Can't trigger off of signal

I'm using the latest Signal Express with an NI-9233 and an ICP force sensor. When I set up my hardware to measure the first channel, it reads it just fine, but when I try to set up the trigger, the option to use the signal as a trigger is greyed out. The only options available are NONE and SOFTWARE.
Is there something else I need to do so I can trigger off of my input signal?
Thanks.

Hello Jeff,
To add to Christophe’s comments, it is also possible to perform hardware triggering on your 9233.  This can be done if you have a cDAQ-9172 NI CompactDAQ Chassis and another cDAQ module that uses the type of triggering you would like to use.  An example of such a module would be an NI-9205.  With this module installed, you can trigger off of an analog input or a digital input.  This trigger event can then be shared over the cDAQ chassis backplane. 
For analog input triggering, it is necessary to have an analog input channel from the NI-9205 as the first channel in the scanned channels list in SignalExpress.  An analog input trigger channel can then be specified as the channel from the NI-9205.  Please see the following screenshot. 
After the 9205 is installed in any slot in the cDAQ-9172, you can use the PFI0 line from this module as a digital trigger for your analog input task.  Please see the following screenshot.

  • Can i connect an external signal generator to the NI7344 to...

    Can i connect an external signal generator to the NI7344 to use its
    PID characteristics to precisely control the output
    I am using the flex motion board (NI7344) to control the force output
    of a linear motor. Using contouring and buffer operations i have
    successfully created a system which can output a controlled force
    which sinusoidal in form. I can achieve a reasonable output for
    waveforms of 10Hz, the use of higher frequencies is limited by the
    contouring operation ( a frequency of 10 Hz means i can only describe
    one period of a sine wave with 10 points ( 10ms between each point =
    10Hz). Can i therfore connect an external anologue wave generator to
    the NI7344 use and use its PID characteristics to output wave
    forms of
    higher frequency ??? .....could i output an anolgue wave form from an
    E-series DAQ via the RTSI cable to the NI7344 and control this ???.any
    ideas or advice would be much appreciated.

    Duncan,
    You can use a DAQ card to output an analog waveform, but it will be a software call not part of an onboard program. RTSI can be used to pass clocks and trigger signals, so if you want to route a clock signal to do the control you could.

  • How can i switch off 3G in iOS 8

    It seems that this question has not been asked yet, so here it is:
    How do I switch off 3G in iOS 8 but keep the cellular data connection for receiving emails, go on the internet, etc? 3G coverage here is patchy so I expect either poor connectivity and / or quick drain of battery power because of endless searches for 3G signals.

    I Still do not understand what you mean when you ask "how can I make my iPad operate normally again?" That seems to have no relation at all to using the privacy settings.
    However, you do not have to allow any apps to have access to the items in the Privacy Settings. But remember that you may be limiting functionality in those apps if you don't allow access.
    For instance, go to Settings>Privacy>Microphone. See which apps have requested access to the iPad mic. Let's say that Google is tuned on in that setting. You can turn it off but then you will not be able to ask Google questions - you cannot use voice prompts in Google if you turn it off. All of those items work the same way, if you have another calendar app that you want to use along with the built in calendar - if you allow the other calendar app access to the iPad calendar, you can keep both calendars in sync.
    You ou have to decide what you want to allow other apps to have access to on your iPad.

  • How to program to trigger off a channel then recording all other channels?

    I am converting my program from Visual C++ 6.0 to .NET (yup we are kind of slow so that we can use the new NIDAQ driver with M card.  Now I have some trouble converting the data acqusition routine.  I am trying to trigger off a channel then record data from all the channels.  I was told that I will have to have an extra circuit to wire the channel to TTL line.  Is this true?  I never had to do this in the older software.  I basically set the pretrigger and use SWAnalog and that is it.  The following is the code from the older software.  Right now in my .NET evenvironment, I basically monitor the voltage from the trigger channel then once the voltage exceed the level, I went into my buffer to grab the pretrigger and post trigger data.  It was fine except that the buffer is kindda huge and it slows down the data acq process by far since we still have older PC that is slow.    I attached the code of the new way (in .NET) that I am doing with this message as well.  Sorry for a long message and I hope someone can help me out!!  Thanks, Yajai.

    Hello DrObb,
    I'm not sure I know exactly what you are trying to do, but I'd like to offer some suggestions.  First, it looks like you are trying to use some sort of software analog triggering?  Depending on your M Series device, you might be able to use hardware analog triggering.  The 625x and 628x families have hardware analog triggering capabilities.  You can use an analog trigger on any one of the analog input channels or the APFI line.  Additionally, all M Series have digital triggering support.  So it should not be necessary to use external circuitry unless you have a 622x device and you need analog triggering.
    As far as the .NET programming, I suggest looking at some existing shipping examples.  If you included .NET support when you installed NI-DAQmx, you should have a bunch of .NET examples in the following directory (regardless of whether or not you have measurement studio):  C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudioVS2003\DotNET\Example​s\DAQmx\Analog In\Measure Voltage
    It looks like you probably want to use an analog reference trigger (if you want pre and post trigger data).  So you might have to take pieces of a couple examples, like the analog start trigger example and the digital reference trigger example.  Good luck, re-post if you have additional questions!

  • I can't turn off the mute feature

    For some reason I can't get sound on my MAC Book Pro. In System Preference, Sound. I can't get the Mute button to uncheck.

    There are two ways that your location can be determined. One is thru the Geo-Location feature, which uses WiFi signals on mobile devices; doesn't work on desktop computers unless you have a wireless card installed. Geo-Location can be turned off in Firefox.
    The other is by the IP Address for your connection, that can't be turned off in Firefox. You would need to use a Proxy server / service to act as the intermediary connection to hide your true IP Address. It would be easier to use Adblock Plus and just hide those advertisements, then to mess with using a Proxy, IMO.
    Not going to be much different with other browsers.

  • I've had a network extender for 2 years and since August I can't get a GPS signal

    I have had a network extender for over 2 years and have had no problems with it.   Since August, I have had nothing but trouble.  The GPS signal went out and I went through all of the Verizon troubleshooting tips and nothing worked.  They sent me a new one and it has worked for about 2 weeks however now I have the same exact problem, the GPS is red and I haven't had a GPS signal for 2 weeks now.  What is going on? How is it possible that after over 2 years of having no issues, we can't get a GPS signal?

    I spoke with another Verizon tech rep and he was going to open a network trouble ticket however first he needed to gather some information.  He directed me to this site http://8x8.com/Resources/Tools/VoIPTest.aspx
    to get info on the speak of my computer and IP connection however when I began the test, there was an error and it couldn't measure my VOIP connection.  The Verizon rep said that there isn't software in the network extender and that it's based off the VOIP.  So he suggested I call my internet provider and tell them that I'm trying to use a VOIP and for some reason it's not working.  He suggested I tell them I'm trying to use Vonage and not Verizon though.  Anyway, I'm going to call Comcast tomorrow and provide them the information that I got off the http://8x8.com/Resources/Tools/VoIPTest.aspx site.   Not sure if that will help you but I will keep you posted as to what Comcast tells me. 

  • Trigger&Gate VI (Signal Manipulation Library)

    I have noticed that, if input signal amplitude is less than 0.4 V pk-pk, my VI doesn't work. Is it my fault, or is it a real limit in Trigger&ate VI? How can I solve it? (Data I have to acquire are usually lower that 0.1V)
    Same question, in Italian:
    Noto che, se l'ampiezza del segnale di ingresso è inferiore a 0.4 V picco-picco, il mio VI non funziona. E' un errore nel mio VI, oppure è un limite reale in Trigger&Gate VI? Come posso risolvere il problema? (I dati che devoo acquisire sono di solito inferiori a 0.1 V)

    Hi Marc1uk.
    Rather than using Express VIs for your coding, have you considered looking at other VIs available for signal analysis.
    There is a VI designed specifically for calculating Cycle RMS called "Cycle Average and RMS.vi" which you can find by right-clicking on your block diagram and using the search from the functions palette. This VI can be used for periodic signals, although I appreciate your concerns that by changing the duty cycle of your PWM signal it may not fulfil your requirements.
    To overcome your triggering issue, one of the simplest ways may be to change the parameters for your stop trigger. If you set this to the falling edge of the signal and something like 0.2 then hopefully the triggering will be stopped just before the next trigger gets started.
    Unfortunately you're always likely to see some phase delay occurred through software filtering in any language. How much phase delay are you experiencing? One option that may reduce this slightly is to change your Filter Express VI to a lower level "Butterworth Filter.vi" which you can find through the Functions >> Signal Processing >> Filters, palette. For this, you can create constants to configure the VI to the same properties as your express VI i.e. a constant of "3" into the Order input, a constant of "Lowpass" into the Filter Type input and the output of the x*5 expression into the Low Cutoff F input.
    Hope this information helps you further on your way! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
    Kind regards,

  • Can I trigger PIN check

    11.1.11 DISABLE PIN
    11.1.11.1 Functional description
    The Disable PIN command is used to switch off the requirement to compare the PIN verification data with the PIN
    reference data. The command also allows an indication whether to use an alternative global key reference, if enabled, or
    not when the application PIN is disabled. For universal PIN definition see clause 9.4.1. Usage of an alternative global
    key reference for user verification is indicated in parameter P1. If an alternative global key reference is used as a
    replacement for the application PIN, the usage qualifier in the PS_DO template data object for the alternative global key
    reference is set to "use" = '08'. The verification of the alternative global key reference shall be performed instead of the
    application PIN verification to get access to the application.
    The UICC shall perform a validation of the SE after the successful execution of this command as the current SE may
    have changed and this shall affect the access to files.
    NOTE 1: The access rules for the application must cater for the case that an alternative global key reference
    replaces the application PIN. It is the responsibility of the application to specify this.
    The successful execution of this function has the effect that files protected by PIN are now accessible as if they were
    marked "ALWAYS", except in the case where the alternative global key reference is to be used as a replacement for the
    disabled PIN. In this case the access condition for files containing only a reference to the disabled PIN is the alternative
    global key reference. For files having more than one global key reference indicated in the access rules the access
    condition is "ALWAYS" after disabling on of the key references used in the access rules. The function DISABLE PIN
    shall not be executed by the selected application when PIN is already disabled or blocked.
    NOTE 2: Every application must specify whether this function is applicable to all PINs defined for the application.
    If the PIN presented is correct, the number of remaining PIN attempts shall be reset to its initial value 3 and PIN shall
    be disabled.
    If the PIN presented is false, the number of remaining PIN attempts shall be decremented and PIN remains enabled.
    After 3 consecutive false PIN presentations, not necessarily in the same card session, the PIN shall be blocked and the
    access condition can never be fulfilled until the UNBLOCK PIN function has been successfully performed on PIN.
    Input:
    � PIN.
    Output:
    � none.

    Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
    At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

    My team and I have to implement a security requirement to suit our company's needs.
    The security requirements are that, users' password need to be aged (30 days maximum) and we need to provided a GUI front-end (JSP) to allow users to change their password when these expire after 30 days.

    1. How can we turn off the WLS security in order develop our own application-based security module?
    2. How can we develop a security module that allows us to age users' password and provide them with facilities to change their passwords when these expire?
