Can the SC-2345 be used as the basis of a vibration control system

I am in the begining stage of putting together a small vibration control and measurement system for one of our Professors.  I have a small MB shaker and amplifier, accelerometers, an SC-2345 based system and 2 SCC-ACC01 accelerometer modules.  Before I commit to going forward can I assume that this assortment of hardware is adequate for a simple vibration control system?  If so, is there a set of .vi's available such that I could show a simple demonstration of the unit?
Thanks in advance,
Chuck

Thanks for your posting,
By using an acelerometer or two, you will be able to measure the stimulus (shaker) and the response (vibration transferred thru the unit under test) with the two accelerometers.  By analyzing the vibration, you can determine whether to increase or decrease the vibration level.  You may want to perform vibration level measurements, or vibration measurements at specific frequencies.  Either way, the output of your analysis should be a scaler value which you can use as  a process value for a PID algorithim or other control algorithim.  The output of the control algorithim would control for example the magnitude of the vibration signal fed to the shaker. 
So the diagram is really 1) measure vibration leve 2) pass level thru control algorithim and 3) adjust amplitude of signal fed to shaker. 
Does this make sense?

  • Can the iPad Mini restriction settings control downloading books on the Kindle Reader App?

    I have a lot of books on my Kindle Account, and I'm about to give my kids iPad Minis.  I want to put the Kindle Reading App on their devices, as I have a bunch of books that they love on my account, but I also have lots of books that I don't want them reading, just yet.  Can the restrictions settings on the Mini create passcode access if they want to download a book on their own?

    The restrictions that you use in the settings are only for content from the App Store, iTunes and the iBooks Store. As far as I know, there is no way to restrict access to the Kindle books in the settings. I have the Kindle app myself, but I don't know if there is a way to do what you want to do in the app itself or in your Amazon.com account.

  • Can the base URL be canged after cal is configured?

    In cal 6, I have http://server:8080
    but I want it to respond on http://server:8080/cal
    Is this possible to change without a reinstall?
    I ren through the csconfigurato, but it only addresses port #.
    Thanks for any help!

    I met
    uiBaseUrl
    Specifies a URL for the base server address. For example: "https://proxyserver".
    Corresponding ics.conf parameter:
    ui.base.url (no default)
    in the config file trying to find a solution for a different problem.

  • Can the user status profile function as system status profile?

    HI,
        One more question about the status profile..I create a status profile and assing it to a order type.After that,I create a PO using this order type..
        Do we have to manually check the status "check box"in CO03 or we can make it automatically,(like the sytem status profile.When the components are withdrawed or goods recive,the status could change automatically?)thanks..

    Hi
    User status also set automatically as you set in BS02 according to Business transaction
    for ex if initial user status is STA1 as default and you set to change on confirmation of order then as soon as you done the confirmation of order it would set as STA2 automatically

  • Can the M Series PCI 6221 control 24 VDC solenoid valves like the NI 9477?

    Hi,
    I am working on a project where three solenoid valves requiring 24 VDC and 8 Watts must be controlled by a PCI 6221 multifunction DAQ.
    I read on the NI website that an external power supply and the NI 9477 can be used together to actuate solenoid valves.  Since I already have the PCI 6221,
    I was wondering if an external power supply would allow the PCI 6221 to power the valves.
    Sincerely,
    Tristram Jordan

    Hey,
    Is there any way to control solenoid valves using the PCI 6221 DAQ card? Is it possible for the DAQ card to control a driver circuit for the valves?
    If there isn't an alternate way to control the valves, which DAQ do you recommend purchasing to control 3 solenoid valves and a pressure transducer?
    I am not familiar with the compactDAQ. Does the digital output module need to connect to a DAQ card within the computer? If not, how does it communicate with the computer?
    Sincerely,
    Tristram Jordan

  • Can the Choir in GarageBand be controlled in Logic Pro by cc2?

    I want to use my Akai EWI4000 Breath Controller to play the melody without words sung by the GarageBand Female Mixed Choir. Is that possible? I have tried just playing the track that way but instead of the voices I get a synth lead from inside the EWI. I can send breath control on channel 2 but how can I assign the choir to that channel , I do have that MIDI channel 2 assigned in the inspector to that track but it still doesn't let me control the voices-is there a way to do this?Is there a way to use the EXS with that GarageBand voice? I am in 9.1.5 and OS X 10.5.8
    OK- I found I can use the EXS because it does give under the GarageBand drop down instruments the mixed choir, and so I thought it would work by remapping the EXS to use the CC2 breath control to play volume and relative volume for the voices, but that doesn't seem to be the answer, as I still just get a synth lead instead of the voices. Maybe it can't be done, I hope someone here might know about that. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    Yes you might but you also might want to not mount it on your PC until you know it is safe to do so.
    Try one of the ISO CDs download and burn with support for cleaning malware.

    Some good general instructions on malware here:

    I would try Malwarebytes whatever you do and use, and might want to look at what they use.

  • Can the sequence pass/fail status be controlled in Test Stand?

    I have a sequence that contains a DoWhile loop. Within the loop are 5 or 6 steps that are executed. If the result of those steps is a fail the loop runs again until it passes or meets its allowable number of iterations. My problem is that if an iteration fails and then passes the result for the sequence is failed. Can the pass/fail status be controlled via an expression etc? I know I can create a subsequence and loop in it with the properties. I am just curious to know if there is a way it can be done like I have explained.
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Troy

    Troy,
    You might be able to use the RunState.ThisContext.SequenceFailed property.  Set this equal to False after your loop runs, and the sequence should report as if it passed.

  • I just had Uverse installed.  The iMac which was my base station is now connected via my household electric ground connection.  Another computer is now the base station.  I have connected my Time Capsule to my computer by USB cable, but can't set it up

    I just had Uverse installed.  My iMac desktop has been the base station for my wi fi, but we had to connect it via ground wire of my electrical system and use another desktop as the base station [with windows op system].  We have connected my Time Capsule to the computer via USB cable.  I believe that will require setting up the Capsule to use Ethernet, but the instructiions on the install disc only talk about using Airport.  How can I find instructions for setting up using USB cable and Ethernet?
    Thanks!

    All the manuals are listed at the head of the thread.

    The TC cannot connect to the computer by USB.. it is network device.. it only connects by ethernet or wireless.. usb is for external drive or printer.

  • Can Oracle be forced to use the spatial index for sdo_filter in combination with an or clause? Difference between Enterprise and SE?

    We’re seeing the following issue: sql - Can Oracle be forced to use the spatial index for sdo_filter in combination with an or clause? - Stack Overflow (posted by a colleague of mine) and are curious to know if this behaviour is due to a difference between standard and enterprise, or could we doing something else wrong in our DB config.?
    We have also reproduced the issue on the following stacks:
    Oracle SE One 11.2.0.3 (with Spatial enabled)
    Redhat Linux 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 16 20:59:36 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    11.2.0.3.0 Standard Edition and 11.2.0.4.0 Standard Edition (both with Spatial enabled)
    Microsoft Windows Server 2003R2 Standard x64 Edition
    However, the SQL works fine if we try it on Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 *Enterprise* Edition.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Kindest Regards,
    Kevin

    In my experience sdo_filter ALWAYS uses the spatial index, so that's not the problem. Since you did not provide the explain plans, we can't say for sure but I think yhu is right: Standard Edition can't use the bitmap operations, and thus it'll take longer to combine the results of the two queries (because the optimizer will surely split this OR up in two parts, then combine them).
    BTW: when asking questions about queries here, it would be nice if you posted the queries here as well, so that we do not have to check another website in order to see what you are doing. Plus it will probably get you more answers, because not everyone can be bothered to click on that link. It would also have been nice if you had posted your own answer on the other post here as well, because my recommendation would have been to use union all - but since you already found that out for yourself my recommendation would have been a little late.

  • I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.

    I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4, so it appears my headset mic is fine.  I can also use voice activated dialing, although it fails miserably interpreting numbers.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.   I just get barely audible static.  Any suggestions?   Thanks.

    Hello, did you ever get an answer to your question? I just picked up a Jawbone Era and using on an iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Seems to work fine on regular calls, but not on the built in Voice memos application. It worked fine on my older Jawbone Icon, but haven't tested on the 4s or iOS 5.
    Thanks!

  • Some emails don't appear in the folder list, I can only find them by using Search Messages

    As of yesterday, new emails from one regular correspondent do not appear in the list of messages when I click on Inbox. The only way I can access them is to use "Edit/Find/Search Messages". They are still in Inbox, they haven't been moved to another folder.
    Thunderbird version is 31.6.0.

    None of these apply, the messages have been received, I can find them using Search Messages but they do not appear in the folder contents.

  • Can a single quote be used at the beginning of a query string parameter

    Hi all,
    I am a relative newbie and have a newbie question.
    Can a single quote be used at the beginning of a query string parameter passed to a jsp page? Are there any inherant problems with this? Is there a comprehensive list of characters that must be escaped in a query string parameter?
    Example: http://mysite.com/myjsp.jsp?param1='nghdh
    Thanks

    You'll have to escape most non-letter characters before you can pass them as a URL. I don't know if it's necessary for a single quote, but better safe than sorry.
    Either use java.net.URLEncoder(...) or use javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse.encodeURL(String). I wouldn't recommend using unescaped characters in your URLs, that might cause pretty funny behavior that's sometimes hard to trace back. Don't worry about decoding it, your JSP/Servlet container will do it when you call javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.getParameter(String).

  • How many times can the photoshop code be used?  Like can I download it on one computer then later download it on a different computer?

    Basically the title explains my question.  How many times can the photos hop code be used?  Like can I download it on one computer then later download it on a different computer?

    You're allowed two installations/registrations. Anything above that requires deregistration on one of those computers.
    Take note that if this is Photoshop CC, it's as easy as signing out on a system; there aren't any serial numbers involved as it's all tied to your Adobe ID.

  • HT5622 We are a family of 4, each with their own apple device. Is it best for us to set up individual apple ID's for things like ITunes? If we do can the same e-mail address be used for all of them or do we need to create e-mails for the kids? Thank-you

    Thank-you

    1. Yes, it is.
    2. You may be able to use the same address by adding a plussed suffix to it, such as [email protected] If that doesn't work, create separate emails.
