Hi, I am working on a system that will be upgraded to have Dual-Quad core Xeon processors and I am wondering if Windows XP can support this. Depending on which online resource you read, some say yes, others no. Is there any good reference material out there that discusses Multicore/Multi...

Hi, I am trying to develop code to calculate the Duty Cycle of a temperature sensor output (a square wave) and I wanted to see if anyone has developed a duty cycle counter? My approach has been as follows: 1. initialze two counters to 0 2. look for a rising edge 3. Enter the "upper" count...

Hello, Is there a way to have a playlist of MP3s playing in a shuffle format during a power point presentation (aside from running an MP3 Player separate). I have like 30 slides and 9 songs and I'd like to have the songs randomly playing in the background during the presentation but can not...

Hello, I am working on a project that involves multiple computers, all created in the same manner (i.e. same software, same configurations, etc). The hardware setup is a VME-based single board computer that has 2 Ethernet ports (port 0 a static IP for an internal network, port 1 for a network...

I have tried both Local System Account and the Administrator account. After doing the initial install everything works fine. At somepoint, something is happening when a client establishes/terminates a connection that is causing this error to occur. I can solve the error by uninstalling and...

Hello, I am getting an error when trying to connecto to the Management Console that indicates that I can not connect to the preferred server farm. When I look at the services the IMA servics is not running and when I try to start it, I get the following error: "Windows cannot start the...

Hello, I am running Exceed 10 on a Windows 2003 Server platform and I am having two big problems. The first deals with the way Exceed opens. Most of the time when I open Exceed it opens properly and "Exceed" is displayed in the task bar. However, occasionally when exceed opens, I see "Exceed...

Hello, I created a GUI using Visual C++ (v 6.0) under Windows 2000 that gives the operator the option to shutdown or restart windows. For the shutdown portion I call the function ExitWindowsEx(EWX_SHUTDOWN, 0) and for the restart I call ExitWindowsEx(EWX_REBOOT, 0). This application works...

I am looking for a way to create a one-shot pulse that is generated based on an external input. I want to be able to use an external voltage supply and input pin to generate the pulse, however I need a way to slow down the response of the pulse generator. I am currently using the debounce...

I have an excel workbook using the Solver add-in. In my workbook, I am using solver to optimize a group of cells, however I do not want the user to be able to modify the cells. When I try to lock the sheet and run the solver macro, I get an error saying the sheet is protected therefore...

That is what I figured. I actually just ended up using 0 in the cells that I did not want to use. Although this is not the best approach, it worked in this situation. Thanks For the Help!!

Hello, I am wondering if there is an easy way to use the SUMPRODUCT formula on two tables in which not all the cells contain value (i.e. they should be ignored). For example, I have to tables, each with 10 rows and 4 columns. I would like to use the SUMPRODUCT formula on these tables...

I am keep getting the following error when trying to map my code (I am using Express VHDL on Spartan): ERROR:OldMap:56 - The LOC constraint "P167" (a IOB location) is not valid for IPAD symbol "C85" (pad signal=clock_in), which is being mapped to the following site types...

I am trying to map an INOUT in FPGA Express VHDL and I am getting a: "The pad mapping optimization can not determine the type of pad to insert at the port (FPGA-PADMAP-3)" error. I have not been able to find any information about this error or a work around. Is there a way around...

Thanks for the response. I thought about the counter resetting after I sent the original question, the code that i have been using actually is similiar to the one provided. However, using the declaration: count_hi(3 downto 0) <= current_count(7 downto 4) when run = '1' else (others => '0')...
