How can I change the speed of a stepper motor?

HSI bipolar Linear Actuator Size14, HSI Chopper Driver 40105, NI PCI-6052E, NI SC-2345, 2 SCC-DO01 modules, and SCC-FT01
The motor works at one speed with a boolean array input, using the SCC-DO01. But I need to be able to change the speed of the motor. Specifically it needs to operate on several frequencies of functions of as displacement vs. time, such as sine wave, triangle wave, and square wave. I tried to find information about using a digital pulse train but had no luck. Is it even possible to accomplish with this hardware?

In general E-Series DAQ-boards like the PCI-6052E are not very good for motion control tasks. The 6052E doesn't provide hardware timed digital I/Os so you can control the digital lines only by software. This is both slow and inaccurate as long as you are running the board under a non-deterministic OS like Windows.
On a real-time OS the jitter would be better but still the frequency would be low and it would still be hard to program accurate acceleration and deceleration ramps.
If you use the counter/timer instead of the digital I/Os you could reach higher velocities and a much better timing accuracy but it would be even harder to program acceleration/deceleration ramps which you will need if you want to reach higher velocities with your stepper motor. Additionally for motion control applications you may want features like limit switch monitoring and following error tracking which require again real-time capabilities.
With this said I don't recommend the usage of a multifunction DAQ board as a motion control board. Please have a look at the NI motion control boards like the PCI-7332 which does all the motion I/O and trajectory control onboard.

How can I change the speed of a video clip?

hi, I'm a new user of iMovie 08.
I fail to find the function button that can make a video clip slow down or faster, such as change the speed to 60% of the normal speed,etc.
I know iMovie 06 has this function,it's in video FX,duration,speed...but I can't find the menu in iMovie08.
Is there anyone knows where it is?
many thanks!

Upgrade to iMovie 06.
Slow / Fast Motion is easy with iMovie 06.
iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

How can I change the speed the file is played at on itunes?

My files are all listed at 128 k bits/second. However I require them to be 256 k bits/second. How can I change this? Do I have to change conversion settings or anything like that?
windows Windows 2000

I require them to be 256 k bits/second.
Is this something you want or sonmething you think is required somewhere?
Do you know why you want it at 256k?
-to submit music to the itunes store
to submit my music onto itunes
Do you mean to add music to your iTunes on your computer?
Or are you trying to add something the iTunes store?
-to add music to the itunes store
apparently my music needs to be 256 k /s
This is incorrect in either case.
-from tunecore faq- "256 kbps is the MINIMUM for AACs uploaded to TuneCore"
It will not accept files at 128 k bits.
What won't accept the files?
-Tunecore website

How can I change the speed of slides for each song on the custom list?

Hello - I am working on an anniversary slideshow in iphoto on my Mac. It contains 145 photos. I have a custom playlist of two songs. I want to adjust the speed of the slideshow in the beginning to be slower because the song is slower. Then I want the photos to move faster at the end. I did notice I can specifically define the speed for each of the slides manually, but that would take forever. Does anyone have a recommendation of a trick for doing this in batches?

What is your iPhoto version?
In iPhoto '11 you can change the duration for several slides at once, if you are using the Classic Theme or the Ken Burns theme.
In that case do the following: SElect several slides at once and open the Settings. Click the "This slde" tab and change the "Show this slide for ..." setting.

How can I change the value in a stepper cell

In Numbers 2.3 I was able to change the value in a stepper cell by highlighting the value and using the arrow keys to increase or decrease the value. This was a very easy way to input data. Numbers 3.0 when I do this is moves to another cell
Is there a way to get the use of the arrow keys to change the values in 3.0?
Thanks

I use number to keep a running daily tally of the productivity of the members of my group. As each member performs certain tasks, all I had to do was click the up arrow and add to it. IE Jim made 4 widgets yesterday and then made 4 today, I would just hit the up 4 times total 8.
I guess the good news is when I upgraded to Numbers 3.0, It did not delete Numbers 2.3
I will continue to use 2.3 until it no longer works, I guess
Thanks for the replies

How can I change the speed of a clip if the speed slider is missing?

I have read several other threads on this topic and they have not resolved my issue. I have a single clip I would like to adjust the speed for. When I click on "Clip Adjustments," the "Inspector' window only shows duration. Changing the duration does not make the closing credits roll more slowly. The clip is already part of my project, so I have no idea what else to try.
I'm very grateful for assistance.
Thanks.

Ok, well you won't get a "speed scale" indicator when editing a title clip. You can only adjust duration. Now, is there music attached to the title clip? Are you adjusting the TITLE TEXT box ONLY? Try adjusting the clip BELOW Title Text box 1st, then Title Text clip. Is the Title attached to your own video OR is it one of iMovie's default Titles??

HP Fan is so annoying, how can i change the speed? im about to smash my laptop

are there any programs where i can adjust the overall speed of the fan?
i have a G7-1277DX its a cheap laptop but this fan is going to kill me haha. it makes a howling whistling noise.
it is fine slower... or faster... but stock its in a sweet spot and its stressing me out lol. i just disabled the fan in BIOS, itll only run when it needs to now.

Hi,
Please also try this software
Hope it helps.

How can I change the preferred WiFi network in my MacBook Pro

How can I change the preferred order of networks on my MacBook Pro? There used to be one network at my office. Now there is a second higher speed wifi network also present which I would prefer to connect to, but the Macbook connects to the older one unless manually changed.

How do you change the speed of a detached audio clip?

I have a piece of detached audio. Video Frame rate is 23.98. The piece of Video above it is Video Frame Rate 24.
How do I change the speed of this detached audio clip?

Nope, the Automatic Speed did not work. I exported the XML, and then ran it through X2Pro to try and get my AAF, and it still spits out conform warnings/errors on those same spots. Automatic Speed apparently did nothing helpful to my situation. (Can Anyone explain Automatic Speed?)
Will have to try going through Cinema Tools per the similar issues noted in this conversation: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/28007
Curious to see what FCPX would do with this media, importing the 24p file to a 25 Project cause a noticeable shift in both time and pitch.
I imported the time coded audio separately, and played it against the obviously speed and pitched changed video with embedded audio. The files did not sync.
The audio remained in time and pitch, while the video didn't. So the audio tc doesn't seem to effect playback in FCPX, but video definitely does, and it seems rather buggy.
So, if your video is 24.0 and your audio is 23.98 and you are in a 23.98 timeline, FCPX might be changing the speed of the video without really reporting it. Resetting speed doesn't do anything, hitting "automatic speed" screws it up a bit more (it goes the wrong way). Changing the speed to something like 96% (FCPX reports 96% but I know it's really ((24000/1001)/25) which is just short of 96%. Turning off the "preserve pitch" checkbox actually pitched the audio back to normal.
I didn't create the 24.0 vs 23.9 media that you have, but perhaps you are having similar issues, or a different combination/permutation therein.
But to answer your question, the time coded audio was not changed, only embedded audio.
and
But here some notes which makes things hopefully clearer.
Resampling and changing playback speed are two totally different things.
Samplerate for audio is the same as fps for video (not dpi for video) so let's call it sps.
You can record audio at any sampling rate. But let's take 48 kHz and 32 kHz here.
Record 60 seconds. Once recorded both files as stand alone files will play 60 seconds.
But forced to play back in a NLE timeline with a fixed sps of 48 the first file will playback correctly. The second one will play at 2/3 of the time (32/48). The other way round the 48 sps file will play longer in a 32 sps timeline.
Now for those poor guys who have to work with NTSC:
A real world second is not a second in NTSC video world. Its 1001/1000 seconds.
So selecting a 48k sps audio preset in a timeline preset means that a real world audio of 60 seconds is only 1000/1001x60. That means that those 60 seconds are only 59.94 seconds long. Its too short.
One way - if you stay strictly in NTSC - is to record audio with 48048 Hz. This way a real world 1 second audio will match a 1 second NTSC video.
Next option with BWAVE files is to change the playback settings in the BEXT header of the file. This won't resample the file!!!
Now about the TC. BWAVE doesn't have a TC in a way you're used when handling video. It has a timestamp in the header. This timestamp contains the Samples after Midnight. Based on that the NLE will convert this to TC which can be displayed. So in NTSC world this might give a wrong interpretation.
For example if you have a "Start TC" of 00:10:00:00 (thats what you see on your audio recorder) it means that using 48kHz the timestamp is at 600x48,000 = 28,800,000 samples. Since the real sampling rate in the timeline though is 48048 Hz you have to divide the source stamp by this number. This results in 9.99000999000999 minutes. So for a 23.976 fps project this is a TC of 00:09:59:10.
So setting the Bext header and/or iXML chunk to the correct playback speed will keep everything intact. Again this is without resampling!
Using an AIFF there aren't these options.
So you can edit all the stuff without resampling when using BWAVE. But resampling will happen when you export a final movie.

How can I change the transceiver capabilities

How can I change the transceiver capablities of my MX98715-based Ethernet Adapter from adv_autoneg_cap to adv_10fdx_cap.
I tried to change everything including system file or use the ndd command, but it takes no effects.

almost all modern networking equipment runs IEE 802.3 100 Mbps 100Base-T Ethernet in Full Duplex mode.
What you mean to say is that your Internet connecion appears slow, not that your connection between your modem and your PC is slow. However, be warned that some manufacturers have limited their hardware to 10Base-T Half-Duplex mode (i.e. 10 Mbps) as most ISPs had not increaseed their traffic loading.
At Charter Communications, we recently added 10 Meg x 1 Meg service, and will be increasing that down the line, but not for some years.
Still, you are very unlikely to be able to push even 50% of that link, due to the self-protection and bandwidth-conservation built into network protocols.
Do a trace route to any website to find out (if possible) where a link may be slow. After that, do a continious ping (Windows: ping -t [site]), and see if there is any packet loss occuring, or possibly the website being slow at some times. (Ctrl+C will stop the ping).
I work at our divisional NOC and know a lot about our systems, and why things go slow. Please note that during maintenance windows (typicallt midnight to 5 am) some core and access equipment may have changes being made to them that slow speed as well.

How can I change the tax formula in system form ?

How can I change the tax formula in system form ?

Great!
I suppose "Speed-button" is the same as "toolbar button", right?
To all (more or less):
It confirms that I am on the right track when I bother the participants in this forum time-after-time with remarks to train themselves - or get trained - in application + customization features (+ SDK).
Of course as developers we can use the SDK for whatever purpose and try to develop additional functionality - ... that might already be there, but we just don't know about it
In addition the power of customization features (UDFs/UDTs/queries/formatted searches (also bound to fields on SAP Business One forms)...) should not be underestimated!!!
When starting development with SDK you - or the person who writes the specifications for an Add-On must IMHO be familiar with the application + the customization features + being trained with SDK to avoid unnecessary development or getting into trouble latest when the solution is shipped to a customer...
Please again note that there's a lot of eLearning available in the education area in the SMB Portal on SAP Service Marketplace.

I just set up a wireless network using an airport express. How can you change the network name

How can you change the name of a wireless network set up with an airport express

Yes, you can. If you use the current AirPort Express, Apple says that you can connect up to 50 devices. Realistically, make that 25-30 or so before the speed really begins to drop.
Remember that you will have to reset the modem though, before you connect it to the AirPort Express as the modem "remembers" the settings for your computer.

How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

HT201361 Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop. How can I change the folder?

Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop (that is the default). How can I change the destination folder? Thank you, Sal

To change the screenshot capture location to a new place on your Mac, first think of a location that would serve you properly. We like to place ours in a "Screenshot" folder located inside of the User's "Pictures" folder. To change the location to this new location, open the Terminal and enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/[u]/Pictures/Screenshots/
Replace "[u]" with the name of the user on your system. Once you have entered this command, let's restart the screen capture utility by restarting the SystemUIServer by entering the following command:
killall SystemUIServer
You can optionally log out and back in instead of entering this second command, thus restarting the SystemUIServer. Once restarted, all screen captures taken from here on out will end up in your /Pictures/Screenshots/ folder in the User's home folder on your Mac.
