How can I set up a delayed analog trigger on PCI 6115 DAQ

I have an S-Series PCI 6115 DAQ which I’m running with Labview. I’m using it to measure signals from an acoustic emission sensor and two force transducers. I’d like to set up a delayed analog trigger which will start acquisition on all three channels a period of time after a selected channel’s voltage exceeds a threshold.
Currently I’m using the AI Config VI in line with the AI Start VI and AI Read VI to capture data after a analog hardware trigger occurs. A software trigger probably wouldn't work because I have to sample my data at 10MS/sec. My setup works fine for triggering without any delay or skip counts. However, if I set the delay or skip count in the additional trigger parameter field of the AI start VI, there is no effect, and the device still starts capturing data immediately after the trigger is received. What is the cause of this, and how can I get around it?
Also, is it possible to sample the channels of a PCI-6115 DAQ at different rates? Right now, I’m sampling all my channels at 10MS/sec and throwing away data on all channels except one. However, this seems relatively slow and eventually I would like to attempt pseudo-real time control using my data.

rpursley8 is right about needing to get the counters involved if you want a hardware timed delay in your application.
Concerning whether or not you can sample at different rate, check this document out.

  • How can we set a process chain to trigger the nodes w/o manual intervention

    SDNers,
    We have a Master PC which has the loading & activation of some Hierarchies.Wats happening is some of the hier activations are failing (we got track of the root cause as well) and the nodes below are not getting triggered automatically, eventhough they have been designed to get triggered irrespective of success or failure of this hierarchy activation. The chain prompts for the u2018Status change & trigger the following eventsu2019 opo-up and only when it was said u2018yesu2019, the subsequent node gets triggered in the chain. If this manual intervention was not there, the Chain gets struck at the activation node, whic is running in yellow status for long, though a short dump - error has already been thrown.
    My query is how can we set a process chain not to anticipate the manual intervention of chnaging the status & trigger events pop-up

    Hi ravi,
    i'm not sure abt the query but what i got thru ur qustion is u have to automtaically go to the next load/step even the proceess chain fails in the step......
    for that we have the same master meta chains with link of so many local chains...for this even if there are some interventions/fails in between the process chains it never gets stopped....
    it goes to the next step and we'll work, analyse and finish the failed load manually....the next day it'll be
    fine...
    b4 to this make sure that there is no dependency for the previous loads....
    And now the solution i found for this is in the process chain design itself.......
    while giving the links itself we'll be getting the options as status RED,GREEN and RED(or)GREEN.....now if u got for the third option the event goes to the next step even it is unsuceesful....
    rgds,
    nkr.

  • How can I set one loop's frequency as a slave of another loop ?

    I have 2 loops in parallel. The first runs at 500Hz. The AIread controls the frequency. How can I set the second one at 100Hz ? It is very easy to set it with local variable, but really not clean. The second loop must not use the CPU while waiting the next 100Hz tick. Is it possible ? I am trying to use occurrence, but the second loop will always (I think) use CPU while waiting next tick !
    Is it possible to set one loop in one thread and the other one in another thread ? Then set each thread to a CPU (I use a bi-xeon PC)
    Thanks

    One solution is to place a case inside the loop which run at 500 Hz. Put
    your 100Hz code inside the True case. Use the "Quot
    ient & Remainder"
    funtion and the iteration counter to execute the true case every fift
    execution of the 500Hz loop.
    This may not work if the 100Hz code use to much time, it will then delay
    the 500Hz loop.
    I would go for the occurences solution. The wait will use some CPU
    resources while waiting but i don't think that should be any problem (when
    done correctly).

    Hi Diego Victor, thanks for the very quick response. Sorry I am delayed getting back to you.
    This made setting home page was easy.
    I can see from cor-els reply how to make a new tab have the sites I want so am trying that for now but still cannot work out how to make a new tab actually go go www.google.co.uk.
    I could not get there from Victors reply. I went to about:config but it said this could invalidate my warranty so nervous of that.
    Sorry if it is just me being a bit stupid but find technical stuff hard - just ask my boss as I work in IT!!

  • How can I set my WebI filters to Null and not Null

    Folks,
    I have created a report in WebI and now I am to set up some filters as Null and some Not Null.
    How can I set my WebI filters to Null and not Null?
    Regards,
    Bashir Awan

    Hi,
    As you said you could do it at the report level and also at the universe level.
    One more way is to create the filters in the universe levele and add them in thequery filter.
    Ex: in the filter you need to write :
    Column1 is null and and column 2 is not null etc.
    Hope this will help.
    If this did't  solve your problem then please explain it in detail.
    Cheers,

  • How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

    How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

    I learned that the Dock is positioned at the chosen edge of whatever Display is positioned farthest to that side.  E.g. for the Dock to be positioned on the right side of the Cinema Display (instead of the right side of the MacBook), the Cinema Display must be oriented (by dragging) to the right of the MacBook monitor on the "Arrangement" tab of the Displays Preference Panel.

  • I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?

    I think I have it working on my iPhone 5. But, I do not see how I can control the exit point that I would like for the VPN. Are all the exit points shown in the VPN setting now going to work with Open VPN, or do they remain PPTP? If I am reading correctly, they look like they remain PPTP. If I cannot control the exit point for open VPN, which exit point is the default in the profile you provided me?I note that Open VPN Connect does not work with any of the new 64 bit devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the new iPad MIni. Is there any chance that you guys will come up with an update for your app so that open VPN can be made to work on all iOS devices? That would be nice, particularly if the Open VPN Connect app does not give me a choice of exit points.Thanks,
    I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?
    Just a quick note to tell you that Open VPN has updated their app so that it is compatible with 64 bit ARM devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the iPad Mini Retina.That does not resolve the problem of how to easily choose among the various possibilities for the exit server. We need to find an easy way to choose.

    Thank you for trying the new Firefox. I'm sorry that you’re unhappy with the new design.
    I understand your frustration and surprise at the removal of these features but I can't undo these changes. I'm just a support volunteer and I do not work for Mozilla. But you can send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting
    I recommend you try to adjust to 29 and see if you can't make it work for you before you downgrade to a less secure and soon outdated version of Firefox.
    Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:

  • I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but I can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders anywhere, either on my ipad or desktop Mac.  How can I set them up?  They do not show on my MacMail preferences either and I can find no way to add them.

    I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders for each email account anywhere on my iPad or in Mac Mail.   How can I set them up? I can't find anyway to set them up anywhere.  Thanks

    Hello blu monkey,
    I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
    On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
    iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
    On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below.  When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it.  When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

  • How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

    Dear All,
    Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
    i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

    Hi,
    The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
    Please see the API below:
    design
    Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
    alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
    standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
    transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
    Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
    Regards,
    Jaya.

  • How can I set up hotmail in the mail application

    Hi
    How can I set the mail application to include hotmail? I've been able to add it, but it doesn't sync read and unread messages. I know iPhones used to have the same problem, but after iOS5, there was an option to include mail from hotmail. Is there an option to include hotmail now in Mail, as I can't find it.
    Also, as I've just switched from Windows to Mac, is there a button on Mac for home and end like Windows has?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately hotmail requires you to pay a fee to have your e-mail go through a mail application, like Apple Mail. Contact their customer service to see about fees, as well as set up process.
