How do I synchroniz​e my instrument​s output at the same time?

Hello:
I am using Labview to control a New Era Pump Systems automatic syringe pump and to record diameter measurements from a LaserMike optical comparator. My program is fully functional, the code is attached with all auxilliary files in the NE-50X folder. I mostly understand my program, I used drivers for the NE-50X pump found on the NI website to build my code and added to it as needed. My program currently does the following:
After I push the white Run button, I am prompted for a file name. After I enter one, Labview begins collecting data from the LaserMike, syringe pump and pressure transducer and outputs them to their respective numerical indicators and waveform charts. Then I can change the syringe pump flow rate and syringe diameter on the front panel. Once I push the green RUN button on the front panel, the syringe pump runs, and the balloon diameter vs. syringe volume XY graph begins to record. I can then reverse the direction of the pump and/or pause the pump however many times I like, while Labview still records diameter from the LaserMike. Pushing the red STOP button on the front panel terminates the program and stops the pump.
Here are three things I would like to change about my program that I don't know how/what to do:
1) I would like to synchronize my machines so that they are outputing at the same rate.
2) I would like to convert my strain output into PSI.
If anyone has ideas about how to do any of these three things, your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello N,
What is considered a special board? I am using a SC-2345 DAQ board. This is where my transducer is hooked into. For my syringe pump and LaserMike I have them being inputed as instruments. When you say millisec resolution does that mean that the data points will be lined up better with one another?
I would like my strain gauge to measure pressure. 
Thanks!

    Hello Yun_Zhu,
    Your VI looks like you started from an example, and you are on the right track. 
    To clarify are you trying to synchronize the input and the output waveforms?  If you you will need to share a time base and a start trigger.  Check out the synchronization examples from LabVIEW

  • How do I set upmy Imac to allow using both my computer speakers and a Bose SoundLink system as outputs at the same time.  I can use one or the other, but not both.

    how do I set up my Imac to allow using both my computer speakers and a Bose SoundLink system as outputs at the same time.  I can use one or the other, but not both.  From systems Preferences I must select one or the other.  I want both to work all the time.

    Hi,
    I would recommend you to use 0FI_AP_4 rather using both, particularly for many reasons -
    1. DS: 0FI_AP_4  replaces DataSource 0FI_AP_3 and still uses the same extraction structure. For more details refer to the OSS note 410797.
    2. You can run the 0FI_AP_4 independent of any other FI datasources like 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_GL_4 or even 0FI_GL_14. For more details refer to the OSS note: 551044.
    3. Map the 0FI_AP_4 to DSO: 0FIAP_O03 (or create a Z one as per your requirement).
    4. Load the same to a InfoCube (0FIAP_C03).
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • How can I do to acquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI without interrupti​on.

    I've attached a VI that I am using to acquire amplitude from Spectrum analyzerse. I tried to connect amplitude ouput to the VI Write Characters To File.vi and Write to Spreadsheet File.vi. Unfortunately when I run continual this VI without interruption, labview ask me many time to enter a new file name to save a new value.
    So, How can I do to aquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI for example during 10 min.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Your VI does work perfectly. Unfortunately this not what I want to do. I've made error in my last comment. I am so sorry for this.
    So I explain to you again what I want to do exactly. I want to acquire amplitude along road by my vehicle. I want to use wheel signal coming from vehicle to measure distance along road. Then I acquire 1 amplitude each 60 inches from spectrum analyzer.
    I acquire from PC parallel port a coded wheel signal coming from vehicle (each period of the signal corresponds to 12 Inches). Figure attached shows the numeric signal coming from vehicle, and the corresponding values “120” and “88” that I can read from In Port vi.
    So I want to acquire 1 time amplitude from spectrum analyser each 5
    period of the signal that I am acquiring from parallel port.
    So fist I have to find how can I count the number of period from reading the values “120” and “88” that I am acquiring from In Port (I don’t know the way to count a number of period from reading values “120” and “88”).
    Here is a new algorithm.
    1) i=0 (counter: number of period)
    2) I read value from In Port
    3) If I acquire a period
    i= i+1 (another period)
    4) If i is multiple of 5 (If I read 5 period)
    acquire 1 time amplitude and write to the same
    file this amplitude and the corresponding distance
    Distance = 12*i). Remember each period of signal
    Corresponds to 12 Inches).i has to take these
    values: 5,10,15,20,25,35,40,45,50,55,60............
    5) Back to 2 if not stop.
    Thank you very much for helping me.

  • How many meetings can be opened by one account at the same time?

    I've tried Adobe Connect trial version.
    There are few questions about the product.
    1.How many meetings can be opened by one account at the same time?
       I could open 9meetings at the same time using other PCs. What is the limit?
    2.What is the maximum of students in a meeting?
       I'm thinking of buying monthly/Individual product.
    3.The meeting never end even though host is out of it. But we want to control.
       Can host close a meeting so that all participants are out of the session?
    Thanks for your attention.

    This depends on your licensing.
    If you are using a Named Host license, then you can open one meeting at a time. If other members of the Meeting Host group are present in a room, then it should allow you to have multiple rooms open, one for each Meeting Host licensing being used.
    If you are using the Concurrent Learner license, then each meeting you join uses a different licenses, so as long as you have concurrent seats available, you can open as many rooms as you want/need.
    Maximum number of attendees (students) would be your room's concurrent maximum, less your self. The monthly version of Connect offers 25 concurrent attendees in each room, so that would be 24 students and you.
    The meeting does end after it is dormant (no host) for ~15 min, however you can use the End Meeting function (Meeting > End Meeting) to close the meeting and remove everyone, including yourself, from the room.

  • How do I view multiple images from different projects at the same time?

    Hello
    I've been trying to find the answer in the user manual, but no luck so far.
    I did find how to open 2 projects at once, but I can only see one image at a time in the viewer and I have to keep going back and forth between projects to compare images. (These are scans of old photos and I want to eliminate the ones that are poorer quality, so need to compare numerous images from 2 sets of scans)
    How can I view an image from one project at the same time as an image from another? I know that it can be done in the same project by apple-clicking the second, third etc image, but this doesn't work if the images are from different projects.
    Thank you
    Elizabeth

    Thank you again Tony
    I've now created an album, independent of the projects, and dragged test images into it and it does just the job I needed. Now i just need to keep my brain sorted with which ones are which while i'm working

  • How to run 3 operations through my USB-6210 at the same time w/o gettin an error

     Hi, I am using a USB-6210 data logger from national instruments to collect data and run it through labview 7.1. However, when i try to run two labview files at the same time on two different channels in the data logger i get an error #50103 "The specified resource is reserved the operation could not be completed. How do i fix this?

    Hi Mariachi,
    I believe your overall project will be to collect data from
    your USB-6210 on multiple lines and save this to a file. Photon Dan is correct
    in the reason why you cannot use multiple tasks – because of the multiplexor,
    only one AI task can be run at a time. I would suggest putting all lines into
    one task and program, therefore eliminating the error, the need for multiple VI’s,
    and writing all data to a file at once. If you have further questions, I would
    ask that you post more detail about how you are collecting data (LabVIEW?
    SignalExpress? Etc) and your program. Unless you are connecting to other
    computers, you will not need to use VI Server, TCP, etc.

  • How can I install one app on multiple iPads at the same time?

    We have a volume purchasing account, but when purchasing an app we get multiple serial numbers that all seem to need to be entered individually. The iPhone config Utility will not sync multiple iPads at the same time. Am I missing something? This cannot be the method for mass deployment, it seem too complicated.

  • How  to fade groups of images or multiple images at the same time?

    I am creating a flash infographic, and want to fade images I have imported from Illustrator that are grouped. I would like to know how  to fade these groups and multiple images at the same time.
    Thanks!

    Use TweenMax for this.
    the syntax is like this:
    var arrayOfDisplayObjects:Array = new Array();
    //with arrayOfDisplayObjects.push(DisplayObject)
    //you can put any DisplayObject in the Array and when you want to fade them call this
    TweenMax.allTo(arrayOfDisplayObjects,1, { autoAlpha:0} );
    //to fade them in 1 second to alpha=0 and when reaching the zero make them invisible (to save processing power)

  • How do i export multiple full resolution movie files at the same time in final cut pro 6?

    I've been using Final Cut Pro since version 3 came out, know the program well, have even had jobs consisting of just operating the program.  I'm currently running version 6 because that's the latest one that works on my computer.  Back in verison 3, there used to be an option under Export to export a "Final Cut Pro" movie, which was really a Quicktime movie but appeared with a FCP icon and defaulted to opening in FCP, but the important thing about it is that it was a full resolution copy of the movie with no compression.  Now, that option seems to have been changed to "export Quicktime movie."  In my opinion that change is kind of stupid since it is so much less specific and is even less of an implication that one is exporting a full resolution file.  But in fact you are.
    One also has the option of using Compressor to export a version of a movie, and therein there are so many different options that if you are not confused by it I think there's something wrong with you.  Moreover, it would appear that there is no equivalent of exporting a full resolution version of a file in Compressor.  Fair enough: a full-resolution file involves no compression so is not appropriate for "Compressor."  BUT, suppose you want to export multiple uncompressed, full-resolution movies at once.  When you use Compressor, you are able to create batch lists and export many things at the same time, for instance, lists that will take many hours to complete so you can go to bed and get the results the next day.  But as far as I can tell there is no way to do this at full resolution without compression.  Instead you have to sit at the computer waiting for each one to finish and after each one, manually go to the next and select "export Quicktime movie."  Even if there is a way to do this I would complain that such an obviously desireable thing is so unaccessable.  In fact, the only reason I've typed out my question at such length is because I'm stuck here waiting for each one of my movies to export.
    Anyway, all my complaints aside, anyone know how to do this?

    what you're missing to export multiple files is the batch export command available in the file menu or by control clicking on the items in the browser.  You can export multiple sequences/clips at full resolution with this.
    This has been available in fcp for a long long time.
    Wow, you are right.  Now that you mention it, I can't believe I never noticed that.  Thanks.
    Only if you have the 'Self-Contained' box checked.  Otherwise you'll end up with a reference movie.
    Correct.  That box is typically checked by default.  There are other default settings you could change that would not result in a full-quality version, but what I meant was hitting that option from the pull-down menu, then changing nothing and hitting ok.
