• Basic questions Profibus

  I have a few basic questions about Profibus. We seek to develop a system that uses this form of communication, but we need a few questions answered in a broad sense, until we can move forward.

  How fast can it reliable to deal with a large amount of data while contained in an executable multithreaded great? Our typical executables are 7 500 KB and must run on a Pentium 4 PC indefinitely without triggering more than 20% CPU. Given this constriant and my general lack of familiarity with the technology / Protocol, how fast can go us? 100ms? 5ms? 1ms?

  Do I need any special software packages? Can I expect
  the developer of the Profibus card to provide the essential in software
  LabVIEW?

  We use LabVIEW 8.2.1; is it reasonable to expect a profibus card manufacturer to get the code for this version of the software, or is it possible that we have to upgrade?

  Hi BobChuck,

  PROFIBUS boards run the Protocol on board, with resulting very low CPU usage. If you buy a Profibus from a seller at random, you should be able to access the Profibus OPC server which should benefit from this provider. In such a scenario, you can expect the flow of data between 10 ms and ms 200 for all data (depending on the amount of data, the baud rate, implementation of the OPC Server and so on).

  With a card Profibus of NOR comes a set of screws that will interface directly to the Board of Directors, leading at the speed of communication much more high. This can be as low as 1 ms for all data, but there still depends on several factors. Still, you should expect a 10 x performance gain using the LabVIEW interface directly from the OPC. In addition these boards can also be used with LabVIEW RealTime.

  For more information, please refer to this tutorial.

• Basic questions about the port of Vsphere mirror

  I set up a lightweight VM that would deal with inter-VM traffic. To do this, I want to activate the duplication of port between virtual machines.

  
  

  I have ESXi 5.5 Update 1 installed, use the Vsphere (no webclient) client. I see no duplication of port capacity on my Vsphere Client

  

  I have some very basic questions:

  (1) all documentation I've read involving 'Port mirror' is done via web Vsphere client. Vsphere is provided with Vcenter (please, correct me if I'm wrong)

  (2) only functions with "Distributed Virtual Switch", not "switch vSphere Standard" port mirroring. How can I activate "Distributed Virtual Switch"? What products can I download/install and try (suppose I go to the user a license for 60 days)

  (3) exist what API to enable/disable/setup Port mirroring?

  (1) all documentation I've read involving 'Port mirror' is done via web Vsphere client. Vsphere is provided with Vcenter (please, correct me if I'm wrong)

  Because the mirror of port requires a distributed switch, you will need to vCenter Server and once in vCenter Server, you can the vSphere Web Client of the user or the vSphere Client (c# version).

  (2) only functions with "Distributed Virtual Switch", not "switch vSphere Standard" port mirroring. How can I activate "Distributed Virtual Switch"? What products can I download/install and try (suppose I go to the user a license for 60 days)

  You can download the server vCenter Server (60 day trial) and you'll have an Enterprise Plus version for your ESXi host vSphere.

  (3) exist what API to enable/disable/setup Port mirroring?

• Basic question on the configuration of the OVD

  Hi gurus
  I have a basic question about the configuration of the TPM. I have all the "employees" in Active Directory and 'Employees + external users' in OID. The employee user password is maintained in AD, while the same for the external user is maintained in OID.
  
  Query:
  I need to configure authentication for an application for the employees present in the AD and present external users in OID. I have to join the profiles of employees present in AD and OID. Even if the employees are present in the OID, I don't want to configure for authentication of the OAM.
  
  How can I implement this using OAM and OVD.

  I got your condition.

  You said that OID contains external users as well as employees. You manage a container separated for employees in OID. If so, you job would be easy. If there is no container separated for employees on the OID and storing all users (employees and external users) in the same container (default: cn = Users, dc = xxx, dc is com) then you can get the list of AD users only with the following ldapsearch command:

  ldapsearch h Pei d 'cn = sleep '' w sub s b '' 'objectclass = user' SamAccountName

  Create three adapters OVD:

  1 adapter used (this should point to Active Directory)

  2. users adapter (when creating this, you have to exclude users AD, just similar to find the above option).

  3 create the adapter to store as the clubs above two adapters.

  Now, OAM should talk to store adapter.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you

• Entities does not Contribution - very basic question

  Hi guys,.
  
  My apologies for this very basic question: I am very new to Hyperion, with just one week of training! Anyway, I'm building a basic model and have noticed that my features are not in the dimension value roll altogether the [Contribution]. This means that entities do not roll upwards!
  
  It was suggested that problem was that I needed a Sub consolidate in the rules, but I put the attribute 'ConsolidationRules' = n. In the documentation it is defined as "N to use the consolidation by default and eliminations".
  
  I was wondering is there anything else that is needed to use default groups, or do I need to create rules?
  
  Thank you
  G

  Why do you think that's not driving? If your building rules are set to "n" you don't need rules.

  Make sure that your presentation was made to IsConsoldiate. Make sure that you're displaying a "Parent.Child" to total Contribution.

• Basic question Oracle BI

  I have a request of presentation of Oracle, where there are answers, dashboards etc etc already set and I can visualize coorectly in the current state.
  What I need now is to migrate to another server of BI.
  I don't think it's enough to migrate the RPD file, update the tnsnames.ora and everything will be OKto. What should I do? What is the fundamental role of the RPD file?
  
  Sorry for the basic question, but I'm a newbie
  
  Thank you

  Jin
  You must migrate the RPD file and the catalog web and update the nqsconfig.ini and instanceconfig.ini accordingly.

• Basic question - graphic legends in the heads side

  Hey,.

  Hooray, my company eventually got Framemaker, and I am now in charge of the control of FM and fall all our old content FM. I'll use it to create our manual of the product.

  Anyway, what I do is align text in the heads side with graphs in the main text column. As follows, from the old manual:

  

  So far, I tried to create a paragraph tag that sets the text in the head to one side. It works, but I can't align the text of the head to one side with the chart. (The paragraph Designer options seem to allow only aligning the text side-head with other paragraphs, no graphics).

  So, given that our manual is full of graphs that need aligned beside text, what is the best approach?

  
  Thank you very much. I know it's a very basic question.

  Ian

  A fairly standard practice with framework is to create a paragraph tag that is used only as a part of positioning to hang frames anchored (with images) and tables. The font size is usually set to something like 2 or 4 points, so that it fits in the documents without adding white space. And he never actually wears text.

  So if you create an anchor tag and anchor your chart it, you should have a tag to align a sidehead against.

  However, if it was me, I probably hang a picture two-column a row of my anchor tag and the graphics of the pop in a cell and a legend in the second.

  See you soon,.

• Basic question on circles

  Im sorry new to this, so it will probably be a really basic question.  So, I designed a few Web pages and the opinions they do not adapt to different resolutions.  Now, I have been in charge of the search and code search and just can't quite figure out how to get the bottom to adjust.  If someone could help me that would be great!

  Background images are static unless you repeat them or add you a solid behind color to fill the empty spaces.

  CSS:

  / * with background color * /.

  Body {background: url #CCC (some - bg.jpg) non-repetition}

  or

  / * Repeat image * /.

  Body {background: url repeating (some - bg.jpg)}

• Basic question on the client connection to the Fund with several oracle instance

  Oracle 11:
  
  I have just a basic question about how doing listener/customer determine how oracle instance to connect to:
  
  1 tnsnames.ora and listener defines the configuration of the host and the port is that how he comes to know? I'm just trying to understand if the request comes to the listener how listener knows what Oracle instance to route traffic to?
  
  2. when I do sqlplus / as sysdba how knows what Oracle instance to connect to?

  Look at the differences

• LabVIEW Basic Questions

  Hello

  I have 2 Questions:

  I want to draw a few plots like this: http://elektroniktutor.de/bauteilkunde/bt_pict/trkennl.gif

  now all my parcels have the X in the right position. Can I turn to the left?

  If I cancel the side looks ok but the legend of the X X won't (because its negative results).

  I have haave seen OR often in the programs that they have a stop and run button.

  How can I implement this?

  the program runs all the time... with start I start the task and with stop I complete the task (but the program will still work)

  I have only yfound the Funcction 'Stop' but it cancel the entire session.

  Hey crossrulz beat me to it.

  Back to posters questions.  Yes, do not what you code does.  Try what I've attached.  It is your program with some improvements.  I think that the feature must be the same.  Just click Run once.  Then, when you want to run, click on the Start button.  To stop click the stop key once again, or if the condition is met that normally would stop the VI arrives, it stops on its own.  Also, to stop the application click on the close button (the X red) as a normal program.  Of course if a test runs that the judgment will be ignored until the test ends.  You can add your own test button to give up if you wish.

  Any other general comments.  Do not use the dynamic data types, do not use screw express and DAQ Assistant.  Do not make the block diagram have to scroll in more than one direction.  Do not run continuously.  Do not use the button of toolbar to Abort VI or primitive.

• A few questions about LabView and (fairly complicated) thermocouples

  Hello, I intend to read [this is only 16] 20 thermocouples (type K - in data acquisition, assistant it is J but it will change soon). I use two devices, usb-6008 and usb 6251. I had a BT program (see table below) and I have some questions/statements that need to be confirmed:

  1. I plugged my devices, put DAQ Assistant on the Panel, the temperature chose->-> K thermocouples and I scored channels by dragging a slider 'clicked' on all channels. So now I'm able to read all channels, right?

  2. I have added a few thermometers and digital indicators with them to have an accurate reading of thermometers in digital data.

  3. I've read a few articles on tracing multi channels on a single diagram of wave and I want to apply to my program. Basically, I don't know how to run, I need to make a table and plug it on the graph of the wave. The thing is, I don't know how to do it.

  4. I would get 1 sample per second 1, I added the delay time = 1000ms. Unfortunately, DAQ Assistant says it works like 1 k samples by 1 Hz.

  I am quite fresh in LabView and currently I view tutorials and other things. I would be grateful for advice.

  BTW, I can't test if it works with thermocouples connected because I don't have at the moment and the place where I would be able to test the program has very limited access

  
  

• File reading in Matlab, LabVIEW 2012

  Hello

  I am very new to LabVIEW and this could be a very simple question.

  I'm reading a simple labview .vi file in Matlab. I use the version of LabVIEW 2012 32 bit. I saved a file .vi and tried to load it into Matlab as mentioned inof LabVIEW in the MATLAB® environmentsection of http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/2f8ed0f588e06be1862565a90066e9ba?Open Document. But I can't load the data. Maybe I am doing it the wrong way.

  In  Section Of LabVIEW in the MATLAB® environment , I do not understand what is meant by ""write into the file of worksheet VI on the programming "' e/s filespalette. '"

  Can someone explain to me how to do this? I'm just trying to read any exmple saved in LabVIEW in Matlab. If anyone can give another example, which would also help a lot.

  Thanking you.

  INDI

  INDI,

  I think that your problem may be to understand the terminology.  .Vi files are LabVIEW programs, not data. Those who cannot be "read" by MATLAB.

  Writing in the worksheet File.vi is a VI that comes with LV on the palette file. It can be used in your program to write data to a file text delimited by tabs. These files can be read by MATLAB.

  What it the way which operate you: generate the data you want to save in your LabVIEW VI in the form of a table of numbers. Wire of this array of numbers to Scripture in the File.vi worksheet at the time where you want to save the data. If you do not connect a path at the entrance to the path of the file, a dialog box appears asking where to save the data.

• USB-6501 - impossible to find a basic example of Labview

  Hello

  I recently bought a USB-6501 card and I used it in my own succesfully end and C++ programs using the DAQmx drivers.

  Then I tried to move to Labview 2009 (I never used Labview) so I looked for a simple example.

  I tried to boot from the example 'interactive Control Panel' (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/AF0F31EE5D2AD23F862573140009D7C2?OpenDocument).

  I had to install the 'DAQmx Base' for him to start, as described in the previous link. now it begins (before Labview attempted to get a few missing .vi) but I get a message "error 200220 occurred at an unidentified locatio.

  Then I realized this example is 'old' (as explained here: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=209247), and it is suggested to look for a new one in example Finder ' entry-level equipment / output-> DAQmx-> Digital measurement (or generation)-> read Dig Port.VI.

  I tried, but along the way ' entry-level equipment / output-> DAQmx-> "only a folder named"Analog Measurement\Voltage"exists.

  Also in the search for 'Reading dig Port.VI' does not work.

  I've already spent many hours in this research and tent and the fact that I am not able to find not even a basic example, it is quite frustrating and it is making me give up the idea of using Labview.

  Please can anyone give me any suggestions where find/download an example simple and minimum to use my USB6501 in Labview 2009?

  Thank you

  Scipione.

  First, install DAQmx Base was a mistake. Uninstall it and then install the Driver-OR-DAQmx. The driver must be installed after the installation of LabVIEW. After installation, make sure that the device is listed in MAX under "DAQmx devices. If it is not, your installation is still not correct.

  To search for example LabVIEW, see help > find examples. Under Input and Output hardware > DAQmx, you will find the digital generation and numerical measures. You have to look at the simple, timed software examples such as read write dig Chan, writing Port to dig, dig chan, reading Dig Port. You also have the option to use the DAQ Assistant.

• Some basic questions on TestStand

  Hello

  I'm new on the test stand and I just finished my first sequence. I have some questions on how to do better.

  My sequence steps about 100 it is running. One of the steps that happen quite frequently is a break so that the previous output VI can take effect. Right now I use a VI with one that takes an integer as an input and makes a break during this time. Is there a more elegant way to do it?

  VI another I use saves some data and runs all the 6 step or so. The only difference between each execution is a setting of path for the filling of journal to be issued. I wish that the sequence to be as clean and well placed as possible. Is there a clever way to short-circuit the number of steps down?

  Basically, it seems that you have basically 3 things that could potentially happen: travel, Journal, break sensor.

  So why not create a data type for every thing.  For example, your MoveSensor data type would be a container that looks like this:

  MoveSensor

  Boolean SensorFlag

  Digital NewPosition

  Digital CurrentPosition

  etc...

  Your Log data type would look like this:

  Boolean LogFlag

  String FilePath

  Digital time

  etc...

  Your break would be just a number (PauseTime)

  Then, you bring a container with each type of data into it.  And then do a table of these containers.

  Now by using the ForEach flow control step type, you can iterate through the table.  The pseudo code would look like this:

  ForEach item in my table

  If CurrentElement.MoveSensor.SensorFlag is true

  MoveSensor to CurrentElement.MoveSensor.NewPosition

  CurrentElement.MoveSensor.CurrentPosition is equal to the new position

  If LogFlag is true

  Log LogPath (maybe the loop on that for a certain period of time)

  Wait (CurrentElement.PauseTime) set to 0 if you do not need to take a break

  End ForEach

  This way you would add just the elements in the table.  You can also write the array a property object (read about those in the help) file and the test, just read in a different property object file that would fill your table with different values in function.

  Hope this helps some,
