What to use to study for the Clad exam?

Hello to all who may read this.
I will be going for my CLAD exam in just a few months and I hope that I will pass it and finally attain my certification.
I have a question for anyone who can answer it. What materials should I consider using to study for this test? I have been to the Basics 1 and 2, with Daq following that. I was a novice using LabView and could write a fairly decent program measuring temperatures and frequency sensors / transducers. However, I transferred to a new lab and haven't been able to even crack the book to maintain my level of knowledge for approximately 1 1/2 years. I haven't ever built a state machine or anything like that. My test will be in about 2 months, and I need a little direction on the study materials. Any help for me cramming all this in my head would be useful and appreciated. Preferably an app engineer or a clad, cld holder advice would be most helpful.
Please email me with any questions and / or advice you may have.

thanx in advance,
Myke

To add to one of the previous posts, if you can get a hold of a newer (7.x) version (while there are differences between 7.0 and 7.1 they're not huge) write programs using as many of the main concepts (Loops, cases, etc.,) as possible. It will help you in the CLAD exam, things that are theoretical will also be remembered in the practical part of your brain!. Plus, if and when you are ready to take the CLD exam being _very_ familiar with the environment will really help. The following only applies when you are ready to take the CLD exam:
As an addition to the previous post, (when you are taking the CLD exam), while you will be tested up to the version previous to the latest release, the test center may have the latest release on the computer you will use. Not much difference between 7.0 and 7.1, environment wise, but if all you have programmed in were the previous to 7.x releases, the environment (look and feel) of the "out of the box" installation is very different. The biggest problem that many have with the CLD exam isn't the difficulty of the problem as much as thinking of a solution and then implementing it within the test time. A good friend, and one of the best LabVIEW programmers I've known, wasn't familiar with the new lay out and didn't know that NI had given switches to make 7.x look like 6.x and the mental context switching and the looking for familiar tools in unfamiliar places cost him the exam (CLD) the first time he took it. The exam(s) are not terribly tough if you are prepared, but they are definitely not trivial either. Which is as it should be for them to have any validity!
Study hard and good luck.

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is!

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is! Can anyone help??

You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes. Then you entered a password.
It would be that specific password it is asking for.

TS1702 We use one ID for the Apps store for 2 iPhones. In the second profile on the Macit is impossible to update apps there is a mistake. What is the decision?

We use one ID for the Apps store for 2 iPhones. In the second profile on the Macit is impossible to update apps there is a mistake. What is the decision?

This happens when you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". Also uncheck the other phone's phone number, if present.

What to study for the Microsoft 70-680 to help me get Microsoft Certified

Dear Microsoft Tech Forum,
I have taken the Microsoft Certification Exam 70-680, Configuring Windows 7, and failed the first time around earlier this month. The reason for this is very simple. I have been studying out of date material. You see, the book that Microsoft Press issued
for the Microsoft 70-680 which I have in my possession was published 5 years ago. I never found out until it was too late that the exam underwent a change in March of 2014. Now I need updated material to help me study for the exam. May you please suggest to
me some new materials I'll need to study for the Microsoft 70-680 and where I can get notifications that they changed the exam and what to study? I have the ability to do this again.
Regards,
sampsoninc916

If you're doing self-study via book, then check Amazon to see what books they have and what the user review/ratings are. That should provide you with information as to which book may be a better choice.

What are the CLAD exam topics?

Hi guys,
Here I am a bit confised about the topics covered in CLAD exam. My confusion comes from the fact that in the NI site for preparation guidlines the topics outlined are as follows:
Exam Topics (Outline):
LabVIEW programming principles
LabVIEW environment
Data types, software constructs, and Graphical User Interface (GUI) elements
Variables and functions
Simple design patterns
SubVI design
VI design and documentation
Error handling
Debugging tools and techniques
But if you scroll down at the bottom of the page is a download link with a PDF file. I've attached this file to this message.
In it the topics outlined include much more advances ones from Intermediate I and II such as event driven programming, TCP/UDP, Data Sockets, Custom Error generation, VI and application reference, dinamicaly loading of subVI and so on.
Can somebody who has passed this exam recently clarify me with what exactly is included in CLAD?
I'll be very thankful to any input because in 10 days I have to go and pass it.
Thanks, Slavie

Hi Slavie,
The topics for the CLAD are those you cited in your post :

The other topic you saw in the pdf file you mentioned might be part of CLD et CLA (which are quite different from CLAD)
Hope this helps

ORA-04054 : using variable substitution for the database link name

Hi,
I need to use variable substitution for the database link name.
Here is my command :
declare
GET VARCHAR2(50);
begin
select OIA_GET_DESIGNATION into GET from INFODRI.OMA_IN_ARTICLES;
for rec in (select * from [email protected]_GET_DESIGNATION)
LOOP
dbms_output.put_line('TEN_CODE vaut : '||rec.ten_code);
END LOOP;
exception
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ERREUR ORACLE DETECTEE : '||rec.OIR_CUR);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Message Erreur : '||SUBSTR(SQLERRM,1,245));
:crd := -1;
end;
When I run this programm, I receive the error :
ORA-04054: database link REC.OIA_GET_DESIGNATION does not exist
When I replace :
for rec in (select * from [email protected]_GET_DESIGNATION)
by :
for rec in (execute immediate 'select * from tensions@'||rec.OIA_GET_DESIGNATION)
I receive the error :
PLS-00103 : Encountered the symbol "IMMEDIATE" while parsing.
What can I do to resolv my problem ?
Regards,
Rachel

What is the name of the DB Link and the name of the object you are selecting
from?
I find it easier to create a view on the remote object then use that in selects.
e.g,
Link Name = MyLink
Object_name = Addr_Loc
create or replace VIEW Rem_Addr_Loc AS
select * from addr_loc@mylink;
In the code I then use the view
begin
for C_Rec in (select * from Rem_Addr_loc)
loop
dbms_output.put_line('Rec: '|| C_Rec.Col1);
end loop;
end;

APs using different channels for the same SSID

Hi,
This might be a stupid question, but I am wondering why my Aironet 1602i and 2602i access points connected to the same controller would use different channels for the same network. Would this be to avoid interference? If so, I am planning to put 9 access points throughout the office and they will be fairly close to each other. Would this increase the risk of interference?
Thanks,
Tibet

That is normal. The WLC is determining the best channel and being in different channels is the best. When you add more, the WLC will decide by the use if RRM what channels and power levels to allocate to each AP.

Use a variable for the integer in Fmt offset modifier

I'm trying to pluck values out of a long array of comma separated string
values.
I'm doing this within a loop and would like to use the loop interation to
point to the starting point in the array.
Here's what I have working so far:
Fmt (scratch,"%s<%s[i0t44]",transmitBuf);
Works great.
Now if I go in and change i0 to i3 then my modifier doesn't start looking
for a comma "," until after the 3rd character. Still working great. However....
If I try to use an integer called "loop" instead of the literal offset
value it blows up:
Fmt (scratch,"%s<%s[iloopt44]",transmitBuf);
Is there a way that I can use a variable for the integer portion of the
offset modifer?
Thanks All!

Hi Roberto
Thank you. I actually need to use a symbolic value for the interger section of the modifer vs. the specifier.
So, in my example:
Fmt (scratch,"%s<%s[i0t44]",transmitBuf);
I want to make the following substitution (Assume z=0)
Fmt (scratch,"%s<%s[izt44]",transmitBuf);
Some background...
I'm looking to loop index through a long CSV string array (transmitBuf) that looks like this:
1,PEEP,7,6,,,21,20,
So on my first loop when I use the following:
Fmt (scratch,"%s<%s[i0t44]",transmitBuf);
scratch = "1"
... Perfect. I now do a string length of scratch (which equals 1)
and add 1 to it, I'm ready for my next loop which would
literally read like this:
Fmt (scratch,"%s<%s[i2t44]",transmitBuf);
However, I want to put this inside a loop, so I would like to
increment a variable (++z) and use the following:
Fmt (scratch,"%s<%s[izt44]",transmitBuf); ---- Ka-Boom!
So it's the use of the variable in the modifer that blows up
the Fmt command.
appreciate any thoughts...
Thanks
Mark

When you set up tracks what is best to pick for the input and output?

When you set up tracks what is best to pick for the input and output? also what is the buss output? Thanks

First part of the question I don't understand, so could you elaborate please?
Second part: bus output is used for submixes, for example, let's say you want the same EQ to be applied to all guitars in the song, so instead of using same EQ plug-in on all guitar tracks, you feed the output from these tracks to a bus track and use the effect just once on this bus submix.

What excatly this program do for the R/3 job

Hi,
In R/3 side there is a job and got there variant and program. I want to know what excatly this program do for the R/3 job where we can see in SM37?
Thanks,

Hi......
Go to SE38 >> Give the Program name................Display.............from there check the code...........u will get the answer..........but for that u hav to know ABAP..........
U can take help of some ABAPER.............
Actually..........a vriant is something like a specific selections............for an example...... if you have a report instead doing the selections all the time.. you save the selection as variant............it reduces time..........errors in input...........you can schedule a background job only using variants........
Generally..........we create a JOb in SM36.........as already said............there the job is created using the program and the variant..............while executing the job...........this program get executed.........

HT2493 What format can I put for the icon?

I want to change the boring icon of the folder icon. But I tried to put the Jpeg format icon and I failed! What format can I put for the icon?

Are you trying to change one of the system level folder icons (so that every folder of that type uses your new icon) or specific folder icons for folders you have created?
The first requires special techniques that modify system level resources & is not recommended unless you know exactly what you are doing.
The second should work just like in the article.
