How to count peaks??

Hello everyone,
I'm a new user of LabVIEW and I'm gonna ask you about a problem that surely many of you will find quite boring.
I'm developing a software for a test machine gestione that uses an alternate bending, by a revolution counter that generates a rectangular analog output signal in volts, from 0V to 8V. As far I have thi signal in a waveform graph.
My aim is to be able to count the number of cycles of the machine and being able to count the voltage peaks and subsequently to be able to work on the machine with regard to the number of turns to make. the ultimate goal is to be able to tell the machine how many turns/cycles to do and the voltage to apply on the load cell.
would you be able to give me some useful advices about it? Especially about counting and memorizing the number of turns.
if necessary I could send a screenshot of the program.
I tried to use a threshold peak detector but I'm still inexperienced, that's why I'm asking for your help.
can anyone help me?
thanks in advance.
greetings

Hey lucavilla! I think you are getting there :-)
"Memorize the number of turns" could mean different things, please be more specific. Also, I do not see "turns" anywhere in your block diagram.
Your code does not follow the "best practices" therefore it is a little difficult to understand and tell what is going on.
There are lots of material to look at (see a few links below). I personally prefer to learn from examples (Help->Find Examples) but it is up to you.
A few hints:
- Make sure it is readable and well organized
- use error the error wires to create data flow
- Most people like to see bloack diagrams as icons, try that.

Counting peaks within one minute intervals and outputting with time stamp

I'm currently working on my senior design project for biomedical engineering. We are creating a piezoelectric sensor in order to measure respiration on a bed non-invasively. The sensor lays on bed under subject and records movement due to respiration. We currently have figured out how to detect peaks. However, now we want to count number of peaks detected within a 1 min time period and output that result with a 'timestamp'. We would like the output to be into excel as two columns, rate(number peaks in 1 min) and time. Time in minutes and not actual time is fine. Sampling rate was 500Hz.
My current VI has peak detection criteria and can output total number of peaks and their locations.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is our last step before verification and have been stuck on it for awhile.
It won't allow me to attach a tdms file in which our data is stored as, so I can't upload the data currently.
Also attached is our current VI for peak detection labeled 3.26.Resp.PeakDetect.
Thanks for any and all help!!

I see no need for a case structure. Or did you set up a state machine that I missed?
I recommend making a VI that does nothing but read your 30,000 samples and process it (counting the peaks and what not). From there, you create the array for the number of peaks and the time (in minutes). Then you can call that VI inside of a loop to build up the array of data points.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

How to Count Number of completed line items in past 6 months / 12 months ?

How to Count Number of completed line items in past 6 months / 12 months ?
Hi,
I am trying to count "Number of Completed Line Items in Purchase Order Document" for my Key Figure ZPO_CNT.
Purchase Order document = ZEBELN
Line Item = ZEBELP.
I need to find and count if the Line Item has been received in the past 6 months from today and similarly in the past 12 months.
I have "Delivery Completed" field, ELIKZ.
So, based on this would I be able to calculate it in Query Designer?
If so, Please let me know how

Hello Deva
If youe want to calculate the completed line item for last 6 or 12 month then i think u will be displaying the query data for these montrhs...create a customer exit to give you date range and restric it in filter area....
Now Choose any of the below option
1. I would suggest to implement an additional key figure "counter" in cube and fill values with one for which delivery is completed.
Now use calculated key figure in Query Designer based on logic
IF counter = 1 THEN counter ELSE 0
OR
2. create a formula variable based on ELIKZ and use replacement path variable, it will display you no. of docs for which delivery is completed....
Award points if it solves your problem
Revert back in case of further assistance...
Thanks

Hi All
If I have 2 tables with records in it, with primary Table A and Foreign key Table B structure.Then how to count the no of occurances of each records of table A in table B and print the values.
Thanx

Hi,
If I understood you can a query like this:
SGMS@ORACLE10> create table a (cod number);
Table created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> create table b (cod number,id number);
Table created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> alter table a add constraint pk_a primary key (cod);
Table altered.
SGMS@ORACLE10> alter table b add constraint fk_b_a foreign key (cod) references a;
Table altered.
SGMS@ORACLE10> insert into a values (1);
1 row created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> insert into a values (2);
1 row created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> insert into a values (3);
1 row created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> insert into b values (1,1);

Hi Dariel Pérez ,
By executing the Querey I'm able to get the State and num_cube instances but when I call this Query in BPEL by using DB adapter I get the following error
BINDING.JCA-12563 Exception occured when binding was invoked. Exception occured during invocation of JCA binding: “JCA Binding execute of Reference operation ‘CountReq’ failed due to: Pure SQL Exception.

Possibly try the “Perform an operation on a table” option instead. This exception is considered not retriable, likely due to a modelling mistake. To classify it as retriable instead add property nonRetriableErrorCodes with value “-911″ to your deployment descriptor (i.e. weblogic-ra.xml). To auto retry a retriable fault set these composite.xml properties for this invoke: jca.retry.interval, jca.retry.count, and jca.retry.backoff. All properties are integers. “. The invoked JCA adapter raised a resource exception. Please examine the above error message carefully to determine a resolution.
Any Suggetions.

How to count number of autoextents that had took place between a period.

urgent question
Hi all
how to provide me a report for getting the result of the Disk Drive Space usage (drive letter) that shows how quickly the space is being used up by the database(dbf files).
Or how to count the number of autoextents that had took place between a certain period of time.
either by cmd promt or OEM would be fine

thanks

hi justin and Pavan
First Thanks for your immediate responce,
Secoundly client has asked for the growth report at the OS level and not at the database level. but the growth is with respect to the autoextent feature that oracle has over the datafiles.
I was thinking that i could get a view or some history log to get this data retrieved from the past may be of a months data.I normally manually check the data base growth with the following script
SELECT total_space,free_space,
(NVL(total_space,2)-NVL(free_space,2) ) used_space
FROM (select round(SUM(Bytes/1024/1024/1024),2) Total_space
from DBA_data_files
(select round(SUM(Bytes/1024/1024/1024),2) free_space
from DBA_free_space
but this is Oracle DB level.
Any ideas for the report.like a query or somewhere in OEM
Thanks
Anto

How to count number of lines in a file?

I am using a BufferedReader to read my file, but I like to know how to count the number of lines in a file is there a way to do that in Buffered Reader or do I have to use FileInputLineStream?

Well, if you know how to read one line with a Buffered reader, and you know how to keep reading lines until you run out, then all you have to to is initialize a counter to zero before you start reading, add 1 to it each time you read a line, and then examine its value when you're done.
Try that, and post again if you get stuck.
Just be careful how you construct your loop. "Off by one" errors are a common way to get bitten. It could happen if you count what you think is the last line, but you've actually already counted all the lines and you end up counting one extra for "there are no more lines".

How to count the number of rows in a resultser object?

hi there
how to count the number of rows in a resultser object which may contains millions of rows? besides using a while loop? thanks

You don't, you execute a query whose result is the record count of those records that match the search and then you execute the actual query to create your record set. Typically you do
select count(id) from YourTable where [filter]
from the resulting ResultSet do
int res.getInt(1);
which gives you the count and then
select id from YourTable where [filter]
to produce the actual result set.
in the second query the id part can be substituted with the actual fields you want.

How to count number of ones in table

Hello,
i created one table 16x32 each cell is updating 1 byte of data,how to count number of one in all cell,and is it right way to calculate check sum??
thank you

The simplest way is to call GetTableCellRangeValues with VAL_ENTIRE_TABLE as the range, next summing array elements.
But I don't understand your comment on checksum, so this may not be the more correct method for your actual needs: can you explain what do you mean?

how to count how many items present in a particular data block in oracle forms 10g.
whether it is a text_item or display_item or list_item etc is there any method to do this.
please reply....

hi all,
i have written this when-button pressed but the problem is how to get the next item name in the block
DECLARE
     V_COUNT NUMBER:=0;
     V_FIRSTITEM VARCHAR2(100):='';
BEGIN
     GO_BLOCK('BLOCK_ITEMCOUNT');
     V_FIRSTITEM := GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('BLOCK_ITEMCOUNT', FIRST_ITEM);
     LOOP
          V_COUNT := V_COUNT + 1;
          EXIT WHEN GET_ITEM_PROPERTY(V_FIRSTITEM, NEXTITEM) IS NULL;
          --V_FIRSTITEM := GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('BLOCK_ITEMCOUNT', NEXTITEM);
          --V_COUNT := V_COUNT + 1;

How to count words in a text ?

Hi all,
can anyone show me how to count the number of words in a text.
thank in advandce,
Toan.

Hi,
Are you reading the text from a file or is it stored in a string buffer?
The best way would be to use a StringTokenizer assuming that all your words are separated by a space ' ' you could use that as your delimiter.
Something like..
String text = "This is just a bunch of text stored as a string.";
StringTokenizer words = new StringTokenizer( text, " ", false );
int numberOfWords = words.countTokens();I hope that helps,
