Creating an Eye Diagram in MultiSIM Blue

How do you create an eye diagram in MultiSIM Blue 13.0? I read somewhere to create a macro and I created a text file for one to add to the "User Database." Also, where are the components stored in the program? Maybe I can dump the file there. I'm very new to this so please forgive my inexperience.
Thank you for all your help.

Hello Fernando.
Thanks for replying.
I cannot post or describe the circuit because it's proprietary. I tried to attach a pdf describing how to create an eye diagram in Spice but I kept getting an error. The eye diagram is a very important tool to visualize data patterns and I'm trying to create either a macro or a circuit. The oscilloscope functions in MultiSIM do not allow this. How can this be done?
Here are 3 sample macros that should work:
pi=4*atan(1)
mod(a, b) = (b)*(atan(tan(((a)/(b))*pi-pi/2))+pi/2)/pi
eye_sweep(p, d) = mod(time+(p)/2+(d), p) - ((p)/2+(d))
Best regards, Jesse.

Help w/ Eye Diagrams and Mask Tests

I could use some experienced help here
So i have a scope capture of a representative signal that will be used in this VI.
I have several problems which i could use some help with.
1) Trying to create an EYE diagram out of this waveform. Because it is repeating i have already have the algorithm to chop it up into seperate 'waveforms', how would i go about displaying something like this as an eye diagram with the LV graphs? I have tried everything i can think of, i cant just use build waveform or hardwire anything because the # of Voltage arrays will differ every time in real usage.
What i did is create a waveform chart, i build a waveform type w/ dt and the Y values and plug it in. I was hoping to use the 'scope' setup as from the description in help seemed to do what i wanted, but it does not seem like it overlays onto the graph.
Basically i need a way to create a multiplot graph from X,Y coordinates and dynamically increment the number of plots until its done. Hopefully that makes sense.
2) Eventually i also need to do a multi part mask test on this 'infinite persistence' signal if you were. This shouldnt be too hard as i will have the arrays of voltage at my disposal from above that i can loop through. My question regarding Mask tests is this, for this particular mask test there are 4 actual masks. An upper & lower and 2 'eyes' that it must clear, it seems LV's express mask testing only lets you do a top/bottom mask.
What would be the best way to do mask tests like this? Use the express VI and split it into 2 parts and 'and' them together? Or would doing it more manually with some of the non express mask stuff prove to be easier?
I got many more questions but i'll stick with that for now Thanks in advance!

Here they are... Note that in the SubVI I use an interpolate 1d that is available in 8.0. I do that to stretch the points out some.
I would also suggest taking a look at http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=183506&requireLogin=False

If you are using MSSQL SERVER then try creating a stored procedure like this
create proc Name
select * from Table
by executing this in sql query analyzer will create a stored procedure that returns all the data from Table
here is the syntax to create SP
Syntax
CREATE PROC [ EDURE ] procedure_name [ ; number ]
    [ { @parameter data_type }
        [ VARYING ] [ = default ] [ OUTPUT ]
    ] [ ,...n ]
[ WITH
    { RECOMPILE | ENCRYPTION | RECOMPILE , ENCRYPTION } ]
[ FOR REPLICATION ]
AS sql_statement [ ...n ]
Now Create new report and create new connection to your database and select stored procedure and add it to the report that shows all the columns and you can place the required fields in the report and refresh the report.

Integrating eye diagram into my vi.

Hi there,
I am new to LabVIEW but am using it for a project. I am doing an experiment with an optical fibre link, using DAQs to transmit a random bit sequence across the channel. I will be sending this info with LEDs and Lasers. As part of my software I need to implement an eye diagram at the receiving end.
I have had a look at 2 good options involving intensity graphs provided by Forum contributors; Evan and altenbach. I see that the intensity graph is indeed the way i need to tackle this problem.However I am finding these difficult to inntegrate with my software and I am running out of time to accomplish this and therefore cannot spend hours wasting time and playing with it.
I attach here a copy of my "still under construction" program. Currently I attempted to implement the eye diagram with a XY graph but this is not suitable.
Please could someone explain/show how to make use of the intensity graph solutions relevant to my need [i.e replacing the useless attempt i have made]
I would appreciate any comments at all.
Many Thanks,
sPieLMaN

Hi,
assuming your triggering at the same point in the signal, you should be able to use an XY graph to make an eye diagram.
There's quite a lot going on with your code - can you cut it down to a simulated signal so we know where we're trying to acheive the manipulation given some (semi) real data?
Usually for an eye diagram, you would put out a 3 bit pattern (000, 001, 010 etc) so you get two transition edges in your eye diagram taken in with a high enough speed card to catch when and how fast the transitions are occurring. You therefore need good triggering for this so you can make sure you're capturing at the same point in the data each time otherwise the overlaps mean nothing.
You say you're transmitting a random bit sequence, and there's no triggering of the acquisition in your code so you can overlay the transitions correctly on the graph. Are you seeing nothing useable on the xy graph, or is the xygraph not close enough to what you want?
For an intensity chart, you're going to have to fill in the remaining data, i.e. at present you have x and y data related to a specific line if you joined up all the points. You need to translate the value you've taken as a x,y position and plot that point as a 1+ onto the 2D array you'll pass to the intensity graph. I say 1+ because I'm assuming you want colours, and the more points you overlay over them selves, that would represent a different colour, so take the fact that there may be a point there already, read it's value, add one to it and plot it back.
I've attached an example, so you can work out where the y array from your DAQ will go with an intensity graph. You will need to sort out your triggering though so you get the same reference start point each time. The only part of my example you really need to worry about is the for loop that's taking the data in and translating a single point to an index in a zero filled array.
Setup the starting parameters on the main vi, (the "intensity graph as eye graph.vi") and hit the go button. Hit the stop button to stop after that. To see an "eye" let it run for a little while, then hit the invert button.

Creating a custom component in multisim using *.lib and *.olb files

i have *.lib and *.olb files for a pspice model. which file i have to you while creating a custom component in multisim.

Hello,
Thanks for your question. In order to create simulatable custom components in Multisim you need a SPICE model (Multisim can also understand PSpice Models). The file format for SPICE model can be different according to the manufacturer, for instance: *.cir, *.lib, *.llb. At the end of the day these files are text files that you can open with a text editor, therefore, you can simply copy and paste the model in Multisim.
Here are two good resources on component creation:
Component Creation 101
Creating a Custom Component in NI Multisim
When you reach the step where you need to enter the SPICE model, simply open the *.lib or *.olb file with a text editor, and copy and paste the model.
Hope this helps.

How to use Flash to create an interactive diagram

Hi all.
I am an extreme newbie. I would like to create an interactive diagram and somebody said I should use Flash to do it.
The idea is to create an organisational chart (like the ones you can produce in MS Word 2010). Each position will have its own box or button. When a user clicks on that box or button, a Word document or internet link will be activated and take the user to this other resource.
Is it possible to do this in Flash?
The reason why I am choosing Flash is because I would like to make alot of these diagrams and they have to go into Moodle. Apparently Flash is the only program I should use to import the diagram into Moodle.
Can anybody please help me with some advice on how to do this?
Thanks
Sharyn

For the diagram end of things... start by creating the diagram in Flash. Whatever you intend to use as clickable items, create them as movieclip symbols so that you will be able to assign instance names to them. You assign instance names by selecting the object on the stage and entering a unique name in the Properties panel where it says <Instance Name>. That name will be used in the code you will use to create the clicking/linking functionality.
The the linking end of things, start simple... create a diagram that has just one item to click and get that one item working. What you learn from that can be applied to the larger version. The same as stated in the first paragraph applies. The only additional info you need is creating the actual code. To help with that you need to decide which version of Actionscript you will be using, which might depend on which version of Flash you are using. AS3 is the most recent version of Actionscript, and it first came into being back with Flash CS3.
The first thing you need to do to make a movieclip useful code-wise is to assign it a unique instance name. So you drag a copy of it out to the stage from the library, and while it's still selected, you enter that unique instance name for it in the Properties panel... let's say you name it "btn1"
In AS3, to make a movieclip work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it. You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open. In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
   var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
   navigateToURL(req);

I want to know what I need and then how to take a pdf form I created in word and add the blue boxes so that anyone can type into my form

Hey john@adobe,
Could you please specify how exactly have you created your form.
You might need to have Acrobat installed on your computer to convert a word document to PDF.
Do you have Acrobat installed? If yes, what version? If no, then please try using the trial version of Acrobat DC (latest version) and access its features:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC
Also, let me know what kind of blue boxes are you talking about.
If you want others to edit your PDF form, then you need to make it a fillable form by choosing 'Form Editing' option from Tools pane.
Let me know more on this so that I can help you out.

Problem with virtual XOR2 in Multisim BLUE

Hello,
I'm using Multisim component Evaluator Mouser Electronics Edition (aka Multisim BLUE). The component database suffers from a total lack of logic gate ICs. My design includes a 4070 (quad 2-input XOR) with VDD = 0V and VEE = 15V. Since I can't use a proper 4070 component, I'm using "Master Database > Misc Digital > TIL > XOR2" instead. This component only seems to permit VDD = 0V and VEE = 5V, which isn't what I need. How can I change VEE to 15V?
Thanks,
- Chris

Hi there,
Unfortunately there is no way to change this setting (VEE) in MultiSIM BLUE.

funny thing is that it worked with bigger diagrams but for some reason when I select these tables it crashes.

Don't know the cause, but my advice would be to try and create the diagram in small steps.
In similar situations I always found that a problem like this occurred when adding some specific table or other component and when investigating found out that there was a problem with that specific component. So it would be interesting to know when this error exactly occurs and review the corresponding component.

Eye Diagram using Labview version 8.6 and Digitizer 5922

I am trying to implement an eye diagram for some analysis. I have Labview version 8.6 and NI PXI Digitizer 5922. Is it possible to do some eye diagram analysis using this hardware/software. Do I need a specific toolkit for this?

To answer your questions in order:
Yes, you can and No you don't.
Remember that an eye diagram is basically just an XY plot of one input channel against another. For example, amplitude vs phase.

Trouble with opening/creating Server Model Diagrams

I created server model diagrams by drag-and-dropping specific tables from the Server Model Navigator. Is it supposed to take a LONG time
for this step (e.g., 3 whole minutes for one table) or should it be basically "immediate"? They eventually made it, but seemed unreasonably long!
I saved the diagrams, quit, and come back to the repository, see the diagram names, click on a diagram, verify the elements inside, everything
looks good -- until I try to open the diagram, it (Design Editor) locks up every time!!
Does anybody know why I'm having either one of the above problems? Is there any setting I need to configure?
(By the way, I'm using Designer 6i with an Oracle 8.1.7 database.)
Thanks in advance.
Brenda

Could be your memory. Designer takes alot to run, as you may know. Minimum should be 256mb. Close all apps and try to open
the diagram again. I have had lots of trouble with my designer locking up!

Not really. SSMS diagram tool is fast and excellent, the best integrated diagramming tool in the RDMBS industry.
You are doing something wrong.
First of all, do you have all PRIMARY KEYs, UNIQUE KEYs and FOREIGN KEYs defined? No tool is going to work without these keys.
