Connecting more than one sensor cable to screw terminal to collect more than one signal in single DAQ board channel?

I don't know if this topic is being posted in the correct location. I am new to LabVIEW and the hardware associated with it. I am using an NI 9237 DAQ board for a senior design project in engineering and I was informed that I can make multiple connections to a single screw terminal which in turn will connect to one channel of the DAQ board. To give the specifics, I have two pressure transducers and would like to connect them to the same screw terminal and channel on the DAQ board yet separate them when acquiring data in the VI. Does anyone know how to do this? I know is is essentially knowing what pins do what on the screw terminal but I can't find this anywhere. I am currently doing the job with two screw terminals and two of everything else (RJ50 adapters, etc.). I would appreciate any input. Also, please let me know if I am posting in the wrong board and if possible, which board I should be posting to.
Thank You,

bsteinma,
What you may have heard is that you can measure multiple signals on the same task, not on the same channel. By tying both of these signals to the same channel, both signals will compete to drive the line. The channel on the card will only interpret this garbled signal and you will get no useful data. If you are new to wiring up hardware, I recommend configuring a task within Measurement and Automation Explorer and then clicking on the tab along the bottom of the page titled, Connection Diagram. This will show you what electrical connections to make. Then, in LabVIEW you can read multiple signals (channels) and manipulate each signal how you would like.
As far as boards go, you will generally find an answer where ever you post, but the Multifunction DAQ board is a great place to post when you have questions regarding hardware (like your 9237).

I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage. Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever. After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed. They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself. After that, the pics go over imessage. My own Iphone didn't have the problem. We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

I connected my iPod Touch to a stereo system phono input using a cable with stereo jacks (red and white) on one end and that plugs into the iPod's headphone jack. The problem is that the sound is extremely muffled and bass-heavy, with little treble.

I connected my iPod Touch to a stereo system phono input using a cable with stereo jacks (red and white) on one end and that plugs into the iPod's headphone jack. The problem is that the sound is extremely muffled and bass-heavy, with little treble. I have to turn the bass control on the stereo receiver to pratically zero in order for the sound coming through the stereo to be acceptable. Is there a setting on either the iPod or the stereo that I need to change in order to fix this?

The phono input is for a phonograph. The iPod does headphne output is not that same as a phongraph output. Does th stero have an AUX input? That should be compatible.

If I own more than one Mac, do I have to purchase lion for each one?

If I own more than one Mac, do I have to purchase lion for each one?

No... u can click on your purchases holding down the option key and it will allow you to download lion again
copy this from your applications folder to your other mac's application folder and just click install
that's what i did.
i also made a usb key of lion following these instructions...
using Lion DiskMaker

Connecting HP8620 to computer by cable

Recently purchased a HP 8620 and cannot get the internet to connect, although it will pick up my phone on the same network. I need to know what kind of cord to connect by cable to my computers, and can I connect to more than one computer at a time using this cord. thanks!

Hi pattijnr,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you cannot connect your HP Officejet 8620 to the Internet, and I am happy to help!
If you are wanting to connect the printer by a cable to the computer, it will need to be a USB 2.0 printer cable. It can only be hooked up to one computer at a time.
Otherwise, if you are wanting to continue troubleshooting the wireless connection, please visit this guide. Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Hope this helps you, and have a great day!

I need help finding a replacement hard drive/IR sensor cable for my laptop.

I have a 17" Macbook Pro from September 2009, and the hard drive cable has ripped at the junction where the hard drive cable and the IR sensor cable meet.
My brother needed to use my comp to try to transfer stuff from the hard drive from his broken laptop to an external hard drive, and the cable ripped the second time he was fiddling with it.
Here are some pics:

When searching for "macbook pro unibody 2009 17" hard drive/ir sensor cable" it doesn't come up with any for the 17" but it comes up with a bunch for 13" and 15" and it seems like the 15" ones would work for my computer.
(Like the one in the picture on this page: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Unibody+2.53+GHz+Mid+ 2009+Hard+Drive-IR+Sensor+Cable/1520/1)
I'm having no success finding a cable that looks just like the one in my comp that's specifically for the 17" that goes to the hard drive AND the IR sensor. For example, all I've been able to find so far are things like this:
http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Pro-17-Inch-Unibody-Hard-Drive-Cable /IF162-015
which does not appear to be the cable I need, as it doesn't seem as though I could attach the IR sensor cable to it.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Measuring the one sensor above and one sensor below

Hi
Cn somebody help me in measuring one sensor above and one sensor below and if thy are almost equal must stop.
I tried doing so, but i dont knw whr it is going wrong. I hv attached the program with this query.
In a large cryogenic storage system, we need to find the level of cryogenic fluids. For ths we a immersed PCB consisting of multiplexers and sensors into the storage system. We need to find the level by passing current to the PCB & measuring voltage at each sensor. We can conform the liquid level by measuring one sensor above and one sensor below the actual level.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Sujeep.

You should submit a little more detail as to what is going wrong. Also, what do V1 through V6 represent? They seem to be read from the same analog input channel. You should try passing those value through with wires rather than using local variables. If so, you could eliminate a large number of your sequence frames.
In the 4th frame of your sequence structure, you could have a race condition. You are reading V4 as a local variable around the same time you are assigning a value to V4 through the DaqMX read. You don't know whether it is using the latest V4 value or the one from the previous iteration.
I would also recommend not using the STOP sign VI. If you have a case where the program should end, you should wire the boolean out of the case structures and to the condition node of the while loop. It will allow the code to end much more cleanly. In your situation, the DaxMX close will never execute because the only way the program ends is through the STOP sign which is the equivalent of hitting the ABORT button.

Hi, I want to use my Capsule just as a back up via wireless. How do I set this up without connecting it with an ethernet cable to either a router or the iMac??

Hi, I want to use my Capsule just as a back up via wireless. How do I set this up without connecting it with an ethernet cable to either a router or the iMac??

I misunderstood what Time Capsule is and had hoped for a wireless backup device that didn't have to be connected to the router.
The TC is a wireless backup device.. it does not need to be connected to the main router..
The problem is the computer.. not the TC.. the computer has only one wireless card.. if your current internet is by wireless.. then you must choose.. internet or backup.
But my other suggestion will work.. get a wireless USB stick compatible with Mac OS.. there are plenty and cheap.. since you are in the same room as the TC they will work fine.. plug it in and load the driver.. taint hard.
You should do the first backup by ethernet though.. wireless is too slow.. once you have that, you will do fine.
Search ebay for wireless n usb.. Mac compatible..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-EDUP-Mini-Wireless-11N-300M-USB-LAN-Card-WiFi-Adapte r-Nano-Card-Soft-AP-/150864362939?pt=US_USB_Wi_Fi_Adapters_Dongles&hash=item2320 377dbb#ht_3553wt_1165
As you can see.. they are getting smaller and neater.
I have no idea if it works .. haven't tried one.. but I have used USB wireless stick on the Mac to overcome this issue.
You will need to set static IP .. not hard but you need to set specifics if you do buy one post again for the setup.

Reistallation of older or up to date iTunes versions is impossible because: "Installation package iTunes.msi is located on a network resource not available" and because "It is impossible to remuove thew previous verson of iTunes. Impossible fto find the path."
Someone can help me ???
Thank,

Take a look at iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes. Perhaps your .NET Framework needs a repair.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
