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.

The fastest way to extract the data from Sun One Directory Server 5.2

I'm trying to figure out the best way to extract the whole contents of the Directory Tree of a Sun One DS 5.2. I assum that the best way is db2ldif but it takes about 17 min for about 1.5 GB size database, which seems quite a long time. Is there a faster way?

Thanks,
Actually the file I need should be readable - I need to parse it later on. But I think I just found the answer in the development kit. The utility is called dbscan and it works directly on the database files.
Thanks again anyway,

What's the fastest way to change the acquisition ROI in IMAQdx

I'm trying to change the Offsets and the image width and height from LabVIEW as fast as possible. With the code shown it takes about 200ms. Is there a faster way?
Without the unconfigure and configure I get error -1074360304 0xBFF69010
I'm running RT 8.6

It's a pity because unconfiguring the camera and closing a camera session and takes a short, but not insignificant, amount of time. What I was trying to do was use a small number of lines (~100) in a loop to detect some movement in the object before capturing a much larger image (~8000 lines). But the time needed to reconfigure the camera was such that most of the sample had travelled past the camera before I could start capturing again. In essence I was trying to use the camera to trigger itself, given that the leading edge of my object could be ignored. Might there be another way around this?

What is the fastest way to calculate the rms voltage from a large voltage measurement file?

I have collected voltage measurements for a 60Hz waveform and would like to calculate the RMS voltage in order to determine voltage drift. The data was collected at 100KHz and the TDMS file is 4 hours long (a huge amount of data!). I have run the RMS tool in the basic mathematics block with small sets of data successfully, but the large set seems to take forever to run (48 hours so far and it hasn't finished yet).
1. Is there a faster way to analyze this much data?
2. How does the "one sided interval width" affect my results and analysis time?
3. Can I calculate the RMS voltage with FFT?
4. Is there a way to redce the size of my data file to a manageable size file so the RMS function will run quickly, yet maintain accuracy?

Hi Dave,
Just a thought, If you have a 60 Hz signal, then the 100 Khz is way overkill for the sampling rate, If you would resample the waveform at say 20 X 60 hz= 1200 Hz you should have the same details that would be in the 100 Khz sample signal. That should take substantially less time to do a RMS calculation on the resampled channel. The two commands are listed below.

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'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,

Fastest way to activate the camera?

What is the fastest way to activate the camera on the iPhone 3GS? (rather than pressing the on key; going to camera app;etc).

As to another place to click, I am in some doubt there. When I updated, it was just one of those things available and I did this in one go (as per previous post). I am not sure why this is not working in your case, but did you try powering down and then turning it back on again?
As to the point about 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 I so not think that makes a difference.
Ah, going straight from a locked phone to the camera? I know that one: no. And I regret this as much as you. How do you know you are going to take a spontaneous shot, eh?
A later note on your settings and iLukeKendall's input: you both have the iPod Controls Off, while mine are ON, but the double click reveals the camera for me. Hmmmm.

The best way to find the relationship in table especially for PS

Hi All,
How the fastest way to find the relationship between PS table with another table.
For example table PROJ, PRPS with another table in FICO module...let say the table that store the transaction CJR2...WBS element link to Cost element or activity type...and material on it...
please help.
Cheers,
Nies

go to se38 select any report then click radio button attribute and double on logical data base write PSJ as logical data base for Project and select display structure. You will get all dependant table name in relevant sequence

What is the best way to kill/stop a data load?

Hi.
What is the best way to kill/stop a data load?
I have a data load from my QA R/3 system that is extracting 115.000.000+ records. The problem is that the selection in the function module used in the data source does not work, and the problem was not detected because of the nature of the data on the development system.
I could kill processes owned by my background user (on both R/3 and BW) but I risk killing other loads, and sometimes the job seems to restart if I just try to kill processes. If I remove transactional RFCs in SM58 the load does not terminate; I only skip one or more datapackages. I have also tried to change the QM-status in the monitor to red, but that does not stop the load either...
So isn't there a nice fool-proof way of stopping a dataload?
Best regards,
Christian Frier

Hi,
There r 2 ways to kill the job.
One is using transation RSMO locate the job and display the status tab double click on the yellow light that is shown on the line total, a pop will come 'set overall status ' is displayed select the desired status that is red and save it. Then return to the monitor page and select the header tab double ckick on the data target right click and then goto 'manage',there should be request sitting there probably with yellow lights , highlight the line with the faulty request click the delete button then click refresh button.
Second is goto SM37 and click on the active selection and enter the jobname and then click excute the particulr job should appear highlight the jobname then click on the stop iconthat appears on the taskbar( 3 rd from left)
hope it is clear.

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 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

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
