Can't Split Signals from DAQ Assistant

I am reading three RTDs from a NI 9217 by using the DAQ assistant. I have tried to split the signals with the "Split Signals." However, when I expand the icon to three outputs, it only gives me 1 output node to connect to instead of three. How do I correct this?

I see what you mean. In LV 8.5.1. See attachment. Only the top connector shows a connection. The 2nd and 3rd don't. You can't wire from them to another icon such as another waveform graph. But you can wire from another icon TO the connector and it connects up.
It looks fine in LV 8.6.
Is this a LV 8.5.1 bug?

Where can i find labview signal express DAQ assistant at?

Hi, i need help
Q1) where can i locate Labview signal express DAQ assistant at?
Q2) Is Labview signal express functions same as Labview 8.6 ?

LabVIEW Signal Express and LabVIEW are two different products.
If you are talking about the DAQ Assistant, then you need to have the latest DAQmx driver installed and you should be able to find in the Measurement I/O palette on the LabVIEW Block Diagram.

Splitting one signal from DAQ

Hi I m just working on my project and part of this is also build interface in Labview to use DAQ device 6008.
DAQ device serves to acquire Voltages from thermistors and my interface should split this signal for example like this:
=if(and(x>=8,D65<=8.54),-33.1*LN(D65)+46.12,if(and(x<8,x>=7.12),-40.1*LN(D65)+34.11,if(and(x<7.12,x>=6.15),-51.2*LN(D65)-0.28,"Out of Range")))
but this is just excel equation that works. I tried to do something similar in quation node because that would be the simpliest way for me, signal that enters the node is x and leave as y and goes to the waveform chart, but it didn`t work.
Then I built this interface thanks to the greater, lower icons and it was working fine till I was using number indicators icons as my input, but when i replaced them with DAQ device there was lot of issues with data types I was using and even after I fixed them there was all of sudden other problem with my equation node (because I needed to write condition somehow I used node) DAQ didn`t like it.
Any help please. I m new in this world then if someone will know what to do, please try it in simple world.
thank you in advance

Hi and thank you for your answer.
First file is the interface I created without DAQassist because I was told it will be the same when the numeric controllers will be replaced with DAQ assist, and this interface works.
The next file is with DAQassist and there is many errors regarding the wires types and even when I add "convert from dynamic data" after signal is split then I get next error, and even when I ad "index array" that is recomended for this error when I run simulation I m getting next error regarding my functional node.
If you can help I would really appreciate it.
I have to find my very first file which include only functional node and I will forward it to you.
Best regards

Impulse on periodic signal from DAQ

I'm using a myDAQ to measure a perioidic voltage signal, and I want to find the maximum and minimum of this signal. When acquiring the signal though, there seems to be a large impulse in the start of the acquisition data shown in one of the attachements. The capture is from a probe from before any filtering is applied to the signal. I'm not sure if this is an effect of the signal acquisition or something I am doing with the signal filtering, and I am new to signal processing in Labview in general.
In the picture, I acquire 2 signals at 1, split the signal at 2 (top signal is of interest), filter at 3, scale at 4, and display at 5.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of what could be going on in my code?

You might want to test the signals that you acquiring in MAX. It seems like the signal is going from 0 to -4.5 V in a short time. You are using the DAQ Assistant, which could be the source of the odd signal. I would recommend running some of the DAQmx examples. These examples can be accessed by going to Help in LabVIEW –> Find Examples -> Hardware Input and Output -> DAQmx -> Analog Input.

Measure Frequency of Digital Signal from DAQ-Board

I'm using a National Instruments DAQ board and I need to measure the
frequency of a digital signal from my data acquisition board.
I know the measure frequency.vi (In diagram - data acquisition -
counter), but i don´t understand yours implementation mainly in input
"counter". Because i don't understand the relationship of board channel (for
signal acquiring ) and the measure frequency.vi.
Thanks in advance,
[email protected]

Hi,
Attached is a vi which models your signal, and provides a way to measure the average frequency over a window of time. It converts the signal to a sequence of periods. I usually start with this approach because you can save the data in a much more compact form if your sampling rate is high. Obviously over a specified period of time, if there are no zero crossings the frequency is zero, so I was a little incoherent before. The real issue is the latency caused by averaging. Your frequency measurement is most accurate half your window size before the current time, so smaller windows give you more up to date measurements, but also more noisy. If you need the most up to date measurement, then you have to use the time since the last crossing which is the case where the frequency never goes to zero. That's probably not a realistic situation. If you needed less latency, you could use a prediction algorithm.
Also, there are a number of signal measuring and processing vi's that LV gives you, for instance pulse measurements that could be used to partially implement this or other approaches, but I normally steer clear of them unless they fit exactly due to having to convert back and forth to the waveform data type.
Have fun!

Extreme Base station can't extend signal from Mini desktop ?TCP/IP settings

I have a Mac Mini connected to DSL via a lynksys 8 port workgroup switch. I had 6 rooms in my house connected to the router by ethernet wiring. Worked great for several years. Now 2 rooms cabling seems to have gone bad (mice or squirrels, maybe). To avoid rewiring the connection outlets or pulling wire again (Ugh!), we bought an extreme base station. It transmits the internet signal fine when connected to the ethernet network (roaming), but I cannot get it to allow clients to access the internet in WDS mode.
The base station is in a central location where there is not an ethernet jack. It picks up the airport signal from the Mini (with extreme card and yes, I have the MAC address of the Mini chosen).
Internet connection is "shared" on the Mini and the laptops have no trouble accessing internet within close range of the Mini. The laptops can't access the internet through the base station. I suspect it's how the TCP/IP is assigned. I have tried every possible combination in the Airport Admin Utility.
In the WDS diagrams, it always shows 2 or more Base stations, never a Desktop and a Base. Are these incompatible?

...but can't figure out how for the Mini....
When you select "Share your Internet connection with AirPort-equipped computers," click AirPort Options to give your network a name and password.
Since they are the "same" network does it matter?
If one has no encryption or is using weaker encryption it will be the weak link for others to access your entire network.
Normally, if you want to seamlessly roam between the 2 wireless networks, ensure that they are using the same network name (SSID), same encryption type, same encryption level, and same encryption password. However any wireless device connecting to the Mac mini's network will be on a separate subnet.
Now I've got to figure out how to get files off the Office Desktop from the laptops, should I set up afp for airport or ethernet?

New monitor can not detect signal from new referb pc

Monitor is a new flat screen,  model 2310m full HD with  vga, hdmi, and dvi-d connectors and boot up CD which includes pdf manual and video drivers etc..
        PC is a referb Pavilion M9200t first time started since referb with a G-Force GT graphics card (1 gigabite) and dual DVI-D connections. No VGA or HDMI out. OS is vista ultimate that I will probably update to windows 7 if I ever get it set up. Monitor does not get a signal from new PC with DVI-D cable or a VGA cable with an adapter. Monitor works fine with my old XP PC after installing drivers and using the vga cable. New PC has no VGA out, so I bought a VGA to DVI-D adapter thinking that it would have proper drivers for a VGA monitor with no success. I also tried new PC on my old monitor with the DVI-D adapter on the VGA cable and that didn't work either. I can't do a first run setup without a monitor and the monitor won't work without a signal.
       I bought the PC from a friend who decieded to buy a laptop instead and had never started it. He bought it from someone who was selling referbs on E-bay and messed up and accidently started the warranty period or so they say.
        Also when I plug the PC in the fan starts and continues running till I do a hard shutdown, that is holding start button down till the PC shuts off. If I unplug and replug the computer it starts again without pushing start button. Does anyone think it is the graphics card issue or maybe power supply, or just not booting at all?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.------Thanks in advance.----Larry

            Ok, thats the procedure I was talking about earlier. I did that bios default factory reset just now. First the version 6 and earlier. It didn't work so I tried version 7 and later and that didn't work. I then tried version 6 and earlier again only this time pushed F10 more rapidly and got right in right when I got to the F5 and enter portion. Then I pushed F10 again to save the change and enter again to close. The PC didn't boot up the next screen like the test said it would. So I did it all again and spent some time reading what was on the bios pages but accidently pushed ESC as the bios menu suggested instead of enter to close out   . No boot up screen again. I did another hard shutdown and then unplugged the cord for 5 minutes and this time the PC stayed off when I plugged it back in. The bios are set to default but I cannot get it to start again in safe mode or boot up. So if the power supply is working properly, and the monitor worked in safe mode, then the video card must be good. right?
          So I'm editing from the night before, its Monday morning here in Wi. and I'm sorry to say that after leaving the PC unplugged all night that when I plugged it back in this morning, the dumb thing started again without pushing the  start button.  So the only thing doing a recovery on the bios accomplished was to prove that my the video card can run the monitor in safe mode which is a good thing I guess. Hope someone has an idea as to what else I can try.-------thanks

Can't read signal from airport

I can connect my macbook directly to the ethernet and the internet works. My airport reads the internet when I plug the ethernet into it also (green light). But my computer won't connect to the internet via the airport. What gives?

ok correction - the AX is NOT successfully connecting to the ISP. There is a green light on the AX, but when I run a network diagnostic through Safari, it says I have an airport detection, but there is a yellow light for network settings, and red lights for everything else (including ISP failed). I tried to configure the AX using airport utilities, but it says that IP is already in use? Not only that, now the airport utility will not detect my AX so I can reconfigure it. Aaaaaaahhhhhh
Again, the situation: the ISP must work because I can get the internet directly from the ethernet to my mac. But the airport is not able to send the signal to my mac.

How can I acquire signal from the 2 counters on my 6034e board?

I want to record one analog signal and one counter/timer signal with Diadem 8. I have a 6034e board. AI is not a problem, but when I define a counter in Diadem, for one of the two counters of the board, I get no or strange readings.

In MAX, I can only test one feature: pulse counts. So I connect a TTL signal between the source and the digital ground, and it counts a random number, of around 20-30 pulses, for each trigger. Same in Diadem. When I try period measurement (connected at the gate) or others with Diadem, I don't get anything.
I believe my wiring is correct as I'm used to counters with the PC-TIO-10 c/t board.

How can I restore contacts from Backup Assistant

My contact list has been corrupted. I have been using Backup Assistant for some time and want to restore my contacts from a previous backup.
Verizon seems to have changed BA since the last time I used it and the only function seems to be to take my corrupted contact list from my phone and store it. Any suggestions on recovering my non-corrupted contact list?

Here is a reply from a VW CS regarding the same question a few months back:
Click this link Backup Assistant (sign in) to check if contacts are available. You may sync directly from the site, by simply clicking sync on the right hand side (above contacts).
You may also try to sync by adding your G-mail account to the your device then go to Settings > Accounts & Sync > Ensure Sync is on for G-mail account. You may also select Auto-sync.
For additional information on how to restore contacts, click the link below:

Can the progressive signal from the mini be coverted to interlaced?

Is there any way to make the video output from the Mac mini interlaced, because my HDTV will only accept 1080i?
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, the mini for sure can output interlace. I have done this over an S-Video connection. What I am less sure of is whether it can also output interlaced video via DVI or VGA. In theory, there is no reason it shouldn't be able to. In other words, both those standards support interlace.
Programs like DisplayConfigX and SwitchRes X give you access to an interlace setting, but I have not ever had any need to try to use it over a DVI connection, so I can't tell you if it will perform the desired trick or not if that bit is set.

Split signal into XY components

Hi,
I am new to LabVIEW but have spend a huge amount of time (mainly going round in circles not getting anywhere) trying to get my VI design working. All very frustrating since I know what I want the VI to do but cannot figure out how to implement it in LabVIEW (despite hours of searching in this LabVIEW forum and in the help files).
I need to....
Take a signal from DAQ Assistant, when the signal is at a particular threshold (user configurable via Front Panel) log the data to Measurement File and stop logging when the signal reaches a higher threshold (I tried using the 'Trigger and Gate' VI in Express but it doesn't allow user configurable values for thresholds (only integers)).
Then I need to read back the Measurement File and split it into its XY parts to display on an XY Graph (and keep it displayed on the front panel for user observation).
Any help would be greatly appreciated but please explain in detail as I've already played with LabVIEW for hours and hours and haven't got anywhere.
Regards,

Hi bunnykins,
I think you can try using normal greater than /less than comparison functions and log the data using the Write to measurement file with append to file option enable.I have attached the screenshot of the block diagram.Please have a look. Thanks and regards, srikrishnaNF

Dynamically passing data into a running while loop from a DAQ assist. in an ouside while loop

Hello, I'm currently a student working on a senior project and I'm trying to do a state machine that will turn off and turn on a compressor depending on time and coprocessor failure.
In the run state, wich is #1 on the case structure box I placed the DAQ assist. Which takes in data from an accelerometer. If the accelerometer's value is above the limit four times it will end the loop or if the time runs out it will end the loop.
The problem I am having is that i need to run four compressors. I was thinking about having four case structures all within the outside loop, but I can only have the DAQ assist in one location. This means that I now have to move the DAQ assist out of the run loop or run all four compressors in the one case structure. If i remove the DAQ assist. I can only get it take in data once when the loop starts and never again. I understand why, but is there a way to dynamically pass data froma DAQ assist. into a running loop?
Also on a side note, i can't find a tutorial on how to really create a state machine using Enums. Does any one know where to find this.
I have attached my curent program.
Thank you for your help,
Ryan

TEST STAND STATE MACHINE 2-28-07.vi ‏288 KB

in labview choose file->new... then pick standard state machine and there are instructions.
you can create a custom control and either use an enum, text ring or menu ring. Edit the values and then save the control and drop into your vi and you can wire this to your case structure

LabVIEW won't let me configure DAQ assistant

Hi,
When I launch the Data Acquisition with NI-DAQmx.vi and double click the DAQ assistant icon on the block diagram the program won't let me configure the DAQ. Also, right clicking on the DAQ and selecting properties does nothing. How do configure the DAQ to allow me to use input channels on my NI-ELVIS board and then display the output on graphs in labview?
Thank you.

Hi cd384-
In general, you can have two (or more) DAQ Assistants in the same VI. I assume, however, that you're trying to have separate DAQ Assistants for analog input and this definitely will not work. You must group all tasks of the same type (analog input, analog output) within the same DAQ Assistant or DAQmx Task. You can add multiple channels by holding control and selecting multiple items when you are initially configuring the DAQ Assistant.
In order to separate signals in LabVIEW you can use the Split Signals function that is available on several palettes. To find it, just click "Search" from the functions palette and search for "Split Signals"
