Accessing counter value on STARTTRIG/ACQ line for Dio-6533

Hello,
Using LabVIEW 6.1 for MacOS (on a laptop), NI-DAQ 6.9.
I was wondering if there's any way to access the counter value assosicated with each control group for the dio-6533. Basically, I want to use triggered i/o; however, I don't want it to generate/acquire on each trigger, but wait for a set number of triggers. DIO boards don't seem to have a feature like certain E-series boards where you can specify that the board wait for a certain number of trigger pulses; I thought to circumvent this by accessing the counter and arming the trigger just before the pulse that I want it triggered off of.
Thanks for any insight you can offer.
Regards,
jdk

Hello;
The only way to accomplish that is to use another board together with the 6533. You can even get a low cost E-series board, and use the available general purpose counters to create the necessary delay, and then enable the external pulse train to start clocking data in/out on the 6533.
Hope this helps.

Counting the number of lines for each procedure in a package

Hi,
I would like to write a query on USER_SOURCE that can display the number of code lines for each procedure/function in a package.
Is it possible to write such a query? Maybe by using analytical functions?
for example in the following example i would like to count the lines between "PROCEDURE proc1 IS" and "END proc1;" and between "PROCEDURE proc2 IS" and "END proc2;"
SQL> select text from user_source where name='PKG_TEST' and type='PACKAGE BODY';
TEXT
PACKAGE BODY PKG_TEST IS
PROCEDURE proc1 IS
BEGIN
    update t1 set EDITION_NAME = 'AAAAAAA';
    commit;
END proc1;
PROCEDURE proc2 IS
BEGIN
   update t1 set EDITION_NAME = 'AAAAAAA';
    commit;
END proc2;
END PKG_TEST;thanks for helping

Hopefully some idiot manager isn't trying to use this sort of thing to base their decisions on developer productivity. If so, they ARE idiots. Number of code lines NEVER, EVER, EVER!!! translates into an efficient application. If I were paid by the line, my code would look like:

Based on the idiocy of this method of determining "performance" I would get paid $5.00 at $1.00/line.

Setting the value of a single attribute for multiple line items

Hi all,
I am working on a Web Dynpro application, I have created this applicaion for an accounting document so it has header data and multiple line item data. As per the requirement I have to put the following logic:
1. When a user enters a value in the field KBLNR on the line item, all the other fields like cost centerm fund, functional area should populate from a database table based on the value of the KBLNR. to get this I have put the following code:
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_kblp,
          fipos     TYPE kblp-fipos,
          kostl     TYPE kostl,

        lt_bseg              TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF bseg,
        wa_bseg              TYPE bseg.

             WHERE belnr = lv_bseg-kblnr and

   CLEAR: lv_bseg, wa_kblp.
ENDLOOP.
everything is working fine but now the problem is couple of fields that I have in wa_kblp are with different names in bseg table and hence they are not updating... I tried putting the following logic within the loop :
lo_el_t_bseg->set_attribute(
    name = `PROJK`
value = wa_kblp-pspnr ).
but it's only setting the value of the first line item and not working for the multiple line items, can you please tell me how can do this?
Thanks,

Hi Chris,
I tried your code and it worked fine but after I put this code I am getting another issue. within the loop I had a code to make the fields non modifiable on the screen and was working fine but now what's happening is it's making the all the lines uneditable except the one with data on it (which is completely opposite), this is what I have coded:
LOOP AT lt_el_tbseg INTO lo_el_tbseg.

In Mavericks "Mail" I am unable to access the BCC: line or to put a contact on that line for sending.

In Mavericks Mail I am unable to access the BCC: line for sending a blind carbon copy. I open my Contacts list, select a person, and when I click on the BCC: box above in the Contacts window, the person is not entered onto a line in the email for receiving a BCC: and the BCC: line does not even appear. Thoughts from all you experts out there?

I managed to find the answer to my own question. As shown in the screenshot below, the header field area on a new message contains a small lined box in the lower left corner of it. If you click on the lined box, it allows you to customize the Header field, such as adding a BCC: line.

Idoc to file scenario which involves accessing a persistant counter value

Hi,
Presently Iam dealing with an idoc to file scenario in which I need to map the idoc info and also a persistant counter value to a flat file. So in how many ways can we maintain a persistant counter value(either by variable/file/database)? Please can any one help me in overcoming this scenario by providing any implemented example.

Hi,
Please see the following links , you can use database is best.

How to get counter value from Historian

Hi Experts,
We have got a scenario to keep the number (counter) to see how many time a value of tag have been changed.
For Example:
If the values change from 1 to 0 and 0 to 1 for 25 times in a minute. We would like to get this number (25) from Historian (Wonderware).
Currently we are not using any Pco to fetch the value from Hisotrian since we are able to fetch the tag values from Historian database through SQLConnection.
I would like to know if we introduce Pco, will that help us to get this counter value.
We are working on MII 15.0 version.
Any help of this very much appreciated.
Thanks
Shaji

Hi Shaji,
PCo OPC DA does not support PCoQuery TagAggregateMode as it only has access to Current Values of OPC Tags, because OPC DA only provides Current Value access.
I know it is possible to execute SQL queries against the Wonderware Historian to retrieve counts aggregates, but don't have the details handy. Recommend that you deploy the InSQLPCo Data Server in MII and try using the PCoQuery TagAggregateMode method to retrieve the Counts aggregate first.

Counter value jumps on occasion (PXI 6255)

I am using a PXI 8108 controller (Windows) with a PXI 6255 AI card. A pulse generator (1 KHz) is incrementing the hardware counter of that AI card in order to have an external reference clock, i. e. having a timestamp for each AI sample value.
I am reading 1000 AI values from several channels (together with 1000 counter values) via DAQmx blocks with a higher frequency than the external clock's 1 KHz (e.g. AI Rate 5 KHz-> reading every counter value approx. 5 times). Every now an then I am losing counter values, e. g. counter value 6789 is followed by 6823.
Shouldn't be the PXI card's counter buffer independant of Window's CPU load? Getting 1000 values from the card buffer, the jumps are even located in the middle of the 1000 values. Maybe there's a problem with atomicity while reading from the buffer, so that I get 500 values from the buffer, (pause), and 500 more values from a later point in time. Is this possible?
I am sure, I can not blame the digital pulse generator (from Hameg Instruments) for dropping pulses.

Hello,
If the first scan only places 4 samples in the AI FIFO (2 less than the number of channels requested), then I would expect this loop to run forever in aiex1.cpp (I added some debugging prints to make it easier to see the channels that should be getting returned).
       while ( m < numberOfChannels )
        if(!board->AI_Status_1.readAI_FIFO_Empty_St())
            value = board->AI_FIFO_Data.readRegister ();
            aiPolynomialScaler (&value, &scaled, &scale);
            printf ("Channel %d: %e,\n", m, scaled);
            m++;
    printf("\tEnd of Sample %d\n", n);
How is the example able to proceed past this loop?
I have checked the code for FIFO flushes and resets between aiStartOnDemand (board); and when the FIFO gets read. I have also run the example with 6 channels, this time on Windows.
To proceed we would need these items:
1) We would need the exact output (with my added debug prints).
2) A complete dump of all registers accessed during the example.

How can I access the values in ProfileArray of a CWIMAQProfileReport?

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the right board, but I didn't find one related to VB and NI Vision.
I'm using LineProfile2 from CWIMAQVision1 which gives me a ProfileArray which is a variant. I'd like to access the
values in the array. Normally I would do it like
Report(1).ProfileArray(i)
but that does not work. I can get the bounds of the array with LBound and UBound. I can observe the array in
debug modus and it contains reasonable values.
How can I get access to the contents of the ProfileArray?
Thanks in advance
Axel

Hi Elmar,
thanks for paying attention to my problems.
I use Vision 8.5. My email adress is [email protected]
I don't need the hole intensity of the image/2D array. I only need the
intensity values of a given line which should be a 1D array of bytes.
I use the following command
        CWIMAQVision1.LineProfile2 Image, Line, Report
When I understood the command correctly the intensity values are
in the Report. I would get them with
        Report(1).ProfileArray(i)
But that does not work. I get a runtime error #450.
Other stuff with the report works and gives reasonable values e.g.
            Report(1).PixelCount
            LBound(Report(1).ProfileArray)
            UBound(Report(1).ProfileArray)
Or passing the hole array to plot the values also works
        frmLineProfile.CWGraph1.PlotY Report(1).ProfileArray
Best regards,
Axel

Using multiple values in a where clause, for values only known at runtime

Dear all
I am creating a PL/SQL program which returns multiple rows of data but only where it meets a set id values that a user has previously chosen. The id values are stored in an associative array and are chosen by a user in the preceding procedure at run time.
I know all the table and column names in advance. The only things I don't know are the exact number of ids selected from the id column and what their values will be. This will only be known at runtime. When the procedure is run by the user it prints multiple rows of data to a web browser.
I have been reading the following posting, which I understand to a large extent, Query for multiple value search But I cannot seem to figure out how I would apply it to my work as I am dealing with multiple rows and a cursor.
The code as I have currently written it is wrong because I get an error not found message in my web browser. I think the var_user_chosen_map_list_ids in the for cursor loop could be the problem. I am using the variable_user_chosen_map_list_ids to store all the id values from my associatative array as a string. Which I modified from the code that vidyadhars posted in the other thread.
Should I be creating a OPEN FOR ref cursor and if so where would I put my associative array into it? At the moment I take the value, turning it into a string and IN part in the WHERE clause holds the string, allowing the WHERE clause to read all the values from it. I would expect the where clause to read everything in the string as 1 complete string of VARCHAR2 data but this would not be the case if this part of the code at least was correct. The code is as follows:
--Global variable section contains:
var_user_chosen_map_list_ids VARCHAR2(32767);
PROCEDURE PROCMAPSEARCH (par_user_chosen_map_list_ids PKG_ARR_MAPS.ARR_MAP_LIST)

var_user_chosen_map_list_ids := substr(var_user_chosen_map_list_ids,
                                        1,
                                        length(var_user_chosen_map_list_ids)-1);
var_exe_imm_map := 'FOR rec_search_entered_details IN cur_map_search

htp.print('Map date: ' || cur_map_search.map_date || ' Map title: ' || cur_map_search.map_title)

I would like to thank everyone for their kind help.
I have now successfully converted my code for use with dynamic SQL. Part of my problem was getting the concept confused a little, especially as I could get everything work in a static cursor, including variables, as long as they did not contain multiple values. I have learnt that dynamic sql runs the complete select statement at runtime. However even with this I was getting concepts confused. For example I was including variables and the terminator; inside my select string, where as these should be outside it. For example the following is wrong:
     TABLE (sys.dbms_debug_vc2coll(par_user_chosen_map_list_ids))....
AND MI.map_publication_id = column_value;';Where as the following is correct:
     TABLE (sys.dbms_debug_vc2coll('||par_user_chosen_map_list_ids||'))....
AND MI.map_publication_id = column_value';PL/SQL is inserting the values and then running the select statement, as opposed to running the select statement with the variables and then accessing the values stored in those variables. Once I resolved that it worked. My revised code is as follows:
--Global variable section contains:
var_user_chosen_map_list_ids VARCHAR2(32767);

Access again vekp with vekp-vpobjkey = mkpf-xblnr and vekp-uevel = vekp-venum.
Count the number of extracted lines.

Hi,
First u should start writing the code on ur own:
here's some sketch:
tables: vekp, mkpf.
data: begin of itab_vekp occurs 0,
      venum like vekp-venum,
     end of itab_vekp.
data: begin of itab_mkpf occurs 0,
        xblnr like mkpf-xblnr,
      end of itab_mkpf.
data: count type i.
select-options: s_xblnr for mkpf-xblnr.
select xblnr from mkpf into table itab_mkpf where xblnr in s_xblnr.
select venum from vekp
into table itab_vekp
* for all entries in itab_mkpf
where vpobjkey = itab_mkpf-xblnr
   and vpobj = '03'
   and uevel = ' '.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
count = sy-dbcnt.
endif.

DAQmx+6009: Reading the current counter value is too slow

I have a thread that runs a software loop that I need to run as fast as possible. One of the things I need to do is poll the current counter value from my 6009, and branch if it's changed from the last time I read it. Over 90% of the time spent in my 1.2ms loop is doing this read. My goal is to get the loop under 50us.
What I really need here is an accurate timestamp (20us or better) for every time the counter changes (up to 1kHz). When I detect a change, I currently get the timestamp by calling QueryPerformanceCounter().
Here's how I create the task:
    DAQmxErrChk( DAQmxCreateTask("",&taskHandle) );
    DAQmxErrChk( DAQmxCreateCICountEdgesChan( taskHandle, line, "", DAQmx_Val_Falling, 0, DAQmx_Val_CountUp ) );
    DAQmxErrChk( DAQmxStartTask(taskHandle) );
And here's the line of code that goes so slow in my loop:
    DAQmxErrChk( DAQmxReadCounterScalarU32( taskHandle, 10.0, &count, NULL ) );

I updated a robot control from a Mac Powerbook with a PCI expansion chasis running Mac OS9, Labview 5 and DAQ to a Mac Mini (intell) with 6009 and 6501 USB cards running Mac OSX, Labview 8.5, and DAQmx-base. I have connected wheel encoders (pule train and direction) to a 6009 and a 6501. It all seems to work, except the tuning of velocity control loops is not as good as before, indicating some delays. The loops run every 100msec (10Hz update) so I expected a synchronisation problem rather than latency. I did some measurements today and found that reading the 2 counters and the 2 digital inputs takes over 20msec.
I get better performance from VISA with a serial to USB converter. I have a program reading 25byte packets every 20msec. Although I did run into the USB latency problem with another serial application. I have a serial device that requires a response t changing CTS (clear to send) in less than 1.2msec, and VISA was taking 1.5msec.
On the same machine I am reading 1024 samples from an analog input every 100msec with out any timing issues - (once I got the incredibly slow start and stop vis outside the loop - they take about 200msec each. Taking the start and stop vis outside the loop reduced my loop time from 450msec (approx) to 100msec. The only problem is that to do this I have to run in continuous mode and can't use an external trigger (it has to restart on every trigger, so the start and stop vis have to be in the loop).
So it appears that I have updated my technology by 10 years only to find that USB is incredibly slow - something that is not in any of the NI doccumentation that I can find. Does NI have any documentation on what to expect in terms of performance from these USB devices and any suggestions on how to get better performance, apart from buying more expensive hardware?
Thanks

This is regarding printing vertical lines for each and every field

Hi to all.....
1....Hi
here is a requirement
i want to print vertical lines and horizontal lines for each and every field in the output of a report.Here i want to see the output just like table i.e i want to draw line after each field.
                         suppose if the output list contains just 10 records, then the vertical line must end for 10 records.how to draw vertical lines for this requirement.
thanks and regards,
k.swaminath

Hi
In report you can use
sy-uline for horizontal line
sy-vline for vertical lines.

Unable to capture field values in Master agreement Line Items

I am trying to get the field values from master agreement line items page. I have written the following code to get the line item details which is working fine to capture part number and quantity->
agreementBean = doc.getRootParentIBean();
lineItemCollection = agreementBean.getLineItems();
collectionsize = lineItemCollection.size();
for(i=0;i<collectionsize;i++){
     collectionbean = lineItemCollection.get(i);
     partNum = ""+collectionbean.getPartNumber() ;
     Quantity = ""+collectionbean.getQuantity();
     throw doc.createApplicationException(null,partNum + " , " + Quantity );
Now, my problem is that I am unable to capture the following field item values in the master agreement > line items page.
1. Price Unit
2. Unit Price
3. Product Category
4. Plant
Please help me to find the values.
Thankx in Advance.
Su
Edited by: subrataindra on Aug 10, 2010 11:11 AM

This will return the name of the plant.
.getExtensionField("PLANT").get().getDisplayName(session);
Check if this returns the product category
collectionbean.getExtensionField("ITEM_CAT").get().getDisplayName();
This will Return the Price
collectionbean.getExtensionField("PRICE").get().getPrice();
(return type :BigDecimal)
This will return the currency
collectionbean.getExtensionField("PRICE").get().getCurrency;
(Return type:String)
Similarly to retrieve other fields for which there are no standard functions, use .getExtensionField("Field ID")
Hope this helps
Regards,
Immanuel

How to get counter values from pci 6221 card?

Hii
I am using PCI 6221 card .. In that i am using the ctr o .. In my application i am using Linear encoder to measure the Lift movement.. so from software how to access the counter values i.e how much mm it moves...

Measure Angular Position.vi in the LabVIEW examples will be a good starting point. Adapt it to Linear Encoder by clicking on the selector below DAQmx Create Channel.vi.
You can also create a corresponding DAQmx Global Channel (or task) in MAX and then use it in your code.
Feel free to post back if you need further help.
