Use to write key VI with a table of cluster

Hello

I wanted to use an array of clusters to define certain configuration settings for an application. Unfortunately, 'Write key VI' does not support the type of cluster. Has anyone modified this function ('write key VI') in support of cluster and cluster table? Otherwise, no idea to keep it as simple as possible?

My clusters include boolean, path, U32 and string.

Thank you

Olivier

FYI, I have eventually save the cluster as a binary ("Write to binary function') file and a VI to read/write it. Is the easiest way for me as the other functions seem to have a limit on the complexity of the clusters they can handle.

Thnaks for your suggestions,

Olivier

  • Use the product key OEM with Windows Vista fresh install

    Hello. I got my Acer Aspire 5517 laptop for my birthday a few years ago (with Vista pre-installed). A genuine OEM product key is located at the bottom of the laptop. How can I use it with a new installation? Or can I somehow get an ISO or CD OEM Microsoft's file, or download it online somehow? Please don't tell me to upgrade to Windows 7, as I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend right now. Thank you!

  • The BackBerry not used 10 signing keys? With the help of PhoneGap

    Hi BlackBerry and the community, assistance

    I got the following when asking tests regarding an earlier version released on the app store:

    'Correct. You can download the file on the supplier portal and keep in draft mode and then add BBID peoples to the sandbox and then they can download via BB world. »

    So I tried it and when you transfer the .bar at the store he sas what follows:

    "Bar is not signed RDK bar isn't signed AUTHOR this bar contains unsigned entries that did not check integrity."

    I'm sure I know what the question - I have not idea where set them (when built with PhoneGap desktop) what keys to sign with...

    Thus, for example, this is the command I use to generate the output;

    ./Cordova/Build qnx release k

    Then, to give some info, I followed the guide of BlackBerry and produced three files: author.p12, barsigner.csk and barsigner.db.

    Here's my question correctly formatted.

    The query:

    from ehgeoconstru  ec 
    where ec.TYPE='BAR'  
    AND ( ec.birthDate <= TO_DATE('2009-10-06 11:52:12', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') )

    Same query, but with an extra where clause:

    and  ( (ec.contextVersion = 'REALWORLD')     --- ADDED HERE

    Although your optimizer_mode is choosing, it seems that there are no statistics collected on ehgeoconstru. The absence of estimated costs and estimated row counts of each of the stages of the plan and the "Note: optimization based on rules" at the end of these two plans would tend to confirm this.

    Optimizer_mode choose means that if statistics are collected then it will use the CBO, but if no statistic is present in any of the tables in the query, the optimizer to rule will be used. The RBO tends to be happy in the best of the index case. I guess the index ehgeoconstru_VSN contextversion as the main column and also includes the date of birth.

    You can either gather statistics on the table (if all other tables have statistics) using dbms_stats.gather_table_stats, or suggest the query to use a full scan instead of index. Another solution would be to apply a function or an operation against the contextversion to prevent the use of the index. something like this:

    SELECT COUNT(*)
    FROM ehgeoconstru  ec
    WHERE ec.type='BAR' and
          ec.contextVersion||'' = 'REALWORLD'
          ec.birthDate <= TO_DATE('2009-10-06 11:52:12', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') and
          deathdate is null and
          SUBSTR(ec.strgfd, 1, LENGTH('[CIMText')) <> '[CIMText'
    

    or maybe UPPER (ec.contextVersion) so that would not change the rows returned.

  • Not reformatted, no installation disc used but old key.

    Recently, I replaced my hard drive and had to reinstall Windows.  I pulled the old product key from the registry and used on the new facility.  I don't have the disc that came with my laptop for installation, so I took the disc I bought to my Tower and allows to install windows on my new drive and used the product key provided with the version preinstalled windows came with my laptop.  Now, I get messages saying that I have to get a 'real' windows...  The two versions of windows were family premium 64-bit.  Is this being fixed?  How can I get windows using the key, that I got with my laptop and without having to buy a whole new operating system?

    Hello

    When you reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive the way you do that you use the product key located on the COA sticker on the underside of the laptop.

    If it is not there, look for it in the battery compartment.

    This is what it looks like:

  • Table of Cluster size cluster controller?

    I often use the table VI of Cluster to change quickly to a data table in a cluster of data I can then connect to a waveform graph.  Sometimes, the number of parcels can be different which translates (full of zeros) additional plots on the chart, or missing parcels if the array is larger than the current cluster size.  I know that I can right-click on the node and manually set the size of cluster (up to 256).  I could also use a structure dealing with several table of Cluster nodes that I need, set them individually and a table of wire to the switch structure size case but this is the kind of a PITA.

    My question is if someone knows a way to control the size of cluster programmatically value.  It seems that if I do a right click and do it manually there must be a way to automate it, but I of course can't understand.  Would be nice if you can just wire your right desired value in an optional entry on the node itself.  Any ideas would be very appreciated.

    I feel that it is impossible.  See this idea of related discussion.

  • I installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM and the product key does not work, how to fix this? I use the same product key supplied with the computer originally.

    I bought a Dell Precision T3400 of Dell Financial Services and it came with Vista Business installed.  I installed a new hard drive and installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM by using the recovery disk that came with the computer, and the product key does not work for activation.  I get a message that says I need to activate Windows, but he says that the product key is not valid.  How can I fix it?

    Thank you

    If you have reinstalled the OEM of Vista Business copy on the new hard drive, as Bill says you can't also use it in a virtual machine.

    You can only reuse your OEM of Vista professional copy if it is no longer used on the computer. Do you have what operating system installed on the new hard drive? It was an upgrade copy or complete the license?

    If you used a license to upgrade to another edition of Windows to replace your copy of company then Vista Business license is still in use (for upgrade) and you cannot reuse it in your virtual machine.

    However if you replaced Vista business with a copy of the full license of another edition then you are able to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine, but only on the same computer. You must use the product key from COA to the label on the computer. The product key is put in the copy OEM cannot find the SLIC table on the host motherboard. You must use the phone activation from within the virtual machine. Click on start in Vista Business and typing "slui 4. Do not meet the audio guests until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent. Explain that you have completely replaced the OEM copy with a copy of the full license of the new windows and now want to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine on the same computer. Agent will then give you the activation string. Remember that the virtual machine is not transferable to any other computer.

    Hello

    On a Tecra R850, I can't use the FN key. I installed all the drivers for toshiba and they does'nt work

    Help

    Thank you

    Hello

    All this is a bit complicated with WXP and it is important to install everything in the right installation order. After some base such as chipset, display and sound drivers you need to install the common modules at the beginning and continue with Toshiba-specific tools and utilities like controls, screen, energy saving and so on.

    You can use a combination of FN keys or none of them does not work?

    I have a disc of "Window7 Holiday Home Edition". I got it on my laptop. But the broken laptop. Can I put on my laptop, using the "Product Key" that used it on the laptop.

    Sorry, but there is no such thing as «Window7 Holiday Home Edition»  This is the ultimate. Home Basic or Home Premium.

    He intervenes, it it is preinstalled on your laptop and the laptop died, the license to use, he died with him. It cannot be moved to another computer.

    Preloaded is an OEM version and the biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is that its license it permanently binds to the computer first it is installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold, or given to outside (except with the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

  • Can I use a product key Vista Business OEM with retail Vista Business install disc on the original OEM computer?

    In fact, I have two questions:

    [1] my niece has a HP laptop with a sticker of the OEM Vista Business product key on the bottom. She has no HP restore disks or something like that. The computer was demoted in XP and now there is something wrong and Windows fails to start (goes to blank blue screen with the mouse pointer, no further). According to the test material, the hard drive still works. I have a retail copy of Vista Business. Can I use its product key with my Vista disks professional retail to install Vista on her computer? It is the key to correct OEM, original to this computer product.

    If the #1 answer is Yes, is [2] possible to install without erasing its hard drive? Maybe by making an upgrade? She has files out there that are not backed up - mainly music and Word documents. Can I somehow save them because I install Vista?

    No, this is not possible. I guess that you don't really want
    "retired", and that XP has been installed clean.

    and now there is something wrong and that Windows will not start

    Something new, or it never does to start XP?

    (empty blue screen with the mouse pointer, not go further). According to the test material, the hard drive still works. I have a retail copy of Vista Business.

    No. an OEM product key does not work with a retail CD. The CD and the
    product key must match with respect to retail vs OEM, complete vs.
    Upgrade and family or professional.

    If the #1 answer is Yes, is [2] possible to install without erasing its hard drive? Maybe by making an upgrade? She has files out there that are not backed up - mainly music and Word documents. Can I somehow save them because I install Vista?

    Whatever you do, you must first copy the Word documents and music
    files from external media: CD, DVD, USB keys, eternal hard drive
    etc. Even if could do an upgrade (which you do not have a key for) you
    should do it because there is always a risk of losing everything.
