Collecting digital channel inputs

Can I collect digital pulses on a digital input like l could on an analog input? I need to collect 4 inputs, each with 32 5 volts pulses, within about 110 ms. I am using a PCI-6220 card and have filled all of my analog inputs. I have a second PCI-6220 so I could go with two devices. I need to collect 4 channels of pulses from a motor and the engineer wants to see the pulses and save the date to file, no counting or timing needed. The data can be zeros and fives or zeros and ones, just need to see the pattern.
I will be collecting analog data at the same time within this time frame (finite sampling).

Hi M.Abbey,
For your application, you can use a producer consumer loop with a digital input in the producer part of the loop.
To acquire the digital input signal you can use the following example:

Multi Channel Input on Recei

http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/586/5pchinputlarge9cj.jpg[/img] width="300" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
Ok I know that for the front and rear I would use a 3.5mm stereo to RCA but for the center/sub channel what should I use? Should it be a 3.5mm mono to RCA or something different or can it be a regular stereo red and white one?
Btw how much does this degrade the quality of the sound? I hoping that this method with the multi channel inputs and nice home theater speakers sounds better than a PC speaker system like the 5500.

My setup is similar to yours.
- I have the 5. channel analog outputs of my X-Fi goes to the 5. multi-channel inputs of my preamp-processor. This setup alllow me not only to play my ripped music in 5. also allows me to play DVD-audio disc. You can also play DTS/DD encoded movies as well as long as you set the DD/DTS decoding option to off (internal decoding) in the creative console mixer.
Advantage: Can use the X-Fi CMSS-3D to get 5./7/ expansion
2- I also have the SPDIF output of the X-Fi goes to one digital coax input of my preamp-processor. This setup gives me the same processing as the above except the playback of DVD-audio disc.
Disadvantage: SPDIF will ouput only in stereo, you will need to use the receiver processing modes(Dolby prologic I/II, Neo6, Stereo 5/7) to get 5./7. expansion
For me connection 2 is the better choice for playback mode except DVD-audio, the reason is my preamp processor is a $4K unit with the highest (Audiophile) quality DACs, plus I have the flexibility of setting the bass-management of this unit independently. Plus, I have a multitude of processing modes on this unit such as : DPL-IIx, Neo-6, 5./7. Music etc... to expand a 2 channels signal into 5./7.
I can see you have a digital coax input on your receiver, just buy a mono 3.5mm to coaxial convertor. Connect the 3.5mm SPDIF end to the X-FI SPDIF flexi-jack, and the Coax digital end to your receiver Digital coax in. With this connection you need to set DD/DTS decoding on the X-Fi to ON (External decoder).

Can't get 40rv525r to search for digital channels

I'm trying to get digital channels on a 40rv525r, but I can't make it search for digital channels. After it searches (and oesn't find) any analog channels, it stops without searching for any digtal channels, and since there no longer are any analog channels, I can't aget any public broadcast channels.

Take a look at the user's guide here.
Page 29 (30 of the .pdf) contains a section called "Configuring the antenna input source for the ANT/CABLE terminal."
You can also set it to digital mode only. See page 37 (38 of the .pdf).
For more help, you can contact customer support at (800) 631-3811.

Can I use Bulk Collect results as input parameter for another cursor

MUSIC            ==> remote MUSIC_DB database, MUSIC table has 60 million rows
PRICE_DATA ==> remote PRICING_DB database, PRICE_DATE table has 1 billion rows
These two table once existed in same database, but size of database exceeded available hardware size and hardware budget, so the PRICE_DATA table was moved to another Oracle database. I need to create a single report that combines data from both of these tables, and a distributed join with DRIVING_SITE hint will not work because the size of both table is too large to push to one DRIVING_SITE location, so I wrote this PLSQL block to process in small blocks.
QUESTION: how can use bulk collect from one cursor and pass that bulk collected information as input to second cursor without specifically listing each cell of the PLSQL bulk collection? See sample pseudo-code below, I am trying to determine more efficient way to code than hard-coding 100 parameter names into 2nd cursor.
NOTE: below is truly pseudo-code, I had to change the names of everything to adhere to NDA, but below works and is fast enough for my purposes, but if I want to change from 100 input parameters to 200, I have to add more hard-coded values. There has got to be a better way.

I've got a problem when using passing VARRAY of numbers as parameter to remote cursor: it takes a super long time to run, sometimes doesn't finish even after an hour as passed.
Continuing with my example in original entry, I replaced the bulk collect into PLSQL table collection with a VARRAY and i bulk collect into the VARRAY, this is fast and I know it works because I can DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE cells of VARRAY so I know it is getting populated correctly. However, when I pass the VARRAY containing 100 cells populated with SONG_IDs as parameter to cursor, execution time is over an hour and when I am expecting a few seconds.
Below code example strips the problem down to it's raw details, I skip the bulk collect and just manually populate a VARRAY with 100 SONG_ID values, then try to pass to as parameter to a cursor, but the execution time of cursor is unexpectedly long, over 30 minutes, sometime longer, when I am expecting seconds.
IMPORTANT: If I take the same 100 SONG_IDs and place them directly in the cursor query's where IN clause, the SQL runs in under 5 seconds and returns result. Also, if I pass the 100 SONG_IDs as individual cells of a PLSQL table collection, then it also runs fast.
I thought that since the VARRAY is used via select subquery that is it queried locally, but the cursor is remote, and that I had a distribute problem on my hands, so I put in the DRIVING_SITE hint to attempt to force the result of query against VARRAY to go to remote server and rest of query will run there before returning result, but that didn't work either, still got slow response.
Is something wrong with my code, or I am running into a Oracle problem that may require support to resolve?

Apple TV3 HDMI - DVI jack fine. TV has no DVI digital audio input.

I can buy a converter from HDMI to DVI for video, My TV does not have a digital audio input for the optical cable. I may be able to plug into my sony surround sound amp in to the SA-DC CD in optical port and just play through the surround sound all the time? Which would not give me sound if I used the TVs internal speakers? Or there may be a converter from an optical audio to a R & L DVI Audio Input Jack?

Before you do just note that HDMI is the only supported connection so there will be no guarantee with any converter used. If it does work you will be unable to view protected content, unless your monitor specifies HDCP compliance. Functionality could also cease at any time.
The optical port is for connecting to a receiver, which you would need to do as DVI doesn't carry audio.

Digital audio input via mini jack/toslink from ADA, monitored via USB audio output... is this do-able? I know digital audio input should be okay but how do I monitor it, apart from using the internal speakers?

Digital audio input via mini jack/toslink from ADA converter, monitored via USB audio output to amplifier... is this do-able? I know digital audio input should be okay but how do I monitor it, apart from using the internal speakers?

You can output audio thru HDMI, with appropriate adapter.
You can use additional cheap external usb audio for monitoring.

Can I use HDMI port on my Macbook Pro for digital audio INPUT?

Trying to find a way to get digital audio input to my new MBP with retina. HDMI supports audio and video, so can I use that port as an input?

It is not recommenced to use TimeMachine in a partition, either on the boot drive or externals because of problems in the past with that arrangement.
You also need hardware protection in addition to software protection.
If you want to do what I do, which is have a second 50% partition bootable clone of the first.
1: Use BootCamp software to create yourself a 50% sized partition, then exit the program. (you also can do it in Disk Utility, but it's tricky)
2: Head to Disk Utility and select the BOOTCAMP partition and change it's name and format to OS X Extended Journaled.
(To map off bad sectors in advance, use Disk Utility Erase with the next to last on the right selection, improves reliability and makes for faster reads)
3: Download Carbon Copy Cloner, now select your Macintosh HD partition and clone it to the second partition.
4: Whenever you want to boot from the second partition, just hold the option key down on the keyboard to select it to boot from.
You can access the folders on the second boot partition as well, to grab deleted files you accidentally erased (which is a rare thing for most to occur) however you should leave it alone and as a clone.
You can update the clone when you need to, or schedule it to run automatically.
You should also do this occasionally with a external drive, as the internal drive can die and take both partitions with it.
I currently do this with my laptop, that way if I'm mobile and have a serious issue, I can boot from the cloned partition in seconds without carrying a drive around. If I need large space for something I wasn't aware of, I can erase the clone partition and later clone it again.
Software does all the work, just pick a time your not using the machine and let it work. Painless really.

Digital Audio Input Specs

I'm looking for detailed specs or info about the digital audio input (mini 1/8" hybrid input) on the MBP. More specifically, I would like to know if the audio passed through (at up to 24 bit/192kHz) is free at the receiving end (within Logic) from sample rate conversion and work length truncation as well as handled "transparently" (without going through internal level control, dithering or noise shaping of any kind).
In other words, Is the 1/8" spdif audio input "transparent" and suitable for professional audio recording via a high end AD converter?
Thanks to anyone who has some info on the subject.

thanks for the link to that doc, actually had seen it already. it's good but it doesn't really give exactly the information audio pros are looking for.
as for the wordclock via BNC, that is not necessarily true. word clock is also a part of the spdif spec, it can be included in the stream. back in the day, eons ago when I had a DAT recorder and a yamaha 03D digital mixer, I would always make sure that the DAT recorder was the clock master, and the 03D synced to it. there was never any need for a BNC connection, it all went through the spdif itself. sending wordclock through BNC cables is really for when you have many digital devices and you need to chain them together to sync wordclock, it's not necessary for just going between two devices.
but, do you know for a fact that somehow the spdif on the MBP simply leaves out wordclock data? if that's the case, then why does it give you options for choosing which source to use as the clock? if it were only possible via BNC cables, then having that option would be pointless unless there were BNC ports on the MBP, last time I checked there weren't any.
...I guess we really need proper info on this..

Xbox digital audio input and then output through MacBook digital audio port

Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm trying to output a Dolby Digital (I think AC3) signal from my Xbox 360 into the MacBook's digital audio input and then output it through the digital audio output. I can output 5.1 sound from the MacBook itself but I can't get the Xbox audio to pass through. I don't know if the audio is at a sample rate not supported or needs decoding or what!
Any help would be appreciated!

If that doesn't work, I'm not quite sure.
A combination of the Audio MIDI Utility (in Applications/Utilities), SoundSource, LineIn, and Soundflower (http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/) might work, otherwise I'm stumped. Your best bet is probably a dedicated external USB or FireWire audio interface.

How do I get signal from Digital Optical input (Extigy) to the Creative PlayCent

How can I rip MP3's from the Digital Optical input on the Extigy? The PlayCenter does not seem to have any interest in the Extigy/USB as an input source. Thank you for your help!!?

Since you are talking about variables, I suppose that you are using CP4, right?
There is a fine tutorial in de CP4-help, chapter 'Variables and advanced actions', 'Tutorial on scripting' which explains more elaborately what I will try here:
Create a user variable, p.e. named 'vName' (Project, Actions, sheet Variables)
Ask the user to enter his name in a Text Entry Box; in the properties of this TEB, sheet Advanced you indicate that this name should be put in your variable 'vName'
Wherever you want to show this name, create a Text Caption and insert your variable by the button 'Insert variable'; this button is present in the properties window and also in the formatting toolbar if you are editing in place (look for X and and arrow); the variable in the text caption will show as '$$vName$$' and in the published SWF you will see the username.
Hope this could help you, but please check the tutorial.

PCI 6601 Counter stops when digital channel operated

This is a problem being re-visted from last year after thinking I had found a solution.
Basically I have set two while loops up.
Each While loop has a counter channel running in it, Ctr0 and Ctr3 respectivly.
When the program is run the two counter channels generate a waveform as expected.
I then have added into each While loop Digital output channels that provide logic for Direction and Enable.
If the program is now run Ctr0 outputs as expected but Ctr3 remains off.
I then put the digital WRITE vi's into case statements, put the case to false and started the program.
Both counters outputted waveforms.
Turned one of the case statements on and Ctr3 stops. It did not matter which case statement was turned off, Ctr3 always stops.
Tried changing counters to Ctr1 and Ctr2 - Same result one counter stops
Changed the 6601 for a 6602 and got similar results.
I have attached vi in version 8.6

Is DAQmx Read limited to 9 digital channels?

I'm trying to read multiple digital channels with DAQmx Read (Digital 1D Wfm NChan NSamp). The output the DAQmx Read vi is a 1D array of digital waveforms. If I put that output through Array to Cluster the resulting cluster seems to be limited to 9 elements, data[0] through data[8]. Is the DAQmx Read output limited to 9 digital waveforms? I'm using Labview 2009.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Converting an array to a cluster to use unbundle to break out the elements of the array is a hack.
You should be using Index Array to get the elements. You can resize that function so that you can have additional outputs. You won't even have to wire up any constants for the indices usually. The top element will be element 0, the next element 1, element 2, and so on down to the bottom of the function.

UCCX 7.0(1)SR03 - I need a Script to collect digits and write to file

I'm trying to come up with a script that will Collect digits and write them to a file. XML, CSV, I really don't care what type of file. Is this possible?
Thank you
Jacob

Yes this is possible. You would use a Collect Digits step, Keyword Transform Document step, and a Write Document step.
The Keyword Transform is the important one, it works like a template. Most of the file is boilerplate and there is a single variable %var% that you can write the collected value to.
This is not a way to write to a file like a log file would be. You are allowed 1 file per call.
If you are looking to track caller collected digits per call over time, I would suggest using Set Enterprise Call Info step and use one of the Custom Call variables. Then pull them out of the database with a custom report or use the canned CCV report.

Start by looking around the examples that ship with LabVIEW (if you are
using LabVIEW).
Also look around zone.ni.com for general data acquisition information &
examples. A good site.

OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO INPUT SPECIFICATIONS

I'm trying to find out what sample rates the digital optical input will accept as OK. I have a mic preamp that has a Spidif output that can select what sampling rate it sends out. Choices are the normal 44.1, 48, & 96K and 88.2 also. The first 3 rated are industry standards. Ideally I would like to set the sample rate output from the preamp to the rate "prefered" by the early 2009 Mac Pro 8 core if there is one, but I'm unable to find any mention of sample rates used by the Mac Pro input circuit.
The reason I'm asking, is that when I try to set system preferences of sound input, There is absolutely no level indication of an incoming signal when Digital input is selected as you can see in the screen grab below:
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the tip. I had forgotten completely about that utility. Unforntunately, it didn't shed any light on the problem.
Even though I'm a longtime music & audio addict I made the mistake of overlooking the connections making good contact. Both the Mic Preamp and the DIgital audio converter had never been used before just like the new SPDIF cable w RCA connectors. I pushed the cable in until I felt resistance but didn't realize it wasn't fully seated.
After re reviewing my previous steps taken I noticed that the Digital audio converter was not showing a valid source signal. I inspected the connection once again and found I'd made a mistake that many newbies make, not unpluging & repluging connections when chasing down a missing signal.
Happy trails,
Ken
