Help! To design a counter for counting clocks

Dear all,
I want to design a counter that count all clocks of a square wave. I have tried but I am getting stuck somewhere. Here's attached the file that I started. In this project, my objective is to use NI-USB-6008 to send a square wave to an external oscilloscope. That square wave has to be self-controlled such that nth first clocks have a certain frequency different to the next (n+1, .....,m) clocks. As part of that, I need to use a counter that I designed myself.
Actually, I have the C++ codes for that:
int count=0;
if(result==1)
count++;
This is just the section that I want

Hello,
I am a bit confused about your application, are you trying to count (input) clock edges or generate a clock signal with your 6008. If you want to count digital edges with the USB-6008 you can use the counter on the 6008 to count these edges; an example in the example finder exists already and can be found in the location shown below. If you want to generate this varying clock signal, it will be difficult with a USB-6008 since it software timed and updates to the digital line will depend on the updates over the USB bus. If you can clarify your application a bit, I may be able to make some suggestions.

Which designer is responsible for the "clock" icon?

Who chose the time on the icon 10:15 ? contingency? couldn't find out till now, hope you guys can help me please

Clocks and watches in catalogues and ads have long displayed 10:10 as the time.
This was possibly done to help frame the manufactures logo or name and lead the eye there.
Perhaps the 10:15 is just a variation on this and helps the icon immediatly resemble a clock face that people are accustom to seeing.

Using an external reference clock for counter measurements

Hi all,
I have several PXI chassis
configured for testing, each of which uses an NI-DAQ-6221 for
conducting period and frequency measurements among other things.
However each of my setups give me a slightly different reading when conducting identical measurements due to
the tolerance of the DAQ on board reference
clocks.
The chassis' have a 10MHz GPS calibrated reference fed into them via the reference input and this is connected to the backplane. I have tried and failed to try to route and use this as my reference
base for my counter measurements so that each of my cards will give me
the same reading every time. I have tried the routing method using the
DAQ connect terminals vi but could not get this to work. I have looked through the labview examples and cant find anything thta shows me what i need to do to take frequency and period measurments using my external reference as my base clock. There are some examples showing the use of the DAQmx timing vi set to sample clock mode which allows a clock source to be selected. However these examples are only for counting digital events and when i apply the same vi to a frequency or period measurement an error is thrown saying 'invalid timing type for this channel', 'you can select: implicit, on demand'.
I do not
understand the working of the DAQ hardware very well so was hoping
someone could help explain to me how to do this if it is even possible
or give me any guidance as to how else to overcome my problem. Any vis
showing how to use my external 10MHz reference
as the base clock for these kind of measurements would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Dan

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the reply. When trying to use the connect terminals i just tried connecting the PXI10 to the onboard clock in the hope that this would configure it to use the PXI10 signal to synchronise the onboard clocks via the PLL. Doing this didn't throw any errors as i recall, it just gave me a reading of infinity as it couldn't measure the signal.
I have actually just managed to successfully do what i wanted thanks to help from Rob at NI tech support UK. There is a DAQmx timing property node which allows you to choose a reference clock source. By using the PXI_Clk10 signal this makes the DAQ synchronise its reference clocks to this signal. I have included an image of the code i used to achieve this to take period measurements.
Here is a very useful link which Rob sent me which may be of help to anyone else with similar problems

Help in finding the total count for each month

Hello everyone,
Sometime back I had posted about the date function. I have that problem solved now my problem is that after finding all records which against each record I need to find the total count for that month if no records than I have to set it to a 0.
Here is how my program has been written.
PROCEDURE extract_materials
IS
CURSOR xyz
BEGIN
FOR xyz1 IN xyz LOOP
-- once inside the loop for each of the record from
the cursor I need to find a total count for that record for everymonth in the year.
All these records will be instered in to a staging table
Can you please help me out with this. I really appreciate this.
Thanks in advance.
-Vani

Andrew - you missed the tricky bit of the spec - include missing months with a zero.
You need to do an outer join to a select from any big table with a function involving rownum and add_months to generate all the possible months. However, its time to go home and I can't be bothered to work out the finer details.

Need help on Sql command for count

Hi,
I have the following table.
Temp_Set Table
ID Names Action
1 John Delete
2 John Add
3 Mary Update
4 Sim Add
5 Sim Update
How do I do a SELECT sql command for count(names) > 1 ?
Please kindly advise me. Thank you very much.

It doesnt work when I do this
SELECT * FROM Temp_Set
HAVING Count(names) > 1
It prompts me the following error:
ORA-00937: not a single-group group function
00937.00000 - "not a single-group group function"
*Cause:
*Action:
Error at Line:16 Column:7i am not sure but you can try this:
SELECT B.* FROM
(SELECT NAMES, COUNT(1) CNT FROM TEMP_SET GROUP BY NAMES) A, TEMP_SET B
WHERE A.NAMES = B.NAME
AND CNT > 1

Need to use quadrature encoder to trigger (RTSI) single point DAQ on 2 channels of E-Series DAQ, using 6602 NI-TIO for counting encoder pulses.

This is for LV6i, W2000, all PCI equipment.
Using a quadrature-measure position-VI, I get 7200 edges/rev from the encoder of my physical system. This equates to 0.05 degrees of angular displacement. This amounts to an angle stamp as opposed to a time stamp.
I need each of these 7200 edges (source: 6602 NI-TIO) to trigger (using RTSI) the acquisition of a single sample from each of 2 channels on an E-Series DAQ board (maybe more channels later). I only need/want one rev (7200 samples per channel) of data for each run of the test. As I write this I think I want pre-triggering and a little more than a rev of data. So the
re is a buffering step. Anyway, you can get the idea.
I need this angle stamp and the DAQ samples to be placed in an array and on the hard drive for graphing and other mathematical treatment, analysis, etc.
I think there must be a way to use the quadrature output of the counter/timer as a scan clock for the DAQ board, but I haven't seen an example to guide me.
It seems like all of the RTSI or other triggering examples I have seen trigger once to start a continuous scan, not a series of discrete samples repeated quickly. I am not sure how to fill an array with this data. Again, examples are for continuous sampling, not a series of discrete readings.
Any hints on any part of this task will greatly appreciated. This is my first LV project.

Sounds like a fairly ambitious first project!
I assume your 7200 edges/rev come from an encoder with 2 channels in quadrature which each provide 1800 cycles/rev. You can clock in analog data at 1800 scans/rev with either of the two encoder channels, but will probably need an external quadrature decoder circuit to produce 7200 scans/rev. Either method can be done with screwdriver and wire or else by using another counter from the 6602 and the RTSI bus. Here are two approaches in detail, but you could mix-and-match as needed.
Note also that if you can be sure that your reference encoder will be uni-directional, you wouldn't need to measure position -- position could be determined by the array index of the analog scan data. This would simplify things greatly.
1800 scans/rev, screwdriver & wire
Wire both encoder channels to your 6602 breakout box and configure your counter for the 4x quadrature option. Send a wire from one of the encoder channel connections at your 6602 breakout box to a PFI pin at your E-series board breakout box. Config the analog acquisition to use an external scan clock and specify the correct PFI pin -- there are built-in examples that will guide you. Now one edge of one encoder channel acts as a scan clock for your analog acquisition. Inside the 6602 breakout box, route the same signal to one of the default gate pins and configure your encoder counter gate to use that pin as its gate signal. Note that there will be a race condition governing whether the encoder value updates from the encoder inputs before or after the value is latched by the gate.
7200 scans/rev, extra counter & RTSI
Make sure you have a RTSI connector between your two acquisition boards inside your PC. Build a quadrature decoder circuit that will convert your two encoder channels into a clock and direction output. (Consider the LSI 7084 decoder chip or similar). Setup your "encoder" counter for buffered position measurement. Use "Counter Set Attribute" to define "up down" as "digital" (don't use it to define "encoder type"). The clock output goes to the counter SOURCE and the direction output goes to the counter UP_DOWN pin.
Use "Adjacent Counters.vi" to identify the counter considered adjacent to your encoder counter. Configure it for "retriggerable pulse generation". Use "Counter Gate (NI-TIO).vi" to specify "other counter source" as the gating signal. Configure the output pulse specs to be short duration (make sure total of delay + pulse width is less than the minimum period of the incoming encoder clock signals). Use "Route Signal.vi" to send this counter's output onto the RTSI bus, say RTSI 0.
Now configure the analog acq. to use RTSI 0 as its external scan clock. Also configure the encoder counter to use RTSI 0 as its gate signal. Voila! Now your quadrature decoder clock output acts as a scan clock for analog acquisition and a "gate" to buffer your encoder measurement. The short delay helps ensure that the clock updates the position measurement before the gate fires to latch the value.
Respond if you need clearer explanation. There's a fair amount of decent info "out there" if you scour the online help and this website. Good luck!

Get the Count for each row

I'm trying to get the count for each row to total count for each month
Something like this
Hardware | Jan
Monitors | 5
Processors | 137
Printers | 57
etc........
How can I write a query for this. I can get the Hardware column but don't know how to get the next column.

If you can provide more data like sample input DML statements it would have been wonderful..
Assuming is , you need a pivot. Here is an article on basic Pivot..
http://sqlsaga.com/sql-server/how-to-use-pivot-to-transform-rows-into-columns-in-sql-server/
something like this may be..
DECLARE @Input TABLE
Hardware VARCHAR(20),
[Date] VARCHAR(20)
INSERT INTO @Input VALUES('Monitor', '01/01/2014'), ('CPU', '01/01/2014'), ('Monitor', '01/03/2014')
, ('ABC', '01/01/2014'),('Monitor', '02/01/2014')
;WITH CTE AS
SELECT Hardware, LEFT(DATENAME(M, [Date]),3) AS [MonthName] FROM @Input
SELECT *
FROM
SELECT Hardware, [MonthName], COUNT(Hardware) AS Count FROM CTE GROUP BY Hardware, [MonthName]) a
PIVOT (MAX([Count]) FOR [MonthName] IN ([Jan], [Feb])) pvt

How to get row count(*) for each table that matches a pattern

I have the following query that returns all tables that match a pattern (tablename_ and then 4 digits). I also want to return the row counts for these tables.
Currently a single column is returned: tablename. I want to add the column RowCount.
DECLARE @SQLCommand nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @TableName varchar(128)
SET @TableName = 'ods_TTstat_master' --<<<<<< change this to a table name
SET @SQLCommand = 'SELECT [name] as zhistTables FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE name like ''%' + @TableName + '%'' and objectproperty(id,N''IsUserTable'')=1 ORDER BY name DESC'
EXEC sp_executesql @SQLCommand

The like operator requires a string operand.

Example:
DECLARE @Like varchar(50) = '%frame%';
SELECT * FROM Production.Product WHERE Name like @Like;

Hi Gorge,
The "Ref count error..." usually occurs in case of Meta Data objects not being properly cleared. And yes, you have got the error in the right place, generally while creating tables / fields / UDOs. For this, you just need to clear the Meta Data object (At times even DI objects like Record Set) once they are used.
Eg: Release these objects in the below way in a Finally Block.
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oRecordSet);
Hope this helps.

1st gen ipod Shuffle not updating play count for songs

I've noticed since I updated to the iTunes version 7.2.035 that plugging in and updating the library with my iPod shuffle no longer updates the play count for the songs I've listened to. Is there a known fix for this? Anyone else experiencing the same problem with their 1st gen ipod shuffle (512)?

Well, I have that problem too. My shuffle holds about 125 songs or so, yet I've noticed there are always a good 20 or so songs that won't play, no matter how many times I load them onto the device. I have had that problem since I inherited it from a friend.
My new problem is that every time I plug my iPod into iTunes, it no longer updates the playcount for songs. In other words, if I load a song that I've heard 3 times, hear it twice during the day, and replug in my iPod at night, it used to update that song's playcount in the library to 5, but now they still read 3. It's also failing to update the "date last played" field.
I use those to help make sure that I don't load the same songs over and over again by creating a custom playlist that will comb out songs played in the last few days and have a very high play count. Since these are no longer updating, I've noticed that I keep arriving at work only to find my iPod has the same or similar songs as the day before, and dude, if I wanted that, I'd listen to the radio!

I need Java code for a simple graphical hit counter for a webpage

I was wondering if anybody out there could send me some code for a simple graphical hit counter for a webpage. All the sites that I've visited are garbage and of no use to me. Please help me.
Colin

Not as easy as you'd imagine with applets. You need some way to store the hits, usually through a file on the server. That's not gonna happen in a hurry for 2 reasons -
- Applets can't read/write files
- Your web server usually won't let you run programs on their machine (ie, programs that listen for socket connections from applets, then load/read/write/close a file).
In short, no, there is no simple java solution (that I know of).

Message retry count for the message has been exhausted

Hi,
I am using 'Custom Document Over Internet' with HTTPS as transport protocol. I have set the acknowledgement mode to Sync in order to receive the synchronous response. B2B is able to post the HTTP request successfully and in turn it receives a synchronous response and a MDN message. At the initial stage, after posting the request it shows the state as 'WaitForAck' for request message and for response and MDN messages, the state is completed.
After some time when we check the state of request it is changed to 'Error' with the error message as 'Message retry count for the message has been exhausted'. We have not set the retry count and retry interval and so after retrying for 3 times with an interval of 120 minutes it is showing error state as it is not able to correlate the incoming response to the corresspoding request. We have tried the option of setting the Message id of the request in 'replyToMsgID' parameter of response header and tested the flow. But still I am facing te same issue. Please help me to resolve this issue.

Hi Anuj,
The property mentioned by NandaGopal has already been added in tip.properties file. I sent the B2B logs in debug mode and tip.properties file to your mail id. Please have a look into that. The result of opatch lsinventory command is

Hit Count for a KM Folder

Hi,
Is there any way we can track the hit count for a particular folder in KM?
Is there any particular default event where we can listen for this?
Helps will be appreciated...
Regards
BP

Hi BP
This is the most recent information om KM statistics by Thilo Brandt:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7d28a67b-0c01-0010-8d9a-d7e6811377c0
I don't know if it is possible, but I'd guess it's possible to alter that code in order to get some statistics on folder-level as well as item-level.
Kind regards,
Martin Søgaard
