Can anyone help with a PID control vi

Hi
I am doing a project at the moment and I need to build a temperature chamber. I am using LV 7.1 and I have 4 thermistors being fedback to a daq device. I also have two heaters as part of the chamber but i want to get the thermistors readings and pid control the output to the heaters. I have the program written to get the thermistors readings and average them but im having trouble trying to think how i can pid control the heaters so i am looking for a pid vi. If anyone can help it would be great. Thanks....

NI sells a control toolkit for LV which includes PID control. You can look for it on this site.
If you want to write this yourself, you should start with an uninitialized shift register. A USR allows you to keep data from the last time you ran the VI. There is an example of using a USR in the LV Example Finder and you can probably some more information about it in this site. You will also need to measure the time between runs and then probably calculate the derivative between each 2 runs to see how fast you're approaching your setpoint.
I hope this helps, as a start.
Try to take over the world!

  • My calendar will no longer let me add new event or delete them, it comes up with an error saying "cannot save event, no end date set" or "event does not belong to that event store". can anyone help with this?

    Hi,
    To configure your ODBC DataSource, go to Control Panel ---> DataSources(ODBC) (If you are in a Windows environment).
    Select the tab System DSN. If you have not added your data source, then do so by clicking on the Add button. If you have added the datasource, click on the Configure button to configure it.
    Give the datasource name, then the database name.
    You have to give the hostname, service name and server name. I guess, in most cases, the datasource name and host name will be the same, service name and server name will be the same. If you are using TCP/IP, the protocol will be onsoctcp.
    There will be a file named Services under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc where you have to give the port number for accessing this server.
    It will be like this <service name> <portnumber>/tcp
    Hope this helps...
    best wishes,

    Please can anyone help with the continuing password rejection problem with email on my imac.My Ipad and other systems work fine but despite reloading my password on imac it bounces back.Apple store has been visited and I have tried everything they suggest.

    I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
    On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about.  I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
    The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
    Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
    1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
    2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
         I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
    Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
    BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
    From my experimentation, here's my observation:
    1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
    2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
    The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta.

  • Can anyone help with iPlayer and Sky Mobile?

    Ok, I'm so close to giving up with this useless phone. There are 3 apps on my N97 which give me a constant headache.
    BBC iPlayer
    Sky Mobile*
    YouTube
    *I should point out that I only use Sky Mobile to set recordings on my Sky+. I do not use it for, nor have any desire to use it for actually watching Mobile TV.
    All of these apps work absolutely fine over my home WiFi network. It's when I try to use them over 3G (my Vodafone Live! connection) that I start running in to trouble.
    All 3 give me connection problems, errors, and simply refuse to load half the time when on 3G. I got so annoyed I just did a hard reset the other week, and magically all three started working again. However, now 2 of them are failing me again. YouTube (touch wood) is working fine at the moment, but iPlayer and Sky Mobile just aren't.
    iPlayer sometimes works. But sometimes I get script errors (unable to load content), and sometimes it says something about checking my connection settings. I wouldn't mind but it's not actually possible to access any options for the iPlayer. Even in application settings there are no options you're able to set.
    Sky Mobile simply flat out refuses to work ever on 3G. But it did after I did a hard reset for a couple of weeks, now it just stopped working! It wont even load. It just gives the error message 'Unable to connect to network - please check connection settings" or something along those lines.
    I've tried so many different things. Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live! all the time, tried setting my video streaming settings to WAP, all sorts. Every combination I can think of.
    I just can't wait to get rid of this phone. I've put so many people off buying one. They see it and think it's all swish and cool, and I just say 'Don't. You'll regret it'. I can't wait for my contract to be up so I can upgrade to an iPhone now Vodafone have got them.
    Can anyone help with these problems? Thanks in advance, but I don't hold out much hope...

    About iPlayer.
    Have a chat with Vodaphone. Streaming iPlayer over 3G IS allowed on Vodaphone contract, unlike my O2 contract. As long as your contract allows it, and you have the correct AP address, it should be fine. Vodaphone should be able to give you the setting.
    Mine only works over Wlan.
    FWIW, "... streaming over 3G is not currently available on iPhone handsets on any mobile network".
    p.s. Just to be clear. You say  "Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live!".
    iPlayer uses the Nokia browser "Web". So that's where you should make the setting "Ask when needed". It should then offer you the choice of whatever you've set in Destinations> Internet> then select whatever you've chosen as your GPRS connection.(as advised, or sent to you by Vodaphone).

  • HT1365 Hi can anyone help with this issue regarding my wireless magic mouse? When im on google chrome and scrolling down the page i always have youtube running in the background but the audio cuts/spits/pops can anyone help me with this?

    The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet.  Are you still using the same wireless router.  The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace.  For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio.   I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

  • Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    iTunes Match is a subscription system that allows you to upload your own music (e.g. coped from CDs) to the cloud so that it shows (in the cloud) on your devices and computers without having to sync/copy it.
    Automatic downloads allows to, for example, buy an app on your computer's iTunes and have it automatically download on your phone without having to connect and sync it or go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your download and download it yourself - but doing that, going to the Purchased tab and redownloading an app, should get it associated.
    But no, I'm not aware of any problems that not having it associated causes.

  • Can anyone help with email in my old G4 17"  ??

    My G4 17", bought December 2004, is considered an antique by Apple, and no longer supported. (I now mostly use my early 2011 MacBookPro.)
    But the big screen on by G4 is very useful for Sibelius 4, the music program I mostly use (Sibelius 7 in the MacBookPro - but much too fussy for me.)
    Sibelius 4 in the G4 continues to work flawlessly.
    But my email account recently sort of died. It's  POP account (whatever that means). I can no longer receive messages, BUT I can still create and
    send new messages, and of course forward any saved message to myself in the MacBookPro.
    ALSO:  if I have to shut down the G4, it usually reopens with a horizontally divided display, and it usually takes many restarts before it will open
    will a full screen display (seems to reopen correctly more often if left in a cool place overnight.)
    Can anyone help with one or both these issues? I want to keep the G4 going as long as I can.  BTW, I don't use it for browsing anyone, Safari installed,
    because it is now so slow. The MacBookPro handles all that for me.
    Thanks very much, James Johnson in Plattsburgh NY (where it is still cold and wintry, o f--k)

    To RCCHARLES: THANKS !!!!  I did the safe boot start, following the link you provided, then waited, and waited, and waited, and ---
    Well that is interesting. Amoung other things safe boot does:
    -- check and fixes up your file system.  The files system allows you to keep files on your harddrive.
    -- Does all video rendering in software.
    You could have a one time glitch or harddrive is slowly failing.  If you never replaced the harddrive, it is time for a new one.
    You may want to consider getting a new harddrive.  The easiest way is to get an external drive.  No disassembly of the machine is required.
    You need an external Firewire drive to boot a PowerPC Mac computer [ a few G5's will boot from USB ].
    I recommend you do a google search on any external harddrive you are looking at.
    I bought a low cost external drive enclosure. When I started having trouble with it, I did a google search and found a lot of complaints about the drive enclosure. I ended up buying a new drive enclosure. On my second go around, I decided to buy a drive enclosure with a good history of working with Macs. The chip set seems to be the key ingredient. The Oxford line of chips seems to be good. I got the Oxford 911.
    I'd give OWC a call. 1-815-338-8685.
    FireWire 800 + USB 3, + eSATA
    save a little money interface:
    FireWire 400 + USB 2.0
    This web page lists both external harddrive types. You may need to scroll to the right to see both.

  • Can anyone help with game center I cannot accept or request friends

    Hi can anyone help with sorting this problem out, I cannot accept or request friends via game center, Any help would be much appreciated. I get request and when I click on accept friends, nothing happens, when I go to game center it says no friends.

    Thanks Martin. I'm waiting to hear back but I believe he has the Vixia HF S10 or S11. It's a flash-drive HD camcorder. I have heard that the lousy software that comes with the Canon's for windows forced the clips to downsample. I'm going to try to Log and Capture directly from him camcorder. The (canon) device only has a USB port and I didn't think USB worked on macs for video.
    My video clips are 1920x1080 AIC, @29.97 fps.
    His clips are 720x404 mpeg2 muxed. It doesn't tell me anything else.
    In MPEG Streamclip, I can export to the same specs but in FCE it still makes me re-render the clips for some reason. very time consuming...

  • Can anyone help with a solution???

    Can someone please help? My problem is that I bought my iPad mini just last week and now it's freezing half way through what I'm doing and it's also not saving any of my photos? Can anyone help with a solution???

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    What are you doing when it freezes?
    How much Available storage space do you have? Go to Settings>General>About>Available

  • Can anyone help with AirPrint

    Can anyone help with this. I recently purchased an Airport Express unit to connect to my Canon MP 640 via USB. I was advised to download the airport utility app for both my iPad and iPhone, which I did. I also downloaded it on my pc. I have connected the Airport Express to my Orange router via wired LAN and my printer is connected to Airport Express via USB. A new wireless network has now been setup via the Airport so I can connect my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV. The printer is showing in the airport utility on my pc but I cannot print anything from my iPad and phone. The both connect to the Airport Express but cannot find the printer. They both come back with " no AirPrint printer found". Can anyone help with this.

    Thanks for that guys. I can stop tearing my hair out now. I have the Printcentral app on both devices and there are several options I can use from this, but not direct print to my printer. The Pages and Numbers apps need to update with a 'send to' option I think. Canon have an app for printing photos which works well on both iPhone and iPad, may be they need to update to include docs too. I don't realy want to spend any more money on a new printer as my Canon MP640 does a good job on my photos. Oh well, back to iCloud. Thanks again for your help.
