DFD IIR Notch Peak Design VI

I'm trying to make a sharp notch-type digital filter to remove the 60 Hz frequency noise in my signal. The NI Digital Filter Design User Manual shows an easy and efficient way of doing it using the DFD IIR Notch Peak Design VI. I downloaded the Digital Filter Design demo to try it out. The problem is that I cannot find the Notch Peak Design VI among the demo files. Is this VI part of a library that you only get if you purchase the Digital Filter Design toolkit?
Thanks,

Hi Ilkka,
After downloading and installing this toolkit, there are a couple of things you can try in order to determine if all the tools are indeed in place on your system or not.  One thing I'd recommend is to do a search within the Functions Palette to determine whether or not the needed VIs are there.  If the toolkit did indeed install correctly, you'll find a whole sub-directory of VIs within Functions>>Addons>>Digital Filter Design.  These VIs are what you would need in order to build a customized application or to run the included examples. This leads me to the second recommendation: If everything is in place on the system, you will find the Digital Filter Design examples under the 'Toolkits and Modules' section of the Example Finder.
Let me know how these searches turn out and we'll see what we can do from there.

  • Cannot use DFD IIR Comb Filter Design in my application

    Hi everybody,
    I am filtering power line noise 60 Hz and its harmonics (120Hz, 180Hz,..) using Comb Filter Design. I do the same as the example in LabVIEW, but it does not work.
    Anyone help me how to put that Comb filter into my application?
    Thank you.

    Hello mipro,
    When you say you do the same as the example do you mean the one at this link?
    https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-14292
    And when you say it does not work, can you please be more descriptive. Are you not filtering at all? Can you post pictures showing your results in comparison to results you expect from using the example that you were talking about?

  • Fir notch filter design.(us​ing DFD tool kit)

    Hi
    We used standard narrow band lowpass FIR filter design vis to desin a filter which can filter out any signal between 0.1 hz to 5hz. This does generate a filter design but is of a very high order, hence takes a very long time to process the raw data. Our raw data is of about 5000 samples and probably need to have higher samples when acqiring in the lower band frequencies,(say 0.1 hz or 0.5 hz). 
    Presently the need is to design a filter with folllowing characteristics:
    1. Phase linearity to be maintained in the pass band.
    2. sharp cut off freq band (can be the best possible to optimize speed of computation).
    3. speed should be optimized.(require fast)
    4. signal is mostly sign waves with noise riding on it.
    5. High sampling rate is necessary to maintain the shape of the sign wave since we are more concerned with the phase of the input signal.
    I have attached the snap of our design, (we used "DFD Narrowband Filter Design.vi"), which already uses the cascading technique.
    thanks and regards,

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    The vi is designed but we are having an issue of speed of processing.
    This filter takes a long time to process.
    We are looking for the following:
    Since our signal can range from 0.1Hz to 5Hz our sampling freq needs to be higher, about 8000 samples/s, this is necessary since the shape needs to be maintained for accurate phase measurements (the signal is always sinewave and with noise on it).However you may suggest this sampling rate based on your experience.
    Since the phase in the pass band needs to be linear we have to select FIR and since the filter roll off needed is very sharp as provided in the attachment, the resulting design has a large number of taps(coefficients), this makes the processing slow.
    --What would be the appropriate sampling frequency for such a filter design.
    --Is it that such filters are slow, if so how can they be put in the front end filtering of signals acquired from a daq (PCI-6229)analog channel in a continuous acquisition mode.
    we would be thankful for a quick response.
    PLS refer to the attachment for filter characteristics.

  • Filter Design Problems - Labview 8.2

    I am trying to designe a filter to replicate the frequency weighting curves in ISO-2631-4.
    These curves are specified (in third octace steps) between 0.1 and 400 hz
    I have based my design on the "DFD least Pth Norm Design.vi"
    I have created the band specification array but in my vi I do not appear to be getting anthing out of the "DFD Get Freq responce.vi"

    Wow, thank you for the diagram tbob.  The program outputs correctly.  I've been searching for help for almost 3 weeks now.  I have a few remaining questions. 1) Why did you choose to use shift registers instead of indexing nodes?  2) What exactly is writing the data inside the loop? 3) How do I make the program write every 100 ms instead of once every cycle? 4) Do you have any other tips for programming?  Thank you so much for your help.
    1)  You are using a For Loop which can run 0 times if the input to N is 0.  With regular terminals, if this happens, the output terminals will be at default value and you will get an error on your Close function after the loop, and the file will not close.  Causes memory problems.  Also if there was an error before the loop, the default error (no error) will occur after the loop and you lose your error.  With shift registers, the values going in (error and file reference) will be carried to the output if the loop does not execute and the file will close normally and the errors will be reported.  This was a suggestions given to me by NI in one of their training classes.
    2)  The Format Into File function will format the data according to the input format string and then write the formated string to a file.
    3)  Make the cycle 100ms and then write once every cycle.  This is the easiest way to do it.  Make the delay 100ms to do this.  You gather data every loop cycle so just write once every cycle.  Why would you want to write the same data more than once?

  • Trouble installing DW CS3 on Windows Vista

    Hi I really need some help. I'm about to lose it.
    I bought DW CS3 directly from Adobe in June '07. I had installed it on my laptop running Win XP. It worked fine and I liked working with DW. My laptop died a couple months ago and I bought a brand new HP desktop. I installed DW CS3 seemingly without any problems. But ... when I go to open DW, ... nothing happens.  It doesnt matter where I try to open it from, the Start menu, or the program file in the directory where it was installed.  There were no errors or problems during any of the install attempts.  Its just when you click on the icon to open DW, it just doesnt do anything. Nothing. As if you didnt even click on it.
    I have not been able to find any thread/discussion with this exact problem.  I've tried implementing solutions from other install problems posted, but nothing has worked. I tried selective startup. Tried uninstall/reinstall a couple times. Tried repairing the install.
    My specs:
    HP Pavilion a6750y
    AMD Athlon Phenom X4 9650
    8GB RAM
    750GB HD
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    Service Pack 1
    64-bit Operating System
    I'm not a computer expert of any sort, but I know enough to get by.
    Can anyone please help? Thanks so much.

    Nadia,
    Thanks for replying. I just checked out that tech note & tried the regedit thing, but no luck.  I seriously can't believe that this is so much trouble.
    I also need to just say that I did call Adobe support and unfortunately for me, they need to charge me $40 to help me, because now CS4 is out, so they don't support CS3 for free anymore.  This is very very poor business practice on Adobe's part.  Most manufacturers of any product, not just software, will continue to support at least the version previous to their newest.
    I am an amateur web designer and just like to play around.  I was proud of myself for spending $200 my last year of school (econ major, not IT), to get the educational version of what I thought was a top-notch web design software.  I cannot afford to pay $40 for help. And I definitely cannot afford whatever the price of CS4 is, since I am not a student anymore.  I really enjoyed using DW CS3 on my laptop.  Unfortunately as I said before, it is now dead, and apparently, so is my ability to use Dreamweaver.
    Shame on you Adobe.  I will spread this message far and wide.
    If anyone else has any possible solutions to what my problem is, I am willing to try anything.  Thanks Nadia & Murray for your suggestions.  I will stay tuned to this forum until I have a solution.

  • Collage Students need help with Java project(Email Server) whats analysis?

    Hi im studying in collage at the moment and i have just started learning java this semester, the thing is my teacher just told us to do an project in java , since we just started the course and i dont have any prior knowledge about java i was wondering if some one could help me with the project.
    i choose Email Sevice as my project and we have to submit an analysis and design document , but how the hell am i suppose to know what analysis is ? i just know we use ER diagrams & DFD's in the design phase but i dont know what analysis means ?
    could some one tell me what analysis on an email service might be? and what analysis on a subject means? is it the codeing involved or some thing coz the teacher told us not to do any codeing yet so im completly stumped,
    oh and btw we are a group of 3 students who are asking u the help here coz all of us in our class are stupmed ?

    IN case any one is interested this is the analysis i wrote
    ANALYSIS
    Analysis means figuring out what the problem is, maybe what kinds of solutions might be appropriate
    1.     Introduction:-
    The very definition of analysis is an investigation of the component parts of a whole and their relations in making up the whole. The Analysis done here is for an emailing service called Flashmail, the emailing service is used to send out mails to users registered with our service, these users and there log activities will be stored in some where, the most desirable option at this time is a Database, but this can change as the scope of the project changes.
    2.     Customer Analysis:-
    We are targeting only 30 registered users at the moment but this is subject to change as the scale changes of the project .Each user is going to be entitled to 1MB of storage space at this time since we lack the desired infrastructure to maintain anything higher than 1MB but the end vision of the project is to sustain 1000 MB of storage space while maintaining a optimal bandwidth allocation to each user so as to ensure a high speed of activity and enjoyment for the Customer.
    The Service will empower the user to be able to send, read, reply, and forward emails to there specified locations. Since we are working on a limited budget we can�t not at this time enable the sending of attachments to emails, but that path is also left open by modularity of java language, so we can add that feature when necessary.
    3.     Processor Load Analysis:-
    The number of messages per unit time processing power will be determined on hand with various algorithms, since it is best not to waste processor power with liberally distributing messages per unit time. Hence the number of messages will vary with in proportion to the number of registered users online at any given time.
    4.     Database Decision Analysis:-
    The High level Requirements of the service will have to be decided upon, the details of which can be done when we are implementing the project itself. An example of high level requirements are database management, we have chosen not to opt for flat files because of a number of reasons, first off a flat files are data files that contain records with no structured relationships additional knowledge is required to interpret these files such as the file format properties. The disadvantages associated with flat files are that they are not fast, they can only be read from top to bottom, and usually they have to be read all the way through. Though there is are advantages of Flat files they are that it takes up less space than a structured file. However, it requires the application to have knowledge of how the data is organized within the file.
    Good databases have key advantage over flat files concurrency. When you just read stuff from file it�s easy, but tries to synchronize multiple updates or writes into flat file from scripts that run in different process spaces.
    Whereas a flat file is a relatively simple database system in which each database is contained in a single table. In contrast, relational database systems can use multiple tables to store information, and each table can have a different record format.
    5.     Networking Analysis:-
    Virtually every email sent today is sent using two popular protocols known as SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions).
    1.     SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
    The SMTP protocol is the standard used by mail servers for sending and receiving email. In order to send email we will first establish a network connection to our SMTP server. Once you have finished sending your email message it is necessary that you disconnect from the SMTP server
    2.     MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
    The MIME protocol is the standard used when composing email messages.

  • FIR filter delay for multistage multirate filter

    I know that a FIR filter with N taps has a delay of (N -1 ) / 2 samples.
    If this filter decimates of a M factor, the decimated signal has a delay of (N - 1) / (2 * M) samples.
    I used this approach several times to calculate the exact delay of a FIR filter, when I know the number of taps.
    How can I calculate this delay if I design my filter using the vi "DFD NStage MRate Filter Design"?

  • How to design a good 60Hz notch filter?

    I tried to design a 60Hz notch filter(59-61 as stop band,tried different kind filters/orders,cont.true)But I can't have a stable output. When test on 60 Hz input,the output signal's amplitude will change in a repeated pattern,sometime the ripples is very small, but sometimes it's big, especially at the waveform beginning. The Fs is 5000, data is sampled every few seconds. Are there any refined 60Hz notch filter can be used, or any better way to design a notch filter?
    Averaging is one way to remove the ripples after filtering,but I hope the filter can give a steady output.Thanks!

    Hijacking a old thread is never a good idea. I suggest you start your own. Also in order to get help you must explain better what you have done so far, why and how you struggle. The best way to do this, is to post your code, and some signals examples. I know a lot of tricks. And none of them need a fancy toolkit. But you must start your own thread in order to get help from me.  
    Edit: I noticed you have started a new thread, do you want to move the discussion to that thread?
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

  • How to design a stable IIR-Filter for FPGA?

    Hi, I´m new to Labview for FPGA and currently trying to design a lowpass-filter (for a digital mixer, more or less). It should work with a sample-frequency of 200kHz, a passband edge frequency of 3Hz and a stopband edge frequency of 8Hz. An FIR-filter would have a too large order to be implemented, an IIR one seems more practicable. For the design of the filter I'm using the digital filter design toolkit, refering to its manual and the casestudy with analyzing, modeling, simulating and generating a fixed-point filter. Now, I have problems to get a stable filter. While the manual states to adjust the coefficents by trial and error, the designed filter never matches the floating-point reference. Does anyone have experience in creating such filters? Or a hint, how to optimize the coefficient finding process?
    Thanks in advance!

    LabVIEW FPGA 8.20 does include a Butterworth filter function (1st, 2nd and 4th order) in the FPGA palette. You can configure it directly using a dialog on your FPGA diagram. The cutoff may not be quite as sharp as you want but it could be an option for you to consider. Once you have configured the filter VI, you have the option of opening up the subVI with the code that is generated based on your filter parameters, which would allow you to further configure the code directly.
    I have attached the configuration dialog with the settings you specified.

  • DFD balancing using FHD in Designer/2000 rel 2.1 ver

    How do I perform DFD balancing using functional heirarchy diagram (FHD) in Designer/2000 rel 2.1 ver

    If you mean by balancing of DFD the complexity (that is the number of (sub) functions), then the FHD is the only option to show this complexity.
    Open the FHD and create a new diagram. Choose as the root function your highest level DFD-function (that should be the complete system).
    Now you get a overview of your functions and subfunctions and you can see the complexity.
    But what is important is that you have made DFD's on all levels, not just the lowest (elementary) level. Otherwise you can not use the FHD, because there will not be an full hierarchy of functions under a single root function.

  • Hi i need to design a notch filter for eliminating ECG hum..i am working with NI ELVIS work station...and LABVIE 8.0

    hi i need to design a notch filter for eliminating ECG hum..i am working with NI ELVIS work station...and LABVIEW 8.0. Unfortunately it needs an addon software "Digital filter design toolkit", which i dont have. Its urgent..can some 1 plzz help me out.

    Hi and Happy Halloween,
    Depending on the license you have for LabVIEW and the toolsets you have installed, you may be able to have a "notch" filter. I would search your pallet for "Bandstop" because a notch is a type of Bandstop filter. Or, you can make a notch out of a high-pass and a low-pass or you can use the filter express VI. If these VIs are not on your pallet than you probably only have the LabVIEW Base and thus, cannot use these options.

  • Design of direct form IIR Filter

    while designing IIR filters(dirtect form coeff) using advanced IIR filtering VIs, i hv found that for a given filter spec,the coeff generated by LV and matlab are different in some cases specially higher order filters. The direct coeff. of a 6th order butterworth bandstop filter, fL=65 Hz and fH= 222Hz, when used in matlab showed a considerably different respose than LV, and the step response when evaluated in matlab turned out to be unstable. can someone explain the discrepancy. Thanks.

    It sounds like they are just using different algorithms. I would suggest e-mailing into the NI support, with the Matlab script and the LabVIEW VI you are using. They may be able to find out where or how the two algorithms differ.

  • Design a Filter using the Digital FIR Filter.vi

    Hello,
    I was working with Digital FIR Filter.vi to create a bandstand filter.
    The problem I faced is regarding the FIR Filter Specification, the Frequencies given for the Upper and Lower Pass and Stop band.
    For a low pass Filter, the upper Stop Band frequency is set at 0. While the Lower Stop band frequency is set at 200.
    And the Lower pass band is set at 100 while the upper pass band is set at 0.
    What the lower and upper frequencies actually means? As for a low pass filter, the upper cutoff frequency must be greater than lower. 
    So plus tell me how does it works and what frequencies should I specify for a Bandstand Filter.
    Thanks v.much

    Hi,
    Have a look at the following example: [LabVIEW Folder]\examples\Digital Filter Design\Floating-Point Filters\Conventional\Classical Filter Design.vi .This example demonstrates how to use the DFD Classical Design VI to design a lowpass, highpass, bandpass, or bandstop filter with classical design methods.
    Complete the following steps to use this VI.
    1) Run the VI.
    2) Change the specifications.
    3) Observe the magnitude response and phase response. Notice that the magnitude response approximates the frequency specification and the phase response is nonlinear for IIR filters (Butterworth, Chebyshev, Inverse Chebyshev, and Elliptic).
    4) Change the Design Method to view the ripples in the passband and stopband.
    5) Observe the filter order that the VI returns automatically.
    6) Click the STOP button to stop this VI.
