What is the fastest way to familiarize oneself with FrameMaker 9?

I'm a retired tech writer (manufacturing) returning after 9 yrs away. I've just loaded the Technical Communication Suite 2 (Whoee!) and have to get FrameMaker back in my head. Any ideas on how to get there fastest? Thanks from an old retread!

Alan,
Welcome back to Framedom. The core functions haven't changed much in unstructured FM. Though with the new FM9, you'll get a different interface. There are a number of online video resources available from Adobe that will give you an overview of the interface and other aspects (primarily structured/DITA) . See the various videos and tutorials at: http://www.adobe.com/support/framemaker/
For self-paced tutorials, there's an excellent wiki from Scriptorium (for older versions, but good for probably 90+% of the functionality that you need) at http://wiki.scriptorium.com/tiki-index.php

What's the fastest way to transfer files with Migration Assistant?

I am trying to transfer everything from an iMac 21.5 over Ethernet with Migration Assistant and it is 20+ Hours estimated transfer time. Once I strt can I switch to Thunderbolt? Everything I've read states this is the fastest means.
Thanks!

Thanks. Through further investigation my old iMac does not have a Thunderbolt port so that's out of the question. I think it was going over wifi instead of Ethernet so I disabled my router and am now migrating from Time Machine via USB 2.0. Estimated around 3+ hours now.
Any idea how to get my old iMac out of migration mode?

What is the fastest way of getting data?

With a scanning electron microscope, I need to scan a 512*512 pixel area with a pixel repetition of 15000 (two channels), meaning averaging over 15000 measurements. Simultaneously I have to adjust the voltage output for every pixel.
I am using a 6111E Multifunction I/O board in a 800MHz P3. The whole task has do be done as fast as possible (not more than 20 minutes altogether).
What is the fastest way to get this huge amount of data with averaging and output in between? (E.g. do I use buffered read with hardware triggering or is there a faster way?)

Using the NI-DAQ API (not LabView) will give you a significant amount of more control over what happens and when to the data stream; which translates to a more efficient program. But you need to program in C/C++ or Delphi then. The Measurement Studio provides ActiveX controls that are like the LabView ones for C&C++ (they�re slow like the LabView ones though � not a lot you can do about the Windows GDI).
What are you trying to sample 15000 times? The 512*512 pixel field?
That�s almost 15Gigs of data! And it means you need to process data at 12.8MB/s to finish it in 20 minutes. I hope you know C, x86 assembly and MMX.
I would setup a huge circular buffer (NI-DAQ calls them �double buffers�), about 30 seconds worth or so, to use with SCAN_Start. Then I would proces
s the actual buffer the card is DMA�ing the data into with a high priority thread. Progressively sum the scan values from the 16bit buffer (the samples are only 12 bit, but the buffer should still be 16bits wide) into a secondary buffer of DWORDs the size of the screen (512*512), and you�ll need two of those, one for each channel. Once the 15000 scans are complete, convert each entry into a float divide by 15000.0f, and store it in a third buffer of floats.
If you wish to contract this out, send me an email at [email protected]

Sq01 what is the fastest way,

hi all,
what is the fastest way to detect coding that update to eban from sq01?
as i am facing problem with more than 100,000 PRs updated mysteriously (customer tab data ) without any history changes .
i suspected it might be from query and i need to find the root cause of problem immediately
pls advice

Hi Ester,
Haven't got clearly what you written.
You mean to say, there is modifications done to query for updation?
if it is a standard code then I don't think it is used for modification.

What's the fastest way to share files live between 2 Macs in the same room?

Please can I have some advice on this scenario?
I'll need to share HD video footage between 2 new Mac Pros in the same room. 1 Mac will be used to upload the footage and the other to edit it using FCP. The footage can be stored either on hard drives in the edit machine or on desktop hard drives connected to the edit machine (or if there is a better option I'm open to advice).
What is the fastest way of sharing the files and what is the simplest way?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

What is the fastest way of sharing the files and what is the simplest way?
Fastest way? a fiber channel SAN connecting the two machines to a common fiber-channel based storage array. Can't beat it for performance, but it comes at a cost (think $20K as a starting point, depending on the amount of storage you need).
Simplest way? Some external media (thumb drive, external hard drive, etc.) that you shuffle between the two machines
Intermediate: a NAS-based storage box on your network, although be aware that real-time editing of HD video can overwhelm many low-end NAS boxes.

What is the fastest way to transfer files and applications from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro?

What is the fastest way to transfer files and applications from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro?
I have a Firewire cable and Thunderbolt adapter, but no icons showing either Mac appear on either desktop.

The fastest way is to use Carbon Copy Cloner and a external drive formatted GUID OS X Ext. J in Disk Utlilty, then connecting to the new Mac and using Migration Assistant in the Utilites folder.
Even faster, if you can determine your going to replace all the apps from fresh sources anyway (like if the older Mac's OS X verison is old thus the apps) then just use a external drive and copy just your files to it, then connect to the new Mac and transfer over.
Some apps you can just grab the registration code and install it fresh on the new machine with the old code, talk to the developer about transfering the program, as long as it's deleted on the older Mac in the process.
It used to be Firewire Target disk mode was fastest, but since Thunderbolt came out...
Notice this support doc hasn't been updated since june 2012, no Thunderbolt info

What's the fastest way to kill the battery...

hello friends. i was wondering what's the fastest way to drain my macbook pro battery so i can calibrate it? i want to kill the battery not the laptop if you know what i mean. thanks.

Turn on wifi + bluetooth and turn the brightness all the way up, and if its a new mbp, turn off the automatic video card switching in energy saver. Then just play youtube videos / movies / games (anything that uses the vid card as much as possible helps) till it goes flat.

What's the fastest way to change IP addresses in a Project?

Hi folks,
I'm using a cFP2100 controller with LabVIEW 8.2.1. I made a project using a configuration I created in MAX. Now I've moved the whole bank of modules to a new location, and the controller now has a new IP address via DHCP. My question is, what's the fastest way to update the IP address for my project? Do I have to make a brand new project with a new .iak file that has the new IP address? I'm thinking there's got to be an easier way.
Thanks!
Eric

Hi Eric,
Since you are getting your IP address from a DHCP server, the IP address of your Fieldpoint device is ultimately dependant on the server. If your IP address changes, you have two choices. You can right click your target and go to properties. In the properties under the general category, you can change the IP address of the target. The second option is to import a new IAK file into your project by right clicking the Project Name and going to import>>iak file.
I hope this helps,
Regards,

What is the best way to stream sports with Apple TV

What is the best way to stream sports with apple TV

Your question is a little too broad. Hard to know what sports you are talking about.
If you have a newer Mac, you can use airplay to mirror anything on your Mac to your apple tv. Or use the ESPN app.
But a lot of sports just can't be streamed as they are available, though I bet this year sees a lot of new livestreams on sports on YouTube or Ustream.

What is the easiest way to wrap photos with text in ps CS4?

What is the easiest way to wrap photos with text in ps CS4?

InDesign handles text much better that either Illustrator or Photoshop.
In InDesign there is more than one way to put a frame around a paragraph:
Select the text frame, go to Object menu - Text Frame Options and set the Inset Spacing to keep the text away from the frame edge.
Then select the text frame with the selection tool (black arrow) check the Fill/Stroke icon at the bottom or the tool box and make sure the Stroke is selected, and choose a Stroke width from the tool bar at the top of the screen.
Or you can do it a quick and dirty way by just drawing another frame and place it on top of the text frame. Give this frame a Stroke and make sure the Fill is set to None.
I selected both frames in this example simply to show that they are two separate frames. The first method (above) only produces one frame.
Your original question was regarding text wrap, the third example shows text wrapping around the photo.
Place or type your text. Place your image and go to the Window menu - Text Wrap. You can set the Offset margins individually to keep the text away from the edge of the image.
For things like this InDesign is definitely the best way to go.

I have a bunch of .pmd files that I have to have access to.. I am trying to convert to .pdf. what is the easiest way to do this with updated computers?

I have a bunch of .pmd files that I have to have access to.. I am trying to convert to .pdf. what is the easiest way to do this with updated computers?

Then you can’t do anything with those files. Even opening them in InDesign would yield very unpredictable results.
You’d need to find an old machine running nothing later than Windows XP and then buy a copy of PM which is like lighting money on fire.
That said, someone might come along willing to help out but just exactly how many is a bunch?

DB2 Connect version 8.2 is no longer supported by IBM (support ended April 30, 2009, see http://www.ibm.com/software/data/support/lifecycle/). As far as I know, DB2 Connect is communicating through DRDA, which is a platform-independent protocol supported by all DB2 platforms, so any DB2 Connect client should be able to talk to any DB2 database. However, there may be limitations on the supported release combinations.
Kind regards,
Christian Bartels.

What is the fastest way to detect on to off tag transitions and then read 500 analog tags?

what would be the fastest way to read 500 analog tags from the tag engine when a boolean tag transitions from on to off?? Right now I have a boolean indicator setup with the HMI wizard in a while loop with 20ms timer. The indicator feeds the boolean crossing ptbypt vi. When the output is true, I use one read multiple tags vi to get all 500 at once. I am reading data into the tag engine through an opc server and have around 2500+ tags. I need to read all of the data in less than 100ms. My plc logic is setup to zero out all of the 500 analog tags when the boolean indicator turns on again. Would I be better off using the trend tags vi to monitor the boolean indicator??

Unclebump,
You might try using read tag.vi
