How can I measure a current continually after switching it to a DMM?

Whether a current could be measured continually after switching it to a DMM? How to write the scan list? 
I tried many times and failed. 
Thanks advance

Hi 小木虫,
Ignore my first reply.  I misunderstood your question and provided an example of how to create a "make before break" scan list entry.  You do not need this for your application.  I think "break before make" will suffice.
I now understand that you want to make multiple current measurements after creating a switch connection.  The scan list entry you provided: r2->c0 & r3->c1; will create the connection required for the DMM to measure the current flowing between c0 and c1.  However, the DMM will send a trigger back to the switch after making its first measurement.  
One way to make multiple measurements is to create multiple connection entries in the scan list.  Each scan list entry triggers the DMM to make one measurement.  I don't like this idea much, as it will actuate the relay many times (once for each measurement). 
Is hardware-timed operation necessary?  If you used a switch software trigger, you could make the scan list connection (r2->c0 & r3->c1; ) and then begin a DMM multi-point acquisition.  Once you've collected all the required current measurement samples, you could send another switch software trigger to continue with the next scan list entry. 
Will this work?

  • How can reattach keyword tags to photos after switching to PSE11

    I recently upgraded from vista to windows 8.
    I then upgraded from Photoshop elements 9 (I think) to Photoshop elements 11.  I had catalogs and pictures scattered in different places so one of the options was just too gather all of the photographs on the hard drive and start a new catalog.  It worked, and so all of my pictures are under one catalog name which is perfect.  The key word tag categories are listed as I had sent them up in the previous version, but none of the photos are actually labeled with their keyword tax.  How can I reattach the tags to the pictures.
    I appreciate any help I can get with this thank you.

    Here is the link:
    http://johnrellis.best.vwh.net/psedbtool/
    and mor precisely
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/#_Writing_File_Metadata
    Unfortunately, as you can see, that tool has not been updated to PSE9. Its advantage for writing the tags is that the organizer (all versions) does only add tags to the files without replacing the old tags while psedbtool replaces the tags.
    If you have not yet used the 'write metadata to files' feature in PSE9, you don't need psedbtool.
    Another note for PSE11 users:
    That behaviour of the organizer has not been changed, but you can use another tool to erase tags for a batch of selected files.
    In the information panel on the right, expand the 'metadata' section, and click on the rightmost icon to get detailed view. Expand the IPTC section. Click on the 3 dots icon to open the IPTC dialog. There you can choose to delete all keywords.
    Or:
    After selecting your pictures, click on the 'Add IPTC data' button in the information panel.

  • How can I save my current Firefox customization to install on a new Windows 7 installation

    This is not asking for a problem fix.
    How can I save my current Firefox 3.6 customization, toolbar set-up, plug-ins, add-ons, etc. to a file or files so I can install it, pre-customized, after I do a re-format and clean install of a new Windows 7 operating system?
    I am currently in Windows Vista.
    I'm just trying to make it so I don't have to re-customize everything I already have done by doing a fresh installation of Firefox.
    Or can I just save the existing Mozilla Firefox program folder and then drag and drop it into the new programs folder in Windows 7?
    Thanks,
    numetro

    A couple of links that can help with this, [[Backing up your information]] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]. The second one includes a link to a free utility that can make this easier.
    Just saving the progams folder will not work, the user data is stored elsewhere.

    How can I unfreeze my iphone 5 after trying to download OS update?
    I've got the black screen with the white Apple and the horizontal download bar (little white dot at the left end).
    I pllugged it in, selected the OS update and after about an hour nothing happened so I diconnected it from the charger.
    The phone won't start, stop, shut down, or continue.
    Can anyone help, make a suggestion?
    Thanks in advance....:)

    modular747,
    Had same problem, got answer from supprot community and it worked.
    Hold down your power bar (on top) and your Home button (on face at bottom) for about 10 - 20 sec. and your phone will be restored - nothing lost or changed.  Worked like a charm for me 20 sec ago.
    Good luck

  • How can i measure distance ?

    i am making afire fighting robot that us camera to detect the fire i made the vi which find the fire through match pattern but now i want to measure the distance between the camera (which on th robot ) and the fire (which located in the image using match pattern) so how can i measure this distance?
    khaledyr 

    Ok... this is sad, I should be asleep now instead I'm here thinking about this problem.
    I've worked out how to do the distance caluclation with no extra H/W and only 1 camera - as Henrik said, the standard solution is triangulation, but you just want to measure distance, so I'm going to assume you're already pointing in the right direction.
    Assumptions:
    1) It is usual to use triangulation to to measure intenisity, this is because light will have 2 different distances to travel from source to sink.
    2) It is possible to use 1 sink if you use mirrors to increase the path of the light so you can have 2 seperate source -> sink distances.
    3) having 2 cameras (sinks) next to each other, one covered with a physical filter would have the same effect as the amount of light reaching the 2 sinks from the source will be different.
    ... following on from 3, it can be assumed that taking 1 image and applying 2 levels of filtering to it before processing will give the same result as if we had 2 different images. Careful setting of the software filter level will then allow it to remain contstant and then the system can be calibrated just as any other system would be calibrated:
    Measure the intensity of the source from sink A at distance X
    Measure the intensity of the source from sink B at distance X
    Measure the intensity of the source from sink A at distance Y
    Measure the intensity of the source from sink B at distance Y
    If Y=2X the calibration calulation is easy....
    Hope this provides more food for thought.

  • How can i measure the speed of the fan in sound and vibration signal simulator box

    how can i measure the speed of the fan in sound and vibration signal simulator box
    provided the values  tach out:2 pulses/revolution and  maximum speed = 6000rpm

    Hi. I tried your suggestion and I could not get it to work well. In
    fact it worked better without the running average (which suprised me).
    I also played with the number of data points but still could not get it
    to work well.
    Do you have any other suggestions on how I could sort this problem out?
    I
    have attached a screen shot of the signal. To recap, I'm trying to
    measure the'y' position of the flat regions of the signal. The signal
    does not have a constant level, so this 'y' position varies with time
    in a non-unform manner.
    I am currently differentiating
    the signal and selecting the y position when the differential is equal
    to zero (within a tolerance band).
    In the screenshot, the
    signal has been zeroed using the method I have described above.
    However, it occasionally has glitches which may be caused when the code
    picks up a zero gradient at a peak or valley in the signal.
    I therefore need some kind of algorithm that only measures the position of the flat regions.
    Many thanks
     John

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

  • I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    How can i run a executable right after a rman job has run?
    I have a rman job that execute every night. The backup is local.
    I want to have a duplicate of the backup on another machine.
    I want the executable to sync the directory to execute right after the rman backup.
    How can i do this using the job scheduler?
    Normaly, i would configure rman to run the backup on both location. But im having trouble with rman regarding this:ORA-600 [2103] on RMAN Backup to NFS mounted file system

    Hi,
    If the rman job is in fact a Scheduler jobs (appears in the dba_scheduler_jobs view) then you can create a second event-based job that runs after the rman job (and set the raise_events attribute for the rman job).
    Instructions are here

  • How can I measure the hertz in a wave form?

    How can I measure the hertz in a wave form?

    As an example, this is from BBC Technical Requirements for HD material:
    3.1.1 Stereo line-up tones
    All stereo tracks must use EBU 1KHz tone (left ident). All tones must be sinusoidal, free of distortion and phase coherent between channels.
    Digital Audio Reference level is defined as 18dB below the maximum coding value (-18dBFS) as per EBU recommended practice R68.
    See also:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/dq/pdf/tv/tv_delivery_to_network_programmes_v1.2-2011.pdf
    for full document.
    And for BBC Radio:
    Not every Network requires tone. Check the delivery requirements with the commissioning network or click here.
    Reference tone, where used, should be at -18dBFS or PPM 4 on A, B and/or M.
    If submitting material with reference tone, tone and programme material must be have been monitored and measured through the same technical chain. The level of the tone must be equivalent to 0dBu and no less than 8dB below peak audio level for the programme material.
    THE LEVEL OF TONE MUST HAVE A KNOWN RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LEVEL OF THE PROGRAMME MATERIAL AND THIS MUST BE STATED; for example: “Tone at 8dB below peak programme level”.
    As a newcomer to digital sound (my background is camera) I confess to being somewhat confused. We are normally told to record at the highest level possible. So for voice podcasts I tend to record at about -6dB below peak for maximum volume, distributeds on MP3 files.
    But I can underatand that televison and radio especially for analogue transmission) may have limited headroom, hence the requirement for -18dB peak = 0dBM.
    I remember when we first rented out Digital Betacam cameras, some recordists were recording almost everything OVER -18dBM.
    I suspect that until we have an all-digital world, these requiremnents will still be in place.
    Many thanks to all. It's a ghreat community!

    I don't know if this is a similar problem but I wrote 2 notes yesterday on my iphone. I opened my mail to print them and they appeared as notes but wouldn't load. Then I looked at them on my iphone and I could see the notes but they quickly updated to blank with a time of the last edit the same time I tried opening them on my computer.
    Yesterday I updated to 4.3.4  I don't know if somehow that affected them. Are they stored somewhere else. Can I get them back?
