Want to control Lab equipment but need direction

I am looking to use serial communication with a few lab instruments on my Reactor system.
IKA Eurostar 100C digital overhead stirrer. This unit uses NAMUR commands I am looking to just have a simple slider control speed along with an on off button. I would like to display RPM and Torque information on a Graph over time..
HUBER UNISTAT405 This is a temp control unit I would like to Read and control the jacket temperature of my reactor on the same graph. This also uses NAMUR commands..
If I can get something up and running I would add PH functionality, Dosing pump system, and a simple readout for vacuum.
Any assistance would be appreciated thank you!!
I am new to the programming world and NI, so this looks like a foreign language to me..
Thanks everyone!!

AKA,
I am just looking to do a simple reliable connection with about 4 to 5 lab devices so I can automate my system.. If there is a simpler solution then I would be very happy doing that... Most instruments have RS-232 or USB...
I am really looking to do something plug in play this way the lab techs can use the system with ease..
can you send me an example of the IKA Eurostar that you configured?
If they have RS232 then its best. What next you can do is to read the serial comm for that specific devices. You see different devices have different protocol for serial comm. Once you go through it then your life done. Its a simple job for you(Once you have your hand over LV you will realize). If some devices have USB then you may need USB to serial converter which will convert the USB data to serial becasue you are going to use VISA(LV) for all the communication and USB will be used as virtual COM port.
Let me know if you have any question
Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.
I need my difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy my success.

In Hongkong. I want to buy new iMac, But need to sell old one first. Where is good for sell??

Please help me.
Please give me a suggestion.
I want to buy new iMac, but need to sell old one.
About following the info.
How much can sell and where is good for sell?
Processor 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7
Total Number of Cores: 4
Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
1TB harddisk
Warranty to 02/Aug/2013
Thank you for your help.

When you sell your iMac, please remember that if you bought Mountain Lion upgrade at the app store, the license is not transferable and you need to erase the drive and reinstall the original system (which was most likely Snow Leopard?). If you don't do that, the buyer can never reinstall Mountain Lion because the license is tied to your Apple ID forever.

I want to control two relay, but Labview says I have something wrong with my VI

From the picture, I have 2 relays to control, they are both toggle on/off type, I want to control them at the same time, but fail to do it.
I already set digital>multiple channels>single sample> 1D boolean(1 line per channel) and before I run, i pick channel 0 and 1 in the front pannel
When I run, the program doesnt give error, however, I use voltmeter to test the voltage at port 0 and port 1, they are 5V and steady....which doesnt correspond to the VI i write
After I hit stop, Labivew says,
pecified read or write operation failed, because the number of lines in the data for a channel does not match the number of lines in the channel.
If you are using the Digital Waveform datatype, make sure the number of lines in the digital waveform matches the number of lines in the channel. If you are using boolean data, make sure the array dimension for lines in the data matches the number of lines in the channel.
Number of Lines in Channel: 8
Number of Lines in Data&colon; 1
Task Name: _unnamedTask<4>
What's wrong with my VI? thank you
Solved!

thank you here are the VI
I already picked channel 0 and 1, when i hit run, no error, but volmeter show steady 5V at channel 0...
WHen I hit stop, labview give me similar errors:
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: 1
Number of Channels in Data&colon; 2

I am using USB 6008

I want to setup multiple numbers but need a way to...

I want to setup multiple numbers but I need a way to identify which number was called when it comes in. I have a SkypeIn account with an online number that I'm using. I'm planning on setting up a 2nd online number so I can track calls from brochures but I need to make sure theres a way to identify that a call is coming from skypephone#2
I need to get this figured out urgently so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Dear,
your question sound powerful.
I am curious to know also. I am having the same problem right now. I can not even identify which skype number is being called so that we can know the language we use for the customers. Believe me, if the setting does not work, then is the effort getting skype number in vain and partially useless. Please can some one help? Question: How to set up 2 different skype numbers for us to know which of the numbers a customer called.
Thank you in advance!

Old computer crashed - have iPhone 4, want to update to iOS5, but need help.

I'm hoping someone can help me. My old computer crashed, and had to get a new one. I lost my iTunes, and didn't have a back-up. The only place I have the data is on the phone itself. I had to re-install iTunes on my new computer, and I want to update to iOS5, but I'm worried I'll lose everything on my iPhone, as I don't have a back-up. How do I take the data (pictures, contacts, email, etc.) from my phone and put it on my computer, so I can update to iOS5, and have a back-up in case I lose it? I already transferred the purchases, so I have all of my apps on my new iTunes, but I don't want to lose any other data. I have Windows XP and an iPhone 4.
Thanks for any help or advice - I appreciate it!

hey,
I am an undergraduate student in my junior year. I am working in a research group at columbia universtiy for about 4 months.What theve asked me to do is that they have alot of lab instruments that they use..They want me to control them using gpib so that they can use them from labview and automate the testing process they use to test a silicon plasma waveguide they make..i have never used labview before and frankly quite lost..i need help and fast..if someone could point where i should start learning labview for the requirements i have it would be nice.. i downloaded the drivers for the machine but couldnt get them to run they are 3rd party drivers...how would i install them as well...help is greatly appreciated. i am uploading the drivers for one of the machines i working on..

In fact I would go one step before the talking to the instrument through LabVIEW and that would be trying to talk to it through National Instruments' Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) which you will have to install to have access to the LabVIEW hardware drivers to talk to the GPIB adapter. If you can talk to an instrument through MAX then you will have confirmed correct cabling, addressing, etc., which is nice to know before trying to make software you have written work.

Make sure your computer is running smoothly on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8
Create a Backup Before Upgrading...
Then check your Mac is compatible with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.x
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
With Regard to ML... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

Want to upgrade to Infinity but need master socket...

Our master socket is under the stairs, which will mean that it will soon be at the back of a cupboard so we need it moved so that it is in the living room where our router is. We have had problems for several months now with our Hub 3 constantly dropping the internet connection with BT and am hoping that once socket is moved, upgrading will be a worthwhile option. We have been all round the website and can't find out if/how we can get somebody out to do this.

Hi Katzz,
Thanks for posting. If you want to move the master socket it's called an internal shift which carries a charge of £130. You might want to consider powerline adaptors as an alternative. Let me know what you think.
Cheers

Want to upgrade to SL, but need IMOVIE 06

Hi all...Okay... I am using OS X (10.4.11), I know I need to upgrade and want to upgrade to Snow Leopar. Here's my problem..I am transferring 8mm films to my digital camcorder,then importing to IMOVIE08, then to IDVD to burn onto a dvd. The quality of the 8mm films are very poor because of the age of the films. I want to be creative when editing these 8mm home movies and IMOVIE 09 will allow me to do that by adding a theme. It will also reduce the unsteadiness which is throughout the films. After reading the threads it seems I would be better off installing IMOVIE 06 because of the quality it will produce when burned onto a dvd. So...if I upgrade to Snow Leopar, which will give me IMOVIE 09, can I also install IMOVIE 06? Is it still available to purchase? Will having IMOVIE 06,08 and 09 screw up my computer? Any comments will be helpful..thanks

I want to sell my computer but need to wipe it clean first need help...

I have struggled for two days already and need help with this. I want to wipe my computer clean and give it to the person with the original Snow Leopard that is on the install disks so they will have a fresh start with it. I tried restarting from the install disk but it gave me the message to restart from a time machine restore, whatever that is, I have a separate external drive I've used for time machine but it does not show up in preferences when I choose 'startup disk'... How on earth am I going to get to disk utility so I can erase my original hard drive, and then I can install from the install disks?

Gracias Sir Kappy, These instructions didn't include Yosemite, but I followed the closest and used Mavericks instructions and the command-R was the key, which I suppose means 'restore?' Nothing is explained as we should all be able to read the programmers minds by now...
Thanks for the help and problem resolved.

Want OD authentication for logins, but need home folders stored locally

Real quick...
How does one configure Open Directory to allow for users to login to their computers using a network/LDAP authentication, but have their home folders stored locally on their computers. I know how to do this when bound to AD, but can't figure it out using OS X's OD.
Would I set it up the server role to "Standalone Server"? Do the computers need to be bound to AD in order to create "mobile accounts? I don't want them to be able to move from computer to compouter, so I don't need synchronization, just to enforce password policies
Thanks!

Hi
@ Templeton
You may find this useful as this is what I have done before in the past. It’s worked for me. There may be other methods that can be used?
Create an admin account on the client computer and then create an account in the LDAP node in WGM with same name and password. If the account already exists on the client computer then all you need do is the latter. Don’t create a Home Folder as this will be created automatically later on. Launch Directory Access and bind to the server.
It seems to work better if the Server is running DHCP Services although it works OK using static. I have seen authentication problems where an AD Server is providing DHCP Services so bear that in mind – in theory it should work – as ever it depends on how well DNS Services are configured.
As soon as you bind the edu.mit.Kerberos file is created in /Library/Preferences. AS_REQ and ISSUE has done its business and as far as the server is concerned the client is intially authenticated. It will request further pre-authentication later on. You should see this feedback if you consult the kdc.log. If the client connects to the server to access a server based service using the normal methods he/she will receive the Kerberos login window prompt. The user name and Realm will already be filled in. Supply the password and you should then be presented with a list of shares you can access including the home folder. If you select the home folder it will mount on the local desktop and be automatically populated with the usual folders. Of course you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to. That’s it the client has its day ticket for the day and can use the local home folder as normal.
@ Mike
This can be a tricky thing to administer and keep track of, especially if local client account names and passwords don’t match what is on the Server. For 300 Users or more its a lot of work. I had a similar experience myself and as usual cursed myself for not anticipating this need when the server was first deployed. Perhaps Apple may build something into Leopard that can facilitate this need?

Is there a cd drive that can be externally connected with my macbook pro unibody version approx. 2007? My cd drive is broke and want to upgrade to lion but need to update to snow leopard first.

Is there an external cd drive that can be connected to my macbook pro, unibody, approx 2007. My cd drive is broken and I want to install snow leopard which only comes on a cd.

Yes Any exrernal DVD drive that connecs by USP port will work. It does not have to be sold by or have the Apple name on it to work. I use an Asus, got it from newegg.com. $30US.

Want to take up infinity but need advice

Hi,
I have very recently returned to BT and am aware that the FTTC in my area is due to be completed by end of June.
My present service is just 10gb as a stater for free 3 months.
What's my best option regarding taking up the infinity service when it's rolled out?
I seem to recall something about having "unlimited" or 40gb giving automatic infinity option or am I mistaken?
Thanks for any comments.
Stuart.

They are several options which are listed here http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=25633
They do have an offer with 10Gb limit at the moment but normally there are two products
BT Infinity Option 1 40 Mb/sec down 2 Mb/sec up download download limit of 40Gb each month
BT Infinity Option 2 40 Mb/sec down 10 Mb/sec up unlimited download.
Prcing is complex as there are so many package deals but which one suits you depends on how you use the internet. Minmum contract is 18 months. By the way BT apply traffic management to torrents etc.
