Full-Bridge Strain Vs. Custom Voltage with Ex: outputs opposite polarities of eachother (SCXI 1314)

Please see my Sig for current hardware specs.
I have a manufactured load cell that I'm plugging into an SCXI-1314 wired for full bridge. When I condition and calibrate the load cell as a Full-Bridge Strain channel (shunt cal) my signal output is POSITIVE in compression.
If I take the same load cell plugged into the same channel in the 1314 and select Custom Voltage with Excitation and give it a mV/V slope curve in the Custom Scale the signal output is NEGATIVE in compression.
Why is this? I fear I'm overlooking something very rudementary.
Other than the polarities being opposite of eachother the signals appear just fine.

What is the best way to zero a 'custom voltage with excitation' sensor from the front panel?

What is the best way to zero a 'custom voltage with excitation' sensor from the front panel?
Thanks for any help

Hi Donavan,
There are two options for zeroing with the NI-9237. You can perform offset nulling and shunt calibration with a strain task, or if you use custom excitation you can use software compensation.
See the Bridge Balancing, Offset Nulling section in the Load, Force, and Torque Measurements tutorial. Take a measurement before the strain is applied and subtract this from all subsequent measurements. See the above tutorial to consider the tradeoff in accuracy between these two options.
Hope this helps,

DAQmx Create Virtual Channel (Custom Voltage with Excitation)

Hi,
My problem is this. I am using the custom voltage w/ excitation for my application, together with the scxi 1520. Of course, you have to put values on the excitation value, say 5 V.
But whenever I turn off the chassis aftr measurements (the LabVIEW program is still open) and then do the measurements all over again, I need to enter a different value at the excitation value, say 3 V, to ensure that excitation will be provided. Otherwise, I get no signal. I can then return to the previous 5 V to do the same measurements again.
Is there a way to solve this problem. Thanks!

Ahh, ok now I understand your question. This behavior is due to a combination of 2 reasons. First the DAQ driver is caching the values for the SCXI registers, so if you set the same values for the registers the driver doesn't write to the hardware again. Second, the driver doesn't get any notification from the hardware that the hardware has been turned off, so the driver continues on as if nothing happened.
So, the best solution would be to do a device reset on the SCXI module before you start the acquisition. A device reset would clear the cache and cause data to be written out again. This would of course make things a tiny bit slower, but if you are turning off the chassis, the that little bit of time probably does not matter.

Can I measure full bridge gage configurations with SCXI1121 and 1321 terminal

Hello
I designed a load cell that uses a full bridge gage configuration. I have at my lab a SCXI 1121 module with a SCXI 1321 terminal block. I need to know if it is possible to use that hardware configuration in order to make de load cell and the data acquisition system fully functional.
Thank you.
Best regards from Bogotá, Colombia, South America

Juan,
The full brige configuration you are speaking of requires four wires, two for voltage and two for excitation, is this correct? If so here is a link that you might find helpful.
Full Bridge Configuration
This reference is for strain gauges, but the connection for a full bridge is going to be the same. The channel plus and minus and excitation plus and minus can be connected to the 1321 for the individual channel. To configure the proper gain, filtering, and excitation mode and level, please refer to the Getting Started with SCXI on pages 3-14 through 3-23 (pages 51-60 in the .pdf).

Issue with fixed point number output from 9219 module for full bridge measurement (cRIO/FPGA)

Hi,
I have a question regarding the fixed point output acquired from a 9219 module (in FPGA on a cRIO) when setup to acquire a strain measurement (full bridge).
Software: Labview 2009
Hardware: cRIO-9012 (NI-RIO 3.2.1), NI-9219 module
The 9219 module is configured in the project as follow:
Ch0: Full-Bridge +/- 7.8mV/V
Ch1: Voltage +/- 4V
Ch2: Voltage +/- 15V
Ch3: Voltage +/- 60V
The calibration mode is 'Calibrated' so the FPGA outputs fixed point numbers.
My issue is that the precision of the fixed point number for Ch0 (strain) is "(fixed point <+/-32,-1>[-2.5e1,2.5e1]:1.16e-10)", which indicates that the fixed point number is a value between +/- 0.25 and not the +7.8mV/V as I expected?
The fixed point number does not change in precision whether the range for the strain measurement is set at +/- 7.8mV/V or +/-64mV/V (the two available options).
As the fixed point number doesn't change precision I'm assuming that changing the range of the strain measurement changes the resolution of the acquired number? And as such I will need to perform additional scaling on the fixed point number to convert it to the expected range?
There is no mention of scaling of the voltage or strain measurements mentioned in any documentation or examples, with the only scaling example provided for the thermocouple measurements.
Any help/clarification is much appreciated.
Regards,
Mike

Hello Mike,
Hopefully I can help clarify some of the behavior you are seeing.
My issue is that the precision of the fixed point number for Ch0 (strain) is "(fixed point <+/-32,-1>[-2.5e1,2.5e1]:1.16e-10)", which indicates that the fixed point number is a value between +/- 0.25 and not the +7.8mV/V as I expected?
For calibrated values on the FPGA VI, the returned data is a Voltage measurement, not a directly calculated strain value. Based on the specified ranges for the 9219 in a Full bridge configuration, 250 mV will encompass all possible input values, at the module provided excitation (2-2.7V dependent on the sensor gage resistance).
The fixed point number does not change in precision whether the range for the strain measurement is set at +/- 7.8mV/V or +/-64mV/V (the two available options).
As you may notice from the fix-point definition, the fixed point data contains 32-bit precision which is larger than the acquired precision of 24-bits provided by the 9219. The fixed point data-type is coded to accept input encompassing both the range and precision of the instrument; such that, no additional coercion of the input data values is required based on user-defined software settings, i.e. the bridge sensitivities +/- 7.8mV/V or +/-64mV/V.
As the fixed point number doesn't change precision I'm assuming that changing the range of the strain measurement changes the resolution of the acquired number? And as such I will need to perform additional scaling on the fixed point number to convert it to the expected range?
The documentation does not clearly define that by varying the discrete levels of strain input (+/- 7.8mV/V or +/-64mV/V) the range of the ADC on the module is also adjusted. I am working to follow up further on this topic, to provide a clarification on the module documentation. As for scaling, the voltage values acquired regardless of the ADC resolution will still be related strain via the bridge sensitivity. The resolution of the ADC will simply define the smallest measurable change in the strain value.
There is no mention of scaling of the voltage or strain measurements mentioned in any documentation or examples, with the only scaling example provided for the thermocouple measurements.
For converting the acquired voltage values to a strain measurement, I would recommend the documentation linked here for a detailed explanation on strain calculation. Often, users will forward the acquired voltage data as fixed point values through a DMA FIFO to the RT controller on the Compact RIO; such that, they may handle conversion from voltage to strain using floating point math in real-time.
I hopes these responses provided a bit of clarity. I will continue to work to provide additional information on the 9219 specification information. Please post back any further questions.
Cheers!

SCXI 1520 quarter bridge setup will not output excitation voltage, but full bridge will

My SCXI system will not output an excitation voltage to the quarter bridge(verified with voltmeter). It works for a full bridge setup. When connected to a 'quarter bridge I' configuration, I can use MAX to null and shunt calibrate. The quarter bridge circuit appears to be balanced after the calibration, but the calibration results post a software gain factor close to zero, as well as a close to zero excitation voltage (eventhough I have the voltage configured for 5 volts). I have the SCXI 1520 module, the virtual channels, and the wiring properly configured (several years experience with this device). I'm using an old E series DAQ card AI-16XE-50, with the 50 pin cable that plugs in the back of the SCXI chassis. I noticed I had two bent pins with the cable connector module that plugs into the SCXI backplane. I was able to straighten them, so the cable connects properly, but I suspect the bent pin incident caused electrical circuit damage. Any suggestions on trouble shooting? None of the three 1520 modules I have will output an excitation voltage for a quarter bridge.

Sorry that I don't have an answer for you tyea, but I'm interested in your thread because I have a similar issue with a 1520. My excitation votltage, as measured with a DVM, is always 1V. I've tried 0V, 1V, 5V --- it's always 1V, on Full or Quarter bridge. I'm using a similar DAQ to yours - a PCI 16XE-10 (and a PCI-6030E on antother system).
I don't have a lot of experience with these modules. This could be a wiring or programmatic thing I'm doing wrong.

9237 with full-bridge load cell: load cell_null_off_shuntcal.vi throws error 200077

Hi,
I'm trying to use the example
load_cell_null_off_shuntcal.vi with a full-bridge load cell (Honeywell
Model 31, unamplified). I am using LabView 8.6, cDAQ-9172 and NI9237. The
load cell is connected to pins 2,3,6 and 7.
The inputs for the VI front panel
are: internal excitation10V; mV/V 2.1492 (calibration sheet); max weight 10
lbs; bridge resistance 350 ohms (Honeywell specs); 9237 internal shunt
resistance 100 kohms; shunt location R4 (default setting). I have selected
"Do offset null" and "Do shunt cal".
This is the error I receive:
Error -200077 occurred at DAQmx
Perform Shunt Calibration (Bridge).vi:1 Possible reason(s):
Measurements: Requested value is not
a supported value for this property.
Property:
AI.Bridge.ShuntCal.GainAdjust
You Have Requested: -61.980405e3
Valid Values Begin with: 500.0e-3
Valid Values End with: 1.500000
If the "Do shunt cal"
green button is not selected, there is no error. I understand that the Gain
adjust value should be approx 1, whereas the one I get is much larger. The subVI DAQmx PerformShuntCalibration
(bridge).vi contains a "Call library function node" which I don't
know how to interrogate.
Has anyone else had experience
with this error? Do you have any advice on:
1)
How to "see" the calculations being
perfomed inside the "call library function node"?
2)
What the correct shunt element
location for a full bridge load cell is? (although changing this location does
not eliminate the error, I can't find this info).
3)
Anything I may be doing wrong with
my inputs to cause this error?
Thanks,
Claire.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Claire,
You have to physically connect the SC terminals to one arm of the bridge (normally R3). The terminal is not provided for connecting external resistors.
See example

The issue of firmware on operator-variant models is a common sore point on these boards.
Unfortunately, Nokia's hands are tied. The operators have to approve new versions of the software before they can be applied to any phone sold to them by Nokia as their own variant.
You will probably find that the operators' customer service staff are trained only to give advice on network services, if you want answers on issues other than that you need to locate the operator's head office and pester them. If you are a contract customer, that address should appear on your bill.

CS5 custom build with GTX 285 for long-form 4k projects

I've been researching nonstop for several days, and it's time to ask for your expert opinions. I would appreciate any help.
I'm ordering a new system for Production Premium CS5, and mostly I will use Premiere Pro CS5 to edit long-form projects (huge timelines with thousands of clips) of Red 4k footage. It's a feature film with only a few F/X shots, but we'd like to do as much F/X, sound mixing, and color correction in CS5 as possible.
Here is what I'm considering:
CUSTOM BUILD from CYBERPOWERPC (about $1950 including items not listed):
OS: Windows 7 Professional x64
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-930 2.80 GHz 8M Intel Smart Cache LGA1366
HDD: 1TB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Hard Drive)
MOTHERBOARD: * (3-Way SLI Support) GigaByte GA-X58A-UD5 Intel X58 Chipset SLI/CrossFireX Ultra Durable™3 Mainboard DDR3/1600 ATX Mainboard w/7.1 Dobly Audio,eSATA,Dual GbLAN, USB3.0, 2 x SATA-III RAID,IEEE1394a,4 Gen2 PCIe,2 PCIe X1 &1 PCI [+132]
MEMORY: 12GB (2GBx6) DDR3/1600MHz Triple Channel Memory Module [+219] (Kingston HyperX)
SOUND: Creative Labs SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio 24-BIT PCI Sound Card [+48]
VIDEO: Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 (I will have to take out their card and install this myself for GPU acceleration)
1. Do you see any poor or strange decisions?
2. I liked that mobo because of the chipset's possibilities and because it has 1394 for old-style DV capture. Plus it has 8 SATA 2.0's, 2 SATA 3.0's, 2. eSATA 2.0's, and 2 USB 3.0's for huge/fast storage options in the future. Is there some better alternative if I'm keen to have at least one of each of these formats?
3. I'll clone their 1TB OS drive onto a smaller 250GB drive to use as the OS drive, then use their 1TB drive as part of a 2TB RAID 0 video storage. Will using the mobo's raid controller or some type of virtual RAID (like I did in Xp64) be fine, or do I need a separate RAID controller (like I had in the late 90's).
4. What do you think about that processor and RAM for what I'm doing? Any reason to prefer 2 Quad-Core's (if dual processors are even compatible with CS5)? Please let me know if the current configuration will lag with huge timelines with thousands of 4k clips.
5. Maybe I don't need the Creative sound card and could just use the mobo's sound?
6. Will it be simple for me to remove their graphics card and install an Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 myself?
7. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 seems like a good fit for GPU acceleration for me since I'm not expecting to have 4+ layers of videos, though I will be doing multiple effects on 1 or 2 layers. Would having a Quadro FX give any advantage over the GTX 285 for huge timelines with thousands of 4k clips? Or any advantages for any other use?
8. The GTX 285 has 2 DVI's as its only connectors (plus something that looks like S-video). Can I use one DVI for my workstation and one DVI for monitoring video in realtime on an HDMI/DVI-equipped LCD TV or professional HD video monitor. Any problems with viewing/outputting my 4k video in HD in realtime? What is the best setup to view your video on an external monitor? Back in the CS2 days I used a 1394 through a camcorder into an analog professional monitor, but that's not going to be HD, plus I heard there's a sync problem these days.
Thanks for your advice.

Thanks for your advice, everyone!
I'm gaining a lot of knowledge, but I have some followups so I'll break it down into subcategories and hopefully you can chime in on one or more topics.
To give more info about my daily use and purpose:
--smoothly edit huge amounts of RED 4k footage/clips and view the video externally in as high a resolution as possible (2k or minimum of 1k).
---no reason to have more than 3 layers visible at a time.
--the vast majority of the time only 1 video layer (with video effects) will be visible, with perhaps a handful of fades/dissolves during the entire 2-hour feature.
--I don't mind if it takes slightly more time rendering DPX files at the end, but I don't want any hiccups and never want to render during day-to-day editing and monitoring.
GRAPHICS CARD and VIDEO MONITORS
1. I'm pretty much set on the GTX 285, but I wondered if for my purposes I'd get any significant benefit from the Quadro FX 5800 (+$2000-$2600) or the GTX 480 (+$100)? Either in speed of playback or in output to external video monitors. The 5800 has 4GB RAM versus the GTX 285's 1GB, and the GTX 480 has 1.5 GB. Does this RAM matter for what I'm doing or are the cores much more important? Also, if I chose the GTX 480 then I'd have to pray that everything would be stable with a MPE/CUDA/GPU-acceleration hack, or hope Adobe comes through with full support of that card.
2. What is the 3rd output on the GTX 285? There are two DVI outputs and then something that looks like S-Video. Is it S-video out? Or an HD audio out that travels alongside the DVI output to an external video monitor?
3. Does it slow down the system to send the video at 1k or 2k to an external video monitor since you'd be using both DVI outputs simultaneously?
RED 4k PLAYBACK and RAM vs CPU
1. For day-to-day editing, I'm fine scaling to 1/4 resolution if necessary and monitoring video externally at 1k or 2k. Would my current system already achieve that smoothly?
2. From what I've gathered here and elsewhere, for better 2k or 4k playback it might be better to spend extra on CPU rather than RAM. I could spend
--$1000 more for 24GB RAM (instead of 12GB)
--$290 more for an i7 975 Extreme 3.33 GHz 8M Cache
--$686 more for an i7 980x Extreme 3.33 GHz 12M cache.
Given my needs and the current total system cost of $1950, which of these 3 would you choose? Or should I stay with the cheaper i7 930 2.8 GHz and overclock (which I've never done before).
ECBowen:
It sounds like you've used a system similar to what I'm buying to playback RED 4k on a timeline in full, 1/2, and 1/4 scale. I'd greatly appreciate if you could clarify YES/NO for which are possible to have SMOOTH PLAYBACK with your 980x/12GB RAM/GTX 285 system. I know it's a lot to ask, but it would make me feel so much better about this big purchase:
-full scale 4k of 1 layer with 0 video effects
-full scale 4k of 3 layers with 0 video effects
-full scale 4k of 1 layer with 3 video effects
-full scale 4k of 3 layers with 3 video effects (NO, right?)
-1/2 scale of 1 layer with 0 video effects
-1/2 scale of 3 layers with 0 video effects
-1/2 scale of 1 layer with 3 video effects
-1/2 scale of 3 layers with 3 video effects

1. I won't use the virtual/software controller. The GigaByte UD5 says it has RAID 0, 1, 5, 10. Does that mean it has an onboard hardware controller that I can configure in Windows 7 or using some software supplied with the mobo?

Unknown namespace prefix Error - when using custom Aliases with RDF aliases

I am getting unknown namespace prefix error when I use custome SEM_ALIAS with rdf SEM_ALIAS. It seems once you specify custom SEM_ALIAS, the default rdf alias is not recognized. Following are the details of queries
I have a sem_Model "test" which has "event" as a class and "Merger" as a sub-class of event, with "acquiringorg" as a property having the domain "org". "Org" is also defined as a class with the literal attribute "hasname". I have added one instance of "merger" class with appropriate values for "acquiringorg" property. There is one instance or "Org" as well for reference in the instance above.
the following query(return all objects having property "acquiringorg" and its .e. "hasName" attribute for the object) runs fine and returns appropriate resultset
select x event,z acquiringorg ,l acquireeorg from table(SEM_MATCH(
'(?x Evnt:AcquiringOrg ?y)(?k orgn:hasName ?l)',
SEM_MODELS('test'),
null,
SEM_ALIASES(SEM_ALIAS('Evnt','http://www.abc.com/Event/Merger/'),
SEM_ALIAS('orgn','http://www.abc.com/Org/')),
null));
However when I want to add another criteria i.e. show me events of type merger(?x rdf:type :Merger) , the query fails with the "unknown namespace prefix error" as above
select x event,z acquiringorg ,l acquireeorg from table(SEM_MATCH(
'(?x rdf:type :Merger)(?x Evnt:AcquiringOrg ?y)(?k orgn:hasName ?l)',
SEM_MODELS('test'),
null,
SEM_ALIASES(SEM_ALIAS('Evnt','http://www.abc.com/Event/Merger/'),
SEM_ALIAS('orgn','http://www.abc.com/Org/')),
null));
specifying "rdf" ALIAS explicitly also does not work
select x event,z acquiringorg ,l acquireeorg from table(SEM_MATCH(
'(?x rdf:type :Merger)(?x Evnt:AcquiringOrg ?y)(?k orgn:hasName ?l)',
SEM_MODELS('test'),
null,
SEM_ALIASES(_SEM_ALIAS('rdf', 'http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'),_
SEM_ALIAS('Evnt','http://www.abc.com/Event/Merger/'),
SEM_ALIAS('orgn','http://www.abc.com/Org/')),
null));
I am unable to figure out why default namespace i.e. rdf is returning this error
Stuck at this point badly!!Any pointers would be useful!!

Full error details are as below

Only Bridge CS 5 will open with PS CS 6

I installed PS CS 6 without first deleting PS CS 5 first. I was told I did not need to. Anyway now only Bridge CS 5 will open with PS CS 6, not Bridge CS 6. Bridge CS 6 is loaded. I can access Bridge CS 6 through the Mini Bridge which doesn't work well for me. I need the full Bridge CS 6 to open, not Bridge CS 5. Can anyone help ?

Both programs are seperate so no need to delete previous version.
You probably have Bridge CS5 running in the background. Only one version can be running.
Open task manager and in processes look for Bridge.exe and close.
You might have Bridge CS5 set to open at login so you should change this in advanced preferences.

9237 + full-bridge load cell: load cell_null_off_shuntcal.vi - error 200077

I'm trying to use
load_cell_null_off_shuntcal.vi with load cell (Honeywell Model 31,
unamplified). I am using LabView 8.6, cDAQ-9172 and NI9237. Inputs:
internal excitation10V; mV/V 2.1492 (calib. sheet); max weight 10 lbs; bridge
resistance 350 ohms (Honeywell specs); 9237 internal shunt resistance 100
kohms; shunt location R4 (default setting). Have selected "Do offset
null" and "Do shunt cal".
Error -200077 occurred at DAQmx
Perform Shunt Calibration
(Bridge).vi:1 Possible reason(s):
Measurements: Requested value is not
a supported value for
this property.
Property:
AI.Bridge.ShuntCal.GainAdjust
You Have Requested: -61.980405e3
Valid Values Begin with: 500.0e-3
Valid Values End with: 1.500000
If "Do shunt cal" green
button not selected, no error. Gain adjust should be approx 1. subVI
DAQmx PerformShuntCalibration (bridge).vi contains "Call library function
node" which is locked (?).
Any ideas?
What is the correct shunt element
location for a full bridge load cell? Changing this location does not eliminate
error.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello CFJ,
The problem is most likely in your external connections of the NI 9237 and the load cell. As referenced in the NI 9237 Operating Instructions and Specifications, page 9, the SC+ and SC- pins should be connected across the resistor specified in the DAQmx Perform Shunt Calibration (Bridge).vi (in the case of a full bridge it would be R3).
Let me know if you are still having issues with your calibration.

Can only get the "Draft" stamp when insert customer stamp with C#+JS

I am trying to insert customer stamp in batch files with C#+JS.
My JS works well in Acrobat. However, it doesn't work when use C#+JS. I always get the Acrobat's "Draft" stamp other than my own ones (the AP value is confirmed correct).
In c#, it runs as this ( with the objectype.InvokeMember())
1. initial an annotation with addAnnot first and get the properties object with method of getProp().
2. Set the type entry of the properties object as "Stamp"
3. With setProp(), modify the annotation to a Stamp annotation, and then get the properties object of the Stamp annotation.
4. Set the entries (rect, page, AP ) of the properties object. Then use setProp() again to modify the properties of the Stamp annotation.
The program runs without any error message. But I can only get the default stamp "Draft".
One thing I found so far, in JS console in Acrobat, if I set the AP properties AFTER set the annotation type to "Stamp", it also get the "Draft" stamp only. as this,
     annot = this.addAnnot();
     prop = annot.getProps();
     prop.type = "Stamp";
     annot.setProps(prop);
     prop = annot.getProps();
     prop.page = 0;
     prop.rect = [0, 0, 100, 100];
     prop.AP = "#xxxxxxxx";
     annot.setProps(prop);
If I set the prop.Ap before the forth line in above para, I can get the right stamp.
     annot = this.addAnnot();
     prop = annot.getProps();
     prop.type = "Stamp";
     prop.AP = "#xxxxxxxx";
     annot.setProps(prop);
     prop = annot.getProps();
     prop.page = 0;
     prop.rect = [0, 0, 100, 100];
     annot.setProps(prop);
Or, if I set the props in the typcial JS format like below, I also get the right one
annot = this.addAnnot({
type: stamp,
page: 0,
rect: [0,0,100,100]
AP: #xxxxxxxx)});
But, the problem is, in C#, the AP properties can only be set after set the annotation type as Stamp (step 4). I think this might be the reason, but I don't know how to get over this.
Please help. Thanks!

No, it can't – but you could do that yourself as part of the watermarking process (ie. Two watermarks or fields)

Customer Statement with opening and closing balances

Dear Forum,
The users want to generate the Customer Statement with opening and closing balances like the traditional one. The statement now generated gives the list of all open items as on date, but the users want the statement with opening balances as on the date of the begining of the range specified and the closing balance at the end of the period for which the statement is generated. Is there a way to generate the same from the system.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,

Hi,

You can use the program RFKORD10 with correspondance type SAP06 for your company code
This program prints account statements and open items lists for customers and vendors in letter form. For account statements, all postings between two key dates, as well as the opening and closing balance, are listed.
