Configuring Encoders Counts per Revolution using a flexmotion function

Hello,
I am having a problem configuring a connected encoder in labview using the flexmotion function.
The setting:
I am building a labview vi I want to run on a computer with the connected hardware. But I may NOT have access to the machine to configure it with the "Measurement and Automation Explorer". The hardware may vary too, thus I have to detect and then configure it. I want my VI to set all necessary parameters before I start moving the hardware. I am pretty much done with this.
The problem:
I cannot find a way to configure the 'Encoder Counts per Revolution' as shown in picture 2. There is no function in the Motion menu as shown in picture 1. There does not seem to be a function in the FlexMotion32 library (shown in picture 3) to do this either.
I read through the FlexMotion Software Reference Manual (http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/321943b.pdf) and tried to find an answer in multiple forums but was unsuccessful.
The question:
Does anyone have an idea about a function in the FlexMotion32.dll that I could not find? Or any other way to configure the encoders within LabView?
I appreciate any ideas and thank you for taking your time reading this.
Best,
Frank.

  • Read "Encoder counts per revolution" in Labview

    Hello,
    I have set up an 'NI Motion Device' in the Measurement & Automation Explorer.  I would like to read the value of 'Encoder counts per revolution' in labview.
    I do not want to re-enter the value of 'Encoder counts per revolution' in my labview code;  I would like to write the value once (in the Measurement and Automation explorer), and then have labview read this value.
    How does labview access this value?
    Regards,
    Myles

    After speaking with a few different applications engineers at NI (see ref#2042315), the 'NI Motion' module only supports setting the counts per revolution (not reading them).  The 'NI SoftMotion' module allows for the reading of "Encoder Counts per Unit' under the softmotion property node.

  • READ Counts/Steps per Revolution value from Max into LV?

    Greetings,
    I'm new to LabVIEW Motion, and was wondering if there is a way to poll the MAX settings for "Stepper Steps per Revolution"  from inside a LabVIEW VI.
    I believe I have found a function that allows you to programmatically set (or perhaps over-ride) the MAX setting - "Load Counts/Steps per Revolution". However, after traversing the Motion Control function palettes more times than I would prefer to disclose, I can see no equivalent function to READ the current settings. This doesn't seem like it should be an obscure function -- am I missing something obvious?
    My application will potentially run on several different hardware configurations. The Stepper Steps per Revolution will be set-up in MAX by a technician when each system is installed. I was hoping the "per-axis" settings for this parameter can be retrieved, displayed, and used for scaling calculations in my LabVIEW application. Is there any way to query MAX for this parameter setting?
    Thanks in advance.

    As described in this article in the NI knowledgebase, it's not possible to read this parameter in LabVIEW. As you have already found out, you can set it but not read it with a vi, so if you need to know this value in your program, you need to set it there (e. g. read it from a custom configuration file).

  • How do I configure a counter to generate pulses using DAQmx?

    How do I configure a counter to generate pulses using DAQmx?
    Is says in the DAQmx C reference help
    "CtrnInternalOutput—The signal at this internal terminal is where the pulsed or toggled output of the counter appears. The output of a counter pulses or toggles when the counter reaches terminal count. When counting down, the counter reaches terminal count when the count reaches zero. When counting up, the counter reaches terminal count when the counter rolls over. To configure the counter to toggle or generate pulses, use the Export Signal function/VI with Counter Output Event as the signal name."
    I've tried this but can't get it to work, I may have the parameters wrong or something. The DAQmxExportSignal() function is very unintuitive to me. Here is my counter config code...
    int ret = 0;
    ret = DAQmxCreateTask("",&task_);
    errorMsg(ret);
    if (ret != 0)
    throw ret;
    // Configure the counter
    ret = DAQmxCreateCOPulseChanTicks( task_, "Dev1/ctr0", "", "/Dev1/PFI8", DAQmx_Val_Low, 0, divider, divider );
    errorMsg(ret);
    ret = DAQmxCfgImplicitTiming( task_, DAQmx_Val_ContSamps, 1000 );
    errorMsg(ret);
    // Change to pulse mode
    ret = DAQmxExportSignal( task_, DAQmx_Val_CounterOutputEvent, "/Dev1/Ctr0InternalOutput" );
    errorMsg(ret);
    // Start the counter
    ret = DAQmxStartTask(task_);
    errorMsg(ret);
    The above code works fine, in toggle mode, if I just comment out the DAQmxExportSignal() part.
    HELP!!!
    Stefan

    The problem is due to the DAQmxExportSignal call.  By default, when you create a counter output pulse train task, the driver will automatically set the output of the counter to toggle when the count for each high ticks and low ticks expire.  The driver also automatically routes the signal present at Ctr0InternalOutput terminal (the output of the counter internal to the device) to the Ctr0Out terminal (the I/O pin available externally).  Using the line
     ret = DAQmxExportSignal( task_, DAQmx_Val_CounterOutputEvent, "/Dev1/Ctr0InternalOutput" );
    will tell the driver to tristate the Ctr0Out terminal and not output the signal to the external I/O pin.  Using the DAQmxExportSignal function is generally only useful if you want to route the signal to some other terminal internal to the board without having the output show up on the external connector, route the signal to some other external pin other than the default pin, or if you want to have the output show up at multiple locations. 
    If you want to change the output behavior from toggle to pulse, you need to use the DAQmxSetExportedCtrOutEventOutputBehavior function.  However, this is generally only useful if all you care about are edges (not the duty cycle of the pulse train), and you want to generate higher frequency signals.  For example, with a 20 MHz timebase as the source of your counter, you can only generate a 5 MHz pulse train by default.  This is because the minimum value for the low and high ticks parameter is 2 (20 MHz / 4 = 5 MHz).  By changing the output behavior form toggle to pulse, you can generate a pulse train at 10 MHz since the output is now pulsing instead of toggling.  However, the width of each pulse is not programmable so you will no longer have a 50% duty cycle signal.  I don't remember exactly what the width of each pulse is, but I believe it's in the neighborhood of 50 - 100 nanoseconds in width.  I hope this information helps.

  • What counter method to use for measuremen​ts on combustion engine

    Hello,
    Here is my dilemma. I want to measure the rpm of crank/cam shaft and thus I need to determine which of the three methods to use to get accuracy +-5rpm and couple of readings during one revolution of the shaft.
    The hardware: NI PCI 6120-two counters
    IRC 360-3600 pulses
    Lets say I want to measure the range of rpm of the crankshaft from 100rpm(1.7Hz) to 10000rpm(166.7Hz). If I use the IRC with 720pulses I get the frequency range I will be measuring 1200Hz-120kHz assuming the IRC is on the crankshaft.
    So my question is which of the methods to use? I did some calculations to determine that
    1) 1 counter - the calculated rpm if the real rpm was 6000 would be between 5973-6017 which is not good enough
    2) 2 counters, high freq - I would have to be using the frequency of the gate around 1Hz to get desired accuracy at 100rpm which is not suitable since I also want to have more readings through one revolution - do I understand it right? That would mean for example at 6000rpm I would have to wait 100revolutions to get one rpm reading, right?
    3) seems as the right choice but still the acuracy is not good enough. If I use the divider of 10 it gives me 72readings per one revolution if the IRC is set to 720 pulse. If I measure at 6000rpm the diversion is then +-3rpm. But with 10000rpm and 3600pulses per revolution of the irc the diversion is already +-40
    What method is used for this kind of measurement? How to improve  accuracy?
    Thanks

    Hi Ceties,
    Yes, if you want to measure 600 kHz signal, the error will increase. I thought you were intend to measure upto 120 kHz.
    In Method III, we do the following:
    We have a known time period (1 ms), we have a frequency to measure (100 kHz), we will know how many pulses are going to be in that period ([100*e3]*[1*e-3]=100). First, we would like to divide this frequency with the first counter: we generate another known pulse train for 1 ms period with i.e. 500 pulses. In this case the rate will be 100/500 = 1/5.
    Know, we are able to measure a lower frequency signal (100 kHz*1/5 = 20 kHz) with Method I. Which results a much more accurate measurement. That is the theory behind Method III.
    Pulses per revolution to read will remain the same in each case: (frequency to measur)/(basis clock); in different methods we are trying to increase accuracy with measuring either a longer period (Method II) or diveded frequency (Method III).
    I hope it will help moving forward with your project!

  • Average my data per revolution

    Hi, I have a LV program that acquires simultaneous data. I have crank angle data from a shaft encoder and a voltage reading. To make things simpler lets say, for every 1 degree crank angle (CA), I have 1 voltage (V) reading - so that’s 360 data points per revolution. LV records data all the way from 0 to 359, then returns to 0 for the next revolution.
    My data goes something like this:
    CA          V
    0              2
    1              3
    2              5
    3              5
    359         10
    0              3
    1              2
    2              4
    359         12
    0              1
    1              4
    ...            ...etc
    Is there any way I can rearrange my data so that it gives me the revolution data side by side so that it can be average, so for the above it would be:
    CA          V (rev 1)               V (rev 2)               V (rev 3)               V (average)
    0              2                              3                              1                              2
    1              3                              2                              4                              3
    2              5                              4                              ...
    3              5
    359         10                           12                                                           ... etc
    If it cannot be average in labview – that is not too much of an issue since I could easily just do it in excel too. But, I need the data side by side at least. The crank angle interval does not change per revolution.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Notay

    Hi,
    I'm reading into your post that your data is saved in a text file. 
    You could store it in an array, changing the column index every 360th point.  Then you can average it and put that value in the final column.  The first column would be the degree value. 
    Also, you can use the size of the array function to get the number of columns, subtract one for the degree column, and use that size to compute the average.

  • Line count per organizational unit

    We maintain information about the user, phone association and organizational unit (OU) in DC directory. We need to know total line count per OU, i.e 200 phones for division 1, 500 for div 2, etc.
    I can get the phone list from AXL/SOAP or decicelistx (it is CCM 4.1). Both of them give me phone desc, MAC, extension, IP, etc., but I can't get the OU associated with that user. Is there a way to retrieve user's OU as well or do I need to pull it via LDAP against DC directory?

    getUser (as well as addUser/updateUser) actually accesses the DC directory.
    Direct ldap access is also possible though. There's just one consideration when choosing the technology: with CCM 5.0 and above there's no DC directory anymore so (although then you can send a sql request via AXL which is more efficient than getting users via AXL though).
    So I guess unless you need seamless upgrade (only changing the URL and http to https) when upgrading CCMs, you're better off using ldap.
    Keep in mind though, you will need a link between phones and users to make this work.. or if you use extension mobility, you need to look up the user device profiles associated with each user then look up the lines on those profiles (using an sql query via axl.. this translates almost 1:1 to versions 5.0+) to get the line numbers.

  • How many mails i can send at a time per day using APEX mail system?

    HI,
    I am working on application, when i have written a process to send mail, i have a project where i have to send mail at a time for all the email id's
    given list there are upto 5000 email id's where text body also include certain set of data from a report. thinking at a time 3000 its difficult i divided
    it region wise, but still each region have 2000 odd email id's. during testing when i run the process just 950 mails i could send then i got a error
    saying "ORA-20001: You have exceeded the maximum number of email messages per workspace. Please contact your administrator." so please
    can any one help me to know How many mails i can send at a time per day using APEX mail system?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi jfosteroracle,
    You are getting the error may be the following reason,
    Check the following,
    Login as ADMIN and Goto -->Manage Instance-->Instance Settings--> Mail-->Maximum Emails per workspace
    Actually this number denotes the Number of mails can be sent per 24 hour for the workspace,It may exceeded.
    It may be the reason.

  • Can't configure wireless settings on P1102w using a mac

    Hi there. I can't configure wireless settings on P1102w using a mac. I have it installed with USB just fine but I want to use eprint (with ios airplay). I run the setup utility looking for some wireless setup option, but it never appears. When I finish the install it tells me to go to the eprint website to download eprint. At that site it has me download the firmware update, which I do, and then at the end of that it tells me to go to the eprint website again, which then downloads the firmware update again. It's an endless loop.
    I know I need to get to the built in web server but the config page tells me I don't have an IP address. Which makes sense to me because it hasn't been set up.  I can't for the life of me find how to set up the wireless using the driver software on the Mac OS. I try to follow the manuals instructions, but it looks like it is designed for windows users, and the buttons it tells me to look for just don't exist on the mac HP driver software.
    Can you help?

    Hi,
    The Wireless configuration should be made by using the EWS page, which also accessible from Mac OS over a USB connection through the printer setup.
    You may find the steps listed below:
    Click the Apple icon, then clickSystem Preferences.
    Click Print & Fax.
    Select your printer and click Open Print Queue.
    Click on Printer Setup
    Then select Utility
    Click Open Printer Utility
    Click HTMLConfig. The EWS opens.
    Click the Networking tab
    Then click Wireless from the list on the left
    Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
    From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection  depends on which Wireless Security Protocol your network uses.
    Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
    In the confirmation box, click OK and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
    Once done, allow 3 minutes to fully establish the connection, then unplug the USB.
    Enter Print & Fax and remove the existing USB Print Queue.
    Click the Plus button and add the printer over the network.
    Please let me know of any issue,

    Do you really have a requirement to push data from Oracle to Access rather than pulling data from Oracle to Access? It would be exceptionally unusual to push data from Oracle to Access.
    Pushing from Oracle to Access would means that you want some Oracle process running that is updating Access. But you said that your Access database was on your "local desktop" which implies that it is not running on a server where it is always available. So that means that the Oracle process is going to regularly encounter (and report) errors because the Access database is not available. In turn, that's going to mean that your push process is either going to cause the underlying transaction to fail or it's going to mean that the push process is going to have to implement a fair amount of code to queue data to be pushed at a later date (and track all those changes) which is no small task. None of that seems particularly pleasant.
    On the other hand, Access is designed to pull data from real relational databases like Oracle. That's the far more normal approach architecturally. It doesn't require an Oracle process, it doesn't generate errors on the Oracle database when the local desktop is down, etc.
    And, of course, I'm assuming that introducing Access is even architecturally reasonable. Most organizations would be extremely hesitant to allow data from an Oracle database to get moved into Access because that quickly means that they lose control of the data from a security standpoint, that there are now multiple copies of the data floating around when changes & corrections are made, etc. That causes all sorts of headaches normally above and beyond the headaches that pushing from Oracle to Access would create.

  • Configuring a multiple IDOC-File using BPM

    HI,
    My scenario involves 2different idocs which are to be mapped to a file structure,the steps that i have followed in IR is ,
    1.Create target MesageType
    message Interfaces.
    2.Create 2 Abs interfaces based on IDOC
    3.Create 1 Abs for o/p of BPM.
    4.Create 1 Inb for target.
    Message mapping.
    5.Two dummy mappings for outbound idocs to abstract idocs.
    6.One multimapping(two idocs-->File)
    7.One Dummy mapping for Abstract Intf(output of BPM) to target Filestructure(inbound).
    Interface Mapping.
    8.Two Mesage intf for changing Outbound idocs to Abstract using the dummy mapping programs)
    9.One Message Intf using 2 abs Idocs to One Abs File(using the multimapping pgm)
    10.one msg Intf for BPM Out --> Inb File (using the dummy mapping pgm)
    Integration Process.
    I have used a fork step under which there are 2 recieve steps to recieve the IDOCS and then a Transformation step that would multi-map the idocs to the file,then a send step.
    Please let me know if the approach is right.
    Also Could anybody please let me know what steps do i need to take in the Configuration part and should i use the wizard or should i do it manually.
    the problem using the wizard is it doesnt let me choose 2 Message interfaces for the sender ie; IDOCS,
    Please help me on this.Thank you waiting for a reply....)

    John,
    <i>5.Two dummy mappings for outbound idocs to abstract idocs.
    7.One Dummy mapping for Abstract Intf(output of BPM) to target Filestructure(inbound).</i>
    These dummy mappings are needed. As both the Abstract Message Interfaces and the Idoc / Inbound interface will use the same message type, no dummy mapping needed. In the interface determination for these, no interface mapping needs to be mnetioned.
    ID.
    Receiver Determaintions
    1. Sender Service -- IDOC1  and Reciver Service is -- BPM. Sender Interface will be IDOC1 and Receiver Interafce will be The IDOC abs interface . No Interface mapping.
    2. Sender Service --- IDOC2 and Receiver Service is -- BPM. Sender Interface will be IDOC2 and Receiver Interafce will be The IDOC abs interface . No Interface mapping.
    3. Sender Service is BPM , and receiver servcice is File. Sender Interface is File Abs interface and reciver interface is the Inbound File interface.
    1 Reciver Agreement for the File adapter.

  • Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SF card as the default install location for software applications?

    Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SD card / external drive as the default install location for software applications? Primarily interested in apps installed from the windows store. This should be available in the settings
    charm within the windows store. This must have been overlooked in the development of windows 8.1 or is a bug.

    The registry method does not work with 8.1.  I found this out the hard way.  Doing it on 8.1 will leave you reinstalling the OS if you didn't do a SRP beforehand.
