How do you generate a CHIRP Signal?

The Chirp signal should generate a sine wave whose frequency increases at a linear rate with time

The attached library (LabVIEW 6i or higher) includes different VIs that can help you perform sweep-based measurement, including a VI to generate a linear sweep (chirp). Note that the generation VI can generate your chirp in "one shot" or in multiple chunks (multiple runs) if you sweep is very long. You can use the reset control to re-start your sweep at any time. So the VI is functionally totally equivalent to any generation VI in the Analyze>>Waveform Generation palette. I hope this will work for you.

How can you post comments during signal aquisition?

How can you post comments during signal aquisition? For example, while acquiring your signal, you want to post a comment which the temperature reads at "30 seconds" from your relative start time (t=34 sec into recording)
I have the LE package where events, alarms, etc cannot be used. Are there other ways that the user can mark an "event" during recording?

Hey hkim,
If you know how long it will be before you want a message to pop up you can simply include a sequence structure and in the first sequence have a wait time of your desired length and have the message pop up and display in the second sequence frame.

How will you generate the work schedule in live system

How will you generate the live system
Appreciate for sppedy answer

Your live system must be open for table changes if you want to generate your work schedule rules - this will need to be done by your basis team.
Usually, work schedule rules are generated in development and transported through to production. The generation is performed by using program RPTSHF00 (or transaction code OG00). You generate as a batch with the 'BTCI = ''/online, ='A' or 'E'"field set to E. This will save the generation to a transport. If you have a lot of work schedule rules, you may need to split the generation over more than one transport.

How do you generate an executable in LabVIEW 8.6?

How do you generate an executable in LabVIEW 8.6? A point to a web site would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

In version 8.0 and above you must create a LV project first. Once
you have created a project you can right click on build specifications
located at the bottom of the project window. Select
new>>application. This will allow you to create the exe. If you
want to create an installer then you must follow the same process.
They are now separate.
To find more information goto
the help menu in a LV window and select "search the LabVIEW help" When
the window pops up select the index tab and type the following:
"building, applications (how-to)" This should give you the information
you need.
Hope this helps.

How do you generate a dynamic prompt in BO

Hi,
can anyone answer this question?
How do you generate a dynamic prompt?

Hi,
Dynamic prompt means user can enter value at run time (Report Refresh Time).
You can create dynamic prompt by drag one object in the webi query filter part and select as a prompt.
or on the universe level define the pre-defined condition and use that in the webi report.
Thanks,

How do I generate a RAMP signal w/ SigEx and SCXI for MTS-407 hydraulic controllers.

I'm trying to generate a +/-10v full scale ramp signal to pass through two channels simultaneously. This signal will be used as external function [generator] for two MTS-407 servo/hydraulilc controllers connected to a single specimen. When I hit the "Start" button I need the function generator to generate a ramp (rate and amplitude) and pass this voltage off to both 407's.
My first question I guess is: do I need a special SCXI module to access the NI-FGEN output signals or can these signals be passed through the DAQ card via the SCXI 1302 and Feedthrough panel?
More question to follow...
SCXI- 1000 Chassis w/ 1346 adapter
PCI 6281 DAQ card
SCXI- 1520 Bridge Board w/ 1314 Terminal Block (x2)
SCXI- 1180 Feedthrough Panel w/ 1302 Block
Signal Express 2012.

Hello,
I am trying to do something similar to what you mention. I trying to use a labview program with a NI PXI-8106 and NI-PXI 6251 card to send a signal to a 407 controller through the external program BNC connector.
When trying the software I don't get any signal send or response in the actuator.
How did you solve this problem?
Do I need special hardware?
Please any help is appreciated
Mi software is attached.

How to continously generate a voltage signal with dynamic amplitude.

Hello all,
I am looking for ideas and pointers (help in other words). I would like to generate a voltage signal (sine for example) on a AO of my NI cRIO-9263 (DAQmx). The signal should be:
continuous (without jumps ie. smooth)
dynamically able to be change the amplitude, frequency and sampling rate.
interuptable so that the AO can be turned off.
I have tried to use the DAQ Assistant but once it runs in continous mode, I have the impression that the waveform should not be changed. Is there maybe a way where I send repeatedly N samples of the waveform to the AO and gain more control over the signal that way. But if I do that how can I ensure that the signal is continous?
Further more this output has to be generated in an event application ie. in the background.
Your ideas and input is appreciated. Thanks, Bernie

How can you segment an audio signal according to the pitch periods?

hello
i was wondering if someone could give me some pointers as to how can i segment a sound signal according to the pitch periods present in the signal.i have already estimated the pitch periods and i want now to segment the signal according to those periods and multiply them by a uniform windowing function of twice the segment's length
anybody can help?
regards
madgreek

Hi madgreek,
I would highly recommend that you search our Forums and Developer Zone to look for additional help. If you are not able to find any information, you can post your VI and we should be able to troubleshoot the issue.

How do you generate a 16-bit non-repetitive TTL pattern on the PXI-5411?

I'm using the signal coming out from the 16-bit digital terminal on the front panel of the PXI-5411. I was wondering how to send a digital WORD or pattern through the outputs where the pattern is non-periodic through a short period of time?
Thanks

The 16 bit output corrosponds to the buffer that is output via the arb. use the random number generator -.5*32768 to generate a random bit patttern as deep as you need.

How can you generate Multiple random numbers from 1 to 49?

I am very new at programming with the iPhone SDK and I need some help with a project I am working on. What I want to do is set up a window with 6 labels and 1 button. When the user clicks the button, the program will populate 6 randomized numbers each ranging from 1 to 49, and then place each of 6 numbers in a label. But each time the program ends and starts again the numbers cannot be the same, and also when the user clicks the button, no label can have the same number twice, so for example. If label 1 had the number 10, the other 5 labels cannot have that number until the button is clicked again. I know how to set up the interface, I just need the code. I would so greatly appreciate someone's help in this matter. I have been trying to do this for days and I cannot figure it out. Possibly someone who knows tons about Objective C programming can help me!
Thank-you so very much!!

I see that you're writing a lottery number generator. Perhaps the easiest way to do it is to emulate a real lottery: fill an array (NSMutableArray, probably) with the numbers between 1 and 49, pick one at random, remove that number from the array, and repeat. (You can think of the numbers as being the balls and the array as being the machine that pops them out.)
One simple way to get the random indices needed is to extract six random bytes from Randomization Services using SecRandomCopyBytes, then loop over them, using the modulo operator (%) to select an index within the size of the array.
And no, I'm not going to write your code for you. If I was going to do that, I could package and sell the app myself.

How do you generate a runtime class for iconFunction from a BitmapData?

Hi,
I have a AdvancedDataGrid that I would like to generate a colored square bitmap as the icon, and give it to iconFunction.
But iconFunction required the return of Class, but I have the BitmapData generated, can anyone provide a solution? Thanks.
Here is my code :
private function iconCallBack(item:Object):Class
    var layerNode:LayerItemVO = item as LayerItemVO;
    var iconBitmap:BitmapData = new BitmapData (14, 14, false, layerNode.color); //generated the bitmap based on the passed in color
     return iconBitmap; // wrong, because it needs to return Class, please help?
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="layer_datagrid" iconFunction="iconCallBack" >

Thanks for the reply.
Can you provide me some sample code as how to use the custom renderer for drawing the colored square in front of the item name?
Thanks.

How do you generate multiple random numbers between 1 and 49

I am new at mac programming and I want to make an iPhone app with the free SDK. What I would like to try is a random number generator. I imagine it as when the user clicks a button 6 random numbers from 1 to 49 would appear in a label or another control. If someone could please give me the code that would place these randomized numbers in a label I would greatly appreciate it. I know how to link all the controls together, I just need the code. Thank-you to anyone that can help!

semi-sudo code goes here
--prepare and array which will have number from 0 to 49
--loop thru the array like this
int i=0
for (i; i<=49; i++) {
int a=arc4random() % 49] ;
int b=arc4random() % 49];
--here exchange the objects so that they are shuffled
[myArray exchangeObjectAtIndex:a withObjectAtIndex:b];

How do you generate random data info using json and spry?

I have a mobile applicaton that uses spry datasets that dynamically populate a jquery mobile listview by using a json file. Everything is operating as it should.
However, I would like to understand how to pull random objects from the json file to have them displayed on a different page.
My json file is standard and not complicated. It has several levels. Each is represented as below:
                              { "Level1":
                                                            {"imageurl":"images/_myimage.png",
                                                            "someData":"S,A,P,R",
                                                            "levelLongDesc":"further description",
                                                            "name": "John Doe",
                                                            "page": "referencepage",
                                                            "description":"The description of the image"
{"imageurl":"images/_myimage.png",
"someData":"S,A,P,R",
"levelLongDesc":"further description",
"name": "John Doe",
"page": "referencepage",
"description":"The description of the image"
Json file Level1 has about 70 objects
What I would like to do is randomly load one of the Level1 object arrays into the page when the user selects a Level 1 radio button that is on the screen. I know how to create the page, radio buttons and basics, but just don't know how to pull in the random data.
I've found one code sample on this site that speaks to spry and xml, but I haven't been able to apply it in any way that works for me with the json file:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/662551
I've also googled. There isn't much on spry datasets with json and generating random info. There was a little bit on sorting, but that didn't help either.
Does anyone have a good example/tutorial of how to use the random function with spry/json?
TIA
-Rachel

I've done similar things before. A few thoughts for you:
1. I'm assuming you're doing a buffered period or frequency measurement on the incoming encoder pulses, right? First key point is that you'll have data that is spaced equally in position, but not equally in time. If you are looking for a time-based FFT such that increasing speed will shift your spectrum, you're going to need to go through an interpolation process to resample your data as though equally-spaced in in time.
2. Your 149 pulse per rev encoder may be a significant source of error unless its 149 pulses are placed with extreme accuracy. Any error in pulse placement violates your underlying assumption of data that is equally-spaced in position. It'll be very helpful to send your data through a software lowpass filter to attenuate those artifacts.
3. I am not sure what you mean by "decompose the buffered data (array) into a single datastream." You'll get an array of periods / frequencies from the call to DAQmx Read. If you want to use it in a LabVIEW waveform datatype, you'll first need to do the resampling to create equally-spaced-in-time data. The LabVIEW waveform datatype (and all the analysis functions like FFT that use it) depend on receiving data with a fixed constant time interval between samples.

How do I generate custom-made signals (impulses) from the parallel port

I am trying to generate some simple pulses to drive an external device. I am sure this is simple, but I'm not sure how to do it in LabView. I need to generate to TTL-level (2.4 - 5v) pulses that are spaced 500ms apart and occur every 34 seconds (that's the period).
Any suggestions?

ilogix-
The easiest way to write to the serial port in LabVIEW is with the Port Out.vi. You can find the help info here. You can find the address of the parallel port in the properties (located in Control Panel>>System>>Hardware Tab>>Device Manager) under the Resources tab. IT is the first number in the I/O range property (usually 0378).
This is a digital line and the parallel port is written as a byte so your labVIEW program will need to write a byte, delay and write another byte to get a "waveform".
