Connecting a 35670A to labview signalexpress

Hello all,
I am rather new to using signal express,
First problem I have is I will be using the LE version of signal express, will this program be sufficient to run a VI for the 35670A,
Also it says you get a 30day trial which I have not for some reason, but do get 10 minute window,
Im going to try and sort out why the 30 day trial has not activated properly,
But what I want to know is how to setup the VI and get signal exspress to see the 35670A, I am using agilents I/O libraries and a agilent GPIB to USB cable.

Hi RGAK, Welcome to the NI Discussion Forums!
SignalExpress does not run VIs, for this you'll need LabVIEW. If you didn't mean VI specifically, could you share a screenshot of what you have so far?
Regards,
Ben Clark

Multimètre numérique compatible avec Labview SignalExpress.

Bonjour,
Je suis à la recherche d'un mutlimètre numérique compatible avec Labview. Je viens de trouver un multimètre qui est comptible avec le logiciel LabVIEW SignalExpress et possédant un port RS232 (Tektronix DMM4020).
Je me demande si ce multimètre peut être utilisé avec le logiciel Labview? (sachant qu'il n'a pas de port GPIB)
Merci d'avance pour vos réponses.
Jérémy

Bonjour,
Merci d'avoir posté sur le forum NI.
Vous trouverez à ce lien le driver permettant de connecter votre multimètre et LabVIEW.
Je vous conseille quand même de télécharger ce driver depuis LabVIEW (Ecran d'accueil de LV >> Rechercher des drivers d'instruments...) en entrant le nom de votre multimetre dans le champ prévu à cet effet.
Passer par LV vous permettra d'instaler directement la palette correspondant à votre instrument.
Cordialement,

Moving Averages in Labview SignalExpress

Hi everyone,
I am measuring power consumption values from a PC system at 25k samples/sec and looking for a way to calculate the 1-sec and 5-sec moving averages via Labview SignalExpress (Unfortunately I don't have Labview to custom-implement this). One person suggested using FIR low pass filter instead, but I am not quite sure what values I need to set for "number of taps" and "cutoff frequency" values to have it act like a 1-second and 5-second moving average. Any suggestions here?
Also, does anyone have a .VI from Labview for a moving average functionality, which I can use in my Labview SignalExpress setup?
Thanks,
--Serhan

Serhan,
If you are just aiming to smooth out your signal and reduce noise, than an FIR filter would work fine, but it sounds like you are trying to achieve an exact moving average. Unfortunately, there are entire textbooks on filter design and getting the filter to accomplish that with great accuracy would be a feat. It is true that the moving average is a form of the FIR filter.
I had some old code that took the running average of 100 samples in SE, but I'll have to look for it when I get to work tomorrow. I'll post again when Ifind it.
I don't have any moving average VI's handy, but that would probably be the easiest way to accomplish this. Maybe someone can distribute their VI to Serhan?

What kind of FIR filter in Labview SignalExpress Tektronix Edition?

I am using FIR filter in Labview SignalExpress Tektronix Edition to process signal acquired from the TDS3032B.But i dont know what kind of this filter(Window,least-squares,or equiripple...).Does any one know about this?

To detect if pen drive is connected or not in labview

i want to detect if pen drive is connected or not using labview

Go to Solution.

Hi
One simple method you can use to list out the folders of your computer.
If any USB Pendrive is connected with your computer you will get the Pen Drive Name.
First get all number of drives. Make constant this value if next time with your pendrive you get the number of element is more then the fixed one then you can say external device is connected with PC.
May be this is not the standard method to detect the device, but it can solve your issue.

When I try to run LabView signalexpress 2012 and try to open an example or or create a new project, LaBView begins to load then crashes at initialing Style phase. My OS is XP SP3 French, my PC a DELL Optiplex 790. I have uninstall my antivirus, update windows, installed last patch fp3 LabView 2012, but always the same issue. I send screen shot and windows event as attached document.
Thank in advance for your help

Hello Rhingray,
Have you tried to uninstall Signal Express and to reinstall it ?
By the way have you tried to reinstall .Net Framework 4 ?

Labview SignalExpress (2.0) Dual-core capable?

I've read that the full-blown Labview is fully multithreaded and can take full advantage of multicore, can SignalExpress? The machine I am evaluating on is a rather aged P4 (2.0 GHz I believe) and I'm finding my task to be rather CPU intensive, so I will probably put SignalExpress on a Core2 Duo machine if we purchase the package.

Yes, because LabVIEW SignalExpress is built on the same LabVIEW technology, all of your projects automatically take advantage of muticore architectures.

LabVIEW SignalExpress overload indication

I was just wondering if LabVIEW SignalExpress 2010 had an overload indication/rejection feature, and if so where I could find it. I am currently using a PXI-4462 card with the trial version of SignalExpress.
Thanks,
Greg

Please post to the SignalExpress board. Very few users of it here. You might want to also explain what you want to give an overload indication of.

LabVIEW/SignalExpress: How can I automate measuring the time between two pulses?

Hi everyone, bit of a newbie here so please bear with me.
I'm a student at a university conducting a muon decay experiment with an oscilloscope connected to some photomultipliers. To summarize, if a muon enters the detector it will create a very small width pulse (a few ns). Within a period of 10µs it may decay, creating a second pulse. The oscilloscope triggers on the main pulse 5-15 times per second, and a decay event happens roughly 1-2 times per minute. I am trying to collect 10 hours of data (roughly 1500-2000 decay events) and measure the time it takes for each decay.
I've been able to set recording conditions in SignalExpress that starts recording on the first pulse and stops recording on the last. The Tektronix TDS 1012 oscilloscope however feeds 2500 points of data from this snapshot into a text file (for use in excel or other software). Even if I perfectly collected the data, I would have 100,000+ data points and it would be too much to handle. I don't know how (or if it's possible) to reduce the sample size.
To conclude, using Labview or SignalExpress, I would like to be able to have the software
1. Differentiate between the single pulse detections and double pulse decay events
2. Record only when two pulses appear on the oscilloscope
3. Measure the time between these two pulses and ONLY that to minimize the amount of data recorded.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!

Hi wdavis8,
I am not that familiar with Tektronix, but there should be a place in the dialog that you go through when you create the action step to acquire date to specify a sampling rate. That would allow you to reduce the number of data points you are seeing, but may reduce the quality of the data.
If it’s just a matter of that much data being hard to dig through when you have that many points, you could do some analysis on the data after the fact, and then create a new file with only the data you want to look at. For example, you could identify the peaks in the data, and based on the distance between them or the difference in magnitude, selectively write data to a new file.
Here is some information about peak detection in LabVIEW:
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3770/en/
You could also do some downsampling on the data to get fewer data points:

https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-28976
Those are just a few quick ideas.

How to connect external sensors to labview?

i want to ask How can i connect external sensors to NI labview for my final year project.? here are my lists of sensors:
a. Temperature sensor (LM35)
b. Humidity sensor (HH10D)
c. Light sensor (LDR)
d. Moisture sensor

simply_me wrote:
I've used the NI's bread board (with DAQ assistant initially) when I was in school. We used it for temp, light, and etc... measurements, the whole system is very straight forward. I would say having the option to simulate signals is a big plus in that. From what you described, I don't think the "slower" rate of data acquisition will disturb you at all. But more information is needed on your sensors and general functional spec.
@ NIquist & RTSLVU, please correct me if I'm misleading/wrong :-)
Is that the ELVIS stuff? Very neat but kind of pricey (unless the school is paying! )
Again, the low-cost USB DAQs from NI or MC are the way to go for the OPs project. I am assuming that he has enough electronics background to make simple signal conditioning circuits for his sensor chips.

How to connect mysql database to labview and plot the graph

Hi all,
I am doing my final year project about labview. I need to connect my mysql workbench database to labview and plotting two sinwave in same graph. I can already connected my labview to mysql and showing the data in labview table.But I need to plot the two sinwave in on graph according to table data. Eg: table data&colon;      timestamp   wind speed wind direction
                                                                                                                                                                                                 2004-01-01        0.5                 56

The attachemtn vi is about inserting file and plot the graph. And now I want plotting the sinwave using table data and the wind speed Y-axis,wind direction Y-axis in both side of my graph and the X-axis is showing the whole day timing like 00:00:00-24:00:00.  Can anybody combine these 2 vi to polting the graph according table data not according to file data.Thanks
