What is the little square box in the string constant input?

Hello LabVIEW World -
I am attempting to understand a LabVIEW code that I did not write. At one point, there is a string (Equal?) comparison that is comparing a string from a VISA Read to a string constant input. The string constant has a little square box inside of it.
Does anyone know what this little square box is? (See attached screenshot)
Thanks.

When I place string constants like this I will display then either as hex or in the codes mode. Either of these will make the code more readable. Using the default ASCII string display is useless other than letting you know it is an unprintable character.

I keep getting the little blue box with the question mark

Hi
I have 10.6.7 system software and my safari is 5.0.4
I have called apple twice with this problem already but nothing has helped except for short times.
I have reset safari about one dozen times and when I do I reset the top 7 items and I've emptied the cache in addition just in case. I've also taken my safari preference plist out of my library and trashed it.
And I've run disk utilities many times and restarted my computer. Each thing I do will solve the problem for a short time, even up to a day or more (or less) but then it comes back. For instance on Facebook maybe 1/8th of the thumbnail images have the little blue boxes with the question marks but most don't. I can't figure it out. Sometimes even the iPAD safari gets them too but my firefox doesn't show them and neither does Safari on my eMac.
Yesterday the question marks even showed up in ONE mailing on all 3 computers with the question marks in the blue boxes (meaning my iMac, my eMac and my iPad) but then it just all resolved after a few hours. This does sound like possibly a server problem except today it's happening (in Safari again) only on this iMac in Safari (not firefox) and not on the other two devices.
One more thing, since they changed my radio on the roof for my wireless internet, the 5.8 phone cuts out the internet when I use it. The problem has gotten worse since they changed the radio to the same frequency as the phone, it's a much faster service than the 2.4 radio. I don't know if this is related or not.
Thank you,
Martha

<Contact your ISP.
Is it possible, Carolyn, that this would mainly and almost always be only affecting the iMac and Safari in the iMac if it were a server issue? Right now Safari has more blue boxes with question marks than ever and the eMac and iPad have none. Firefox on the iMac has none also.
I should try a direct connection and by pass the router and see if that makes a difference.
I will contact them tomorrow but I want to get clear in my head first all the facts and possibilities.
Thanks!

What is this little grey box in the bar ruler of Logic Pro 9?

What is the little grey rectangular marker above and to the left of the green triangle? It moves around like an auto punch or loop marker. I think it was causing my project to export a 17 minute long mixdown when the audio files end after about four minutes so I want to get rid of it. Thanks.

You can not get rid of it!

Can I make the little white box with the cross in it disappear?

Layout mode. There is a tiny little square with cross in it, at bottom of text box. Cool. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.
Is there a way to make that little box disappear? So I can view the page as it will print out? I'm making graphic images with LOTS of those little text boxes ... it's hard to judge the final layout with all those little squares with crosses in them.
Ben

Hi,
The + is shorthand for "There is extra material contained in this text box that you can't see." To make the cross go away you need to increase the size of the box. Just to make things a bit more confusing, sometimes the "extra" material is the default text that is replaced by text you type into the box. Thus while you "know" that there is no text in the box not currently showing if you take a look you'll find placeholder text put there by Pages.
Best,
Win

Where is the little "F" box on the left before the address bar that allowed me to make quick posts to Facebook?

Before this update I had a little box on the left in front of the address bar that allowed me to click it and get a quick post box pop up to Facebook from whatever page I was on, now it is gone and I cannot find it. I had to do a reset of Firefox because it was running very slowly. I got a little message at the bottom that suggested the reset and so I did that. I have never had issues when there was an update. But it seems that my add-ons are gone :( I had a little menu drop down on the left side in front of the Most Visited that had all of the social media quick links also and it is gone now. I will check back in 24 hours to see if anyone has any ideas on where my little quick post button went.

To count the number of while loops, do you just have to attach a DBL indicator to the little i box in the while loop of the program?

I have just followed an example in a book to count while loops and was just want to make sure I havent missed something simple. My program is attached

Hi Ssteel,
Just some additional observations/tips on your code...
1. I notice that you have a standard stop button going into a "run if true" stop condition of the while loop. In this cercumstance it is common to have the stop condition set as "stop if true". You can change this by right clicking the stop terminal and enabling the "stop if true" property. Obviously, it somewhat depends on your design preferences.
2. If you have any issues with the application, perhaps you notice that it is taking over your processor resources, you should add some execution timing into the while loop. You will find the timing functions in the block diagrams functions palette (programming > timing). The Wait (or "wait until next ms") functions will provide your application with "down time", which means that the processor can execute other tasks.
3. To elaborate what MikeS81 correctly stated, insert an incriment before the numeric indicator as shown below to get the actual number of cycles (i.e. the count terminal of the "while" and "for" loops are 0 indexed). Also note that I have changed the representation of the count to interger (blue). You do not need floating point precion when displaying the inciment count, at a while loop can only execute a "whole number" of times.
I hope this has been useful to you Ssteel.
Thanks for your post,

What is the little square?

I have a new installation of LV on a Dell Precision 370 Workstation configured as follows: 2.8 Ghz p4, 1 g ram, 2 SATA HD, PCI express NVidia dual head video card, dual LCD displays, and a PCI-6071E DAS card. Whenever LV is running, a little square, about 2/3s the size of the minimize button floats on the number 1 display. It can not be moved, does not respond to double clicks, however, it can be grabbed and an outline dragged. The outline vanishes when released. It does not seem to interfere with any applications, including LV. The center of the square momentarily changes to a blueish shade of color when DAQ Assistant property box is clicked OK, whether modified or not. The only time it disappears is with another application running on top of it or LV is shut down.
I was having a problem with the DAQ Assistant locking the system; installing the 7.1.1 Update seems to have cured the locking problem, but not the little square.
Has anybody seen this? I can email an image of the little creature, should anybody need to see it.
Thanks for looking into this,

Could you poll VI-server and ask for open VI's and their size? I have no idea how these pop-up but maybe the getting started window is hijacked?

How can i scroll vertically without the little black box?

Hello,
I need to review alot of pdf documents with adobe reader 9.0 or acrobat pro, and i need to be able to move forward and backward fast alot using both the mouse wheel and the scroll bar. I'm having a problem with this.
When i click "show one page at a time"-button and I use the scroll bar in the right, reader doesnt scroll the through the pages, but instead shows an idiotic little black box on the right thats too small to see pretty much anything from.
If i use the "scroll through pages continuously"-button, the scroll bar works normally, but the mouse wheel works too slow.
Using the reader in either way feels like running with a ball and chain in my leg, and I do really believe im not the only one.
Despite of hours of searching, trial and error I've somehow managed to miss how to remove that black pop-up-thing and scroll normally, when using the "show one page at time".
Please tell me I can scroll normally with scroll bar while being able to move fast with the wheel, and how do I do it?

Thanks.
What i mean in brief:
In adobe reader you cannot live-scroll with the scroll bar when using the "show one page at a time" setting, but instead it shows a little thumbnail-window on the right. The other setting makes mouse wheel too slow to be useful.
A scroll bar that doesn't live-scroll is probably one of the most horrible "features" you can have in a program. Since it's in a program as common as adobe reader, im guessing there's alot of frustrated googling going on about it.No answers around though.

How do you change song start quickly without dragging the little square?

I have a song starting at bar 300 and I want to move the start to bar 1. How can you do this quickly without haveing to move the square box. The box is very slow and time consumeing with time start.
Thanks

create a keyboard shortcut. Hit option k, which brings up the key commands window.
In the spotlight upper right hand corner type "go to position."
A menu will come up which displays the all the go. The one in particular has black bullet which says "go to position" Click on that one.
Now to the right of that menu you'll see several radial buttons. Press the one which says, "learn by key label".
Now assign a key of you own. I used the comma which looks like , that. If you have nothing assigned to the comma it will make that go to position the , (comma) key command, which is only accessed by a key command. (thats what those black bullets mean in front of the huge menu).
close the key commands and press the comma key. A new window will show up called the "Go to Postion". Type in the bar or the smpte and it will automatically go to that postion. Press space bar which is the global command for play.
you'll be at bar 1 or 300 instantly! create key commands of your own with those above techniques especially when things get repetitive.

What is the little Red 1 on the iCal icon in the Doc?

Uh...what is that little red 1 on the iCal icon in the doc when I open iCal...and how do I make it go away?
I'm sure a ridiculously simple answer is headed my way...Thanks

That means that you have an event invitation. Click on the envelope icon in the bottom left corner of the iCal window to display the invitation and choose what to do with it.

What is the easiest way to access the router from an iPad? I have no problems accessing it from my laptop. Even though I am entering the address in the left address box, not the Google search box, it wants to do either a search, or add www to the beginning of the IP address.
I usually can eventually access the router, but it is way to much trouble. However, I use my iPad hundreds of times more often than my laptop.

Are you typing http:// in front of the IP address of the router? e.g. http://192.168.0.1
Sometimes, and with some routers it doesn't seem to like it if you miss off the http://
