Which of NI-ELVIS board or myDAQ will be most appropriate for an educational process control demonstration

Please I will like to decide on which hardware products to use for Academic demonstration in the lab. for process control with basic control of temperature and level

Hi Ukairo -
Both hardware products can be used to demonstrate the control of temperature. Can you provide more information on the course to help us provide the best recommendation?
- Mark
1. Do you have a list of the labs used in this course?
2. What type of temperature sensors are you planning to use for the demonstration?
3. Do you have a syllabus for the course you can share?

Which Apple laptop is most appropriate for university students?

I just purchased a 15.4" MacBook Pro for university, which I am starting for the first time in the fall. After having received it however I have my doubts if I chose the right one - weight and size being some of my biggest concerns, along with battery life. The model I have has a 2.53 GHz i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, a 500 GB ATA drive @ 7200 rpm and a hi-res antiglare display. I believe going down to the 13" would also mean going to a lower resolution, glossy display which I have concerns about.
I will be majoring in English, taking for the most part humanities and arts classes, so my computer needs for school would be mostly word processing and presentations - I will be purchasing either iWork or Office to use. I will watch movies and TV shows from time to time, but I don't think the smaller screen size would bother me as I watch them all the time on my iPod touch. I have a fairly extensive music collection and have photos and home videos as well.
As well, after my four-year English degree I will be getting a Masters degree in book publishing, which will require becoming familiar with Adobe Creative Suite 5. I won't be working with these programs in the next four years, but after that my computer will need to be able to handle working with the Suite.
I would be extremely grateful for any opinions - switch to the less powerful but more portable 13", or stick with the 15"?

I appreciate your dilemma. I recently bought a new 15" MBP to replace an older one. While making decisions, I wondered about the smaller screen (size/weight) but stuck with the 15" as it is easier to work with.
You can add to any of the notebooks with an extra monitor (not too dear these days) for graphics work when needed; and as you have arts courses the screen area may help with better appreciation of any works you view.
As regards presentations, the medium of the presentation display is a large screen, but the resolution and size are limited by the projector (using Displays Preferences you can play with this for the best display). Colours also are changed by these devices, so it would be worth taking time to calibrate.
The main reason I would suggest that you make no change for now is that you already have this computer in your hands. Switching now would need data transfers and a (relatively small) learning curve. The machine specs are a bit above what most university students have or need in my opinion, but changing now would cost you (unless you can get a good deal) and there is the data question (above). The power requirements of the Adobe product also suggest the current machine is a better bet (although in 4 years time I would be thinking of a change anyway). Stay with the 15"

Which laptop would be most appropriate for my needs?

Folks,
I am new to the Apple Support Community. So please be patient with a senior citizen trying to go high tech. I am planning to purchase an apple laptop. A friend recommended a 15-inch: 2.6Ghz with Retina display. However based on the response from an earlier post on the Community forum I feel that it would be wise to look at other apple laptops.
I currently have a Windows PC and use Microsoft 7. My ecosystem consists of this PC plus an apple I-pad and I-phone. I feel it would be in my best interest to replace the Windows PC with a Mac Laptop in order to have a more integrated system. I will primarily by using , e-mail, word, excell, and outlook type programs. Plus I will do a lot of web surfing. I do not plan to play any games. Eventually I may take some pictures and read books on my system. Also I would like to occasionally take this laptop with me on trips or to starbucks to do my e-mail and other activities. I would like a combination of easy portability, durability, security against viruses and reasonable costs in purchasing the lap top.
Are there any specific products that any of you could recommend in terms of apple labtops that would best fit my needs? Also are there any other factors I should consider when looking for a laptop?
Thanks in Advance.

If there is an Apple store near you, I would strongly suggest you go and spend a few hours (over multiple days), playing with the different laptops offered by Apple. The store will let you play as long as you like, and except for asking if they can help you, then will mostly leave you alone to play.
If a 13" screen is "Good Enough" then it would be a less expensive option.
If you do not need a lot of storage, then a 13" Macbook Air is a very good traveling system, as it is extremely light (my Wife has one). If I didn't need more storage, I would own one.
If you need more storage, then a 13" Macbook Pro can be a good buy. Not as light, but a very good machine.
If you really need to 15" screen then a 15" Macbook Pro is what you should look at. Whether you want to pay extra for the Retina display is up to you. I think the laptop screens are very good even without Retina.
NOTE: If at home you will mostly be sitting at a desk, then a smaller screen and an inexpensive 20" to 24" external 1080p monitor (or even your HDTV via a mini-Display port to HDMI adaptor) can satisfy the larger screen at home, but the smaller more portable device while away from home.
I would consider getting more than the default RAM (8GB or 16GB if you can afford it). The more RAM will allow memory greedy apps to run in years to come as apps and the OS start wanting more RAM.
I would not worry about the CPU speed. Your stated needs to not require a premium price for a faster CPU.

Which APP is most appropriate to be used immediately after a fresh clean Windows install?

Hi,
The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
Notebook PC support
The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
I know to install the required drivers for my notebook computer, I will need to use the HP Recovery Manager; which will install the original software and hardware drivers that first came with my notebook. To do this, please follow this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7), as well as (Windows 8 and 8.1).
To update the drivers on my computer to the latest software, I recommend following this document on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7) as well as (Windows 8 and 8.1).
However,
First: my primary goal is to know which HP tool is most appropriate for locating, obtaining, and installing all appropriate drivers, updates, etc. immediately after a clean new Windows 7 or 8.1 installation.
I know that HP support assistant helps to download the updates for existing sotware, and drivers. However, if I made a fresh installation of widows, there wouldn't be existing drivers or software, then Which one is most appropriate to be used immediately after a fresh new clean Windows install?? -- to determine, retrieve, and install all the appropriate drivers??
Second: How to save/transfer/export/move the Drivers and Application built-in HP Recovery Manager onto a HDD Or a disc(DVD/CD). So, in case I have delted the HP Recovery Manager, and installed a new Windows 7 installation, then I would be using these Drivers and Applications saved on a HDD or Disc to retrieve, and install all the appropriate dirvers and applications?
Finally: All rivers and Application built-in HP Recovery Manager are saved as NON-SoftPaq on a folder called SwSetup. So could I download all rivers and Application built-in HP Recovery Manager as a SoftPaq.

Will the ELVIS board work with LabVIEW 2010 Student Edition?

I recently acquired a traditional ELVIS board (with the PCI DAQ board). So far I've only installed the evaluation for LabVIEW 2010 (x64), and when I attempt to install the ELVIS Traditional 3.0.5 software I get the following message: "This installer requires LabVIEW 8.5 Full Development system or later to be present on this computer. LabVIEW Base Development System in any version of LabVIEW is not supported. Please install LabVIEW and then run the NI ELVIS installer again."
I am eligible to purchase a student license for LabVIEW 2010 and would like to know if the ELVIS Traditional 3.0.5 software will install after I've acquired a student license.
I am running windows 7 (x64) with an evaluation version of LabVIEW 2010 (x64).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Perhaps I spoke too soon. I purchased a student license for LabVIEW 2010 and am still receiving the same error. I've provided screenshots of my license and the message from the ELVIS Traditional 3.0.5 installer.

Variable output on ELVIS board

Hi,
I need a little help from anyone experienced with ELVIS board. I’m new to LabView, and specially to DAQ tools.
I have vi that is designed to drive small DC motor using ELVIS board and Variable output.
it’s capable of driving small DC and changing speed of rotation, but I need to drive this motor in both directions.
Does anyone know is there any way to achieve this using Variable output (to change it’s polarization), or any other way to do this on ELVIS board.
Thanks in advance.

DC_VARIABLE.vi ‏58 KB

This propose with 4 transistors (H-Bridge) is good but then I can't use Variable supply to drive transistors, as I need two outputs which should be switchable. In other words they should be able to change polarity so oposite transistors can conduct. I could use digital outputs, drive them with PWM, but it's too complicated for me.
The best way maby would be to generate two PWM's (in quadrature) using Analog outputs (arbitary waveform generator) and H-bridge, but I don't know how to accomplish this

Elvis board

Hi, I am using labview and an Elvis board, and my task is to use a push switch on labview to turn on an LED light on the right hand side of the Elvis board. I have the switch on my front panel/block diagram, but have no idea how to wire it so that when I run the VI, I can control the LED's and turn them on and off when I want to. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks.

Hi Nizza52,
Thank-you for your post and welcome to the NI forums.
Looking at the schematic of the Elvis board there are a number of configurable I/O pins called LED 0..7. These pins are directly connected to the LED Array that I assume you are trying to light up.
You should therefore be looking to write the on/off signal to one of the Digital Out lines using the "NI ELVISmx Digital Writer" express VI. This can be found under Functions Palette -> Measurement I/O -> ELVISmx. You can use the express VI to configure what signals you wish to send to what DIO pin. A high signal should obviously be written to the I/O pin which corresponds to the LED you wish to light up.
You can use context help (Ctrl + h) within LabVIEW to find out more about the functions you are using if you require. Let me know if you need any further help!

TS1717 Started a software update this morning which didn't work. Now Itunes will not open at all. I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

Started a Itunes software update this morning which didn't work. Now Itunes will not open at all. I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

There are a couple of options that I know of to fix the issue.
One is listed in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24606478#24606478 - and involves uninstalling iTunes and related components and then re-installing iTunes. You will need to read the instructions in the thread to see the correct uninstall order.
Second option is use System Restore to set your system back to a date prior to the iTunes update. I did this before finding the thread mentioned above.
Not sure exactly what the problem is but I know, after a search, that MSVCR80.dll was indeed already installed on my computer.

No, you should have Restrictions OFF.
Computer's iTunes > Preferences > Parental Preferences > everything should be unchecked.
Are the songs also on computer's iTunes?

I need to setup 7800 Series IP Phones in the CUCM 8.6.2 which by default are not support but will work after install the software. Anyone have document from Cisco as I remember I seen once before.

Hi Ali,
I'll just add this reference to the good tips from my friend Manish (+5)
Support for the 7800 series in CUCM 8.6.2 was first added with this
Device Pack;
Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Device Package 8.6(2)(24104-1)Release Notes
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Package Release 8.6(2)
adds support for the Cisco IP Phones
7821, 7841, and 7861 running SIP firmware release 10.1(1).
The steps are in this doc
http://www.cisco.com/web/software/282074299/107528/cmterm-devicepack-8.6.2.24104-1_Readme.pdf
You might as well install the latest 8.6.2 Device pack
cmterm-devicepack8.6.2.24112-1.cop.sgn
Cheers!

I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket. FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423. They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook. Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of so

I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket. FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423. They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook. Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of something like .mov or mp4. How can I change the extension after the fact and avoid it in the future?

You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.

Which command in the Cisco AP1200 series will you use to broadcast the SSID using VLANs?

Folks,
Which command in the Cisco AP1200 series will you use to broadcast the SSID using VLANs?
Thanks

If you have enabled mbssid, "guest-mode" would be replaced by "mbssid guest-mode" this would also allow multiple ssid's to be broadcast
