Why is the typecast function deprecated?

I notice that the typecast function is placed in the Functions palette under 7.x functions.  Why is this?  It seems important enough to include in LabVIEW 8.x.

  • Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

    Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

    For some prerecorded audio files the Transpose slider will not work reliably. I found no clear pattern, when it does and when not.
    If all fails, create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library".
    Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop.
    Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
    You will be able to transpose the sample as described above, like a regular loop.
    For example - a audio file turned into a loop and transposed:

    Why does the InitVXIlibrary function return -32768 ?

    Hello,
    It would be extremely helpful to see a log of what is happening "behind the scenes" with the driver. To do this, you can use a utility called NI-Spy which can be launched from Start >> Programs >> National Instruments >> NI Spy or from the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) utility.
    NI Spy is a Win32 application that monitors, records, and displays National Instruments API calls made by applications. Use NI Spy to quickly locate and analyze any erroneous National Instruments API calls that your application makes, and to verify that the communication with your instrument is correct.
    You can turn the log to file feature on via the Spy >> Options menu in the program. Please attach this log file to this Developer Zone post
    so that we may further help you.

  • Why is the PWDCOMPARE function not supported on an Azure SQL Server 2014 database

    I have tried to publish a database from our local SQL Server to Azure but receive an error saying PWDCOMPARE is not supported with no link to a reason why.
    We are using HASHBYTES function to encrypt passwords in our database and
    PWDCOMPARE to validate them and we currently don't have an alternative (see article: http://sqlity.net/en/2460/sql-password-hash/). The PWDCOMPARE function is referenced by a stored procedure,
    which is what won't publish to Azure.
    It would be useful to know if it will be supported or if we should create a VM instead.
    EDIT: Further Clarified question above, but basically the functions listed are documented in MSDN and there is no mention of them being undocumented unsupported features.
    The error occurs when trying to publish a database to Azure from SQL Server 2014 Management Studio

    Hi,
    I am not an expert to answer this but am trying my best to answer this query.
    Hashes a password and compares the hash to the hash of an existing password. PWDCOMPARE can be used to search for blank SQL Server login passwords or common weak passwords.
    Syntax
    PWDCOMPARE ( 'clear_text_password'
       , password_hash
       [ , version ] )
    Note: This feature will be removed in the next version of Microsoft SQL Server. Do not use this feature in new development work, and modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible.
    I am not sure whether this feature is not available on SQL 2014.
    I think you can solve this issue by using the EXECUTE AS. Add this query into a procedure with EXECUTE AS with the user/login with sufficient permissions on the server.
     Refer to belw link for more details on EXECUTE AS
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188354.aspx
    create
    procedure checkpassword
    @UserName
    SYSNAME
    ,@Password
    VARCHAR(1000)
    WITH
    EXECUTE AS
    '<UserName>'
    as
    select

  • Why is the Restore function in disk utility so slow?

    I am using the Restore functionality in Disk Utility to copy my old 250GB Time Machine disk (which is now full) to a new 1.1TB disk.
    250GB is calculating to take 11 hours to copy. Both disks are connected via FireWire (old one is FireWire 400, new one is FireWire 800).
    If my math is correct, that's only 6.4MB per second.
    Why is it so monumentally slow?

    That's pretty much normal for a FW400 drive.  Restore takes more time that some copy programs because of the file verification it performs.

  • WHY does the radio function rely on a wired headse...

    I know this is a feature common to many phones but I'm sick and %&&(%&% tired of it, and just don't understand why.
    Picking up my Lumia 900 a couple of days ago it simply annoys me that the radio function cannot operate when connected to a BT headset.
    I had a 'tansistor radio' 40yrs ago that did not require an external antenna.
    The internal antennae of such devices are good for WIFI, BT, 3/4G. Just WHY THE HEY can they not be used for FM radio?

    Hi SuperGumby,
    Thanks for posting and welcome to the forum,
    You can use the radio without wired headset. You can find this and much more information here (specifically here);
    To switch between speaker and headset modes
    While playing a station, press and hold the station number.
    Press Switch to speaker or Switch to headset to switch between the two options.
    Hope this helps,
    Kosh

  • Why is the COPY function inactivated

    After working for some time, the COPY function is inactivated
    Is there a max limit to the number of "copy" allowed on Adobe Digital Edition?

    &copy represents the HTML entity © (copyright symbol).
    I don't have much iSQL*Plus experience but I recommend using a variable name that is not an HTML entity.

  • Why does the DLL function executed by call library node fail when the Vi is re-opened?

    Development System
    OS: Windows XP
    LabVIEW: version 10.0
    DLL: Custom 
    Compiler: Visual C++ 6.0
    Function Prototype: __declspec(dllexport) const char * test(void)
    We have developed a DLL for use.  The DLL compiles cleanly.  The DLL includes a function test.  The test function validates the functional capabilities of the DLL.  I have followed the examples online, and I have used the import shared library tool in LabVIEW.  The VIs created use the call library node. 
    When I create a VI calling the test function from the custom DLL using the call library node the VI executes the DLL function test flawlessly.  I close the VI.  When I re-open the VI and run it, I get an error code from the DLL.  However, if I go to the block diagram and set the path for the DLL in the configure call library node again then the VI executes the DLL function test flawlessly again. 
    I have to set the path for the DLL in the configure call library node every time I open the VI.  The examples I downloaded from the community do not require this.  What might the DLL be missing?  What am I missing? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I think it was rather unfair of me to ask for help with my DLL issue without disclosing more detailed information.  As a corrective action, I have attached a zipped file.  The zipped file contains the entire VC++ 6.0 project for compiling the DLL, the DLL, and the VI I have been using to test it. 
    ###NOTE####
     As a prerequisite to compilation and usage of the DLL you'll need to have installed Python 26 on your system.   
    You may obtain the MSI for correct version of Python from the following location:
    http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.6/python-2.6.6.msi
    ###NOTE###
    Thank you very kindly for any assistance offered!
    Thanks,

  • Why does the sum function not work when I try to add a column of decimal numbers?  The value is always returned as 0.  No problem with whole numbers but decimals do not work!

    just bought a MacBook Air and using Numbers to make a spreadsheet for financial purposes.  The sum function is working ok for whole numbers but when I try to sum a column of 2 decimal place numbers the result always comes back as 0.  Can anyone help?

    Hi laura,
    I suspect that your 2 decimal place numbers are formatted as text. Change the format of the column to currency and see it that works.

  • Why is the alarm function disabled when iPhone is switched off ?

    Can anyone explain why iPhone doesn't have this feature ? Most other smartphones do. Many thanks in advance for your replies.

    We cannot explain why the iPhone doesn't have this function, but you should use it as wake up alarm turning on the airplane mode so nobody can bother you with calls or texts during your sleep, and when you wake up and your alarm sounds you could turn off the airplane mode.
