1/x octave binning

Anyone know of any public domain LabView VIs that do FFT >> 1/x octave
bining? I know of the NI sound toolkit, but my company won't spring for the
cost at this time.
I have written a LV 1/3 octave binner but it is kinda slow (not a LV guru,
that's for sure!) and gives strange outputs periodically.
Looking for better examples and I am NOT concerned with filter shapes, etc.
just need simple bining.
thanks

Hi,
Thank you, Edward, for this piece of code. There aren’t any other open source octave analysis VIs that I am aware of. But if there are any other members of the community that have access to or created other sound and vibration VIs, I would encourage them to post to this forum.
KennyWRX – I did not have any problems opening up Edward’s VI. Could you go into more detail about which specific VIs are missing. Also, what version and package (i.e., base, full, etc.) of LabVIEW did you purchase?

Fractional transfer function

Hello
I am using Frequency response function from sound and vibration toolkit and getting Magnitude, Phase and Linear frequency. I want to do the frequency response function in such a way that I get my results in fractional octave analysis (meaning I want the magnitude, phase averaged for that particular frequency band octave, 1-3 octave).
Again Frequency response function where the frequency scale is not linear but represents 1-3 octave bands and the appropriate values for magnitude and phase.
Any suggestions
Thanks
Ankit

Hello Ankit,
The Sound and Vibration toolkit contains several VIs and examples for performing octave analysis. The manual for this toolkit has several pages of information on octave analysis (start at page 10-1). There are also several shipping examples with the toolkit that provide some great getting started information. From LabVIEW click Help -> Find Examples. This will open the NI Example Finder that locates all of the shipping examples installed on your computer. Follow the path Toolkits and Modules -> Sound and Vibration -> Analyzing and Processing Signals -> Octave Measurements. In this folder there are several examples that use the octave analysis VIs for performing a magnitude measurement.
You can find the VIs used for octave analysis by searching for “octave” from the functions palette or by following the path Addons -> Sound and Vibration -> Octave Analysis in the functions palette. These VIs do not perform a phase measurement for the octave analysis, so it would necessary for you to write your own algorithm to analyze the phase of the octave bins.

You cannot delete a file which which is open. Close the scanner before attempting to delete the file.
when it executes it can't find the file.txt file.why is that?Try checking that txtFile.exists() and txtFile.canRead()
What is the exact exception?

Fractional Octave Analysis

My current application reads from six microphones in a reverb room, averages the signals and reports the data as a single source. In the interest of tonal diagnostics we would like to be able to record data in full and 1/3 octaves at the same time. Since I could not find a single vi in the sound and vibration tool-kit that does this I wrote a quick program that processes the same signal through the SVT Fractional-octave Analysis.vi, one defaulted to read full octave and the other is user selectable but will generally be used to read 1/3 octave. My issue occurs when I go to check the accuracy of the readings, it is my understanding that the log sum of the bands for the 1/3 octave for example should equal the value given for the frequency in the full octave band. So if i look at 50, 63, and 80 in the 1/3 octave band their sum should be the value given at 63 for full octave band. I'm using the equation Lp = 10*log(10^(L1/10)+10^(L2/10).......+10^(Ln/10)). A set of readings I've taken looks like this:
Full Octave
63 - 43.6
1/3 Octave
50 - 37.3
63 - 37.3
80 - 39.4
Lp = 10*log(10^(37.3/10)+10^(37.3/10)+10^(39.4/10))
Lp = 42.9
My calculated value of 42.9 and read value of 43.6 are close but I don't understand why the discrepancy is even there if its off the same signal. Any suggestions? I know this is a fairly long post, thanks in advance.

Hi MeCoOp,
The reason for these discrepancies is because of how octave analysis is implemented. Doing a straight sum of the bins assumes a brick wall filter between the different bands whereas in actuality these filters have skirts. These skirts overlap and to sum up the powers would need to take into account these filter characteristics. Since these skirts level out over an infinite bandwidth, you'll see that the power amongst the whole signal is the same when calculated as either full octave or 1/3 octave.
For more information regarding Octave Analysis and the ANSI/IEC standards, please look at this link.

My ITunes gift card I brought, the Reemdem code had bin wide out so I can no longer see that code what do I do

My ITunes gift card I brought, the Reemdem code had bin wide out so I can no longer see that code what do I do?

"bin wide out"?
If you mean you cannot read the code on the back of the card take it back to the store you purchased it from. If the numbers are not visable because you scratched them out I don't know if the store will replace or refund that. If you can read some of the numbers you could just keep trying a combination of letters and numbers to replace the missing ones. This will take a while depending on how many inputs are missing. You will have to use 0 through 9 and I am guessing A through Z.

I moved itunes file to external hard drive and want to move the file on my pc to recycle bin. When I move i get an error message that it cannot delete ituneshelper.dll access is denied. Can I move that file to the recycle bin?

I am trying to free up space on my pc and moving itunes files to external hard drive. I have followed instructions and believe I have file copied to new drive, but I am having trouble moving file to recycle bin as the instructions say. I am getting the following error message: cannot delete ituneshelper.dll:access denied, make sure disk is not full or write protected and file not in use. I know the file is not in use when trying to move. Any help would be most appreciated. I am on Windows XP.

Yes. And you should not have moved that folder. Put it back. To move your iTunes library move the folder from User's Music.

Can not see all the clips in large Icon view in my bin

I arranged my clips in a bin in large Icon view but i can not see all the clips in the bin while in that mode. I see the clips when in list mode or when i drag them out of the bin into the main bin. As soon I drag them back in large icon view bin they do not show up, when going back in list view they are there.
Any idea
Also my daughter accidently pulled the electrical plug, which turned my external hard drive off. So the media was off line. I hit reconnect the clip but the clip does not show as connected in the bin it keeps the Media offline icon but putting the clip in the viewer or time line it plays it. So the clip is reconnected
hope anybody can help with those two issues thanks

Nick
thanks for your message it helped to show the clips. Here how I solved it. I put the clips i could not see in large Icon view, to the Project folder. Even in the project folder I was only seeing the clips with Thumbnail in list view. When i hit large Icon view the clips disappeared, and they could not have been lower down as i only have about 5 folders in the project. I then clicked arrange the clip by name and they showed up again. Like that i dragged the clip back in to its bin and it showed up. The reason for going back and forth I arranged the clips manually in the bin before and when hitting arrange by name it spread them to far apart and put the clips not in a sequence I liked.
for the second part I followed Neil's suggestion it worked.

Hallo Lukas,
als Erstes vielleicht dieses: Wir hier im Forum sind Anwender wie Du und ich. Nur hin und wieder taucht hier jemand der Adobe Mannschaft auf.
Zum Thema:
So seltsam es erscheinen mag, aber das ist wohl wieder eine Sache für das Cleaner Tool.
Manchmal - aus welchen Gründen auch immer - will" CC (auch bei mir) nicht richtig arbeiten. In diesem Fall solltest Du CC komplett löschen (nicht nur mit PC-Bordmitteln) und neu installieren und zwar mit Hilfe des "Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool".
Ich zitiere: Mit dem Cleaner Tool für Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) können Installationsprobleme bei Adobe Creative Cloud- und Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6)-Anwendungen behoben werden. Das Tool kann Installationsdaten von Prerelease-Installationen von Creative Cloud- und Creative Suite-Anwendungen bereinigen. Es entfernt keine Installationsdaten aus früheren Versionen von Adobe Creative Cloud- oder Creative Suite-Produkten.
Hier der Link: http://helpx.adobe.com/de/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html . Bitte beachte unbedingt die dort vorgeschriebenen Folge der Operationen.
Dann wäre da noch dieser Tipp: Manchmal ist aber auch die (zu löschende) Datei "opm.db" im Adobe OOBE Verzeichnis der Übeltäter.
Falls erforderlich und Du weitere Fragen hast benutze den Chat, wenn er "offen" ist, ich hatte damit gute Erfahrungen. Siehe Contact Customer Care = http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Lock items in a bin

How do I lock items in a bin so that sequences can't be launched, clips cannot be bent, folded or mutilated? Ideally, can I lock a bin up so it can't even be opened? (assistant editor is going to capture a bunch of tapes for me and I want to eliminate risk of anything being disturbed) thanks.

Sorry... sarcasm caused by frustration at my current edit job.
I've never come accross, or heard of any locking feature in the Browser of FCP. I think it would be unneccessary... well, seeing as you brought it up, i can kind of understand why it might be handy for a short-term solution to keeping Bins safe... but...
I think the safest way is as Jim said, just start a new project for the assistant and get all the new tapes captured to it and then copy them over into your master project.
all the best

What is the diffrence between ASCII and BIN mode

Hello All,
What is the diffrence between ASCII and BIN mode
Regards,
Lisa.

'ASC' :
ASCII format. The table is transferred as text. The conversion exits are
carried out. The output format additionally depends on the parameters
CODEPAGE, TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS, and TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS_EOL.
'IBM' :
ASCII format with IBM codepage conversion (DOS). This format correspond
to the 'ASC' format when using target codepage 1103. This codepage is
often used for data exchange by disc.
'DAT' :
Column-by-column transfer. With this format, the data is transferred as
with ASC text. However, no conversion exists are carried out and the
columns are separated by tab characters. This format creates files that
can be uploaded again with gui_upload or ws_upload.
'DBF' :
The data is downloaded in dBase format. Because in this format the file
types of the individual columns are included, import problems, for
example, into Microsoft Excel can be avoided, especially when
interpreting numeric values.
'WK1' :
The data is downloaded in Lotus 1-2-3 format.
'BIN' :
Binary format. The data is transferred in binary format. There is no
formatting and no codepage conversion. The data is interpreted row by
row and not formatted in columns. Specify the length of the data in
parameter BIN_FILESIZE. The table should consist of a column of type X,
because especially in Unicode systems the conversion of structured data
into binary data leads to errors.

In photos: I have tried to select and delete some duplicate pictures that I transferred from my other iPhone 5S on this new iPhone 5S and when I select the only options available is moving the photos or email/text. I cannot put in trash bin

iPhone 5s photos/video,deleting duplicate photos and video transferred from other iPhone 5s & iPhone 4S
I have tried selecting photos and videos to throw them in trash bin, but the trash bin doesn't work when pressing and or clicking on it
I would like to know how to get rid of the unwanted and duplicate pictures that I've transferred from my other iPhones.
If someone could please help me, I would greatly appreciate it !!
Thank you so much,
Ginger

How did you transfer the photos from your other iPhone? If you did it by importing them from the old phone to a computer and then used iTunes to sync them back to the new phone, then you would delete them by syncing again using iTunes but this time change the selection of which photos are to be synced. Each time you sync using iTunes, it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

Using GetResource to get a file from a different folder than bin

Hi guys,
here is the line of code I am working with:
final static URL musicD = Sound.class.getResource("Sound//MusicD.mid")this loads MusicD.mid from the project/bin/Sound folder. However, SVN messes up my bin folder badly, how can I get a resource from the project folder, or better yet project/sound folder as opposed to the bin folder? Thanks!
P.S. I am on a tight deadline, so a straight answer would be very helpful, what I dont need is more smug advice! =) thanks!

Besides, what is your current current directory from where your application is launched? Is it in a jar file?Thanks for the honest help, I really appreciate it! I am working out of eclipse and compiling it there, so it is not yet a jar file. How would you suggest fixing the syntax to work?
P.S.
the directory I am working from is this:
C:\Users\Christian\TCSS 305 Workspace\shielc-tetristhis directory has the src and bin directories, yet I dont know how to get the resources from this directory instead of the bin directory.

Importing swf from bin-release to Flash Professional..

Hello,
I'm trying to take a .swf from the bin-release folder from Flash Builder and import it into Flash Professional CS5 and it doesn't work. Here are the steps I have taken:
I'm using the following simple code in FlashBulder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="
1200" height="450" backgroundColor="
#cc5500"
>
<mx:Canvas color="#ffffff"backgroundColor="
#000000"width="
100%" height="100%"
>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Application>
I create a project (Project->Export Release Build)
I copy the .swf from the bin-release folder to my desktop.
Finally I open Flash Professional CS5 create a new .fla and try to import the swf using File->Import->Import to Stage but nothing happens.
I can import other swfs that I have created from Flash Professional successfully.
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance.

The solutions is to navigate to the Flex Compiler tab
(Project>Properties) and add the
“-use-network=false” argument to the “Additional
compiler arguments” line.

Downloads from Safari going to trash bin

Hello,
Whenever I download files from Safari they go to the Trash bin. It's only with direct downloads using Safari as iTunes and other program downloads/updates go to the appropriate locations. I obviously messed something up (probably deleted some important download files or pathway) and I don't know how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the basic question.
Thank you!

If I want to create a Download folder on the desktop that Safari will download to, I'm thinking I should create it at the Macintosh HD level so that it would be at the same level as the Applications and Documents folders, right?
No. That level is for system-wide folders. There shouldn't be a Documents folder there. Documents should be in your home folder, along with a Downloads folder. If you really want the Downloads folder on the desktop, Command-Option-Drag it there. That will create an alias to it on the desktop but leave the folder in its normal location.
Instead of putting it on the desktop, why not drag it to the dock (to the right of the divider bar) or to the Finder sidebar (lower section)?
