Why does the MSB toggle in serial mode when parity is enabled?

Hello everyone,
I created a small VI to read 1 byte of data across an RS-422 port. The data is then passed via a queue to another VI which displays the byte read.
I have been testing the functionality of the VIs using HyperTerminal, and they seem to be OK when I have the parity in the VI and HT set to 'none'. When I set it to 'odd' or 'even' parity, however, the most significant bit toggles at every send. That is, when I repeatedly hit the spacebar, I get alternating values back of 0x20 and 0xA0.
Does anyone know why it is doing this? I'm assuming it's something simple that I'm just missing, but I cannot figure it out.
I've attached the 2 VI's so that you can try this yourself. (c
reated in LabView 7 Express)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

We routinely see this behavior with hyperterm where the MSB alternates with both built-in and add-in COM ports across different brands of serial hardware. I believe this is a bug in the hyperterm application itself and not related to LabVIEW since we can reproduce it using two hyperterm sessions.

Why does the new Itunes freeze/do nothing when i click on my Ipod touch icon ?

Why does the new Itunes freeze when i click on my Ipod touch icon to manage my content? All buttones, video, tv, info, music, they all do nothing. i was only able to sync by bringing up the old sidebar. Is this a software glitch, or am i missing a step? I just spent two days reorganizing and labeling all my music for the new itunes, and had to restore my ipod so i could upload my new library. i know what is supposed to come up when you click on the music or info tabs, but nothing happens, only the eject button works. whats going on?

The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer with iTunes with the USB connector. iTunes should open and give you instructions as to what to do. Whatyou need to need to do is to restore the iPod via iTunes.

It removes the hairline on the face, when I add more anchor points. Why? And how do I correct it?

Why does the hard drive keep spinning up when in sleep mode?

When my iMac 27" is in sleep mode I have noticed that the hard drive spins up very regularly every 4 or 5 minutes. Also when placed in sleep, the monitor takes about 30 seconds to go black. It also wakes on its own for no apparent reason. No new software has been added, only normal updates, running Lion. Time machine backup is done every couple weeks.

Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
If the problems persist after performing the above read the following.
Open the Terminal app - it is in your Mac's Utilities folder and looks like this
Select the entire line that follows (triple-click to select it), select Edit > Copy, and then Paste it into the Terminal window:
clear; printf '\e[3J' && echo "**** Sleep/Wake events"; egrep -i 'eep\ cau|ake\ rea' /private/var/log/system.log; echo "**** Assertions"; pmset -g assertions
Copy the text of that entire window by selecting Edit > Select All, then Edit > Copy. Paste the text in a reply to this Discussion.

Why need the Lr and Ps serial numbers when the Br not needs?

I bought today CC for photographers (LR, PS, Br). The Br runs fine. But the other two programs want serial numbers. Why?

Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work

Why does the text jump up and down when I'm trying to read or click on something? It's damned annoying. How can I stop it

Home page or email page, the page jumps up and down at random and when I try to click on something I often miss and end up clicking something I don't want. It gets real annoying and I can't find where to stop it. Why did someone think to do this in the first place. I've learned new profanity because of it.

Why does the iMac quit after 90 minuets when listening to iTunes on Apple TV

RSS

I have this same issue, even after new iTunes (12.01.26) and upgrading to Yosemite – iTunes plays nicely for about an hour, then stops and the iMac reverts to the log-in page. Under Energy Saver, Computer Sleep (Never) and Display Sleep (1HR). I have changed the last setting to different times but no joy. Does anyone have a good suggestion for this anomaly?
Found this text in the help file:
Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off
Select this option if you want your display to sleep and your computer to stay awake.
HOWEVER, this option does not show up under the Energy Saver on my iMac (27in. Mid-2011)
Anyone?

Why does the iTunes mac logo keep appearing when my iPad is out of battery and I charge it?

My iPad 3rd generation with iOS 7.1 ran out of battery, so then I plugged it in the socket. After a couple of minutes, it showed me a 30-pin charger icon pointing to the iTunes logo with an arrow! I tryed connecting it to my computer but it gave me this message when I launched iTunes for Windows Vista. iPhone could not be recognized. Then, I thought the wire or something had a problem so I changed it, but the same thing happened! HELP ME!

That screen indicates an ipad in recovery mode and is directing you to connect to a computer as you have done.

Why does the tab order I set change when I enable usage rights?

I am using Adobe Pro 9.1.2 - set the tab order manually in a 4 page document - test everything - works great. Then, I enable usage rights, go back into the document to test, and the tabbing is out of order again. I have done this multiple times and what should have been a simple task is now taking hours to complete. Help!!! This didn't happen until I upgraded to this version.

Helvetica Neu 10 pt is the default text style for Numbers tables.
Setting a different style to one, some, or all cells does not make that different style the 'default.' Here's an example of the effects of three different sets of actions. All cells in the table had been set to display text as Jazz LET, 12 pt. The original content of B3, C3, and D3 was the same as is shown in C4. For each of the cells in row 3, the procedure described below was carried out, then the text shown was typed into the cell.
When you Select a cell, then "Cut" the cell, the cut includes the text AND any style that has been set for that cell, and the cell reverts to the default style. See cell B3 in the example.
If you Select the cell, Copy, then press delete, the text (and style) are copied, the content (text), but not the style, is deleted. See C3.
If you click on the cell to select it, click again to place the insertion point in the cell (to edit the text), then Select the text and press delete (or Cut), then the text is removed from the cell, but the style remains. See D3.

Barry
