Conversion of a Variant to the path

Hi all

I'm trying to use a configuration file to store my data for parameters. At the moment it's paths and parameters of the port com I thought that it would be preferable return a variant of my VI, but my code below gives this runtime error:

LabVIEW: The variant data type is not compatible with the data type of wired for the input type.

So this means that Labview does not support the variant > path type conversion. I can go back to send data of type string and this conversion to a number or a path in the code calling, but is there a better way to do it?

Thanks for your suggestions (I'm a newbie)

Ray

It should work perfectly.  When you get your config file, you read a string?  If so, that's your problem.  The element must be a path before converting to the Variant.  If your version is based on a string, you will have to convert it to a string, then a path.

  • How can I return the path of a test step VI in LabVIEW?

    I would create a VI that will return all of the VI paths that are associated with the test steps in a TestStand sequence.  How can I return the path of the VI associated with a test step?  Here is a starting point that will return the first step of the sequence.

    You must convert the Module to a LabVIEWModule (use the variant to the data node), then you can use LabVIEWModule.VIPath.  If you use TestStand 2010, you can call LabVIEWModule.GetVIAbsolutePath to find the VI in the case you are calling with a project.

  • Error 91 - try to use the variant of the function of data

    I'm running a problem when you try to use variations in my application. I have a setup of State machine that a State creates a list of tasks (cluster of tables), and then converts it to the Variant. The variant is fed into a shift register that allows me to access the list of tasks of a different State.

    The problem comes when I try to use the variant of the function Data. I right click on the task cluster to create a constant and then wire to the TYPE of the variant of the function Data. I wire the variant of cluster of task to the terminal of the VARIANT. When I run the VI, I get error 91: or the possible reasons: LabVIEW: the variant data type is not compatible with the data type of wired for the input type. ».

    How can I get this error if the type that I have connected to a Terminal TYPE of the Variant Data terminal is a constant created from the exact type created a variant of?

    Section of the machine of the State where I wire the cluster variant:

    Section of the machine of the State where I use the data out of the cluster variant:

    The constant wire to the terminal of data TYPE variant was created from the cluster that is connected to the Variant type data. I don't understand how there is a type mismatch?

    Is there another State between these two?  I notice you have some tunnels 'Use default if unwired' coming out of the structure of your business.  First of all, clear on the tunnels.  Second, in cases where you do not only affect the data, the data directly from the tunnel entrance in the tunnel exit of the wire.  I recommend using the tunnels linked to make it even easier on yourself.

    With the default tunnels being output, your variant coming could really be empty, so the conversion fails.

  • Windows Search find files but the mistakes of some of them, which are open normally when it is accessed to follow the path of the error opening

    My client uses Windows Search to help track the files in a fairly large groups. Indexing and everything seem to work very well, but when the user performs a search, it returns the information that are expected, but when you click on some of the files that it generates this error:

    "Cannot find 'file:///s:/XXXXX/XXXXXX.pdf'. "Make sure that Internet address or pat is correct.

    (where XXXX/XXXX are the path and name, of course. It varies and is not a specific place, or all in the same places is originally the same error)

    Varies depending on the issue and the only consistency I've found is than that error all tend to share the same name of 'Owner' and those who work divides different. Yet once again, the 'owners' vary. When browsing directly on the elements, following the exact path in error, the files open fine. In our case, 's:' is a mapped network share, but which seem to be the question either, as the other files in the search located on the same mapped share and in the same directory path work very well.

    To make it even more confusing, the search of all works perfectly on another computer. All users have the same access right, reading/writing/execution, in the cases in question. The file doesn't seem to be open and in-use by other users.

    The system in question is running Windows XP Professional SP3 and is connected to a domain active directory running Windows Server 2003. We have tried to do, and it did not help.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance for anything that can help you!

  • How to configure we draw like the paths of the race, rather than the default of transparent traces?

    When I move a drawing creation using simple 1 black lines smooth to draw Adobe Illustrator CC, it is expanded or compound paths.  I want to be able to draw the image as a single path only (points in the middle of the race as opposed to control points on both sides of control shape with filling in the middle).  Is this possible?  Or is it possible to convert simple traced complex traces in Illustrator?

    Yes. Sue's right.

    With the help of Illustrator draw give you paths as the form of the task.  If you draw on the same layer, you'll find yourself with forms that are unique, but without the path to the Center.

    It does not appear that Adobe draw currently records the path of the finger/stylus, so any form you create in one movement appears as a single color.  (All by converting some isolated shots that are not recursive might be easy, strokes that create irregular shapes is not)

    OTOH, if you use something like Adobe's sketch, pouvez get you the paths, but in doing so, you can confiscate the brushes that you created in the application.  I have not sat down to figure out how to reproduce these brushes in Illustrator or Photoshop (easier).

    This is an Adobe Sketch illustration, sent to Illustrator and the embarrassing tildes I did to create.

    While you can open the path data by converting it, you can keep a double layer of your works of art first.  The conversion process will replace bitmaps by default brush strokes.

  • How an anchor to use right on the path and not on the point tool? I have

    I'm using version CS 5. I tried, but gives me an error. Is it available on a newer version?

    kisanbhat,

    There are three tools of anchor Point.

    Add the anchor Point should work (only) on the path between the existing Anchor Points. Removal of Point of anchorage and Point Director conversion should work (only) on exoisting Anchor Points.

    Otherwise, something is really wrong.

    The following is a general list of things you can try when the question is not in a specific file (you tried/made some of them already). 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can do that up to 3 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

  • match the keyframes when you paste the path

    Hi all

    I'm trying to figure out how to copy a path (mask) in the thickness of a line.  The race follows the path.

    I have two channels on a single layer. I apply a line on one of the layers by using a path, then move the race via the 'end' stopwatch and use percent complete.

    I have two paths on the layer, they are sequential.

    On a layer above the layer with the strokes and the railways (masks), I have a small blue ball which

    I want to follow the paths that I created and move in harmony with the race.

    I copy the paths of keyframes in the position of the blue ball, but the position of the ball

    does not match the position of the race, at least in terms of timing. I would like the stroke and the ball to move

    at the same speed and position, as the 'balloon' preparing the white race.

    I am confused on how to get this to work - I think it has to do with the keyframe time vs. position keyframes.

    any ideas on that?

    Thank you

    eholz1 (eric)

    Final Cut Pro, Adobe After Effects, Photoshop

    If the timing is your only problem, just open the position property and look at keyframes. There should be a diamond in the form of key at each end with a bunch of small round between the two keyframes. Between the two keyframes are set in cahoots with time. All you have to do is drag the keyframe to the left where it matches the keyframe at the end of your race. Things must match perfectly.

    If you need to vary the speed of the race, you will need to adjust the position of the round little in position keyframes so that they match. This changes the keyframes move you and it takes a bit of trial and error.

  • What is the path for the storage of cookies

    On my computer, I installed WinPatrol and at the end of each browsing session, I used to make use of it's 'see the cookies' the function to remove.

  • document.referrer returns the path of the page

    I have a page that is loaded through apps.facebook.com

    There are two ways that this page is accessible from:
    apps.facebook.com/ProductionPage
    apps.facebook.com/DevelopmentPage
    (Not the URL, just used for example)

    I used document.referrer to determine if the page has been loaded through the path of development and if so load of debug code. Now firefox has been updated document.referrer returns the domain without the path. Is there way or workarounds to get the path of the document.referrer?

    The solution most obvious workaround seems to be to add a parameter to the URL that you use to embed in the page, assuming that FB that allows.

  • Change the path of the files system such as 'Music '.

    There is not a lot of space on the internal hard drive SSD in my Macbook.

    For this purpose, I'd like to keep some data types with a huge volume to another location, for example on an SD card in the slot.

    For example, I want to store my music files on the SD card instead on the internal SSD flash drive.

    Of course, I don't want to see the empty folder "~ / music" in my file structure.

    Question:
    Can I change the path ' ~ / music ' to ' / my-sd-card/Music?

    Thanks for your help.

    If you completely destroy the music folder in your startup volume/users/music folder (or the folder documents) there is a possibility another application can go get it or try to add files to it, then you should try and keep intact even if you do not plan to use or put the files into it.

    You can send a request to look in another folder for music.

    for example my iTunes on my El Capitan boot drive is mapped to watch my music in my folder shared user of Yosemite, and on another mac, it's on an external hard drive in a folder called 'music '.

    So what application do you need to do this in?

    In the case of iTunes, you can redirect the folder from the Advanced section in the iTunes preferences by clicking on 'change... '. "and navigate to the new location.

    record music from my boot drive is intact, but there is no files inside.
