How long does it take to write 10,000 fractional numbers to a file by Laview?

I am using an oscilloscope to monitor a voltage siganl continuously for a long time (an hour). there is going to be some instresting signal which lasts only several hundreds microseconds. but we don't know when it is going to happen. So in practice, we save the data fetched from the scope first; then go back to look at the data after the experiments finished. that is why we have to monitor continuously and for a long time. so what is the minimum time to write 10,000 data? because we don't want to miss the intresting signal.

tz0003;
It will take just a couple of miliseconds to save that amount of data to a text file.
Use the attached VI to test it yourself.

How long does it take to write data from network analyzer

I am using LabVIEW to control two DC power supplies through GPIB-USB and I have a DAQ-6008 generating 8-bit digital output. I am connecting two DC power supplies and the 8-bit digital signal to my circuit and want to measure s parameters (all S11, S12, S21, S22) and write their magnitude and phase to a .txt file in my laptop. It worked but took about 1.5 minutes to write data (magnitude and phase of four s parameters) for a fixed DAQ output and fixed DC voltage by only sweeping 6 points. Is it a reasonable time? Because eventually I will have more than ten thousand combinations and need to record s parameters for all these combinations and it will take too long. I would like to know which part spends more time or how I can reduce the time to write four s parameters. Thanks a lot.

Hello yll,
-So you mean I should delete some of the controls
in the front panel and make them a fixed value or default in the block
diagram to reduce the front panel controls
What Dennis is saying is that your front panel controls are only read once by your program. The are read at the beginning and the value is passed into the while loop. This is the value that will be used, even if you change the front panel. You can verify this by using highlight execution.
-What does it mean that I am
resetting the instrument each time?
Everytime you call the initialize VI, you send a command for the instrument to reset. This is not necessary, since you want your settings to remain for the entire program. You can reset it when you "first" start using it, but as your program keeps going, you do not need to reset it.
-Do I need the initialize VI and
close VI in every iteration or I should have them out of the loops so
all the instrument are initialized and closed only once throughout the
entire process?
That is exactly what you should do.
-For the network analyzer, when you said I only need the
VIs from initialize.vi to read data.vi (the second one from the end),
do you mean that I can delete the close.vi? and why does it make the
program faster?
You should probably add the close outside the loop, as good practise. I would still put the initialize outside the loop.
I hope this helps.

How long does it take to write spectralview

I am trying to modify the functions of the spectraview to my own needs. However i am unable to edit the spectralview that was created. What is the approximate time to develop spectralview

Where did you buy this program? SpectralView is not a product that we make. Maybe it is this product:

How long does it take Premier Elements 11 to index project ?

Ah, at the authoring stage. Thank you.
That will depend on several factors: the Duration of the Timeline, the Source Footage on that Timeline, and then the speed of the computer.
In the intital authoring phases, the biggest bottleneck will be the CPU's speed, and the installed RAM, when it comes time to write the Transcoded files, just before the actual burn, then the I/O (HDD's, controller type, speed, etc.) will be the biggest bottleneck. Once everything is ready for the burn, then it's just up to the speed of the burner and the blank media used, but that is a tiny part of the total time.
Good luck,
Hunt

HT1498 How long does it take to download a @#$@#% movie! It has been at it for over an hour. Seriously? Who has hours to wait around BEFORE watching a movie? It now says 2 hours 4 minutes. Unbelievable! This is the worst way to rent movies!

How long does it take to download a @#$@#% movie! It has been at it for over an hour. Seriously? Who has hours to wait around BEFORE watching a movie? It now says 2 hours 4 minutes. Unbelievable! This is the worst way to rent movies!

I see you keep saying that vazandrew on different forums, but there is more going on here than dns settngs and available bandwidth..
i have my dns settings set to the local isp. get 8mbps through speed test.. more often than not i can download an HD movie immediately, and SD movie has no issues at all..
But tonight.. even though as i write this i have disabled all other devices on my network and am still getting my 8mbps downlod from speed test.. Ive just paid for Pacfic Rim.. it played immediately, but got to 46 minutes, and simply stopped.. i backed out resumed play and it bounced to 9 hours before i can watch.. i reset my modem/router, restarted the apple tv and its now currently sitting on 106 hours..
my guess is it's the akamai network doing something stuipid.. this is a regular occurence and if you look deep enough, many people complain of the same issue...
the worst thing about apple is i cant get a refund.. the second worst thing about apple even though im a huge fan, there is absolotely no point me writing this because apples first point of call is to blame the end user and other enviromental factors, meanwhile covering their own ***.. I've spent the last 18 years of my work life building and supporting IT/IS infrastructure.. so im not a dumb ***.. this is an apple issue, plain and simple.. maybe time to switch to amazon or azure.

How long does it take to create a recovery disc?

Hi!!!
I have just bought a Toshiba Portege T110.
I tried the first time round and cancelled at disc 4 bec i was out of writeable disc.
Today i am on my 2nd try. I have mgt disc 1-3. When at disc 4~~it says is creating Windon Recovery Environment (64bit) and recording. But the progress bar has been hanging there for the abt 1-2hrs and still not done yet~~
I tried to cancel the program, but it says is recording and advise me not to cancel as it will take a long time.
Can some kind soul advise if this is normal? How long does it takes? If not, what could be the problem?
Thank you in advance!!!

Hi all~~
i have the answer to my question alrdy~~
i accidentatly canceled the copying after waiting over 2 hr on disc 4~~
I restarted the process this morning~~~as i have alrdy done disc 1-3~~i am able to start at disc 4 straight away!!!
Disc 4 took less then 10 mins to complete.
So guys~~ the whole process from disc 1 to 4 takes less than 1 hr.
All the best to you guys!!
And Merry Christmas!!

"How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?"

Yesterday there was a question in the USALUG.org "How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?"
This question was a good question, so I decide to make the ultimate test. I have a lot of computers standing here around, and remembered that on one of them was have already Archlinux installation. I was right, when I booted, the system check said me, that the system was 253 days not checked anymore. I got so excited that I forgot to check was it one of my 0.7.2 Gimmick or 0.8 Voodoo installations.

And for your tread question.
How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?
one hour

After reboot the system loads all new applications with out any problem. Later I replaced the intel-video driver "xf86-video-i810 1.7.4-6" with the driver xf86-video-intel 2.2.0-2. No problems at all.

definitely. By contrast, here's a regular upgrade on my debian box -- out of the blue it's having some problem with one of the packages, and it's turning into a regular recursive nightmare.

It's so "delicate" and temperamental compared to the no-nonsense, straightforward approach of Arch. If one little thing is off, the entire system has a hissy-fit and won't do anything until you hunt the internet high and low searching for a solution, encountering all the debian hawks along the way who are ready to rip your head off at the first suggestion that debian isn't directly from god and could have a problem. Imo, Arch is the best linx distro hands down. Nothing else even comes close.

So how long does it take to load a 160GB iPod using the Convert Higher ...

I have a 160GB Gen 5 that I bought when first released back in the day when they were $400. Through a number of changes, the most recent being the advent of the Convert Higher Bitrate Songs to 128bit AAC feature, I decided to look at what more music I could store. After all was said and done, I ended up with a bit of a disaster with cover art not being properly applied to the music being played. I decided to *restore the ipod* based on suggestions in the discussion boards, and equally important was following the hints and tips here.
http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp
The advice is especially important in very large library situations to ensure you have uniqueness in the albums you want to display. Hadn't really given it much thought until I had the ability to see the individual albums for the 40K songs on the iPod via the cover art view.
Finally the point of the post...
*So how long does it take to load a 160GB iPod using the Convert Higher Bitrate option now available in iTunes 9.1?* The specs on my computer are not highend by any stretch, but it's no slouch, and neither of the CPUs are ever pegged. At this point I've lost count of how much time it's taken, but the load is going on 3-4 days. With some breaks in between because I need to check each incremental load to verify there is no cover art corruption, correct bad tags and such, but for the most part the loading is visibly slow, and I'm sure the conversion is the cause. I'm not really complaining at this point, but there is clearly room for improvement. And of course unless there is a redo involved in which case I will get quite cranky.
*I would like to hear the experiences of others.*
Finally to lend a bit more credence to the performance concern, my 32GB iPhone 3GS for only about say 28GB of music takes about 24 hrs to load from a 2.2GHz dual core intel laptop, again using the convert higher bitrate option.

With AC power adapter it takes 3-4 hours for a full charge. With the USB charger it takes 9-0 hours for a full charge. I am not happy with them removing the AC charger and other accessoreis at all. It's business but it still stinks.
I know I would rethink my purchase but would most likely end up buying the Micro anyway

How long does it take for Apple to send the content code for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion?

Has anyone managed to successfully receive the content code in their email for a free ugprade to Mountain Lion?
I bought my MBP on 14 July so I qualified for the free upgrade. Went to the website and filled in the form along with my serial number about 2 nights ago. Still haven't received my content code yet. How long does it take? Should I be speaking to someone already? Who?
Thanks.

We are being advised it can take up to 72 hours !

Time machine migration, how long does it take?

Im going to migrate to another mac using time machine, how long does it take (time machine/main hdd in the old mac was at about 700gb capacity)

There is no way of determining that. The time is dependent on a number of different factors.

How long does it take to get my X61 checked from water spill?

Hi,
I had spilled some water into my X61 yesterday.
Though I instantly shut it down and try to clean, I was too stupid to try to boot it in ten minutes.
Not sure if it is "OK" right now....
Does anyone have the same experience?
Could you share how long does it take you to have your laptop shipped and checked at lenovo repair center?
Thanks a lot!

do you have accidental damage warranty? if you don't then you will incur a hefty bill. The check up should not take more than 5 days including shipping, provided that no parts need to changed, if there is parts that are required, then depending on the parts availability, you could wait up to a month or two.
Regards,
Jin Li
May this year, be the year of 'DO'!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET iPHOTO BOOK?

I would like to order my first HARD COVER book and since I am not living in USA, my friend would bring the book back to Europe.
But the only problem is that, she will be there only two days, so the book must be at the address, she will be living on 9th of February.
When do I need to place the order? How long does it take to get the album?
Thank you for your help.

Can't say - no idea where it is going to or what will be going on them
If it were me I'd say that the extra cost was a cheap insurance policy against external forces messing things up - but you make that decision
Waiting three days to order and shipping ground rather than express will increase the chances of it not making it - probably still 95% + (guessing of course) that it will but every day you wait makes the chances less and not using the fastest shipping also increases the chances of failure
If money is the issue then ordering today rather than Wed would be a good idea to me
Good Luck
