  • How to set the timeout of read when using channelReader.ReadWaveform?

    I'm using a USB-6210/a. data acquisition, and it works fine until I have to take a longer than 10 s waveform.

    When I take a longer than wave form, I get the error 200284, "some or all of the requested samples are not yet acquired.  To wait for the samples become available use longer read timeout... »

  • How to set up the default location in FF?

    So whenever I check on the 10 day weather, default FF is a good location about 25 miles away. I don't find a way to set MY real in FF position while he is the default one. We live in the foothills and weather is very different from the other city, which is on its shore.

    Questions about the Forecastfox add-on has been published frequently these last time and since you don't mention Google weather 10 day specifically I guessed wrong - so shoot me.

    That said this page on your site?
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/

    Your IP address is usually used to determine your physical location. If you are in a rural area, it may be shifted many miles depending on your ISP and how well they "report" your location on the network to their service. And it can sometimes be misleading many miles when their network is being upgrades; usually just temporarily.

  • How to set up a rotating banner ad using DWCS4

    I'm new to DW CS4, I think I'm getting the hang of it, but I'm really having a hard time trying to figure out how to do something rather simple and common.

    I have three pictures, all the same size and I would have show them on my homepage one after another in the same location, then repeat. Change to say every 5 seconds and fade out / in as a transition. I searched the web, using DW and have not found the solution. I found a script that toggles the images, but has no effect of transition. I found that I have to use diapers, but they are now called AP div tags, but it is not obvious to me how I stack these DIVs each on the others or how to say DW how long between transitions. If someone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

    On a related note, can anyone suggest a complete reference to DW4, CSS, HTML and JAVA maybe? There are many sources on the web of different utility that climbing the learning curve makes me nuts!

  • How to set http headers when you are using the BridgeTalk HttpConnection object?

    Hello

    I'm doing http post requests from Illustrator ExtendScript (via BridgeTalk) and most of the time it works. However, the documentation on the use of HttpConnection is nonexistent and trying to find a way to set http headers. The HttpConnection object have once requestheaders and responseheaders property so I suspect it's possible.


    By default, post requests are sent with the header Content-Type "text/html", and I would like to replace so that I can use "application/x-www-formulaires-urlencoded" or "multipart/form-data".

    Here's what I have so far:

    var http = function (callback) {}

    var bt = new BridgeTalk();

    BT. Target = "bridge."

    var s = ";

    s += "if (!.). ExternalObject.webaccesslib) {\n";

    s += "ExternalObject.webaccesslib = new ExternalObject ('lib: webaccesslib');" \n » ;

    s += "}\n";

    s += "var html =" "; \n » ;

    s += "http var = new HttpConnection ('http://requestb.in/1mo0r1z1'); \n ";

    s += "http.method = 'POST'; \n » ;

    s += "http.requestheaders ="Content-Type, application/x-www-formulaires-urlencoded,"\n";

    s += "http.request = 'abc = 123 & def = 456'; \n » ;

    s += "var c = 0, t =" "; for (var i in http) {& t = (i +': ' + http [i] +'* '); c ++ ;} t =' FRONT ('+ c +):'+ t;} alert (t); \n » ; Debug: to see what properties and values exist on the http object

    s += "http.response = html; \n » ;

    s += "http.execute (); \n » ;

    s += "http.response; \n";

    s += ' var t =' AFTER:'; for (var i in http) {t += (i +': ' + http [i] +'* ') ;} alert (t);} \n » ; Debug: to see the properties and the values have been set after the execution of

    BT. Body = s;

    bt.onResult = function (evt) {}

    callback (evt);

    };

    bt.onError = function (evt) {}

    callback (evt);

    };

    BT. Send();

    };

    Things to note:

    1. If I try to set the property requestheaders as in my code above, the request fails. If I comment on him, the request succeeds. The default value for requestheaders is not set.

    2 looking at the http after a successful request object, displays the properties of reponseheaders to be on: "KeepAlive, connection, Content-Length, 2, Content-Type, text/html;" "charset = utf-8, Date, Wednesday, June 24, 2015 09:45:40 GMT, server, gunicorn/18.0, sponsored by, https://www.runscope.com, Via, vegur 1.1. Before the query runs, the responseheaders has the value undefined to.


    If someone could help me configure the request (in particular the Content-Type header) headers, I would be eternally grateful!


    Thank you


    UPDATE:

    Using the ExtendScript SDK, I discovered the responseheaders property is an array of this format: ['Connection', 'keep-alive', 'Content-Length', 2, 'Content-Type', ' text/html'...]

    I tried to put the requestheaders for the same format (I've tried both ['Content-Type', "application/x-www-formulaires-urlencoded"] and ['Connection', 'keep-alive', 'Content-Length', 2, 'Content-Type', "application/x-www-formulaires-urlencoded"...]) with no luck



    It solved!

    The key to set the content-type header is set the property http.mime as follows:

    s += "http.mime =" application/x-www-formulaires-urlencoded '; \n » ;

    Also to be complete, you can add your own custom steps headers:

    s += "http.requestheaders = ["My-sample-Header","some value"]; \n » ;

  • How to set up an alert for cpu use > 90% on a processor Intel Pentium 4 cpu solaris box

    I would like to set up an alert to warn me if the CPU usage is greater than 90%. The problem is there are 4 processors. I can create an alert for each of them to the cpu separately, but I would like to
    usr auto-regroupement CPU and have the fire alert if all 4 processors reach a level of 90%. Is it
    what I would do for the cpu monitoring.  I know that in the past our mysql service would get in a loop and use 90% or more of all processors.

    You must use the "CPU usage" metric platform rather every CPU indicator.

  • How can I determine if a virtual server using PowerCLI (powershell)

    Hello

    I'm looking for a way to use PowerCLI to check if a Windows Server is virtual or physical.  What I want to do is the following.  When I apply the patches to Windows I want to run a powershell script to check if the server is virtual or physical.  If the server is a virtual server so I would like to take a snapshot of the server and then apply patches.

    Any help appreciated,

    Dean

    Dean,

    You can use the cmdlet Get - VM PowerCLI to check if the server virtual or physical. If the server is virtual the cmdlet returns an object. If the server is physical the cmdlet will give an error and returns nothing. Something like:

    $vm = Get-VM YourVmName
    If ($vm) {
      New-Snapshot -VM $vm -Name "Before Patch"
    }
