Best way to control voltage with my code?

I need to be able to control current and voltage of a power supply. What would be the best way to implement this with my code? I realize that I need to use a DAQmx Start and Stop task. I *think* I would like the task to start when the user runs the program. The voltage and current should be 0 when I start it, or a really low number.
Currently, the program I am working off of using TraditionalDAQ. It uses 'AO Write One Update.vi' to update the voltage and current. 
How can I use DAQmx to achieve the same? Is it possible to also have the DAQmx code in an event structure in the same way?
Can I do this in my event structure, in a new event? The code below shows my code. There are two loops, the bottom one handles acquisition and logging. The top one handles the events.

There are an excellent series of NI Tutorials on DAQmx.  Not that they are easy to find, but start here:  DAQmx White Papers.  This is an especially useful White Paper:  The Top 10 DAQmx Functions.
Something that also helps a lot is to configure your device using MAX (and use MAX to run it to be sure it is working correctly).  Once you have it configured, save it as a Task, which encapsulates all of the "picky details" (such as channel names/numbers, sampling rates, clock sources, etc.).  When you go to write your code, simply right-click on the Start Task VI and create a constant, expand the Constant (which should show you MAX's Tasks), and choose the Task you just created.  No need for numerous confusing DAQmx Configuration VIs.

    What is the best way to stream sports with apple TV

    Your question is a little too broad. Hard to know what sports you are talking about.
    If you have a newer Mac, you can use airplay to mirror anything on your Mac to your apple tv. Or use the ESPN app.
    But a lot of sports just can't be streamed as they are available, though I bet this year sees a lot of new livestreams on sports on YouTube or Ustream.

  • The Best Way to engage InDesign with InCopy

    Hello Mr./Ms.
    I have some question about collaborating between InDesign with InCopy. My question is which one the best way to engage InDesign with InCopy, the way number one or number two?
    Usually, I make assignment first in InDesign, and I put that file (.inca) on a server. So the editor can open the inca file from server. Instead of Editor, I take the incx file from server.
    The Editor directly open Indd File from server, so I'm not necessary to create assignment file.
    I hope someone can help to solve this my problem. Thank you very much for attention.
    note: What server and network requirement for best result InDesign and InCopy workflow?
    Best Regards,
    Bambang Damayanto

    I respectfully disagree; I think assignments are in most cases (not all) more trouble that they're worth.  For your local work, continue w/INDD files only. It just makes things simpler.
    When an editor wants to work on something off-site, the designer can make an assignment on the fly for them.  It could even be the entire document as one large assignment. Since the stories are already exported, you just need to make the assignment (Create New Assignment from the Assignment panel menu) and the drag/drop the linked stories to that assignment. Other people can still open the INDD file but they won't be able to edit the stories that were packaged for the remote editor.

  • Best way to export data with r.t. prompts and have dense dim mbrs on rows?

    Hi All-
    What is the best way to export data with Run time prompts out of Essbase?
    One thought was to use Business Rules with run time variables and DATAEXPORT command, but I came across at least one limitation where I cannot have months (part of dense Time Periods dimension) on rows.
    I have only two dense dimensions: Accounts and Time Periods and I need both of these on rows. This would come handy when user enter Start and End month and year for data to be exported e.g. If start period is Feb 2010 and end is Jan 2011, I get data for all months in 2010 and 2011.

  • Best way to control selected plug in parameters?

    Hi all,
    I've got an M-Audio ProjectMix I/O which Logic sees as a Mackie Control. I'm looking for the best way to control plug in parameters. I know I can navigate through the plug in parameter pages on my PMix, but what I want is a screenset that has each needed parameter assigned to a fader or something.
    Can it be done using folders? Any ideas?
    Thanks a bunch!

    I think I figured it out.
    Use a folder, make a track for each parameter I want to control (or click that arrow to make another instance), then on my PMix I have to click the track view button a few times to view my plugins.
    Cheers.

  • Best way to bundle JavaHelp with application

    What is the best way to bundle JavaHelp with an application....
    At present I have to run the application that uses JavaHelp as follows
    java -classpath ;lib/jhall.jar HelpMenu
    Is there a better way? so that when the application is moved to a client machine the classpath to the javaHelp jhall.jar does not have to be supplied as above?
    Cheers :)

    If you don't want to specify the classpath you can
    1> either create a batch/shell script with lauches the app with the appropriate classpath
    2> You jar your app and specify the classpath in your jars's MANIFEST.MF file like this.
    Main-Class: main class name which will launch the app
    Class-Path: jhall.jar
    The above entries assume jhall.jar is in the same dir as your main jar. You can put more jars in the classpath above by separating them with space.
    With this the app can be just lauched by typing: java -jar filaname.jar

    DB2 Connect version 8.2 is no longer supported by IBM (support ended April 30, 2009, see http://www.ibm.com/software/data/support/lifecycle/). As far as I know, DB2 Connect is communicating through DRDA, which is a platform-independent protocol supported by all DB2 platforms, so any DB2 Connect client should be able to talk to any DB2 database. However, there may be limitations on the supported release combinations.

  • Best way to control/play shared library with iPhone

    Hi there,
    My iTunes library syncs with my ATV and I have set up my wife's iPhone (I don't have one yet but will get a Touch once they up the storage) to act as a remote with the Remote app.
    What's the best way to set up/share my wife's music library on the ATV? I know I can set up her library on the ATV and access through 'Shared Music', but it looks as though the Remote app on the iPhone can't search, scroll, display her playlists etc in the same way that it does for the 'main' library that the ATV has stored locally.
    Is the best way to have the iPhone Remote set to control the iTunes library (rather than the ATV) and have iTunes on the Mac set to Apple TV for the speakers?
    I'd prefer to be able to keep all the adjustments to within just the iPhone Remote rather than give my wife a list of instructions across a number of devices (I know I'll get a call in the middle of the night when I'm overseas from my wife asking me why the iMac isn't play her music :))
    Thanks,

    As far as I'm aware, and certainly the case when I investigated the system a few months ago, the advantage Sonos has is being able to play different music in different rooms from the same iTunes library and Mac, and also offer streaming Internet radio.
    So with Sonos you can play kiddie's music in the front room, Dad's house in the kitchen and set the radio to wake you up in the bedroom he following morning.
    With iTunes/AirTunes one is rather more restricted to one source playing one song to whichever speakers you have selected. I think.
    True, if you look at it as the only source of content, I was looking at it from a typical set up scenario, you seem to have two itunes libraries and an tv, so you could have different music in three rooms using your iphone as a central control, I have more sources than rooms so a sonos wouldn't do anymore than my present set up can do. If one is starting from scratch the sonos seems quite attractive, however for me it would require an investment of round about $ 5,000 to achieve something I more or less already have

  • Best way to control and run multiple (up to 20) processes independantly in LV

    Hi all, 
    I'm trying to build an application in LV to independantly control and run multiple (up to 20) processes, ie, it should be able to start and stop any of the processes at any given time. What would the best way to code for this? Off the top of my head would be to use a unique notifier to control each of the process, but I'm thinking that the code upkeep may be a handful with this number of notifiers being defined. Are there better ways of doing this?
    Appreciate any help and insight on this.Thanks a bunch in advance!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I forgot some more important questions:
    How large is your development group?
    How much "discipline" do you want to program into the Process Commands framework? For instance, is it OK for any VI to command a process into a certain state, or should your program generate a broken wire or run-time error if a command is sent from a non-authorized source?
    Where do your needs fall on this spectrum: simplicity that gets the job done and the product out the door and will probably not need much maintenance or upgrading, or flexible framework that will likely undergo multiple upgrades or fall into the hands of multiple developers?

  • Best way to control graphics synchronized to video cue points

    Hello,
    I've recently completed (well, 'completed' is a strong word)
    a phase one implementation of a synchronized video presentation
    using After Effects and Flash. The basic idea driving the
    synchronization of cue points to motion graphics revolves around
    creating a listener in the following fashion:
    var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
    listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
    // Put any code you like here
    trace("Cue point name: " +
    eventObject.info.name);
    my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("cuePoint",
    listenerObject);
    and then using the cue point name to play a variety of
    movieclips at the appropriate time in the presentation.
    The video presentation had four sections, each of which could
    be arbitratrily browsed to at any point in the presentation, so it
    was important that the the movieclips did not need to play in order
    and that they could be interrupted at any point without an visual
    confusion.
    I dealt with this two ways (I am sure these are not the best
    ways, which is why I am writing this post):
    First, every single movieclip was already on the stage from
    the outset, stopped on the first frame, with the alpha property set
    to 0 (based on Aran Balkan
    http://aralbalkan.com/444).
    The final frame of each clip had a gotoAndStop(1) action on it so
    that when a clip finished playing it 'reset' itself. I also wrote a
    "rewind" function which pretty much did the same
    thing whenever a user clicked on one of the navigational tabs.
    For a first iteration, this worked pretty well, and it
    impressed enough people in my organization (university) that now
    the President wants to deliver a similar message. It seemed prudent
    at this point to ask a general question about best practices in
    this area. I am working with the full Master Collection suite, and
    can target later versions of the Flash Player (I believe I can use
    AS 3.0, although I will have to learn it). One thing that I am
    hoping any pointers you guys might have will cover is this:
    How do you handle starting/stopping/pausing of the video and
    also make sure any currently playing graphical assets also
    start/stop/pause on cue? I was thinking of setting a variable on
    the second frame of each movieclip, something along the lines of
    'nowPlaying = this;' and then resetting that to null at the end of
    the clip and in the rewind function, then using that variable to
    control the currently playing clip (would have to bu just one, I
    imagine).
    But there has got to be a better way. I have some down time
    to do research and to experiment, but it is going to be very high
    profile when it rolls around, so I thought I'd send out some
    feelers.
    Has anyone done anything like this? Seen a better way? Etc .
    Thanks so much.

    Best practice is to keep one single file as long as humanly possible.
    In this case, you "branched" a version for another format; I'd suggest you don't edit that any further (apart from the formatting stuff you mentioned), but inform your client this version is to be worked on. Work on your "real" version until it's really really done, and only then make other versions.
    It's a different story (no pun intended) if the transition between the two versions can be automated; that way you'd still only work on the 'real' version, but then you could generate the other with every edit you make -- you should still not be doing any work in the dumbed-down version.

  • The best way to get help with logic

    I was posting in a thread on support for logic which appears to have been deleted. anyway, what I was going to say I think is useful info for people, so I'm going to post it anyway. to the mods - it doesn't contain any speculation about policies or anything like that. just an explanation of my views on the best way to deal with issues people have with logic, which I think is a valuable contribution to this forum.
    I think there's a need for perspective. when you buy an apple product you get 90 days of free phone support to get everything working nice and neat. you can call them whenever, and you could actually keep them on the phone all day if you wanted, making them explain to you how to copy a file, install microsoft office, or any number of little questions no matter how simple - what is that red button thingy in my window for?.. on top of that, you've got a 14 day dead on arrival period (or 10 days I can't remember) in which if your machine has any kind of hardware fault whatsoever it's exchanged for a totally new one, no questions asked. a lot of people complain that applecare is overpriced.. and if you think of it just as an extended warranty, then it is a little pricey. but if you are someone that could use a lot of phone support, then it's actually potentially a total bargain. the fact that 2 or more years after you bought a computer, you could still be calling them every single day, asking for any kind of advice on how to use anything on the machine, is quite something. many people on this forum have had problems when they made the mistake of upgrading to 10.4.9 without first creating a system clone or checking first with their 3rd party plug in vendors to make sure it was ok. so, with apple care, you could call them and keep a technician on the phone _all day_ talking you through step-by-step how to back up all of your user data, how to go through and preserve your preferences and any other specific settings you might not want to lose, and then how to rollback to an earlier OS version.. they'll hold your hand through the whole thing if you need them to.
    as for applecare support for pro apps like logic, I'd be the first person to agree that it's not great for anyone except beginners and first time users. if you look at what it takes to get even the highest level of logic certification, it's all pretty basic stuff. and logic doesn't exist in a vacuum, there is an entire universe of 3rd party software and hardware, as well as studio culture and advanced user techniques that are going to be totally invisible to some poor phone support guy at apple that did a logic 101. but it's not hard to see that apple are trying to promote a different kind of support culture, it's up to you to decide whether you want to buy into it or not.
    the idea is that they are able to provide basic setup support for new users, including troubleshooting. because it's a simpler level of support, at least they can do this well. so there's no reason why any new user with say a new imac and logic can't get up and running with the 90 days of phone support they get for free.
    but the thing is, for extremely high end pro users it's a different matter altogether. pro use of logic within the context of say, a studio or a film composition scenario is a very different world. it's almost a nonsense to imagine that apple could even hire people capable of giving useful support for this end of the spectrum, over the phone. there are so many variables, and so many things that require a very experienced studio person or in-work composer to even begin to understand the setup, let alone troubleshoot it. and it's a constantly evolving world, you actually have to be working in it and aware of developments on 3rd party fronts as well as changes in hardware.. not to mention even changes in the culture of studio production and the changed expectations that come from that. there's no way some poor little guy sitting at a help desk at apple can even hope to be privy to that kind of knowledge. it's already good enough that they don't outsource their support staff to india, let alone go out to studios and hire the very people with the skills that should be staying in the studio! not answering phones for apple.
    so, given this reality.. companies have two choices. they can either offer an email based support ticket system, which others do. but in my opinion.. this can just be frustrating and only a half-solution. sure you 'feel' like you are getting a response from the people that make the software and therefore must know it.. but it's not really the case due to what I said above. DAWs don't exist in a vacuum, and so much of what you need to understand to help people requires an intimate knowledge of the music industry in which they are working. you still won't get that from steinberg, even if they sort of answer your emails. the other problem is that this kind of system can mean sporadic answers, a lot of tail-chasing, and quite often you won't get an answer that helps you in the end anyway.
    the other model is to foster a strong user support culture. some people react in the wrong way to this idea.. they just think it's a big brush off from the manufacturer, saying we don't care, go sort it out yourselves.. but this isn't true. apple has a classification for pro resellers called 'apple solutions expert - audio'. what this means is that these dealers are recognised as audio specialists and they can receive extra support and training from apple for this. but more importantly than this.. most of them are music stores, or pro gear dealerships that are also mac and logic dealers. they already employ people that have worked or do work in the music industry, and are constantly on top of all of this stuff. apple encourages these dealers to run workshops, and to provide expert sales advice in the very niche area that logic is in, which they can do far better than some generic apple store ever could. but most importantly, they are encouraged to offer their own expert after-sales support and whatever other value-adding expertise they can, to get sales. because margins in computer gear are so tight nowadays, discounting is not really a viable option for these dealers to guarantee getting musicians to buy computers and logic setups from them. the only companies that can entice people with a lower price a big online wholesalers or big chain stores. so the best idea for these niche expert stores to get sales is to offer you their own experts to help with configuration, ongoing support and to generally make it a better idea that you bought your system from them rather than from some anonymous online store. I can see the wisdom of this.. it puts the support back out there on the ground where it's needed, and also where it can work best. apple could never hope to offer the same level of expertise in helping a film composer work through some issues with a specific interface or some highly specific issue they have with getting a task done. no big software manufacturer could do this anywhere near as well as people out there that have worked in studios or currently do work in studios. so in my opinion it's a far better model to foster this kind of support culture, along with training courses, books and training video support. also user forums like this one are possibly one of the most valuable ports of call anyone could ask for. apple couldn't replicate this with their own staff, even if they tried. and even if they made a system where some of the people close to logic development were able to answer emails, it would still be nowhere near as useful, as rapid or as capable of being up to speed with logic use out in the real world with 3rd pary gear, as any of these other methods are.
    the only thing I think they could do better would be to publish a list of known bugs which are officially recognised. this would help everyone and put an end to a lot of wasted time and speculation on if something is a bug totally to do with logic, or if it's a specific issue raised by a particular configuration.
    but really, in my view, a 3rd party support and training culture through a combination of specialist dealers, consultants that literally run a business setting up computers for pro-users and helping them keep it all working, online user-to-user forums and published materials really are the way forward.

    In all honesty this is currently the 3rd "logicboard" (motherboard)
    in my powerbook due to a design flaw regarding the 2nd memory slot....
    Yep. Mine failed five weeks after I bought it. However, I bought it for work and couldn't afford being without it for four weeks while they fixed it, so I had to live with it. My serial number did not entitle me to a replacement either, post Applecare.
    My firewire ports have burnt out from a third-party defective device (no hot-plugging involved)
    My screen is blotchy (my PW serial number did not entitle me to a replacement).
    My battery serial number did not entitle me to a replacement, and is not that good these days.
    My guaranteed Powerbook-compatible RAM is actually not, causing RAM related problems, most notably these days meaning that as soon as I switch to battery power, the laptop crashes, so I can only use mains power. The company I bought it from stopped taking my calls and wouldn't replace it after they replaced it once, so I'm stuck with it. And of course, only one ram slot is working, so I can't even use my original stick in the first slot, which would shift the dodgy stuff away from the lower system area.
    My power supply failed at the weak spot and caught fire. I managed to break apart the power supply and recable it so I didn't have to buy a new power supply, although the connection at the laptop end is loose (all the more fun that as soon as power is lost, the laptop crashes - see above). The power supply is held together with gaffa tape. Silver gaffer tape though, so it's still kind of 'Appley"...
    My internal hard drive is dying - four or five times now it clicks and won't power up, causing the laptop to die.
    One foot has fallen off (but glued back on).
    The lid is warped.
    The hinge is loosish.
    The S-Video adaptor cable is intermittent.
    But aside from all that, I have looked after it well, and I love it to death. Just as well, because it doesn't look like it will be that long...
    But it still "just works". Apart from the battery power obviously. And the ram slot. And the ram. And the screen. And the hard drive. And the firewire ports. And the feet.
    But everything apart from the main board, the screen, the case, the hard drive and the power supply works fine. So thats... er..
    Hmm.

  • What is the best way to start "fresh" with iPhoto '08?

    I am running iPhoto '08 on a mid-2007 iMac. When I set up the machine, I moved all the photos from my PC to the Mac retaining the existing directory structure that I had on the PC. I then imported all the pictures into iPhoto with no problems.
    Unfortunately, the other person who uses the Mac needs to be able to use the directory structure as it existed on the PC (that structure involves several subfolders with specific names etc.), and it appears that iPhoto is not designed to work that way. I know the photos can still be manipulated in the folders I imported, but then I run the risk of at best, being out of synch with iPhoto and at worst, corrupting iPhoto completely.
    That said, what I would like to do is delete or remove the current iPhoto library (or whatever iPhoto accesses; not the whole application unless necessary) and then selectively import photos to iPhoto. That way, the other user can access the photos in the familiar folder structure and manipulate them at will without disturbing the iPhoto db and, once photos are edited etc. and ready for primetime, they can be imported to iPhoto to gain the advantages of displaying using Front Row etc.
    My question is what is the best way to achieve what I am looking for? Just backup then delete the iPhoto pkg file in the HD/Library/Receipts folder? Uninstall the entire application and start over?
    All assistance greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You don't need to re-install iPhoto, just change the library - and you may not even need to do that.
    1. You can easily recreate your Directory structure in iPhoto. Simply start at the bottom of your structure and drag a folder of images to the Source (or left hand) pane of the iPhoto Window. iPhoto will create an Album of the same name. The create your enclosing folders (File -> New Folder) and drag the albums to it. This way you can quickly recreate what you have/
    2. The other user of the files can access them directly via the iPhoto Window or a Media Browser such as THIS. The advantage of this system is that your directory structure is available to them ina convenient and recognisable way. They can then drag the pics from the iPhoto Window / Media Browser to the app they as the need. (A whole lot faster than fumbling around in Folder after Folder etc, plus the advantage of keyword searching.)
    3. Is this necessary for working with an editor? You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. Btw this is the only way that edits made in iPhoto will be visible in iPhoto.
    4. Finally, if you do wish to go as you described: Simply trash the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder. Start iPhoto and it will create an new empty library. If you wish to recover the files from the Library first, then Right Click on the iPhoto Library and go 'Show Package Contents'. Your files are in the Originals Folder.
