Auto-range meter w Scale.MarkerVals[]

Hi. I am building a simple program but cannot figure it out.
I have a meter with auto-range that can be adjusted automatically as I adjusted the knob.
Also I have a colour limits that can be seen on the meter. The reason I used colour limits is because the operator
can adjust the knob without eye strains.
Here's an attached.
Note:- Auto range and scale.markervals[] cannot used together otherwise the meter cannot be read.
Pls save it as version 7 so that I can open it without delay.
Cheers
Clement

With one property, you're setting scale.maximum and with the other, you're setting what the markers should be. Setting the last marker to 50 is the same as setting the scale.maximum and since they are two different values, you see the dial bouncing around. Instead of wiring a constant to the last marker, wire it to the same point where you calculate the scale max.

Meter's scale color

Hi anyone who can programtically change the property of the meter, Scale.MarkerVals?
I could not find ways to pass the values to control the colour range properly.. I have attached it for you.
That's how it works. After the colour ranges for the meter has been set. The again the colour range
has to adjusted with the new numbers, using the replace array subset function, on these index elements 2 and 3.

Ok - let's try..
Each color range has a left and a right border. So you have to specify these - for each color range two elements in an array.
I modified your vi and activated the "Interpolate colors" flag.
Just have a look at it.
Hope it helps.

What is the mathematical function associated to linear, map ranges, polynomial, table scale?

What is the mathematical function associated to linear, map ranges, polynomial, table scale? I'd like to use the scale of daqmx for use with other types of data.

yes, refer to the help, but only found information on the first option "linear". what I intend to is to be able to climb a number, using one of the existing scales, but don't be that mathematical function is necessary to use.

TT Dynamic range meter

Hi Anyone out there know how to insert the TT dyanmic range meter into a new Waveform track (not mutitrack) pre post. I can get it only to work after the recording and I wish to monitor ithe dynamic range before. (same question applies to also any effects) Also anyway to monitor the input signal on waveform (level meters) before actually recording

You won't get this to work in Waveform view - there are no input options on this at all. You can monitor the input signal levels by either double-clicking on the meters, or right-clicking on them and selecting the meter input option.

How to build an auto- range measurement?

I use a DAQ card PCI MIO 16E4 . I want to build an autorange measurement. My input signal is from nA to mA. I am a LabVIEW user, pelase help me.

hanh and Sean:
I have been thinking about this and it does not appear trivial. A nA to mA span is 6 orders of magnitude. WIth a single 1K resistor (value arbitrarily picked) this current range will generate 1uV to 1V. Not an ideal situation at the lower end for good resolution. Using a 10K is still 10uV to 10V, again 10uV is just a few bits of full scale max input. I think a better approach could be to switch various ranges of resistors (i.e. 1Mohm, 100Kohm, 10Kohm, 1Kohm) in circuit (via digital outputs driving a circuit to drive DIP reed relays) to bump the voltage up to get good resolution for whatever the current is. 'Autorange' could be applied by setting DAQ input level programmitically (do not know if this can be done with this card) at highest sensitivity, looking if overrange, and if so then switch to next lower value resistor. Repeat as needed until in a good usable voltage range.
Of course you need precision resistors whose actual value is known for optimal accuracy. And can the circuit supplying the current provide the voltage burden (voltage drop across resistor)? Will sense resistor load down circuit, etc....
If it were me, and the application constraints and accuracy demanded it, I would rather buy a higher end Fluke, Agilent, or Keithly meter with a GPIB interface.
Or, would a PCI-4070 suffice?
I am not trying to shoot down the use of the MIO 16E4, but without further details like accuracy, is it AC or DC, measurement thoughput, etc, I am pointing to some potential issues you may come across.

Modify range of x-scale value in excel

Hi
I'm stuck once more with this excel-activeX connection.
I'd like to modify the range of the values that are chosen for the x-scale of a graph.
How can I do that.
I know how to change the format and so on but couldn't find the data range.
Thanks for an help

Hi Yves,
I reccomend that you look at following link:

Auto Input & Meta Data

Is it possible to use meta data being attached to an image with Auto Import as part of the filename? As an example can I use Job identifier, the date and time?

This works ok on a Mac. What is your OS? In what metadata fields are you experiencing the problem? I believe in the Metadata panel under Catalog Preferences, "Offer suggestions from recently entered values" controls this. Is it checked?

How to I maintain a meter's scale position when resizing the meter?

I'd like to be able to programmatically resize a meter and have its scale's size and position be predicitable. This is not the case. I've attached a VI that illustrates the problem.
I thought that keeping the meter's aspect ration of 4:3 would suffice, as in my attached example, but even that doesn't help.

meter_resizing_problem.vi ‏19 KB

I don't know the solution yet but this is what i found.
wiring the scale position will make it even worse. see attachment.
Scale bounds will change after every run, but you aren't able to make it write so it has no use.
The amount of distortion is a bit variable to the amount of samples the for loop creates.
The scale bound is random after each run.
I guess this a buf of labview, but I don't know for sure

Auto range control & comparison of low numbers

I am trying to create a control function that changes scale each time the knob passes from high to low index or low to high index. This works well except when the number gets to the range 0.001 to .01 then It sticks. It would appear that the compare does to output true when the inputs are 90.000E-3. acopy of the contol funtion in a stand alone vi is attached
Solved!

Your fundamental problem is that you are performing an equality comparison on floats. This is incorrect when dealing with computers. You must, instead, perform an "approximately equal" based on the machine's epsilon value (found in the Numeric palette) as shown below:
Also:
The Stop button should be placed inside the "Value change" event for it so that the button can be read and its value reset.
You do not need to use a reference constant to access the scale control. The event case provides that already as the "CtrlRef" parameter.

Chart options: Y axis scale

Hi,
I created a bar chart for a report that simly displays the count for each distinct value of a field. I would want the Y scale (which displays the count) to only present integer values (its a count, so it's obvious there can't be any non-integer values). Currently it's set to auto select the range and the number of divisions, for which the range it's ok but the divisions don't always come out as all integers. From what I can see, the only way to do this would be to set the min to 0, max to the max count on the report (which is normaly what the auto range does), and the number of divisions as the max count minus one. I don't really see any other way. Apparently there's no way to do this dynamically (like in a formula), and I don't think I can use static range values. Is there any way to do this? I just want to confirm what I know and see if there is any other way to do it.
Also, this is probably not the forum to post this, but just in case, is there any way to do this programatically in code without needing extra libraries or extra tools?
Thanks,
Diego

First of all, by static and dynamic data, do you mean the options for the chart?
Also, I don't want to display the max count on the chart. I would just like to use it on the options for the chart's Y axis as the max value, although I don't think I need to, since the auto scale already does that. I think the only thing I should need is set the number of divisions to display on the Y axis. For example, if the chart has two bars, one for lets say color red, and one for color yellow, and lets say on the data there were 4 red and 6 yellow. So the chart will have two vertical bars, one for red going from 0 up to 4, and one for yellow, going from 0 up to 6. The chart will automatically make the range on the Y scale go from 0 up to 6, but it might make the divisions at say 1.5, 3, and 4.5. But I would like it to not use decimal values for those divisions, instead only divide the axis on integer values, like on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. To do that, from the options the chart gives me, I can do it by setting a specific number of divisions on the axis (in this case it would be 5 divisions). I just want to know if there is any way I can set that in a formula or something, of if it just has to be the same value for every report (without having to change it directly on the Crystal Reports editor, because the reports get generated automatically with different sets of data).
Thanks,
Diego

Scale on Y-axis of line chart is not correct

I have a simple line chart that has the values of 150, 0, 122, 0, 0 and 0 that is charting fine. However, the scale on the Y-axis is not starting at 0. It starts at 100, giving the impression my 0's are 100's. I have other charts, with other values, that are doing the same thing. My chart set to ignore cells at end of range. The scale setting is set to Auto (Y) Axis, Y axis scale is linear.
I'll admit I'm pretty new with this software, but I'm not seeing any setting that I have wrong.

Hi Gregory,
unfortunately, it's a bug. I filed it (ADAPT01136251) and we will fix it ASAP. For now I can suggest only to switch to manual scale or to set one of your zero values to be something like 0.000000001 instead.
Sorry about the bug,
Margaret

How to fix a range of values in y-axis

hi,
We are using the column charts in the design studio 1.3 to display the sales information. In the Y- Axis the max/ Min values are 5000/100000000, we want to fix the range between each scales so that the number of the scale can be defined and the graph will also looks clear. Please let me know is there option to achieve this.
Thank You,
Palani

Have you looked at the min / max scaling property of the chart - see picture below:

Range checking in Schema

Can schema allows auto range checking?
Or do I need to specifiy the max and min range in the schema and check it in my code?
Thanks
Eva

Hi Eva,
I didnt understand your question very clearly. Maybe what you are asking is that is it possible to automatically check the range entered in the XML file by its schema file.
The answer to this is yes. There are 2 attributes which we can set... maxValue and minValue.
Minvalue specifies the low end of the range of possible values. Maxvalue specifies the high end. Minvalue must be less than or equal to maxvalue .
An Example qould be
<scalar digits="4" decimals="3" minvalue="-9999" maxvalue="8888" minexclusive="true"/>
I hope this helps.

4072 DMM Capacitance out of range yields -inf or NaN

Anyone,
I'm trying to read capacitance from our NI-4072, but if the value is out of the range limit (as confirmed by using the softpanel interface), the data returned is either NaN or -inf. If someone knows how to change the Range setting to 1nF or other than 300pF, I believe my problem would be fixed. The documentation specifically states the Auto-Range feature is NOT supported for capacitance, so that's no help.
I've also performed the open cable compensations:
dmmSession.CapacitanceAndInductance.CableCompensationType = DmmCableCompensationType.Open;
dmmSession.CapacitanceAndInductance.PerformOpenCableCompensation( out x, out y );
but get the same data when reading the measurements.
Thanks,
Steve

I've copied fro the example in DMM projects which measures capacitance, and I appear to be able to change the "CapacitanceRange" value by calling the Configure method (twice, as the value does not change the first time, bug?).
I've brought the range up to 0.0001 and still can only read Infinity.
