How to generate 2 breakpoints on an encoder using the NI-7344 without physically connecting the encoder to a second axis?

I'm using the NI-7344 motion-controller (for the control of 2 servo-motors) in combination with an E-series DAQ-card.
I need to acquire data at two different scanrates using breakpoints over RTSI, one channel for example every 10 encoderpulses, the second channel for example every 200 encoderpulses.
I'm using on onboard program that uses the modulo breakpoint for generating a pulsetrain over RTSI, but I also need a breakpoint (from an unused axis) to generate the other pulsetrain.
Is there perhaps a way to tell an axis to use the encoder from another axis so the breakpoint can be generated at this axis without having to connect o
ne encoder to two different axis?
thanx

Hello,
I am alittle confused about your application, but maybe this will answer your questions. In the "Configure Breakpoint VI" you can set the Axis or Encoder input as the following: Axis or Encoder is the axis or encoder to be controlled. You can enable Breakpoint Position on encoders mapped to axes 1 through 6 or directly on encoders 0x21 through 0x24.
So you can use an encoder that is not mapped to that axis.
Please let me know if this was not your question.

  • How do I physically connect the SCXI 1180 when using a 1520 and 1346 adapter?

    Here's my current configuration:
    SCXI 1000 chassis
    x2 SCXI 1520 Bridge Modules (Slot 1, and Slot 2)
    1180 Feedthrough panel.
    I recently purchased a 1346 adapter so I can use the feedthrough to access AI channels on the DAQ card.
    My question is, how do I physically connect the ribbon cable of the 1180? Does it plug into the BACK of the last module in the chassis (ie. bridge module2 in slot 2) or does it plug into the other 49pin connector on the 1346 adapter?
    If you read the installation manual for the 1180 http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371062a.pdf (Page 2-3)
    And the installation manual for the 1346 http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320722b.pdf (page 2)
    it seems the instruction contradict eachother. The 1180 manual says connect it to the back of the module
    the note under Fig.2 on page 2 of the 1346 says you cannot have anything plugged into the module next to the one that has the 1346 plugged into it; in my case that's module 2...

    I have the 1346 plugged into the first module in slot 1.
    But let me try and clairfy what you're saying...
    "Then the cable from the 1346 kind of loops back into the chassis and through the 1180". So this is my answer? But I'm actually taking  the cable from the 1180 and plugging it into the other 49-pin connector on the 1346. Sorry, symantics...
    "...it must be on the first card when using a 1520". By "it" are you referring to the 1346 (which is how it's currently configured) or the 1180 cable?
    and lastly; why does the 1180 need to go into slot 2? I can currently fill both slots (1&2) with the 1520's and with the 1346 plugged into module1/slot1, I can pass the ribbon cable around back of module2 and into the 1346.
    Is there some other reason beside potential space limitations that you'd use the feedthrough in slot2?
    Thanks for your info and patience!

    You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.

  • My Apple ID at the Apps store is messed up so. It identifies me by an email address that isn't current--I deleted it because of too much spam. I have a new Apple ID. How may I use it at the App store without losing all the Apps I,ve purchased undert

    Question: I have changed my Pple ID. However The PPS Store insists that the cancelled ID is me, and trying to change either the name or password is an endless circle. The email account name I previously used was, I believe, hacked so I terminated the email account. So, apple no longer shows it.
    Please help me. I want to get back into the App Store without losing all the apps I've purchased.

  • Can i use my time capsule to extend my wifi signal without physically connecting it to my router?

    I currently have a BT Homehub connected to a modem, which is connected to the ethernet port in my wall (which is downstairs). I bought a timecapsule to wirelessly back up my computer. It is connected via ethernet cable to my router. I have recently been having trouble getting a wifi signal in one room in my house (upstairs). To fix this i was wondering whether it is possible to move my time machine somewhere upstairs, to a location closer to this room, and have it transmit a wifi signal without it being connected to my router via ethernet. And if so how would i go about doing this?
    cheers

    Can i use my time capsule to extend my wifi signal without physically connecting it to my router?
    Yes, if you have an Apple router.
    No, if you have a BT router.
    IF....your Time Capsule is currently set up to provide a wireless network signal, you could add another Apple device...like an AirPort Express....to extend the Time Capsule wireless signal.

  • How to install driver for Windows 8.1 without physical connection

    I have a Photosmart 7762 printer connected to a NAS box (with wiring all very difficult to get to behind various office units) and want to be able to print to it from a new Windows 8.1 PC that is installed (again with difficult to get to wiring) in a separate room but on the same network.
    The HP site for the printer says I have to use Windows Update to get the driver, but this only works if you physically connect the printer to the PC which isn't an easy thing to do in this case.
    Does anyone know where I can get hold of the driver so I can use the "Have Disk" option? I have been unable to find it anywhere. Alternatively, does anyone know how to copy the driver from an existing Windows 7 install (on a laptop I could connect it to) and whether that would work?
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Folow the steps listed under Download the driver for later use or use on another computer below, it will allow downloading the INF and installing those manually, be sure to follow the link to Microsoft which explain how to locate the correct package and extract it:

  • Using an external hard drive to connect the camera to the Mac Book Pro

    I am about three weeks away from a 9 to 4 pin firewire cable. In the meantime, I am logging and capturing from my Canon AX HI through my external hard drive. I am not super amazed at the quality of the image, it's noisy.
    I am using HDV tapes, and I don't beleive the lighting should be causing the issue.
    Does anyone know if using the external hard drive to connect the camera to my Mac Book Pro is compromising the quality of the image? Can I expect a beautiful strong image on a lap top?
    Thanks for any help.

    There is ZERO quality loss when you capture via firewire. It is a digital transfer of files...that's it. The issue you have is that you are trying to judge the quality of your image based on what you see with your computer monitors, and that is simply the LAST thing you should be doing.
    And since this is HDV, the only way to monitor that is with an HD card or I/O device, and an HD monitor or TV. Like the Matrox MXO2 mini or AJA I/O Express mini and HDTV.

    I changed my iPhone from an IPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. How do I delete my iCloud account on my old phone without losing all the data on my new iPhone 5?

    If you have any photo stream photos on your old phone that you want to keep you might want to save them to the camera roll, then import them to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) before deleting the account.  The reason for this is that photo stream photos are only kept in iCloud for 30 days.  When you enable photo stream on your new phone you will only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.

  • How do I continually loop frames with a 20 second pause in each frame from the same scene without going to the next scene?

    How do I continually loop frames with a 20 second pause in each frame from the same scene without going to the next scene? There are buttons for the other scenes in these frames. The below works well until I am at the last frame in scene one, then it goes to the next scene and plays. How can I make scene one a continually loop.

        //or if you want to jump e.g 5 frames

    Thank you for any help.

    For this code to work, you need to empty the first frame and place all the photos a frame ahead. Then, place this code on the first frame. DONE!
    If you need more help, I'll try to answer it the fastest I can.
    Oh, and I could actualy make your photos fade out and fade in as they rotate from frame to frame, it would be awesome. Just tell me if you want me to do it. Good luck

  • Can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

    can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

    That depends on what you mean by "use".
    Sure you can use it without wifi. Many apps do not require a connection to the Internet. The iPod app (or Music and Videos apps, I can never remember which the iPod Touch uses nowadays), for example.
    However, iPod Touch devices do not include the "cell phone parts" - i.e. they cannot connect to cellular voice or data networks. Therefore, when an iPod Touch cannot connect to a wifi network, it has no way to transceive data with the Internet (short of Bluetooth, but that's a special case and I'm sure not what you're asking about).

  • From a new ipad user: if I'm listening to live radio, how do I switch it off to move to another site without switching off the ipad?

    From a new iPad user: if I'm listening to live radio, how do I switch it off to move to another site without switching off the iPad?

    If you're listening to radio from the app, you need to go to that App (press Home button twice for multitasing menu and tap on its icon), and stop it there. If there is no such feature - you can "kill" the app, open multitasking menu again, hold one of the icons for couple of seconds, and click "X" symbol next to the radio app.
    If the radio streams in Safari (web browser), you can simply stop it by closing the tab - tap little "X" next to the tab where the radio is playing.
    Hope this helps
