Help: system design using NI cRIO-9004, chassis cRIO-9104; modules: NI cRIO-9411, -9221, NI 9472

We have NI CompactRIO Real-Time Controller: NI cRIO-9004, chassis: cRIO-9104; and modules: NI cRIO-9411, -9221,  NI 9472. We also have different motors, helicopters, etc. equipments in our lab. Can anyone here give any advices that how to make use of these NI equipments to design a control/measure system? Or give me some detailed examples using these equipments? 

Hi Jahy,
Your question is somewhat vague, are you looking to do something specific with your application? A good place to start is by opening LabVIEW then in the toolbar go to the Help menu > Find Examples which brings up the NI Example Finder. The Example Finder has all of our example programs; these examples are great ways to start designing your application. If you provide a more detailed description of what you would like to accomplish with your application I would be happy to point you toward an example that is relevant.

  • Combining APEX help with a frame-like TOC html help system (I used DITA)

    Problem:
    The APEX page-oriented help system is bad at helping users find how to do something. I prefer to use a task-oriented help system for that, with a table of contents that users can browse around in. I like the DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) system's topic based help with its ideas of tasks, concepts and references. But, I also like the context-based feel of a page-based help system and the way that the APEX help system automatically aggregates all of the item-based help on a page for you.
    My Solution:
    I'm no html genius, so this may be totally wrong, but what I did was to create a task oriented html user guide that also included a page based help TOC entry for each page. I then used iframes in the APEX help page to allow me to have a TOC always showing with links that controlled a content "pane," but still also display the automatically-generated item help for the page help is called from.
    * Downloaded the DITA open toolkit (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dita-ot ), full package distribution and installed using the user guide (http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/doc/ot-userguide131/xhtml/ )
    * Downloaded and installed XMLmind XML editor free personal edition version ([http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/download.shtml]). I'm not endorsing this thing, but it's free and it works great out of the box for editing DITA files.
    * Created an html user guide by modifying the garage sample that's included with the DITA open toolkit and publishing to xhtml (I also published to pdf2, by the way, to provide a printable user guide for my users to download...one of the nice things about DITA). I set up my files so that they would all be in a topics subfolder, rather than the standard task, concept, and reference folders of the example. I did this so that I wouldn't have to worry about linking to a different folder from APEX (more on that later). I made a concept topic for each page of my application with the filename "Concept_About_page_X.dita," where X is the APEX page number.
    * I run APEX using Oracle Application Server 10g, so I uploaded the files to a subdirectory of their own in the i/ folder on the OAS server. In my case this was APPSERVER_HOME/apache/apache/images/doc/MyAppHelp/
    * The DITA toolkit generates html pages that look for a CSS called commonltr.css, located at the same level as the index.html file. I copied my APEX theme's CSS file to that same place and renamed it commonltr.css (in my case that was APPSERVER_HOME/apache/apache/images/themes/theme_13/theme_V3.css). Now, the proper thing to do would be to configure DITA to point at the real location of the theme's CSS, I guess. But I didn't want to figure out how to do that at this point.
    * Now, in APEX, I deleted all of the page-level help text from my pages, since I had now duplicated this information into the DITA page concept topics. Instead, on each page I put
    * On the help page (the page that you create when you're first setting up Help in APEX, mine is page 50), I added the following iframe tags in the header text of the page: \\      <iframe src="../../i/doc/gradevalhelp/index.html" width="40%" height="50%" align="left"></iframe><iframe name="contentwin" src="../../i/doc/gradevalhelp/topics/Concept_About_page_&REQUEST..html" width="60%" height="50%" align="right"></iframe><br> \\      Note the <br> at the end. I had to put that in to prevent the item level help from printing over my content iframe. Again, someone who knows something about html could probably tell you the right way to do that. The DITA toolkit generates a base tag (<base target="contentwin"/>) in the head section of the index.html file, to make the target of the TOC links be the content frame. Notice how I use it to map the links in the first iframe to the second iframe on the APEX help page, by naming the second frame "contentwin". Notice how the &REQUEST. Substitution string is used to present the proper DITA html file. I also tried setting it up to use a calculated hidden item that looks up the page alias for the requesting page; this had the advantage of allowing me to name my DITA files using page alias instead of page number, but it was too slow.

    Look at all the apdiv's you have.  Those are absolutely positioned layers.  I'm assuming by your post that you are very new to Dreamweaver and HTML and CSS.  I would highly recommend not using absolutely positioned layers until you have a better grasp on HTML and CSS.
    Looking at your code I would suggest that you consider using one of Dreamweaver's built in, or downloadable templates as a starting point and work from there.

  • Vision system design using 2 Basler line scan cameras

    I would like to use 2 Basler line scan cameras (models L100 or L200) that I checked on the NI site as being approved. I would like to know how to acquire image data from 2 cameras at the same time and log this to the computer database.This is a high speed web application.

    Jack,
    You shouldn't have any problem. You will need to use two PCI-1422 or PCI-1424 cards, since each card can only handle a single camera. You can use the RTSI bus to synchronize the two cameras. You will probably need an encoder for timing signals.
    I am not sure what information you want to log to a database. If you are planning on storing the images, it could slow down your system, depending on the size of the images.

  • Is InDesign or Dreamweaver useful for creating a Help system

    Hi,
    I have the full Adobe Creative Suite and I'm looking to create a Help system. Is Dreamweaver an appropriate tool for this, or is there another tool that would be better? I don't have Robohelp. I realize that's probably a better tool. Or would anyone recommend using the XML that is available with InDesign?
    Robyn

    Hi Robyn
    Robohelp and most of the other help systems would be like splitting a nut with a sledgehammer, for what you describe.
    You are basically talking about a search system on specific topics, for which Dreamweaver is an adequate tool, it may be worth while incorporating one of the 'smaller' open source help system into your site, in order to achieve your goal.
    Your comment on posting to the 'indesign' forum is understandable but not recommenced (there is a great difference between dtp (classic graphic design) and web design / development), especially if you intend to incorporate your current 'user guide' into a web site. Any help system both for a program that you install on your computer or supply as a web site 'help' system can be constructed as a searchable html page (many are html pages now), and you can even use the a major search engine to do this for you, (providing you know how, of course). It is even possible to search pdf's, flash and audio, and provide then as a downloadable / online version as well if you so require.
    The one thing you did not say in your reply was how good your programming skills are, (if not very good, do you have someone who can do this for you), as this is what will limit your help / search system. But even here if you incorporate one of the search engines own search api into a basic web page they will index and search your site for you, both as a local search, and as a web search.
    Hope this helps, in some way.

    i want to change my password but the system is not sending me message to reset my password. pls help someone is using my password without my permission and i want to change my password.

    If you are talking about your Apple ID password, make sure it IS your apple ID.
    In the past 24 hours, I have received two emails "How to reset your Apple ID password". I  had not requested any change and I finally realized someone else is trying to reset the password. I have had this Apple ID since 2009 so I am not using someone else's ID.
    Again, if you are not receiving the email to reset make sure you have the right ID - it might be going to the email linked to the account, and it might not be yours.

  • Using RHelp 9 - Compiled Help system missing book images on left pane? Any ideas on how to correct?

    Using RHelp 9 - Compiled Help system missing book images on left pane? Any ideas on how to correct?

    Hi there
    Colum seems to be making an assumption that you are producing Microsoft HTML Help, as the option he mentions only applies to the world of compiled CHM files.
    But this question was posted in the WebHelp forum category, so one might assume that you are producing WebHelp output.
    So the question we ask here is this:
    What *IS* the output type you are creating? WebHelp? Microsoft HTML Help? FlashHelp?

  • Alternative to DMA transfers from Host to FPGA in cRIO 9004

    Hi,
    We are using a cRIO 9004 + 9104 FPGA Chassis + 8x NI 9505 modules to replace an 8 axis Scorbot educational robot controller by a cRIO, but we found some troubles:
    - We are using FPGA IPs for Encoder reading, PWM signal generation and PID control, for the 8 axis. This is done using 3 SCTLs for each axis: one SCTL for encoder reading, one for PWM generation and one for NI Softmotion Splines and PID position control.
    The FPGA VI is successfully deployed.
    - We are using the NI Soft motion in the Real Time controller for trajectory generation and user interface. We are not using another VI on the Windows PC for user interface, just the Real Time processor.
    Here we get the R-T error -63001 (NI RIO FPGA Communications) when deploy the Real Time VI. It seems that our controller doesn't support DMA transfers from the Host to the FPGA.
    Questions:
    - If we cannot use DMA transfers from Host to FPGA, is there any other way to communicate the Host to the FPGA avoiding the R-T error -63001?
    - Is a good idea to use indexed IPs to reduce the amount of SCTLs in the FPGA to just 3 (instead of 24 SCTLs)?
    - Do you have any suggestion?
    Regards,
    Manuel

    Hey there.
    Indeed cRIO 900x series does not support DMA transfers from the Host to the FPGA; that is the reason you are getting an error 63001.
    However it does support data transfer from the FPGA to the Host You can find that information in this KB.
    To transfer information from the host to the rt and to the fpga you can use:
    Host <--> RT
    Network shared variables
    TCP
    UDP
    Data socket
    RT --> FPGA
    Front panel communication
    FPGA -->RT
    User defined variables
    Direct memory access
    DMA FIFOs
    I added some links with examples of each type of communication
    Hope this info helps
    Good luck

  • How to configure cRIO 9004 and link it with Labview?

    Today i tried to connect the cRIO 9004 to my pc using the serial cable
    but unfortunately the controller was not detecting on my pc. Then I
    turned on the IP reset button and tried connecting it using LAN to get
    an IP address but it also didn't work. I was looking for drivers on the
    internet and NI website but I couldn't find any directly related ones.
    Status light is blinking slowly and continuously(one flash every
    couple of seconds). According to cRIO 9004 manual it indicates "That the
    controller is unconfigured. Use MAX to configure the controller.
    Refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for information
    about configuring the controller".
    I tried MAX but its still not detecting the controller to configure.
    It would be great if you'll could help me out with this as I'm configuring this type of a controller for the first time.
    Thanks and regards
    Kavin

    Hey,
    First of all get sure that you have LV RT and FPGA as well as the NI RIO driver installed at your system.
    Then the easiest way would be to use a crossover ethernet cable to directly connect the cRIO to your PC.
    Give the PC a static IP Adress e.g. 100.100.100.100. Deactivate Firewall and Virus Scanners.
    Reboot the cRIO with IP Reset Switch ON, then it should appear in MAX under Network Devices with IP 0.0.0.0.
    Give the cRIO also a static IP like 100.100.100.111, set IP Reset switch to OFF before saving this settings.
    Now you can install the software at your cRIO also via MAX.
    Then you should be able to find it in LabVIEW by right-clicking "Project UntitledX" and "Add Targets and Devices".
    There should be different tutorials online how to configure a cRIO or other Realtime targets.

  • 'Change your password' error when log to designer using SAP Authentication

    Hi All,
    Here is the scenario. I want to create a universe on BW.
    1. I try to log into designer using SAP authentication (by choosing SAP as the authentication option)
    2. In the system name its the name of the CMS
    3. The username and password that I entered were for my SAP system. (Yes, my SAP role is already present in CMC)
    4. After I entered, I got a message saying ' You must change your password to continue. If you do not change your password, your account might get disabled'.
    5. I am prompted with dialogue box to change my password.
    6. After I enter a new password (fairly complicated), it gives an error Failed to change password/ Details : [repo_proxy 15]. Sessionfacade:: changePassword - User password has not been updated (Incorrect password).
    I know that's not the case because I am able to log into SAP GUI and into CMC using my SAP credentials.
    Any advice please ? Why is this happening in designer ?

    Hi,
    Your issue may be fixed in FP1.8 with the following reference:
    ADAPT01229385
    Description:
    +If an Enterprise alias is created for a SAP user accounts in the Central Management Console (CMC), and set to change their+
    +passwords at the next log on, the SAP users may be unable to log on to applications with their SAP credentials.+
    +This problem happens even after the Enterprise alias is removed from the SAP user accounts in the CMC.+
    I hope this helps.
