Wait until execution ends
Hello,
I am using TestStand API in CVI to run a test sequence. I want the button start to be dimmed during the execution, so I wrote these lines:
SetCtrlAttribute(panel, PANEL_COMMANDBUTTON, ATTR_DIMMED, TRUE);
TS_NewEngine (NULL, &lEngine));
TS_EngineGetProperty (lEngine, &errorInfo, TS_EngineGlobals, CAVT_OBJHANDLE, &stationGlobalsHandle));
TS_EngineGetSeqFileEx (lEngine, &errorInfo, "SequenceFile1.seq",TS_GetSeqFile_OperatorInterfaceFlags, TS_ConflictHandler_UseGlobalType,&lCurrentSequenceFile ));
TS_SeqFileGetFileGlobalsDefaultValues (lCurrentSequenceFile,&errorInfo, &fileGlobalsHandle);
TSerrChk( TS_EngineNewExecution (lEngine, &errorInfo, lCurrentSequenceFile,"MainSequence", modelSeqFile, VFALSE,TS_ExecTypeMask_Normal, CA_DEFAULT_VAL, CA_DEFAULT_VAL, CA_DEFAULT_VAL, &lCurrentExecution));
TS_ExecutionWaitForEndEx(lCurrentExecution,&errorInfo, INFINITE,TRUE,CA_DEFAULT_VAL,CA_DEFAULT_VAL,&end);
SetCtrlAttribute(panel, PANEL_COMMANDBUTTON, ATTR_DIMMED, FALSE);
But it's not working, the sequence is not even executed and the button remains dimmed.
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.
Thank you
There are several flaws in your approach:
You are not using Manager Controls
You are using WaitForEndEx which is documented as This method is not meant to be used by a user interface or sequence editor, as it does not process UIMessages. Instead, use this method from a step to synchronize with another execution. Remove this from your UI code!
The default visible TestStand button provides properties. Use them to do what you want.
thanks,

I am trying to record 3 pieces of data, all (software) timing in ms (in U8 integers). I managed to finally get each data in the right column but now it doesn't record anything in the table and it doesn't update the numeric indicators during the experiment like it should. I can't figure for the life of me what I did wrong. I know at least the trial part of the program works, but so far the data recording part is giving me a headache.
Thanks

BETACRT.vi 241 KBWhy it is not reporting the data is easy; fixing the program may not be. LabVIEW uses a dataflow paradigm. This means that no part of the program executes until all of its data inputs are availble. In your case the table and the array functions driving it are fed by outputs from the outer while loop. Thus no data gets to the table until the while loop has finished executing (which is at the end of your experiment). One possible approach would be to store the data in a shift register and move the table inside the loop.
Many experienced LV programmers try to avoid or minimize the use of sequence structures and local variables to read and write to/from front panel objects. We use a state machine which is a while loop with a case structure. Queues can be u
sed to pass data between the user interface and the data acquistion loops. This subject is too involved to be handled in a brief posting, but if you search the archives and examples you can learn more.
Also, be aware that software timing can be problematic if you are using a desktop operating system. If the OS decides to check the net for software updates or something you could have large discrepancies in your timing. These might be rare, but there is no reliable way of detecting them. I have built several systems similar to what you seem to be trying to do and have never been successful with software timing. -
Wait for the execution end of a Thread
Hi every body,
How to make a program waiting the execution end of a thread,
the instruction join did not work fine.
Computation c = new Computation();
Thread t = new Thread(c);
t.start();
t.join(); // here my thread dead
System.out.println("done");
RegardsDid you try it without t.join?And t did its work fine in that case, but putting the join into the main thread caused t to not do anything?
I can't say what's happening without more code, but two possibilities pop to mind:
1) You changed something else, and join has nothing to do with it.
2) You're syncing on t in a way that interferes with (or gets interference from) join (which also syncs on t). -
Waiting for the end of the process
I'm executing a command using the Runtime class and I have to wait until the end of the command to get the results. But, I don't want to sleep the thread for some undeterminated time. I'd like it just to wait until the command ends.
See in this code:
try
String result="";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sh"); //open a new shell
InputStream is = p.getInputStream();
OutputStream os = p.getOutputStream();
os.write("ifconfig -a | grep PROMISC -c\n".getBytes());
os.flush();
try {
Thread.currentThread().sleep(1000);
/*command should take some time to execute so wait for 10 secs .... I don't like this .... I would prefer waiting for the end the command ifconfig*/
catch (InterruptedException eIE) { }
while (is.available() > 0)
result = result + ( (char) is.read());
System.out.println(result);
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);AFAIK you can only detect if the shell process has finished, as sub-processes of the shell are not visible to your Java program (without resorting to OS-specific syscalls).
You can write "exit" (or whatever terminates your shell) in the output stream as the last command - this will quit the shell as soon as all commands are finished, and that will be visible to your prog. Note that you should not run ANY of the shell commands in background then, as this could cause the shell to exit before the commands are finished (and, depending on the system, even signal the subprocesses). -
When receiving an call waiting can't push the hold and answer button.Because: it will put on hold the first caller, answer to the second, but you can't hear the second until you end the first call !!! Anyone has the same problem ? Did anyone know why ?

Wait until command execution effects actually take place
Hello everybody. I am new to Azure and I have been working with power shell for a short time.
During my work, I have noticed that many operations like Update-AzureVM or Stop-AzureVM return before the requested changes have finished being applied. Furthermore, there are other more complicated issues, such that it takes some time for locks on blobs
of data disks times to become unlocked. All these kinds of I-have-not-actually-finished-doing-the-work situations often break my scripts unless I manually implement sleep-and-check code blocks.
My question is, is there any more or less general way to wait until resources (VMs, disks, etc.) are ready to continue? Maybe a supporting library to perform this waits?
Thank you in advanceThe Azure forums are over here.

I just need to know my best options to control the amount I pay in overages since I messed up. Been with Verizon for at least 15 years and I haven't really had this come up before. Not sure how I messed up this bad this time
Personally, I would wait until ~5-7 days before the end of your billing cycle to make the adjustment RETROACTIVE to the beginning of your current billing cycle. That way you can add what you need with a bit extra for the last 5 days. Of course you would want to make another adjustment on the last day of your billing cycle to drop your data allowance back to normal, only have that adjustment made effective on the 1st day of your NEXT billing cycle. You don't want to have to pay for the extra data NEXT month.

File Adapter -- Picking has to wait untill it get fully loaded/write.
Hi All,
I need to pick the files from a folder and I need to pick the files only which has been written completely.
I should not pick the file in the middle while writing, I need to wait untill it finishes the writing completely.
Is there any setting I can put in Sender File adapter to do this?
Thanks
SeemaNithya,
>> Try to increase the processing time in the sender communication channel, so that it allows you to completely load the file. Check the time which is needed to upload the file to the directory manually and correspondingly change the processing time.
We do not know exactly at what time the file will be placed in the folder. It may be at any time. So I cannot put the processing time accurately.
Aamir,
>> If you are picking from FTP,MSecs wont work there.the sender program which writes the file must write the file in some temporary format like .dat etc and once the file is complete it should change the filename to .txt,configure the sender file adapter to pick only *.txt files.
This is a good idea. But I don't think I can ask them to change at the other end as it is working previously with other middleware.
Guys,
Can you please advice which is the best thing we can do at this point of time.?
Thanks

How can I wait until a Swing.Timer has finished?
I have a Swing.Timer runing which displays some animated text (more precisely it fades out a text with a delay of 50 until all characters are erased.
Afterwards a time consuming operation shall begin. How can I achieve that this operation waits to start until the text has been faded out? The time to fade out the text depends on the length of the text, of course.
So, how can I make the operation waiting until the Timer has finished its work?
Thanks,

}The timer here continues until a condition is satisfied (here it's where the Stringbuffer that holds the text that is sent to the JLabel is empty). So all you have to do is place any code that needs to happen when the Timer ends in the else block. It's so simple as to be trivial. -
Return Code value using 'starting new task' and 'wait until'
I'm having a minor issue with some return code values in my ABAP.
This is what part of it used to look like before I modified it:
With Code in version 1, the sy-subrc was not always zero, sometimes it would be 4.
That was fine, and my abap would do something based on the non-zero RC.
had a need to implement an RFC timeout, the only way I could see to do it was to use 'starting new task' etc as seen in Version 2.
However, with my changes, sy-subrc is always zero.
The ABAP runs fine but I know that sy-subrc should sometimes be 4, even when it returns within the allotted 60 seconds.
Maybe I've coded it incorrectly.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

System Exec use all resources system if "wait until completion" is true !
Hello,
I use the function "System Exe" since a long time to launch various executables since Labview.
The " waint until completion " boolean is true, because I have to wait the end of the external executable to continue.
Big problem: the function " System Exec " use all resources system, by waiting for the end of the external program.
Is it a bug of this function ?
In my example, "System Exec" launches only the notepad (LV 8.2 on XP)
Thank you for your suggestions.

Bug system exec.vi 17 KBThanks to both for your speed.
In fact I had simplified my vi to target the problem.
I use System Exec to launch another executable, made possibly with labview, but with passage of parameter. (Ex: - " / string:init ").
In the literature Labview it was made with the method cmd / x / c start by putting twice the path of the executable.
In this method a waiting time in the recent system exec function was effectively missing.
But effectively, today, it is enough: "c:\myexe.exe" - " / string.init " to launch and to pass a parameter.
You have both reason and I thank you sincérement.
Very cordially.
Sorry for my English....

Java.lang.Process input stream waiting until process is complete to print
I have tried to simplify this problem as much as possible. Basically, I have a java.lang.Process which executes a simple C program.
test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
printf("foo\n");
sleep(2);
printf("bar\n");
...The process has an input stream and error stream handler each on a separate thread. I have tried both buffered and unbuffered (BufferedReader, BufferedInputStream, InputStreamReader...) stream handlers. Both produce the same problem of waiting until the process has exited to receive anything from the process's streams.
The only time this does not happen is when I call fflush(stdout); after each printf(). This can't be a solution because the real application calls a massive C application which would require thousands of fflush()'s to be added. What is causing this to happen? This doesn't happen when the C program is executed from the shell. Is there a way the InputStream can be forced to extract from the stream?hi.....
I have closed the output stream of the process as you told me to do...
The hitch is that, if my program contains only printf() statements,it works fine
as soon as scanf() statement is encountered within the C code,it is totally neglected,and the output comes as if no scanf() statement existed in the C code.
Consequently the thread doesnt wait for input which was bound for scanf() from the thread
the code...

How to wait until an Entourage Schedule item completed
I am trying to script the "Send & Receive All" operation in Entourage, and I have found that I can trigger the process off (from within my script) by:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
execute schedule "Send & Receive All"
end tell
However, the script continues to process while the scheduled actions take place.
Is there any way to wait until the schedule actions complete and then process the rest of the script?
Thanks
SusanGlad to help, Susan
I found out about "connection in progress" by looking at the properties of "application" in the Entourage dictionary:
connection in progress boolean [r/o] -- Are there any network connections in progress?
(In fact I searched through the dictionary for the phrase "connect".) The property is a boolean (true/false), and my script uses a "repeat while" loop to test for that boolean condition.
As well as properties, the Entourage application object also has elements. These include "POP account", "IMAP account", "Exchange account" and "Hotmail account". These can be referred to "by numeric index, test". So if you pass a list of accounts to the "connect" command, Entourage will connect and download mail from those accounts. For example, if you have two POP accounts, this works:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to connect to {POP account 1, POP account 2}
AppleScript lists are contained in curly braces.
But it's simpler (and less prone to error) to do this:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to connect to every POP account
Alternatively, the "test" lets you refer to individual accounts by name - a list isn't essential, despite what the dictionary says:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to connect to POP account "My Account"
There's many ways of skinning a cat.
To answer your more general question, though, there is no one "user guide" for AppleScript. You can learn the about the basics of the language from the AppleScript Language Guide. But that will tell you nothing about how to script particular applications. This is because every developer, if they do implement AppleScript in their application (and lots don't), implements it in different ways.
So as well as learning AS, for each application that you want to script you have to learn a slightly different set of commands. There's an awful lot of trial and error involved, but one way to learn is to look at scripts that others have written. There are good resources at Apple's own AppleScript page and at AppleScript Central among others. For specifically scripting Entourage, try Paul Berkowitz's scripts.
Different people will also recommend different books. My recommendation is AppleScript: The Definitive Guide by Matt Neuberg, but again it's not application-specific.
Hope this helps, at least to give you some pointers.
