What is the best way to Query for a PXI Chassis in TestStand

Hi All,
I have some benches that have a PXI Chassis and others without.
I would like to Query for the Chassis and if it isn't there I will use another method of testing.
Is there a way to query for the chassis and if there is how?
Thanks

Go to Solution.

Hi,
You could use the VISA Find Resource function. If you get back PXI[bus]::device[::function][::INSTR] or PXI[interface]::[bus-]device[.function][::INSTR] then you have a PXI chassis

What is the best way to query for the roles of a 2013 Lync server?

I am new to Lync.
I am not able to find, but if anyone already asked and got answers in this forum, or documentation I will be much appreciate.
I would like to programmatically ( powershell wmi most likely)
Get-WmiObject –query ‘select * from win32_product’ | where {$_.name –ilike “*Lync*”}
Typically returns a lot of installed components, is there a way to tell whether a lync ( 2013) installation and deployment is either a Front/Back, or Edge or Mediation?
Thanks

thanks. Although I was expecting (hoping) to be able to query for roles like : Front/Back, Edge , Mediation, Director and etc.

What if, I use get-counter instead?
E.g. if I am able to get something returned for
\LS:A/V Edge - UDP Counters(_Total)\A/V Edge - Packets Dropped/sec , then I know it has Edge role
\LS:MediationServer then it has Mediation role
But then I really cannot tell for sure for FF or just Standard Editor Server.
It is the list of server roles described in here that I am interested in. I understand Lync is very flexible in terms of deployment roles.

Hi,
Do as much as possible exercises based on your course material(which will be more than enough).
If you know (some) Java and have understand the basics of OOP then this is enough for the exam.
And do not forget:
it is a multiple-choice test meaning that you see the possible answers.
Either a single answer is correct (then you will have radio-buttons) or several answers are correct
(then you will have checkboxes; in this case almost all questions will have more than one correct answer).
You can refer to the topics for the certification

<b>
you try www.sapdoamin.com
They provide Certification simulation questions which are veryuseful and a must try site.</b>
Yes more questions comes on OOPS so get your OOPS concepts very clear.
You don't need to do extensive coding in OOPS.
Just get the concepts clear and i am sure the certification will be a cake walkthrough.
All the best and good luck with your ABAP Accreditation.

a Tile has an attribute called Color and, say,
an x- and y-point. Program some appropriate methods.
Done.
Thanks for trying, but Nanook already gave the correct answer in reply 1.Is it possible to restrict these? to like a 8 x 3 grid ?
or should i use an if statement?

What is the best way to export for use on internet?

It depends. Is this for a personal web site or for a site like YouTube, Vimeo or Facebook?
For YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook, use Publish & Share/Computer/AVCHD using one of the YouTube presets.

What's the best way to export for print?

I usually upload images to my local photoprinting shop. What's the best way to do that with Lightroom? Since lightroom does the final sharpening in the print module, how do I get that into the exported file since there is no export function in the print module? Also, how do I get the proper dpi and sizing info into the photo for the print shop? Thanks.

There is no good way to prepare images for printing from a file from a commercial printer by using Lightroom alone. You need to do an export of the image without any resizing or color space conversion, and then use some other program of your choice to 'finish' the file.
It's just plain missing functionality... Lightroom assumes that you will be printing photos yourself and it is missing a whole lot of stuff in order to support external printing, including:
a) Resize to exact pixel dimensions. Many labs require an exact pixel count for a given print size, so for example for an 8x10 they need a 2400 x 3000 pixel image. Can't be done in Lightroom.
b) Trim adjustment. If you are doing full bleed photos (no margin), you might need to provide about 0.05 inch of 'trim space' to compensate for image loss during printing. Can't be done in Lightroom.
c) Exporting to a specific printer profile. Can't be done.
d) Adding margins, text, etc. Many times my clients want a 1/4 inch margin in their photos to facilitate framing, or I put a dim watermark type text in the bottom corner. Can't be done.
My solution. Do most processing in Lightroom, do an export, and then do a second export via qImage on a PC. It does all of the above plus much more. It's just a matter of using the right tool for the job, and LIghtroom has no facilities at all for printing to a file.
I have been asking for "Print to File" ever since I was under NDA during the betas.

What is the best way to share for large projection?

I would like embed my movie as part of the Powerpoint to be shown on a Windows machine (my only option). What is the best way to share it so that it doesn't look grainy or pixelated?

Fool proof? Does Mircosoft make Powerpoint?
LOL... but seriously
You could export it out to a Windows Media file.

What is the best way to test for collisions between objects?

I am in the process of developing my first game, my first decent game that is. I understand how to develop the background and tileset for the game, but have yet to figure out an effective way of testing for collisions. As in you try to move the character into a wall, or another object on the level.
If I divide the level into tiles, it won't be to hard, but I am thinking I want to have the hero be able to move all over the place, not just from square to square.
Any suggestions or ideas will be greatly appreciated

If I divide the level into tiles, it won't be to hard,
but I am thinking I want to have the hero be able to
move all over the place, not just from square to
square.Err...
So if the hero is not on a square, the hero is not on a tile and consequently is not on a visible aspect of the game world?
I suspect that you wanted the hero to be able to move in any direction, not just the standard cardinal directions.
If you're using tiles to represent the game world, then the solution is simple - check to see if there's anything "solid" already on the target tile. If there is, abort the move and report it as a collision. If there isn't, permit the move.
It's only when you have a tile-less world that you actually have to determine if the leading edge of your hero crosses the boundary of an item (or border) that he shouldn't be allowed to cross. Doing so is complicated enough that I would simply suggest that you search the forum for third party collision detection packages that you can borrow.

What is the best method to query for older GPIB equipment with ID? and newer with *IDN?

Good day,
I am writing a test executive where it needs to scan the bus for support of older (HP/Agilent 856x series) and newer (Agilent 440x and 444x series) spectrum analyzers. *NOTE* I originally posted this question in my NI Community blog. I apologize for redundancy but someone recommended I re-post here.
The first frame looks for the newer analyzers with *IDN? then if that fails sets the boolean in the error cluster to TRUE. The next frame then uses the error cluster's boolean to decide whether an older HP analzer is connected instead using ID? query. Disclaimer: the second frame is a clone of the ID query of the 856x Initialize VI. I just want to use what already worked - no reinventing the same wheel?
But, lo and behold, it doesn't work as expected. If I have the frames in this order and connect a HP8563E the GPIB time's out error. This code works with the newer 4407 or 4440 since the *IDN? query passes and the second frame is not executed.
Now, when I move the second frame to become the first frame and run it with HP8563E the query works but will have a GPIB timeout if I have the 4407 or 4440 connected.
Long story short, how do I support both older GPIB ID? and newer IDN? in my code?
I have attached the query VI created with LV 2012.
Many thanks!

What is the best way to compress for streaming internet use?

I have been having some problems using compressor when using the Mpeg-4 internet streaming option. I am compressing from Final Cut Pro HD.
When I send these 1 to 2 1/2 minute clips to compressor, it opens up the batch monitor, and within a split second, it vanishes and doesn't compress at all. What could be causing this?
Am I doing something wrong?

Compressor is a good way to do it if you have a large batch and have other things to do. For quick one-offs, I use QT 7 Pro.
They get all the way to the Batch Monitor, then you never see the successful message? I would try some trial and error experiments. Export to QT mov. Then load that to compressor. The link between FCP and Compressor could be broken. It happened to me.

What is the best way to search for tags in Finder?

There are a lot of articles out there written about Tags in Mavs. All of them cover how to apply tags, but there is hardly anything written about searching and finding files.
Now, does anyone here actually use tags in Finder? How do you search for them? Did anyone ditch folders or stytematic file-naming?

I am currently using and experimenting with Tags. Searching, finding, and managing your tags is pretty straight forward. On the far left side of any Finder window, you have a selected number of Tags predetermined and an option for "all tags." If you click on this link, it will take you to a menu where ALL tags in use are listed. Change the name and color for them just as you would any other file name (I have a usb mouse, so it's a right click for me).
If you used the "labels" feature (color-coding documents and folders), you have used tags; its the same idea, but now you define a word as what you are sorting by.
To search for a tag, I either use the in-Finder search or Spotlight (which may be the same, but I am not sure--I am also a newer Mac convert and am still learning the ropes). I have started to organize my schoolwork solely by tagging it, but I have run into issues where I have "Exam 01" for one class and need to make a second "Exam 01" file for another class (I created different tags for each class).
I will say that, since I started to only use the minimum amount of folders, I have noticed somewhat significant speed improvements in startup times and normal use. However, this coincided with the release of Mavericks so I do not know truly whether the folders help or not.
One of the things I both love and hate about tags is that you can search across multiple folders (or drives in my case) for documents matching the tag in question. When I download classwork from our school's website, I tag with the appropriate class name, and then move to external hard drive (yeah, I am paranoid). Unfortunately, if I then don't delete the copy inside the "downloads" folder, the document will show up if I try to list all of my "Class" tags.
Best of luck,

What is the best way to keep high res when saving "for web"

the files i'm saving for web so i can get them in jpg (or gif) format are coming out very pixelated. this is when i print the image.
what is the best way to save for web an image and keep the resolution good.
using for a business card template. avery template will let me attach images i want to the project. to do this.. i "get file from computer" and it drops the image in but real small... then you are supposed to enlarge it onto your work however you want. well when i enlarge this image file, it gets pixelated badly. i'm thinking it's the way i'm saving it. i do not adjust anything when i save. maybe i should. this is where i need guidance.
this is what avery template notes about the images i am allowed to use - When uploading the image, the maximum size allowed is 4 MB. You can only upload JPG and PNG images either as RGB or CMYK. so when you recommend things, can you please keep this in mind
thank you for oyur time.

Aida,
When you save with the default template using save for web it is generally a very low settings.
While in the save window you can define the pixel size of the image you want with quality as well as resolution too.
Refer to tv.adobe.com video save for web or Adobe help file for detailed instructions.

What is the best way to add volume to my mix?

Hola,
I have a track which is very very low in volume, and there's a ton of automation data on a ton of tracks... And I am just wondering what is the best way to compensate for this? I read somewhere that Logic's gain plugin may actually be degrading sound quality due to it being restricted to a (unspecified) bit depth... Is there another gain plug-in or method to do this?
Or.. Is there a way to tell logic to raise each and every point of automation on each and every track by a specified db?
-patrick

Yeah. I think that's probably a much better way to
work.
Is there any problem adding a Free G plugin to OUT
1-2, and cranking that up until I have a good
signal?
-patrick
Hi Patrick,
Is the stereo mix the one that is not loud enough? When you play it through a different system it's too soft,but when you play it through your mix monitors it sounds loud enough?
I think if this is the case,you need to turn down your monitors,and turn up everything up inside Logic. I had a friend who did not understand monitoring,and had reeeeeeally expensive speakers,but no way to control their leve,so all his mixes ended up being -30 dB from maximum.they coul dnot be mastered,becasue when you add that much gain to a mix,you also bring the noise floor up byt that much,and you end up with a very hissy,messy,crappy,disgusting mix.
So,if I were you,I'd check my gain structure,and make sure you can control levels at every stage of the signal path,from mic to speakers.
Set your monitors to playback at about 80dB spl.Go to Radio Shack and invest in a SPL meter,they are not expensive,and are well worth it.
Cheers
