VS 2012 Bug? - Driver Package Project does not always use Output Directory -

-

in process of moving driver project wdk8 , visual studio 2012, came across minor issue regarding driver package output directory configuration. fortunately, easy reproduce using standard project templates , these steps:

  1. open vs 2012 , choose new project start page
  2. in "new project" dialog, choose installed | templates | visualc++ | windows driver | networking | filter driver: ndis. change location c:\projects, select "createdirectory solution", , click ok.
  3. in standard toolbar, choose x64 in solution platform dropdown.
  4. in solution explorer, select both projects, right click , choose properties shortcut menu.

  5. choose "all configurations" in configuration drop down, set configuration properties | general | output directory "$(solutiondir)bin\$(platform)\$(configurationname)\" place output in bin subdirectory in solution directory , click ok. @ point, dir \projects\ndislsf1 returns:

          directory of c:\projects\ndislwf1  
    04/25/2013  09:42    <dir>          . 04/25/2013  09:42    <dir>          .. 04/25/2013  09:42    <dir>          ndislwf1 04/25/2013  09:42    <dir>          ndislwf1 package 04/25/2013  09:46        14,811,136 ndislwf1.sdf 04/25/2013  09:42             7,627 ndislwf1.sln                2 file(s)     14,818,763 bytes                4 dir(s)   6,701,723,648 bytes free

  6. now, press f6 build solution

    all far, dir \projects\ndislsf1 shows our bin directory created , further inspection shows output files correctly placed there:

          directory of c:\projects\ndislwf1  
    04/25/2013  09:47    <dir>          . 04/25/2013  09:47    <dir>          .. 04/25/2013  09:47    <dir>          bin 04/25/2013  09:47    <dir>          ndislwf1 04/25/2013  09:47    <dir>          ndislwf1 package 04/25/2013  09:46        14,811,136 ndislwf1.sdf 04/25/2013  09:42             7,627 ndislwf1.sln                2 file(s)     14,818,763 bytes                5 dir(s)   6,695,829,504 bytes free

  7. in standard toolbar, choose "vista release" in solution configurations dropdown , press f6 again build solution

      directory of c:\projects\ndislwf1  04/25/2013  09:51              . 04/25/2013  09:51              .. 04/25/2013  09:47              bin 04/25/2013  09:47              ndislwf1 04/25/2013  09:47              ndislwf1 package 04/25/2013  09:46        14,811,136 ndislwf1.sdf 04/25/2013  09:42             7,627 ndislwf1.sln 04/25/2013  09:51              x64                2 file(s)     14,818,763 bytes                6 dir(s)   6,689,509,376 bytes free

unfortunately, vista release output written x64 instead of bin subdirectory. in fact, other projects' outputs' ignore bin subdirectory , write in x64.

has else experienced problem, , if so, there known workarounds or fixes expected?

i had same issues on most, not all, of build configurations (vista debug win32 came out correctly reason). here's how worked around it/solved it:

  • opened nnn_package.vcxproj file in editor.

  • noticed entry above build configuration (vista|debug|win32) located itself, separated other configuration entries "propertygroup" entry that, amongst other things, set "packagedir"$(outdir)nnn_package"/packagedir"

(replace " less-than/more-than)

  • moved section -after- build configuration entries , saved.

  • reopened solution in vs2012 , packages output correct folder regardless of configuration name , platform.

hope helps.

How to calculate SNR of signals in MATLAB? -

i've encountered simple, yet fundamental problem on calculating snr: there several signals : s1 = original , pure clean signal without noise. n1 = white gaussian noise going added s1. s2 = s1 + n1 (the noisy signal before performing noise-reduction algorithm) s3 = noise-reduced signal (after performing noise reduction algorithm) n2 = s3 - s1 (the amount of noise after performing noise-reduction algorithm) now want compare snr before , after performing noise-reduction algorithm. which signals should consider snr_before!? s1/n1 or s2/n1 ? which signals should consider snr_after!? s3/n1 or s3/n2 ? which commands or functions should use in matlab in order compute snr_before , snr_after? thanks billion putting time on helping me. what know calculating snr before : snrbeforenoise = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( noise .^ 2 ); and snr after : residual_noise = signal - noise_reduced_signal; snr_after = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( residual_noise .^ 2...
