• Rocking after close file trigger

  I'm new to Labview. I have an application requires alternating relaxation and ready signal, if a trigger input channel reach a fixed level, trigger will have the value True and ready will be set to False; then the system will record data on disk (in local RT), while loan are set to False, the system does not check the channel level; After registered number of samples, close the file and set loan to True, disable Trigger to False. I use Write to File express VI measure to save data, but I could find a way to toggle ready and trigger.

  Please help me out here. Thank you!

• Writing to the file trigger event time

  I'm new to LabVIEW.  I was changing the acq_graph_voltage_dig.vi I found to trigger recording using a digital triggering with a defined number of pre-trigger and posttrigger samples recorded.  I added screws to open, write and save a file of PDM with these data.  I want to be able to record when the shutter actually, produced as a separate channel or just as a landmark event when the trigger has occurred in the file.  I know that I understand that based on the number of sample pre-trigger, but it is something that I will probably change that I record.  I have only a single trigger per queue.  Someone at - it suggestions on how I could save the instance to trigger?

  Thank you!

  Hi shelby,.

  I guess you want just the timestamp of when the trigger has occurred and then you will write this value to the file. If so, you can change the position of reading for relaxation of reference, read a sample and record the timestamp of this sample at the end of your file. A photo below as well as a version of the VI that you use. I add no IO files in the example as I assume that you already have this understood part. I hope that helps!

  

• Why Adobe's script docs as with Illustrator wave on the open Applescript file?

  Since the script reference to Applescript, to Adobe's Illustrator (I believe is the same for other products too), I see snippets of example code as:

  on openFile (fileToOpen)

  Tell application "Adobe Illustrator"

  activate

  Open fileToOpen POSIX file as an alias with options

  tell the end

  end openFile

  Why does he leave us to understand the value of fileToOpen (String)? Understandable that there's specific Applescript, but it's more work for those of us unfamiliar Applescript to do more research.

  Is 'as alias' really necessary? I have problems with that. Omitting "as alias" gets Applescript error: "Adobe Illustrator has been an error: AppleEvent Manager failed." Keep 'as alias"results error saying that it cannot create alias path, which, for some reason, looks like it's in the Applescript path even if specified as POSIX format (e.g.": ~: Documents: Temp:someFile.ai "instead of" ~ / Documents/Temp/someFile.ai ").

  Tried the simple example

  Open the POSIX file "~ / Documents/Temp/someFile.ai".

  as well as

  the pfile value ' ~ / Documents/Temp/someFile.ai ' as a POSIX file

  Open the pfile no options file

  the value pfilepath ' ~ / Documents/Temp/someFile.ai '

  the pfile POSIX file pfilepath value

  Open the pfile as alias without options

  nothing seems to work so far. Such a pain.

• Writing data to the file trigger

  Hello

  I'm new to Labview and I'm having difficulty trying to make this work correctly.

  What I do is followed the release of a transducer and when it reaches a certain critical value I want to write data to a file.

  I have this part works fine, but I'm currently using a higher vi / equal to check the value against the flow of the instrument, so when the value is less than the critical it to stop recording.  I want to continue to save for a number of minutes after reaching the critical value.

  How can I do this?

  Look at using the Express VI of elapsed time.  So when the condition is met, it triggers the VI and it will keep logging data until the Express VI shows the elapsed time.

• PDF file in Chrome only showing page 1 and do not scroll

  Hello

  I create documents in Indesign, then export as PDF to be placed on the web, but I had problems with the documents the last week or so. specifically, if I create a document A4 landscape, Chrome displays only the first page, it does not scroll.

  Strangely, if I turn the page it "reveals" the rest of the document and then allows me to scroll through it.

  I tried different sizes page and directions and strangely this SINGLE button A4 landscape.

  PDF files display well in all other browsers.

  To eliminate the problems, the same problem occurs when I create a PDF from MS Word (so it is not a question of Indesign)

  and I don't have a problem when I create a PDF using an another PDF maker (so not a problem with Chrome)

  When I inspect the code to get a troublesome PDF, I see there is a div called 'sizer' id which is recognizing only the size of the first page and not the entire document, as it does on a PDF file that appear correctly.

  When I change the size within the div tag, the scroll bar appears, but still only the first page is visible (even if the scroll bar moves).

  I'm not a developer, but perhaps it could be useful for someone who can investigate.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the wonderful world of non Adobe PDF viewers...

  The Chrome browser does not use PDF viewer from Adobe plugin (installed via the free Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat software) more. Chrome developers begins to block access of a certain type (the type among other Adobe PDF viewer uses) plug-ins a few years ago. This means that you're stuck with the built-in Viewer that comes with Chrome. It is a problem of Chrome, even if some PDF files trigger this problem. Because it is the viewer of PDF of Chrome, something that will not is a problem of Chrome.

  The only thing you can do (outside this reporting for developers of Chrome) is to ask your users to not open the PDF in Chrome, but rather download it and then open it with Acrobat or Reader for free.

  There are ways to test if a PDF file is open in a viewer of PDF from Adobe and otherwise displays a page with information about how to open the file in Acrobat or Reader. It is a combination of JavaScript, form fields or PDF layers.

• Treatment of a folder of images with Applescript

  Hello world

  I'm having a problem with my Applescript I want to open a folder of images and processes in PS.

  The script works fine on a single test whose path image file I hard coded to open it, but after the addition of the section in a loop, I'm not sure I have the right to open each image.

  This part of my script is:

  the value sourceFolder to "Users: etc: etc." as alias

  the value destFolder to "/ Users/etc: etc.

  -source files and destination for the images

  say application "Finder" to set imageSet for each file in sourceFolder

  say application "Adobe Photoshop CS6.

  Activate

  set of parameters of the ruler units to pixel units

  Repeat with j’ai of 1 in (County imageSet)

  set currentImg to the point I the imageSet

  Open currentImg

  ....

  (the rest of the code to adjust the images)

  ....

  end repeat

  tell the end

  "The error I get is" Finder has been an error: document file "(filename)" "(folder name) file" (the rest of the path to the file) startup disk does not understand the message 'open'. "when it stops at the command"open currentImg ".

  I was wondering if someone could help me with this? Or offer a code that would work?

  Would be appreciated, because it's the last thing I have to do to complete the script and that the work is completed.

  THX in advance

• FTP adapter limiting polling frequency active time of a day

  Hi all

  Is there anyway that I can limit the polling interval of the FTP adapter to be active for a period of time during the day. Say, my service must query the location entering data of sales order for each hour for the hours of the day.

  Thank you

  AG

  There are 2 ways to do this

  1. create a BPEL program Planner (using quartz) who will write the file trigger in the directory to poll the FTP adapter and the FTP adapter must be enabled on the trigger file.

  2 create a BPM process with Timer start event to write trigger file in the directory to poll the FTP adapter.

• Workaround for calling from InDesign on Mac Acrobat

  With the help of @Test username and @Gilad D, I could get my original problem about 90% fixed.  Now, I need to tie everything together in order to solve this puzzle.  This puzzle called Acrobat from a script on Mac InDesign.

  Windows users have no trouble because BridgeTalk is available for their use, allowing them to call Acrobat directly from InDesign script.  Mac users, on the other hand, have been cheated by Adobe.  BridgeTalk does not work with Acrobat on a Mac.  Unfortunately, where I work, I found myself in the unenviable position to require a script (written in JavaScript/ExtendScript) InDesign to call Acrobat to a simple page of replacement function.  And, of course, our computers here at work are all Macs.

  With the help of the above, I, at least, got most of the way.  I discovered that AppleScript can be used to call Acrobat and do things.  And there is a 'doScript()' JavaScript function, which allows the scripts to another language to be run inside a JavaScript script.  Unfortunately, I ran into a wall when have AppleScript to save a file, but at least I can have call a function of the JavaScript script folder level to take care of her for me, I looked for work.  Yes, you can see the complications here.

  So what must happen, then, is a JavaScript script that calls an AppleScript script which in turn calls another script JavaScript that runs inside Acrobat.  Phew!  Talk about a script-reception!  But I was actually able to make this work!  However, I ran into a little snag.

  You see, I need to pass a variable through each of the three layers of scripts so that it works.  I'll post what I have so far.

  First of all, the top-level script, which runs inside InDesign.  This is just a test script to make sure that it all works before I integrate it with the real InDesign script:

  var fName = "testfile2.pdf";
  var aFName = new Array;
  aFName.push(fName);
  scriptFile = new File ("/apache HD/Users/apache/Documents/unlockCover.applescript");
  app.doScript(scriptFile, ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE, aFName);
  

  Now, the AppleScript file (the middle layer), you can see being referred to above:

  on run argv
            set unlockedFile to item 1 of argv as text
            tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
                      do script ("unlockCover(" & unlockedFile & ");")
            end tell
  end run
  

  
  

  This should, in theory, finally call the last script (low level), which is a JavaScript file saved inside the box at the level of the files for Acrobat, so that it runs automatically as soon as the launch of Acrobat and the function remains in memory to be called at any time:

  var unlockCover = app.trustedFunction(function (fName)
  {
            app.beginPriv();
            var myDoc = app.openDoc("/g/ ArtDept/Product Templates/ ProofCover/proof_cover.pdf");
            myDoc.replacePages(0, "/apache HD/Users/apache/Desktop/Old samples/407471 Folder/407471_cover.pdf", 0, 0);
            myDoc.saveAs("/apache HD/Users/apache/Desktop/" + fName);
            myDoc.closeDoc(true);
            app.endPriv();
  });
  

  There are the real meat of it.  These four lines between "app.beginPriv ();" and "app.endPriv ();" are those that this is all about.  However, I get an error message when I try to run the script at a higher level:

  End of line but found consistent application or review.

  If I send a call to each of you scripting gurus out there, how can I put the last nail in the coffin of this monster and call it a day.  I'm pretty sure 100% that the problem lies in trying to pass the argument ("aFName' in the top-level script) for the intermediate level AppleScript script.  Any ideas?

  Problem solved.

  I played with it a bit more and discovered that it was, indeed, passing the variable of AppleScript script that was the problem.  I used 'on run argv', I read on some site earlier today as the way AppleScript handles the arguments given.  More recently, however, I discovered that JavaScript uses a table defined as 'arguments' whenever AppleScript him passes a variable.  So, on a lark, I decided to try to use 'arguments' the other way ' round (I also had to add an extra set of quotes in the line "do script" AppleScript seems to save strings to variables without them):

  set unlockedFile to item 1 of arguments
  tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
            do script ("unlockCover(\"" & unlockedFile & "\");")
  end tell
  

  And who did!  I can now pass a variable all the way from code JavaScript/ExtendScript InDesign JavaScript Acrobat low-level code top-level!  YAY!

• AppleScript to create the thumbnail of the file selected with hyperlink to the URL of the file

  Hello

  I need an AppleScript script to copy to the Clipboard a thumbnail of a selected file (s. picture 1 below) with a hyperlink to the URL of the selected file.

  I have a script that allows me to get the URL of the file and copy it to the Clipboard. But then I have to paste the URL into my Document, back to the finder, make a screenshot of the thumbnail of the file, paste this screenshot and enter the URL (manually copy) of the file (choose the context menu of the image) (s. image 2 below):

  

  Is there a way to automate this?

  I could do the screenshot manually, this is actually no problem, but then I would need to attribute this screenshot on a Clipboard 1, go back and get the URL of the file and attribute it to Clipboard 2 and then go to my document and paste Clipboard 1 first, chose the menu popup "hyperlink" and the Clipboard paste 2.

  I would be grateful for the help!

  Kai - Uwe

  Kai - Uwe,

  OpenOffice or LibreOffice aren't outwardly scriptable with AppleScript or Automator, as to exclude these two applications that support. They are inwardly Python scriptable via their respective SDK.

  I became aware of a solution of AppleScript that invites for the input file, then uses a custom (port) application that uses QuickLook to generate an image thumbnail jpg to your specified output destination. I added a line of AppleScript that sends the URL of the file to the Clipboard.

  After running the script, I can paste the URL of the document in LibreOffice and follow by drag and drop the jpg thumbnail afterwards.

  

  Do you want me to post the directions for this solution. In its current form, it is not written for processing batch.

• AppleScript to delete a text file

  Hi, here is a job Applescript that lists the contents of a folder and its subfolders to a text file named 'file inventory. The problem, for example, is that if a subfolder is emptied of files, the list of his previous content is always indicated in the text of the inventory of the last time file that the script is run. So, I would delete all of the text in the file until it is written again. I searched and found this code and put my name of file in there, but I can't make it work.

  Any help will be appreciated.

  expressions of folklore ": folder files inventory.txt" value 0

  property file_id: null

  
  

                tell application "Finder" for the value this_folder for folder 'movies' from disk 'files '.

  Try

  write ('Start' & (current date) & back) to file_id

  my do_subfolders (this_folder, "")

  write (back & return) to file_id

  Repeat with this_subfolder in folder_list

  my do_subfolders (this_subfolder, "" & name_prefix)

  end Repeat

  end say

  You are on the right track, but set the folklore expressions takes the file reference that you have already opened, not the path text.

  so, since you open the file via:

  file_id value to open access file log_file_path with write permission

  the appropriate solution would be:

  file_id of the folklore of the value to 0
