Watchdog PXI-8184 on Windows to reboot the PXI when the application is frozen

Hi,
I have a Labview application running under Windows XP on a PXI-8184 controller. Now, I want to know if it is feasible to trig some kind of watchdog on this PXI controller in my  application to check if Windows or my application is frozen.
Thanks
Alexandre Boyer

Hey Alexandre,
If you want your system to reboot automatically if it crashes, you can set this up in Windows. Go to My Computer>>Properties>>Advanced Tab>>Startup and Recovery>>Settings and check the "Automatically Restart" box.  This should reboot the system controller whenever the system stops unexpectedly.
I hope this helps,

  • Just upgraded to latest iTunes for Windows.  Rebooted the PC as required.  When I bring up iTunes I get a pop message saying "An unknown error occured (-42110)".  What does that mean?

    How do I fix it?

  • When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem " This has been going on for several days, I've had to go back IE to access web pages

    When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem."

    I had this exact same problem.  I found this fix and it worked for me. 
    Step 1:
    Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll. 
    Step 2:
    Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Hope this helps you.  I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
    Good Luck.

  • Why won't Firefox 4 on Mac OSX 10.6.7 quit when QUIT is selected? The window closes, but the application remains open necessitating a forced-quit. Until recently it worked fine. I've reinstalled Firefox but the problem persists.

    Firefox 4 on Mac OSX 10.6.7 won't quit when QUIT is selected.
    The window closes, but the application remains open necessitating a forced-quit. Until recently it worked fine. I've Downloaded Firefox again and reinstalled but the problem persists.

    Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
    * [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
    -> Profile in use
    * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use]
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Last Window closed - quits the application

    I remember seeing somewhere a little shareware program that quits an application when the last open window in the applicaton is closed. Can anyone direct to a program that will do this for me. Folks moving to Mac from Windows have this difficulty of closing a window and thinking the application has been quit. Thank you.

    Have you searched MacUpdate or VersionTracker. Both of those sites have just about every piece of software on them.
    Leaving an app open doesn't hurt anything. It doesn't use cpu or waste memory unless you have so many apps open that VM and RAM can't handle it. What you want would have to patch itself into each app to determine that the last window was closed and most likely cause more issues than leaving the app open.
    Cmd+Q works a lot better for quitting than clicking the window close button.

  • I am trying to launch Firefox 9.0.1 on Windows 7 but the application window isnt visible even though there is a firefox.exe process running in task manager.

    I am trying to launch Firefox 9.0.1 on Windows 7 but it isnt working. I try to launch it and the application window does not show. When I look at the task manager and then look at the Applications tab, Firefox isnt listed. If I go to the Processes tab, there is a firefox.exe*32 process listed. Each time I double click the Firefox icon, a new firefox.exe process is spawned but there is never a visible instance of the Firefox application.
    There are no errors in the application logs. I end up just having to kill the processes.
    I tried launching in safe mode by holding down the shift button but the same thing happens.
    Any suggestions on what to try? It has never worked since upgrading from version 8. I tried un-installing and re-installing

    I went through everything mentioned in the link you posed and nothing detailed there resolved the problem.
    The Profile folder didnt exist so I created it. Made sure the perms were good and that it was not read only.
    There are no default folders appearing under the profile folder when I start Firefox.
    I have Firefox installed to my E drive.
    Nothing happens. The process appears in the task manager but no application shows up.
    Cant start it in safe mode, cant run the profile manager.

    Hi Ghanshyam,
    Did you want to deploy the product key in unattend file? please try to move the product key node in the unattend file, please note backup this .xml file before editing.
    If there are not bulk servers to activate, I recommend you can use "slui" to manually enter product key after install.
    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

  • Premiere Pro cc won't launch. When I try, the application window flashes, then the application exits without an error message.

    I downloaded trial versions of Photoshop and Premiere Pro on my brand new MacBook Pro 15" retina 2.8GHz Intel Core i7. OS X 10.9.5
    Photoshop works perfectly. When I try to open Premiere, the application icon on the dock flashes and then disappears without an error message. I have tried (several times) to sign out and in again to Creative Cloud. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere Pro. The same thing continues to happen.
    Any suggestions? I'm extremely frustrated as my old version of Final Cut doesn't work on this OS, and I'm keen to try out Premiere before I commit to buying (renting) it.
    Thanks, Team.

    Somekind of hardware incompatibility probably. Tech support will work through install/launch failures probelms with you for no charge if you call/chat them.
    Having CS5 installed or uninstalled shoudl have nothing to do with it, both apps can run live on the same system simultaneously.

  • I've downloaded CS 5.5 on a new Lenovo with Windows 8.1.  The application area is too small to read.  Why?

    I want to know why the Adobe Audition CS 5.5 loads on my new Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with Windows 8, but the application window fonts are too small to read.

    The device is probably equipped with a High DPI display.  The most recent releases of Audition CC (7.1 and above) support High DPI displays, but older editions do not.  You can reduce your resolution or adjust how fonts and text are scaled at your current resolution in the Windows Display Settings control panel to help improve this, but the need for multi-resolution assets and text support did not exist when Audition CS5.5 was released.

  • Not closing  the JDialog causes the application to freeze???

    Dear all,
    I am developing an application that contains dialogs.
    if a user does not close the dialog and opens one of the
    other window applications, e.g. Outlook Express, then clicks on
    the application again by clicking on
    the reduced window/icon at the bottom of the screen,
    then the dialog is not displayed anymore (since it is at the back of
    the main application window) and the application is frozen!?
    My code looks something like the following:
    JDialog totalCostDialog = new JDialog();
    totalCostDialog.setModal(true);
    totalCostDialog.getContentPane().add(new GrpTotalsDialog());          
    totalCostDialog.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
    public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {                    
         totalCostDialog.dispose();
    totalCostDialog.setLocation(700, 300);                         
    totalCostDialog.pack();
    totalCostDialog.setResizable(false);     
    totalCostDialog.toFront();
    totalCostDialog.setVisible(true);          
    I thought the to.Front() piece of code would solve the problem,
    but apparently it does not?
    Does anyone know the solution to this problem?
    Kanita

    Rather use the JDialog constructor that passes in a JDialog or a JFrame. That way your new JDialog will be connected to a base in your application.

  • The application has unexpectedly quit???

    Hello,
    I have been using iMovie, and iDVD for a few years now. Nothing fancy, just home videos, but I really enjoy it, and I feel very good when a project is done and I can share it with my family.
    My most recent project is a group of iMovies based on the first 4 years of my middle daughter's life. I title each movie by year (1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993). Each movie has titles, transitions, soundtrack music, and "chapters" added, all standard iMovie stuff.
    My problem is that this project will not work. The project starts out fine, just like always, with the little sideways barber pole spinning away, but when I come back several hours later to check on it, there is a window stating that the "application has unexpectedly quit" and asking me if I want to submit a report to apple. This has not happened before.
    The first time it happened, I did all the things I have learned to do when iMovie tries to act up or give me trouble, specifically: I deleted the iDVDplist, I "repaired permissions", and I even ran "Cacheout X" and restarted my computer. But after all that, when I tried the project again, it "unexpectedly quit" again.
    I don't know what to do now? I have read that many people have had trouble with iDVD chapters being placed at transitions. I thought this must be a problem with the new iDVD5, because I have always placed chapters at transitions (and at the very beginning of a project) and I have never had a problem before.
    Since I don't know what else to do, I am going to go back and move the chapters around avoiding the beginning, and any transitions, and see if that makes a difference. Other than that, can anyone suggest anything else I could try?
    Would upgrading to iLIFE '05 help? I actually own it. I have had the box sitting on my desk for months, but I have been reluctant to load it because of many of the problems that I have read about in these forums. In my case, iDVD4 has been working very reliably for me, and my thought was "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" Well, now it seems to be broken, so, should I try to fix it?
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
    Lincoln

    Thank you David,
    I appreciate your advise. As you suggested, I went back and moved all the chapters from each of the iMovies. I have never NOT placed a chapter at the very beginning of a project, and it seems strange for the "2nd" chapter to be listed as chapter #1 (since the first chapter "Beginning" is implied), but--- it worked!
    It is hard to say exactly what worked, because I also created an entirely new project. It was an exact duplicate of the original project in every way (except for the new chapter locations), but I simply couldn't figure out how to "update" the original project after I made the changes, and I thought that making a new project would be the easiest thing.
    So it is probably the chapter changes that fixed it, but perhaps there was some wierd problem with the first project. The other thing I was wondering about was that this project was less than 2 hours long, but not by much. When I looked at the "Status" section, I had used 3.8 of the available 4.0GB for video.
    But the bottom-line is that I am very happy that the project is complete, and I continue to be amazed at the high quality movies and DVD's I am able to create with the iLIFE programs.
    Now that this crisis is over, what is your opinion of iLIFE '05? Should I take the plunge and load it up, or keep working with programs that I am happy with? I must admit that I would love to have access to the new "THEMES" in iDVD, but as you can plainly see, I am simply not computer saavy enough to handle any of the new problems that I have read so much about in the iMovieHD, and iDVD5 discussion groups.
    Thanks again,
    Lincoln

  • " the application iPhoto can't be opened"

    mac book pro 15inch mid2010 OS X yosemite version 10.10.2 recently did digital camera RAW compatibility update version 6.03 then backed up all iPhoto libraries to WD passport (external hard drive ). First time logging back on since update and back-up and when trying to open iPhoto window pops up " the application iPhoto can't be opened"
    any suggestions?

    That's it? Nothing else? No buttons to click?
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
