How can I eliminate stairsteps between samples in a graph?

How can I eliminate stairsteps between samples in a graph? I am graphing the input from a fieldpoint AI-100 and I get stairsteps between samples. I'm using Labview 4.1

Paul,
It sounds like you are running into the situation where the resolution of the ADC converter is the source of the behavior you see. Your configuration may be set so that a voltage change is not seen between samples, generating multiple points with the same value. If this is the case, the graph you see is correct. It is displaying the points it receives from the FP-AI-100. You can verify this by displaying the graph data in an array, and seeing if some of the adjacent samples show the same value.
If this is the case, see if you can match the signal range to that of the ADC to take advantage of the resolution available. For example, if you set the range to be 0 to 30 volts, the smallest detectable voltage change would be 7.3 mV (range/gain*2^resolution) bec
ause the FP-AI-100 has a resolution of 12-bit. You can read up on issues with range and resolution by doing a search on http://www.ni.com using the keywords "range" and "resolution".
Otherwise you may be able to compensate for this behavior in software, such as running an averaging routine or applying a mathematical formula to the data points.
Hope this helps!

  • How can I eliminate the pointless top bar, close up the spaces between bars that are wasting space and reduce the depth of the tabs so that I have the space I had before for the websites I am looking at?

    I have updated to the latest form of Mozilla Firefox, and the top of the screen is altered so that it occupies far more space than it used to do, leaving far less space for what I want to look at. Why are there spaces between bars? Why are the tabs deeper than they used to be or need to be? How can I eliminate the pointless top bar which merely duplicates the information in the tab bar? Is there any way of simply restoring the previous arrangement?

    Okay, I accept that this is just how it is, and there is nothing to be done about it, because no-one except me thinks that the icons and toolbars should be organised to take up minimum space in order to allocate maximum space to the page.
    The crowning irony of all this is that, having updated to the latest Mozilla Firefox and consequently having this arrangement at the top of the page which I don't like, the middle of the page now comes up with its old message, 'You are not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade now.'
    Computers are very odd. :(

  • How can I eliminate delays in one NIC when there is traffic on second NIC

    Using LabVIEW TCP/IP VIs, my LV application is  accessing a database though a LAN, and  through a second NIC, it is controlling an instrument.  The instrument is connected directly to the computer NIC with a cross-over cable.  I have made a permanent route for the IP address of the instrument in the IP route table.  The LAN and the instrument have different subnet numbers.  Using a packet sniffer, I don't see any traffic meant for the LAN going to the NIC connected to the instrument.  The OS of the computer is Windows XP and the NICs are PCI cards.
    The message traffic to the instrument suffers from intermittent delays when there is traffic going to the LAN. 
    How can I eliminate the delays?  What could be the cause of the delays?  Thanks in advance for your recommendations and suggestions.

    Hi LabBard,
    Could you tell us a little more about the device that you are connected to? What you could try is to have a VI accessing the LAN, and a separate VI communicating with the instrument, and see how things play out.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
    Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

    No. Its not possible.
    Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.

    Thank you so much.  Because I am very computer illiterate, could you help me on how to get started?  I don't have the slightest on where to get started, the steps to follow, etc.

  • How can I use FaceTime between 2 I-Pads sharing the same email account

    How can I use FaceTime between 2 I-Pads sharing the same email address

    Cstearns-
    I only have one iPad, but was able to add myself to the list of Favorites.  When I tried to call, I was not available!
    You should also take a look at the Skype App for iPhone.  It works on the iPad, where you can choose 2X to expand the display.  I haven't tried to add myself to Skype, but have been able to have it connected on both my computer and the iPad at the same time.
    You might also consider getting a second address from G-Mail, just for use with FaceTime.

  • How can I eliminate duplicates in Outlook

    My iPhone 4 and iMac (Outlook) were out of sync. I synced them through iTunes and I now have duplicates in Outlook. How can I eliminate them in Outlook. My thought is to sync my iPhone with Google Contacts, eliminate the duplicates, and somehow load them into Outlook. Is that the best way to go, or is there an easier way?

    If you are trying to sync from the Outlook calendar on the PC and you are syncing with iCloud - that is probably why you are getting duplicate entries.
    So therefore, if you are getting duplicate entries - it must be syncing the Outlook calendar on the PC.

    I keep getting "quotation marks" at the end of every line when I type. How can I eliminate these marks as they are even showing up when I print and I will not have on my wedding programs! Please help (from a desperate bride-to-be)!

    It sounds like you are using an East Asian font and unless you are issuing invitations in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean that doesn't sound like a good idea.

  • How do you eliminate pauses betweens songs?

    Hello Group,
    This is a question I have pondered for a while now....It seems that when I import my music to the ipod the importing process seems to add a second or two to the song. How can one eliminate that? And secondly, CD's like The Beatles - Abby Road, where one song blends into the next, how can I get that same effect from my ipod when I make a cd myself...there is always that annoying 1 or 2 second pause from cd's I burn from itunes?.
    Thanks for your help.

    Your question gets asked on a daily basis, and has been answered many times. If you search for 'gapless playback' you'll see how just how many people inquire about this.
    In short... the iPod does not support gapless or crossfaded playback.
    If you want to eliminate the gaps, one workaround is to join the individual tracks together, and play them as one single track. You can do this by reimporting the CD into iTunes using the 'Join CD Tracks' feature.
    See Step 3 in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93079
    If you'd like to send feedback to Apple to ask that they include gapless playback as a feature in future revisions of the iPod firmware, you can do so on this feedback page.
