How to automate and record droplet measurements in LabVIEW?

Hello,
I am struggling to find a more efficient method of data treatment. Currently I collect data with a LabVIEW program, import into Windows movie maker frame by frame, transfer each frame to Vision Assistant, and manually measure each droplet (one by one ). It is okay for the first few, but when it gets to about 50 and into the 100's, then I get a little frustrated. I know there is a way to expedite my collection/measurement process and make it more efficient! Possibly a way to perform all the necessary functions in one shot. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I have a feeling it can be done, just not the know-how. Useful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, this would be better on the Vision forum. Try searching/posting here: Machine Vision
And please post back here with the new thread link so we can follow this thread to the new one.
It would also be helpful to know what kind of data you are collecting and how you are importing it to Windows Movie Maker and then transferring it to Vision Assistant...as it is unclear if you are pulling images and creating an AVI and then post processing. Are you doing all of this programmatically, or manually transferring/importing? Please add these to your new post.
Thanks!

How to create and read text file using LabVIEW 7.1 PDA module?

How to create and read text file using LabVIEW 7.1 PDA module? I can not create a text file and read it.

Well my acquisition code runs perfect. The problem is reading it. I can't seem to read my data no matter what I do. My data gets saved as a string using the array to string vi but I've read that the string to array vi (which I need to convert back to array to read my data) does not work on the pda. I'm using version 8.0. So I was trying to modify the program posted in this discussion so that it would save data from my DAQ. I did that but I still can't read the data after its saved. I really don't know what else to do. All I need to do is read the data on the pda itself. I can't understand why I'm having such a hard time doing that. I found a possible solution on another discussion that talks about parsing the strings because of the bug in the "string to array" vi. However, that lead me to another problem because for some reason, the array indicators or graphs don't function on the pda. When i build the program to the pda or emulator, the array indicators are faded out on the front panel as if the function is not valid. Does this kind of help give a better picture of what I'm trying to do. Simply read data back. Thanks.

How to publish and record video stream in h.264 format

I'm a fresher. I want to publish and record video stream in h.264 and audio stream in AAC format .
Does flash player support to publish video stream in h.264 format ?
And which version of flash player and FMS could implement this function ?
Thank you very much.

The Flashplayer does not support h264 or AAC publishing. The Flashplayer supports only h.263 (sorenson spark) video, and Nellymoser Asao and Speex audio.
If you want to publish h.264 you'll need to use Flash Media Live Encoder, or a third party encoder.

Generating sound signal and record the timing using labview

Hi,
can somebody help me in generating audio o/p from daq 6036 and record the same signal for reference.

Kanth,
I think you will find there are lots of topics already on the forums talking about trying to do this.
Here are a couple of examples:
Forum: Continuous audio output with varying volume or frequency
Forum: How do I get audio output from a labview program
Probably the easiest way is to search the forums for what you are looking for:
Search Results on forums.ni.com for 'audio' and 'output'
Finally, here is an example program that may also help you:

I am having data i want to measure pulse width without using hardware and tell me how to start and stop soft timer using labview

soft pulse width measurement

If you are creating a pulse in software somehow, then you can use Pulse Measurements.vi that's on the Analyze>Waveform Measurements palette. This will require that the input is of the waveform data type with signal and timing information. There's several timing functions on the time & Dialog palette that you could probably use. Check out Tick Count and Elapsed Time. If you could provide more details on what exactly you need to do, we could provide more help.

How I pick and record video using UIImagePickerController : iphone

Hi All
I want to pick a video from iphone for my application for uploading on web
I am using the UIImagePickerController for it.
for for opening picker
<pre>

How to get and display voltage value in Labview?

First a little background:
I am a college student doing an internship at a university and my project for the summer involves load cells. I am planning to use LabVIEW as both a multimeter and a calculator that would convert the voltage given off by the load cell into the force exerted on the load cell.
Now here comes the situation:
I have gotten everything hooked up and the load cell is working fine when using a standard multimeter. The data acquisition card is also working fine (The dac is the Measurement Computing USB-2416) as it was reading the same voltages as the multimeter. So all that was left is to put a numerical indicator and use some block code to send the voltage amounts to the indicator.
But the problem is: I simply do not know how to make the proper coding and the Internet is of no help to me on this subject.
My first thought is to do something using AIn() like the first attached picture show, but that resulted in an error stating:
"This function can not be used with this board."
Which is odd, for I am sure this is the right function to get analog readings from the dac.
Then I do something like the second picture, which does not produce an error, but it does produce a value of 255, which is obviously not correct.
At that point, I went on the Internet to get some answers, only to return with no answers at all.
And now, I turn to you guys to help me, for I have a single big question:
Which blocks/code should I use to obtain a voltage from a dac like the Measurement Computing USB 2416 I am using?
Summary of details:
The DAC I am using is the Measurement Computing USB-2416
The DAC is loaded with the latest drivers and Instacal was used as well
The LabVIEW I am using is LabVIEW 2012 version 12, 32 bit.
I got ULx and Universal Library for LabVIEW installed.
The operating system is Windows 7 working on a desktop that is a few years obsolete.
With that being said, can you guys help me out, please?

If you installed the entire Measurement Computing MCC-DAQ CD, you will have installed the ULx for NI LabVIEW. It comes with a bunch of examples. It makes sense to open those examples, and use them as the starting point.
Take a look at the Quick Start for the ULx for LabVIEW - http://www.mccdaq.com/pdfs/manuals/QS%20ULx%20for%20NI%20LabVIEW.pdf
Also, the more comprehensive help: http://www.mccdaq.com/pdfs/manuals/lvulx.zip
As you can see, there are quite a few examples.

Playing and recording sound

Hello, I am completelly new in Java programing. I was assigned to search for how to play and record sound in an appliation in Java, can somebody help me?

Is there an existing balance and vibration monitor program for LabView for rotating machinery?

I want to test generators for ballance and vibration, and shaft critical frequency. The data is to be collected automatically and reports generated preferably with LabView. Can I buy a written program as a starting point? I know of the Sound and Vibration Toolkit, and am willing to buy it, but still prefer to start with a verified package. Currently we are using a Bently-Nevada standalone system that is limited in its capability. We are installing a new data collection system so have a lot of flexability.

Good Morning,
Yes, we can put together a written program for collecting balance and vibration data for generators. There is a new tool to be announced April 30th, that goes beyond the sound and vibration toolset for machinery monitoring. We can use LabVIEW and our Dynamic Signal Acquisition hardware to capture accelerometer data, encoder/keyphasor data, and other rotational parameters. We can provide an off-line analysis set of software as well, or report the data to any existing Computer Machine Maintenance Software (CMMS) you need us to work with.
I'd be happy to discuss this with you further.

Canon Rebel T5i automatically stops recording after about 6 seconds. How can I disable or fix this?

I just got a Canon Rebel T5i and I was testing out the video and several times it will automatically stop recording after about 6 seconds. How can I fix or disable this?

And while buying said faster card... buy a REPUTABLE brand from a reputable vendor. I've come to the conclusion that there are a lot of fly-by-nights making cards that are not as fast as they claim to be.
Reputable vendors are companies like Sandisk and Lexar. But as an SD card is just a plastic card with a sticker on it, and stickers are pretty easy to fake, buy the card from a vendor you can trust is not selling fakes.
This is one item where it is probably not a good idea to try to save money by finding the cheapest deal you can find on the Internet.

Is it possible to make is so that, immediately after I import a new clip into FCP, the file is automatically selected in the Event Library? (Similar to how After Effects and Premiere work).

Is it possible to make is so that, immediately after I import a new clip into FCPX, the file is automatically selected in the Event Library? (Similar to how After Effects and Premiere work). Right now, after I import a new file, I have to then go searching for it amid all the other files in my project. It would be extremely helpful if the file I just imported was already highlighted and selected after import, making it instantly "locatable" and ready to go.

in a perfect world, you do know the recording date, and you simply scroll to that date.
in a very perfect world, all your other imports are already tagged, so just have to create a smart list 'unrated' ...
(I know those messy Events… a friend of mine constantly ignores my advice to check the time/date on his camera; on every battery swap, the cam creates a very erratic timestamp ... his actual recordings are listed as made in "2004" or in "2020" .... )

Automatic serial number and record of vendor's serial in Tcode Migo

Hello experts,
We recently changed the serial numbers from manual to automatic creation while executing "MIGO".
However the warehouse manager wants to record the vendor's serial number as well, at the same time, is there a way to open a window, in migo for vendor's serial number record.
They are reluctant to record the vendor's serial number in a separate session,
Thanks'

Measure and Record Temperature and Pressure

Evening guys!
I really need some help for my program.
I am asked to write a program that can measure and record local temperature and air pressure. I have already set up the hardware, so I can get voltages for temperature from channel 0 of mydaq, and pressure from channel 1. However, I don't know how I am suppose to build the program. Can anyone help me on that?
I need the value and graph showing at the front panel, and record them as a txt file as well.
Thanks a lot!
Best,

How do you watch and record a live h.264 stream at the same time using fmis and FMLE?

I've read all the similar post but could not find a solution that actually works, and please no "just use the dvr or record on the FMLE suggestions" as neither will work for me.
Some posts I've read suggest naming the stream in the FMLE to something like mp4:mystream.mp4 or mp4:mystream.f4v but then you can no longer view the stream, and according my the admin console the stream will not even publish using this syntax.
I can view the published stream if I name the FMLE stream to something like mystream.mp4 or just mystream, but then it doesn't record at all or records as a FLV file depending on how I code the main.asc file.
Here's one version of my main.asc, this one correctly publishes the live stream after the client triggers the joinStreams function but will not record it.
application.onConnect = function (client, userType)
    trace("userType is " + userType);
    this.acceptConnection(client);
    //this.clientCount++;
    client.joinStreams = function (channel)
        trace("joinStreams on channel " + channel);
        liveVid = Stream.get("livevideo/" + channel + ".mp4");
        liveVid.play("hdvideo/" + channel, -1, -1);
        liveVid.record("append");
    client.clearStream = function (channel)
        trace("clearStream on channel " + channel);
        liveVid = Stream.get("livevideo/" + channel + ".mp4");
        liveVid.play(false);
        delete liveVid;
I've been working on this for 48 hours straight, please advise.

I think lets keep it simple, will explain what you have for watching live streams and recorded streams
Live Publish and Play:
     FMLE Settings:
Video Codec: H.264
Audio Codec:<any of your choice>
Server URI : Please put your server uri with application name here , for example i will use "rtmp://myServer/myApp"
Stream name: livestream
    Subscriber Settings:
          Server URI : "rtmp://myServer/myApp"          Stream name: livestream
          Mode: "live" ( i.e. ns.play("livestream",-1,-1,true)
Playing VOD H.264 file:
     Subscriber settings:
          Server URI : "rtmp://myServer/myApp"
          Stream name: if file name is "sample", use "mp4:sample", if file name is sample.f4v, use "mp4:sample.f4v"
          Mode: "record" ( i.e. ns.play("mp4:sample.f4v",0,-1,true)
For DVR (Record-in-progress stream)
If you are using FMLE and want to use "Record" option of FMLE then you need to have to dvrcast_origin application and subscrier needs to FLVPlayback 2.5 component
If you want to use that option, do let me know i will give details later.
For now we will use simple server-side code and FMLE as publisher.
main.asc of "myApp"
application.onPublish = function(myclient,mystream){
     mystream.record();
application.onUnpublish = function(myclient,mystream){
     mystream.record(false);
FMLE Settings:
Video Codec: H.264
Audio Codec:<any of your choice>
Server URI : Please put your server uri with application name here , for example i will use "rtmp://myServer/myApp"
Stream name: mp4:mydvrstream.f4v
    Subscriber Settings:
          Server URI : "rtmp://myServer/myApp"          Stream name: mp4:mydvrstream.f4v
          Mode: "live" ( i.e. ns.play(" mp4:mydvrstream.f4v",0,-1,true)
Try out above and let me know if that works or does not work for you.
