Best books to get up to speed with LabView 7?

I am presently looking for advice as to the best book(s) to get up to
speed with LabView 7 (Best beginner's book, best intermediate book,
best advanced book). Any books to advoid? While I prefer hardcopy, I
would be open to the best online resources as well.

I would suggest if you have the opportunity to take the basics 1 and 2 classes offered by NI and select integrators. Otherwise there are books by Bishop and Johnson that will give you a great start with LV. If you need any info on classes please let me know. hope this helps.

    Wait for iPad 3 and buy as many "gb" as you can afford.

  • How to get higher clock speeds with OC Genie?

    I am 100% new to overclocking and I just built my new pc...
    Bios version 1.5
    Intel I7 860 Cooled with Corsair H50 Push-Pull
    MSI P55 GD65 non USB3
    2x2gb Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600(Running at 1333 for some reason)
    Zotac Geforce 9800GTX+ 512mb
    Antec Trupower Trio 550w
    2x WD Caviar Blue 160gb in Raid0
    When I hit the OC Genie button it gives me 3.54GHz. Is there anyway to get to 4.0GHz with my setup.
    Have not changed any settings myself all was done with the OC Genie button
    My temps are around 42' with fans on lowest settings

    OK, so you are able to set your CPU voltage manually. You need to consider that the auto voltages will compensate only up to a certain OC level, after which the user usually has to do manual adjustments. This auto compensation differs for each hardware combination. As HU16E suggested, try low VDroop and see if it helps. The other alternative is a BIOS flash, or manual voltage settings.
    I tried low vdroop but it didn´t make any difference. But it´s ok, i can set the vcore manually but i was just investigating if i could get the best of both worlds with the powersavings auto vcore offers during idle

  • Trouble getting consistent voltage readings with LabVIEW using a 1102/B

    Here's the situation:
    I have an optical sensor with reflector that I'm using these to determine the velocity of a rotating wheel. (actually it's a spool of cable)
    no beam reflection = 0 Vdc (actually it's floating from 0 - 2 volts)
    beam reflection = 10Vdc
    This is hooked up to an 1102/B channel configured for reading voltage in MAX
    Now, everything is fine at slower speeds.  The trouble is when the velocity increases...
    I'm using a DAQmx read VI in LV 7.1 to read the virtual channel I set.  It's in a while loop, outputting to a chart.
    The reads are missing reflections at higher speeds, but only seems to happen in LabVIEW.  The cable needs to be letting out at 2 ft/sec.
    Now, the sensor has an indicator light that says when it's seeing the reflected beam.  When I spin the wheel by hand (faster than the necessary speed) the sensor says it's picking up the reflectors (2 at 180 deg apart).  When I open MAX, and the test panel for that channel, I see that I have to increase the "sampes to read" to about 5k and the "rate" to 5kHz.   At that point, MAX  sees every beam reflection as well.
    Within LV, it still misses...  even with the loop delay set to 5ms.   I'm hesitant to go much lower with the delay... 
    The final destination for this reading function will be in a fairly large VI with a lot of serial communication to external instruments.
    Anyone have any advice?
    Thanks!
    Chuck

    Hi Chuck,
    Looks like you are configuring a DAQmx task/global channel
    My suggestion would be why not use any continous voltage read examples you will find in the examples shipped with LabVIEW?
    Go to examples>>Hardware input output>>DAQmx>>Analog measurements>>Voltage in this folder find and use the example VI cont-acq-volt-int-clk.VI ( named something like that ) read its documentation to know how to use it
    Or find the VI here
    any doubts, do get back

  • Best book for getting started with FCE

    I upgraded to FCE from iMovie thinking that I would be able to just hop right in and well, I have been able to do so, but I have the feeling that I'm not using the full power of the application. In fact, I know this to be the case. I'm getting the same feeling I got about minute 90 of using Photoshop.
    I'd love to have a book that can teach me the basics of FCE. I'm currently authoring a lot of screencasts for my job and I'd like to be able to give them a high-gloss sheen.
    The amazon reviews seem to be all over the place, but it seems like the one everyone seems to settle on ( sometimes grudgingly ) is the Apple-blessed one by Weynand ( even if it seems to be dated against the state of the application ).
    Can anyone offer advice?

    I would second Al's suggestions to try one of Tom Wolsky's books and also take a look at the FCE forum.
    Regarding not using the full power of FCE, I don't think anyone does.
    It's like climbing one of those mountains where you seem to be reaching the summit only to discover, when you get there, that there is yet another peak ahead !

  • My Mac book pro gets to the screen with the apple logo with a spinning loading symbol and an actual loading bar underneath it and when the loading bar gets to about 1/2 - 3/4 the computer shuts down how do I fix this?

    Need it fixed asap

    Unfortunately for that it's usually not a quick fix, unless it's a stuck firmware update.
    Hold the power button down to force a hardware shutdown and boot again, if it appears again then it's a bigger problem.
    The bigger problem is that the fsck drive repair at boot can't fix the problem with the drive.
    You will need to consider your off machine backup situtation if you have one or not and how recently backed up are those files.
    If you have no backups or desperatly need to get files off and willing to possibly spend some money to do so (a powered external drive + even $100 recovery software), then it depends upon your computer skill level. If not very good then your seeking the services of a local PC/Mac tech, Apple doesn't do data recovery.
    Once you have a copy of your files off the machine, then your looking at a erase and reinstall of OS X, programs and files from backup.
    If you have a recently updated TimeMachine you can restore from that.
    If you have a bootable clone, then it's easy. Just hold option/alt key and boot from it, grab your files, erase the drive and reverse clone your problems away.

  • How to get slow playback speed with video

    Hi. Newbie to the forums. hope you can help.
    Can I put a control in flash that allows users to alter the
    playback speed of a video clip? I am making a tutorial (with sound)
    and I want the students to be able to run the video in slow motion
    and then gradually increase the speed as they become more
    confident.
    Any ideas?
    Regards
    Matthew

    Thanks. I checked out the web site, and although it only refers to FCP, I assume "Film Effects" is compatible with FCE HD v3 as well.
    I appreciate the info.

  • Only getting 25% download speed with WRTU54G-TM Connected

    Just noticed that my bandwidth has significantly decreased in the past 24 hours with my WRTU54G-TM connected.  I was doing some heavy downloading, so I'm not sure if the router has recently adjusted/limited the bandwidth to allow for adequate bandwidth for VOIP.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    With the WRTU54G-TM
    Without

    It would/should only be limiting the speed if you're in a VOIP call.
    Check the MTU setting and change it lower - see other threads on this in this section of the bulletin board. 

  • USB to 232 how to get device instance id with labview

    I'm using chip CP2102(UART to USB) to communicate my board with PC.
    On PC, i installed the USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port driver so it shows a virtual COM Port on the PC.
    In the device manager of the PC, it can read the Device Instance ID(USB\VID_10C4&PIC_EA60\0001) of the usb port as well as the virtual COM port number(COM11).
    But in labview, i can only get the COM port number when i try to find the resource. Even if in MAX, i can only get the COM port number.
    I need to use one PC to control several boards, so i need to recongnize the boards with the Device Instance ID.
    Is there some way to get the Device Instance ID of the virtual COM port in my labview program?
    Thanks a lot.
    Jason

    We did similar sort of thing with FT232 chip based devices.
    But we used our PC Port as the basis of detecting the devices rather than the device itself.
    FTDI has drivers to address devices based on PC USB port number.
    This could be of bit help as well.
    http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/ProgramGuides/D2XX_Programmer's_Guide(FT_000071).pdf
    The LabVIEW Drivers are available on their website.
    You might want to do something similar if you don't want to go ahead with FTDI chip.

  • My book order gets stuck with the message 'your book order is not complete'

    hi,
    while trying to place my first order for a book, I get the message above, with the message that the book order is still being sent to the publisher.
    during the book submission, I went through what appeared to be a re-registration (although, using the same details, the right information seemed to be picked up in later stages of the process.)
    I am using Aperture 3 on Lion (10.7.1)
    oddly, I can't get into my 'order status' part of the Account part of the Apple store either.
    i'm not sure if something is incomplete, or what!
    anyone have any ideas, or has experienced this in the past?
    regards,
    Nick

    It seems that closing the application gives you the opportunity to cancel an 'in progress' book submission - the only way that I have come across. 
    Going in again and re-submitting has *thus far* done what is expected - I am now waiting for my confirmation email. 
    The address change screens are a bit of a mess, but that should not really make a huge difference if you are not having to change addresses - tabbing around the fields makes some sense of it. (apple, you may well want to fix this - contact me if screen shots would help)

  • Where can I found hardware to get analog signal from VCR and work with labview and then sample this signal in very high frequency?

    I am trying to build a Digital Video Recorder using Labview. The problem is that I found that Labview sample the signal in the order of milisecond. I wanted it to be in the order of microseconds. Also I am looking for a cheap Hardware solution if it is possible

    Your question does not make a lot of sense to me, so I will just point out a few things.
    1. The PCI-1411 works well with VCR signals. It has a BNC connector as well as a S-Video connector. The price is under $1000, so it is fairly reasonable. The amount of time you save getting it to work with LabVIEW is worth any extra cost.
    2. The PCI-1411 is sampling three colors at 30 frames per second, with an image resolution of 640x480. This is the best resolution you are likely to get from a VCR signal. The sampling rate for each byte in the image is about 28 MB/sec. This is in the microsecond range that you are looking for, I think. If you are only interested in the raw signal instead of the image, you could look at the high speed digitizing boards NI sell
    s that acquire at higher rates.
    If this information isn't really what you were looking for, perhaps you could clarify your question.

  • 802.11ac wifi speeds with the BCM4360 chip and broadcom-wl driver

    Hello,
    First, some preliminary information:
    I'm currently in need of a wireless adapter for my desktop computer. I recently got an Asus RT66U router, so I'm looking for a wireless adapter that supports the 802.11ac standard. The best candidate I've come across is the Asus PCE-AC68, and PCIe based adapter that uses Broadcom's BCM4360 chip, the same wifi chip used in the Late 2013 retina Macbook Pro. It is worth noting that every available 802.11ac compatible PCIe based wireless adapter seemingly uses this chip (I've heard of people having success with 802.11ac speeds using Qualcomm Atheros based wifi adapters and the ath10k driver, but there are no Atheros-based PCIe wireless adapters on the market, as far as I can tell).
    The Broadcom BCM4360 chip is not supported by the b43 driver, and I believe it also isn't supported by the brcmsmac driver, since it isn't listed here.
    This leaves me with the proprietary broadcom-wl driver, which is listed as supporting the BCM4360.
    What I'm interested in learning is how a wireless adapter based on the BCM4360 will perform using the broadcom-wl driver--I don't want to buy a wifi adapter that won't work at its full capacity, after all.
    I have found user reports here and here from April 2014 stating that the driver runs BCM4360 based adapters in 802.11a/b/g mode and doesn't allow 802.11n and 802.11ac connections to be made. On the other hand, this user (in a post from June) states that he managed to get ac speeds in Arch simply by changing his router settings. Unfortunately, he doesn't detail what changes he made.
    I'm hopeful that the driver was simply updated between April and June and that now BCM4360-based wifi adapters can run at 802.11ac speeds, but as it's closed source, I can't check the commits, and have not been able to find any discussion more recent than what I linked above.
    Has anyone had success getting 802.11ac speeds with BCM4360-based wifi adapters and the broadcom-wl driver?

    I am currently using the BCM4360 (rev 03) in a MacBook Pro. You are correct in that it does not work with the b43 driver. It mostly works with the proprietary wl driver. I am using the broadcom-wl AUR package. I can confirm that 802.11n works. I am connected right now at 324Mbps (3 .11n spatial streams). I have not tried 802.11ac yet. I will soon, so I will report back.
    As for the caveats, it doesn't like 802.1X networks very much. To get it working using wpa_supplicant, I have to reload the wl module. Sometimes when I reload it, it comes back as wlan0 instead of wlp3s0. No idea why. Yet, when I tried it with Network Manager on an Ubuntu live environment, it worked fine. YMMV. It always works fine for me at home on a WPA2-PSK network. If I can pin down something with more consistency, I'll let you know.
    For reference:
    $ lspci -vnn | grep Network
    03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)
    According to kernel.org, BCM4360 could be either 14e4:4360 or 14e4:43a0

  • HT4260 I have an AirPort Extreme and a linksys router. What is the best way to get 6-8 wired connections with ac speeds?

    I have an AirPort Extreme and a linksys router. What is the best way to get 6-8 wired connections with ac speeds?
    Appreciate your assistance.

    The answer depends on whether the AirPort Extreme is your main router....or...the Linksys device is your main router.
    In either case, the two devices must connect together using a wired Ethernet connection using CAT5e or CAT6 cabling.
    Any version of the AirPort Extreme produced within the last 5 years will have Gigabit Ethernet ports. In order to get the same speeds from the Linksys router, it will also need to be Gigabit Ethernet capable.
    If you need additional Ethernet ports, you will need to add a Gigabit Ethernet switch to either the AirPort Extreme or Linksys router.
    It is assumed that your other devices connecting to the AirPort Extreme and Linksys router will also have Gigabit Ethernet capability.
    Not sure why you mention "ac" speeds in your post. This relates to wireless connections, not wired.
