. A slide effect, handled by the function Slide, targets the PF_Text_Panel div. The function Slide is triggered by an onClick event allowing the user to slide the description to the left and reveal the entire image.
The function Slide contains an if statement. The if statement is used to determine if PF_Text_Panel is open or closed using the variable SldPnlState as a flag like this; if the variable SldPnlState ==1, then run Slide. The other part of this function, which actually slides the div is an instance of the Slide Effect, inserted using Dreamweaver CS4.
The variable SldPnlState is set using the function setSldPnlState
The function setSldPnlState, initiated by an onClick, passes a value to the variable SldPnlState, in this case it can be set to either 0 or 1 by separate onClick events
To test if the variable SldPnlState is being passed from the onClick event to the variable I included the function printVar which writes the value of the variable SldPnlState to the screen.
I believe that the Spry effect Slide portion of the function works because if I go into the code and manually set the variable SldPnlState to 1 the function Slide works and if I set it to 0 the function Slide does not work.
This the bug:
printVar indicates that the value is being passed the variable SldPnlState, it displays either a 1 or 0 as expected.
The function Slide does not work however, when the variable SldPnlState should be set by the onClick event passing the value using the function setSldPnlState. It does not seem like the value is being passed from the onClick event triggering the function or that somehow the script stops running.
You can demo the page at: http://dg-ad.com/Slide_Effect_Logic_Parameter.html
Attached is the code, if anyone has some suggestions I would really appreciate hearing from you

<script src="SpryAssets/SpryEffects.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

var SldPnlState = (1);

        <a href="#" onclick="setSldPnlState(0);">Set var SldPnlState to Flag Status Set Closed (0)</a><br><br><br>
        <a href="#" onclick="printVar();">Print Flag Status to Screen</a><br><br><br>
        <div id="test_display" style="border:#9CC thick groove; width:50px; height:50px; margin:15px; text-align:center; font-size:36px;"></div>

<div id="PF_Text" class="PF_Text">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var panelWidget_1=new Spry.Widget.HTMLPanel('PF_Text');
    </script>
</div>

Thanks so much for taking a look at this. The whole reason I am doing this is that I couldn't find a state indicator flag in the Spry.Effect.DoSlide effect.
I see that the htmlPanel does not have a bearing on the problem as you mentioned but not having the javascript doesn't matter either. I am using the Spry.Effect.DoSlide effect, it is in the head, in the function with the if statement, and it is making the div"PF_Text_Panel slide which works fine including the if statement. If I set the var SldPnlState = (1) it works set it to 0 and the slide effect is disabled. I need to be able to change the variable using an onclick event.
The problem as you mention is with the function SldPnlState = flagToggle; This is what I need to do. I need to pass a value to the variable SldPnlState from an onclick event. As the function Slide is set up, with an if statement, the div will slide if SldPnlState=1 and the slide function will turn off if SldPnlState=0. However when I do the onclick="setSldPnlState(1);"event there is no effect on the Slide function. The value seems to pass to the variable tSldPnlState since I can get the value of this same variable to display using the function printVar() which will display 1 or 0 depending on which onclick event I run. It seems like the I can pass the variable from the onclick event it's just that if statement in the function MM_effectSlide never sees it. I don't know enough to trouble shoot this. But I will take a closer look at the SldPnlState = flagToggle; part as you suggest.

Cannot pass Value Using getURL() in Flex 2.0

I have pasted a piece of code to pass value using query
string,I am sure there wouldn't be any problem with code.But I get
error calling getURL() method.
The error I am getting on compilation is,
Call to a possibly undefined method getURL.
4: {
5: getURL("QueryStringSample.mxml");
6: }
I also tried giving entire url as "
http://localhost:8080/Test/QueryStringSample.mxml",
since I am running the application using local Tomcat server.both
the mxml apps,That is, calling.mxml(PassParam.mxml) and
called.mxml(QueryStringSample.mxml) are in same package/Folder
(Test).
what is the cause for this probblem .
my code..
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
>
<mx:Script>
function passVal():void
getURL("QueryStringSample.mxml");
</mx:Script>
<mx:VBox>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Label text="Name: " />
<mx:TextInput id="nameInput" />
</mx:HBox>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Label text="Hometown: " />
<mx:TextInput id="homeTownInput" />
</mx:HBox>
<mx:Button label="pass param" click="passVal();" />
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Application>
Thanks in Advance.

Now that the Flex 2.0 forums are all set up, it is time to
start using them for 2.0 questions. So in the future, don't post
2.0 questions here.
In the meantime, getURL has been changed to navigateToURL().
See the docs for details.
Also, I think you are mixing Flex 1.5 and 2.0. 2.0 does not
use a server, and you do not call mxml file directly. Instead you
compile the swf with FlexBuilder or the command line compiler, and
call the html wrapper.
