Using GPIB-RS232 converter with an embedded application

Hi
I am quite new to GPIB, so this might be a rookie question Using my own embedded application I need to communicate with a couple of Agilent power sources to send commands and queries. I got a GPIB-RS232 converter from NI but I can't figure out from the online help wether I can directly write to the serial port attached to the NI GPIB-RS232 ans SCPI command. I would be grateful if you can help me out to find the documentation on how to communicate to several Agilent GPIB instruments connected to the NI GPIB-RS232 converter configured to work in mode S.
By the way, for testing I am developing the modules for my application on a desktop computer under linux using gcc c++ compiler.
Thank you!

Necessity of GPIB-RS232 Converter

Hello,
This may be a silly question but I just want to be sure.
Say I have a PC running Win7 and LabView and an instrument is connected to it with both a GPIB cable and and RS232 in its serial port. Will I be able to use VISA functions to send and receive serial data to the instrument or would it be better to use an NI GPIB-RS232 Converter? In what situations would said converter be useful?
Thanks!

Yes, you would use VISA with all three options. The fastest and more robust method is with GPIB. Personally, I see no point in the GPIB-RS232 converter. It's expensive and you are limited to the same RS232 baud rates that an inexpensive USB-RS232 converter gives you. I recommend FTDI based serial converters. You would probably need to modify any driver if you use the GPIB-RS232 as well.
The last time I saw and used the GPIB-RS232 converter was several years ago when I bought an instrument that the vendor said had a GPIB option. What it really had was the converter inside. Very disappointed by what I found.

Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X

Does anyone have any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X for Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 shooting in 1080 P 60 ( mts file extension)

Don't use these generic offbrand converters to get footage into FCP X. they re-encode your video and cause loss of quality. If FCP X cannot import your video then use a utility that simply re-wraps it into a quicktime file with no transcoding or loss. I prefer Clipwrap which works great and is updated frequently but there are free alternatives like Media Converter or Rewrap.
But version 10.04 of FCP X should import it directly from camera as long as the folder structure is complete and you are not trying to merely import it from single mts files.

Restarting in OS 9 to use Epson C86 printer with OS 9 applications

I've installed the software for the Epson C86 printer on my iMac (Panther, OS 10.3) and I want to use the printer with applications running in the Classic Environment. I've got the OS 9 System Folder installed. The printer instructions say to restart the iMac in OS 9 and choose the C86 icon in the Chooser.
When I'm running in the Classic environment, the C86 icon does not appear in the OS 9 Chooser, and OS 9 does not appear in the Startup Pane of System Preferences. When I restart holding down the option key, only the OS X icon appears.
How do I start up in OS 9--and more importantly, how do I use the Epson C86 on this machine with OS 9 applications?
Thanks for any enlightenment you can offer!

Thanks for your response. (This is electric-hair with a new ID--consider this item marked "resolved"!) I downloaded the updated driver for the C86 from the Epson website instead of using the CD that came with the printer and everything worked automatically, just fine.
Is it always better to download and use the software from a company's website for a peripheral than to use the software on the CD that comes with? Simply because of updates...or is there another reason?

Thanks for any enlightenment you can offer!

You cannot start up in OS 9. The last mac that could boot into 9 rolled off the assembly line several years ago. However, you may be able to print from Classic by installing the OS 9 driver for your printer into Classic, the same way you would install it into a bootable system.

How to use the HTTP Analyzer with the embedded OC4J server?

JDeveloper version: Studio Edition Version: 10.1.3.0.3.3412
I have a web application, which I run in the embedded OC4J server.
I tried to use the HTTP analyzer to inspect http requests and responses, but I could not make the analyzer work.
I tried to setup the HTTP analyzer by looking at the help entry, but I could not make it work.
If the HTTP analyzer works for you in the embedded OC4J server, please write the steps on how to setup the analyzer.
(Maybe I could not make the correct settings about port numbers?)
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Turgay Zengin

I was able to use the HTTP Analyzer by changing the proxy setting directly in Internet Options. Check the browser/proxy settings set in JDeveloper preferences and copy them to the Connections tab of Internet Options. See if that works for you.

Can we use Weblogic as WebServer with WebSphere as Application server??

Hi,
I need to know that there is an application (Temenos) which is running on Websphere(Application server). My question here is that Can we use WebLogic as WebServer that routes HTTP requests and response to Websphere?
If Yes, can anyone guide me or give me some link to do that?
Thanks & Regards,

When traveling in Europe, Im thinking of using the converter with the apple charger (110-240) to make sure i dont burn it out....will that work?

when traveling in Europe, Im thinking of using a power converter with my apple charger(110-240) to make sure i dont burn out my ipad mini or iphone 5.
will that work?

It is not necessary
Apple power supplies are made to use from 110 to 230 volts without any converter required
You will need adapters to get the pins to fit the wall sockets but that is it

Using a custom tag with a 2.3 servlet descriptor BUG?

Hi,
I just developed a Custom Tag and I'd like to use in my jsps.
If I add the jsp in my JDev project with the custom tag when I try to build the project I got this error:
Error(11): oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Invalid element 'listener' in content of 'web-app', expected elements '[context-param, servlet, servlet-mapping, session-config, mime-mapping, welcome-file-list, error-page, taglib, resource-ref, security-constraint, login-config, security-role, env-entry, ejb-ref]'.
It seems like when the jsp parser encounters the line with taglib it tries to parse the web.xml against a 2.2 version of the dtd. My web.xml begins with the correct dtd version (2.3). Can anyone tell me if this is a bug and eventually tell me how to solve it?
thanks,
Giovanni

I repost this issue again, now with a simple test case.
If I wrote a simple custom tag:
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport;
public class MyCustomTag extends TagSupport {
public int doStartTag() {
try {
pageContext.getOut().print("FOO");
} catch (IOException ioe) {
pageContext.getServletContext().log(ioe.getMessage(),ioe);
return(SKIP_BODY);
with the associated tld:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<taglib>
<tlibversion>1.0</tlibversion>
<jspversion>1.2</jspversion>
<shortname>try</shortname>
<uri>try</uri>
<info>A short description...</info>
<tag>
<name>mytag</name>
<tagclass>MyCustomTag</tagclass>
<bodycontent>EMPTY</bodycontent>
</tag>
</taglib>
and a jsp using the custom tag:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"%>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

<P>
<% out.println((new java.util.Date()).toString()); %>
<%@ taglib uri="try.tld" prefix="try" %>
<try:mytag />
</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
all runs fine if I have a web.xml with the dtd version 2.2
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>

I get the error I report in my last post. (the jsp doesn't compile) If I remove the custom tag from my jsp all works fine (filters, listeners,etc). In my project settings I use the 2.3 version of servlet.jar instead of the ServletRuntime that comes with JDeveloper.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue (Using simple custom tag with a web application using the 2.3 servlet specs)?

How can I export a Quicktime with Alpha embedded?

I have a few titles that I've created in Premiere. I've placed these titles into their own sequence and would like to export them as a Quicktime movie using the Animation codec with an embedded alpha channel (Millions+) so that I can import it into After Effects and do some animation work with them. I don't want them against black though.
When I Export Media in Premiere and select Quicktime with the Animation codec, the "code settings" button is greyed out.
Please help. There must be a way to export media with an embedded alpha channel like you can in FCP.
Thanks.

WoOWavE_Sync_Pro,
I don't see what is complicated about it at all. I don't mean to start an argument, but making a title is easy, exporting it with an Alpha channel is easy (as shown above). Where is the problem? Why go to TIFF? I certainly would never "export normally and key out the backgrounf (sic) in AE"
Perhaps you would care to explain your comments in more detail?
If you are interested in the font style I used, it came from Tim Kolb back in the CS3 days or before. I have a link to his styles on my web site. I used to count the downloads, but over the years I lost track.
Of course, having said that, if I was going to have a complicated title with motion, I would use AE to begin with. And I would probably use a downloaded template as a starting point. But that is because other people are more creative than I am. I am just a techie dabbling on the creative side of things.
By the way, I suppose I should get around to testing your product. If I like it, I will post a link on my web site to direct people to it. Feel free to send me an email from my web site telling me why people should use it and what you want people to know about it. And you might want to suggest how to test it as well. I used to get a LOT of visitors every day. It has cut way back since I have not been updating it. Now that I have started to update it again, I expect the visitor count will rise again. The moderator is only doing his/her job. This is a site sponsored by a corporation, and advertising for other companies is probably not good form (besides being against the rules).

WIth LabVIEW how do I control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a RS232 to USB converter cable.

WIth LabVIEW how do I control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a RS232 to USB converter cable since I dont have rs232 ports. I have two instruments that I want to control in this manner. One is an Imada ZPS force gage with RS232 output. The other is a Panasonic HL-G103-S-J laser micrometer sensor which is RS422. I've done considerable LabVIEW programming using GPIB but I have no experience with devices like these. Any tutorial or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I understand that you want to control a device which having RS 232 port as output. If so, you can use an USB-RS232 cable from PC to device and you can control or monitor the device.
See this link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2669
Also, first check the device in hyperterminal and then continue to program in labVIEW. You can find the serial VI's in Instrument I/O.

Application using JVM with IE embedded within it using its own JVM

I am developing on an application that uses JVM to run. Within this application an IE browser is being called. Subsequently IE browser is trying to run an applet which is trying to open another jvm.
It appears the version of Java I am using does not allow this. I believe this is fixed in a later release of java but don't know which one.
I must have tried about 5 or 6 different versions of java and each time either getting an ASDAS error or a registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE error.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Huh?
How exactly are you embedding IE into your app?
Normally IE is a seperate process and in that case nothing that your original JVM is doing will have any impact on that.
Of course the environment space that the spawned IE is being run with could very well impact it.
Of course if you are actually embedding it in your app versus spinning up another process then that would not apply. But off hand I can't ever recall seeing an article that suggested IE could be embedded in another application.
And what do you mean the applet is trying to run a jvm?
An applet runs in a JVM. The only way an applet (or just a java app) can run a jvm is by using Runtime.exec() or via JNI. Is that what you are doing?
