Serial RS232 between existing Instrument and reading software provider
Hello. I have an instrument with software supplier for the acquisition of data from the instrument to a PC through serial RS-232 communication. I would like to acquire data in LabVIEW instead of via the provider software. The seller has given virtually no support to help me find a way to communicate with the instrument - they offer only their software as the only solution.
I'm trying to find a way that I can transfer data with provider software and basically understand the format of the communications and the commands that are required to send to the device. Two things that seem like possibilities are:
(1) use a type of "spyware" or "monitor" for serial ports to capture and display the communications that occur between the instrument and the PC/software.
(2) connect the COM1 port, from my PC (by which the software provider would communicate) to COM1 port on my computer and the insrument for a 3rd COM port on my computure. Use hyperterminal or LabVIEW to read it as the instrument and software try to pass each other by reading iteratively to a port and then in writing as to the other port.
No one has tried this before? Any suggestions on who could work or work better/easier, or any other ideas? I don't even know the port required parameters (baud, etc.), so I need to guess at those if I tried option (2), above. I've never used any software serial port "monitor" before, so I don't really know what to use or else it might work for option (1).
Thank you.

Difference between an instrument and DAQ hardware
Hello
I am very new to Labview and at this time I'm trying to grasp the concepts.
Can someone explain to me what is the difference between a DAQ hardware and an instrument (that we can control).
Also why they are placed in a different section in the palette function (measure I\O and Instrument I\O)?
João
In simple terms, hardware DAQ (measures of e/s) interface with NOR-DAQmx (or other drivers NEITHER as NOR-SCOPE) to measure, while the Instruments are often external to the computer and not rely on a computer to measure and use generally the VISA (or an abstraction of the VISA).

There is a significant price difference between American and Australian from Adobe. For an upgrade, it cost US $ 80 in the United States and 120 AUD in Australia. At present, the AUD is stronger than USD!
I'd be any disadvantage if I chose to download from OUR site?

What is the difference between a version of MAR and the software win7 INKL?

What is the difference between a version of MAR and the software win7 INKL?
Hello
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
- What exactly you're talking about when you say, 'Version INKL of Windows 7?
I'll be happy to answer your query, however, please explain more about abbreviation INKL. There is a version called Office of ink that is used in the Tablet PC.
Here's the other version of Windows, you can make reference to:
MAR - Microsoft Authorized Reacondicionador
A new PC requires a version of windows with a new key license installed if purchased from a manufacturer.
A refurbished PC is allowed to use an existing product key (2nd hand if you like) as long as it is always delivered with a certificate of authenticity (COA). This is referred to as MAR (Microsoft authorized Reacondicionador) which means that Microsoft allows to use existing keys/licenses products.
Buy a version of windows means MAR technically you buy a second hand copy - being however, software, so it comes with COST, will make absolutely no difference at all.
N and KN editions
The features in N and KN Editions are the same full versions of their equivalent, but do not include Windows Media Player or other technologies related to Windows Media, such as Windows Media Center and Windows DVD Maker because of the limits set by the European Union and South Korea, respectively. The cost of n and KN Editions are the same as the full versions, as the Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N and Windows 7 KN can be downloaded for free from Microsoft.

VL builds work with VLK (volume license key). Volume license keys can be used to activate multiple installations of the software without a mechanism (for example, a product activation mechanism) controls the total number of facilities. The license for the software is going to impose restrictions on the use of the key. In general, the license will limit the key to a certain number of facilities which must be only the Organization of the licensee and also to place the holder under the obligation to keep a record of the number of facilities, hold confidential and perhaps even require that the holder organization makes available for a software license check check that his use of the key is in the terms of the license.Please let us know what exactly are you referring to when you say version INKL of Windows 7, so we can further research and answer.
Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

Diffrence between the tablespace is ONLINE and READ WRITE?
Hi all
I'm very confused on the tablespace is ONLINE and READ WRITE?
Some say that if the tablespace is online, this means that its READ WRITE and when its offline then its READ-only.
So, what is the difference between them:
ALTER TABLESPACE offline tablespacename; -> done mean READ only now?
ALTER TABLESPACE tablespacename online; -> is it means its READ WRITE now?
If Yes, then what is the use of the following command if above 2 commands? :
ALTER TABLESPACE tablespacename [READ ONLY |] READING WRITING];
Kind regards
Confused Ritu
In addition, when the tablespace is offline, objects belonging to those who are not available for use to users. You wouldn't be able to query for objects in a tablespace offline.
When the tablespace is read only - no write operation cannot be performed i.e. etc. INSERT/UPDATE/DEL. Oracle says that read-only tablespaces provides a way to protect the historical data so that users cannot modify it. You can drop objects, such as tables or indexes, to a tablespace read-only, but you can't create or modify objects in a tablespace read only
In order to bring a tablespace OFFLINE to ONLINE - so that it is available to users, you must "ALTER TABLESPACE online tablespacename" command. A tablespace online can be READ ONLY or READ WRITE mode.

Sorry to repeat
Everything was fine until my Windows 10, lost the start feature, so I had to go back to Windows 7, in this process, I lost my Adobe Reader software, I tried about ten times with different versions and different locations, all with the same error message that is download "the feature you are trying to use is on an unavailable network resource"... are looking for It seems that it does not find when I search there, and I no longer seem to have the AcroRead.msi... the most difficult file, I try, I get deeper and deeper into things I don't know... I am looking for a simple solution!
When it gets to this point, it is probably better to start from scratch.
First of all, download, install and run Adobe Reader cleaning tool to get rid of all remains little. Here is a link to the tool: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs
Then go to the following link to download the full installer for the reader.
