Do I need LabVIEW RT for a simple 10objects/sec image acquisition/processing?

I have a pretty simple application. A photoelectric sensor detects an object and triggers the image acquisition. The image of this object is then processed (a few morphological functions and particle analysis) and results are displayed in a table before a new image is acquired. The application also includes indicators for high/low limit, statistical calculations and a report generation. 7 to 10 particles per second are analyzed. Being still in the design phase, I use LabVIEW 7 Express. Do you think the LabVIEW Real-Time Module is necessary for my application?
Thank you very much for your help.
Bernd

Hello Bernd,
LabVIEW Real-Time is used to acquire robust and deterministic operation. It's basically a stripped down operating system that runs your application, and that's it. There's no additional software running in your background that can clog up the processing queue and lose the exact execution that your application requires.
Yes, you could use Real-Time for your application, but I don't think it would be necessary. If anything, you may be limited by the hardware that you use and whether or not it will be able to acquire as many images as you would like in that short period of time.
National Instruments does have a real-time Compact Vision System which you may not to inquiry further about. I would strongly suggest posting a very simi
lar question to the Vision discussion forum to see what developers in that area think about your application. The numbers that you mention alone may light up a few light bulbs as to which LabVIEW target is generally used to reach the goal you desire.
Hope this helps.

  • I need ready code for a simple paint program today

    hi all I need ready code for a simple paint program today for me ics projct
    plz give me a halp on this give me what you have with you and it is so good if it look like this :
    Design a GUI based drawing Java application that works like a simple paint program
    1-There should be a number of buttons for choosing different shapes to draw. For example, there should be a button for rectangle. If user presses the rectangle button, then he can draw a rectangle using mouse. Similarly, there should be a button for each shape(rectangle, circle, ellipse, and line etc.
    2-The shapes can be filled with different colors.
    3-There should be option of moving .
    4- There should also be three menus including File, Shape, and Color menu.
    i. File menu can have menu items New and Exit. If user selects New, the drawing area will be cleared and all shapes will be erased.
    ii. Shape menu will serve the same purpose as of feature 2 described above. It will have menu items for drawing all the different shapes. For example, there will be menu item for rectangle; so user can draw a rectangle by selecting the menu item for rectangle.
    iii. Color menu will serve the same purpose as of feature 3 described above. It will have menu items for all the colors which are shown in color buttons. The user can select a color from this menu and then click inside a shape to fill it with the selected color.

    Read the Swing tutorial. There are sections on how to use menus and painting and all other kinds of stuff you need to do this homework assignment. Nobody here is going to write the code for you:

    Well, this code is quite trivial and if you have to learn LabVIEW anyway, you might as well try to implement it.
    A few things to remember:
    The first array element in LabVIEW has index #0, while in matlab it has index #1, so everything dealing with array indices needs to be adjusted slightly.
    The zeroes function equivalent is "initialize array".
    Keep the array in a shift register as you update elements.
    use FOR loops.
    Use one of the graphs to display the data.

  • I need Java code for a simple graphical hit counter for a webpage

    I was wondering if anybody out there could send me some code for a simple graphical hit counter for a webpage. All the sites that I've visited are garbage and of no use to me. Please help me.
    Colin

    Not as easy as you'd imagine with applets. You need some way to store the hits, usually through a file on the server. That's not gonna happen in a hurry for 2 reasons -
    - Applets can't read/write files
    - Your web server usually won't let you run programs on their machine (ie, programs that listen for socket connections from applets, then load/read/write/close a file).
    In short, no, there is no simple java solution (that I know of).

  • Need conceptual help for a simple drag n drop game

    As anyone who saw my previous thread knows, I'm trying to make an educational app prototype (I'm new to Flash, this is for a Masters in education) to help students learn IPA symbols (phonetics). I have successfully made a section where the students click on symbols to hear the corresponding audio and listen to explanations.
    For the final part of the prototype, I have to create some kind of instructional game. My idea is to have 12 circles, each one playing an audio file of a vowel sound (this I know how to do). The students will have to click the circles to listen and then drag and drop them to the correct IPA symbol. Flash would then give feedback on correct/incorrect answers and a score. Maybe all of this is against the clock, needing a timer.
    So, I need to learn drag and drop. What else to I need to learn so that one drop position is considered "correct", the others are considered "incorrect" and a score is given at the end? And maybe a timer?)
    Any conceptual help gratefully received!!
    Darren

    Cheers for the reply.
    Yes, I have heard of this Google you speak of The thing is, sometimes as a beginner you can't see the wood for the trees and I find mountains of info when I search, it's hard to know which direction to do in. As for drag & drop I had already found good tutorials on that, it's more the other concepts that need to be employed that I would like information on.
    I'll look into the getTomer() function, sounds just what I need.
    As for the scoring correct/incorrect answers, i found a wonderful example on flashkit.com, which would basically solve all my problems if I learn how to adapt it. The trouble is it was made in Flash 7, I'm on CS4.
    How many changes would I need to make to the code to turn it into AS3?
    Cheers everyone

  • Hi, In need of help creating a simple effect to image.

    Attached is an image which shows more or less the effect I am needing to achieve.
    http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn149/Jaybeedubya/FotoliaComp_635945_xs3N3VFLwPNTIOm1.j pg
    I created the image above by desaturating the colour image of the man and then adding a new purple layer and selecting 'vivid light' from the layer palette drop down box. In doing this the man became purple but the white area surrounding him stayed white...I then adjusted the layers on the first layer so that the white part became purple - the final result is what you see in the attached image.
    The problem is this - I need to create this effect for 15 or so images all with a specific purple pantone colour, I need to create these for print ready artwork. All the pictures (ie the man) I will be using, need to look the same kind of shade. The way I was creating these before was to adjust the bottom layer so its grey rather than white so that the white area becomes purple.
    Confusing huh, If you dont understand my question (and I dont blame you!) then all I need is to create a set of 15 images that look like the attached image (using a specific pantone) but I have no idea how the best way to do it is.
    How would you guys achieve that? Any help greatly appreciated.

    So its gonna be a two-color-job?
    Because with the extreme depths adding Black at least might be beneficial.
    You could make a Selection of a black&white-version-of-the-photographs luminance, inverse it and, in the Channels-Panels PopUp-menu, choose Add New Spot Channel for the Foreground color and select the Pantone color.
    Then Add New Spot Channel for the background-color and fill that solid black and hide the layers that contain the composite of the photograph.
    This should leave You with blank composite channels and the two Spot Channels visible.
    Indesign can handle either psd- or DCS2-files containing Spot Channels.
    The problem I perceive here is that depending on the print-process and the background color selected it might proof necessary to knock out the foreground elements if the company is very strict on their CI colors. Unfortunately simply inversing the foreground selection would probably not work as this might leave the mixed-color-areas greyish.
    Are the prints gonna be offset or silkscreen?

  • I need an app for creating simple signs like Windows Publisher allows. Suggestions?

    I have a MacBook Pro and purchased the Windows for Mac Office Suite software which includes Excel, Word, Outlook and Powerpoint. However, I now really need something similar to Publisher in order to create simple fliers and other items. I have Pages and thought that it would work for me, but I find that pictures I insert into a Pages doc are difficult to place or maneuver within the document. Any suggestions for a different app that would be easier to use?

    Word will actually 'work' for simple flyers - maybe even simple newsletters and the like. Do a Google search for some Word templates that you may be able to use.
    I have Pages but I don't use it - Word is powerful enough to do what you need, though, I would think.

  • Need SAP GUI for Mac and process of how to install and configure

    Hi Experts,
         I need SAP GUI for Mac. Also please explain the process of how to install, how to configure etc? Please help me.

    You can download the SAP Presentation DVD that will have the SAPGUI Java version for OS X. After you install, just run the app from the Application Folder.
    For config there are a few options:
    1. To connect to a DI directly. After starting the app, click new and under the "Advanced" tab use the following string:
       conn=/H/(hostname)/S/(port / 3200 for instance ID 00)
    2. To connect to a login group. After starting the app, open the "Preferences" / Configuration / Messageservers, you need to set a path to a file that has the message servers in the following string
    (SID) :     /M/(hostname)/S/(message server port)
    Then click "New" and on the first tab you can choose a system and login group.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank

  • TS2180 Need a resolution for multiplexor error during burns?

    Need a solution for Multiplexor Errors during  iDVD disc burning process?

    Hi
    Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) - one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
    So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
    Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
    Now my long long list on Multiplex Error
    LONG LONG LONG LIST
    Multiplexing Error
    PART One.
    Use of strange video/audio material e.g. .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
    I only use.
    Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
    Audio - .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else converted to this .aiff 48KHz)
    Photo - .jpg (.bmp known problematic)
    Chapters !
    A.    Using strange letters in video project name e.g. +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name e.g. +
    as described by Donnyboy69.  Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
    B.    Location of Chapters
    • Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
    • Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
    Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4
    PART Two.
    from Robert Modero.
    "Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
    Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
    Once I did that, I was back in business.
    from Boise Jim
    Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
    I use only - Verbatim DVDs
    I use only - DVD-R
    I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1
    This gives good DVDs
    PART Three.
    Multiplex Error
    Chuck, Chicago 2/7/2009.
    Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
    2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutely needed.
    e.g. external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.

    FROM Bev. (Not a 'guy' but I will answer!)
    First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
    Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
    Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
    Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

    I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
    Hopefully this can help other people.
    by dheb0422
    Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.

    Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
    One project worked fine in creating disk image file
    The other gave Multiplex Errors
    I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
    Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
    Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
    This time multiplex errors gone
    So had something to do with chapters
    So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
    After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
    That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
    When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
    As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
    I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

    In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
    Russ One - suggest this
    Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
    One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
    Summary - What to try
    1. Chapters
    • Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
    • No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
    • No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
    2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
    3. Safe re-boot
    4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
    SDMacuser adds to this
    • On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
    Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
    5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
    6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
    7. Trash iDVD pref. file
    8. Make a new iDVD project
    9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
    10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

  • DESPERATEL​Y NEED LabVIEW help ASAP for hire

    Need LabVIEW expert ASAP for help with outputting a digital signal.  $50-$75 to start - probably would only take an hour though. Would like service by Monday the 24th if possible. Over the phone or on site (Ann Arbor, MI) will work.   Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] 
    We are working with a USB 6501 DAQ board, LabVIEW 8.5, and need to send a 3.5-5 V DC signal for controlled second time intervals (on/off).  For example, send signal for 15 seconds. Turn off for 45. Do this for 3 outputs and repeat this process as many times as controlled by the user. 

    I hope this isn't homework

  • Need hardware drivers (Only!) for NI PCI-DNET card, P/N 184726E-11. Do not need Labview run-time, Silverlight etc.

    I need to install just the Windows XP hardware device drivers for my PCI-DNET card, P/N 184726E-11.  Ordered under P/N 777358-01, the card is boxed with an installation CD-ROM.  CD-ROM is NI-DNET for windows Ver 1.6.7.  When the install app runs, it is trying to install all sorts of stuff I do not need - Labview Runtime, Microsoft Silverlight, Development Support, Automatic Updaters, etc.  This card is being installed in a "production" machine.  We have our own software, already developed, that talks to the card via the O/S.  The hardware/device drivers are most certainly on the CD-ROM, I just need them identified and instructions for installing them.
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Thank yor for the reply.  However, it is not what I am looking for.  The suggested download is 406MB.  That's everything but MS Silverlight and the kitchen sink - overkill for our needs.  We only need to install the Windows system driver for the card.  We do not need Labview RT and the other development/support stuff for this installation.  We have our own communications software that talks directly to the hardware, via the windows system driver.  I have the 1.6.7 software CD-ROM, and need to know where the Windows sytem hardware driver/driver installer is located and what is the preferred method for installing only the hardware driver.
    Thanks,
    Ed.
