CDEx Triangle Setpoint Profile.vi

Hi,
In the example CDEx Triangle SetPoint Profile.vi in LabVIEW 2009.Can we view a step or any other signal instead of that traingular waveform??
Thanks as kudos only
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey
The VIs that have "CDEx" in front are 'example code' that we ship with the product as an example. You can open the VI, alter it and save the modified VI with your own name.
In this example, you can replace the "Triangle waveform.vi" with any VI from "Signal Processing >> Waveform Generation" palette. For obtaining the step, you can use the "Square waveform.vi" instead. If you can't find a profile, you can always use the functions in the "Programming >> Array" and "Programming >> Waveform" palette.
Hope this helps.

Creating a Temperature setpoint Profile Automatically

Hello!!!
I would like to get some help in the following. I am using the PID setpoint profile vi to control a furnace. Usually the temperature setpoint profile that I use is a cluster of time and temperature with values that I put manually. I wonder if it possible to create a temperature profile automatically (setting only the final temperature, of course keeping constant the temperature increase rate). What I really want is to have a front panel where the furnace operator will set only the final temperature (of course I would have considered a constant temperature increase rate)
Thank you in advance

Hi Thorfano
Can you describe your temperature profile in detail. If you have a linear system, you should be able to just place a setting in your PID and the feedback will cause the necessary gains to reach this.
Thank You

Pause a PID Setpoint Profile

I am using the NI PID toolkit for Labview 7.1 and I have a need to pause the setpoint profile VI for an undertermined amount of time, and have it pick up where it left off. Has anyone done anything like this before? I am able to pause the rest of my program, but the setpoint profile seems to continue to run without regard to the pause function. There needs to be a way to make it stop counting time while pause is active and resume when pause is inactive. Any suggestions?

mdsitt,
I think that the attached vi will help. I inserted a case structure in the timing loop that makes time stand still...figuratively. There is a boolean terminal that should connect to your pause button.

Where can I see ICC Profile used by scanner?

Friends:
How can I see which ICC profile my scanner used when it scans and the scan opens in photoshop CS5?
Note: Edit>Color Settings does not show it.
Thanks
Migs

Yes, actually the little triangle bottom left can show the profile. Oddly enough my scan didnt enter PSCS5 with a profile, even though the triangle shows profiles for the scanner...
Thanks!

Toggle PID setpoint

Hi All,
Im having a bit of a problem coming up with a solution for my PID loop.
What I would like to do is to toggle the SP between two set values (0 and 5 MPa). I know you can do somthing like this with SP Profile, but this does not suit my requirements as I would like to ensure that the Process Variable reaches the SP and soaks for a set time (this is not guaranteed with SP Profile). Once this soak time is achieved, I would like to toggle setpoint (with a boolean or such). The problem i am having is getting a suitable signal that determines that the soak time has been achieved and use this signal to change the SP.
Any ideas on how this can be implemented? Anything would be of great help.
thanks in advance
David

Hello DavidT -
Have you viewed this Knowledgebase? It tells how to generate Setpoint Profile in LabVIEW for a control application and even has an example program.
As for implementing a suitable signal, perhaps another customer has had this same issue and can reply with their solution. In the meantime, I will look further into the matter. Have a great day!

Scripting an interactive labview VI

I have a large top-level VI that controls and performs data collection for many different devices and over different interfaces. I currently do all of the control interactively through the front panel UI. I would like to have my VI be able to run off a script... not an external scripting language, but something like the Setpoint Profile VI's that come with the PID control toolset.
So obviously, implementing the Setpoint Profile VI's for my temperature controllers is pretty trivial. My problem is that I have many other devices which aren't necessarily controlled the same way. For example, for PID temperature control, you would just continually set the setpoint at a given interval, but for RS232-controlled pump, you would onl
y want to send a signal to stop or start it. I would like to have the scripting be a feature of the existing interactive VI (so I can toggle between automated and manual modes with a switch), and hopefully not have to have completely separate code.
So bascially I am wondering if anyone has a good strategies or examples for doing such a thing. Here are some issues I can think of:
- is it better to have one huge script that has the settings for all devices, or should I have separate scripts and synchronize them?
- I was considering scripting the UI itself, kind of like a "ghost user" using property nodes, but recent discussions on this board tell me this is not very efficient.
- are my expectations realistic?
thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
I think that you should implement a similar idea to the SetPoint Profile VI. One of the inputs to this VI is an array of clusters where each cluster has the time-value pair (setpoint). One approach would be to change the cluster to contain time and values for each device you are trying to automate. For example, you would have time, value for the temperature control, value for the pump and so on. Since the value for the pump would be on and off, you would want to have three values: ON, OFF and IGNORE(do nothing to pump at this time). Having an array of cluster with each cluster containing time and values for all your devices will allow you to synchronize the flow of your application since the time value will be common for all the devices.
Good luck
with the application. I hope this helps.
Sincerely,

Ratio feedforward hvac

Hi all,
I am a newby to Labview running the 2010 Evaluation with Control Design and Simulation Module and PID Module.
My field is HVAC controls and I am trying to design a simulation of a control loop that implements a very simple ratio function known in the industry as outside air compensation. Here the temperature of the outside air influences the setpoint for the heating water in such a way that when the outside air temperture is say 20 degrees C the setpoint needs to be say 40 Degrees C and when the outside air temperature is say -15 Degrees C the setpoint for the heating water is 90 Degrees C. This is generally known as a heating curve and is a function every DDC (Direct Digital Control) controller in the HVAC market implements as a standard. See Picture below.
It mus be my lack of experience with LV but I cannot seem to find a function that implements this. I searched the forums and the help files, but no luck. The PID setpoint profile function provides a ramp but based on time, the PID lead Lag function also does not seem to fit. Should I use an array as an input to the PID controller setpoint or is there a better method?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Peter

Thanks, I'll try to play with the connections and see if I'll be able to understand them.
But is it possible to incorporate the PID Parameter (Rise Time, Settling Time, Overshoot, Gain Margin, Phase Margin) on the example that I have uploaded? The Example I've Seen regarding the above mentioned parameters works only if the input to the 'Time Response Function', But on the simulation example that I mentioned, I don't see any TF input to the PID since it comes from the Plant to Simulator. Does the Plant Simulator works on a specific Transfer Function?
I've uploaded the 2 files that I wanted to combine.
Thanks

Mobile Home problem with Magic Triangle

So I have been setting up a magic triangle for the past few days with an OSX Lion server. I believe it is working properly. The server is running OD and is bound to my AD. I have made an OD group which contains my AD users, and I have set that OD group to have limited application preferences (one of them is to block the App store). All my users have MacBook Airs which they will take off-site, so I enabled mobile home folders in the AD bind and in the OD group mobility settings (with confirmation required).
When I tested it today, with Airs running 10.7.4, here is what happened.
When the system was on the network, it would log a user in, ask to create the mobile account, and successfully create it. Once logged in they were limited to the application preferences that I set on the server. I considered this a complete success.
When I disconnected them from the network, I had expected that they would still be able to log in and the system would fuction the same way with the exception that they would not sync their changes until they were back on-site.
Instead...
When the same user trys to log in it says the AD server is unavailable and then logs them in anyway. However, once they are at the desktop, none of the permissions are in place. They can go to the app store, or do anything else they feel like. Once they are back on the network, all the server based preferences reappear and lock the system down.
So my questions are:
1. Should a mobile account based system compain that it cant find the AD domain when offsite?
2. Why is it not checking some cached verison of the permissions and locking down the notebook when offsite? I can tell that it is caching the user name and password (as loging in as a user the air has never seen before will simply give a login error), as it will let them in, but it is not holding any preferences.
3. How can I prevent users from simply disconnecitng from the network to bypass all my server based policies?
Hope someone can help

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem with exactly the same setup, our clients are 10.7.4 wired not wireless the OD server is 10.7.4 and the clients are authenticating via an AD 2008 R2 domain.
We've had this scenario in the past running 10.5 and 10.6 without any problems but with 10.7.4 the clients' MCX settings are lost when they're not connected to our network. It seems to only lose the settings applied to user groups but not computer groups.
At this moment in time I don't have an aswer I'm still looking, have you found a solution?
I know configuration profiles are the way forward and in the future I'll move over to them but they don't seem to work that well with PHD's at the moment.
If anyone has any thought on this it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay.

I am trying to transfer an old profile into Windows 7, but the AppData folder does not show up under my name folder in USERS. How can I find it?

When I go to Help & Troubleshooting & click Open Containing Folder I get a Windows Explorer window that shows the file path including Used-Edward-AppData, etc. But when I click on the little triangle to the right of Edward the drop down menu does not include AppData and if I just go into Windows Explorer and Users-Edward, there is no AppData folder. So I cannot overwrite the profile file with the saved profile info from my earlier laptop. The folder symbol next to Edward has a lock on it but I don't know what that means or how to unlock it.

%AppData% is the name of an environment variable.
On XP that variable points to C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders, use %APPDATA% in the File name field
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
You can use Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder

(CS4) (AS) Syntax for assigning existing Preflight Profile

Building an AppleScript workflow to tie a FileMaker database to IDCS4, using Triple Triangle's Job Spec Cubed. Very fun.
I'd like to add a tell statement to assign existing Preflight Profiles to existing documents. We have four standard preflight profiles, named "72", "150", "200", "300" and "360". I know the syntax to load the profiles from an external source, but I'm stumped on how to assign them then embed them.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set myDocument to active document
set myPage to page 1 of spread 1 of myDocument
tell myDocument
set preflight profile to "72"
end tell
end tell
Any thoughts?
Thanks

So, the correct syntax is:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set myDocument to active document
set myPage to page 1 of spread 1 of myDocument
tell myDocument
embed using "150"
end tell
end tell
for the imbed command, you can use any known preflight profile. In my case, I'm going to pass through the name of the profile as a FileMaker variable.
Very cool.
Thanks again, Shane.

"Memory Overview" not listed in Apple System Profiler

I have a beige G3 minitower running OS 10.2.6 that currently has 192 MB RAM. I am set to get more RAM for this machine, but I noticed that my Apple System Profiler doesn't even have a Memory Overview category showing what RAM is presently in which slot. (I'm used to seeing that in OS 9.2) In other words, I see the software, hardware, network, and production information overviews in the System Profile tab but not the Memory overview. (I get the 192 MB when I choose About This Mac from the Apple menu.) Did Apple discontinue the Memory Overview feature with Jaguar? Or is there some Preference or View I need to set? (The Preferences command is greyed out on the Apple System Profiler menu)It just seems strange to me that I can't get specific info on the currently installed RAM

Patroklus,
That is what is showing on the right hand side of the page, correct?
What I listed, is what is in the left column of System Profiler, when all of the Disclosure Triangles are clicked, and pointing down.
I then click on Memory, to highlight it, and on the right side of the Profiler,
my Memory Slots are displayed.

Profile for Nikon AFS 17-35 f/2.8?

Is there a profile available for Nikon AFS 17-35 f/2.8? I cannot find it.

You're welcome for the info. and profile.
Yes, you should back the lens profile from the user contributed database, up to your local machine (your own hard drive) so you will not have to search for it each time.
WIthin Photoshop CS5, in the Lens Profile menu(that you have reached by choosing "Filter" on the top menu, then "Lens Correction"), you will see the middle menu on the right which states "Lens Profiles". Immediately to the right of this title is a small icon, that looks like a miniature triangle with lines beside it. Click it (left click). Choose "Save Online Profile locally". The profile is automatically saved to this location(I use WIndows XP and it varies according to your operating system):
C:\Documents and Settings\HP Owner\Application data\Adobe\Camera Raw\Lens Profiles\1.0
Downloaded
The file is not named well, I tried this with the D3S Profile and it is named with mixed up letters about 50 letters long. I would rename the file(right click the file and choose rename) to something more obvious, like "Nikon 17-35mm f2.8 AFS RAW" or such, and leave the extension as it is, which is .lcp.
Thus the lens profile is saved to your hard disk and Adobe should find it and show the new name if you renamed it,when you invoke the Lens Profile command and you have an image (Raw) shot with that lens and the exif data shows that lens to be the one taking the image.

What is the risk for my Active Directory when you make a magic triangle ?

Hi hello
I want know that because, i need installed a lion server in my company, in the production server.
Now i have make a magic triangle in my labo, i don't have noted a problem with my AD.
1 ) What's risk for my AD when i make a magic triangle ?
2 ) The Director Administrator ( diradmin ) of Open direcory need rights in the Active Directory for manage Mac os x client ? if yes what's rights ?
3 ) Can confirm me that ==>>> When i want manage users Macs, i need create a local group in the open directory " MacUsers" , and in this group i add users from the "AD" is that ?? i want to be sure what i do ....
4 ) for the account computer Mac in registred in my AD, what's i can do ?
5 ) For the MCX, i appply the preference in the Users or Computer ?
Thanks you for your help

Hi
Q3 - You create a shared directory (the LDAP node) when you promote the Server to an Open Directory Master Role. Judging by what you're saying you've already done this. The Users and/or Groups you're creating after promotion will be in the shared directory (the LDAP node). You can tell which node Users and/or Groups are in by simply looking at them in the Server App. If they have a small blue globe icon on their right shoulder they will be in the LDAP node. If they don't they will be local users and not in the shared directory (the LDAP node).
To view them in WorkGroup Manager, launch the application and authenticate using the Directory Administrator account. Above the main interface window you should see a small blue globe. The shared directory will be listed by the side of this icon as: Viewing Directory: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 etc.
Q5 - MCX (Managed Cleint X) is Apple's equivalent to GPOs (Global Policy Objects). If you're familiar with Active Directory you'll know what this means.
Deprecation means "not using anymore". In other words you should not be using WorkGroup Manager to apply mac-style GPOs. You should be using Profile Manager instead. Profile Manager is the 'new' way to apply mac-style GPOs.
Profile Manager is part of Lion Server. It's also known as the MDM Server (Mobile Device Management Server).
It's up to you to decide what is good for your environment and needs. In some situations I'll use both and possibly augment them with Apple Configurator and Apple Remote Desktop. Then again in other sitations I'll use other numerous 3rd-Party tools available.
HTH?

OS X Mountain Profile Manager 10.8.5 documentation

OK, I've read the online documentation for the Profile Manager and I've had it working for some time now. What I haven't found is any detailed information regarding some of the settings (i.e., Login Window or Mobility). Without that documentation I have to apply settings, push the profile and see what happens. If it does what I think it's supposed to do great! Otherwise back to hunt and peck. I expect to have to test, but more detailed descriptions would be very helpful. I've Googled and haven't found more detailed information.
For example, if I check “Show network users” it will take a couple of minutes for the login screen to populate and you can literally scroll through the 5000+ AD accounts on our network. Obviously not very helpful for a good sized network.

Color profiles not shown on colorsync

Hello...
I have been looking for a solution to this issue for the last 2 weeks without success... may be somebody knows about it ?
Using Mac Os 10.4.11 on an Intel based Mac recently formatted (with the original cd), the color profiles existing on the folder user/library/colorsync or hd/library/colorsync does not appear on the ColorSync utility, under "profiles". So, basicaly, the ColorSync utility does not show any profile by selecting "profiles" and, of course, clicking the little triangle.
As I was not able to see the icc profiles installed with the printer driver on the print dialog on photoshop, I get the profiles on hd/library/printers/epson/inkjet printer/icc profiles, right click on the model and "show content", and then included them in hd/library/application Support/adobe/color/profiles.
By doing this, I´m able to use that profiles printing from photoshop. But I´m not happy at all with the solution, as colorsync is still not working as it must be.
Now, I´m trying to calibrate the monitor. And after calibrating, the profile created on -system preferences---display---color----claibrate-, is not shown under "display profile" on that application. I think this is part of the same problem.
Is there an expert able to give me a hand on this? How can fix it, in order to see the profiles on Colorsync, found them on photoshop and also create display profiles??

OK, we're making progress, it just seems to be some User setting/pref file, trouble is, while most are in the User's Library>Prefs, not all are.
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.ColorSyncDeviceList.<12 digitHexNumber>.plist
(There may be more than one of the above to move)
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ColorSyncUtility.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ColorSyncCalibrator.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ColorSync.Droplet.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
