Generating sync and PCLK signals for a sony XC-55 camera?

Hello, we have a Sony XC-55 camera connected to a PCI-1408 board that we would like to use in asynchronous mode to capture images. I know that it is possible to use the camera for this purpose because there is a document on how to do this with a 1409 card.
We also have a PCI-MIO-16E-4 board that we have connected to a shaft encoder. We want to trigger the camera when the shaft encoder is at certain positions. This shaft encoder will be connected to the 8 digital lines on the MIO board.
Is there any way I could use the MIO board to generate the required HSYNC, VSYNC, and PCLK signals? I'm thinking about using the PFI signals, but I don't know how to generate the required PCLK signal.

As you may have noticed, the 1408 does not have the same pulse generation capabilities as the 1409. You cannot use IMAQ Generate Pulse with the 1408 to get the required HSync, VSync, and shutter signals. You could use the counters on the MIO board to generate two of the signals, but not all three. It might be possible to operate the camera in internal HD mode and just provide the VSync and shutter. One of the 660x counter boards could generate all of the signals, however you would probably be better off just using a 1409. PCLK is generated internally by the camera and does not need to be provided by the board.
Are you using an absolute encoder in your system? You can read an absolute encoder with the DIO lines on the MIO board, however you will have to conti
nuously poll the lines to find out when you have reached the desired positions and then output a pulse. This operation will be software timed, so there will be some latency. If you have an incremental encoder, you could connect it as the source to one of the counters and output trigger pulses at precicely defined intervals.

I just got my new i phone 5 s and did all the syncing and backing up for my old iphone 4s and set my 5 up and synced it on itunes. It synced evrything but the contacts and other minor things. those were the only things that really transfered. My apps and all my music did not. Tthe thing is when i just went to go manually start dowmloading a few of the songs that i knew i already bought , itunes is making me pay forthem again. Its not saying instal like it usuall does when you go download something aleady purchased on your itunes account. I think or thought it might have something to do with the fact that i just changed my apple id name right before i got my new phine but my apps all re-downloaded (manually-no syncing) without making me pay for them again. i dont want to have to purchase allllll my songs again. Can someone please help me!! Itried going back to my old id or signing out of this id and signing in as my old apple id but now it wot even get on that oneits likjeit doesnt exist anymore.. And when i plug my old phone it shows in the itunes everything thats supposed to be there but all that doesnt stay in the itunes when i actually un plug it so when i plug my 5 in to my computer none of the stuff is in the store for me to actually transfer it I am so good with technology and this has me stumped please help

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

Whenever I try to sync my ipod, it'll say that it's syncing and then "waiting for changes to be applied" when it reaches step 5, then it closes and nothing happens. I don't know what to do :(

Hi, There
What do you mean nothing happends? because after step 5/5 the sync is complete and it should go back to the normal top screen of itunes. Is this what is happning? of is it freezing on step 5?

Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

12VDC for Limit and Home Signals for PCI 7334 using UMI-7764

Can 12VDC be used for Limit and Home Signals for PCI 7334 using UMI-7764.
Can the UMI 7764 be damaged if over voltage is supplied to it. If so can it be repaired or it has to replaced.

Specifications for the Limit Switchs (home, forward, reverse, etc) is
determined by the specifications of your NI motion controller PCI
board. The UMI functions only as a pass through and breakout for the
board .
The valid limit swich voltage for the PCI-7334 is 0 - 5 V. You will have to divide down a 12 V input before running it to
the UMI and to your board. The 3.3k pull up resistor is only used to
pull floating voltages to TTL levels and does not protect for high
voltage signals.
Please note that the UMI-7774 provides optical isolation for limit switches and extended input levels (e. g. limit switch voltages: On = 3.5 to 30 V, Off = 0 to 2 V).

Please note that the autocode user's guide for matrixx7 indicates that these wrappers are generated when -procs is specified.
-procs: Sets the template parameter procs_only_b as True, and default template only generates Procedure SuperBlocks and generates UCBsand subsystem wrappers for each of these procedures.
Is ther a way to create the same behavior under matrixx7 when -procs option is used?
Thanks

Hello,
These wrappers were separated into different templates. What you would need to do is to run the templates that you need. You can find these templates in the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MATRIXx\mx_71.4\case\ACC\templates folder.
Hope this helps.

Can i have sync and async listeners for the same queue ?

Hello,
I am a novice in JMS. Wondering experts over here could throw in some light !
Can I set both synchronous and asynchronous listeners for a perticular queue.
eg: pseudo code.
status; // default to start
run()
setListener(Q1); // listener sets status to stop
while(1)
waitForUserPrompt(value1);
switch(value1)
a: fun1();
break;
b: fun2();
break;
fun1()
while(status != stop)
stay in loop.
fun2()
// synchronously wait for "stop"
receive(Q1);
// wait and do following important code!
}

Hi,
I don't know in Chrome, but in Safari (pc or mac) you can open icloud.com twice on two different tab or windows and open one with contact and the other in Mail without messing up. What kind of mess to do you experience?
There is no other options to do what you want to do. You need to click on the little top cloud to switch from one to another.
Beside, I don't understand why even 2 open tab would help more than having to switch via the cloud icon. I may need to cut/paste some info from contact or calendar from time to time, but switch via the cloud icon is not really painfull.

Parts for a sony cyber-shot camera

How do I get a part for my camera? When I used it the last time the corner piece for the back of the top of the camera under one selector button and over the dial fell off. No one seems to have a part number or any idea how to get this little piece. My camera still works perfectly, but I don't want to use it just in case until I replace the plastic piece that fell off. PLEASE HELP!!!!

How to get a part for your SONY camera... find one on Ebay and buy it from there. It would have cost me atleast $80.00 to get a cosmetic piece replaced. I just won my bid on Ebay and I paid $19.50 for a whole camera!!!!!!! I am done buying Sony items. They used to be the best, now they know they have to much competetion and their getting out of a lot of the games. First my amazing Vaio computer they no longer make or service, now they don't even sell their own parts for their products. You have to go thru one of three of their distributors or find parts on your own. See ya SONY...

One of my apps is "waiting" for an update. Its been "waiting" for 4 days. It wont delete (so I can re load it). Sadly its not in i tunes as I put it on after the last sync and it wont for some reason sync either. Any ideas?

One of my apps (actually on my daughters i phone 5) has been "waiting for 4 days to update. Rebooting doesnt cure it nor does trying to delete it - it wont delete. I have looked at her i tunes account but she hasnt sync that for ages and the actual app isnt in i tunes but just on the phone. For some reason the syncing isnt working either in realtion to this app. There is adeqaute memory - good strong wifi signal. Any ideas??

Download the app on iTunes under her account (you've already paid - you won't have to again), then sync the app across to the phone that way and it should clear it up.
It's possible the app is too large to do over the air and it started on wifi but wasn't able to continue and got corrupted.

How to generate BPSK and QPSK signals with Labview and ARBS?

Has anyone used Labview to program a Wavetek 75 or equiv Arbitrary Waveform Generator to produce BPSK and/or QPSK signals.

You can use Modulation Toolkit 2.0 for LabVIEW to generate PSK signals (including BPSK and QPSK) using common PSK configuration parameters.
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?lang=US&cid=12855
You can use resampling tools present in Modulation Toolkit if you need to resample the generated data to a different sample rate for your third party AWG.
In addition, Modulation Toolkit integrates seamlessly with NI's high-speed signal sources, including the NI 5421 for PXI:

Generating 0 and 1 signal using labview Daq card

Hello,
I’m working on a Project on the On/Off control of a pneumatic cylinder via a 5/2 solenoid valve.
On State: Valve O/P 1 pushes cylinder İ/P 1
                Value O/P vents air.
Off State: Valve O/P 2 pushes cylinder İ/P 2
                   Value O/P 1 vents air.
By this way we aim to move the clinder forward and back.
We use Labview 9.0. I did not work on pneumatic system before,
I will be happy if you could help me about 2 points.
1)      How can we enable the On/Off switching between the 2 O/P’s of the solenoid ?
2)      How can we enable the timing between On and Off States. ( On: 0-5 seconds Off: 0-5 seconds )
Do we need special code for Standard labview blocks will be OK ?
Thanks a lot.

The digital out are a great place to start, however they are signal lines which means they don't drive a lot of current (~1mA). If your device isn't setup to accept digital signals you may have to use an external transistor to step up your amperage. See the link on here to get started
Labview can provide all the timing you need. I would search through the shipping examples (Help >> Find Examples) for digital output examples, there should be a bunch and one will probably work for you with just a little modification.

Just synced and updated os for ipod touch 5th gen and have lost game data - restore won't get it back, is there anyway to retrieve?

Have new ipod touch and successfully transferred game data from old ipod touch, but today have updated to the new os (from 6.1.2 to 6.1.3) and now have lost game progress on several apps.
Have tried to restore the backup but it doesn't bring back the game data
Is there anything I can do to find this data or is it gone for good?

If restoring from backup did not work then there is nothing else you can do. Did you try both from iTunes backup and iCloud backup? If you restore from iTunes backup you have to have the apps in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup.

Generating carrier and modulating signal

Hi there, Currently I only know how to generate a signal using the basic function generator function in LabVIEW, but may I know how to generate a carrier and get a modulating signal using LabVIEW?

Hey,
Maybe the following example of an FM Frequency Generator out of devzone can give you some hints: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3001

I am having the same problem. Did you ever get this resolved?

I need a driver that will work for my Sony DSC-S50 camera, I took my Mini to the Mac store to eject two CD's stuck. Now my camera will not download to iPhoto like it did before.

I had to take my Mini to the Mac store to retrieve a disc stuck in the drive now my camera will not download into iPhoto. I have a Sony Driver Disc,but when I try to open the disc I get a error message "Classic environment is no longer supported". I have OSX 10.6.7 what has changed?

I'm sorry, but there is no 10.7.5 - do you mean 10.4.x or 10.5.x or 10.6.x?
I asked because 10.6. (which you have now) no longer supports the classic environment, but previous OS's did. So, if the store "upgraded" you to the latest OS when you had it in for repair, then that would be the reason. So, if you can't remember which OS version was on it, I would call or go to the store and ask if they changed the OS version. Now, I'm not sure what a Sony Driver Disc is - do you mean it's the software that came with your camera? Depending on the format of your camera cards, you should be able to use a USB card reader instead which might be easier to deal with.
