How do you begin waveform timestamps at zero?

I am new to labview, writing my first program. I am collecting 1000 Hz temperature data, the sample rate of which can be changed on the fly. I have 12 channels of data, so I get an array of 12 waveforms. I wanted to get the timing data from just one waveform, so I was able to use the "get waveform time array" vi to collect that information, but it displays the real time (number of seconds since 1903 etc), and I want my timing to start at zero when I begin the vi. It needs to be accurate to the millisecond. I thought that I could just subtract the time (in seconds since 1903) of when the vi started from each element of the array and I would then start at zero, but there appears to be some kind of timing error or lag time and the results I get always start the time somewhere between 1.000 and 5.000 seconds, (something like 1.458, etc), which is unacceptable. I can easily fix the problem in Excel, but if anybody knows a better way around this problem, the help would be greatly appreciated.

rgehmlich,
I think the reason you're having trouble getting the timestamp to start at 0 is because the acquisition and the Get Date/Time in Seconds.vi are not happening at the same time. I think the system time is being read at the start of the program, and then the code goes through creating or opening the file, setting up the task, and doing the acquisition and all this probably takes between 1 and 5 seconds (with selecting the file to be opened). What I think would work better is to take the time information of the first waveform from the first iteration of the while loop and subtract that value instead of the Get Date/Time in Seconds value. I've modified your code to do this (and I took out the daq code and replaced it with an express VI since I don't have a daq card in my computer right now) and the timestamps start at 0 for me. Take a look and see if it helps.

How can you turn off timestamps?

We've setup our WebLogic instance (WebLogic 5.1 running on Solaris 2.7) such
that all messages going to standard out get redirected to a file. We do this so
that when errors appear on standard out we can capture them to help us problem
solve later (And before anybody says "why not just use the regular WebLogic log
files", I'd respond by saying that those log files miss way too much important
stuff). Pretty much any message output by WebLogic contains a time stamp, but
I've found that some messages (which are created by the JVM or by sloppy
programmers) will not have a timestamp. The lack of a timestamp can be a real
nuisance when you are trying to correlate problems between a busy client process
and a busy WebLogic server. We can fix this by piping the standard out through
DJB's tailocal and accustamp (which merely puts a very accurate timestamp at the
begginning of each line), but the result is that the WebLogic lines which
already have a timestamp will end up with two timestamps. I'd rather have two
timestamps than no timestamps, but I have been trying to find a way to tell
WebLogic not to put timestamps on any of it's messages so that when I use
tailocal/accustamp to put on a timestamp the result will be that all messages
will have only one timestamp.
So the question I have is does anybody know how to get WebLogic to not put a
timestamp on messages it kicks to standard out?
Thanks in advance,

How do you begin learning about Java?

Hi. I'm new to Java. I began taking a class at the local Community college where I live. I'm in my second term. It's a lot harder than the first. I'm not sure if I still understand the basics. I've written in COBOL, RPG I,II,III&IV, C, C++, C#, Pascal, Fortran, and Basic...along with a few other languages, but I find Java the hardest one to understand and program in.
Anyone out there got any advise as to how to begin?
I still feel very lost.

I am still learning myself. I have dabbled in programming since about 1976 when BASIC was available on the TRS-80 Model 1 but never did anything serious.
Start with the Java Tutorials at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial then look at other tutorials. There are some here:
<ul><li>Java Beginner Tutorial by
Srini Appikatla</li>
<ul><li>[http://www.javabeginner.com/]</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul><li>Java Advanced Tutorials on
ipodlot.com</li>
<ul><li>[http://www.ipodlot.com/javalearner/test/advanced.htm]</li>
</ul>
</ul>
I haven't worked through all of them but they look good so far.
Next, buy some books. I like "The Java Tutorial" Forth Edition. Yes, it is the same as the web site but it is easy to read sequencially. It doesn't cost much, used on Amazon.
Finally, actually write some code. It doesn't have to do much. Just play around. As you learn each new thing, try it out. It makes a big difference.

How do you reset Waveform chart to blank?

I have a VI with a Waveform chart in the WHILE loop, and each time I STOP the vi and re-start it, the old data remains in the display and moves out only as new data is collected. This old data persists even after the VI is closed and re-opened.
Is there a way to remove the old data each time the VI is run, in other words to make the blank screen the default for the Waveform chart? Right now, every time I open and run the VI, there is a squiggly line in the display, from irrelevant/useless data collected previously, and it would be cleaner and less confusing if there was no old data displayed there.
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks, but, still confused. I already have a data source wired to the Waveform graph. I cannot wire two things to the Waveform graph...so...can you offer more information? See the vi below....Waveform graph allows only one thing to be wired into it....
Are you suggesting wiring an empty array each time I use the VI and then reconnecting the data source?

How do you plan your project?

I'm thinking of recommending Captivate 3 to a client who does
live training sessions for hospital workers, and has had no online
options until now.
I have a basic understanding of how the program works, but
how do you begin brainstorming and planning your project? Once you
determine the audience's needs and your goals, do you draw a
schematic diagram on paper, actually develop the content and
interactions within the program, or....?

The view (and actions) taken by Phillip's firm are more and
more the "standard" or "best practice" of professional Captivate
developers. Small "bite sized" learning pieces make the act of
checking a specific task quick and easy for the end-student-user.
As an instructor, I put a lot of emphasis on storyboarding.
Paper and pencil works best for me as the first step, but "Word" is
then used as the next step in creating a script prior to starting
to record in Captivate.
In summary, creating short, precise Captivate projects
from a storyboard and written script is the best way to
build effective eLearning objects, as well as the most effective
method for quick and easy (easier) editing for the developer
(especially when changes are needed "post-production") - it is just
best for everyone.

How do you add a new scene to beginning without disturbing movie with music and beat markers?

How do you add a new portion to the beginning of your project without disturbing the rest of the project that already has perfectly place clips attached to beat markers with the music ?
I forgot to add a tittle intro before the music starts with the attached pictures. When I try to add the whole project goes out of sync.
I want to just add an intro without disturbing the entire project.
Thanks

Well, if you re-attach your background music under the first clip, the starting point will be at the start of that clip so I think it will still be in sync. If not it's simply a matter of nudging the music track a bit along the timeline. Comparing the audio waveforms of the two tracks should help with this. When its right you can delete the track in the background music position. Now you can add what you like before the first clip without affecting sync.

As above.... how do you change the country of origin in the iTunes store when you already have a balance in another country, in my case the balance is $0.03. At the moment I can't change the country because of this balance and have attempted to zero it out, but no luck yet. Any suggestions?

How do you go back to the beginning of playlist on ipod shuffle

The device only displays the last portion of a large text message. I'm not aware of any other method to access the beginning of the conversation except to scroll and keep loading the older part of the message. I would imagine to help with RAM management, the device does not load entire conversations.
You can provide feedback to Apple HERE, if you would like to see a change in the way the device displays messages.

How do you zero all sliders in LR4?

The default in previous versions of LR had the sliders set to various positions on import ie. Brightness 50 etc. You could zero out the slider by setting them at 0. Now with the sliders set to 0, yet LR adding a default processing, how to you zero out to start out flat?

jljonathan wrote:
The sliders and tone curve were actually set to these points for default but you could zero everything out and arrive at a FLAT image. Now, with LR4 these defaults are set by LR inside, BUT with the sliders are zeroed out. Is there a way in LR4 to to get to that same FLAT state?
No, not directly...you could set the sliders to zero with a linear curve in an image with PV 2010 and then convert the image to PV 2012. You'll end up with a minus Exposure of some number and a tone curve with multiple points already set to map the curve. But the image will have settings, no "zero'ed" as it was in PV 2010.
This has already been discussed, see:
Develop basic sliders - truly zeroed?
and:
Zeroed Defaults vs. Zeroed RAW File?
And before you ask, no, it's not likely to change...

I apologize. I didn't see that you hadn't updated to iOS 7. That's an iOS 7 option. With iOS 6, you'd need to restore the device as new. Note that that will result in your phone being updated to iOS 7.
Best of luck.

Waveform timestamp

I am using DAQmx and I am using the read function with the 1D waveform polymorphic instance. I am simply reading 10 channels of analog voltage data, but the reason I'm using waveform is becuase I need timestamp data for each sample collected. I also need multiple samples, which is why I'm not using single sample polymorhpic instance.
WIth the ten channels, I'm extracting the Y data and then concatenating all the values into one 2-d array where each channel column represents one channel of data. I'm trying to extract the timestamp from the waveform using (get waveform component t0), however, how do I get the timestamp into a form that can be concatenated with the other 1d data? When I convert it to double it just gives me one element and not an array of data. So theres only one timestamp for every like 100 lines of voltage data.
Please see below code.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Dennis, I see what you're saying with using the math operations on the waveforms themselves. However, as you can see below I'm trying to add the single waveform arrays into one 2D array then write to waveform spreadsheet file, where each column represents each DAQ channel. Do you know how I can accomplish this?

How to edit vocal waveforms to overcome sibilance and plosives

I know there are some tricks to dealing with sibilance and plosives (there's a great article on this on EQ's website <http://www.eqmag.com/article/vocal-cords-removing/jan-08/33059>, but one thing I can't quite figure out is how to edit a waveform through GB. So far, I've not been able to do much other than slightly trim a bit of the beginning of the waveform, but I invariably cut too much off at the top of the "esses" so that it sounds like a "ts", which is not what I am going for at all.
Any technical help on how to edit waveforms through GB? Or is this an impossible dream? I have both a Blue Snowball USB mic and an Audio-Technica M4000S, and my mic budget is already tapped out after getting a Line 6 USB interface (TonePort GX) and the mic adapters I needed to plug my mic into the interface. I also have a pop filter, which could help but I can't quite get the vocal presence I need if I sing from four inches away so it's basically no good regardless of which mic I use.

The editing of the waveform is a good way to fix sibilance at times, but it's really hard to do in GB because the way the wave is rendered in the track. You can zoom in really close and try to do it using the volume automation, but the way the waveform is rendered in the editing window is much better, you can zoom in and find the point where the plosive is happening, but the problem is that you can't set the volume points in the editing window, you can only do that in the track. What you might want to try is editing the vocal track that needs fixing, by itself in an audio editor like Audacity(you can get it for free here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/about/features )using the volume envelope in the sections where the plosives occur. Then drag that file back into your Garageband project. It's similar to riding the fader on a mix, a technique for adjusting the vocal to minimize popping in a recording. Of course it's always better to avoid them in the first place, and I usually position my pop filter as close as possible to the mic, maybe 1/2" away, and sing right up close to the pop filter, when I want a close-up vocal. But if you use an external editor with Garageband, you can fix tracks that have some popping you need to get out.

Spaces between DIV - How do you remove or adjust them?

I'm having trouble understanding the following.
How do you remove the space between the DIV. There is a space
between the Banner DIV, Main Content DIV and Footer DIV as shown in
the
Demo Page.
How do you adjust these spaces? I have tried all I know.
Please take a look at the codes by clicking the link below.
http://www.nucenturemusic.com/pr_wst2.html
I have created a demo page to illustrate this problem, or
should I say my lack of knowledge.
The space is between the Banner DIV, Main Content DIV and the
Footer DIV.
Thanks very much for you help.
Patrick

Murry,
I agree and I'm still learning. But in the context of the
current discussion it seems it would squish all the <p>
without the addition of your approach.
I know when I begin to add text to a new div that these
<p> tags are automatically inserted and cause the extra space
the OP referenced.
Is the correct approach then to add a descendant selector or
remove the <p> or remargin the <p>?
Thoughts? Thanks.

Itunes match how do you to select multiple songs or do you click each one

In ITunes match how do you to select multiple songs to download to pc or do you have to click each one.

First make sure you have the current version of iTunes, which is actually 10.5.1. I had to manually download it from apples website, for some reason, it wouldnt auto-update.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Once that is complete, go to the iTunes store. In the Quick Links secion to the right, you should see iTunes Match. This will prompt you to activate your subscription to iTunes match. After that it should ask you to add your computer and once youve done that, it should begin the process of scanning your library and adding it to the cloud
Alternatively, once you activate your subscription, you can also go to the Store dropdown menu in iTunes and select Turn On iTunes Match.
