What is "line mask" of "DIO PORT WRITE.VI"?​? I CANNOT Understand the Help file.

In a example , i see "x*2n" for it. why !

Hey gpibssx,
The line mask is used to mask off the bits you are not interested in or you do not want to change. It is normally applicable when writing to a port.
For example if the existing port value was 0b00001111 and you are writing the value 0b10101010 to a port. If the line mask was 0b00000001 the new value written to the port would be 0b00001110. If the line mask was 0b00001111 the new value would be 0b00001010. If the line mask was the default 0b11111111 the new value of the port would be 0b10101010.
Basically the mask lets you know what values to change. I hope this helps out and let us know if this is still confusing.

  • Why do I get "Error -10008 occurred at DIO Port Write"

    This happens every time that I open my application. I run it and I immediately get this error. I press continue three times, and then it runs perfect, and it runs perfect every subsequential time that I run it. I only have this problem the first time that I run the application, directly after I open Labview. How can I fix this?
    I do not even have any DIO port writes, I have several dio line writes, but no port writes.

    Hello:
    It looks like this error is "The Group is Invalid" error. The DIO Port Write is inside of the Write to Digital Line.vi that I am guessing you are using. Please open LabVIEW and try running the shipping example called "Write 1 pt to Dig Line (E).vi" and see if you get the same error or not. If not, then it is something in your code. Take a look at the example's code and start debugging that way. If you are not using LabVIEW, then follow the same procedure - find an example and see if it works and then work backwords...
    Good Luck!

  • DIO Port Config & DIO Port Write Block Diagram Errors (Call Library Function Node:libra​ry not found or failed to load)

    Hi Guys, need help on this.
    I have this LabVIEW program that used to work on the old computer.
    The old computer crashes most of the time, so I upgraded the computer
    and used its Hard Drive as slave to the new computer.
    I have no idea where are its installers since the guy that made the program 
    is not in my department anymore.
    I downloaded all the drivers needed from NI: NIDAQ9.0, NIVISA,NI488.2, 
    and drivers of some instruments needed in the setup. I'm using LabVIEW8.2.
    Everything's fine until I open the LabVIEW program for our testing.
    Here goes the error:
       DIO Port Config
       DIO Port Write
    Block Diagram Errors
       Call Library Function Node: library not found or failed to load
    Attachments:
    ErrorList.JPG ‏200 KB

    Honestly, I'm a newbie on Labview. I just want this old program to run on the new computer.
    The guys that installed the drivers on the old computer are no longer here in my department.
    And I have no idea where the drivers are. So I just downloaded the drivers needed for my hardware and instruments.
    Here's my hardware: (cards: PCI-DIO-96, PCI-GPIB), (instruments: SCB100,E4407B, HP83623, HP3458, HP8657)
    OS: Windows XP Pro
    By the way, I have unzipped the TraditionalDAQ drivers. First I tried the 7.4.1, but installation error appeared.
    I thought maybe the installer is corrupted, so I downloaded the 7.4.4 and unzipped it.
    But, still same installation error appears. I don't understand, both TraditionalDAQ drivers have same installation error.
    Now I have tried the DAQmx8.7.2 driver, bu still the DIO Port Config and DIO Port Write have errors.

  • When attempting to install add-ons, Firefox generates a message saying it is unable to install add-on because Firefox cannot modify the necessary file. To what file is this referring, and how do I fix this problem?

    When I download an add-on such as Colorful Tabs and start the installation process, I receive a message that Firefox cannot install the add-on because it cannot modify the necessary file. To what file is this referring?

    That is usually caused by Firefox not unpacking the extension.

  • HT201274 I am unable to restore my iPad. The help screen says to select my device but this is not shown "near the top of the iTunes screen" which is what the help file states

    Help file is misleading. To restore, I have connected to my Macbook and stat-rted itunes. The screen per the help file does NOT appear on my Macbook itunes software

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • What causes JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file /common/bc4j.xcfg

    I know that the jbo exception message:
    JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file /common/bc4j.xcfg
    can be caused by several things including the file really not being there. But in my current case, I know it is there and can be found throgh the classpath, because I actually find it using Configuration.buildConfigurationFileNameFromClassPath and
    Configuration.getConfiguration just before calling Configuration.createRootApplicationModule. Is there any way to turn on a diagnostic to find out what is really wrong?
    I would also like to request an enhancement to give meaningful messages in the jbo exception.
    Roger

    This is on jdev 903 with patch running a local application attempting to connect to standalone OC4J 903. I think the error occurs before there is ever any attempt to make the connection to OC4J. Having one big catch-all exception for everything that can go wrong in creating the AM is pretty poor. I know in the past I have done manual editing of bc4j.xcfg and XML sentax errors cause exactly the same exception as not having the file at all. That is why I would at least like a list of all the causes behind the exception so I can go through and check them all.
    Thanks,

    You usually get this error if you try to install an extension that needs to be unpacked to work properly.<br />
    Current Firefox version do not unpack an extension automatically, but rename the xpi file to the extension's GUID.
    An extension that needs to be unpacked should have an unpack flag in its install.rdf file
    <pre><nowiki><em:unpack>true</em:unpack></nowiki></pre>
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Updating_extensions_for_Firefox_4.0#XPI_unpacking
    You can try to set the extensions.alwaysUnpack pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    The extension seems to install, but I haven't tested if it works.

  • Can iTunes write corrected ID3 tags to the main files?

    I'm sure this has been posted somewhere already, but I can't find it, so here goes.
    I have changed several hundred ID3 tags by editing the files in iTunes. Titles, artists, album, etc. The problem is, the main files aren't updating. SO if I change an entire album's ID3 info in iTunes, then delete it from iTunbes, then import it again, it's not updated. Is there a way iTunes can transfer whatever information I have changed within the application to the main files? I tried using the "Convert ID3 Tags" inside of iTunes and it didn't work.

    It does for most fields, but it won't change the song title.
    I still don't understand what you mean by "main files" or why you are deleting and re-importing. Sorry, but without more information, I don't have any suggestions. iTunes writes tags just fine for me but I allow iTunes to organize all my music. My iTunes files are my only music files.

  • What does this error message mean? "Blank Tab Multivariate Test Addon could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file."

    I am running Firefox 6 Beta and have now recieved 2 popups about the Blank Tab Multivariate Test. I finally found info on how to install it. However, when I went to the page suggested and tried to install I got the above error message. I want to know how to solve this problem so I can participate in the test.

    That means that the extension lacks the required <nowiki><em:unpack>true</em:unpack></nowiki> line in the file install.rdf to make sure that the file gets unpacked after installing.<br />
    Firefox 4 and later no longer unpacks an extension automatically, but renames the XPI file to the ID of the extension and copies that file to the extensions folder in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • Editing date in Organizer - but how can i 'hard' write that new date to the actual files?

    Hi, i have a number of files which were created by digitizing about 40 anolog tapes. These tapes have been 'split' into clips(largish) using AV cutty software [it worked v well] and therefore have about 25 avi files per tape.
    I have now imported all of these from folders) into Organizer to tag etc before creating projects in Premiere.
    However, I can amend the dates in Organizer (some of the clips have timestamp on the screen) BUT i want this to be hard-coded back to the original files - is there any way to do this. Otherwise will i have to edit the dates of the clips in Windows Explorer, using something like AttributeMagic 
    Thanks in advance - and hope this helps others at some point too.

    PS I fully understand that Orginzer is purely referential, but is there NO way to allow the data (eg tags/dates to be writtrn back to the source files?)

    i need this fixed a.s.a.p!!!!

    I don't have Parallels; I use Fusion. And in Fusion you have the option to use the installed printer is OS X to print. I have seen printing from Windows 7 to the Mac printer result in errors and there is a chance you are having the same issue.
    If Parallels has the same facility where you can use the Mac's printer then I would suggest that you install a Windows driver for your printer in Parallels and not use the Mac printer. This should stop the conversion error you are getting.
