6110 navagator no good in australia

the nokia 6110 navagator comes pre installed with very outdated maps , they claim they are 2006 which i doubt. Even so we are almost in 2008 and there is no sign not even a glimmer of hope for new maps. *We have all be sucked in* and left holding a useless gps. If the maps are old its out with the old trusty UBD which i tend to use more and more often making the nokia a complete joke.

You are correct that GPS network covers the globe, but I think that you will find the Assisted GPS feature which requires a network connection is not functioning; without this feature and relying entirely upon Integrated GPS it can take anything up to 20 minutes outside to get that first positional fix again in different part of the world.
More information on Positional methods here:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/n86-8mp/how-to/maps/use-gps
You don't say whether "roaming" or using local SIM but may have to re-define access point for positional server to get Assisted GPS working.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

Try this... Go to Navigator > Options > Settings > Units > Select Metric. It worked on mine !!

We have a PCI-6110S to run our VIs. But, we are planing to buy another card (PCI-6024E) to run real time PID vi. So, if they are installed at the same computer, would it be a problem for LabVIEW to run both of them at the same time.

We have PCI-6110 S series installed in our computer. We are planing to purchase PCI-6024 E series card. They will be both installed at the same computer.
1) I am wondering if we run both of them at the same time, would we have any problem?
2) To run PID real time, can any E series of PCI card be used?
Thanks...

Hello Baho,
1) Using Traditional NI-DAQ, there could be problems with the fact that the NI-DAQ driver is not multi-threaded; meaning that while waiting for one operation to complete, the driver could cause another operation to time out. On the other hand, DAQmx is multi-threaded, and would eliminate this problem. At the time of this writing though, DAQmx does not yet support simultaneous-sampling boards like the PCI-6110S. A good solution then would be to use Traditional DAQ for the 6110S and DAQmx for the E-series board, and they would by default run in separate threads.
2) No, using a PCI E-Series board, the LabVIEW VI would have to run in a Windows OS and would not be Real Time or run deterministically. You can run the PID program in Windows, but the
results could be inconsistent. The advantage of a Real Time is that the OS is deterministic or that the OS allows you to tightly control or determine the maximum time any function takes to operate. This kind of control of the maximum operation time is not possible with non-Real Time OSs such as Windows.
If you would like to get set up with a Real Time System, I suggest you contact your Technical Sales Representative.

«A Nightmare called 6210 Navigator» - Part II / Ex...

In the post - «A Nightmare called Nokia 6210 Navigator» - I explained my disappointment with this new navigator model, specially for people, like me, who own and intensively used the «6110» before.
In all fairness to all of you - Nokia included - I found I should explain myself better.
I have both 'Navigator Phones' - 6110 (with firmware 6.01) & 6210 (with Firmware 3.08, updated first to 3.25 and now to 4.13, if I remember correctly) - have returned the first 6210 and will return again this second unit, mainly because of its lousy sound and 'bluetooth' crackles every time I got Map/Road directions... From which you hear the last words - only - most of the time and what makes this phone useless as a ('voiced') navigation tool.
Maybe the navigation function/program is not supposed to be the main phone feature any more, because Nokia is also using one bad/cheap loudspeaker in the 6210, while the 6110 had two good ones that worked fine against the engine/road/car noise...
My second 6210 surely confirms this is the case, as by now I know that my first (6210) returned unit was clearly not a defective one in terms of 'sound/bluetooth' capabilities - I returned it to the shop during my legal 30 day return period - because for what sound is concerned, this second unit confirms it: The phone is just like that - scrappy!
There are, however, other major problems to be concerned about...
The 'voice command dedicated button' was also removed - this function is now available through the upper right button - making it impossible to use (activating 'bluetooth', for instance) if you are inside any phone application (Maps 2.0, included)!
Has anybody tried a prototype before the phone release? Has anybody used a 6110 Navigator before? I guess not!
This is even more stupid/cumbersome, as for instance, the lower left button is free for this action (keep it pushed for more than 1 second) and would be a much more clever (and logical) solution...
It seems developers either don't waist much time balancing their solutions or haven't thought about it at all! (At least, this can be fixed by remapping the button in a further firmware update, although I doubt they care - or will, eventually, do it...)
IMO, the above described hardware shortcomings, alone, are enough to rule out this phone as a (Car/Driving) navigator unit, and no software or firmware update/release is going to (or can) alter this fact.
If you need to stay with Nokia, the (two years) 'old' «6110 Navigator», is undoubtedly a much better and user friendly 'Phone Navigation' unit - with or without Nokia's Maps application!
If you want to know a little more about other 6210's "Shortcomings & Problems', please do read further...
Maybe releasing a new model every year doesn't give them much time to think... Nevertheless it's there option and frankly it's not an excuse, at least, as far as I'm concerned!
Ergonomically there are other basic errors:
1. The phone front 'fascia' doesn't open/slide enough for you to have space to effectively use the upper keyboard row/buttons.
2. The lower keyboard row is placed to close to the unit's end, making it quite difficult to dial with your thumb while holding the phone in the palm of your hand.
...Sorry to say, but it's a bad/defective layout design! Again, I doubt a prototype was tested by human hands!
...And now - as it seems to be usual with the last Nokia products - The Bugs:
(Please feel free to add the ones you've found - It came a time I gave up using the phone any more!)
1. I couldn't connect the phone by 'bluetooth' with Nokia's own/dedicated «Pc Suite v.7.1.18.0»! (I'm using Win XP Prof SP3)
A bug, the lousy 'bluetooth' sound/connection, or a defective unit?
I discovered that it only happened with my first unit, which I now conclude - was defective. (I had given up after several hours lost trying to figure out what was wrong and discovering that the 'old' 6110 still worked perfectly, even with the new/last «Pc Suite» versions and settings!)
The second phone works now flawlessly with the «Pc Suite» program, I have to say!
2. Setting an alarm to a different day rather than the actual one, switches the alarm back to the actual day, as soon as you save it!
Another bug that 'Beta Users' seem to have forgotten. It's unbelievable how basic things like this can happen... Well, maybe they never used the alarm (or the phone), after all?
Corrected in firmware 4.13; so it seems... (However it took two firmware releases to correct it! Inexcusable, from my point of view!)
3. When navigating, if you receive or make a phone call the 'Navigation Screen' doesn't show back again after ending the call, although you continue receiving 'road voice indications'; to have your 'Map Display/Visual Road Indications' once again you need to 'hit' the 'Start
Application Button' once again - Delirious!!!
4. With 'bluetooth' on, if you give a 'Contacts Voice Command' you don't have sound/voice 'feed back / confirmation' for the 'dialled contact' (as you had in the 6110) - you have to look at the screen to aknowledge it - Quite unsafe if you're driving...
Last... And as usual... Some 'phone freezing', so we can rehearse (and improve) our 'Remove Battery' exercise...
Welcome to the club, thank you very much, I hope you enjoy!
There are several other 'malfunction' that I will not go into depth, as they are user/personal related, and quite frankly I'm so tired of this phone, that I don't feel like going on, and on, pointing out all those shortcomings - after all this should be Nokia's Team own home work!
The ones I pointed out are enough, at least for me, to say - bye, bye, «Nokia 6210 Navigator».
I may even continue to use my old '6110' - Why not? Not perfect, but a much better (navigator) phone - But I'm surely will looking quite closely into another brand for my next (navigator) phone!
Best wishes to all of you (Nokia, included),
telele
P.S. - As usual, you are entitled to contradict my findings... Update the bugs list... Or even praise the «6210 Navigator» phone.
All your comments are surely welcome!
I, on the other hand, will be returning this second unit.
Sorry, but I had enough - Period.

I have also 'upgraded' from a 6110 Navigator to a 6210 Navigator and found the newer model to be considerably harder to use.
In particular, your point #4 about not having a warning beep when issuing a voice command while in bluetooth/car mode is my number 1 gripe as it makes my cars bluetooth and phones voice dialling completely useless.
If you have found a solution to that particular issue please let me know.

Most menus missing from Australian AppleTV

Saturday night, time to watch a movie, turn to the Apple TV and…nothing. The only menu choices are Computer and Settings.
After resetting a number of times, searching online, etc, I tried changing the location for the iTunes Store.
Change to the US, all the menu items return. Brazil, menu items as expected. Canada, same. New Zealand, looking good.
Australia again, just Computers and Settings.
Seems like it's a problems with the Australian iTunes store. Question is, how do we get any feedback from Apple about this problem?

Me too!
I am in California and while the Apple TV passes the network tests, I am only seeing Computers and Settings icons.
I've tried
1) reseting power (remove power cable)
2) soft restart (from Settings menu)
3) changing from Ethernet to Wifi and back again
Its acting flaky - I just saw the full set of icons appear for 2 seconds, then disappear again!
Is there an iTunes issue today - would that cause this?

Goods and Bads with the 6110 Navigator

Hi
New user of this forum and a proud owner of a Nokia 6110 Navigator. I had the 6280 but after 2 SW upgrades and still problem with it, I gave up.
First impression of the 6110 is good, but I found a couple of small things that ”irritates” me.
1 – The timer function when you write “0200” and press options instead of green (call) button.
2 – The original headset is too cheap to be an expensive phone like this, should be more like Koss “plug-in-your-ear” kind of headphones, instead of the small “put-close-to-your-ear” thing that is included.
Also, the straight up cable from the top of the phone is no good. Makes the phone lie bad in the pocket. I also guessing that this cable is going to snap after a while. Why not a 90 degree “adapter” or something?
3 – When you sending an SMS, on my 6280 you could choose “last used number” or something like that, now you have to choose name, and then number, and then OK to go back to the SMS.
Well.. that’s it so far. Anyone else have goods and bads about this phone ?
mvh / regards
Timmy

hi im havin same issues!!
i went from 6280 to 6110 after i smashed it
1.first off i didnt kno of the timer option...good bcoz it was annoyin not havin a stopwatch
2. that "recent use list"...lack of it...is annoying. i just made groups of ppl i msg most
3. menu organisation is confusing
4. in call history, it only shows most recent time for that entry, ven if they rang 5 times that day, also they dont show call long eg duration of 3mins 40secs
5. on my 6280, i had a shortcut menu as mi left select button, cant do this now
6. power button is end call button, lotsa accidental turn offs
7. cant turn off start up tone
oh well i still like it

Know a good hosting service with Mac interface in Australia?

I want to create a website from a template, for selling jewelry, and wondered if anyone could recommend a web hosting service in Australia that supports Mac OS X. Hopefully I can buy a domain name, create a website from a template, and subscribe to the host, from the same service.

Hi Judiroo,
It seems to me that this thread has become a bit confused. I've been a web developer for 12 years now and in my experience a we b hosting service doesn't need to support any type of operating system at all.
The relationship between you the web site author and them the web site host (and their servers) is not dependent upon an operating system, or support specifically for OS X.
You, as the web site author, create files compatible with your web site audience. Since you're making a web site for selling jewelry you will most likely create file types such as htm, html, php, asp or swf (or perhaps a combination of these).
These file types aren't specific to OS X or any other operating system. They can be created, stored and viewed on any operating system that supports them. OS X supports creating, storing and viewing all of these file types.
The only thing your web host needs to do is store (and sometimes execute) these files and I've never heard of a web host who didn't support "any file type at all".
This certainly isn't meant to sound condescending, it just seemed like your question had been misinterpreted and the simple answer would've been "Support for OS X isn't required when looking for a host".
Anyway, I'd recommend avoiding Telstra and most other companies of that size. Telstra are a fine example of a company so big and dispersed that they're unable to provide a good service.
I have more than 10 sites hosted with http://www.myacen.com/ who are based in Perth. Their domain registration service http://www.liveregistry.com/ is relatively cheap too. I have a further 5 sites hosted with http://www.whitedoggreenfrog.com/ who are based in Melbourne, include domain registration and are also relatively cheap.
Here are many hosts for you to choose from but support for OS X is something you don't need to look for:

Pre-loaded Australia Map in 6110 Navigator

Hi All,
I have 6110 Navigator which was bought from Singapore. It came with a pre-loaded Singapore map, which isn't much use for me here in Oz so I deleted it.
Now I have a few questions
(1) How do I get the Australian map into this phone, as if it came pre-loaded like other 6110 Navigtor in Australia?
(2) Where does the pre-loaded map reside? In the memory card or phone?
(3) Do I need to pay for a licence to use the pre-loaded map?
(4) Do I need to flash my 6110 to get it with the pre-loaded Australia map? If so how do I do that?
Thanks in Advance.

Ths model is sold with a licence installed for the region of purchase, you would have to buy a licence from Route 66 to use any other maps.
You should be able to install the Australian maps from the software supplied with the phone on the DVD, and then you can activate it buying a licence to activate it through the "Extras" selection in the Options menu in the Route 66 software.

Navigator 6110 and Australia 2006 Q2 Map

Hi All
My new 6110 Navigator was supplied with a Route 66 DVD that contains maps of Austraia that don't match the licence on my phone. Despite repeated calls to Nokia support I'm advised they can't help me I need to persue this with Route 66. Funny, but I thought I bought the phone from Nokia. I know for sure the key deciding thing for me was that it inlcuded a licenced copy of the Autralian Maps.
There is a really easy way around this. All I have to do is shell out 49 Euros and buy an updated map from Route 66. This is incredibly easy to do but getting a copy of the map I am licenced for seems to be impossible. Remarkable really.
Can anyone help please? I need to download a copy of the Australia 2006 Q2 Map that matches my licence. All help appreciated.
John

After several calls to Nokia who denied any responsibility and referred me to Route 66, this is the response from Route 66 support (verbatim):
"Dear customer,
I kindly inform you that it is Nokia's decision what is the map included in the package.
We can only provide you maps via the ROUTE 66 application, but every map has to be purchased.
Sof if you are not pleased with the map which Nokia installed from the beginning please contact Nokia for further information.
Kind regards
Cristina Mares
ROUTE 66 Customer Support"
So, if you are buying a Navigator 6110 don't expect any support from Nokia or Route 66 if you need a copy of the map licensed with the phone. There appears to be no way of recovering the map you are licensed for but you can sure go and buy a new one. If this isn't a scam it has the same net effect.

6110 Pre-installed Australia Map

Hey guys. I've managed to delete the preinstalled Australia map from my 6110 navigator.
The first time I used the Route 66 software, I deleted all of the other language voices to save space on the SD card, and at the same time must have had the Australia map checked.
I've reinstalled the Australia map to the phone via the Route 66 software, however it's now locked and needs a license, which they want to charge me 49.95 euros for. How do I get my original map and/or license back?

Thanks for th info Patc, but the phone is brand new, so I haven't even had a chance to sync it with anything yet. I got it in Brisbane on Thursday, but was away on holiday, and only just got back to my computer. I was looking forward to playing around with it properly, but managed to somehow stuff it.
So, basically I don't have any backups, new or old. I should have backed up the phone with the Route 66 program as soon as I connected it, but didn't. Thanks for the suggestion though, if anyones got any other ideas, I'd be grateful beyond measure!

Nokia 6110 Navigator 5.11 Buglist

Nokia, after a year of no support for the Nokia 6110 Navigator despite many bugs, please readd firmware-update-support in Nokia software updater, and fix those bugs remaining in the firmware 5.11 installed by most Nokia service centers since July 2008:
1- when alarm is set to workdays "monday-to-friday" (or whatever 5 day-period) the date on the phone doesn't change on saturday night. On sundays it still shows saturday although the time is correct, and the alarm doesn't work till the date is reset and then everything goes normal till the next sunday when the problem happens again.
2- No matter if you use the original Nokia Sound recorder or third party software, all the recordings have a loud crack sound in the beginning.
3-Volume +/- does not function while playing games.
4- Dual line 32kb sim cards fail to switch to the second line and resets the phone when switched to the second line.
5-Line 1 ringtone and Line 2 ringtone options in profiles disappear for no reason although using a dual line.
6-Deleted numbers in Logs->Recent Calls-> missed/received/dialled logs still remain in the log list view which shows coloured arrows.
7-Even if the sent message history is turned off, the numbers which were sent messages are still shown in the log list shown with arrows.
8- Numbers dialed/received calls list occasionally clears if phone turned off
9- If the phone gets connected to computer over usb cable, and used once on pc suite mode and then once in the data transfer mode, then the vibration is disabled until you reboot the phone. (Settings suggest the vibration is on, but in fact it is simply turned off)
10- On the internet bookmarks view, (accessed through the web icon) if a bookmark is deleted or moved to a different folder they are still shown in the root until the application is closed and re-opened. And if tried to open them by mistake the phone responds "it doesn' exist".
11- If you conect the phone to Nokia software updater by usb cable in pc sync mode, then connect it by data-transfer-mode, all your own created folders including moved icons will be lost and reset to default.
12-It's not possible to use voice dial with voice synthesis turned on.
13- No flash lite 3.0 support
14- If a memo is set or synchronised from outlook the memo still shows on the screen even if the date has been passed.
15- If we try to change the date of a past memo by changing both the start and end date to a future date the phone gives an odd error message that says: "Alarm time already passed" What alarm time? There's no alarm option or alarm time field in memos.
16- The phone occasionally shuts down completely (turns itself off) without any warning for some users.
17- Nokia CK 7W bluetooth carkit and other carkits from other companies (for example Funkwerk-Dabendorf Audio2000 with Bluetooth Adapter version 2) have an echo problem where the remote person hears its own voice and a terrible echo. This seems to be due to the fact, that inbuild microphone on the phone is not turned of completely.
18- While entering a new phone number after typing the number a phone type is selected such as telephone, mobile, work mobile etc.If selected the wrong type there is no way to change tis type unless the number is deleted and re-entered which is a hassle.
19- If there are more than one mobile numbers assigned for a contact as "mobile" type (like mentioned above) set default option does not work.
20- The bluetooth A2DP quality has gone worse. It is skip-happy, and degrading of audio quality is very obvious.
21- If any mp3s have embedded images in the id3 tag, which are not quite square (e.g. 194pxls by 197pxls in one of my files), the music will play, but the phone will almost totally lock up if you try to use another application, and the album art won't show at all.
22- Notes in the organiser on the phone cannot be synchronised with the PC via Nokia PC Suite(Outlook 2003).
23- Music Player on the phone finds "zero" audio files when connected to Nokia Suite via USB.
24- If a call is made while connected to a bluetooth carkit (CK 7W in my case) the latest number dialed won't appear in the logs.
25- When navigating in the standard "Nokia Navigator" Route66 application, if the display mode with all info at the bottom (the only mode that display ETA) is set the phone normally remembers this mode between sessions. When signal is lost (typically after a tunnel), the display mode is reset back to default. Please add the newest Route66 updates! As easy as that! Route66 already released 3 new official updates during this time.
26- If an internet connection is established via the browser and closed, the internet connection stays on constantly until the battery is very hot and voltage is drained only if the e-mail update (push e-mail) is set to "ON".
27-The streaming mode is problematic. An H.264 video encoded in 320x240 resolution could be watched full screen in the streaming mode in the previous firmware however the phone will freeze within 1 or 2 seconds after switching from the standard window size to full screen size after 4.22 if watched during streaming.
28- Real Player(Or music player) doesn't update the playlist unless the phone is not restarted.
29- For some of the users some videos start with the first frame and then shows a black screen for a while and then the video plays normally. (DivX Avi files?)
30- System startup dramatically slows up if using a HCSD memory card.
31- Sound cracks occur in high bit rate mp3's if using an HCSD memory card.
32- The flash provides such an artificial colour tone to the picture which makes the picture looks almost blue or green in all cases.
33- If a user decides to use an alternative navigation software he/she should be able to remap the dedicated navigator button to the executeable of the 3rd party software.
34- Sometimes Nokia Navigator-Program is unable to get a satfix, even if satellite-signal is good enough (3 satellites and more above 70% signal-strength). You have to restat the program to get a satfix. Also new Nokia Navigator/Route66-mobile8-version would fix this problem.
35- When you receive via bluetooth a file with an "unknown extension", there is no way to open the message that contains the attached file and, therefore, there is no way to save the file itself.
There are certainly more bugs, those ones are the ones found by a few customers, the most obvious ones, that keep us nagging since a year now. It seems, you are not testing your phones, as bug #1 (alarm-clock) for example is obvious and was not fixed since the release of the phone.

And I'd like to add these remaining ones from our other threads..
36- When listening to music on the handset and a call comes through, the sound switches to Mono after you hang up and the music resumes playing. And the only way to restore stereo sound is to restart the phone.
37-6110 keeps showing alot of devices in the "send to" bluetooth menu that was paired with and deleted long ago.
38-Joystick press can be used for accepting commands at all areas except for messaging. When message is ready to be sent you cannot click joystick and send message. You need to select options and send and then choose select from the menu.

So many wireless questions in my move to australia--HELP

I'm moving to australia and I have many questions--please forgive the length of this. First I had been waiting for the Palm Centro to move to Verizon because my Tungsten E is dying. Now that I'm moving I'm going to need to buy a cell phone in Australia--versus trying to get an unlocked one here I think. I see that they have Centro, but not with the big server Vodafone, which leads me back to the iphone. I avoided it because I don't want to pay for all the services I don't need. All I want is the PDA to link with my iBook G4 (still with Panther) easily to have all my contacts from my Tungsten E. I hear Palm may even be discontinuing the PDA's all together so I really do need to make the move. Yet the other big PDA, the blackberry doesn't sync easily with the mac from what I hear and read. Anybody have suggestions about a good solid phone/pda that I can use in Australia with my iBookG4? Can I spend just $199 here on an Iphone bring it with me, hook it up there with Vodafone and just use it as a phone/pda without any of the internet features?
Second question is related to communication when I first land in Australia to my husband in LA. I was told that I could use my ibook at any airport with Skype. Is this true? How? I have airport for our wireless SBC modem here, but Im guessing I would need some special USB unit. but is that the way to go. I was thinking to buy an international Mobal phone for $50 just to have for the first few days until I get internet set up over there and can start trying to figure out skype? I suppose I could try a phone card from a payphone but $50 seems like a small price to pay for communication in the beginning...unless there is a brilliant idea I hadn't considered (hence my writing here)
I am really clueless here. any suggestions, websites, links I should consider would be very appreciated. More than I can say since there are a million other details about this move that are taking up space in my head.
thank you in advance.

Same thing happened to me and I did a reset twice but the problem doesn't go away. It's Apple's video player that has problems. You don't want to reset it every time it happens, right? Get another video player, any player will do. I got flex player for free. Now I don't have any problems playing my videos any more.

Free goods determination is not working

We are on CRM 7.0.
I'm trying to configure Free goods determination in CRM sales order TSA. We have
done all the relevant customizing under CRM -> Basic Functions -> Free Goods.
Free Goods Procedure: 0NA001
Condition Type: 0NA0
Access Seq.: 0NA0
Table: SAP010
We have created the condition master data under transaction /SAPCND/GCM
with the following parameters:
Application: PRT
Maintenance Grp: PRT_FGOODS
When we create a sales order which uses the free goods procedure 0NA001 the system doesn't determine the right product. I would expect a sub item being added automatically under the main item which is part of the offer but nothing happens. Is that the correct expectation?
As part of the configuration settings, we use TAN item category for main item and I have configured item category TANN for sub-item with item usage "FREE" (not sure this is the right setting).
I have debugged the process and in FM FGD_DETERMINE_FREE_GOODS_MULTI, IPC does not return any results or any error messages.
Has anybody gone through the same issues/pain? What point am I missing?
Thanks for input.

How can I optimally stream data to disk at 5 MS/s on 4 channels using a PCI-6110?

I am using a PCI-6110 to acquire data streaming from a camera. Data arrives on all four analog input channels at 5 MHz. An A2D clock is attached to PFI8, also originating from the camera and operating at 5 MHz. Finally, there is a Valid-data signal from the camera that signals when the data stream coming in on the four analog channels is actual data (each Validate pulse is about 132 samples wide). This is attached to PFI0. Ideally, I would like to have a program that captures data at the full rate and is correctly synchronized with the Valid-data line. It should also be able to stream to disk for several seconds at least before pausing for the buffer.
Though I'm something of an inexper
ienced programmer, I have attempted programs both in LabView and C (using DAQmx) to resolve this, but I have experienced much slower behavior than I'd like. In LabView, this seems to be the result of slow streaming to disk, such that I have to pause and reset the task every frame (132x512 samples per channel). Using DAQmx in C, I have found it necessary to restart the task after every line (132 samples per channel) in order to correctly trigger from the Validata pulse. Both are far from optimal. I would appreciate any advice that those of you with more experience reading at very high rates from this card may have to offer.

I'm not sure if I fully understand your application, but maybe some of these hints will help.
First your streaming to disk rate is going to vary widely depending on your system. Sometimes using a faster processor helps, but most of the time using a faster hard drive will give you the best performance increase.
Second, writing less data will often have a dramatic impact in streaming to disk applications. If you're reading back scaled data, I would strongly recommend switching to unscaled or raw reads and storing off the scaling constants so you can scale the data off line. This could reduce the required streaming to disk bandwidth by a factor of 4 alone.
Third, since the 6110 is a 12 bit device, you can try compressing two 12 bit samples into one 24 b
it piece of data. This will allow you to store in three bytes what used to take four.
Last, you might consider using your signal on PFI0 as a pause trigger. Depending on the frequency of the pulses on your Valid-data signal, this could significantly reduce the required bandwidth of both the PCI bus and your hard drive. However, since the 6110 uses pipelined ADCs, you need to be careful if the time between valid data pulses is greater than one millisecond. This would violate the minimum sampling frequency of the board and the points in the pipeline that are returned after unpausing (3 in this case) might not be digitized at the full accuracy specification for the device. Because of the pipelining, you also need to be careful how you correlate the data. The first time you unpause for the Valid-data pulse, the first three points will be garbage points. The second and subsequent times you unpause, the first three points are really the last three points from the previous Valid-dat
a pulse. See the Device Considerations->Timing chapter in the NI-DAQmx Help file for more information on timing considerations with pipelined ADCs.
I hope this information helps. Good luck!

Looking for intermediate skill level short course (1 - 2) days in Melbourne (Australia)

Hi Everyone,
I am relatively new to writing SQL queries, and do not consider myself to be a natural.
Late last year I studied a Unit called 'Introduction to Database Design' at Deakin University. This unit reflected the broad ANSI standard SQL (during theoretical studies), and Oracle SQL Plus (during practical studies). I did quite well in the unit, and now
have a thorough understanding of the basic SQL concepts such as JOINs, UNIONs, etc.
This year I find myself working specifically with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, and related T-SQL syntax within my occupation. More specifically the company that I work for uses SAP Business One, and the underlying infrastructure at my work is MS SQL Server
2008 R2.
I would like to study some more SQL formally! My boss will probably back me in attending a one / two day course that deals specifically with T-SQL.
I am ideally looking to learn some 'intermediate' skills, such as CTEs, and Pivots. However performance of the SQL Server itself (such as Load Balancing, and Tuning) does not interest me.
I live in the
Melbourne (Australia) and would like to find a suitable course in the CBD or surrounding suburbs.
If anybody can suggest any courses / course providers that are very good at teaching in my area can you please share. Finally my budget would probably be somewhere between $600 to $1000 for the course, but if the course comes with high recommendations I might
be able to budget a little higher.
Any help and or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
David

Hi David,
According to your description, you are going to find some T-SQL courses near to Melbourne Australia, right?
Since we are not in Australia, it's hard to give you the exact courses about T-SQL in Melbourne. However, you can learn it online. Here are some useful links about CTE and Pviots, please refer to the links below.
