Using booleans to change a large number of parameters

Hi all,
We have a number of booleans. We want that when any one becomes TRUE, we would change a parameter in a different button.
If it was only one boolean, we would have no problem, but we have 36 such booleans. Does anyone have a way of programming this so that we don't have 36 nested IF cases? the booleans can become TRUE together.
To check if any boolean is true, we poll all of them in a while loop (they are hardware-connected and unfortunately the hardware is not built for interrupts, so polling is the only way).
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Danielle

Hi Mike,
It is unfortunately necessary to poll them.
The problem is not setting the values, it is knowing to which control to set the value. We get a number of booleans, and we need to check which are true and set our controls accordingly. for example, booleans 1,6 and 20 are true, so we need to change controls 101, 106 and 120. Other then checking each of the 36 booleans in 36 parallel IF loops, are there any suggestions for how to determine which controls we need to change?
Thanks,
Danielle

How to use type cast change string to number(dbl)?can it work?

how to use type cast change string to number(dbl)?can it work?

Do you want to Type Cast (function in the Advanced >> Data Manipulation palette) or Convert (functions in the String >> String/Number Conversion palette)?
2 simple examples:
"1" cast as I8 = 49 or 31 hex.
"1" converted to decimal = 1.
"20" cast as I16 = 12848 or 3230 hex.
"20" converted to decimal = 20.
Note that type casting a string to an integer results in a byte by byte conversion to the ASCII values.
32 hex is an ASCII "2" and 30 hex is an ASCII "0" so "20" cast as I16 becomes 3230 hex.
When type casting a string to a double, the string must conform the the IEEE 32 bit floating point representation, which is typically not easy to enter from the keyboard.
See tha attached LabView 6.1 example.

Passing large number of parameters

In chapter 6 of the reports 6i documentation it states that one of the advantages of using a ref cursor is to "avoid the use of lexical parameters in your reports". I am not clear how it does this. Can anyone explain how this would work?
In my application, I would like to print an exception report (ie use run_report) when an item in the base report exceeds a threshold amount. I would rather not pass all the subtotal values, as that would require passing a large number of parameters to the exception report. I can do it, but it seems like there should be an easier way. Passing a parameter of type RECORD would do it, but isn't allowed, right?
null

1. In some cases, you can avoid the use of lexical parameters in your reports
with "static" ref cursor.
Example for "static" ref cursor:
1.1 Stored package
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE report_static IS
TYPE type_ref_cur_sta IS REF CURSOR RETURN dept%ROWTYPE;
FUNCTION func_sta (p_order_by VARCHAR2) RETURN type_ref_cur_sta;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY report_static IS
FUNCTION func_sta (p_order_by VARCHAR2) RETURN type_ref_cur_sta IS
ref_cur_sta type_ref_cur_sta;
BEGIN
IF p_order_by = 'dname' THEN
OPEN ref_cur_sta FOR
SELECT * FROM dept ORDER BY dname;
ELSE
OPEN ref_cur_sta FOR
SELECT * FROM dept ORDER BY deptno;
END IF;
RETURN ref_cur_sta;
END;
END;
1.2 Query PL/SQL in Reports
function QR_1RefCurQuery return report_static.type_ref_cur_sta is
begin
return report_static.func_sta (:p_order_by);
end;
2. But if you need (for example) dynamic where, you (practically)
can't use "static" ref cursor. In this case, you can use "dynamic" ref cursor
(available from Oracle 8.1.5).
Example for "dynamic" ref cursor (note that Reports need
"static" ref cursor type for building Report Layout):
2.1 Stored package
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE report_dynamic IS
TYPE type_ref_cur_sta IS REF CURSOR RETURN dept%ROWTYPE; -- for Report Layout only
TYPE type_ref_cur_dyn IS REF CURSOR;
FUNCTION func_dyn (p_where VARCHAR2) RETURN type_ref_cur_dyn;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY report_dynamic IS
FUNCTION func_dyn (p_where VARCHAR2) RETURN type_ref_cur_dyn IS
ref_cur_dyn type_ref_cur_dyn;
BEGIN
OPEN ref_cur_dyn FOR
'SELECT * FROM dept WHERE ' | | NVL (p_where, '1 = 1');
RETURN ref_cur_dyn;
END;
END;
2.2 Query PL/SQL in Reports
function QR_1RefCurQuery return report_dynamic.type_ref_cur_sta is
begin
return report_dynamic.func_dyn (:p_where);
end;

LR 3.2 crashing when writing XMP changes to large number of files

I've been making some minor changes to a large number of images in bulk and have had LR 3.2 stop responding and crash numerous times. The changes seem to apply to the database, it's just the writing to XMP for a large number of images that crashes (it writes to many, but eventually crashes which is a problem because I'm not sure which ones have saved and which haven't).

The files are only 2MP each, and I have the same issue when I apply the changes to RAW files and JPG files. The error occurs though before any changes are applied, before the images would need to be recached, as when the error doesn't occur the dialogue box I mentioned pops up asking what to change.
Your specs sound more then enough I would think. Do you have set the option to Write cache to folders when possible and if so could you uncheck that option?
I don't have experience with this kind of numbers but I do dump the Bridge cache manually on a regular base (every new cycle it seems to be more stable so more interval in the periods of dumping cache) but my main folder contains usually around 6 to 7 K of DNG files from 21 MP dSLR. This starts caching without problems but takes a few hours before done.
Can't use the option cache for folder due to a longstanding problem with error message to replace the CacheT file, hence my question about your setting.
Also I have set the option to previews Always HQ and in the prefs have set the option to build monitor size previews.
As said, don't know the large numbers but the 2 MP files are very small and it should be possible for Bridge I would think?
Did you also try to create a new folder and place the files inthere. Or divide them in to three folders for testing?

Communicate large number of parameters and variables between Verstand and Labview Model

We have a dyno setup with a PXI-E chassis running Veristand 2014 and Inertia 2014. In order to enhance capabilities and timing of Veristand, I would like to use Labview models to perform tasks not possible by Veristand and Inertia. An example of this is to determine the maximum of a large number of thermocouples. Veristand has a compare funtion, but it compares only two values at a time. This makes for some lengthy and inflexible programming. Labview, on the other hand, has a function which aloows one to get the maximum of elements in an array in a single step. To use Labview I need to "send" the 50 or so thermocouples to the Labview model. In addition to the variables which need to be communicated between Veristand and Labview, I also need to present Labview with the threshold and confguration parameters. From the forums and user manuaIs understand that one has to use the connector pane in Labview and mapping in Veristand System Explorer to expose the inports and outports. The problem is that the Labview connector pane is limited to 27 I/O. How do I overcome that limitation?
BTW. I am fairly new to Labview and Versitand.
Thank you.
Richard

@Jarrod:
Thank you for the help. I created a simple test model and now understand how I can use clusters for a large number of variables. Regarding the mapping process: Can one map a folder of user channels to a cluster (one-step mapping)? Alternatively, I understand one can import a mapping (text) file in System Explorer. Is this import partial or does it replace all the mapping? The reason I am asking is that, if it is partial, then I can have separate mapping files for different configurations and my final mapping can be a combination of imported mapping files.
@SteveK:
Thank you for the hint on using a Custom Device. I understand that the Custom Device will be much more powerful and can be more generic. The problem at this stage is that my limitations in programming in Labview is far gretater than Labview models' limitations in Veristand. I'll definitely consider the Custom Device route once I am more provicient with LabView. Hopefully I'll be able to re-use some of the VI's I created for the LabView models.
Thanks

How do I use UTL_FILE to insert a large number of fields to a file?

Hi
I am trying to use UTL_FILE for the first time in a Stored Procedure. I need to run a complex query to select 50 fields from various tables. I need these to be inserted into one line in the output file for all rows. Is this possible? My procedure so far is like the following
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROC_TEST IS
output_file UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
BEGIN
FOR query in (SELECT FIELD1, FIELD2, ..........FIELD50)
FROM TABLE A, TABLE B
WHERE A.ID = B.ID
ETC
LOOP
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(output_file, <put all 50 fields for all records into file> );
END LOOP;
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE (output_file);
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
NULL;
WHEN OTHERS THEN
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
RAISE;
END PROC_TEST;
Do I need to define 'query' (after the FOR) anywhere, also please advise with how I put all of the fields into the file.
Thanks
GB

Thanks Steve,
I have the UTL_FILE working fine now.
I have other queries to run and conditions to apply in the same procedure, and I need to schedule via Enterprise Manager, therefore using UTL_FILE in a procedure seemed the best option. I looked up Data-pump but this seems to be an 11g feature, and we are still on 10g therefore I will not be able to use it.
Thanks for your help.

I would like to know If suppose my iphone is lost will the other guy can use it by changing the IME Number, will it be tracable if he does that

Hi
Any can help me out for my question

The only way to locate any lost iPhone is through Apple's Find My Phone. However, Find My Phone must be turned on/activated, & your phone must have Internet access. If someone finds your phone, and your phone was passcode protected, all the person has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it as a new device. Doing this will prevent your phone from being located. If you report the loss to your carrier, and your carrier offers blacklisting, the phone will not be able to be activated, for use, on that carrier's network. If your carrier does not offer blacklisting, your phone will be able to be activated for use.

Easy way to change large number of macs to Auto proxy (.pac) file

Hello all,
I need to change a large number of machines over to using a pac file instead of the current settings for secure and web proxys.
It's not possible using 10.4 CLI command "networksetup" but I'm wondering if anyone may have another way of doing this ? Possibly a script or something ???
I have seen in the 10.5 version this is now possible, but don't know how (or if it's possible) to get the new "networksetup" to work in 10.4 ...

How to change Org Unit for larg number of emplyees

Dear Guru's,
My client has uploaded wrong Org Units while hiring, now that has to be changed for larg number of employees.
Can any one suggest me how can we do this for larg number of employees?
Thanks in advance for your kind suggestions.
Regards,
Srinivas

Hello Srinivas;
By saying uploaded wrong organizational units, do you mean that organizational structure in PPOME is wrong or employee - position assignment is wrong?
If employee - position assignment is wrong then I suggest you to use batch input program or use LSMW as you have to change it via personnel action - PA40
If organizational structure is wrong, then do you have correct organizational structure in another system like test or qa?
If you have correct organizational structure then you can directly transport it from one system to other but if you don't then you first need to correct the organizational structure and then run LSMW or batch input.

How to handle a large number of query parameters for a Browse screen

I need to implement an advanced search functionality in a browse screen for a large table. The table has 80+ columns and therefore will have a large number of possible query parameters. The screen will be built on a modeled query with all
of the parameters marked as optional. Given the large number of parameters, I am thinking that it would be better to use a separate screen to receive the parameter input from the user, rather than a Popup. Is it possible for example to have a search
button on the browse screen (screen a) open a new screen (screen b) that contains all of the search parameters, have the user enter the parameters they want, then click a button to send all of the parameters back to screen a where the query is executed and
the search results are returned to the table control? This would effectively make screen b an advanced modal window for screen a. In addition, if the user were to execute the query, then want to change a parameter, they would need to be able to
re-open screen b and have all of their original parameters still set. How would you implement this, or otherwise deal with a large number of optional query parameters in the html client? My initial thinking is to store all of the parameters in
an object and use beforeShown/afterClosed to pass them between the screens, but I'm not quite sure how to make that work. TIA

Wow Josh, thanks. I have a lot of reading to do. What I ultimately plan to do with this (my other posts relate to this too), is have a separate screen for advanced filtering that also allows the user to save their queries if desired.
There is an excellent way to get at all of the query information in the Query_Executed() method. I just put an extra Boolean parameter in the query called "SaveQuery" and when true, the Query_Executed event triggers an entry into a table with
the query name, user name, and parameter value pairs that the user entered. Upon revisiting the screen, I want the user to be able to select from their saved queries and load all the screen parameters (screen properties) from their selected query.
I almost have it working. It may be as easy as marking all of the screen properties that are query parameters as screen parameters (not required), then passing them in from the saved query data (filtered by username, queryname, and selected
item). I'll post an update once I get it. Probably will have some more questions as I go through it. Thanks again!

Canvas Resize to Square for a large number of images using script. E.g. image is currently 1020 x 600, I would like to change this to 1020 x 600. PLEASE HELP

Hi All,
I have a large number of images that I need to resize the canvas sizes to a square, the images are currently in different sizes. For example, if an image is 1020 x 600 I would like to change the canvas to 1020 x 1020 so that the image becomes a square. I am using CS3 and all the images are jpeg's. I have done research on scripts but the ones I have tried have not worked. Please help.
Thanks.

Since you do not want to crop your images to a square 1:1 aspect ratio changing the canvas to be square will not make your images square they will retain their Aspect Ratio and image size will be changer to fit within your 1020 px square. There will be a border or borders on a side or two borders on opposite sides. You do not need a script because Photoshop ships with a Plug-in script to be used in Actions. What is good about Plugins is the support Actions. When you record the action the plug-in during action recording records the setting you use in its dialog into the actions step. When the Action is played the Plug-in use the recorded setting an bypasses displaying its dialog. So the Action can be Batch. The Action you would record would have two Steps. Step 1 menu File>Automate>Fit Image... in the Fit Image dialog enter 1020 in the width and height fields. Step 2 Canvas size enter 1020 pixels in width and height not relative leave the anchor point centered it you want even borders on two sides set color to white in the canvas size dialog. You can batch the action.
The above script will also work. Its squares the document then re-sizes to 1020x1020 the action re-sizes the image to fit with in an area 1020 x 1020 then add any missing canvas. The script like the action only process one image so it would also need to be batched. Record the script into and action and batch the action. As the author wrote. The script re size canvas did not specify an anchor point so the default center anchor point is uses like the action canvas will be added to two sides.

How to change the elements number in Number To Boolean Array Function VI

Hi, I'm working on using the DAQ digital output to control the digital input of a DAC, and I used the Number To Boolean Array Function. VI to convert the number to a Boolean array. The maximum number should be 4096, therefore it should consist of 12 elements.
For the description of the VI, it says Boolean array returns an array of 8, 16, 32, or 64 elements, depending on the number of bits in the integer. Therefore, I change the number of the channels in task to 16, but it still doesn't work. Any suggesitions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Possible reason(s):
Write cannot be performed, because the number of channels in the data does not match the number of channels in the task.
When writing, supply data for all channels in the task. Alternatively, modify the task to contain the same number of channels as the data written.
Number of Channels in Task: 12
Number of Channels in Data&colon; 32
Task Name: _unnamedTask<1B>

Once you have the boolean array, you can resize it using array tools. For example you can use "reshape array" with a lenght of 12 to trim the array to 12 booleans elements (you can also use array subset).
