I want to use the mmwave demo visualizer for my AWRL6432BOOST. Once I plug in my device and set up the serial ports in the demo visualizer, I see that it connects to 1 out of 2 targets and runs indefinitely. I also dont see the plots in the "Plot" tab. I have configured for flashing and functional mode too. Is there something which I'm missing out on?
The mmWave Demo Visualizer is not currently compatible with the xWRL6432BOOST. Please follow the steps detailed in the Out of Box Demo User Guide, under the section labelled Quickstart for xWRL64xx, to run the demo using the visualizer for this device.
I think the simplest option is to connect to a serial terminal emulator which will allow you to log the stream of UART data (e.g. PuTTY). Once you have that data saved you can run it through a script that you will need to write which parses the TLVs and saves the data in whichever format you wish. For information on the output data from the device please see section 12 of the MotionPresenceDetectionDemo_documentation.pdf located at /docs/. If you are interested in seeing an example of what the parsing script would look like, you can download the SDK for our older generation of devices (mmWave SDK 3.6) which contains a parsing script at /packages/ti/demo/parser_scripts/. Keep in mind these scripts will not work as is due to differences in the TLVs from previous generation devices to this device but it should at least give you the general idea of how it is done.
Alternatively, in the next release of our Radar Toolbox. The python based mmWave Industrial Visualizer will have support for this device. The visualizer will already have the capability of connecting to the device and parsing the data live. The source code for this will be provided as well. You would be able to take that and modify it to simply save the data you are interested once it has been parsed (in txt, csv etc...).
Check the About page in the Vectorworks Cloud Services desktop app, it should be on version 13.4.2742. If not, you should see a button to update. This restarts the app. After this, restart Vectorworks and the AI visualizer should work property.
@TomKen This feature is available with subscription or Vectorworks Service Select licenses. If you are using multiple logins maybe one of the logins is a VSS or subscription license? If not you would need to upgrade to use the feature.
Hello @cberg if the VCS app is shut down during the lifetime of the Vectorworks session you might get issues like that. Does restarting Vectorworks fix it? You can also try right-clicking and choosing the Reload menu item in the palette.
@cberg Next time you can try this, try getting to it from the Model menu AI Visualizer (might have to add to custom workspace, it's under recent changes 2024), there are alerts that will show when Vectorworks thinks certain things are not running or connected.
Ok, I'm jumping through all the hoops. I even realized that I had to add AI to my Workspace, despite the VW site saying it was "automatically adding in SP4." That is not even close to true. OK, so it is now in my menu. I try to use it. It says I have to "Enable this feature with VSS." I have already updated my VCS to 13.4.2742, but now I'm getting this new hoop to jump through called VSS. I clicked my only option: "More Info" which took me to some sort of VSS site which had no information as to how to proceed.
When you guys figure out how to add this feature so that it works in the same way as, say, the rectangle tool, CALL ME. This absurdly useless tool has wasted an hour of my life I will not get back. What a huge disappointment.
@MHBrown Based on your post, it appears that everything is set up for you to begin using this new feature. Please ensure that you are logged into Vectorworks with the license that has Service Select permissions, restart Vectorworks, and give it another try. If you encounter any further issues, let me know jalm...@vectorworks.net, and I'll gladly connect you with one of our Tech Support Specialists for additional troubleshooting. Thanks
Hey folks,
I really love using Postman with the dark theme. I was trying my hand at the visualizer and all I could see in that tab is a black screen, it took a while for me to realize that it was probably because of the dark theme. Once I changed the theme to the lighter one, I could see all the html elements with their expected styles under the visualizer.
I just wanted to discuss about the user experience. Every user who likes using Postman with the dark theme would have to switch to the lighter theme while visualizing. Is it possible to have the visualizer space with a white background?
The Postman Visualizer provides a programmable way to visually represent your request responses. Visualization code added to the Tests for a request will render in the Visualize tab for the response body, alongside the Pretty, Raw, and Preview options.
The Visualizer enables you to present your response data in ways that help to make sense of it. You can use this to model and highlight the information that's relevant to your project, instead of having to read through raw response data. When you share a Postman Collection, other people on your team can also understand your visualizations within the context of each request.
To visualize your response data, add code to the Pre-request or Tests script for the request. The pm.visualizer.set() method will apply your Visualizer code to the data and present it in the Visualize tab when the request runs.
The pm.visualizer.set() method accepts a Handlebars template string as its first parameter. The second parameter is the data you want to use the template to display. Read on to learn how you can build a Handlebars template and pass data to it.
The Visualizer code creates a Handlebars template to render a table displaying the names and email addresses by looping over an array. Handlebars can do this with the #each tag. This script runs in the request Tests:
The variable names inside the double curly braces in the template will be substituted by the data passed to the pm.visualizer.set() method. To apply the template, the following code completes the Tests script:
You can load an external stylesheet using tags in your HTML template code, using the same technique as adding a stylesheet to a web page. You can also add stylesheets as tags. Similarly, you can add interactions using JavaScript code in tags inside your template HTML code.
You can use any of the libraries in the Postman Sandbox to programmatically generate the layout template. To import another external JavaScript library, add the URL to a tag in the template code, just as you would to load JavaScript into an HTML file. This lets you render your request data using the visualization tool of your choice (for example D3.js).
Any elements inside your template can access the data passed in the second argument to pm.visualizer.set() by calling the pm.getData(callback) method. This is only applicable to JavaScript code in the template, for example if your template includes code to render a chart.
The pm.getData(callback) method takes a callback function as its parameter. This callback accepts two parameters: error and data. The second parameter is the data that was passed to pm.visualizer.set().
Not sure how to write a visualization for your request? Ask Postbot! Tell Postbot what you want to do using plain language, and Postman uses artificial intelligence to generate a visualization for you. Use Postbot to create a new visualization, change the type of visualization, fix your existing visualization, and more.
For more examples of Visualizer code in action, add any of the following collections to your workspace by forking the collection. You can also export and then import the collection. After you fork or import the collection, open a request from Collections in the sidebar, then select Send. Postman will display the rendered data in the Visualize tab.
Postman uses the information you pass to pm.visualizer.set() to render an HTML page in the sandbox for the Visualizer. Select the Visualize tab for the rendered HTML page. The layout string is inserted into the of the rendered page, including any JavaScript, CSS, and HTML that the template has.
You can debug a visualization in Postman by right-clicking in the Visualize area and choosing Inspect visualization. This will open the Visualizer Developer Tools attached to the sandbox. You can use it in the same way as debugging a web page.
A while ago I noticed I don't have a magnifying-glass next to my datatables. I used to have it, and somehow, sometime, it disappeared...
Has anyone seen this happen? Do you know how to help me view my datatables again?
Update: I changed to a new computer, and still the same problem. But I pinpointed it to being only in Visual Studio 2005. On Visual Studio 2008 I have perfectly normal DataSet and Datatable visualizers.So I tried re-installing VS2005, to make sure all the components were installed, nothing left out - but Nada. Still no visualizer.
I was really bothered by the problem, so I turned to Microsoft support, and they solved my problem! The short solution is that apparently one of the DLL's in the My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Visualizers folder was corrupted. I deleted all the contents of the folder, and the visualizer came back.
The long answer can be found in this post written by Faruk Celik - the person from Microsoft who solved my problem.
