How to count the number of cycles in sine wave

Hi,
I am new to Labview.  I have labview 8.2 version and my dataacquisition is NIDAQPAD6015.  I could write a program to generate a sine wave of desired frequency through simulate signal. My question is how do i measure the number of cycles for this sine wave as soon as I run the program. Hope my question  is clear.
Ravi Mokirala

To find the offset (which in this case is the Y value midpoint around which the sine wave is symetrical):
Capture more than one cycle.  Find the min and max values.  Subtract Min from Max and divide by 2.  Then subtract this result from the Max value (or add the result to the Min value).  This is the offset.
To count the number of cycles where the offset is unknown, just use the first data point value as a reference.  If the next data point is more positive, then count the number of times that the first data point is repeated and the next data point is more positive.  Of course with DBL data type, you probably would not get the exact same value as the first data point, so you need to use In Range with a very tiny limit.  It all depends on your signal amplitude, frequency, and sampling rate.
Example:  Lets say your first data point value is 0.5 and the 2nd point is 0.55.  You need to look for another value that is between 0.48 and 0.52.  Then read the very next data point value.  If it is greater than the previous value, add one to the cycle count.  If it is less than, you are at half a cycle, do not add to the count.

  • How to count the number of rows in a resultser object?

    hi there
    how to count the number of rows in a resultser object which may contains millions of rows? besides using a while loop? thanks

    You don't, you execute a query whose result is the record count of those records that match the search and then you execute the actual query to create your record set. Typically you do
    select count(id) from YourTable where [filter]
    from the resulting ResultSet do
    int res.getInt(1);
    which gives you the count and then
    select id from YourTable where [filter]
    to produce the actual result set.
    in the second query the id part can be substituted with the actual fields you want.

  • How to count the number of wins?

    I have a tic tac toe simulator that simulates a game of tic tac toe (obviously). I press the 'play' button, and 1 random X and O is placed in 9 of the labels. Then the application says if X or O wins, or if the game was a tie/no winner.  So,
    what I want to do is when I click the 'exit' button, I want a message box telling the user how many times X won, O won, and how many ties there were.  I am not too sure how to count the number of wins.
    -Thanks

    Thanks for the reply.  I could be wrong, but I do not think that is exactly what I am looking for.  Here is the code that I have that determines the winner:
    switch (checkWinner())
    case 'T':
    winnerLabel.Text = "It was a tie!";
    break;
    case 'O':
    winnerLabel.Text = "O Wins!";
    break;
    case 'X':
    winnerLabel.Text = "X Wins!";
    break;
    private char checkWinner()
    char WinnerChar = ' ';
    int winning_line = 0;
    if (GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[1]) && GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[2]))
    WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[0];
    winning_line++;
    if (GameBoardCellChar[3].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[4]) && GameBoardCellChar[3].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[5]))
    WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[3];
    winning_line++;
    if (GameBoardCellChar[6].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[7]) && GameBoardCellChar[6].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[8]))
    WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[6];
    winning_line++;
    if (GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[3]) && GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[6]))
    WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[0];
    winning_line++;
    if (GameBoardCellChar[1].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[4]) && GameBoardCellChar[1].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[7]))
    WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[1];
    winning_line++;
    if (GameBoardCellChar[2].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[5]) && GameBoardCellChar[2].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[8]))
    WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[2];
    winning_line++;
    if (GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[4]) && GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[8]))
    WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[0];
    winning_line++;
    if (GameBoardCellChar[2].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[4]) && GameBoardCellChar[2].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[6]))
    WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[2];
    winning_line++;
    if (winning_line == 0 || winning_line > 1)
    WinnerChar = 'T';
    return WinnerChar;

  • How to improve the number of cycles on my MBA

    What is better to charge you MacbookAir every time you can find power or just when the battery is totally discharged? I need to know how to improve the cycles of my battery

    I would really like to avoid reducing the number of cycles
    Actually... you probably want to reduce the number of cycles, not "avoid" reducing the number of cycles.   As CW mentioned, you probably don't need to worry too much about your cycles and you should just generally use your MacBook Air as you need to.  However, if you want to prolong your battery life, you should run it plugged in the majority of the time.  You should not run the battery all the way down before recharging it again.  It is necessary to do this when calibrating the battery, but this is something which only needs to be done ever few months:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490
    The more you run on battery, the more your cycle count will go up.  In general, going through a cycle  or so a week is a good minimum.  A cycle is a full discharge and then full charge of your battery.  So... if your battery is at 100% and you let it discharge to 0% and then fully charge it back up to 100% again, that would be once cycle.  Likewise, partial discharge & recharges count as partial cycles.  For example, if your battery were at 100% and you let it discharge to 90% and then recharged it back up to 100%, that would be 1/10th of a cycle.  You would need to do that 10 times in order for it to count as one cycle.  So, you can see that you will increase your cycle count much faster the more you allow your system to run on battery before recharging it.
    These are really just general guidelines.  There may be times when you're just not by a power outlet so you have no choice but to run your battery down.  Regularly doing this will shorten the overall life of your battery.  But, once in a while will have little impact. 
    Here are Apple's guidelines for battery care:

    I have a requirement to count the number of TABs in a text file that I am processing (they must equal 75) to ensure that all the fields have been submitted on the file I am reading?
    How do I identify the TABs in a line?
    I have this so far:
             CONCATENATE gv_unix_file gv_lstfiles-name INTO gv_unix_file.
              OPEN DATASET gv_unix_file for INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE.
              IF sy-subrc <> 0 .

  • How to count the number of Rows to be Updated before Update takes place..

    Hi all,
    I have a requirement, where i have to count the number of rows to be updated before updating it. SQL%ROWCOUNT gives the no. of rows updated ( after update takes place). How do i get to know the count of no. of rows to be updated/inserted/ deleted. I was looking for a simple solution, as above SQL%Rowcount. But i couldn't find any. I can use a Function and Return the value which will give me number of rows to be updated, But is there any Simple Logic other than this.. or any count function. Your Help is Appreciated. Thanks!

    If you really want to do this (I have no clue why you would need it), then you can piggy back on any existing pessimistic locking you may already have in place.
    However, it would require two loops through the records of which you want to know the count before you update, and a second pass to update them.
    I would really re-think the need for this, though.

  • How to count the number of 'True' outputs from an 'Equal?' function?

    In my program, I have an 'Equal?' function which returns 'True' whenever x=y. How can I count the number of 'True' and display? I mean, for example, when it say True, the counter should display '1', when it say true next time the counter should display '2', like wise 3, 4.... so on. Can any one help me to do this? Is there any function which conts and display the number of 'true' outcomes?

    Is your event structure in a while loop?  Then that's where the shift register can go.  But for portability a feedback node can be used if the VI is not reentrant.

  • How to count the number of deleted rows processed

    Sybase ASE version: 15.7-SP52
    Hi all,
    I have a delete statement that will potentially delete millions of rows
    DELETE from TAB_A where COL_A='Y'
    The delete is long, at some point I'd like to know how many rows were deleted.
    If I do SELECT COUNT(*) from TAB_A where COL_A='Y', the query should be locked because of the exclusive-lock held by the DELETE in progress.
    If this is the case, how can I actually count the number of rows deleted so far?
    Thanks all
    Simon

    Simon
    For  deleting significant number of rows best practice is to delete rows in small batches of known size (e.g. 10 K) inside a while loop. 
    This keeps transaction log from filling up as well.
    Also between two iterations of delete you can give some wait to make sure that you do not monopolize the server. Sleep could be for a fixed number of seconds (e.g. 5) or for randomized number say from 1 to whatever makes sense.
    Typically "set rowcount " is used to set up the batch size and "waitfor delay" to sleep between iterations.
    Global variable @@rowcount gives yo actual rows deleted. For the last batch this may be lower than the batch size you set up.

    some nice coding here, I'm still amazed with what some people can do with "connect by". But I agree with some statements here that this can take "time", and to be honest, it's funny to see it working, but if you do not have a computer, just a calendar and some paper, would you go for "counting" so there must be a better solution?
    The best working math in here is done by Aketi Jyuuzou, who writes so good English that I wonder why he still insists that he doesn't ;-)
