How do I get the X-Y GRID INSPECTION.VI to wait until data collection is complete before it starts moving?

I am using a PCI-7344 card with LabView to control a 3-axis servo motor motion system in conjunction with a data acquisition system. The intent is to collect data at each grid point of an X-Y grid.
Using the X-Y Grid Inspection (Template).vi as a starting point, I programmed my data acquisition vi to start when the Check Blend Complete Status.vi returned a value of TRUE. I expected the while loop to complete once the data acquisition was complete, but the system starts moving at the same time the data acquisition starts.
Is there a way to force the motion system to wait for the data acquisition to complete prior to moving to the next waypoint?

If you enter a positive value into the blend factor control (period in ms), the board will wait this amount of time until it starts the next move.
The Check for Blend Complete.flx function returns TRUE when this wait period is finished. Thus you will see the bahvior you have described.
There are three options I can think of:
1. Check the move complete status in order to start your measurement after the move has come to a stop.
This method might be not the ideal solution as you need to be sure that your measurement doesn't take longer than the wait period you have entered as blend factor. Of course you can make this period very long but then your overall test time will increase.
2. To avoid the disadvantage of 1. don't use blending at all. Instead start a
move to the desired position, wait for move complete, do your measurement and start the next move. This method makes sure that you don't waste time.
3. This might be the smartest and fastest method but there are a few additional requirements:
- The time for your measurement is fixed
- You can use an external trigger or scanclock to start your measurement.
If these requirements are met you could combine the x-y grid example with a breakpoint example.
You could program your board to generate a breakpoint (trigger) at each target position. The Breakpoint output of your 7344 is connected to the trigger or scanclock or whatever input of your measurement device. Now each time your axes reach the next target position the 7344 fires a trigger and your measurement device acquires data.

  • How do I get the numbers ipad app to plot a graph of dates against values, where the most recent date is on the right of the graph, but the most recent date is at the top rather than bottom of the rows in the table?

    How do I get the numbers ipad app to plot a graph of dates against values, where the most recent date is on the right of the graph, but the most recent date is at the top rather than bottom of the rows in the table?
    Also how can it be a line graph without plotting a circle at each value?
    Thanks this is very frustrating

    Make a copy of the table and produce your Line chart or Bar chart from the copy. Sort the copy into the order you want to see in your chart.
    Alternately you could use a Scatter Chart...

  • How do I get the do not disconnect to go away?  Yep, I disconnected before I should have

    how do I get the DO NOT DISCONNECT message to clear....

    If you disconnected before your iPod came back on it could be bricked. Try resetting iPod back to factory settings but back up all your music, photos, files etc to an external or make sure you have them on your Mac before doing so.

  • This is a silly question, but I cannot fix it! The icons that appear on my photos after I edit them, have gone away. The only way I can see them is in the Grid view. How can I get the icons back on the thumbnail photos of the full gallery that is loaded?

    You have likely dragged the size of the filmstrip thumbnails to a small size that prevents Lightroom from displaying the badges. Using your mouse, mouse over the top line of the filmstrip and then drag it supports to increase the size.

  • How do I get the Organizer to show file names?

    I'm lost and confused in Photoshop 13. How do i get the file names to be displayed in Organizer? I've chosen to keep the older version of the "grid" display and miss having the file names showing. I've searched the online manual but can't seem to find what I need!

    ManyOldPhotos a écrit:
    And as a follow-up question, how do I get the font to be larger in the Organizer. It's all so tiny!
    If you are on Windows, you can set the font size  from the control panel, display options. You can set the text font to 125% or 150%.
    That will change the display for other applications too (not for the editor...)

  • How do I get the cells to show up darker when printing my document

    When using Numbers, how do I get the cells to show up darker when printing my document?

    Are you asking about the cell background, as ivmedic has assumed, or about how to make the grid lines separating the cells darker?
    Select the table.
    Use the controls shown above this table to change:
    Stroke type from "Thin" to the solid line shown.
    Stroke thickness to 1 pt
    Stroke colour to a darker value (This is set to black, the rightmost cell in the top row of the Color Palette available fir this Color Well.)
    the controls are toward the right end of the Format Bar.

  • How can I get the metronome to click dotted-quarters in 6/8?

    When I go from 4/4 to 6/8 the metronome goes hyper (clicks 8ths)
    This is annoying. How can I get the metronome to lay back and click dotted-quarters instead?
    -Thanks

    Working in 3/4 is not a realistic alternative to working in 6/8. Fundamentally, 3/4 and 6/8 are not the same thing at all. Basic music theory 101, yes?
    If you want to work with a dot-quarter click, set your time sig to 6/8 as you normally would. Then create your own click track by assigning the Klopfgeist to a track and recording (or penciling in) two dot quarters. One measure will do. Quantize and loop that region. You're done!
    \[EDIT] You might want to play around with the pitches and velocities of those two notes, but once you learn which notes (and velocities) sound best you're totally good to go.
    This technique (creating your own custom click track) is also useful if you wanted to work in 6/8 but alternate between 6/8 and 3/4 feel. There's an traditional Argentine rhythm (Chacarera) that uses this (thanks Jordito for the reminder of what it's called). There are other examples as well. Anyway, 6/8 is not 2/4 or 3/4. It's 6/8, just like 12/8 is not 4/4, and 9/8 isn't 3/4. My main point is that you shouldn't have to compromise in terms of editing on the grid or anything else just because Logic doesn't give you the click you need out-of-the-box. Work MUSICALLY and get Logic to bend to your will by using the technique above. Or, the one below!

    Sorry, not so good great at LR.  Do you have pics or something visual to show how this is done?...Do i have to switch each photo's process version or is there a way to do a whole batch of them?
    The quickest way to update just one photo is to click the lightning bolt icon under the histogram in the Develop module. This can be more convenient than scrolling all the way down to the Calibration tab.
    A quick way to update a whole batch of them is to select any number of them in Grid view, and then choose Photo > Develop Settings > Convert to Current Process. The AutoSync way works too, as long as you remember to turn it off immediately after you're done.
    Like JimHess suggests, I don't automatically convert them all at once, but on a case by case basis because they don't always look better after conversion. The benefits of the new process version can potentially make them look better, but you usually have to do a few more adjustments to get them there. If you don't have time to do that yet but you need to use the existing images soon, leave them in the old process version for now.

  • I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

    Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • How can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?

    how can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?
    ok,consider my property file name is pro.PROPERTIES
    and it contain
    8326=sun developer
    4306=sun java developer
    3943=java developer
    how can i get the all keys & values from the pro.PROPERTIES to hashtable
    plz help guys..............

    The Properties class is already a subclass of Hashtable. So if you have a Properties object, you already have a Hashtable. So all you need to do is the first part of that:Properties props = new Properties();
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream("tivoli.properties");
    props.load(is);

    Delete the broken links in iTunes then look at your purchased list to redownload.
    If this happened because you were deleting files from the iTunes folder in Finder, don't.  You have to let iTunes do all the deleting and moving or you will end up with broken links.
