• Errors with Global Variables

  For those of you who use global variables in your projects, is there anyone who has encountered the following error, probably after renaming a project?
  
  "ERROR: Variable (the variable name is shown here in parentheses) is not defined."
  
  For each version of the software, I simply rename the project to the new version... e. g, 2.1, 2.2. In point 2.2, I noticed the error above on several pages (had started using a 7 HR with this project). I contacted the HR technical support and they said that something was wrong in my project. I went on the task to access all pages where errors were located, typed a character, deleted, and that fixed the problem. After everything has been fixed, then I renamed the project 2.3 and all of a sudden, I get errors once AGAIN and they are not yet on the same pages as before! I don't know what is happening, but I don't want to waste time every time I have rename the project of a new version.
  
  Any ideas anyone? Is there a better way to make versions than what I'm doing?

  OK, after that I corrected all the errors and renamed my project again, no problem has resurfaced. This leads me to believe that something has happened to the files when a developer and I were moving files in Visual SourceSafe, and I was checking stuff in one place, check in another another location, etc.. By doing all this, something must have happened to the global variables on 116 my 400 + help pages. At least if all goes well it's fixed for good now, because we won't have to move the files, and I always check in/out at the location, new.

• Digital control system, using limits of entry of data with global variables

  Hello!

  I have a Subvi with several digital control sliders. These control framerate, the pixel clock and exposure of a camera and their change in max/min/increment whenever one of them is changed - they are interdependent and get their information from the camera continuously during execution.

  I'm trying to remote control this VI, but during the passage of a value using global variables, it doesn't "stick".

  Example:

  The value for exposure is 237,48 Ms. different values are constrained to the nearest value. So if I pick 240,00 ms at the Subvi, he should know that this is not a valid value and change to Mrs. 237,48.

  But it is not do and I don't know why. When I enter the values manually, it works fine.

  Any suggestions?

  The limits on the controls that apply when their control from the front and is not passing values via the connector pane.

  You should use something like "line and force" within the VI to validate the values are within the range (maybe constrain data or return an error).

• Please help with these variables

  Thanks LucD and RvdNieuwendijk for helping me with the first part of my script, now I'm stuck again.  In most cases, the script works fine, the commented sections (1-3) are what I want to do in the script.  Even if I had two beautiful solutions for my first problem, which was to record the name of the virtual machine and a custom attribute named "assignee" to a variable, I went with the response as provided LucD.  Now, here's my problem.

  I want to save the new variables and then turn around and create a virtual machine with the same name as the variable $_. Name and then complete the custom attribute "assignee" with the variable recorded for the assignee.  What I've done so far was to save the $_.name in a text file, which will then create a virtual machine with the same name as that deleted line 10

  Line 11, I chose to use Stop-VM because the virtual machine will get deleted, so no need to a gradual stop.

  For line 9, I did that just to make me see the name on the screen, which will be removed

  Given that the new variables will have to name the virtual computer, the 10 online list will help me to keep track of all those and then deploy.

  I'll change the script to get data warehouses that have a certain amount of disk space, and I will choose random data warehouses and hosts ESXi Get-random, I'm just trying to get the core of the script works now.

  Sorry, I'm getting long-winded, all I want now is to save the new variables of lines 4-6 in a big variable, or arrray or something and then I want to create a virtual machine with the same name VM and the custom attribute filled with what "assignee".  Thanks for any help.

  # 1. Get the name of the virtual machine and the assignee of the virtual machines to deploy and save those as a variable
  # 2. Remove the existing VM with the same name
  # 3. Use saved data to deploy a new virtual machine with the same name and the assignee who has been registered
  1. $AllVMs = @)
  2 get-file TestDeploy | Get - VM | {foreach}
  3. $assignee = Get-Annotation-entity $_ - CustomAttribute "Assignee" - ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
  4 new-Variable - force - ErrorAction SilentlyContinue-name $_. Name - value (New-Object PSObject-property @ {}
  5 VM = $_.name
  6. the assignee = $assignee. Value
  7. })
  8. $AllVMs += $_. Name
  9 write $_. Name
  10. $AllVMs | Out-file c:\psresults\NewDeploy.txt
  11 if ($_.powerstate - eq "receptor") {stop-VM - VM $_}
  12 if ($_.powerstate - eq "Receptor") {Start-Sleep-3 seconds}
  13 remove-VM - VM $_ - DeletePermanently
  14.}
  15. (type c:\psresults\NewDeploy.txt). Foreach {new-VM-model (Get-"TemplateName") - name $_-location (Get-folder 'TestDeploy')'}
  16 - data store (data center, Get Data Center |) Get - Datastore 'Datastore') Spec - OSCustomizationSpec - VMHost (Get-VMHost 'MyHost')
  17.}

  I found the problem, the script was pouring out the complete variable instead of just the value.

  The line should be like this

    $AllVMs += (Get-Variable -Name $_.Name | Select -ExpandProperty Value)
  

  I've updated the two script above.

• If... Else if statements with global variables

  Hi people!

  I have a picture of a stove that I want to pass on the right sliding just behind the scene and swipe left left off the stage.

  The stove, at the beginning, is at the center of the stage.

  So, I have created 3 intial global variables (I ' ve introduced in the right position in... edgeAction.JS as described in this topic):

  Var Center = true;

  var left = false;

  var right = false;

  And in the stage-> Composition ready, I created 2 functions related to the SwipeRight and SwipeLeft events. I used if... If... statemens to check what position my photo's.

  swipeRight = function() {}

  If (on the left)

  {

  sym.playReverse (1000);

  Var Center = true;

  var left = false;

  var right = false;

  }

  ElseIf (Center)

  {

  SYM. Play ("Right");

  var right = true;

  var left = false;

  Centre var = false;

  }

  else {}

  SYM. Stop();

  }

  }

  swipeLeft = function() {}

  If (in the Center)

  {

  SYM. Play ("left");

  var left = true;

  var right = false;

  Centre var = false;

  }

  ElseIf (right)

  {

  sym.playReverse (3000);

  Var Center = true;

  var left = false;

  var right = false;

  }

  }

  I think I did everything correct, but it does not work!

  Any suggestion?

  You can find the Web release and the project herefile.

  Thank you VERY MUCH in advance for your help!

  Davide

  I think that your statement of global variable is correct, but when you reset the values of the variables by using the var keyword, you are in a different scope.

  So, instead of this:

  swipeRight = function() {}

  If (on the left)

  {

  sym.playReverse (1000);

  Var Center = true;

  var left = false;

  var right = false;

  }

  ...

  Try this:

  swipeRight = function() {}

  If (on the left)

  {

  sym.playReverse (1000);

  Center = true;

  left = false;

  right = false;

  }

  ...

• Need help with choice variables remain in the new session

  I have a set of approx. Flash to the top with several variables. Y at - it a simple action script that will allow the user to maintain their choice after the closure of the .swf and revive it?
  Thanks in advance for your help.

  How do check you if these components have been checked or ticked. in fact, I probably don't want to know that.

  you really recommended to use a listener to detect when your components have changed and then you can use the modified method to define your variables and update your sharedobject.

• Help with the variables!

  First of all, allow me to apologize for my screen name, I tried to 31 different names and none of them would work, pretty bad if you ask me.

  I tried a project for more than a year, who failed miserably after that I have had no help anywhere I asked, but the circumstances are bring me to take over this project.

  To expose my project, this is a great Simulator, created in Excel, and he got several very large databases in this regard. However the most simplest thing; variable, kept me from using flash to complete the project. I don't know how to explain it more simple, that I was just on the sites of more than a dozen on the first page of google that attempt to explain the use of variables and text boxes and none of them worked.

  Let me to you, my problem is that no matter what I try, I have dynamic text boxes that always return a value of NaN. I'll give my method to have an entry box return values for dynamic areas.

  My first step is to have a box of text, with the defined variable such as; rlevel and a dynamic as; text box points. I have a button that applies to text input in the dynamic area.

  It's the actionscript on the button;

  on (release) {}

  =(rlevel-1) points * 4;

  }

  It's pretty basic to start, but no matter the method I tried he always returns NaN. Another alternative, I've tried is defining the dynamic and input areas and other variables and do the math an individual variable;

  Level = x;

  points =(x-1) * 4

  on (release) {}

  bpoints = points;

  }

  Once more, this returns Nan in my box of text dynamic and undefined in my Inbox.

  I'm very fluent with the mathematical formula and I have a lot of additions to make, however as said I can't get beyond the most basic part of my project once more despite the continuation of many tutorials on the subject, that note saying to do exactly what I have made. An example of method as reference is the following;

  founded_date = 2000;

  closing_date = 2003;

  on {(press)

  founded_date closing_date = years_running;

  }

  This is no different that mine, and she always returns NaN. I did successfully a dynamic > entry text box function, just by;

  on (release) {}

  points = level

  }

  and the string level is returned correctly, he simply refuses to do so with a calculation. I'm very lost and confused and do not want to give up my plans once more. Kudo to ANYONE who can explain what is happening. I hope this time someone mind helping me.

  Chances are your first attempt to get a screen name would have stolen, but for some reason, their registration system rejects anything you enter... After some trial and error, I found that you just ignoring the message gets the name you want (unless it's really had).

  For all your troubles go with the textfield, I recommend to avoid the use of the var of the textfields and just manipulate their text property.  Name the instance textfields in the properties panel instead of specifying a var for them.  Let's say you a myPoints name and the other MonNiveau.  Your button code would look like...

  on (release) {}

  myPoints.text = String ((Number (myLevel.text)-1) * 4);

  }

  If AS2 is often very indulgent if you do not throw things like a string or a number, it just helps to ensure that things are designed to work correctly if you use them.  A textfield contains string values, so treat them as numbers, you throw as the Number(), and if the result is assigned to a textfield, casting while he is a String [] is appropriate.

  If you always go to AS3, it's not at all forgiving and textfields var element no longer exists.

• Need help with Bind variable in AF LOV query

  Hello
  
  I have a problem with the binding variable, if I use bind variable in the VO LOV query then my result does not come, if he has do not bind variable it works fine and if I use the variable binding in the LOV search option then it works fine but if I hide the bind variable and set the value in the prepareSesstion AM method the LOV does not return any value. I try to return the values that also all values are also coming, but these values are not the attribute query AF setting.
  
  Query is:
  
  Select substr(d.description,0,40) description
  cm_system_users has
  b cm_user_responsibilities,
  cm_responsibility_processes c,
  cm_processes d
  where a.nt_login =: B_NT_LOGIN
  and a.user_id = b.user_id
  and trunc (sysdate) between b.eff_date and nvl (b.exp_date, sysdate + 1)
  and b.RESPONSIBILITY_ID = c.RESPONSIBILITY_ID
  and c.process_type = d.process_type
  and d.enabled_flag = 'Y' order of d.arguments_flag
  
  FOLLOW the method:
  
  CmProcessViewImpl vo = getCmProcessView();
  String nt_login = getUserPrincipalName();
  vo.setNamedWhereClauseParam ("B_NT_LOGIN", nt_login.toUpperCase ());
  vo.executeQuery ();
  
  Can someone help me with this. It is urgent for me.

  It's a bit underdescribed. IIUC, the purpose of the notice is used as a target for a correct view accessor? (Otherwise, you will have to be more explicit about what you mean by "LOV query".

  If I'm right, there are two possibilities:

  (1) you use an instance of VO in a module shared application instance. If so, make sure that your code is in the prepareSession() for the class of application that module if it is dependent on session (as seems to be below), you must make sure that the module of the application instance is shared in the session scope.
  (2) you have based the view accessor directly on the definition of the VO. This creates an anonymous instance of VO; I don't think there is a way to use prepareSession() to set a variable of liaison on such a forum (which will not be created until the accessor is first used). Pourriez be able to shoot with to put a similar code in the view object create() method class, but I've not tested this.

  If your code is in your module class application primary (as opposed to the class for a shared of AOS instance), the problem here is that getCmProcessView() returns the instance of VO data module of this application instance design-time model, which is never used by accessors of the view.

  Also, why do you need to do this in prepareSession() rather than at the level of the accessor to view? I believe you can get the user name (for the view accessor) with the groovy expression

  viewObject.DBTransaction.session.userPrincipalName

  or maybe just

  DBTransaction.session.userPrincipalName

  (despite this DBTransaction involving, it returns the username web app, not the DB user name).

  It is a declarative 100% solution, if you don't count the Groovy expression as not declarative.

  If you are afraid of a user who is running the LOV (somehow) before the value of the bind variable is preparing, just make sure that the binding variable is marked "required."

• Please help with the variable corresponding full framework

  HI :-), could someone please hepl a beginner?

  I'm writing a small script AS3 in CS4 that allows me to take a step back and forward through an animation.

  I have a stop button a play button rewind button and a button to the front.

  the buttons work ok apart from when I hit the button to rewind sometimes it jumps to the beginning of the timeline rather than just take a step back a frame at a time.

  When I use the button stops the timeline where he is, the rewind button steps back as needed. But if you click on the button rewind everything first, he jumps at the beginning of the timeline, I know the theory as to why I can't get this to work.  I need to know how to increment a variable of integer type (meter) to increment as the playes of animation. that is the counter variable to match the chassis number.  Here is the code I have, someone could please tell me how to match a variable of integer type to the current image and tell me where to insert the line of code on the list. I added a fictitious line or pseudo-device code to show what I'm trying to do, but the syntax is wrong.

  }

  }

  
  function forward through film using the following button. I used a value of 60 because it comes to the amount of images in the scenario

  I don't know if this is a way of doing things or not

• formula with the global variable node

  Hello

  I'm tring using node formula with global variables as an entry and exit.

  but this is where I see the SW hangs forever.

  Either way, I am a novice to the labview.

  Can some give me advice why this is happening?

  Thank you in advance,

  Do

  As smercurio mentioned, if you described what you wanted to do, we could show you things that can be done using LabVIEW.

  For example, loops For may not be not necessary if you are trying to extract or manipulate data in tables.

  It is good that you have a job, but it would be better to learn the power behind LabVIEW.  Who knows, you can actually walk away from C code...

• Combining AIRHelp to help Help Viewer Wizard of RoboHelp 8 does not work.

  I have problems successfully combining

  multiples. Documents in a single file (like RRS AIRHelp

  discussed at the RJ Webinar).

  I hope someone can help me.

  This is the process in which I use:

  1.) released the document as each individual. RHA files.

  2.) create the "combining" document as a file using AIRHelp Help Viewer Wizard of RoboHelp HTML 8.

  (3.) in the same directory the AIRHelp "combining" file, I have create a file called "help.helpcfg" with Notepad

  4.) in "help.helpcfg", I have the following XML:

  < / Summary >

  5.) I install the 'mix' AIRHelp document.

  (6.) in the directory in which the 'mix' document AIRHelp was installed, I put the file 'help.helpcfg '. Note that all documents are on an accessible network location, accessibility between the document "combined" and the individual. RHA files is not a problem.

  Whenever I run the 'mix' AIRHelp document, I get the typical message that it cannot find the main application.

  Could someone help me with what I'm doing wrong?

  I thank very you much in advance!

  Sincerely,.

  Sammy Spencer

  Hi Sammy,.

  Great to hear that help AIR Viewer works for you now. It is important, associated files of helpcfg it to load different help RHA (directories as well) in the same Viewer. Now to distinguish different data from help files, the helpcfg file must provide different ID him. As I see your helpcfg file, there are 2 entries for files RHA, but two of them have same ID, we provide different IDS for different systems to help only then help AIR Viewer will show entries various.

  Please check the URL for more information @ http://help.adobe.com/en_US/RoboHelp/8.0/RoboHTML/WSC6D74158-7BEE-4d0b-BE5A-CDE7709EC109.h tml

• Is it possible to replace occurrences of a global variable massively while also setting up the components of connector?

  I work through some of my old code now, looking to increase the performance where I can. Here's my situation:

  1. I used Global Variables to spread a few constants in my screws, instead of a proper typedefed cluster.

  2. execution does not have an extension, but no matter when I save the project, I would say 50 to 60 percent of the economy/compling time is spent on the screw of 300 or more with global variables. I suspect it has to do with the link between the overhead associated with the global.

  3. Ideally, I would like to replace this:

  

  With something like this:

  

  While also putting the connector of this pane:

  

  To do this:

  

  What is the VI server is capable of? You can assume that the VI in question have very predictable names, matching the regular expression:

  subname[0-9]^3
  

  Is it still worth it to replace?

  I don't know what you mean by compile time.  One of my big projects LabVIEW RT, which has about a thousand of screws, a lot of VIGs (FGVs), engines of the Action, even a few Globals and variable shared.  In my case, the thing that seems to "slow down" the compilation the most is the links to the report generation tool (I use Excel workbooks for 'drive' of experience and also save the data a bit).  If I do a building together, to build this routine and about 6 'support' routines (data analysis, utility Configuration, etc.), it may take a minute, but I can't find this excessive nor a charge (compared to the facility to isolate/encapsulate features in screws as FGVs).  So I guess I don't understand the "real problem"...

• Global Variables are preferable to the Globals functional - so there! :-)

  I feel a little controversial today so forgive the brutal title of this post

  I've never used global variables because I was under the misconception that they are somehow 'bad '. That's all I've heard since I started learning the LabVIEW. Review the code in the nets upconvert and downconvert. The ugliest code uses globals and some of the most beautiful code does not work. This means that bad programmers use global variables and globals are so bad programming practice. This is not true. Globals are just easy to use for newbies to use them. ' Not initialized what? I can't find those on the pallette? »

  I think I always wondered unconsciously that globals are bad. They are not bad, it is their use that may be bad. This is true for anything in life.

  The first and the most obvious problem with global variables is racing conditions. But this is not strictly the overall causing the race condition. This is the data stream is not defined.

  

  But the same is true if functional a global being misused. In the example below there is nothing to enforce data streams.

  

  You must run the data flow with a thread of error for example.

  

  Globals do not have a thread of error but not fear - the man of the sequence is here!

  

  You only need the sequence if the global is directly on your drawing. These two structures of single image sequence could be replaced by a NumericWrite.vi and a NumericRead.vi containing nothing but overall, a command or the indicator respectively and the terminals of the error. Put it online and it is good as gold. Or you might have a Subvi containing nothing but a frame two cases selected by an enumeration containing the elements 'Get' and 'Set '. Now, it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck. Don't you worry by the overhead of the structure of the case either. If the enum is a constant, it will be unfolded.

  Another problem with globals, it's that they are, well, global. Is not different from a functional overall, so it isn't really a problem anyway. Globals and globals functional it is easily taken by placing them in a library and define the scope of the access. Not to mention that libraries give you namespaces and "namespaces are one honking great idea - do several of these!" *

  The real reason to use a global rather than a functional overall is that they are about twice as fast.

  Until this morning I would have recommended to use a more functional global overall. But I changed my mind. Someone can it change back?

• With the help of semaphore with a Global Variable - correct use?

  Hi all

  I looked in the use of global variables and in my case, it seemed with the help of a semaphore is the appropriate solution.

  In my case, I use a global variable to store the State of the system. Asynchronous two with screw environment (same VI) will follow two COM ports to see if they get a ' login:' command prompt. If the COM port is associated with Alpha, Charlie, or Echo, it increments by 1, and if it is associated with the Bravo, Delta, or Foxtrot, is incremented by 2 GV. If the GV is 3, the rest of the code will run. In this case, it must be a port COM A, C or E; the other should be B, D or F.

  A VI parent is called inside a loop. He works for the first loop. He never adds up to 3 on the second loop, however. I can't understand why. Please let me know if my code is a poor use of semaphores, or if there is debugging I can try.

  I'm still relatively new to LV, so I'm sorry if my screws are difficult to read. I created this in LV2011.

  Thanks for any help!

  The output of my time looping (wait GV = 3) goes to the structure of the case on the bottom right (clear SGS, PasswordEntry, etc.), so the GV get indeed consulted by the upper case structure right.

  ??

  Your right upper case structure does not run until your time ends in a loop.  The while loop does not stop until the total is equal to 3.  Where can increment you the world besides structures case you cannot yet?

  Have you tried in your point culminating execution of the VI in order to see how they are actually running?

  Another problem that I see.  Assuming that your first while the loop is going to end.  In the structures of your case, you lock the semaphore.  But you can never unlock the semaphore unless you have the right combination of conditions that allow you to get to the case that unlocks the semaphore.  The conditions are based on data that are read before the start of the case of structure, which means that data will not be read and changed until it all ends.  You have the timeout of your lock semaphore connected on one of the cases, but your semaphore lock can never timeout because you do not have a value on his entry time-out.  I think you have a situation where you can lock a semaphore, then arrive at a situation where you can not unlock, then wind locking up of your cold code.

  I don't really think that you need a semaphore at all.  I think you can protect reading and writing functional your overall using a global variable, i.e. the motor action.  Overall, I think you need to rethink the architecture of your code.
