General histogram & negative bins

Hi. I'm building a system that should display a histogram with times from brain cell spikes. The measurement measures all spikes, but they have to be displayed relative to a time t0. So the histogram has to start at -t0 and run to (measurement time - t0).
I'm using the general histogram library function, but when I feed it with the necessary bins and data (both contain negative parts thus), it only displays the positive times. The axis starts from -t0 however.
You can check the VI I'm testing the histogram with.
What could be the reason for this strange behaviour?

What's the difference between the Histogram VI and the General Histogram VI ?

Hello,
I did a google and forum search for this and came up empty. I'd like to know if there should be a difference in how the two work ?
I'm asking because I was giving the exact same X array to both and was getting two different results, unless I also specified the interval/#bins to be equal for both of them. (interval for Histogram VI and #bins for General Histogram VI)
This also means I'd like to know what the difference is between intervals and #bins ? Are they the same thing with just different names ?
This is more to get a general understanding on how the two VIs work than getting a specific solution for a problem by the way, so any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance.

For the purposes of understanding these VI's, they are the interchangeable. In the case of statistics, the interval can be thought of "the number of pieces of data you want to spread across a population". When doing this, you are placing the pieces of data into virtual "bins". Hence, they are basically the same thing.
As far as the difference in the two VI's , there's nothing I can say that can't be said by comparing the help for each VI. The advanced VI just gives you tighter control of your data.

Histograms in BEx

Hi,
I would like to know if any one has experience with creating Histograms (Charts) in BEx. Here is the information:
    1. I have a keyfigure "Quantity" in a Query for a
       Characteristic "Cost Center" and a time char.
    2. The Quantities range from Zero to 50.
    3. Now, the requirement is to create "Bins", for
       example Bin1 = Count of Qty 0 to 5, Bin2 = Count
       of Qty 6-11, Bin3 = Count of qty 12-17 and so on.
    4. Create a Histogram with "Bin Values" on X-axis
       and "Number of Occurrences" (Counts) on Y-axis.
I appreciate any help on this.
Thanks
Srini

Hi Srinivas,
is the range of quantities in general from 0 .. 50 ? In this case create a new worksheet and insert your query.
Then define a cell-range anywhere out of the query-cell-range and summarize your "bins" in these cells via Excel-formulas.
By inserting a query in a worksheet these sheet gets added a VisualBasic-Sub called "SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID as String, resultArea as Range)". Insert a small VB-Code, which creates a Chart out of the "Bin-Cell-Range".
A good idea to create this code is turning on the Macro-Recorder in Excel, inserting the Chart with your preferences and turning off the Macro-Recorder. Then transfer this part into the above called Sub.
I know, it's a dirty and hard-coded trick, but it works and reading this is more difficult than doing
    Bye

Create fast intenstiy histogram without Vision toolkit

I am trying to create an intensity histogram from an 8bit gray scale image that is being acquired from a USB camera. Using the drivers that camera that came with the camera I am able to get a 2D array of image data (1021 x 764). What I am doing is concatenate all the columns in the array to create a 1d array. I then use the general histogram function that is set to a max of 256, min of 0 and 100 bins. This approach takes approx. 5 secs. to complete. Attached is my approach.
Is there a better approach that would process much faster?
If I use the Vision functions to convert the image data to an IMAQ image and then using the IMAQ histograph function, it processes almost immediately. However I do not wish to use the Vision functions because I do not wish to pay for a Vision runtime license for each installation of my application.
Thanks
Terry.

Image Histogram.vi ‏14 KB

This is the simplest way to obtain a histogram. Is it fast enough?
That will give a 256-bin histogram, but I iust noticed that you want 100 bins for some reason. The easiest way to do that is to scale your image from 0-255 to 0-99 (multiply by 99/255) and do the same thing, something like this:

Multiple plots (different colours) on a single histogram?

I have a 2D array of data, and I would like to plot a histogram.
each row(with 8 elements) would be plotted in pairs, in 2 different colours.
My chart would have to look something like the attached image.
My vi is also attached. Right now it displays the plot (one row for now),but I have a few problems:
1) How to change the colour of each bar (to be like the excel graph)
2) how to change the bar plot label ( so instead numeric values 1,2,3,...I would like to have a,b,c,... under each bar)
3)and how to remove the (0,0) point on the graph, so you could see the first bar entirelyy, instead of partially.
I tried bundling the data , dynamic data, and a a bunch of other things but couldnt get it to work.
Thanks!!

display histogram- 2.vi ‏91 KB

You can create a histogram of each row by connecting the output of the General Histogram or Histogram VI's (in the Statistics Palette) to a Build Array. Connect the output of Build Array to a Histogram Graph. You can create a Histogram Graph by right clicking on the General Histogram or Histogram VI's Histogram Graph output terminal( Create>>Indicator). That should show you both histograms with different colors in one graph(they may be overlapping though, use the Bar Plots options to see what view is best). Unfortunately, I don't see how you could display it like the graph you posted, but you may create a button that controls a Histogram Graph by using Property Nodes. Right click on the Histogram Graph indicator in the Block Diagram(Create>>Property Node>>Plot>>Visible). If you connect a Boolean control to this property node and place that piece of code inside a while loop, you could turn your plots on and off. You can also create an Invoke Node(Right Click>>Create>>Invoke Node>>Export data to Excel) to Export data to Excel. Make sure you expand the Plot Legend on the upper right corner so you can see the second plot options.

Histogram Problem in JAI

Hi All, I am trying to use JAI to build a histogram of an image i have. I have posted the code below, and the error I get at runtime. I have taken the code from the offical java examples, so I am really puzzled why it doesn't work
public PlanarImage thresholding (PlanarImage source) {
// set up the histogram
int[] bins = { 256 };
double[] low = { 0.0D };
double[] high = { 256.0D };
     Histogram histogram = new Histogram(bins, low, high);
ParameterBlock pb2 = new ParameterBlock();
pb2.addSource(source);
pb2.add(histogram);
pb2.add(null);
pb2.add(1);
pb2.add(1);
RenderedOp op = JAI.create("histogram", pb2, null);
histogram = (Histogram) op.getProperty("histogram");
// get histogram contents
int[] local_array = new int[histogram.getNumBins(0)];
for ( int i = 0; i < histogram.getNumBins(0); i++ ) {
local_array[i] = histogram.getBinSize(0, i);
System.out.println("No Of Bins:- "+local_array) ;
ParameterBlock pb = new ParameterBlock();
     low[0] = 0.0F;
     high[0] = 106.0F;
pb.addSource(source);
pb.add(low);
pb.add(high);
pb.add(map);
target = JAI.create("threshold", pb, null);
display.set(target);
          return target ;

The code above provides the solution.
The histogram operation, like most other JAI operations, requires
a ParameterBlock as its argument. The parameterBlock contains the
arguments needed to perform the operation.
The histogram operation requires the ParameterBlock to contain the
arguments shown in the previous post (6 arguments). To obtain a
parameterBlock that contains the default arguments for the operation
you create ParameterBlockJAI with the operation name. This gives you
a ParameterBlock with the default arguments.
If you want to modify the arguments you call the methods on the
ParameterBlock(JAI) to set them.
you then use the utility methods supplied in the JAI class to create
the operation.
String operation = "Histogram";
ParameterBlockJAI paramBlock = new ParameterBlockJAI(operation);
// modify parameterblock here
RenderedOp op = JAI.create(operation,paramBlock);matfud

Bin at Batch LEVEL

Hello Experts,
We have bins that are set up at batch level ...we dont want this setting cos when we are running analysis it is giving a wrong value in one of the key figure....
can any one tell me is it cycle counting at batch level can we change it to storage location level please explain ...
EXample: we use an exception ...when ever the bin is empty it should trigger the exception but suppose there are 3 batches in the bin whenever you issue a batch it is trigerring the exception ...suppose if there are three issue it should trigger once but it triggers three times PLEASE HELP
Will award full points
Thanks
J

In general, the fixed bin strategy allows you to specify the bin to which a material will be placed during a putaway transaction (provided the concerned storage type has putaway strategy configured as F).
I understand your requirement is to place different batches into different bins ie the bin is determined depending on the batch.
While not possible in standard, you can try making use of an exit for this purpose. The exit MWMTO003 may be used in CMOD to develop your own putaway strategy. You will have to activate the exit (a checkbox) in the putaway control parameters in the storage type configuration.

Histogram PtByPt is very slow

I don't know why the General Histogram PtByPt.vi is so slow. Using an uninitialized shift register and the General Histogram.vi I can implement the same functionality that runs at least 50 times faster processing the same number of points. See my attached vi. I wonder why the developers of the PtByPt vi didn't just use this technique.

Hi ESD,
What VIs are you using to benchmark the code?
There are some differences in how both VIs are implemented. For example, the Pt by Pt VI calls SubVIs, which will incur some overhead. I am unsure why a different implementation is used.
This is probably a good point to mention the NI Idea Exchange (http://www.ni.com/ideas) and the Product Suggestion Center (http://digital.ni.com/applications/psc.nsf/default?openform) to suggest reimplementing the VI.

JE 5.0.55 and 4.1.21 available, critical fix for Database renaming

All,
I'd like to point out the critical bug fix that has to do with database renaming. This is fixed in JE 5.0.55 and JE 4.1.21. See below.
--mark
Berkeley DB Java Edition 5.0.55

Berkeley DB Java Edition 5.0.55 is a patch release consisting of fixes for a number of issues. We strongly recommend that users of the 5.0.x version upgrade to this release. These fixes include:
[#21537] Fixed a critical bug that causes a database to be entirely deleted after a crash (or abnormal shutdown, i.e., when not calling Environment.close). The bug occurs when the database is renamed just prior to the crash (or abnormal shutdown). This bug was introduced in JE 5.0.48.
[#21492] Fixed an inefficiency in the Checkpointer which manifests itself as a large amount of time being spent in com.sleepycat.je.recovery.DirtyINMap.removeNextNode() calling java.util.HashMap$HashIterator.remove() calling java.util.HashMap.removeEntryForKey().
[#21106] An enhancement has been made to DbVerify to show a histogram of BIN counts by utilization percentage.This is a sample of the output:

Thank you for your support of Berkeley DB Java Edition.

The format change is for BDB Java Edition 5.0 only, and does not apply to other BDB products. It's forward compatible, which means that a BDB JE application using JE 5.0 can use environments written with older versions of JE. However, it's not backwards compatible; once your environment has been opened by JE 5.0, it's been converted to the new format, and can no longer be readable by older versions of JE.
Just for the benefit of others who may not have read the changelog, here's the full text:
JE 5.0.34 has moved to on-disk file format 8.
The change is forward compatible in that JE files created with release 4.1 and earlier can be read when opened with JE 5.0.34. The change is not backward compatible in that files created with JE 5.0 cannot be read by earlier releases. Note that if an existing environment is opened read/write, a new log file is written by JE 5.0 and the environment can no longer be read by earlier releases.
There are two important notes about the file format change.
The file format change enabled significant improvements in the operation performance, memory and disk footprint, and concurrency of databases with duplicate keys. Environments which contain databases with duplicate keys must run an upgrade utility before opening an environment with this release. See the Performance section for more information.
An application which uses JE replication may not upgrade directly from JE 4.0 to JE 5.0. Instead, the upgrade must be done from JE 4.0 to JE 4.1 and then to JE 5.0. Applications already at JE 4.1 are not affected. Upgrade guidance can be found in the new chapter, "Upgrading a JE Replication Group", in the "Getting Started with BDB JE High Availability" guide.I may not have fully understood your question, so let us know if that doesn't answer it.

Installing oracle on redhat linux4.0

Hello sir,

# groupadd -g 1000 oinstall
the following error is coming
bash : group add : command not found
can u plz suggest me the above
Regards,

Looks like system binary file location is not in the PATH environment variable. In general, this system bin path is set in the PATH, but in your case, either might have missed out or might have unset the PATH variable.
Check the PATH environment variable.
$ echo $PATH
If the system binary file location is not set then set accordingly.
$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin/
$ echo $PATH
Otherwise, call the groupadd command from the location directly as below.
$/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 1000 oinstall

Script to find missing library references

When readline5 came out I decided to write a quick shell script to find any binary that references readline4. Then I generalized it:
#!/bin/bash
# 2004/08/22 K. Piche Find missing library references.
ifs=$IFS
IFS=':'
libdirs="/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/opt/gnome/lib:/opt/qt/lib:/opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-1.7:/opt/kde/lib"
extras=
# Check ELF binaries in the PATH and specified dir trees.
for tree in $PATH $libdirs $extras
do
echo DIR $tree
# Get list of files in tree.
files=$(find $tree -type f)
IFS=$ifs
for i in $files
do
if [ `file $i | grep -c 'ELF'` -ne 0 ]; then
# Is an ELF binary.
if [ `ldd $i 2>/dev/null | grep -c 'not found'` -ne 0 ]; then
# Missing lib.
echo "$i:"
ldd $i 2>/dev/null | grep 'not found'
fi
fi
done
done
exit
I successfully used it to find readline4 usage by guile and jack, and other older library references in other packages. Hope the devs or somebody finds it useful. And yeah it could pull the lib dirs from ld.so.conf or search the whole system but it is quick and dirty...
PS. Without the /dev/null redirects ldd reports tons of libraries without the exec bit set. Take it out if you want to see that stuff.

You are talking about unlocking. As Psychomania said above unlocking the phone ie the ability put any service providers SIM card in it does only that.
The phone will still have all the network logos and functions enabled or as the case may be disabled, the only thing that is different is that it will work with another networks SIM card in it.
Unlocking has no negative consequences.
The networks in the UK only charge around £15/€17 to unlock the handsets from them so why pay €30 for someone to illigitimately unlock it.

Problem with running Bash shell scripts

I am unable to run Bash shell scripts on the UNIX Terminal application.
This is the transcript from the Terminal application.
Zhi-Yang-Ongs-Computer:/Applications/MetaPost/metapost-1.102 zhiyangong$ ./test1.sh
dyld: Symbol not found: _BC
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/bash
Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
Trace/BPT trap
Zhi-Yang-Ongs-Computer:/Applications/MetaPost/metapost-1.102 zhiyangong$
Is this a problem with the the default installation of the Bash shell? Can I install the Bash shell on my own? If so, how can I do that?
Also, how can I get the dynamic linker, dyld, to refer to the symbol "_BC"? What does this symbol "_BC" refer to?

This was in your posted output:
/usr/local/bin/bash
You are NOT running the default bash, you are trying to run a private copy.
The default Mac OS X bash is located at
/bin/bash
Try the following:
/bin/bash ./test1.sh
Does that work?
What is the first line of your script? Is it:
#!/bin/bash
Or maybe
#!/usr/bin/env bash
/usr/bin/env would find the first bash in PATH . I find this most useful for finding perl on different systems, but sh, ksh, bash, zsh, csh, tcsh are all generally found in /bin so I do not bother using /usr/bin/env
And if you have
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
Then the person that wrote test1.sh choose to use something besides the default bash
Or maybe this script was transferred from some system where you needed to put your own copy of bash in /usr/local/bin because the vendor does not distribute bash
Then again, you have not showed us what is inside your script, so it is possible something in the script called something else which invoked the /usr/local/bin/bash
If that is the case, then you might try:
/bin/bash -x ./test1.sh
which should show you the commands executed before it died.
