Can you control servo valves without the PID toolkit?

I need to be able to control servo valves using labview, but I don't have the PID toolkit. Is there an alternate way to control servo valves without the toolkit? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Well first thing is to get a basic understanding of what a PID controller is doing. There is some discussion about PID on the NI web site, and a search of the net will also provide much information. What you are controlling with your valves will determine the complexity of your control solution and whether learning just the basics of control theory and PID in particular or whether you need to know more. It really isn't wasted effort, any success in implementing a PID control system, regardless of purchased toolkit or "roll it yourself" will need you to understand that basics. Even if you had picked up someone elses project that was complete except for "tuning" the system you would find that getting the system to run the way you need it to requires some knowledge and frequently a lot of patience. Good luck and keep asking questions.

    Can you listen to music on the iPod Classic without the headphones?

    The Classic does not have an internal speaker, so either you need to:
    plug in headphones
    connect the iPod to an amplifier and speakers (from the headphone socket)
    connect it to an iPod Dock cable and plug that into an amplifier
    Place the iPod into the Dock on something that has a Dock connector and amplifier built in.

    After scanning a document, I save the file in a PDF format. When attaching the PDF file to a New message it appears on the entire page instead of a PDF icon link that the recipient can click on to open. Why can't I get the PDF file to appear in a icon format? Thank you.

  • Can you send ipod back without the earphones?

    Im going to send my ipod to apple to check it out but do you need to include everything else like the usb and earphones when you send it?

    From the iPod Service FAQ: "Please do not send any accessories with your iPod as they will not be returned." Apple will return only an iPod, so you'll lose anything else you send to them.

  • Can you run an executable without the entire run-time engine?

    We have a 8.2.1 LabVIEW compiler that we have made our program with, but we need to use an NT computer to run it on.  Is there a way to get the 8.2.1 runtime manager to work with it or can we use an older version?  Or are we simply out of luck?

    I have no idea if this still works, but you could try the method described by Waldemar in this old post:

    It seems you might even be able to run things directly from the CD. Sorry, never even tried any of this. Good luck!

  • Can you download iOS updates without the iPhone connected to your computer?

    I'm trying to do the iOS 8 update for my phone - "Download Only" - and the pop-up window says "32 hours remaining!" Is there a way for me to continue the download without having the iPhone itself connected to iTunes?

    Probably. Didn't try that myself, but once the download is going your iPhone should not need to remain connected.

  • HT1766 can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Hi sandexpress,
    As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
    With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
    If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Can you control the OS Volume from Flash

    hi guys, Can you control the master windows OS volume from
    within flash.
    My understanding is that within the soundobject.volume, 100
    mean 100% of the current windows volume setting.
    Can control the windows setting seperatly as well (the same
    way you could/can in Director)?
    Rich

    Yes - the JavaScript that's in export.js was rolled into inline code in the Java jar files sometime during version 11.5.
    It's no longer customizable.
    An option is to use HTTP Filter on your Java Web App to modify the outgoing JavaScript instream, but that's never a pretty solution.

  • How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)

    How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)
    I want in attachment, not in the body mail.

    I think your only solution is to zip the image files first and then attach them.
    Read this from a site I found:
    Sending Graphical Attachments -- When you attach a graphical image to your message, the recipient of your message sees the image inline (that is, in the body of the message) if her email client supports inline display. ("Take Control of Email with Apple Mail" contains a table listing the capabilities of popular Mac and PC email clients.) If a client does not support inline display (or the recipient has turned off the inline display option), the file appears as an attachment that must be opened in a separate program.
    On the one hand, an inline image is easier for the recipient to see - all she has to do is look at it. On the other hand, inline images can be frustrating to scroll through. If you do not wish to send a graphical image inline, you must compress the file before attaching it - Mail, sadly, lacks a built-in compression option, though fortunately for Panther users, the Finder offers Zip compression without requiring a separate application.
    Note that when you compose a new message, Mail always shows attachments in the body of your message. You can manually drag them somewhere else, but many email clients display all attachments in a separate list, regardless of where you place them in the message body.
    If you paste an image into a message or drag & drop an image from another window (say, a Web browser), Mail converts the raw image data to an attachment in TIFF format. On the other hand, if you drag & drop the icon of an image file (or use the Attach button to locate the file using the file browser), Mail leaves the attached image in its original format. This difference is significant, because although most email clients can display JPEG images just fine, support for TIFF - especially in non-Mac email clients - is less common. If possible, I suggest attaching image files as opposed to pasting or dragging in raw image data.

    How can I create multiple accounts without the necessity to create multiple email addresses?  I now have 2 i-phones (mine and my wife's), 1 i-pad (mine), 1 i-pad mini (10 year old's), and 1 I-pod touch (11 year old's).  I would like to maintain purchase control, but would like to be able to have a separate account ID for each person.  Is that possible?

    Each email address can only be on one iTunes account, and all purchases are tied to the account that buys them. If you want to have separate iTunes accounts on each then you will need separate email accounts for each iTunes account
