DASYLAB QUERIES on Sampling Rate and global variable

hola
i'm new user of dasylab and i would like to manipulate the sample rate through a layout ;
using global variable seems good idea but the adress of sample rate is unknown .
Hope that someone would be able to help.!
also other small things when i use coded swich and i want modify the text in the Switch Window i don't know how
Lots of thanks!

DASYLAB QUERIES on Sampling Rate and Block Size

HELP!!!! I have been dwelling on DASYLAB for a few weeks regarding certain problems faced, yet hasn't come to any conclusion. Hope that someone would be able to help.Lots of thanks!
1. I need to have more data points, thus I increase the sampling rate(SR). When sampling rate is increased, Block size(BS) will increase correspondingly.
For low sampling rate (SR<100Hz) and Block size of 1, the recorded time in dasy and the real experimental time is the same. But problem starts when SR>100Hz for BS=1. I realized that the recorded time in dasylab differs from the real time. To solve the time difference problem, I've decided to use "AUTO" block size.
Qn1: Is there any way to solve the time difference problem for high SR?
Qn2: For Auto Block Size, Is the recorded result in dasylab at one time moment the actual value or has it been overwritten by the value from the previous block when AUTO BS is chosen.
2. I've tried getting the result for both BS=1 and when BS is auto. Regardless of the sampling rate, the values gotten when BS=1 is always larger than that of Auto Block size. Qn1: Which is the actual result of the test?
Qn2: Is there any best combination of the block size and sampling rate that can be used?
Hope someone is able to help me with the above problem.
Thanks-a-million!!!!!

Generally, the DASYLab sampling rate to block size ratio should be between 2:1 and 10:1.
If your sample rate is 1000, the block size should be 500 to no smaller than 100.
Very large block sizes that encompass more than 1 second worth of data often cause display delays that frustrate users.
Very small block sizes that have less than 10 ms of data cause DASYLab to bog down.
Sample rate of 100 samples / second and a block size of 1 is going to cause DASYLab to bog down.
There are many factors that contribute to performance, or lack there of - the speed and on-board buffers of the data acquisition device, the speed, memory, and video capabilities of the computer, and the complexity of the worksheet. As a result, we cannot be more specific, other than to provide you with the rule of thumb above, and suggest that you experiment with various settings, as you have done.
Usually the only reason that you want a small block size is for closed loop control applications. My usual advice is that DASYLab control is around 1 to 10 samples/second. Much faster, and delays start to set in. If you need fast, tight control loops, there are better solutions that don't involve Microsoft Windows and DASYLab.
Q1 - without knowing more about your hardware, I cannot answer the question, but, see above. Keep the block size ratio between 2:1 and 10:1.
Q2 - without knowing more about your hardware, and the driver, I'm not sure that I can fully answer the question. In general, the DASYLab driver instructs the DAQ device driver to program the DAQ device to a certain sampling rate and buffer size. The DASYLab driver then retrieves the data from the intermediate buffers, and feeds it to the DASYLab A/D Input module. If the intermediate buffers are too small, or the sample rate exceeds the capability of the built-in buffers on the hardwar, then data might be overwritten. You should have receive warning or error messages from the driver.
Q3 - See above.
It may be that your hardware driver is not configured correctly. What DAQ device, driver, DASYLab version, and operating system are you using? How much memory do you have? How complex is your worksheet? Are you doing control?
Have you contacted your DASYLab reseller for more help? They should know your hardware better than I do.

Maximum audio sample rate and bit depth question

Anyone worked out what the maximum sample rates and bit depths AppleTV can output are?
I'm digitising some old LPs and while I suspect I can get away with 48kHz sample rate and 16 bit depth, I'm not sure about 96kHz sample rate or 24bit resolution.
If I import recordings as AIFFs or WAVs to iTunes it shows the recording parameters in iTunes, but my old Yamaha processor which accepts PCM doesn't show the source data values, though I know it can handle 96kHz 24bit from DVD audio.
It takes no more time recording at any available sample rates or bit depths, so I might as well maximise an album's recording quality for archiving to DVD/posterity as I only want to do each LP once!
If AppleTV downsamples however there wouldn't be much point streaming higher rates.
I wonder how many people out there stream uncompressed audio to AppleTV? With external drives which will hold several hundred uncompressed CD albums is there any good reason not to these days when you are playing back via your hi-fi? (I confess most of my music is in MP3 format just because i haven't got round to ripping again uncompressed for AppleTV).
No doubt there'll be a deluge of comments saying that recording LPs at high quality settings is a waste of time, but some of us still prefer the sound of vinyl over CD...

I guess the answer to this question relies on someone having an external digital amp/decoder/processor that can display the source sample rate and bit depth during playback, together with some suitable 'demo' files.

Local and global variables in ABAP Debugger

hi guys.
we have the following support package:
SAP_BASIS 640 0025 SAPKB64025 SAP Basiskomponente
I would like to use in the debugger the local and global variables tab strip, but I can not find it. Is it possible. that our support package is too low for this functionality?
Thanks a lot.

Starting with SAP NetWeaver 6.40, SAP released a new version of the Debugger.
The Debugger available in Release 6.40 was not considered complete (and was
not the default debugger as a result)
The Variable Fast Display tool currently has four tabs . The first
two are provided empty, and you can either type or double click a name in the
source code to add it to the list. The third tab (Locals) shows all local variables
for the current program modularization unit, and the fourth (Globals) shows all
global variables in the current program.

HT5848 What is the sampling rate and codec for iTunes Radio. Is it lossless encoded?

What is the sample rate and codec for iTunes Radio? Is it lossless encoded?

I have to agree with you. There are several forum discussions on bit rate being as high as 256 kbps but I don't see how it could be more than 96 kbps based on the poor sound quality I'm hearing. I'm comparing it to an internet radio station that is 128 kbps and sounds much better.
Am I missing something?

Conflict between the saved data and the sampling rate and samples to read using PXI 6070e

Hello, I am using PXI 6070e to read an analog voltage. I was sampling at 6.6 MHz and the samples to read were 10. So, that means it should sample 10 points every 1.5 um. The x-axis of the graph on the control panel was showing ns and us scale, which I think because of the fast sampling and acquiring data. I use "write to measurement file" block to save the data. However, the data was saved every 0.4 second and as 35 points data at the beginning of each cycle (e.g. 35 points at 0.4 sec and 35 at 0.8 sec, and so on) and there was no data in between. Can anyone help me how there are 35 reading points every cycle? I could not find the relation between the sampling rate and samples to read, to 35 points every 0.4 second!
Another thing, do I need to add a filter after acquiring the data (after the DAQ assistant block)? Is there anti-aliasing filter is built in PXI 6070e?
Thanks for the help in advance,
Alaeddin

I'm not seeing anything that points to this issue. Your DAQ is set to continuous acquire. I'm not sure if this is really what you want because your DAQ buffer will keep overwriting. You probably just want to set to Read N Samples.
I'm not a fan of using the express VIs. And since you are writing to a TDMS file, I would use the Stream to TDMS option in DAQmx. If you use the LabVIEW Example Finder, search for "TDMS Log" for a list of some good examples.

Sample rate and / or Bit depth probl

I am in the middle of mastering a tune, but when I come to play the tune in Soundforge 8 I get the error message: One or more playback devices do not support the current Sample rate and / or Bit depth. I am using a Audigy2 Platinum with the ASIO A400 driver and I'm sure it should be A9000, I can't find the driver update for this, does anyone have a link to this, or is it something else I should be looking at?

A400 doesn't have anything to do with a version number. It's related to the ressource allocated to your card.
What kind of source are you trying to play ?

PXI-4462 actual sample rate and delay...

Hi All!
Is the DAQmx properties, which give me actual sample rate and filter delay? Or I must manualy calculate this values, as described in DSA manual?
Jury

Hi Jury,
I am not sure if I fully understand your question, but there are DAQmx properties that do return the actual sample rate, but there is not one for filter delay. If you place a DAQmx Timing property node down, the actual sample rate will be returned by selecting Sample Clock » Rate.

Changing sampling rate and bitrate

If I drop in an .aiff audio file into Garage Band 2 (or iTunes), is there a function that allows me to adjust the audio sampling rate and bitrate?
When I created this podcast in Adobe Auditions, the were about 10MB for a 22 min show.
When I do it through GB, it's about 26MB for the same time;
I just want to tune it down slightly.
Thanks!

GB exports uncompressed 44.1K 16-Bit AIFF files. You need to convert them to Mp3s or AAC files

Multi Track settings (Sample Rate and Bit Rate)

I'm setting up my multi-track in 5.5 as 44100 16 bit, but when I create it...it's saying its 44100 32 bit (at the bottom of the multi-track). Is there a way I can change this setting? I've explored the preferences all day long and still can't find any answers.
Thanks

Restore Old LP'S AT 96000 Hz Sample Rate and 24 bit Resolution?

I restore LP vinyl albums using the above Sample Rate and Resolution.
Do I have to convert to 44100 Hz, and 14-bit before adding to my iTunes Library?

I guess I had better keep all of them in this format. It might make a difference if I decide to burn CD's; also, all of my back ups will be of the same format.
Do what works for you, but neither of those two things is an advantage. If you burn audio CDs, they will be downsampled to 44.1 kHz anyway. And as far as backups, iTunes does not care if different songs are in different formats, nor does any other music player that I know of.
Unless you plan on further mastering or remixing, or you really just like the higher fidelity, there is no obvious reason not to use 44/16.

What is the difference between Instance variable and Global variable?

Hi folks,
Could you please explain me, "what is the difference between Instance variable and Global variable?"
Are they really same or not?
--Subbu

Hi flounder,
I too know that there is no such a term GLOBAL in java.
generally people use to say a variable which is accessible throught out the class or file has global access
and that will be called as a global variable...
my point is very much similar to what Looce said.
In simple that is not a technical term, but just a causual term.
In technically my question is, "What is the difference between a instance variable and public variable?".
Hi looce,
Thanks for the reply. even thats what my understanding too....in order to confirm that i raised this question..
Your reply has given a clear answer...... thanks again.

Shared and Global Variable Issue with Motor VI

Hello,
I have written a VI that will command a stepper motor to follow the desired profile and loop the profile until the user pushes the stop button. I modified the state machine example from LV to achieve this. I now want to connect a linear potentiometer to the linear actuator to verify that the distance I commanded the motor to travel is the actual distance that it traveled. I am using a NI 9219 module to collect the data from the potentiometer.
When I added the potentiometer to the program, the cRIO-9073 chassis that I am using immediately crashes and looses connection with the computer when I click the Run VI button. I looked into this a little more and it seems that the chassis will crash only when I add shared and global variables to the VI. I think it has something to do with the Network Variable Engine; I don’t have it installed on the chassis because the motor program alone will not run if it is installed on the chassis. Also, I have the chassis configured to the RT setting and not the FPGA setting.
I have attached a snippet of the code. I am using LV 2014 SP1 along with the SoftMotion module. The motor is connected to LV through a P70530 stepper drive which is connected to a NI 9512 module with the proper connectivity bundle. Is there something wrong with the VI that would cause the chassis to crash? Why will the simple motor VI not work when the Network Variable Engine is installed on the chassis? Thank you in advance for your help!

Follow up to this post:
Sometimes when I try to connect the project to the chassis I get the following error: "Failed to load shared library taggerrt.out. Ensure that the library is present on the RT target. Use either MAX to install NI software or FTP to transfer custom librarier to the RT target."
I have tried re-installing the NI Device Drivers and reconfiguring the software on the cRIO chassis using MAX; however, the error keeps showing up. I read somewhere that the taggerrt.out library is a part of the Network Variable Engine but I don't know why it wouldn't be found when the NVE software is installed on the chassis. This message only comes up when I also have the SoftMotion Module software installed on the chassis. Has anybody else encountered this problem or know why this could be happening? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Problem with .DLL and global variables

Hi,
I need some helps to figure out my problem.
I wrote a .dll file to open and run a GUI. When I run it at the first time, it is ok. When I call it again, there is an error "Pointer to free memory passed to library. It will be ok if I completely exit the program that calls the .dll before re-call it. I think there is some problems with global variables when I call another thread. How can I free global variables between threads. Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks

Vinh Pham:
Are you doing anything intentionally that frees your globals?
CVI ships with an example program that demonstrates calling a DLL to create a user interface: guidll.cws.
I made two simple modifications to guidll.cws.
1. In guidll.c, I made hpanel global by moving its declaration from RunDLLUI() to right below the #include statements.
2. In useguidll.c, I duplicated the lines calling RunDLLUI () and MessagePopup() to call the DLL gui twice.
I built the project and ran it. I had no problems with free'ed globals.
Take a look at the guidll example.
Can you either post your code or a modification to guidll that demonstrates the problem you're having?

Forms personalization and global variable

Hi,
I'm trying to call a procedure in forms personalization and using a defined global variable. The data in the global variable is number. In the procedure, some of the parameter has a number datatype and I'm converting the global variable using to_number eg (to_number(:global.XX_LINE_NUM). This fails with error message ora-01403 no data found. I've tried putting the above into a variable with datatype number in the declare statement, and it errors as well.
Does anyone knows the syntax to convert the global variable to number datatype in personalization.
Thanks
