Using the output of one layer as an alpha channel for another

I was messing around last night trying to create my own sharpen edges filter. I duplicated a nested layer, applied find edges to the top one, then used the track matte filter on the one below, set the layer above as the target for the effect, and chose luma. Could not get it to work. I then attempted to make the layer above have alpha by using an luma key and changed the track matte to use alpha, but that didn't work either.
Is there a way to do this?

Be easier to understand if you showed what you are trying to achieve.
I got lost half way thru 2nd sentence.

What is the best way to run two programs simulataneously using the output from one to run the other?

I just kind of wanted to get an opinion from some people on here. I have two main VIs. The first is a DAQ system that reads 99 different sensors and feeds that data into an array. The second is a real-time processing system that is designed to take the array and do numerous calculations. Both VIs output data to the front panel that I want to see, so I don't want to just use one as a SubVI.
Is there a simple way to run both VIs, using the output from the DAQ system to feed the processor so that you can easily see the front panels of both VIs? I had considered just copying the real-time processor code into the DAQ VI, but I'm worried the resultant VI will be very large and unsightly.
On a side note, am I over thinking this? Excuse me if this is a rather dumb question, it's been a long week...aaaand it's Wednesday.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are a number of ways that you can go about this, but having both front panels open isn't a problem (assuming there is screen space!). Both could be sub-vi's of another "calling" vi, with their front panels set to open when called. The data from the DAQ side can be sent to the other through a number of ways, "producer-consumer" (many threads about this topic, examples in the LabVIEW examples, etc.) is one of the more robust techniques. If created correctly it allows one to run at a different rate than the other, although if the producer is "producing" much faster than the consumer can "consume" it will end up with problems.

Issues with using the output redirection character with newer NXOS versions?

Has anyone seen any issues with using the output redirection character with newer NXOS versions?
Am receiving "Error 0x40870004 while copying."
Simply copying a file from bootflash to tftp is ok.
This occurs for both 3CDaemon and Tftpd32 softwares.
Have tried it on multiple switches - same issue.
Any known bugs?
thanks!
The following is an example of bad (NXOS4.1.1b) and good (SANOS3.2.1a)

Please check with new version of TFTPD 32 server. The error may be due to older version of TFPT server, the new version available solved this error. Files are getting uploaded with no issues.
1. Download tftpd32b.zip from:
http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html
2. Copy the tftpd32b.zip file into an empty directory and extract it.
3. Copy the file you want to transver into the directory containing tftpd32.exe.
4. Run tftpd32.exe from that directory. The "Base Directory" field should show the path to the directory containing the file you want to transfer.
At this point, the tftpserver is ready to begin serving files. As devices request files, the main tftpd32 window will log the requests.
Best Regards...

How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's appearing and disappearing?

How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's
appearing and disappearing? What I want is when I push the button on
one button . another panel appears to display something and when I
push it again, that the second panel disappears.

You want to use a combination of three features, a button on the panel,
code to notice value changes using either polling in a state machine of
some sort or an event structure, and a VI Server property node to set
the Visible property of the VI being opened and closed.
The button exists on the controlling panel. The code to notice value
changes is probably on the controlling panel's diagram, and this diagram
sets the Visible property node of a VI class property node to FALSE or
TRUE to show or
hide the panel. To get the VI reference to wire to the
property node, you probably want to use the Open VI Reference node with
the VI name.

Is there anyway to have an application use the output for Alerts/Sound Effects?

I am trying to set some applications to use the output designated for the System Alerts and Sound Effects, while other applications continue to use the regular Output? I am using the Audio MIDI Utility with Aggregate/Multiple Outputs.

An action can specify the resources that it needs, which will trigger alerts if they are not there. Assuming that the system resources are there, you can include actions in an application bundle - see the Installing Actions section of the Automator Programming Guide.

We have 30 ipads at our school and it is great. We are about 850 student on my school and everyone are using the ipads. One hour at the time. (we have a booking system.)
I teach music and are using Garageband. I need to find away were my students that are working on a project can export the files and save them somewhere, so when they 7 days later open Garage band can import there song with all the correct midi-tracks. When I export the song to Icloud the song become an Mp4 file (I think). And I can import the files via Icloude.
This is because too many times the song has been sabotages during the week
Dan Sweden

Dan,
your students could store their projects in iCloud, only you would continously have to change the AppleIDs of the iPads, so each student could store the songs with their own AppleID. I don't think this will be feasable.
The other possibility would be to share the projects to iTunes and to download them to iTunes on a Mac at the end of each lesson. Does your school have Macs? This will not work with PCs.
See this link: GarageBand for iPad: Get answers fast http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.2/index.html#chsec12c387
Look at the section "Share GarageBand songs",

First podcast uploaded with the wrong title? It is using the title of one of the podcasts and not showing the name only of the speaker?

I uploaded 7 podcasts using Podomatic. iTunes is using the titles of one of the podcasts as the title for the page. I need to change the page title and also remove my name (not sure why my name was posted instead of the name of the podcast speaker). Do I need to delete the whole Album and start over, or can I edit the title? https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/accelerating-your-due-season/id659519611. Thanks for help. This is my first time doing this.

iTunes is simply reproducing what is in the relevant tags in the feed:
<title>Attracting the Glory - Dr. Russell Plilar</title>
<itunes:author>Maureen Brichetto</itunes:author>
You need to change them in Podomatic wherever you originally entered the data and republish the feed. The Store should pick up the changes after a couple of days or so, though it's possible it might not do so until you post a new episode.

I want to use the audio from one of my clips and the video of another can I do this?

I have two different video clips that I took from my still camera. I want to use the audio from one of the clips and the video from the other at the same time in imovie can I do this and if yes how

Yes.
First go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
Now, drag the clip with the Video into the project.
Drag the clip with the Audio and drop it on the first clip at the frame where you want it to begin. A popup menu should appear. Choose Audio Only. You may then want to open Inspector for the video clip (by clicking the little gear icon at the top left of the clip) and going to the audio tab. Here you can turn down the volume of the video clip, so that all you hear is the audio clip.
Another way. Put the video clip that has the Audio you want in first. Then drag the clip with the video you want and drop it on the clip that has the audio you want. A popup menu will appear. Choose CUTAWAY.

How to use one variable as a default value for another variable?

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to use one variable as a default value for another variable?
For example:
Variable 1 = current calendar year month
Variable 2 = mandatory input ready variable for calendar year month
I want to use variable 1 as default value for variable 2, but also have the ability to change the month if required.
Thanks!
Kathryn

u can use replacement path variable
in that case u can replace the values of 1 variable with the another variable...
but u cannot do this setting
u cannot make variable 2 as mandatory
u cannot enter value for variable 2
because by default it will take the value of variable 1
u have to make follow settings
variable 2
name , technical name
processing by = replacement path
infoobject = ocalmonth
next tab
replaced by another variable
variable name
offset start , offset lenght
save and hit okey

Using the pre-configured SCCM 2012 SP1 endpoint protection templates for Exchange 2010?

I am looking to update the exclusions for SCCM Endpoint Protect clients performing server AV protection on Exchange 2010 nodes.
Within SC there are a number of pre-defined templates, including ones for Exchange 2007 / 2010. However when I analyse these they do not appear to list all the exclusions that the Exchange product team define on TechNet -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332342(v=exchg.141).aspx
So do I;
1 - Use the template as it has been verified by Microsoft for using with Exchange 2010 and it covers all I need to exclude?
2 - Edit the template, adding in the additional exclusions as defined by the Exchange product team?
Would whichever logic I use apply to other templates, such as SQL, SharePoint, etc as well?
Thank you
Alan

As I cut and pasted the xml file I noticed the following comment that I had missed before..........
        
        
        
Still going with adding the full recommended list from TechNet though

I downloaded Aperture 3 from the App Store one year ago, it now asks for a serial number before I can open it, where can I find this? Thanks.

Hi...
Since it's been a year since you download the app, delete the app then re download.
Best to use a utility that will not only remove the app but all the associated files > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
Then redownload:
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

Hello friends.. I have a similar question, in that I would like to purchase the 2TB TC for use as a NAS device, in addition to taking advantage of the Air Port extreme.. Then I could dump my Linksys router.
I was originally looking at a Synology NAS solution, but the TC seems like it can meet my needs.
I have a Synology NAS as well as the Time Capsule. If you look at the 3.2 beta program, the Synology actually attempts to replicate TC functionality in that you can use it with Time Machine on your Mac.
I must say, Airport on the TC is definitely a nice feature!

I'm surprised more people aren't using the TC as a dedicated NAS deviced.. I've searched high and low on forums around the web, and don't seem to see many people trying to use it as I've outlined.
I can't see why this wouldn't fufill my needs, and take the place of a separate NAS solution (like the Synology, or iOmega, Seagate, etc....)
Has anyone used this TC as such?
Yes, you can do this and it's something I've been trying to do, but I'm currently having issues. I have another thread stating I consistently get "connection failed" messages. I'm basically storing my music/photo/video files on the TC and keeping my Mac hard drive fairly lean. In terms of NAS functionality, the TC is very basic. Synology/QNAP and others have a lot more features so don't rule them out.
