ADC0808 outputting random values

I have interfaced an atmel 89c51 with ADC0808. Given the clock through uC. Vrf+ 5v.Vref- 0v.
I have also interfaced it with max232. Done the programming so that the ADC has three inputs and uC initiates the ADC0808 and sends the outputs to serial port. Input values are converted into Decimal and then ASCII (to display on hyperterminal). While I give 0 volts to all inputs.
The output is
000,000,000
When I give 5 volt to 1st input. The output appears as
255,000,000
But when i give input value between 0-5 volt.e.g 2.5 volt. the ouptut is still
000,000,000
I could not understand what could be the problem.
I have uploaded the proteus.simlulation file,c and hex code

Hi 444444,
Thanks for posting to National Instruments forums. I wanted to check, after scanning your initial post, are you using any National Instruments software or hardware, perhaps something like the USB 8451? These forums are frequented by NI users and, subsequently, are a great place to speak with experts in the use of those products. Looking through your set up, I was unfamiliar with a lot of the hardware you mentioned, and as such I am not sure if this forum will be the best place to get the answers and expertise you are seeking. Perhaps the manufacturers of the 89c51 and ADC0808 have a support line where the expertise in your hardware is more readily available. I am sure that they would be a better resource as far a familiarity with programming and how data should be returned by that ADC.

Weighted random value (1-10) e.g.3 will be 50 % of records

Hello,
i need to generate random values into my table. For the simplification, lets say that i need to generate values in range from 1 to 10. For this there is a lot of ways.
e.g. UPDATE test_number SET random_value = round (dbms_random.value (1,10))
But what I need is something like weighted random values. I need random values to be inserted into column, but I need e.g. 3 to be inserted more times than other values e.g. if i have 100 rows i want to have 3 in 50 random rows
Do you have any idea how to achieve it?
Thanks a lot for any help or reply !

Hi,
You can do something like this:
WITH     got_p_num     AS
     SELECT     LEVEL                         AS id
     ,     FLOOR (dbms_random.value (1, 19))     AS p_num
     FROM     dual
     CONNECT BY     LEVEL     <= 10
SELECT       id
,       p_num
,       CASE
          WHEN p_num     < 3     THEN p_num
          WHEN p_num     < 12     THEN 3
                                 ELSE p_num - 8
       END     AS r_num
FROM       got_p_num
ORDER BY r_num
;If you want the number 3 to appear on half of the rows; that means that, out of 18 random numbers, you expect 3 to occur 9 times, and the other numbers to appear once each. The query above generates random integers in the range 1 through 18 inclusive, and calls this number p_num. The CASE statement maps p_num to what you really want, a n integer between 1 and 10, with 3 occurring 9/18 (= 1/2) of the time.
Instead of using a CASE expression, you might want to create a table, that has one row for every number that can be in the output, and the probability of picking that number. You could then join to that table to convert the raw random number to the id that you want.

How can i get the random values from database?

Hi,
i want to get random values from database.
I try my best find no solution
plz give solution in either sql query or java method.
thanks in advance.

try this:
Give a numeric row-id to each row of database.
say (1-100) for 100 rows
In the program use random function to get random number between 0 and 1. this value u multiply with 100(or total number of rows) and take integer value of it . u then perform sql query to select the a row which matches randomly genarated value with row-id assigned to each row of database

Selecting random values from an array based on a condition

Hi All,
I have a small glitch here. hope you guys can help me out.
I have an evenly spaced integer array as X[ ] = {1,2,3, ....150}. and I need to create a new array which selects 5 random values from X [ ] , but with a condition that these random values should have a difference of atleast 25 between them.
for example res [ ] = {2,60,37,110,130}
res [ ] = {10,40,109,132,75}
I have been thinking of looping thru the X [ ], and selecting randomly but things look tricky once I sit down to write an algorithm to do it.
Can anyone think of an approach to do this, any help will be greatly appreciated ...

For your interest, here is my attempt.
import java.util.Random;
public class TestDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        for (int n = 0; n < 10; n++) {
            System.out.println(toString(getValues(5, 25, 150)));
    private final static Random RAND = new Random();
    public static int[] getValues(int num, int spread, int max) {
        if (num * spread >= max) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Cannot produce " + num + " spread " + spread + " less than or equals to " + max);
        int[] nums = new int[num];
        int max2 = max - (num - 1) * spread - 1;
        // generate random offsets totally less than max2
        for (int j = 0; j < num; j++) {
            int next = RAND.nextInt(max2);
            // favour smaller numbers.
            if (max2 > spread/2)
                next = RAND.nextInt(next+1);
            nums[j] = next;
            max2 -= next;
        // shuffle the offsets.
        for (int j = num; j > 1; j--) {
            swap(nums, j - 1, RAND.nextInt(j));
        // add the spread of 25 each.
        for (int j = 1; j < num; j++) {
            nums[j] += nums[j-1] + spread;
        return nums;
    private static void swap(int[] arr, int i, int j) {
        int tmp = arr;
arr[i] = arr[j];
arr[j] = tmp;
public static String toString(int[] nums) {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(nums.length * 4);
sb.append("[ ");

sb.append(", ");
sb.append(nums[j]);
sb.append(" ]");
return sb.toString();

In XML Output the values of Number column tags are not displayed properly

Hi,
Our Client have been using AR Invoice Print Program for a long time and it is heavily customized. Also they are using an old version of the RDF. So we have taken the latest version of the RDF (RAXINV.rdf) for Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 by raising a SR and implement Client's old RAXINV.rdf into it.
All was ok, but when we are running the program, the XML Output did not generate properly. For the Q_INVOICE query (G_ORDER_BY, G_INVOICE and G_INV_TERM group), the value of some of the scaler number columns are not appeared properly. The tags are coming correctly, but the value is appearing as '*', instead of the correct value. We have checked in the RDF Level (By putting srw.message and check in the log file) that those columns are having proper value. So there is no issue with the RDF.
But because of the above mentioned problem, the some of the PDF output field values also is not generated correctly.
I think that because of the lexical parameters which was implementing the Q_INVOICE query (&COMMON_QUERY) this issue is coming. Because the issue is only in the Q_INVOICE query group (G_ORDER_BY, G_INVOICE and in G_INV_TERM group) not in any other query group.
There is no problem with the scaler character columns. The issue is only with the number columns.
Also we have checked that if we hardcode the value of the number columns in the above mentioned lexical parameter, this problem doesn't appear.
If we put TO_CHAR function to those number columns in the lexical parameter (COMMON_QUERY), then this issue get solved. But we can't do it because of performance issue and also Client won't approve it.
Please help.
With Thanks and Regards

I don't know how to read the code you pasted or I would have checked this myself.
Do your fields in the internal table reference dictionary objects or elementary types? If not using dictionary types, the column names will be blank by default. If you can't change your fields to be dictionary types, you can try this to change the column names:
I made a method inside my local class to add the names:
        call method set_colname
          EXPORTING iv_tab = alv_tab

Random Value Generation

FYI, time to give back. I have received a number of excellent
responses from this forum, so here is one that might help someone
else.
I had found and modified the code below to generate a random
value (letters and numbers) to use as a member ID. With it you can
set the length of the generated value, as well as the content
(numbers, capital letters, lower case letters, even special
symbols). I chose a subset of capital letters along with 0-9 so the
result contained more numbers.

I don't get it?! Why not just use something like
#createUUID()#, which is also apparently meant to be unique
everytime.
If you don't like the format of createUUID you can always run
a couple of functions over it to alter it a bit, like taking out
some of the dashes, or making it longer etc.
Maybe I'm missin the point...it's late here!! Me =
sleepy.

Inserting Random Values

Hi there!
just a little question:
I want to insert into a table random values between -2 and 2, which shoul differ for every row. When I'm writing
FOR n IN nodes LOOP
    FOR EACH n2 IN nodes2 LOOP
      IF (n2.layer_ = n.layer_ +1) THEN
        INSERT INTO nn2_links (lfdnr, sourceid, destid, weight, delta_weight, Zone_)
             VALUES (lfdnr#, n.nodeid, n2.nodeid, dbms_random.value(-2,2), 0, Zone#);
        lfdnr# := lfdnr# +1;
      END if;
    END LOOP;
END LOOP; I'll get the same value for all records fullfilling the IF-criteria in the middle. What can I do? Must I write another loop?
greetings

Unique Random Values

OK, firstly, I am a Java n00b. I am not creating a program, just editing some source, but I need some help. What I need, are 5 different variables, each with a random value (integer) between 1 and 5 (inclusive), but, I don't want to variables to have the same value. The outcomes I'm looking for could be as follows:
t = 4
i = 3
g1 = 5
g2 = 1
y = 2
and then the next time the code is run I might get:
t = 1
i = 5
g1 = 4
g2 = 2
y = 3
Each variable has a random value (integer) between 1 and 5 (inclusive), but no 2 variables have the same value.
Here is what I tried:
     Random rand = new Random();
     int t = (rand.nextInt(5) + 1);
     int i = (rand.nextInt(5) + 1);
     int g1 = (rand.nextInt(5) + 1);
     int g2 = (rand.nextInt(5) + 1);
     int y = (rand.nextInt(5) + 1);
// While i is the same as t, make i a new random integer between 1 and 5. Yes? Or no...?
     do {
     i = (rand.nextInt(5) +1);
     } while (i == t);
     do {
     g1 = (rand.nextInt(5) +1);
     } while (g1 == t);
     do {
     g1 = (rand.nextInt(5) +1);
     } while (g1 == i);
     do {
     g2 = (rand.nextInt(5) +1);
     } while (g2 == t);
     do {
     g2 = (rand.nextInt(5) +1);
     } while (g2 == i);
     do {
     g2 = (rand.nextInt(5) +1);
     } while (g2 == g1);
     do {
     y = (rand.nextInt(5) +1);
     } while (y == t);
     do {
     y = (rand.nextInt(5) +1);
     } while (y == i);
     do {
     y = (rand.nextInt(5) +1);
     } while (y == g1);
     do {
     y = (rand.nextInt(5) +1);
     } while (y == g2);But when I use the variables in the next part of the program, sometimes it works, but sometimes 2 of them are the same. Sometimes even 4...
Can someone help me please?

Select statement for JDBC receiver synch scenario for capturing random value from ECC portal

Dear Experts,
I am working on ECC <----> SAP-PO 7.31 <----> JDBC synchronous scenario. I am clear about the config part except the Select statement. I will be
capturing 2 random values from the portal i.e. VendId and VendName in ECC to get the vendor details like Vendor Country, Vendor Status, Vendor Contact , Vendor Address etc from JDBC vendor table/view VENDETAIL.
What would be the select statement to capture the random values for ECC portal? My select statement would look some thing like this..
Select f1,f2,f3,f4 from table VENDETAIL where key1 = "VendId" and "VendName"
Please suggest if the above select statement works for the above scenario...
Regards
Rebecca

Hi Rebecca,
Your statement should work fine.
Please see the statement we use below.
SELECT eT_cashier, eT_proc_yn, eT_proc_date FROM eTest WHERE eb_proc_yn = 'N'
Just remember to update the change indicator so that you dont duplicate your records.
UPDATE eTest SET eb_proc_yn = 'Y' WHERE eb_proc_yn = 'N'.

Build array from random values via ethernet

Am trying to save data that comes from ehternet ((random values (modbus protocol)) in an array.
I am using an index array.....but all the values are the same!! How can I sort them??
It functions correctly with a for loop with random numbers build.......but it doesn't work with the data from ethernet.
Can someone please help me??

You just read the same shared variable 100 times within a few nanoseconds. Apparently, the variable gets modified less often on the other end.
chendel wrote:

If all array values are the same, they are already sorted.
You need to rethink your code. maybe you can make the shared variable an array and write the entire random array on the other end, the read it out once.

How to get both, the ResultSet and Output (return value) from Oracle Stored Procedure

Hi! I am doing a conversion from MSSQL to Oracle with C++ and MFC ODBC. Any comment is appreciated!! I have Oracle 8i and Oracle ODBC 8.1.6 installed.
My question is how to retrieve the return value AND ALSO the resultSet at the same time by using Oracle function without modifying my souce codes (except puttting mypackage. string infron of my procedure name, see below).
-- My source code in C++ with MSSQL ....
sqlStr.Format("{? = call ListOfCustomers(%i)}", nNameID);
RcOpen = CustomerList.Open(CRecordset::forwardOnly, sqlStr, CRecordset::readOnly );
Where CustoemrList is a Crecordset object...
IN DoFieldExchange(CFieldExchange* pFX) I have ...
//{{AFX_FIELD_MAP(CQOSDB_Group)
pFX->SetFieldType(CFieldExchange::outputColumn);
RFX_Long(pFX, T("Name"), mCustoemrName);
//}}AFX_FIELD_MAP
// output parameter
pFX->SetFieldType( CFieldExchange::outputParam );
RFX_Int( pFX, T("IndexCount"), mCustomerNumber);
-- m_CustomerNumber is where i store the return value!!!
-- In Oracle Version, i have similar codes with ...
sqlStr.Format("{? = call mypackage.ListOfCustomers(%i)}", nNameID);
RcOpen = CustomerList.Open(CRecordset::forwardOnly, sqlStr, CRecordset::readOnly );
-- I have oracle package/Body codes as following...
create or replace package mypackage
as
type group_rct is ref cursor;
Function listgroups(
nameID NUMBER ,
RC1 IN OUT Mypackage.group_rct ) return int;
end;
Create or replace package body mypackage
as
Function listgroups(
NameID NUMBER ,
RC1 IN OUT Mypackage.group_rct )return int
IS
BEGIN
OPEN RC1 FOR SELECT Name
from Customer
WHERE ID = NameIDEND ListGroups;
END
return 7;
END listgroups;
END MyPackage;
Ive simplified my codes a bit....
null

yes, it is exactly what i want to do and I am using Oracle ODBC driver.
I tried using procedure with 1 OUT var fo numeric value and the other IN OUT ref cursor var instead of function, but error occurs when I called it from the application. It give me a memory ecxception error!!
sqlStr.Format("{? = call ListOfCustomers(%i)}", nNameID);
RcOpen = CustomerList.Open(CRecordset::forwardOnly, sqlStr, CRecordset::readOnly );
it seems to me that the ? marker var is making all the trouble... can you please give me any more comment on this?? thanks!

XML Report Excel Output exponential value issue

Hello All,
While working on XML Report we need to show output in excel format. One of the out put value is “00110E001”. but when displaying in excel is shows "1.00E+0" and default behavior of MS Excel is if the any number data contains “E” then excel will convert those records in exponential format. But our client required those data which are present in database i.e. “00110E001”.
Kindly share your valuable inputs.
Thanks in advance
Thanks,

Hi Uday,
You are making number as a string, by adding a character :) , so it will be displayed as string with space and not as number.

How can I start a loop before the DAQ Assistand outputs a value?

Hi everybody,
I created a VI (See attachment) to Measure the speed of a turning wheel. (A optical detector outputs pulses which are proportional to the speed) The DAQ Assistant measures the frequency and the values are written to a log file. To log every 100 ms the value into the table, there is a while loop with should be executet 10 times a second.
The first question:
I want to start measurement as soon as I press "RUN". In fact, my VI first begins to run and log data when the wheel turns and the frequency is not "0". But I want to log data too, if the speed is "0". How can I programm that in Labview?
The second problem:
Labview writes not continuely the values: Sometimes 7 values a second, sometimes 11 values.... (I can see that because i log the time too). But if the programm runs for some seconds its getting better and better.
How can I force Labview to run the loop exactly tacted? Is my Computer too slow? Or is my method to log continuely data simply wrong? I am relative new in Labview and would be thankful in getting help.

I would say right off hand from what you describe that the issue is not related to computer speed, but choice of operating system. Windows is not a deterministic operating system - this means you can't count on how long it will take to do anything.
