Fluke 1735 Power Logger Analyser

I have been asked by a customer if we can integrate a Fluke 1735 into our DAQ installation so they can access the meters functions etc through our Labview coded program. Contacted Fluke and they said that they had no LV drivers and only supplied their own software for logging etc.
They also said that there were no manuals available giving communication protocol, registers etc.
Has anyone done anything with this meter using Labview or know if a programming manual is available so I can create the vi's?
Thanks

jack1,
Did you ever find a solution for this? I just purchased a Fluke 1735 and would love to find a way to programatically grab actively measured values from it with a remote program. I discussed the issue with Fluke, and they said they do not have any communcation drivers for this particular model at this time. I get a feeling that this is on purpose to force you to buy a higher-level (more expensive) power meter in order to connect/automate it with an external system.
The 1735 has really nice hardware, but its software is lacking....You have to use their proprietary software to download saved scope plots, events, and saved screenshots. You cannot export the downloaded data. Even though it has a physical USB connection, the driver appears to emmulate a traditional COM port simply send serial data via USB. I probed the comms data stream and was able to isolate some of the commands. I was then able to actually telnet to the 1735 and get it to respond, although not in a useful manner. The commands are not like anything I've seen before. You can see the software initialize the connection, have the meter ID itself, and then request data dumps, but that's about it. I'm not sure if there are additional commands. Interestingly, it appears the screenshots are simply not transferred bitmaps.....the meter actually sends the text from the screenshots, and the program puts it back together and "re-creates" the screenshot on your PC (A very efficient way to store/send data as long as you can post-process it back into a virtual screenshot).
I would love to get a command list for this meter. Perhaps dumping the real-time measured values would be an option....if I only knew what the command is.
Mahdeih, I find your statement of "you can always communicate with the device through the built in VISA functions in LabVIEW" to be fairly presumptious. While you can do just about anything in Labview, you are limited to whatever communcation ability the target device has. If is has none (or near-none), Labview is helpless.
Using the posted link, I searched for any new Labview drivers for the Fluke 1735, but did not find anything.
I think the ball is currently in Fluke's court.....hopefully I can get some more info from them.
Please post if anyone has had any luck communicating with the 1735.
Thanks!

Power BI analysis services connector - the remote server returned an error (403)

Hi all, does any one have any suggestions what to try to identify the configuration problem I have?
I have, a SSAS 2012 tabular instance with SP2, there is a database on the instance with a read role with everyone assigned permissions.
When configuring the Power BI analysis services connector, at the point where you enter Friendly Name, Description and Friendly error message, when you click next I receive the error "The remote server returned an error (403)."
I've tested connecting to the database from Excel on a desktop and connect fine.
I don't use a "onmicrosoft" account so don't have that problem to deal with.
We use Power BI Pro with our Office 365. As far as I can tell that part is working ok as I pass that stage of the configuration with a message saying connected to Power BI.
The connector is installed on the same server as tabular services, its a Win2012 Standard server. The tabular instance is running a domain account that is the admin account for the instance (this is a dev environment) that account is what I've used in the
connector configuration. It's also a local admin account. There is no gateway installed on the server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks, Brian

Brian-
One other common issue I've seen is the UPN not quite matching. Log onto the SSAS server as the user who's logged into Power BI. Then open a command prompt and run:
whoami /upn
Hopefully the UPN it says will match your EffectiveUserName test and will match exactly how you're signing into the Power BI site.
If that doesn't work, your best bet is to go to
http://support.powerbi.com/ and click Contact Support and describe this situation and someone from the Power BI support team should get in touch with you to troubleshoot.

How to perform power spectra analysis in DIAdem

Dear all:
I am a beginner in DIAdem but I have to complete my PhD thesis that is about the
analysis of rat EEG in DIAdem. I have acquired 10G data of rat EEG. I prefer the
power spectra method. Would someone please tell me:
1. How to perform power spectra analysis of multichannel EEG(8 channels) in
DIAdem? I hope the unit of the vertical axis is microV^2, but not dB ,nor
10*log10(microV^2/Hz).
2. How to calculate the absolute power and the relative power of EEG at a certain
frequency band in DIAdem? Is it possible to do it in DIAdem?
Thank you very much

Will the Power BI Analysis Services Connector work if AD and AAD UPN suffixes don't match?

We are using Azure Active Directory, AD FS, and DirSync with
Alternate Login IDs, which means that our on-prem usernames have a different UPN suffix from our AAD usernames.
Will the Power BI Analysis Services Connector work in this setup? Or do the AD and AAD UPN suffixes absolutely have to match?

Hey Adam,
From SSAS, we simply query AD by passing the UPN we receive from AAD. As long as AD can find a match, it'll work.
So if there is a way in AD to map a particular UPN to another value, it'll work.
For example: For a user A, her on premises UPN is
'[email protected]' but she uses '[email protected]' as her email address. From AAD we'll receive
'[email protected]' & since AD knows that this is same as
'[email protected]' effective user name will work.
Hope this clarifies! let me know if you have more questions.

Connection issue for Power BI Analysis Services Connector

Hi,
I have a problem with the connection to power bi.
the analysis services connector was installed correctly and I see in my account of power bi the tabular server, but, when wanting to deploy
database it marks me the following error: IMDExternalConnection
the user that I set as administrator has permissions on the server tabular connector.
An example :
register my account with this email from my work : [email protected], and the domain user is [email protected]
could you guide me to know why this mistake is happening?
what credentials does power bi use to access my tabular server ?
Greetings!

Hi,
Can you please share a screenshot of the error message? Is it during the installation/configuration of the connector?
If yes, I suspect it is due to invalid credentials. You need to use your windows account of the Analysis Services server admin.
If the error is during connecting to AS server from Power BI, most likely it is due to a effective user name mismatch. The 6th FAQ listed in this blog post talks about the IMDExternal connection error -

Limit testing on frequency/band power (octave analysis) data

I have performed an octave analysis and displayed the result in a regular XY-graph. The frequency appears on the x-axis and these values are not linear (they appear to be logarithmic). On the y-axis there is band power expressed in dB. I would like to perform a test to see if the graph falls within a certain region of the graph area. I would like to define this region using a small number (i.e. much less than there are octave analysis points) of XY-value pairs and then have LabVIEW interpolate in between these XY-value pairs to come up with a well-defined region in the graph. How can I do this? I'm using LabVIEW 8.2.1 with the Sound and Vibration add-on. I'd greatly appreciate any hints.

Of course.

Fluke Hydra Data Logger

I'm looking for a driver to command a Fluke Hydra 2620 data logger using the
new VISA serial functions....
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Alberto

Hi widelite,
There are several options you can take to determine if your communication is occurring as you expect. The first thing I would recommend would be to go into Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX), and communicate with the instrument from this environment. Because MAX is a sort of intermediary between the hardware and software, we can see whether or not we're getting good information from the hardware, and then we can work on getting it into LabVIEW.
To communicate with the Fluke instrument in MAX, do the following steps:
1. In the Communication window, go to My System >> Devices and Interfaces >> Ports and highlight the COM port you are using.
2. Click the "Open VISA Session" button on the toolbar at the top.
3. Go to the Basic I/O lig
ht-blue tab in the new Window that appears.
4. From here, you can execute Write functions to send commands to the device, and execute a Read to get the data back.
Once you can verify that the device is communicating with the computer, you can then use a shipping example that comes with LabVIEW to verify that LabVIEW can get the information in. The Basic Serial Write and Read.vi is a good one that you can use just to send a command to the device and read back data.

What's my password....Power BI Analysis Services Connector Deep Dive

Here are three screen shots:

PowerBI connected:
What's my password?

Hi Greg,
According to your description, you want to know the what you need to put when logging on to SSAS. Right?
In Analysis Services, Analysis Services provides a role-based authorization model that grants access to operations, objects, and data. All users who access an Analysis Services instance or database must do so within the context of a role. And the membership
of roles should be assigned to windows use (windows authentication).
In this scenario, you need to put in the windows user password. It's not supported to connect via SSAS without password.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

[Solved] Acpi handler not triggering power button action

I'm editing the acpi handler.sh script to react to my power button, here is a relevant snippet from the code:
#!/bin/sh
set $*
logger "$1 $2"
case "$1" in
button/power)
logger "$1 $2"
case "$2" in
PWRF)
logger "$1 $2"
logger "ACPI action undefined: $2"
esac
button/lid)
When i then press power, the log shows a single entry:
Aug 28 11:53:35 localhost logger: button/power PWRF
Which is from the first logger action above case "$1".
Does anyone have a clue why the following actions under button/power don't produce any output? The code below button/lid does work properly, so it seems to be just the power button action misbehaving.

I must've made a typo somewhere because it seems to work now. I'm not really sure where i went wrong though..

Power Spectrum

Ok here's the deal.. I acquire data (of type numeric array) from an acuqisition unit (the specifics of it aren't important for the problem) at a known sampling rate and wish to perform a power spectrum on this data. I've used the build waveform function to build a waveform from the 1D array of data with the addition of the dt value (1/Fs) and a timestamp and fed this waveform into the power spectrum vi. The spectrum is then plotted on a waveform chart.
However each time a new data set arrives from the acuqisition unit, the chart is overwritten.I would like to keep the previous data but would prefer not to use shift registers due to the possible size of the array. I thought if the chart's type was a "strip chart" it would hold the data until the buffer is reached but this doesn't seem to be the case.
Another possible issue is with the timestamp but I think I've accounted for that.
Note: The attached vi won't run successfully due to not being connected the the acquisition unit. I was hoping the problem might be clear to someone with more experience using the power spectrum function. I have used it successfully with generic sine waves.

Strokes,
you listen to mp3 music from time to time? Maybe, you have configured your application playing those mp3 to display something called "Bars and Waves" (at least, Microsoft calls it like this in Media Player). This display is comparable to an equalizer view.
Your display of the power spectrum analysis is really comparable to this
Does it make sense that the graph does not replace (read: update) instead of "concatenating"?

Fluke 43B Query Measurements - Harmonics

Hello,
I'm having problems with the recent released driver for the FLUKE 43B Power quality analyzer.
For the data acquisition in the VOLTS/AMPS/HERTZ the acquisition is OK, however when I change to HARMONICS mode (in the block diagram), i don´t get the harmonics value. I would like to acquire THD data (the command for the fluke is QM 11 when in harmonics mode). Please could you help me to do this in an automated way?
The VI which I refer is attached.
Thanks!

Hello Ren.Nak.
Is common when you change polymorfic VI selector, controls not change and nor wires broken. However, the VI not work. So, when you change the polymorfic VI selector, remember to delete control and create a new one. Attached is a visual explanation.
I hope have helped you.
Thanks for you contact.

Fluke FL2625a Data Collection. Need how to.

I have a Fluke 2625a data logger and I downloaded the driver for Labview 8. The driver does not have any instructions.

Thanks in advance,
Matt O

I don't think I have used this instrument in the last 10 years or so. I did look at the current driver and I see that it comes with a VI called Fluke 2625A example. Have you tried running this? Instructions are not included in drivers. You are expected to have some familiarity with the instrument by reading it's manual. Have you turned on context help? That should show what each control does and what each function is used for. This is a very old driver and was converted from one that used the old serial port functions. In that old driver, port 0 corresponds to com 1 so that is something to watch out for. The error handling in this is pretty poor as well. You should turn on automatic error dialogs.

Thinkpad keys once and for all

There are lots of people out there having problems to get thinkpad keys to work. I would like to solve this issue and potencially write a wiki page about that.
Here is the information I got till today:
1. the ibm-acpi module is renamed to thinkpad-acpi module
2. both modules create a proc interface under /proc/acpi/ibm/ which sometimes needs to be chrooted 666 to be able to control thinkpad functions from bash.
3. doing echo enable,0x0000 > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey sends key events to the thinkpad firmware (nvram module has to be loaded). Mostly this doesn't work thou...
4. doing echo enable,0xfffffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey sends key events to acpid. This has to be started and does things according to the /etc/acpi/handler.sh script. This seems to work for me (T41). Here's my script:

I have found it here http://priyadi.net/archives/2004/12/20/ … kpad-t41p/.
5. Allthou thinkpad-acpi should in time be able to handle all keys, as of today, one still needs tpb for some of them. KDE has a module in the control center that has similar functionality and doesn't depend on tpb. I have not yet tried to get all working.
Any other contribution would be welcome. The handler.sh script can probably be adapted or somehow rewritten, some of this info may be wrong...

Sorry, no solution, but I noticed the same behaviour on my X61s.
Here's my handler.sh. It's pretty much the same, but it also takes care of turning on an external VGA display (if connected), adjusting the brightness per custom script, changing the cpu frequency scaling governor on AC plug/unplug and suspending to RAM on LID close. It could be improved at certain points I guess.

Of course this could be incorporated within the handler.sh itself as well.

Thinkpad X40 Hotkeys not work on update

Hi all,
I had finally sorted out my hotkeys using acpid, as in this post:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130121
However, on updating with pacman, my acpi_listen events are now
button/fnf1 FNF1 00000080 00000000
button/battery BAT 00000080 00000000
button/screenlock SCRNLCK 00000080 00000000
button/sleep SBTN 00000080 00000000
for Fn+(F1-F4) respectively. So I tried to edit my handler.sh file to
#!/bin/bash
set $*
event="$1"\ "$2"\ "$3"\ "$4"
case "$event" in
button/power*)
logger "power button pressed; starting shutdown"
`sudo shutdown -h now`

logger "acpid: running on bat, activating powersave"
/usr/bin/cpufreq-set -g powersave # load the powersave governor
echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/thinkpad_screen/brightness ;; # set brightness to the lowest level
ac*1)
logger "acpid: running on ac, activating ondemand"
/usr/bin/cpufreq-set -g ondemand # load the ondemand governor

logger "acpid: Access IBM button pressed: no action"

logger "acpid: $event is not defined" ;;
esac
However, now none of these keys are working. It is somewhat annoying, as I only just got them working!
Any thoughts would be appreciated,

I can't get mine working in Arch XFCE either. In Fedora 15 Gnome, I get the same acpi events as in Arch, but I can actually use them.
In Arch If I call an action file in XFCE from: Applications Menu > Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts, and use Fn + F3 (for instance) as the shortcut, XF86Battery is what is displayed as the shortcut. Pressing Fn + F3 doesn't call the action file though. If I do not assign Fn + F3 to this action file, pressing Fn + F3 does nothing except generate an acpi event. BTW, I tried running the action file [root@myhost actions]# ./blank.sh and the file works (also works by running as a regular user), so the problem is not the action file.
Here is my action file: /etc/acpi/actions/blank.sh
#! /bin/sh
/usr/bin/xset dpms force off
In Fedora 15 Gnome, if I call the same action file in a similar way with the keyboard shortcut Fn + F3, Battery is what is displayed as the shortcut. Pressing Fn + F3 runs the action file in Fedora. If I do not assign Fn + F3 to this action file, Fn + F3 brings up a battery info dialog box (not unexpected).
Something is broken. I don't think anyone has thinkpad_acpi working in an up-to-date Arch install. Someone should file a bug report, but it won't be me.
EDIT: I am using a Lenovo ThinkPad X220.
