Cannot Find Pulse Width Modulation(FPGA, Use in SCTL)

Hello All,
Can someone tell me where I can find Pulse Width Modulation (FPGA, Use in SCTL).vi? I couldn't find it in LabVIEW Example Finder.
Thanks

Using pulse width modulated signal (square wave) to control when a signal is turned on or off

Using pulse width modulated signal (square wave) to control when a signal is turned on or off
Greetings All
I'm trying to use a labview created pulse width modulated signal (square wave) to control when a signal is turned on or off.
Here's my logic and graphic example:
1) The source wave signal is continuous
2) Use a PWM (square wave) created in labview to control when the signal is turned on or off
3) If PWM signal (amplitude) is greater than 0 play signal if PWM is not greater than 0 don't play signal.
I'm actually using this to step sequence / pulse several separate magnetic coils using my audio card (which has several audio output channels), I have a signal in labview played constantly. Than compare it to the PWM (square wave) which controls if the signal gets played on each separate channel or not. That way I can control which coil is on and off and in what sequence they are activated.
I couldn't find an edge detection for a square wave created in labview so I tried Limits but that doesn't seem to work unless I change the phase manually and that only goes from 1 to -1. I'm just trying to compare the PWM (square wave edges) already created by labview / play a signal if the pulse is greater than 0 and it turns off the signal if it's less than 0.
Should I be doing this another way

Greetings,
I tried it two ways using amplitude and levels and fft spectrum. The values don't seem to update the way I need them to (basiclly showing a 0 or a 1). I compare the Y values like you recommended but they don't ever seem to update.

Throttle body PID control using pulse width modulation

Hello all,
I am trying to do a PID control for a throttle body (using pulse width modulation) for a set value of feedback voltage. The process variable is the pulse width duty cycle. The throttle body is expected to be fully open at a feedback voltage of 5V and pulse width duty cycle of 42.5%. When I use the highlight execution using the attached file, I can see the throttle body fully open (the values observed are: PID output 42.5 %, feedback voltage approximately 4.7V). However, when the highlight execution is unclicked, the throttle body flutters in the closed condition (still PID output 42.5%, feedback voltage approximately 0.9 V). Can any one please help by suggesting any modification to this attached file to make this throttle body respond to the set value of feedback voltage.
Many thanks
Ajith

Throttle body control using PWM technique - PID.vi ‏525 KB

How did you determine your P, I, and D gains? If you have not tuned your controller, you'll get poor performance. Running with execution highlighting will slow down the execution, which will change the effect of the gains. I would start with pure proportional control (I and D = 0) with a small proportional gain, and see if it responds in approximately the way you want. If so, then your code is probably correct, and you just need to do a full tuning to get good performance. There are many resources available on the web, on this forum and elsewhere, for PID tuning. Note that since your code uses a simple PID example, and not the one from the PID toolkit, the gains do not have the units that are used in many tutorials so you'll have to correct the calculations to compensate.

Does the new ipad use pulse width modulation to control the brightness of the display?

Does the new ipad use pulse width modulation to control the brightness of the display? I have photophobia and migraines and am unable to use displays that use this technology due to it triggering a headache.

You'll have to go to an Apple Store and view the screen to see if it's OK for you. If a store is not convenient, buy one from Apple online and check it out. You have 14 days to return it for a full refund, no questions asked.

Building delays in pulse width modulation

HI there I am trying to build a vi to control a speed controller for a motor.
The specification that the technician gave me is to produce a pulse width modulation waveform with constant gap time and variable "on" time.
This will give the motor a variable speed that can be manipulate.
I already build a pulse width modulation vi but I don't understand how can I make the gap time constant eg 20ms while varying the on time 1-3ms.
Is there a method that I could use or an example that I can look at? Any help will do thanks in advance.
ill attach my current vi.

You want to vary the ON time between 1 to 3ms?
Did you do a search using the keyword "pwm"? There are many posts that have examples.
The idea is that you want to preserve the same frequency and change your duty cycle.
(Example)
Let say you want a waveform at every 20ms, which translates to 50 Hz.
2 ms is 10% duty cycle, 1ms is 5% duty cycle, and 3ms is 15% duty cycle.
Did I understand your question correctly? Somehow, I feel like I missed something..

Pulse width modulated signals

Is it possible to generate a fixed frequency with variable duty cycle signals using counter/timer channels of my DAQ 700?
If yes, is there any example I could download?
If no, I am looking for a DAQ card that can handle
the job, I'd appreciate any recommendation.
Another part of my project is to read in a analog signal while generating this pulse width modulated
signal. So far I am not very lucky with one DAQ,
I am thinking of getting two. Does it sound overkill?
Please help.
Thanks

Could you provide a timing diagram for your digital signal?
I am a firm believer that a digital output device such as an NI timer can create any signal, given the proper software or hardware. I once did a high speed, gated, triggered data acquisition with only a single NI timer chip on the AT MIO 16E-1. It required about 75 feet of BNC cable, more PFI wires than you can imagine, four external logic devices (AND and OR, NAND and NOR boxes) all interconnected and basically tangled. I don't think I could repeat that setup without my documentation, but the point is, it worked.
The most important thing from that example is that I used a timing diagram. These are so vital in digital IO and timer applications that its not funny.
If you can't determine ho
w to do what you need from a timing diagram, just send me a copy, let me know what the basic specs are of the DAQ 700 (how many counters, interconnect capabilities, etc) and I can try to help.
Good luck.
As far as reading the analog signal at the same time...well, look at my example. I generated the trigger/gate signal with the card, and then read in the analog data (on several channels simultaneously.)

Pulse width modulation with daq mx

Im trying to change the pulse width modulation on the fly with daq mx. All I have found so far are examples useing traditional DAQ, but not DaqMX. It would be a lot easier if I were to use DaqMX since I will be useing other daq applications in my program and would rather use mx.

Does this help?

Lenovo x240 and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)

Hello everyone!
Does Lenevo Thinkpad x240 use PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to control screen brightness?
If so, is there a flickering effect like in this video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpDdy9jSx7Y

There is an analog modulation with which there is no pulsation at low brightness levels. For example, HP Elitebook 8740w. Watch video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk4ckdQ9rvE
How poor the implementation of PWM (if x230 has PWM) is in this model?

I've seen all the posts for fixing the wifi on the 4s, none of them work! So, who can tell me why my iPhone 4S cannot find any wifi when it used to easily, and when it does it can never connect?

KDC Event ID 29 - The KDC cannot find a suitable certificate to use for smart card logons...

I am getting the event (below) every day on a new 2008 domain controller that I brought up recently. The DC has a domain controller certificate, that was automatically issued by an online enterprise CA. This CA is located in another domain (child domain) within the same forest. The 2008 DC is in the top-lvel domain. None of the other domain controllers , which are 2003, are reporting this message. I ran certutil.exe, and it successfully verifies all domain controller certificates, including the certificate on my new 2008 DC. Any ideas why these messages continue to appear?
The Key Distribution Center (KDC) cannot find a suitable certificate to use for smart card logons, or the KDC certificate could not be verified. Smart card logon may not function correctly if this problem is not resolved. To correct this problem, either verify the existing KDC certificate using certutil.exe or enroll for a new KDC certificate.

Hi,
I have checked the file. Here is my findings:
1.    The computer name of the domain controllers are different in this dcinfo.txt file. There is no Swampoak. I would like to confirm which one is Windows Server 2008 domain controller.
2.    The domain controller Buckeye and Madrone both have 2 KDC certificates, one is expired and the other one is valid:

Level Control with PID Control & Pulse-Width Modulation

Hi all,
I have attached my program which I'm having trouble wiring up in the block diagram.... I'm fairly new to labview, but basically I have a level control project with an analog input cistern arm turning a pot for my test tank (configured as DAQ assistant voltage analog i/p) and a pump working off a reservoir (configured as DAQ assistant voltage digital o/p). My electrical side of things is working correctly and I have tested both DAQ assistants I/O's successfully off a basic program, minus the PID & PWM... I found a simple PID control subvi which I think I have wired up correctly, apart from the output variable... I also found a bit of code for PWM using the square waveform vi (far right side of the program) which I have tried to include in the program, but I've been unsuccessful with that. The ideal operation i'm looking for with this project is to be able to enter different values for the setpoint, for the PID to kick in to find that setpoint each time using the PWM to drive the pump, which has a flow rate of 13L/min. I have a manual valve to release water from my test tank which I can set accordingly.
My questions are;
- How do I connect the 'output variable' of the PID subvi to my DAQ assistant digital output(both DAQ assistants are set at 1 sample on demand)?
I have a 'number to boolean array' function, but this gives an error saying that the number of tasks generated are not the same...
- How do I wire up the PWM bit of code? Do I need to include the 'error in & out' tabs?
-Am I on the right track with this program or am I way off the mark?!
Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time,
Richie

You're a bit off track. You need the output of the PID to go into the PWM generator, and the output of the PWM to be written to the digital output. Right now you have the output of the PID connected directly to the Digital Output in a way that won't work, and the PWM generator hanging off the side not really connected to anything. Also, the PWM generator isn't really going to work since you're generating it at the same frequency as your PID loop runs. Try a simpler algorithm such as on/off control first and see if that works for your system.
