ECU management on base of CompactRIO and LabVIEW (Help needed!)

Hello,
I'm working on a project, and it's the first time with the CRIO and LabVIEW Combo..
Now I already purchased a couple modules. such as the DRIVVEN PFI and ESTTL module.
But now I'm stuck, I made a complete VI, ready to compile towards the CRIO but now I can't read the cranckshaft and camshaft signal into my Digital input module (must say, this is a NI9411 module , not Drivven!).
I have connected two input pins towards the ENGinsig from the EPT SubVI. but I can't get something on my PC screen or out of the PFI module.
Could anyone help me?!
many thanks
PJ

Hello,
First of all thanks for your post!
I would first advise you to repost the question in a less general board.
Posting a question like this in the default "LabVIEW" will make it harder to get the right people to help you.
This board (http://forums.ni.com/t5/Real-Time-Measurement-and/​bd-p/280) would for example be a more suitable candidate.
Also do not forget to include as much (relevant) information as possible in your post.
Things I have in mind are:
- The actual code you're testing. (project and necessary files)
- The examples your basing your code upon.
- Which modules are placed in which slots? (a MAX Report of yoiur RT target will do the trick for this purpose)
- Which software is installed on your own pc? (a MAX Report of your own system will be fine for this)
To create a MAX Report, please follow these steps:

  • Xbee pro 60mw wire antenna and Labview guidance needed

     I have some questions regarding zigbee and labview interface. I'm currently working on a project and this is my first time using zigbee and labview. 
    In my project, I want to transmit data wirelessly between two zigbees where data is the output that sensors generate by reading humans body temperature and heart rate(pulse).
    I want to use the labview to display the values and data in a graphical way and ultimately to a TFT display. Right now, I'm using Mega pro 2560 and XBee Pro 60mW Wire Antenna - Series 1 (802.15.4). 
    All the sensors are off the shelf sensors from Sparkfun and they are connected to microcontroller. 
    I want to know if my steps are correct.
    First, I have succeeded in sensors trasmitting its output to microcontroller. Then microcontroller stores data in SD card connected to microcontroller before tramitting them to the receiver.. 
    Second, by using X-ctu, set up some configuration between two zigbees such as baud rate.
    And this is kinda where I'm stuck at. My receiver(Xbee pro) is connected to ftdi then to PC using the USB cable. My transmitter(Xbee pro), sensors and microcontroller are connected to breadboard powered by lithium ion battery. 
    Could you please give me some tips or steps how you would go about using the labview at this point? Do you need some code for labview and zigbee interface?
    I'm sort of new to this. If you can help, I would really appreaciate it.

    I got stuck in this part. Can you check out the last reply I made in this forum : https://decibel.ni.com/content/message/49209
    Also, from my receiver end(xbee pro) that is connected to PC through ftdi,
    I was wondering how you would go about designing the serial communication from the receiver to Labview display.
    The file attached is kind of thing I want to do. I have three major sensor data to display(heart rate, body temperature, and motion speed).
    I want to show them to three graphical disaplay at the same time. 
    Can you give me some tips on designing the labview part? and also I would really appreacite if you could give me some tip on fixing the error I first stated in another forum. Refering any related forum would be helpful. Thanks a lot.

  • Problems in accessing forum and LabVIEW help

    Today I experience heavy problems accessing the forum (slow and sloooower…) as well as the online LabVIEW help just giving:
    Internal Server Error - Read
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
    Reference #3.45911160.1390920616.8e98ad6
     Yesterday I experienced problems searching in the online help: While it seems to work in LV2011 help the same words weren't found in the LV2009 help!
    What's going on here?

    Hi,
    no, it's not fixed at all. The problems of searching the online LabVIEW help still persist!
    Searching for "snippet" in the LV2009 help results in this:
    (German for "no search results")
    Searching the exact same word in the LV2011 help gives the expected results:
    So I guess the search is still broken for the older LV2009 online help…

  • [Mostly Sorted] Extracting tags - regexp_substr and count help needed!

    My original query got sorted, but additional regexp_substr and count help is required further on down!
    Hi,
    I have a table on a 10.2.0.3 database which contains a clob field (sql_stmt), with contents that look something like:
    SELECT <COB_DATE>, col2, .... coln
    FROM   tab1, tab2, ...., tabn
    WHERE tab1.run_id = <RUNID>
    AND    tab2.other_col = '<OTHER TAG>'(That's a highly simplified sql_stmt example, of course - if they were all that small we'd not be needing a clob field!).
    I wanted to extract all the tags from the sql_stmt field for a given row, so I can get my (well not "mine" - I'd never have designed something like this, but hey, it works, sorta, and I'm improving it as and where I can!) pl/sql to replace the tags with the correct values. A tag is anything that's in triangular brackets (eg. <RUNID> from the above example)
    So, I did this:
    SELECT     SUBSTR (sql_stmt,
                       INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL),
                       INSTR (substr(sql_stmt, INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL)), '>', 1, 1)
                       ) tag
    FROM       export_jobs
    WHERE      exp_id =  p_exp_id
    CONNECT BY LEVEL <= (LENGTH (sql_stmt) - LENGTH (REPLACE (sql_stmt, '<')))Which I thought would be fine (having tested it on a text column). However, it runs very poorly against a clob column, for some reason (probably doesn't like the substr, instr, etc on the clob, at a guess) - the waits show "direct path read".
    When I cast the sql_stmt as a varchar2 like so:
    with my_tab as (select cast(substr(sql_stmt, instr(sql_stmt, '<', 1), instr(sql_stmt, '>', -1) - instr(sql_stmt, '<', 1) + 1) as varchar2(4000)) sql_stmt
                    from export_jobs
                    WHERE      exp_id = p_exp_id)
    SELECT     SUBSTR (sql_stmt,
                       INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL),
                       INSTR (substr(sql_stmt, INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL)), '>', 1, 1)
                       ) tag
    FROM       my_tab
    CONNECT BY LEVEL <= (LENGTH (sql_stmt) - LENGTH (REPLACE (sql_stmt, '<')))it runs blisteringly fast in comparison, except when the substr'd sql_stmt is over 4000 chars, of course! Using dbms_lob instr and substr etc doesn't help either.
    So, I thought maybe I could find an xml related method, and from this link:get xml node name in loop , I tried:
    select t.column_value.getrootelement() node
      from (select sql_stmt xml from export_jobs where exp_id = 28) xml,
    table (xmlsequence(xml.xml.extract('//*'))) tBut I get this error: ORA-22806: not an object or REF. (It might not be the way to go after all, as it's not proper xml, being as there are no corresponding close tags, but I was trying to think outside the box. I've not needed to use xml stuff before, so I'm a bit clueless about it, really!)
    I tried casting sql_stmt into an xmltype, but I got: ORA-22907: invalid CAST to a type that is not a nested table or VARRAY
    Is anyone able to suggest a better method of trying to extract my tags from the clob column, please?

  • Various Direct Debit and Billing Help Needed

    FAILURE TO DELIVER BILL IN PAPER FORMAT: Firstly when I discovered that my account number was encrypted in the email and that I could not pay the bill online, without having the whole account number in full - I contacted BT who told me that they would post my bill and it would arrive in paper form.  A week later, no sign of it so phoned again and again I was told that another paper copy would be sent out - waited another week - still no sign! Got a reminder email that my bill had not been paid - doh! I knew that but I was trying to get that sorted out! So phoned again today and the guy in India or wherever the heck he is, told me that he would setup a profile on BT.com for me and this would allow me to pay online.
    TEMPORARY ACCESS TO BT.COM?: The email address which this member of staff had set up on BT.com for me was identical to my old btinternet.com account minus a number! The new email address with this new account is somewhat different and when I try to edit simple information on the profile page, it does not allow me to do so.  Can anyone explain why?
    UNABLE TO SET UP DIRECT DEBIT:  I log-in to My BT (whether it's temp. access or not) and then click on Bills and Payments but instead of more options I get a graphic which has got "Ugrade to an online account" on one side and "Help with Billing and Payments" on the other side.  When I click on "see all billing and payments help" nothing happens and in fact NONE of the links work.
    Would it be the better idea to re-register with BT.com and this time put the correct BT email address in, the one that i was given with this account - see if it works that way?
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    This is essentially a customer to customer help forum; I could make one or two suggestions which might explain things but would be equally likely to complicate the matter. It all looks a bit messy and you need to get BT's help in sorting it out. The moderators who oversee this forum are jolly good at that and you can contact them here: Contact BT Care Team.
    They are busy and may take a few days to respond but will contact you by email or phone, and will have access to your account in order to put things straight.

  • Lost Library and Rebuild Help Needed

    Hi, I was on here a few months ago, still haven't solved my problem so I'd thought I'd post my questions again. I had a library of 11,000+ photos that one day decided not to show up in iPhoto. I just saw black boxes and ! everywhere my photos normally would've been. My library icon was still on my external drive, and if I "explore contents" all my pictures are there in the modified and originals folders but they don't show up in iPhoto.
    I have tried to rebuild using iPhoto Library Manager and the iPhoto rebuild function. I get the message that my hard disk is almost full and I need to delete some files. The pictures and all iPhoto Libraries are located on an external drive with 200+ GB of space free. My Mac HD is almost full, and I've deleted what I can but don't know what else to delete without hurting anything.
    I would like a new library created with my 11,000+ photos, without getting an error message. Why would iPhoto care if my Mac HD is almost full, if I'm putting everything on my external drive that has plenty of space? How do I get my library back? Thanks!

    Oh, TD I just found your reply to a similar question on a different post, on how to rebuild my library. I am going to try it using the Originals folders as you suggested. However, I seem to run into a problem while importing, I only have about 5 GB free on my laptop hard drive and about halfway through the importing it tells me my hard disk is full and the rest of the photos can't be imported. I have deleted any programs and files off my disk that I don't need, I don't know what else to remove without hurting my comp. I downloaded whatsize and it tells me what sizes everything is but I can't figure out which files to delete. Any suggestions? It's still importing to my external drive, but while it's doing that it looks like it's still filling up space on my laptop for some reason and I don't know where to go from there. Did any of that make sense?

  • Best practices and tips help needed to create animation

    Hi There
    I am producing my first project in AE and came across this example which is similar to what  of which I need to implement in the project.
    http://www.lonja.de/wikipen/
    (see 8 seconds in on the imagespot video)
    My scenario is I need to portray a network of nodes that are all interlinked (and possibly increasing in number, network links and nodes flourishing from spawn points of other nodes portraying that the network is an infinite expandable entity).
    Could anyone suggest how I'd create this, point me to tutorials, or let me know what the actual term for that kind of linked kinetic motion is?
    The important thing I suppose is how I manage the workflow efficiently. There must be a more effective way than animating 50+ nodes individually, also how would I best tie the network links that connect the nodes (as in the example) so that they follow the nodes wherever they are (this motion can be random).
    Any help appreciated
    thanks

  • E55 Cut and Paste HELP NEEDED!!!!

    I hope someone has the answer to this. Have Nokia removed the paste key on the E55 when you're in a web browser? On my N96 and N95 all I did was hold down the '#' key and the pencil appeared with the word "paste" on the right soft key. I can cut and paste in every other application such as email, text, note, calender, but why not in when I'm on a webpage? Is there a software update available for this or have they removed the feature? Please can someone help me with this or I'm going to sell the phone! 

    I'm not familiar with the E55 but give this a try:
    Find and run the application manager.
    Select installed apps. 
    Highlight the opera program in the list.
    Press options > suite settings > access point
    Select your data connection.
    Now give it a try (after exiting the app manager).

  • N97 wifi and connectivy help needed

    Hi everybody: I have for about 3 weeks  owned and using an unbranded N97, upgraded it to 11, and for the last 2 years was using an N95 also unbranded, with no issues.(still using it as second line).
    The N97 recognizes my Wifis at home, in the office, at the airport , connects perfectly. But never stops looking for that wifi when going to another one.
     For example when I leave home to go to office even with priority set, I need to tell it to connect on arrival. .
    But then if I click on accuweather update (or for that matter any other stuff) the phone still tries to connect to the previously  used wifi, and screams repeatedly disconnect . Dispite what the manual says, the phone does not offer me a "disconnect all"option .
    Only solution I have is turn of the phone. Then on, and phone is asking me to chose which connection to use,then I select the one that is available.
    Any ideas to have a seamless connection disconnection, including use of gprs when out in the street ?
    Thanks of any help 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When you access "Destinations" on top of the screen should read " Network Destinations      Default: Internet"  the way to change this is by selecting Options -> Default Connections and selecting Internet.
    Once all of this is place make The Internet access point your default.  
    What's happening here is that the Internet access point encompasses all your registered access points into the one access point therefore enabling the phone to automatically search for available connections and connecting following your priority order. 
    Set Internet as your deault in your browser, and all other apps that allow you to define an access point, note though that in some apps you will need to select Default Connection
    Do this for both WLAN's Destinations -> Internet -> WLAN -> Use Access Point-> Automatically and let the phone scan for WLAN every couple of minutes I've set mine to every 5 minutes as I want it connected to WLAN as soon as it becomes available.
    My setup is like this
    Destination -> Internet -> @Home priority1 -> @Work priority2 -> Orange Internet priority3 Orange java priority4.
    The phone manages to automatically switch from @home to Orange Network when I leave the house and from Orange Network to @work when I get to work and the other way round. Note though that when connection is lost from both WLAN's I get a beep notifying me.

  • W530 SSD and Memory help needed for high performanc​e systems.

    Hi Guys,
    After dealing with lots of laptops that got destroyed by daily use, our organizations is considering ordering 25 Thinkpad W530 laptops from Lenovo and we hope that they last a little longer.
    Our main usage is video editing and design so we have chosen the best that Lenovo has to offer as far as hardware.
    Since Lenovo charges arm and a leg for SSD and 16GB memories, we have decided to purchase these separately and upgrade ourselves.
    Knowing the high need for performance, what would you recommend for 128GB SSD and 16GB memory?
    The laptops are all coming with 7200 RPM drives for storage so the SSD is mainly for programs and the OS.
    For the drive bay, does this part sound right to you? http://shop.lenovo.com/us/itemdetails/0A65623/460/​89555ADB1CE946DA80E0E5D6FE77B164
    This would be used for the HDD and the SSD would be moved to main HDD location.
    Is there anything else we should know about these laptops?
    Thank you in advanced for your time and all suggestions are welcomed.
    Cheers,

We won't be using AfterEffects or adding anything to the videos other than some text (titles, maybe sub-titles).
    The other purpose of this workstation is to act as a file server and backup system for other machines in the lab. Coders will be viewing the exported videos via other networked machines and working with Microsoft Office files that will be stored on the workstation's other HDDs. I'll have a physical backup drive and cloud backup via CrashPlan.
    I've built a machine that is probably overkill, but the client (my wife) wanted it to be "fast," and the purpose of the machine might change in the future:
    i7-4770K (overclocked a bit)
    16GB RAM
    Asus Z87-Pro
    GeForce GTX 660
    I have the OS (W7) and programs on a 256 GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD and currently have two 1TB Velociraptors to use for the Premiere workflow. I'm trying to figure out how to proceed with the purchase of the rest of the drives, and I want to keep the Premiere drives separate from the large storage drives from the lab that are networked and synced to cloud backup.
    Following the recommendations for a three-disc configuration I've picked up on these forums, I could set it up like this:
    C: (256GB SSD) (OS, programs, pagefile)
    D: (1TB HDD) (media, projects)
    E: (1TB HDD) (previews, media cache, exports)
    F: (4TB HDD) (backups of media, projects, and exports and storage of other research files)*THIS DRIVE WOULD BE SHARED ON THE NETWORK
    G: (4TB external HDD) (backup of F & drive that backs up to CrashPlan)
    but it seems that would be a waste of the speed of the second 10k velociraptor. If I added another SSD and RAIDed the Velociraptors it would be:
    C: (256GB SSD) (OS, programs)
    D: (Two 1TB Velociraptors in RAID 0) (media, projects)
    E: (256GB SSD) (media cache, pagefile)
    but would I then need to add another dedicated HDD for previews and exports, or could I store those on the networked F: from above (which would be previews, exports, backups of media and projects, and storage of other research files) without taking a speed hit?
    It seems overkill to have a dedicated drive for exports and previews (let's make that the new F:), then have them copy to the first 4TB drive (now G:), then back that up to the second 4TB drive (now H:), then back that up to CrashPlan. However, people might be accessing that network drive at any time, and I don't want that to slow any part of the video process down.
    I appreciate any advice ya'll can give me!

    Hi Jim,
    Thanks for the encouraging response. I'm leaning toward the non-SSD option at this point. 
    To make sure I understand, are you suggesting I try using the Velociraptor Raid 0 in the 2 disk configuration suggested by Harm's Guidelines for Disk Usage chart? Like this:
    C: (256 GB SSD) (OS, Programs, Pagefile, Media Cache)
    D: (1TB x2 in RAID 0) (Media, Projects, Previews, Exports)?
    Where I'm still confused there, and in looking at Harm's array suggestions for 5 or more drives, is how performance is affected by having simultaneous read/write operations happening on the same drive, which is what I understood was the reason for spreading out the files on multiple drives. Maybe I don't understand how Premiere's file operations work in practice, or maybe I don't understand RAID 0 well enough.
    In the type of editing we'll be doing (minimal) aren't there still times when Premiere will be trying to read and write from the D: drive at the same time, for example during export? Wouldn't the increased speed benefits of RAID 0 for either read or write alone be defeated by asking the array to do both simultaneously?
    Maybe the reason the Media Cache is on the SSD in the above configuration is because that is what will be read while writing to something like Exports? But that wouldn't make sense given Harm's chart, which has the Media Cache also located on the array....
    Another question is, given that the final home of the exported videos will be on the big internal drive (4TB) anyway, could I set it up like this:
    C: (SSD) (OS, Programs, Pagefile, Media Cache)
    D: (2TB RAID 0) (Media, Projects, Previews)
    E: (network shared 4TB HDD) (Exports + a bunch of other shared non-video files)
    so I don't end up having to copy the exported videos over to the 4TB drive? Do you think it would render significantly faster to the RAID than it would to the 7200 rpm 4TB drive? I'd like to cut out the step of copying exported videos from D: to E: all the time if it wasn't necessary.
    Thanks again.

  • Flash fading movies and sound-HELP NEEDED

    hey guys i need some help
    firstly if u want to help me could u please visit this site
    http://www.thetimemovie.com/
    this site is what i want to do
    notice the fading pictures that can be controlled and the
    sound bar at the bottom on the left
    Any help would b aprreciated GREATLY
    thanks in advance
    BUTCH101
    PS: email [email protected] if u have any info
    thanks

    What I see in the sample site is that the "sound bars" aren't
    sync'd at all. They are just a looping clip that stops in diagonal
    shape when clicked. And, the sound is not actually being stopped
    when you click the bars. Rather, the actionscript is actually
    turning the volume down, gradually. The sound is still continually
    playing, you just can't hear it. This is evident in the fact that
    when you restart the sound, it picks up not where you left off, but
    at the point where it would have been anyway, had you not clicked
    the button.
    I believe that the sound is set to streaming and as such can
    be dealt with frame by frame. So, your real quest is to have
    someone (more knowledgable than me) provide sample code that would
    begin reducing the volume of the sound object in increments as the
    movie moves through frames. Something like:
    onFrame (95){
    mySound.setVolume(80);
    onFrame (110){
    mySound.setVolume(60);
    onFrame (120){
    mySound.setVolume(40);
    onFrame (130){
    mySound.setVolume(20);
    onFrame (140){
    mySound.setVolume(10);
    onFrame (150){
    mySound.setVolume(0);
    Obviously, you wouldn't use frame numbers, but a variable
    representing the current frame relative to the frame the movie was
    in when you clicked the button.

  • Image swap code and flex -- HELP NEEDED

    Hello Folks,
    I am still new at programming and having a major issue and wondered if anyone know a simple way to do a photogallery by using some code to create an image swap
    Thumbnail ( here )                                             Large image here
    Next Thumbnail (here )                                      Large Image changes
    Next Thumbnail (here )                                      Large Image changes
    Someone suggested I use PHP to load all the images at once but it was over my head... any one got some simple explained solutions... Really trying to learn this...
    Thanks
