What's the best way to store test parameters for future use?

I'm creating a test stand that will perform various "standard" tests. Each of the tests has it's own setpoints (integer numbers) as well as some string values that are stored in the log file with the data.
What is the easiest way to store these setpoints and strings so that I can pull them into the VI in the future, say by selecting a test type from a ring control, etc.?
I would also like to make this dynamic so that new test types can be stored from the vi. (i.e. I don't want to have to hard code all the future tests and their parameters).

I like INI files, too. If you are looking for an easy way to read and write your parameters to INI, take a look at the Variant Configuration File IO Library of the OpenG Toolkit.

What is the best way to export a video for broadcast using FCE? H264?

I need to get the best quality HD video for broadcast using final cut express and I need to know all info and settings please?

Hello,
You need to find out from the broadcaster what specs they require you to meet. H.264 is probably not it.

What is the best way to store and search 2D data

Hi,
There is a set of data (~10k records ) in 2D dimension.
like this :
Col 1, Col 2, Col3....
What is the best way to store and search those records ?
Thanks in advance
Wilson

Hi,
Either userObjet[][] if you know how much data you have, and the data size is fixed, or use a list of lists. E.g. A Vector of Vectors (some will probably say that you should use an ArrayList instead, and that could be the case, but it sounds like you would want to display the data later on, and a DefaultTableModel (for JTables) uses a Vector as data holder).

What is the best way to store a battery?

Hi,
I have an extra MBP battery. What is the best way to store this extra battery? Should I store it when it is fully charged? or Should I store it when it is half full? Is it necessary to use that batter once in a while?
Thank you beforehand.
Bob

If you're storing it for a long time, put it away when it's about half full. If you have a couple of batteries for your MacBook, I'd recommend swapping batteries once a month or so to extend the life of both batteries.

What is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?

For I-phone and I-pad, what is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi? I turned off wifi in my settings but my boss thinks there may be another way and a better way to use something else instead of wifi. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Thanks! That is a very good question you post. My boss asked me that and I am assuming that he is having issues with using wifi wherever he is at. My boss is the kind of person that when he asks something you look into it and ask him no questions...he's the only one asking questions! But thank you for your response I will tell him the information you told me and hopefully that will help!

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple PXI(Real-Time) to GUI PC?

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple Real time (PXI) to GUI PC? I have 16 Nos of PXI system in network and 1 nos of GUI PC. I want to send command to all the PXI system with using single variable from GUI PC(Like Start Data acquisition, Stop data Acquisition) and I also want data from each PXI system to GUI PC display purpose. Can anybody suggest me best performance system configuration. Where to create variable?(Host PC or at individual PXI system).

Dear Ravens,
I want to control real-time application from host(Command from GUI PC to PXI).Host PC should have access to all 16 sets PXI's variable. During communication failure with PXI, Host will stop data display for particular station.
Ravens Fan wrote:
Either. For the best performance, you need to determine what that means. Is it more important for each PXI machine to have access to the shared variable, or for the host PC to have access to all 16 sets of variables? If you have slowdown or issue with the network communication, what kinds of problems would it cause for each machine?
You want to located the shared variable library on whatever machine is more critical. That is probably each PXI machine, but only you know your application.

what is the best way to erase my computer for personal stuff while leaving the computer ready to use

If the Mac came with Mountain Lion or Lion, press Command, Option and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility, erase the disk and reinstall Lion or Mountain Lion. If it came with Snow Leopard or older, insert the DVD, press C key on boot, go to Utilities > Disk Utility, erase the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard

I need to organize medical photos. They are pre-op and post-op photos. What is the best way to organize them. should I use iphoto or is that too much trouble.

I need to organize medical photos. They are pre-op and post-op photos. What is the best way to organize them? should I use iphoto or is that too much trouble? Since they occur on different days, organizing by event does not seem appropriate. Also, organizing by face is not always possible as some are close up photos of an individual eye. Surely, this has been done before, and I don't want to spin my wheels reinventing this.

Who can tell with that amount of information to work with?
iPhoto is not limited to Events or Faces as organizational tools - Albums, Keywords, various forms of metadata can be leveraged for use as well, and these are often more flexible. Really it's up to you to look at the tools available and see if they suit your usage scenario.

What's the best way to store my info externally

I have recently bought my first Macbook Pro 13" with 2.4 Ghz. I am currently using it for my own business and do tend to get a lot of files together. I went to look at "About this Mac" and have already got 369 Gb used up in storage... I have no idea how I have done that as I have hardly downloaded any apps on this computer besides the ones that were on here. I did download Vware Fusion 4 as I have a reservation system which I used to run on my pc and need to have this on here too so perhaps that software takes a lot of space.
Could anyone advise on which is the best way to store my info externally, will any external harddrive do, or do you need a special one for Apple or Macbook pro. I am just asking as I have no idea and prefer to buy the right one straight away.
Any help would be much appreciated !
Thanks, Sara***

Sara,
The most reliable method is to use an external hard drive. Some are better than others, but most will work.
For the least amount of setup pain, I prefer to deal with the Mac specialists at OWC, http://www.macsales.com as they stand behind their products with great warranty and support. I have one of their Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB drives that has multiple interface capability so you can get a fast interface for data transfer.
Take a look at what they offer and see what fits your needs. If you have more questions about doing thin, just ask on here.

What's the best way to store old FCP projects & media?

Hey
I've started to accumulate more and more video content of client projects, but I don't want to delete it in case they come back a year later looking for an update on the video product I made them.
So, what's he best way to store FCP projects and video files?
I thought maybe a BluRay burner might do the trick.
Any suggestions?
Sam

Since you're using RAW files you might peruse the DAM Forum to learn about possible other DAM (digital asset management) software and workflows. There is a wealth of information at that site.
I useMedia Expression for my primary DAM application and iPhoto for special projects like books, calendars, etc.

What is the best way to store videos using Macbook Air?

I have a Macbook Air and I don't want to store videos on the hardrive because it will fill up fast. I have a lot of videos - for people that also take a lot of videos - what is the best way in your opinion or best place to store video? For example, on a server, on a cloud server, etc?

Ok, so do you have a recommend brand and space capacity?
You mentioned that one of your primary needs is to store video, which demands large capacity. As a consequence I'd suggest a drive with at least 1Tb, perhaps greater, capacity. I don't have a preferred brand or manufacturer - it's a bit like recommending which is better between Ford and Chevy - but I have a couple of Western Digital external USB drives which have proven very reliable, and a Seagate which is used as a daily backup and has worked flawlessly.
DWB's point about backups is important too, because when you store files on any drive there is a risk of that drive failing - and indeed, all drives will fail at some point. The question is, can you live with the total loss of those files if the drive does fail? If you are storing files that you value, then a backup is needed to help protect those files. Ideally that would mean two drives, not one. One to use for the storing the files, and the second to use to back those files up.

What's the best way to manage Apple IDs for multiple devices?

Hi,
We have
a shared Macbook air
a shared iPad
my iPhone
his iPhone
We want to put one ID on the Macbook and iPad that we can use to have the same iMessage on both and that we can put a card on and use in the iTunes store etc.
We also want to have our own iMessages on our iPhones, plus be able to use the account with the cards on them to purchase and share across devices...
What's the best way to manage them all?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes is straight forward, just use the same ID on all of them.
What exactly do you want to see in messages on the Mac and iPad, messages combined from each of your phones or a different account just for both of you.
You should think about what you want in calendars, contacts etc, on your shared devices.
