If your net card driver supports WMI, then you could write an app that gets the WMI data off the card.
Otherwise, you will need to write a protocol driver. Its not too hard. You then write an app which tells the protocol driver which OID to query (all Network card drivers must suport OIDs. OIDs (look in the DDJ for details) return data such as link speed, media state (cable in or out) tx packets etc etc etc.
Your app then displays the data from that OID. (Actually, WMI is just an extension of the OIDs allowing them to be acessed by user mode apps)
Protocol drivers are pretty easy to write, there are samples in the DDK, if not I can send you some code.

A sample application or a code snippet will be of great help to understand the way things have to be approached/implemented.

Google, or even CP, you should be able to find WMI sample code easially enough. If not, then use MSDN.

Hi, if there is anyone here with more than a week's VHDL experience, could you help me by telling me why the code below gives this error:
Error: Can't resolve multiple constant drivers for net y.s1 at Vending.vhd(54)
Here is the process: Both U and O are inputs, STATE is a signal representing the current state of the Finite State Machine.
PROCESS ( U, O)
BEGIN
CASE STATE IS
WHEN S4 =>
IF O = '1' THEN
y <= S5;
END IF;
WHEN S6 =>
IF O = '1' THEN
y <= S7;
ELSIF U = '1' THEN
y <= S8;
END IF;
WHEN OTHERS =>
y <= y;
END CASE ;
END PROCESS ;
Regards

VHDL is plenty mysterious but one of the good people here has taken a look at the code you posted. The only thing obviously wrong with it is that STATE should be in the sensitivity list PROCESS ( U, O, STATE )
That does not account for the error though. You probably need to post at least the code referring to y.s1 to get a better answer.
Apparently your code looks combinatorial rather than clocked. Someone who understands this stuff will likely need to know that for sure to help you.
Sorry that's all I can do, my regular VHDL guru is on holiday for the next 2 weeks.
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

I took it to my lecturer last night and he said that I'm creating an asynchronous STATE MACHINE instead of a synchronous one. Is it really required to have all SIGNALS in the sensitivity list? I noticed the warnings but couldn't understand why you would always want all your SIGNALS in the sensitivity list.
Anyway, my code had another process which was sensitive for 'clock' and 'reset', I pushed all the code from the process in my OP into that process and everything works.

Yes it is absolutely necessary to have all needed signals in the sensitivity list for simulating RTL. They don't have to be there for synthesis though.

Hey
I have a Sony VAIO that came with a 120GB HDD however this has given up the ghost so I have bought a 250GB drive. When I come to install all my Sony software it errors saying it is not the correct hardware setup.
Is there any way of tricking it into beleiving it is the correct system specification or do I need another identical 120GB drive if I wish to continue using my Sony software?
Thanks
Dan

I'm sorry to hear that. I have one too. (It hasn't been all that bad, it's just that I'm so mad at Sony that I won't likely buy anything from them ever again. And I have a ton of Sony stuff. But that's another thread.)
DanB1983 wrote: install all my Sony software
What does that mean, exactly? If you are using a "recovery" CD that came with the machine, I doubt there's much hope. You would really need to trick it, as you said, but I don't know how to do that.
I was able to replace my hard drive with a larger one, but didn't reinstall anything. Rather I copied the old disk contents to the new one. Actually a friend did that part for me, I believe using Norton Ghost or similar. That's probably not an option for you, since it sounds like the HDD failed. Probably the easiest is to buy a 120GB drive and try it with that. If that doesn't work, return the 120 GB drive.
You could also try asking Sony support from the web site. I don't recommend that, however, based on the worthless responses I have received from them.
Sorry to bear such bad news. I wish you luck with this!

Cheers - I tried the ghost thing hoping the 120gb drive would hold out to copy but it wouldnt - all the data is backed up so its not all bad - its just the apps I need - oh well time to get the wallet out for some new software :P

You need a DVD burner that can burn dual layer DVDs. Saying you "have a dvd drive" is beyond pointless when you don't provide additional information regarding its capabilities. Is it just a reader, or is it a burner too? Does it burn dual-layer DVDs? What's the meaning of liquid soap? What's the difference between an orange? If you went into the woods alone and asked the same question but nobody heard you, would you still sound like an idiot?

I want to get the WiFi information (eg. signal strength) from code (eg. C++, C#).
OS may be XP, CE5.0 or above.
I know it can be related to ndisuio.
Where can I get more coding information?
Thanks!

I have a Windows 2000 server with 15 workstations connected to it via a domain. The server has 2 Network cards both Intel Pro 1000 MT Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Onboard. The network speed used to be 1000.0mbps on each card but suddenly fell to 100.0mbps slowing the entire network. What could be the cause and how can it be rectified? The server is a Dell.
|
|

|

One/both of the cards are defective? Have you tried re-booting it? Have you looked at each NICs properties and made sure that the speed is either "auto" or "1gb"?
On-board NICs have always been kind of flaky (regardless of what motherboard you might happen to mention). If it's a Dell, I'd contact their customer disservice department.
For what it's worth, I disable on-board NICs and insert add-on cards. This way, a repair consists of replacing the add-on card instead of completely dismantling the system itself to replace the motherboard. Besides, it's cheaper to maintain a supply of spare NICs than a supply of spare motherboards.

You must have a switch / router in the network, you haven't recently replaced / reconfigured it have you? Have you tried connecting a workstation directly to the server to see what speed you can get?

It's a copper network, right? In that case, check the cabling as well. 1000 Base T uses all four pairs, and if auto-configuration is on, damage to one pair can cause the network to fall back to 100 MBit/s.

Hi,
I'm trying to find a way to access ACPI from within C#.
I want to read thermal zone _TMP property. I've searched the web, and found references to acpi.sys driver. This should be able to get the thermal information, but I can't find a way how to read it.
Does anyone have any experience with accessing ACPI from C#?
Does anyone perhaps know of some API or so to access the ACPI info?
Any help would be appreciated!

I'm also searching how to get CPU's temprature via ACPI.SYS, but there is no documentation at least on MSDN. you can try to read the open source code - Linux 2.6.20 ACPI Driver .

I connected one up last night, for development on a counter sales application for a stationary store. I managed to get it to deliver it's version information to notepad once, and only once, and then it wouldn't do anything more. Is there a basic, default setup that I could use? The manual doesn't include any common scenario help, just how to configure the thing, but I don;t know which configuration to use.

Hello,
Wen I sent data to my µC, It reciefd only 1/2 of my data. Al the communication parameters are goed. I try software flow control but it dont works. Can sombody help my plaese.

Dag Jelle,
tell us some more about your set-up.
I assume you mean SerialPort.Handshake.XOnXOff? This is how I expect it to work:
- communication is enabled by default
- when one side sends XOFF character, the other side should stop transmitting
(but may take a while, say 5 character times, to understand that)
- when one side sends XON character, the other side is allowed to resume transmission
- it works both ways (you can't do different schemes for transmit and receive)
- each side will send XOFF when its transmit buffer is nearly full; on Windows
the serial driver does that automatically, you should not explicitly send XOFF
or XON
- each side will send XON when its transmit buffer has sufficient room
- each side will receive and interpret incoming XON and XOFF according to the
above, the application will never receive them as data
- warning: if you send data (say binary data) that happens to contain bytes
with the same value as XON or XOFF your communication will fail.
Hope this helps.
Groeten.

Hallo,
My setting are,
PortName = "COM6";
hComm = CreateFile( PortName,
GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE ,
0,
0,
OPEN_EXISTING,
0,
0);
if(hComm == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
Application->MessageBoxA("Kan COM Poort niet openen !\n"
"Neem de kabel uit de poort en\n"
"plaats hem vervolgens terug.",
"Error",
MB_OK | MB_ICONSTOP );
Form6->Close();
}
else
{
dcb.DCBlength = sizeof(dcb);
if(!GetCommState(hComm , &dcb))
{
Application->MessageBoxA("Kan Setting COM poort niet lezen !\n",
"Error",
MB_OK | MB_ICONSTOP );
CloseHandle(hComm);
Form6->Close();
}
else
{
dcb.BaudRate = 9600;
dcb.fBinary = TRUE;
dcb.fParity = TRUE;
dcb.fOutxCtsFlow = FALSE;
dcb.fOutxDsrFlow = FALSE;
dcb.fDtrControl = DTR_CONTROL_DISABLE;
dcb.fDsrSensitivity = FALSE;
dcb.fRtsControl = RTS_CONTROL_DISABLE;
dcb.fTXContinueOnXoff = FALSE;
dcb.fOutX = TRUE;
dcb.fInX = TRUE;
dcb.fErrorChar = FALSE;
dcb.XonLim = 20;
dcb.XoffLim = 20;
dcb.ByteSize = 8;
dcb.Parity = NOPARITY;
dcb.StopBits = ONESTOPBIT;
dcb.XonChar = 0xFF;
dcb.XoffChar = 0xFE;
if(!SetCommState(hComm , &dcb))
{
Application->MessageBoxA("Instelling COM poort fout !\n",
"Error",
MB_OK | MB_ICONSTOP );
CloseHandle(hComm);
Form6->Close();
}
}
I dont now of this works, I'm just a beginner.
I onderstand the flow control not so good. Wen the µC send a XOFF charactar, must I read this on my program of read this autometalic the XOFF character. Is my setting good of not good. I don't now.
If you Netherlands, you may me in the Netherlands.
Thanks,
Jelle

Hi Jelle,
your settings seem acceptable, I have a few comments:
- I am not sure what dcb.fParity = TRUE; does when dcb.Parity = NOPARITY;
I would set it false just to make sure no false parity errors can occur
- dcb.XonChar = 0xFF; dcb.XoffChar = 0xFE;
that is a peculiar choice of characters, normally one uses XOFF = 0x13 (CTRL/S)
and XON = 0x11 (CTRL/Q)
your choice could work also, provided the other side uses the same characters !
you said earlier you were receiving half of the characters, care to explain that
a bit?
and what is on the other side of your serial cable?
PS: yes we could have this conversation in Dutch, but the forum police here
does not like us to do that, and other people might be interested too.
groeten
