So I have created a huge screen that essentially just shows the robot status for every robot in this factory (individually)… At the very end of the project, they decided they want one object on the screen that blinks if any of the 300 robots fault. I am trying to think of a way to make this work. Maybe a global script of some kind? Problem is, I do not do much scripting in Cimplicity, so any help is appreciated.
All the points that are currently used on this screen (to indicate a fault) have very similar names… as in, the beginning is the same… so I was thinking of a script that could maybe recognize if a bit is high based on PART of it's string name characteristic. The end will change a little each time, but I am sure there is a way to only look for part of a string and negate the rest. If the end has to be hard coded, that's fine.
You can use a Python script in Cimplicity.
I will not go into detail on the use of python in Cimplicity, which is well described in the documentation indicated above.
Here's an example of what can be done... note that I don't have a way to test it and, of course, this will work if the name of your robots in the declaration follows the format Robot_1, Robot_2, Robot_3 ... Robot_10 ... Robot_300 and it also depends on the Name and the Type of the fault variable... as you didn't define it, I imagine it can be an integer, with ZERO indicating no error. But if you use something other than that, you can easily change it.
import cimplicity
(...)
OneRobotWithFault = False
# Here you get the values and check for fault
for i in range(0, 300):
pointName = f'MyFactory.Robot_{i}.FaultCode'
robotFaultCode = cimplicity.point_get(pointName)
if robotFaultCode > 0:
OneRobotWithFault = True
break
# Set the status to the variable "WeHaveRobotWithFault"
cimplicity.point_set("WeHaveRobotWithFault", OneRobotWithFault)

Good day,
I'm trying in AnyLogic to make block "Ped Select Output" (from Pedestrian library) select output based on the received message, using the command in conditions table receive("go");. This block is located in Main, while the message is supposed to be sent from the agent tab (MyAgent) using the command send("go", main.pedSource);. Yet if I try to launch this model I get the error "Type mismatch, cannot convert void to boolean". I believe I have incorrectly selected one of the commands (or maybe both), thus I hope for advice about it. Thanks in advance for the answer.
P.s. check screenshots, for more detailed information.
P.p.s. the model, that is presented on screenshots is just an oversimplified example of the real model (that's why 4 out of 5 outputs of the block are connected to one place).
main
agent
Each condition in the selectoutput should return a boolean... a boolean can be true or false
Some example of booleans are 3==2, 5>4, agent.priority==1, etc
These things are booleand because they are true or false
you are putting in the condition a function that doesn't return anything (receive) and I have absolutely no idea what is in your head that would suggest that this might work in any way...
I suggest you add a variable in your ped agent that defines what the pedestrian should do...
I am using deep speech for speech to text. Up to 0.8.1, when I ran transcriptions like:
byte_encoding = subprocess.check_output(
"deepspeech --model deepspeech-0.8.1-models.pbmm --scorer deepspeech-0.8.1-models.scorer --audio audio/2830-3980-0043.wav", shell=True)
transcription = byte_encoding.decode("utf-8").rstrip("\n")
I would get back results that were pretty good. But since 0.8.2, where the scorer argument was removed, my results are just rife with misspellings that make me think I am now getting a character level model where I used to get a word-level model. The errors are in a direction that looks like the model isn't correctly specified somehow.
Now I when I call:
byte_encoding = subprocess.check_output(
['deepspeech', '--model', 'deepspeech-0.8.2-models.pbmm', '--audio', myfile])
transcription = byte_encoding.decode("utf-8").rstrip("\n")
I now see errors like
endless -> "endules"
service -> "servic"
legacy -> "legaci"
earning -> "erting"
before -> "befir"
I'm not 100% that it is related to removing the scorer from the API, but it is one thing I see changing between releases, and the documentation suggested accuracy improvements in particular.
Short: The scorer matches letter output from the audio to actual words. You shouldn't leave it out.
Long: If you leave out the scorer argument, you won't be able to detect real world sentences as it matches the output from the acoustic model to words and word combinations present in the textual language model that is part of the scorer. And bear in mind that each scorer has specific lm_alpha and lm_beta values that make the search even more accurate.
The 0.8.2 version should be able to take the scorer argument. Otherwise update to 0.9.0, which has it as well. Maybe your environment is changed in a way. I would start in a new dir and venv.
Assuming you are using Python, you could add this to your code:
ds.enableExternalScorer(args.scorer)
ds.setScorerAlphaBeta(args.lm_alpha, args.lm_beta)
And check the example script.
Among many distressing graphics changes to r2014b, the Plot Browser now only displays a certain number of lines per plot (looks like the limit is 50). Any number of plots above this limit are not displayed in the Plot Browser - it just says "and 78 more..."
Is there anyway to remove the limit? I want to see all my lines in the plot browser.
Unfortunately the answer is currenty:
No you cannot remove this limit
This was already reported to mathworks a while ago, and here is the reply:
I am writing in reference to your Technical Support Case #01143663
regarding 'plot browser with "and xxxx more...." indication'.
Really interesting question (and even a bit surprising). Basically
this limitation has been introduced with MATLAB 2014b!
Our developers are aware of that, and they are working to solve it. An
enhancement/bug request has been already submitted, and I am going to
add this case to the list. However, I cannot guarantee you a release
date.
If you think this limitation is crucial for your work, I would
strongly suggest you to contact your account manager, which will have
a bit more influence on the developers than a simple engineer :).
Of course, if there is anything else I can do for you, please let me
know
So it seems that you will have to deal with this limitation if you keep using 2014b.
This was also an issue for me; in particular I wanted to see the DisplayName property of the graphics object in the list. I used a workaround where I created a callback function, so that when clicking on a data point, the DisplayName would be shown. This can be helpful if you have a plot of many lines and want to see the DisplayName of a particular one. You would first need to set the DisplayName property of the graphics objects for this to work, as it's empty by default. You could also use this to show other properties, such as Color or LineStyle, that are shown in the plot browser:
%Based on
%http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/datacursormode.html
%'fig_h' is the figure handle
dcm_obj = datacursormode(fig_h);
set(dcm_obj,'UpdateFcn',#myupdatefcn)
And then include this function as a separate file on the Matlab path, or paste into the function you're currently writing, and include an extra 'end' at the end of that function:
function name = myupdatefcn(empt,event_obj)
% Customizes text of data tips
tar = get(event_obj,'Target');
name = get(tar,'DisplayName');
end
I've been looking throught the documentation, but can't seem to find the bit I want.
I have a for loop and I would like to be able to view every value in the for loop.
for example here is a part of my code:
for d = 1 : nb
%for loop performs blade by blade averaging and produces a column vector
for cc = navg : length(atbmat);
atb2 = (sum(atbmat((cc-(navg-1):cc),d)))/navg;
atbvec2(:,cc) = atb2;
end
%assigns column vector 'atbvec2' to the correct column of the matrix 'atbmat2'
atbmat2(d,1:length(atbvec2)) = atbvec2;
end
I would like to view every value of atb2. I'm a python user(new to MATLAB) and would normally use a simple print statement to find this.
I'm sure there is a way to do it, but I can't quite find how.
Thankyou in advance.
you can use disp in Matlab to print to the screen but you might want to use sprintf first to format it nicely. However for debugging you're better off using a break point and then inspect the variable in the workspace browser graphically. To me, this is one of Matlab's best features.
Have a look at the "Examine Values" section of this article
The simplest way to view it everywhere is to change this line:
atb2 = (sum(atbmat((cc-(navg-1):cc),d)))/navg;
Into this, without semicolon:
atb2 = (sum(atbmat((cc-(navg-1):cc),d)))/navg
That being said, given the nature of your calculation, you could get the information you need as well by simply storing every value of abt2 and observing them afterwards. This may be done in atbmat2 already?
If you want to look at each value at the time it happens, consider setting a breakpoint or conditional breakpoint after the line where abt2 is assigned.
I'm currently working on benchmarking a RESTful service I've made, and part of that is making sure it runs in a reasonable amount of times for a large array of parameters. For example, let's say I have RESTful API of the form some_site.com/item?item_id=y. In that case to be sure my service is working as fast as I'd like it to work, I'd want to try out many values for y one by one, preferably coming from some text file. I can't figure out any way of doing this in ab or httperf. I'm open to using a different benchmarking program if I have, but would prefer something simple and light. What I want to do seems like something pretty standard, so I'm guessing there must already be a program that let's me do it, but an hour or so of googling hasn't gotten me an answer. Ideas?
Answer: Jmeter (which is apparently awesome). This faq explains how to do it. Hopefully this helps someone else, as it took me like a day of searching to figure this out.
I have just had some good experience with using JavaScript (via BSF/Rhino) in JMeter.
I have put one thread group in my test plan and stick a 'Simple Controller' with two elements under it - 'HTTP Request' sampler and 'BSF PreProcessor'.
Set BSF language to 'javascript' and either type the code into the text box or point it to a file (use full path or relative to CWD of JMeter process).
/* Since `Math.random()` gives us float, we use `java.util.Random()`
* see: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Random.html */
var Random = new Packages.java.util.Random();
var min = 10-1;
var max = 2;
var maxLines = (min)+Random.nextInt(max-min);
var s = '';
for (var d = 0; d <= maxLines; d++) {
s += d.toString()+','+Random.nextInt(1000).toString()+'\n';
}
// s => '0,312\n1,104\n2,608\n'
vars.put('PAYLOAD', s);
Now I can refer to ${PAYLOAD} in the HTTP request!
You can generate JSON, but you will need to upgrade jakarta-jmeter-2.5.1/lib/js-1.6R5.jar with the newest version of Rhino to get JSON.stringify and JSON.parse. That worked perfectly for me also, though I thought I'd put a simple example here.
You can use BSF pre-processor for URL params as well, just set another variable with vars.put('X', 'some value') and pass it as ${X} in the request parameter.
This blog post helped quite a bit, by the way.
