How should Sensirion SHT71 be wired to SCB-68A connector block?

Hi all,
I just got a Sensirion SHT71 for humidity measurement. I am new to digital I/O field so I feel unclear about how to connect this sensor to the DAQ.
The DAQ I am using is PXI-6225 hooked up with a SCB-68A connector block.
And the sensor has 4 pins (1-SCK: Serial Clock, 2-VDD: Source Voltage, 3-GND, 4-DATA (bidirectional))
Detailed manual can be found here http://www.sensirion.com/nc/en/products/humidity-temperature/download-center/?cid=8574&did=68&sechas...
So I am wondering what are the corresponding connectors on SCB-68A to those pins of the sensor. I can see the GND goes to the D GND for sure and the VDD is supposed to be connected to +5V. And I am not sure to which two connectors SCK and DATA should connect...
Reference label of SCB-68A can be found here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/$CXIV/ATTACH-AEEE-8ZRTL5/$FILE/S_Series.pdf
Thanks.

Hello abright,
I have been looking at your case the whole day, analizing the circuitry of your application.
From what i can tell from the Reference label of SCB-68A : http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/$CXIV/ATTACH-AEEE-8ZRTL5/$FILE/S_Series.pdf and the user manual: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/375865a.pdf and the datasheet of your sensor, I can see that the output is a current signal. there we must create a simple circuit so that the DAQ device can be able to read the values. From what I can see of the datasheet, the output is digital therefore we need a Digital input to read the measurements, therefore on page 4-9 and page 4-10 of the user manual you can see the circuitry used to read digital inputs of a sensor. therefore what we can try to do is connect the sensor output to a a resistor in order to see the output voltage across this resistor. Simple Ohm's Law V=RI. Therefore you can see wherethe DATA which will be the output pin will be connected to pin 11. As for the SCK it is only used to sync the sensor to the measurement device, therefore I would assume that pin 10 which corresponds to PFI 1/AI REF TRIG which will be the reference trigger will be used to sync both of devices in case you need this configuration. VDD will be the source of energy for the sensor. i would suggest not to use the full 5V, I can recall seeing something like this on the web about not connecting the sensor to the full 5V. and GND is the reference voltage. For the pin out configuration please check the Figure 4-13. SCB-68A Circuit Diagram for Digital Input Attenuation on the user's manual.
If you have further questions regarding the pin out of the device please let me know.
Kind regards,

Wiring a SCB-68 to measure the frequency of a TTL pulse signal

Sorry if this is a basic question but could someone please help me and tell me how to wire up a SCB-68 connector block (connected to a AT-MIO-16 DAQ board) so that I can measure the frequency count of a series TTL pulses (signal from photon counting). At the moment I don't understand how the PFI1-9 connections are related to the GPCTR0/GPTR1 counter connections on the block and how they're all realted to the source,gate and out 1-5 connections on the DAQ board.
Ultimately I want to be able to put this measured frequency into a Labview program with a controllable gate period.
Thanks in advance
Nick

You might want to search the Knowledge Base on the NI's Support Pages for "Cable Mapping for a 68 Pin Connector to a 50 Pin Connector". This should take you to a link that will explain the mapping of a 50way to 68way cable and subsequent lines you are looking for ( reference sub link 68F50M), I guess you have SH6850 cable connected from the AT-MIO16 card to the SCB-68.
Please check out the information about the pin outs, that should help you work out which pins map to the counters, eg GPCTR0_source would be pin 37 on your SCB-68

How do I make a wired connection to my Airport Extreme that will share the same network as any wireless connection to it?

Here's the set up.
I have a cable router into the house and then an Airport Extreme connected to it. Everything connects wirelessly to the Airport Extreme apart from one computer in the same room as it, which I wired into the AE with a cable (it's a gaming PC and has no wireless).
How can I get that wired machine to use the same network as all the other wireless devices? When I plug the cable into it, the gaming PC only picks up the network being created by the cable box which I don't use.

There is nothing stopping you connecting to the wireless computers if you have sharing turned on..
How can I get that wired machine to use the same network as all the other wireless devices? When I plug the cable into it, the gaming PC only picks up the network being created by the cable box which I don't use.
I don't quite follow this..
If the cable modem is a router.. the AE must be in bridge mode..
So all routing is handled by the cable modem router.. and the wireless clients will all be in the same IP range as the PC is.. please check that by opening the PC command window and type ipconfig /all
Then go to one of the wireless devices and check that it also has the same IP range.. eg,, 192.168.x.x and same router or gateway address eg 192.168.1.1 and same DNS.. which is the same as the router address..
Then in the command window of the PC use the command ping to see if the other devices respond.. ping it by name or by IPaddress.
If there is no response.. windows has decided it is in a public network.. and slammed up the firewalls.. make sure your network is set as home for location.. and make sure the firewalls .. you can have multiple if you have an internet security package are not blocking local network access.
Also remember PC and Mac in a network can take a bit of fiddling to see each other. But ping should always respond and in both directions.

How should my VIs look?

I'm relatively new to LabVIEW and as I'm building bigger and bigger VIs with multiple subVIs, etc. I've been wondering what makes a good "looking" program. Basically... how should I organize it so that it's readable and makes sense to another person.
Is there any where I can find some good examples of this with some more complicated programs? I did a quick search and didn't find anything, but please let me know if you know of anything. Thanks.

At first, this looks good, your wiring is clean and easy to follow the data flow. I've some worse code in my own projects.
So let's see where/how you can reduce the overall BD size.
The timed loop has some empty space between code and checking the exit condition.
The VISA code is a good candidate for SubVIs, especially the VSET command could be a single reusable SubVI that takes a dbl. Same for the ISET
You also can make SubVIs without intending them for reuse. I think about a XNET/CAN Init.vi. Would save a lot of real estate.
Test Info Names could be a Constant.vi (so just the constant feeding an indicator). Might be reusable if you read from the TDMS at another place. I also use small VI Icons for such VI's, about half the size of a normal 32x32 icon. You need to make the 256 and the BW color Icon of a reduced size, then the outer part is made transparent.
Use clusters, e.g. max volts, min volts, volt inc, set amps could go into one cluster. You can make the borders transparent, so it doesn't look like a cluster on the FP. Helps you to make that code a SubVi as you only need a single control (the cluster). Make the cluster a type def so you only need to change the type def and not SubVI and FP.
Same place, consider using a dialog for setting up the measurement. Then all can go into a single vi (including the FP code/indicator).
I think that using SubVIs will also get down a second optical 'bug', that you have a very highly nested structure (look at the bottom right corner and see that you have 4 error catching case structures). I normally place the error catching case around my event structure. Maybe this already gets you rid of one. Also I think some of them are unnecessary, as code isn't executed with an error on the wire (e.g. the TDMS and VISA vi's won't do anything when called with an error).
As an alternative, use a state machine that basically just goes Init CAN -> Init Visa device -> Run -> Shutdown with branches to an error handling state or to the shutdown state (e.g. if cancelled by the user).
Other points to change:
The run button is outside the coresponding event frame. Place it inside the event frame to get the latching working.
Error handling. The outer while loop has no shift registers on the error wire and no abort if an error occures, so you will drop errors without noticing.

How should i do?when i use the sc2345 for analog signal acquired!

please help me！
I have to use the sc2345+NI6221 for analog signal acquired. but i don't have a analog input module such as SCC-AIXX.
So I want to pass the signal to the DAQ device. how should i do to connect the wire on the sc2345？
how can I use the sc2345 for a pass connector？
Thank you very much and look forward to your reply...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What kind of signal do you want to acquire?
If it does not need any conditioning, then, you can connect the signal to 6221 with a terminal block such as SCB-68.

I'm not sure I understand your question really, but one thing for sure is that you need Lion for iCloud to work.

You should be able to just place them in your Books library in iTunes and check to ensure that your Book library is configured to sync to your iPod when you sync your iPod to iTunes.

How should I set GPG to use with KMail or even rather Thunderbird?

In the last 3 hours I tried to set Thunderbird (Enigmail) and KMail to use my GPG key. I failed.
I made the keypairs with Kgpg, installed enigmail, restarted the Thunderbird, set everything, but TB didn't asked for password, only gave an error message that it can't use gpg in batch mode and the password is wrong:
gpg parancssor és kimenet:
/usr/bin/gpg
gpg: Probléma van az ügynökkel. Letiltom a használatát.
gpg: can't query passphrase in batch mode
gpg: Érvénytelen jelszó. Próbálja újra...
gpg: can't query passphrase in batch mode
gpg: Érvénytelen jelszó. Próbálja újra...
gpg: can't query passphrase in batch mode
gpg: skipped "<my e-mail>": rossz jelszó
gpg: [stdin]: sign+encrypt failed: rossz jelszó - its in Hungarian, it says: Problem with the agent. Disabling use. Wrong password. Try again.
I read a lot and all I found is that I have to disable the use of gpg-agent in Enigmail's settings, but it was alredy disabled, despite I got this message:
"Your system uses gpg-agent or a similar tool for passphrase handling (gpg-agent is mandatory if GnuPG v2.0 or later is used). Since caching of passphrases is handled by gpg-agent, the respective timeout settings in OpenPGP are disregarded. In order to change passphrase caching options, please configure your gpg-agent tool."
After many pages I gave up, it seems it cannot be solved.
So I tried KMail. But KMail didn't ask password, too. Google, searching. I found that I should install pinentry-qt. Well, pinentry is already installed and I have pinentry, pinentry-qt and pinentry-qt4, too. So I searched for another solution. Then I found that I should use gpg-agent (I used it already according to Thunderbird) and I have to write use-agent to .gnupg/gpg.conf. It was already there. Then I found that I have to make a file, .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf whit this content:
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt4
no-grab
default-cache-ttl 1800
So I made it. After this I add the eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" to my .xinitrc, as it was written in many posts. I logged out and in. Still no luck.
The gpg-agent in terminal says:
gpg-agent: gpg-agent running and available
I tried a test I found on forums: echo "test" | gpg -ase -r 0xDEADBEEF | gpg. It says:
1024-bit RSA key, ID CFF2728D, created 2011-05-17 (main key ID CD35B00C)
gpg: problem with the agent -disabling agent use.
Then it asks the passphrase. I type it in, but then a message appears that I didn't have any public key.
I tried to disable gpg-agent, but didn't helped. Thunderbird said:
"can't connect to `/tmp/gpg-y2XPqU/S.gpg-agent': Kapcsolat elutasítva
gpg: Nem tudok kapcsolódni "/tmp/gpg-y2XPqU/S.gpg-agent" objektumhoz: connect failed" - connection refused. Can't connect to /tmp... object.
KMail simply says bad passphrase.
So. How can I use GPG? What should I do, how should I start? Is it possible at all? I just wanted to sign and encrypt e-mails. It seemed very easy.
ps.: all the installed softwares are up to dated. And sorry about the mistakes in my English, if any!

How should I reformat my external hard drive?

I have just purchased a new 21.5" iMac and I will be moving from PC to iMac. I currently have a 2.5TB external hard drive which I have connected to my PC laptop that I use to store and watch movies. My question is how should I format/partition my external hard drive so that I can use it with my new iMac? The external hard drive will solely be used with my new iMac (it won't be connected/used with my laptop again) and I am ok with losing the data on the external hard drive as I have backed up the data currently on it onto another hard drive. I have tried to research what format to use but I am a little confused as to which one is the best and I am looking for some advice.

Turn off My PhotoStream in iCloud on both the iPad and the Mac. PhotoStream is what shares your photos (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta, in which case, all photos uploaded are accessible from all devices signed onto the same Apple/iCloud ID).

Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty. And it seems there is much accidental damage. Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs.

With all you media (apps, music) in the iTunes library connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup.
Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

Old Macbook to New Macbook Air Transfer but new Macbook Air has less Storage Space. I only want to keep all iTunes and iPhoto Files. I can keep the rest on an External HD. How should I do this?

Bought a New Macbook Air and wanting to transfer only iTunes and iPhoto stuff to the new Macbook Air. How should I do this? Ive got and External HD acting as Time Machine but the Data on there is 143G worth and the New Macbook Air is a 128G HD. So i dont need all the extra Documents but want to keep them on the External HD which has been Partitioned.
Question is - How do I transfer the iTunes and iPhoto info into the New Macbook air and keep all its settings ect and also keep the Docs ect in the HD? Time Machine wont work as there is too much info for the New Macbook Air.
What should I do?

In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"
