Variable numbers of diagrams on frontpanel

Hi,
I have the following problem: I have a system, that is communicating with the computer and is sending about 30 different parameters approximatly every second.
What I want to do, is to build a labview application, where the user can decide, which parameters are shown on the frontpanel (no problem), of which parameters an avverage is calculated (no problem) and where the user can decide, how many diagrams he wants to have, and what should be shown there (big problem)...
Of course, it is possible, to create let´s say 10 diagrams, and just show the ammount of diagrams, that the user wants to have with the diagrams he wants to see... Problem: If the user should decide, that he needs more diagrams, this does not work any more.
Therefore the question: Is there a way to programmatically create new diagrams while the program runs - and fill them with data? Or is there a way, to build - for example - an array of diagrams, where each diagram has its own data??
Regards,
Frank

This question is not uncommon. You can't have an array of graphs, so you won't be able to show or populate a dynamic number of graphs at once. One thing you should ask yourself is how many graphs a user would possibly want to view at once. It's unlikely the user could visually register more than - say - 5 graphs at a time. I would recommend figuring out some maximum number of graphs to show, and then dynamically route a subset of the parameters being sent to the system to these 5 (or however many) graphs. Then, if your user wants to view less than the max, you can hide some of the graphs by setting the Visible property to False.
If you want to know what a really dynamic situation might look like, you could check out this example I did a while ago. But note that it's not so much an approved way of doing things as just a proof of concept. It's probably more difficult than it's worth.

Variable numbers of digital signatures in a form?

I'm trying to build a template form that can be used to propose new projects. I have a dynamic table where the author can add rows to add offices that will be involved in the project. I also have a table at the end that represents a "workflow" that the final proposal will go through so that all the offices involved can approve the document. Right now, when a row is added to the offices table, a corresponding row is added to the workflow table. But I can't place digital signatures in the repeating portion of the workflow table. I understand this is not supported, but does anyone know of another way to achieve the same effect? Basically I need a form that can support a variable number of digital signatures.

Jennah
I'm not sure I fully understand your question. Are you looking to add signatures in an automated fasion in an ad hoc fasion, or did you want to design the forms with signature fields already on the PDF form?
Assuming you are using LiveCycle Designer to create the forms, you can ad signature field(s) to the form when you create the forms. When a user clicks on the signature field, they will be prompted to select a digital certificate to sign the form with. Note that if the end users only have Reader, the form will need to be Reader Extended (to enable the ability to sign a PDF with reader)
There are other third party methods to sign PDF documents such as CIC's SignIt.

Variable numbers of subreports

Post Author: Gerd
CA Forum: General
hey,
Question for CrystalReport XI for Visual Studio 2005
I have a main report, with different subreport typs.
e.g.
Main report
- SubreportA
- SubreportB
Problem:
The subreports can appear in different order and can appear more than one time.
like
e.g. 1
Main report
- SubreportA
- SubreportB
- Subreport A
or e.g. 2
Main report
- SubreportB
- SubreportA
- Subreport A
It is possible with CrystalReport XI to set the subreport "type" at runtime ?
Or how can i solve this problem ! It is possible at runtime or at design time ?
thanks

CA Forum: General
Generally the answer to your question is yes by using the way Guy has described. Without knowing the details it will solely depend on how your data set will be structured and where you put the subreports. For example you may have to repeat the subreports in split detal, summary, group or page footer bands and suppress accordingly upong what data is available at run time in that band.
If the subreport is dependant on main reports data or on the parameter data being there then obviosly the data must be there at the right time to run the subreport. In other words if the subreport is in the page footer and it expects detail band data then you may only get the last record data passed to the report which might not work.
Also if you have a subreport that gets passed a Type field to run it you can create the one subreport and insert it twice into the main report into different bands. Then use variables or fields within the report to run (or suppress) those bands according to the data.
If your subreports are mostly independant of the main reports data then you can basically do what you want as you described.
The key is to use the section expert to insert bands for the subreport and suppress accordlingly and getting the data set right behind the scenes to drive the subreorts in the right way. Without knowing how your subreports are 'dancing' with the main reports data that is all I can tell you.
Everything I see can be done at design time.
Good luck!

Using a Meter control in LV Touch Panel, and using shared variables that are custom controls.

I Just started using LV touch Panel module with an NI TPC-2106.
I have two differenct problems:
1) I was planning on using the "Meter" control quite a bit. I can set up the meter exactly how I like on the host PC, but on the touch Panel computer it seems to ignore my adjustments, mainly the start and end of the scale - i.e. I would like control to run from 0 to 360 with 0 straight up, using the entire circle. However, on the Touch panel computer it always puts 0 at about 7 o'clock and 360 at about 5 o'clock. I have also tried adding markers to no avail.
2) I am communicating with a compact fieldpoint controller. I can creat a shared variable that is a simple double with no problems. However, I have some shared variables that use a custom control for the variable type - bascially a cluster with a couble doubles, a time stamp, and an enumeration. It lets me drag the shared variable into my diagram, but it seems to ignore it when I run it.

Ipshita_C,
- I am using LV 8.6.1f1and LV Touch Panel 8.6.1.
- I have attached a simplified VI that shows how I want to use the meter. Notice that the placement of the endpoitns does not work correctly on the touch panel, and that it ignores the arbitrary markers that I placed.
- I also have included an XY graph control that displays on the TPC with margins around the graph area that I removed from the graph control.
- For the shared variable, it appears to be an issue related to the touch panel, not fieldpoint. I found another thread in this forum that mentioned that clusters containing Enumerations do not work in shared variables on the touch panel. I changed the enumeration to an integer and it now works fine.
In general, there seem to be a disappointing number of limitations in the touch panel implementation. My biggest concern is that I have not found any documentation from NI that lists these limitations. I seem to have to try things out and see what works and what does not work. Can you point me to a comprehensive list of touch panel modules limitations?

No. of days outstanding variable in aging report for SAP 8.8

Hi All,
Would like to check whether anyone knows what are the variable numbers for 'No of days outstanding' column in aging report? I would like to include this field in the detail aging report print out. Thanks.

Dual automatic numbering in 1 page

hello
I need a way to add automatic numbering in a page, I know indesign can add this based on the page number, but I need to add 2 numberings in the same page.
So let's say I want to have a page from 10 to 26, I want to have in page 1 the numbers 10,11, in page 2 the numbers 12,13 and so on.
Is there a way to do this automatically and not by hand? I want to add a great number of pages which make it impossible to be done one by one.
thanks

I want to print invoice booklets.
Traditionally I just make one page and then the printshop make a dual page layout and print them with an offset press. Before the offset deliver the paper it also do the numbering at both pages. That's all analog, so if you don't have the numbering module you have to use another machine to pass the papers again. So the numbering is the only variable on the print.
This is the cheaper method around so far, but I want to find a way to do it with a digital printer because the cost is comparable for short runs.
So I though the best way to do it is to make a big PDF with indesign with the page as master and automatic numbering and just generate as many pages as I need.
But I want to be able to print a composition of 2-3 pages at each A4 page I print, so I can cut down on cost, so the automatic numbering is of no help since I need to have 3 variable numbers on each page of indesign.

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?
I need to generate a report with varying column names (state names) as follows:
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM States ;
I get these column names from the result of another query.
In order to clarify my question, Please consider following table:
CREATE TABLE TIME_PERIODS (
PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50) PRIMARY KEY
CREATE TABLE STATE_INCOME (
     NAME     VARCHAR2 (2),
     PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50)     REFERENCES TIME_PERIODS (PERIOD) ,
     INCOME     NUMBER (12, 2)
I like to generate a report as follows:
AK CA DE FL ...
PERIOD1 1222.23 2423.20 232.33 345.21
PERIOD2
PERIOD3
Total 433242.23 56744.34 8872.21 2324.23 ...
The TIME_PERIODS.Period and State.Name could change dynamically.
So I can't specify the state name in Select query like
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM
What is the best way to generate this report?

Variables - Sap business one

Hi I have a print layout design form designed by someone else. I would like to modify it and have noticed that it uses a variable number for one of the fields. How can i tell what the variable definition is for this variable? thankyou

Judi - a suggestion as I got burnt on this area - be VERY VERY careful when using variables in the Print Layout Designer (PLD). I walked into a customer's office and said the information she wanted could be included as part of the results with PLD by using the variables displayed in the system. A bit embarassed when the results came out funky and certainly not what she was looking for.
I did an extensive amount of research and submitted a ticket to SAP, and here is their reply (verbatim from the ticket):
"The fields in the other report that are showing results 'Text Type Field'
are harcoded or system fields and they only can be used by our
development team...
<u>Variables are generally not supported by us as they can be subject to
change in patches or upgrades. Please check Note 723783...
We do not guarentee that the displayed Variable Numbers are valid
and will print the correct information...</u>
Adding Variables can as well corrupt your Layout in General. Therefore
we do not encourage you to try to add your own Variables..."
By "displayed variable numbers", SAP Support was referring to some numbers I had copied down from the forms themselves and passed on to SAP asking why they were not as documented. But guess what - the variables did NOT print the same info in the PLD as what was displayed on the system! It turned out to be a real mess.
I am especially worried about the statement that variables can change in patches or upgrades and wonder if there will be some work to be done for when any PLD was modified?

Sending VALUES of CF variables thru FlashVars

Hey There!
I am testing a simple application where I am trying to send
back to flash (AS3) some variable values from coldfusion. It works
just fine when I assign the value in CF "by hands" i.e.
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="YES">
<cfset Return = "&Numbers=456&">
<cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace="Yes">
<cfoutput>
#Return #
</cfoutput>
</cfprocessingdirective>
Then flash accepts the value of variable Numbers of 456.
Now I ran into a problem, when I need instead of steady 456
pass the VALUE of CF variable. I was trying the following way:
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="YES">
<cfset x = 123>
<cfset Return = "&Balls=&">
<cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace="Yes">
<cfoutput>
#Return#=#x#
</cfoutput>
</cfprocessingdirective>
In this case I receive no value in flash assigned to Balls
Can anyone please let me know that is the proper way to pass
VALUES of CF variables using flashvars?
Or maybe you know where to find a tutorial showing how that
was done.
Thank you

I don't know what you're trying to do. However, since the
Numbers example works, here are the respective versions that are
similar to it:
<cfset Return = "&Balls=">
<cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace="Yes">
<cfoutput>
#Return##x#&
</cfoutput>
</cfprocessingdirective>
<cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace="Yes">
<cfoutput>
&Balls=#Tostring(x)#&
</cfoutput>
</cfprocessingdirective>

Blocking all numbers that start with +23

Hello,
I have a big problem, because someone from Nigeria is calling me all the time (i dont know where did they get tnis number!!!). I tried to bock their numbers, but whenever I do that, they just change the number and call again. I think I have bloked over 100 numbers, but they keep calling!
Is there any possiblity to block all numbers that starts with +23?
Tnx

Hi,
You will not be able to do this.
If the material number is fully numeric you can only have leading zeros On or OFF, you cannot store a material number with differeing leading zeros.
If this was a new implementation you could have set the "lexicographical" flag on the material master controls and you could then have whatever leading zeros you wanted, but this flag can ONLY be set BEFORE you add your first material and so you no longer have the option.
If you really MUST have this option then define an external number range for alpha characters and use an alpha character on the end of the number, so for 00456 you would have to create 00456a and train your users to ignore the "a". This is a really bad solution but you have no option of having variable numbers of leading zeros.
Sorry

Move used variables/strings

Dear all,
I try to use Dasylab to control and collect data from several equipments at lab (thermostat, stirrer, syringe pump, manostat, thermometer...). Now I have prepared several worksheets (each for single equipment) and it +- works (it is necessary to complete with some functionality but for collecting current lab data it is sufficient). The worksheets works, but only for single equipment, but I need to work with all of them. So I rebuild the worksheets that the each equipment is packed at black boxes (each worksheet one black box ant it works). Then I save all of black boxes and put them to one worksheet. Unfortunately, the worksheet prepared this way doesn’t work because there are problems with global string and variables. When I save the black box, I don't save the string/variables definitions. For instance the expression of one string in original worksheet is calculated automatically this way: "R" + SubStr( "000",1, 3-(${VAR_51}>=1000)-(${VAR_51}>=100)-(${VAR_51}>10)) + StrFmt(${VAR_51},8,0)+${STR_52} to prepare output string "R0120\r". I am able to export and import global string and variables but only as whole package of 999 variables. I don’t know how to move only used ones (I am able to move them at TXT format, but I am not able to read them to Dasilab as variables).
I have two questions:
1 - Is there any possibility to set "calculate expression automatically" for string/variable during running of program (using some action module or something like that)?
2 - Is there any possibility to save only used strings/variables and collected several packages of variables to one (for instance VAR_1-VAR_50 for thermostat and VAR_100-VAR_150 for thermometer)?

I found that if I used the Define Global Variable dialog, and clicked the Save button, it gave me a choice of saving defined variables (those whose settings are not the default) or variable with descriptions.
I saved the file. It gave me a file that included all of the information.
I tried to use the Global Variables and Strings Import dialog, but the file was not ordered correctly.
I opened it in Excel and changed the columns around to match the Help (see picture). Then, I saved it as a TXT file again.
It imported with some errors - notably the additional settings, such as read at start, do not import. The one formula that I created imported correctly.
I think that you can save the used variables from your various worksheets, combine them into one file, change the order of the columns. Since it's a text file, you can change the variable numbers if you need to...
Unfortunately, you cannot import strings this way, as the Help says "DASYLab can only read in strings from VAR formats." Personally, I agree that this is a major limitation!

Sub Class in applet

I have written an applet that does a mathematical operation on numbers then shows a diagram on the clicking of a button.
On the clicking of the button I removed the previous two panels and repainted the GUI with the diagram, created using a sub class/ The class header and constuctor is shown below for the sub class.
In netbeans, using applet viewer this works.
Yet for some reason when the applet code is used in a web page the main applet comes up fine and is operational but when clicking the diagram button nothing happens.
II would appreciate any help going?
Thanks

Transaction Journal Report - Print Layout Design

Hi all
Is it possible to add Journal Entry Project Codes to this Transaction Journal Report (Print Layout Design)?
I tried to add Journal Entry Project Codes to this system PLD but the result still not showing any Project Code.
Kedalene

Hi Kedalene Chong
ou don't need a list of variables to use them. Simply go to View -> System Information so whenever you hover around a field with the cursor, in the left bottom corner of the screen you will see the details of that screen along with the variable number if it is a variable.
So you will see something like:
[Form=139 Item=29 Pane=0 Variable=91]
-> in this case the variable number is 91 - use it in Print Layout Designer.
So you can just use the variable specified in these details. When creating the print layout, just go back to your form, stand on a field with your mouse and you will see what variable to use.
Also Check with the PLD Variables Note No 867048...

DocTotal doesnt include shipping charges on reports and letters

When I run reports like sales analysis, for some reason I only get the invoice total without shipping charges. Obviously in a month that can be a fair amount of revenue, that I cannot show on my reports. Related to this is also that for example on a dunning letter, the amount due and the actual balance field will show the invoice total without shipping charges. It does however show the correct amount (i.e the actual/real customers balance for that invoice) in the subtotal of open invoices on that letter. This is obviously confusing for the customer to get this letter.
Can anyone please help me track down why this might be happening? I'm running B1 2007 A (8.00.177)

I was afraid of that...However, I can deal with that internally, but on the documents like a customer statement, or aging report, or even the dunning, how can I get the "real" invoice total. It does absolutely no good to show the customer a invoice total, that isn't the invoice total. I poked around but since most of the data that are being pulled are variable numbers, I'm lost as to how to accomplish this.
Thank you for answering though, that was much appreciated.
Kerstin: But it is a source of revenue, I make money on my shipping. Yes, there is a cost associated with it, but I really cant wrap my head around how a field titled document total is not the document total. Dummy items would negate the integrated shipping features I'm using, and cause us to offer something like flat rate shipping which in my industry is just not always practical.

ILife won't Print to Epson PictureMate

I just love iPhoto, but I can't get it to print to my Epson PictureMate. The PictureMate prints from memoery cards and will print a nozzle check from the iMac, but it goes through the motions of printing then indicates that it is 'Stopped'. The primter icon in the Dock shows a red exclamation mark!

I too was troubled by this issue, and after the second attempt got this response from Epson which solved the problem.
Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection.
