How do I use elvis to record data from a pasco rotary motion sensor

I want to use a pasco rotary motion sensor (a rotary encoder) with ELVIS to record angular velocity. I have a LabPro system which I could also interface. But I was hoping to keep the hardware less complicated by wiring the sensor directly to ELVIS. Does anyone have a sample .vi which would record sensor output?

Hi PCM,
Measuring the time between pulses can be a little complicated. You can have a look at this knowledge base to get an idea of how it can be accomplished. However, since the sensor's output is a stream of digital pulses you can use the counters in this card to get some information from the digital signal. You can use one of the counter’s inputs in the NI-ELVIS and get the frequency or period of the digital signal. One good point to get started is by looking at the counters examples built in LabVIEW, you can find them going to Help > Find Examples > Hardware Input and Output > DAQmx > Counter Measurements. I hope this is helpful.

How can I use notifications to send data from different sources to thesame chart?

Hi,
I am using the "Continuous Measurement and Logging" template project that ships with LV 2013.
It is extremenly helpful for figuring out messaging between the acquire, graph, and log loops. (Thanks NI!)
I've run into a snag however.
I would like to modify it so that my graphing loop receives data notifications from two acquisition sources via notifiers.
I'm having trouble getting data from both sources to display on the same chart.
I've isolated the issue in the attached vi.
Here's what happens:
1. I create data from 2 parallel loops and send the data to a third parallel loop with notifiers.
2. The third loop receives data from only one of the loops because one of the receiving notifiers just times out instead of receiving data.
Can someone suggest how I can fix this?
Thanks.

test notification loop.vi ‏42 KB

Here is my modification of your VI. I put notes on the block diagram to explain the changes. It uses a queue for the data transfer to avoid loss of data. It uses a notifier to stop the loops. All local variables and Value property nodes have been eliminated.
The way the loops are stopped will likely leave some data in the queue. No more than one or two iterations of each of the data acquisition loops. If you need to guarantee that all data has been displayed (or saved in a real application), then you need to stop the acquisition loops first and read the queue until you know it is empty and both of the other loops have stopped. Then stop the display loop and release the queue and notifier.

How to use sda6810 to receive data from a rs485 channel?

I want to use sda6810 to anlyze data from a rs485 bus. So I use Labview to progame the sda6810 with the drivers.Firstly,I intilite the card,then I cofigued an channel to send data from a buffer,and configued another channel to receive data from the first chanel . But unfortunatly the data I received was not equal to the data I sended.And there are not any error messages indicated in Labview
And when I try to use the GP channel,I found it worked properly.please tell me how I can solve the problem?

I really apreciate your help.You told me that
I should use the exameples which shipped with sda driver firstly. I do used them,and it worked correctly.So I think the connections was being setup properly.And I
used labview to progame the rs485 channel
. It do received something .But it was incorrect.
I would be grateful if you could send me an
example writted by labview,or you could tell
me you e-mail address.
Here is my code .

ICloud storage space used up by old data from 1st gen iPad I traded in nearly 2 yrs ago for an iPad Mini. Can't backup any info for mini or new 6 plus. How can I access this old data to clear it out?

My iCoud storage space is being used up by old data from a 1st generation iPad I traded in nearly 2 yrs ago for an iPad Mini. The people at the sprint store where I made my trade were supposed to transfer everything over from my old iPad to the new Mini once they backed up the old device to iCloud. Well, long story short, none of the data ever got transferred to the new iPad, but it all got backed to iCloud, eating up all my storage space. Here I am almost 2 years later, and I've never been able to back-up my iPad mini. What's worse, My iPhone 4 wasn't backed up that whole time, and now I can't back-up my data from my new iPhone 6 Plus to iCloud either. Trying to find creative ways to store and save my information and data between all my devices is getting to be ridiculous. I don't want to upgrade my storage space though...just want to clear out a great deal of what is already being stored. How can I access this old data to clear it out?

The only way to access data from an iCloud backup is to restore it to your device. You could, for example, back up your iPad mini to your computer using iTunes (by connecting it, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up and choosing to back up apps and transfer purchases when prompted), then erase it and restore the old iPad backup (as explained here: iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud), save any recovered data you want to keep, then restore your iTunes backup back to your iPad mini (by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup).
Once you're done with the old backup, delete it from your account to free up the space.

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Hi All,
I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

How do I prevent browsing and search data from being forwarded to Google by Mozilla, while still using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser?

I do enjoy using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser, BUT, I don't enjoy the details of my life, to include my Internet activity, to be archived by Google, or anyone else, via Mozilla's/Firefox's sharing of my Internet browsing and/or search engine activity with any aspect or facet of the Google organization. With all of this said, my question is, "How do I prevent browsing and search data from being forwarded to Google by Mozilla, while still using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser?"

Firefox's default behavior includes no automatic interaction with Google.
We do use Google as default search engine and to report web forgery in the 'help' menu, but no data are sent to Google without your knowledge, and you can change your preferred search engine at will.
However many websites themselves make use of Google Ads which do cause interaction with Google when you load the webpages. This is visible in status bar and happens in any browser. The [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript NoScript] add-on for Firefox can largely save you from this problem.
If you see things happening otherwise, please reply with details on what you see.

Use evdre to query data from a SQL View

Hi all
I believe that it is possible to use evdre to query data from a SQL View. If this is possible then how does one go about setting it up in the evdre options (assuming that the view has already been created)?
Regards,
Byron

Byron, perhaps this is no longer supported, it might be worth opening up a case at service.sap.com on this. However, I did find the following on Page 11 of the "Usages and Considerations of EVDRE" pdf file. This doc is imbedded in the helpfile for BPC 7 SP5 (which was released in August of 2009, well after note 1315011 was last updated.
It looks like you are limited to one custom view per application, since you have to name the view in a parameter at the APPLICATION level. Go into BPC Administration, login to the application related to the custom view, choose "Set Application Parameters" and enter the name of the view to the Application Parameter called "EVDRE_QUERYVIEWNAME" If it is not listed, go ahead and create it at the bottom of the Application parameter screen.
Also: I interpreted the following info from Page 10 of the same doc:
In your EVDRE, set the following options:
QueryEngine: MANUAL
QueryType: enter either NEXJ OR TUPLE see below:
NEXJ - Use two-dimensional queries using the nonemptycrossjoin function
TUPLE - Use two-dimensional queries using tuples"
And I'm assuming you'd enter a Y for the following two parameters:
QueryViewName
"..to enforce the query engine to use a used-defined SQL view of the fact tables, when trying to read the values using SQL queries. This option is typically used in conjunction with the SQLOnly option (see below). "
Option SQLOnly
"..to enforce the query engine to only execute SQL queries, when reading data. This can be achieved using this option."

I would like to use DDE to send data from a Lookout Server to an Excel

Hello National Instruments,
I would like to use DDE to send data from a Lookout Server to an Excel
Spreadsheet.
I have Lookout 6.1 on a server connected to 4 client workstations
The operating system on the server is Windows Server 2003 R2; Standard Edition;
Service Pack 2
I have opened DDE Share but after filing in Share Name; Static Application
Name; Static Topic Name
I get a message, "Can't bind to DSDM service"
I also get this message when I press add a Share
What are the steps to setting up this type of communications link?
Thanks,
David Lopez
Scada Functional Analyst

Ryan,
I have followed the steps on the Knowledge Base "How do I use DDE To Send Data Across the Network To Excel From Lookout?" but what I am seeing is that the computer with excel (Computer B)hangs up displaying an hour glass continuously leaving me no option but to go into task manager to stop excel. It appears to me that the dde share is not working properly on my windows xp where lookout resides or I do not have a certain service turned on. I do have the DDE services turned on both computers. I have my computer set up as computer A with Lookout and Process1 as the process with a pot set up as pot1. On my computer (Computer A) I also have the dde share set up per the KB example.
On computer B I have the dde services turned on and I am typing the following into an excel worksheet Cell ='\\TAG23232\NDDE$'|'Process1$'!Pot1
TAG 23232 is Computer A's Name
Do you have any suggestions???
