DAQ Assistant: How Can I Control this at the lowest Level?

DAQ Assistant:
I have the PCI slot version of this which I use to generate specific signatures. However I would like to get down to the very low level of this block to see what makes it tick if only to add some other features such as have it dynamically change high and low times after "N" number of pluses/bursts.
At the current state I can't seem to get any further than the GUI that I work with right now. I can give you a VI upon request however this VI is included with labview from what I understand I have version 8.2. If anyone wants a copy of the vi which contains the DAQ Assistant block I will be more than happy to include.
DAQ Assistant Location: Right click on the block diagram of a VI --> Measurement I/O --> NI-DAQmx --> DAQ Assist (This is an icon in itself)
I see the read,write nodes however I have played and tried to see what they do but I have had no such luck. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be grateful.
Thank You.
Solved!

You've got a couple of misconceptions about the DAQ Assistant. First, there is no such thing as a pci version. There are some slight differences between versions of the DAQmx driver. Second, the DAQ Assistant is a code generator. When you start it up, it will create custom code for the type of task you want (digital i/o, analaog i/o, etc.) so the VI you eventually have on the block diagram is not included in any version of LabVIEW.
Once you have configured the assistant, you can right click on it and select 'Open Front Panel' this will convert the assistant task to a normal subVI that you can opne and view the block diagram. You can also right click and select 'Create DAQmx Code'. This will place the low level DAQmx functions on your block diagram. You could also skip the whole assistant and just start with the low level DAQmx functions in the first place. There is help associated with each and you have all of the shipping examples to look at. There is also the Getting Started with NI-DAQmx page.

  • Labview ignores all but 1 Daq Assistant, how can I avoid this?

    When I am putting together my block diagram, I use the DAQ Assistant to orchestrate everything.  Then when I go to create another DAQ Assistant instance, LabVIEW seems to ignore the first one.  It appears as though I can only use one DAQ Assistant at a time in my VIs, is this the case?  I am a bit of a novice, is there an easy way to avoid this, or change the orginal DAQ Assistant into some other form so I can use another DAQ Assistant for developing another part of my VI?
    I have looked long and hard for a good explanation of the difference between Tasks and Virtual Channels and while I have found efforts at explaining it, I do not understand.  I see that I can convert my DAQ Assistant into a task, but then I have a task output which does not help me (I need a data output for my VI).
    I am sure this is obvious to someone that has done it a million times, but I just can't find an answer wading through all of the knowledge base information or the LabVIEW help.
    Thanks a bunch!

    Hello milq,
    That following tutorial that Novatron linked you earlier is an awesome resource for becoming familiar with programming with the NI-DAQmx.
    Learn 10 Functions in NI-DAQmx and Solve 80% of Data Acquisition Applications
    An important point to take away from this tutorial is that you can either create a DAQmx task using the wizard-style interfaces provided by the DAQ Assistant and within Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), or you can programmatically create and configure your DAQ Task in your LabVIEW code using the DAQmx Create Virtual Channel VI, DAQmx Timing VI, etc.  When you create a new DAQmx Task using the wizard-style interface, you are configuring all of the settings for your task manually.  When you use that DAQmx Task in LabVIEW (with a DAQmx Task Control or Constant), you are referencing all of those configuration options you've manually set.  To actually perform a read or write operation based on those settings, you need to wire the DAQmx Task into the 'task in' input of a DAQmx Read or DAQmx Write VI. 
    So for your analog input operation, you can wire the task directly into a DAQmx Read VI.  In the DAQmx Read VI, you'll want to select the type of task your reading from in the drop down box (Analog), if your reading from a single or multiple channels (1 Chan or N Chan), and if taking just one or multiple measurements with each call to the DAQmx Read VI (1 Samp or N Samp)
    For your digital output operation, you'll want to configure a separate digital output task, and wire it directly to a DAQmx Write VI.  Again, select the type of task your writing to (Digital), if your writing to a single or multiple channels, and if you want to perform a single write or multiple writes.
    To help with getting started with DAQmx programming in LabVIEW, I would highly recommend taking a look at the DAQmx example located in the LabVIEW Example Finder (Help > Find Examples).  A difference you'll note in these examples is that all the task configurations that you have been making with the wizard-style DAQ Assistant are done programmatically with the DAQmx Create Channel and DAQmx Timing VI.  I hope this helps and good luck!

  • HT2905 When I sync recently bought albums to my iPhone I get duplicated tracks.  How can I resolve this.  The duplicated tracks do not appear in my itunes library, just on my iPhone.

    When I sync recently bought albums to my iPhone I get duplicated tracks.  How can I resolve this.  The duplicated tracks do not appear in my itunes library, just on my iPhone.

    It seems to happen with songs that were purchased before synchronizing the new iPhone
    I will tell you how I fixed it.
    Note: I have iTunes in spanish so I will try to translate and figure out the commands that appear on ITunes in english. I will put my translations into brackets. English is not my native language. I will do my best.
    The workaround is:
    1.- Dragg no working songs from iTunes to a folder on the hard disk. (Only for backup purposes)
    2.- Deleted those songs from iTunes library.
    3.- On the left panel in ITunes click on "Purchased" under the STORE option. All your purchased songs will appear on the right panel
    4.- At the bottom and right there is the option : "Download Previous Purchases". Click there.
    5.- Click on the option "Are not in my Library" (top right)
    6.- The songs you deleted from iTunes will appear.
    7.- Downloaded them again. (You have the option to download at the bottom right)
    8.- Syncronize your iPhone and that's all.

    I have about 10000 images of different persons with dimension of 640*480. I wan to crop face from these images to dimension of 200*280. The location of face varies in differnt pics. So, please let me know step by step how can I perform this using the Lightroom software. Also I wan to know what should be the aspect ratio to do so.Thank you in advance

    The aspect ratio should be set to 200x280, or equivalently 5x7.
    I don't think it is possible to do the cropping automatically in Lightroom, you'd have to do this image by image to crop the faces correctly.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.

  • I use internode and imap. When the ipad deletes emails it also removes them from the mac. How can I reverse this so the mac is the master and the ipad is the slave?ipa

    I use internode and imap. When the ipad deletes emails it also removes them from the mac. How can I reverse this so the mac is the master and the ipad is the slave?

    Thanks for the info. - I now know that deletion works both ways!! - (unlike POP where emails deleted from the ipad also deleted them from the mac even before I could read them,  whereas emails deleted from the mac were not removed from the ipad!!! - ie. the ipad was the master over the mac - the slave).  Prior to changing to imap I used to transfer all nongarbage emails from inbox to mailboxes before my husband could ask if he could delete emails on his ipad. I have noticed however if you do this in imap, they are removed from the inbox on the ipad as well (this did not happen with POP). So we still have to check but the number is less so we like imap better than POP.
    Thank again

  • MultipartRequest, how can I control this?

    Hi Everybody, I'm building a web page in Jsp, and in this the user can send to the server a file (a picture). The file arrive to the server thanks to 'MultipartRequest'. This is the code:
    File newDir = new File(Dir);
    newDir.mkdir();
    MultipartRequest multi = null;
    try
    multi = new MultipartRequest(request, Dir, 90000);
    catch (IOException e){ }
    My question is, how can I control, that the file is not a virus or its lenght is too much?
    Thanks for all

    Hi, I believe you are using the com.oreilly.servlet package.
    If so you probably also have the com.oreilly.servlet.multipart package too.
    So you could try to use the MultipartParser class which I believe it's better to handle MultipartRequests.
    The constructor is MultipartParser(request,size), and then you have a readNextPart() method. Then you can check if this part is a FilePart.
    Once you have a FilePart, you can get its fileName (by getFileName()) and would be easy to control if the file's type is what you wanted (e.g. gif,jpeg,...).
    Regarding the file size I haven't found a direct method but I believe you should analyse this package and with some workaround it should be done.
    Hope this helps, regards.

  • Split PR/PO values to allow pass approval limit, how can we control this?

    Is there a way to limit the number of approvals that can be done on PR / PO per hour / day / week (for the same account, position, category, item).
    The purpose of this not to enable users to split the PR/PO values in multiple PR/PO to allow approval limit pass, that is, PR = $3000 will not be approved since it is more that the approval limit of finance manager whereas PR 1 = $1000, PR 2 = $ 1000, PR 3 = $ 1000 will pass.
    How can we avoid this?

    Thank you Martin for your reply.
    In option 2 does this mean if I am a member of the help desk who has the privilege to edit the user, I will be able to go to users/manage and another users/manage2 for example. In users/manage, I can view all the fields on the user with no edit button. In users/manage2, I can view only the fields I am authorized to edit, and there is an edit button on this page?
    I have never done this so I am trying to imagine what the interface would look like and what the data flow would be.
    In option 3, I have never thought of this solution. But now I understand that this could be an option.
    Thanks

  • HT204053 I use my iMac to help a friend with an IPAD and a different Apple ID to transfer their existing cps to iTunes on their iPad.  How can I do this without the content being merged into my own Apple ID Account

    I have an IMac which is my main computer and two IPads and an Ipod Nano.
    Obviously we use these in sync as an when required via Itunes.
    I have recommended a friend to have an IPAD2 and she wishes to load some of her existing cds into her Itunes Account.
    If I wish to do this with my own, it is simple as we simply use the Imac which transfers content into Itunes.
    However, my friend does not have a separate computer so I wish to load her CD's into Itunes and then sync to her Ipad without interfering with my own library and using her Apple ID.
    How can I achieve this?

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • My Macbook won't start, and I must reinstall the disk. I haven't used time machine to back up, and I want to use an external drive to back up now. How can i do this from the utilities page?

    I am currently in Zambia on missions work and my computer is constantly exposed to heat. I have just been trying to avoid using it during the hottest part of the day. Today though, I started it up and it was stuck on the grey page with the rotating circle for over an hour, then once the circle left, it remained frozen on the gray page. I used command + r at startup to go to the utilities page to analyze the disk. It found that there were problems with the disk, but then it could not fix those problems and told me to backup as much information as I could and reinstall or redo it all. I haven't ever used time machine to back up any of my information, but i have an external drive that I can use right now to backup my files. I can't get into my computer though to backup the files. How can I use this external drive to backup my files while the computer is currently messed up? Please help.

    Emergency Backups (Data Recovery)
    A)          Format an external disk:
              (This will erase all data on the external disk.)
              Boot in recovery mode (power then Command-R).
                        Alternative: Network recovery boot (power then Command-Option-R keys)
              To format (and erase) the destination recovery disk:
              Plug in the drive you are about to erase.
              Select the volume that is NOT your system disk.
              Click on Partition.
              Pull down under Partition Layout to 1 Partition.
              Click on Options…
              Select GUID Partition Table.
              Name: Emergency Backup (or whatever you prefer)
              Format: Select Mac OS Extended (journaled)
              Click Apply.
              Click Partition.
    B)          Try to boot in Safe Mode (power then Shift key).
              (This will be a slow boot.  Be patient.)
              If it won’t boot in Safe Mode, jump to C.
              If it boots in Safe Mode, try to boot in normal mode.
                        If that fixed your problem then start a Time Machine backup.
                        http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
                        https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4055
              If not, boot in Safe Mode again.
              Go > Computer.
              Double click on the system disk.
              Drag the Users folder to the recovery disk.
    C)          To clone the disk:
              Boot in recovery mode.
              Select Disk Utility.
              Try to repair the system disk twice.
              Whether or not the repair succeeds:
              Drag and drop the system disk to Source:
              Drag an drop Emergency Backup to Destination:
              (Take care not to reverse this order.)
              Click Restore (the lower Restore button).
    Once your system is healthy, maintain two reasonably current backups.  (Time machine restores can fail.)
    Create either two Time Machine backups (good) or one or more Time Machine backup(s) and one or more bootable-clone backup(s) (better).
              Use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to create bootable-clone recovery disks.

  • I have 8 charges on my debit card within a matter of 30 minutes for the same amount.  Contacted my bank but i need a letter from itunes.  How can i get this for the bank to reverse charges since it's debit card?

    I have 8 charges on my debit card within a matter of 30 minutes for the same amount.   I notified my bank but the bank is asking for itunes to send them a fax.  How can i get this?

    If possible, I suggest changing to a credit card.
    1) There is a max $50 in stolen dollars.
    2) It is easy to dispute a charge.  You call the credit card company. Complain.  They call the retailer & refund you the money.
