How to get the position of the stem in control valve using slider control in the front panel

I have created a calibration program for a control valve. Signal (4-20mA) is generated from labview using slider contorl which is given to the valve via DAQ(module 9265) and again the feedback signal from the valve is acquired using DAQ(module 9203).. . There is an input ISO/ISC(Increasing signal to open/ Increasing signal to close) in the front panel.
ISO would set the output to increase from (4-20)mA further opening the valve
ISC would set the output to increase from (4-20)mA further closing the valve
I have doubt, how can i get the position of a stem

If the position of the stem is being sent to the PC through a 4-20 mA signal into your DAQ 9203 module, then you just need to do an analog input read in order to get the signal.
When reading this post, that is what came to mind...  So let's see if both RavensFan & I are trying to understand the same thing...  Are you saying that the position of the stem is linear (or scaled) to the amount of current sent to it?  Meaning a 4mA signal would move it a certain distance, and 10mA would move another given / known distance?  Or are you saying that it is calibrated so that a 20mA signal for a certain duration (ms) would move it a given distance? So the scale would be time and not current unless a lookup table is used to adjust the time duration based on the current being drawn...
It's just that I am not familiar with solenoid / drive devices that related to current..  To voltage, yes.  To time, yes..  To current, I'm simply saying that I am not familiar with that.  Can you tell us more about this stem (mfg / model designation)?

  • How to get rid of /j2ee prefix from URL when I use the OC4J via Oracle HTTP server

    In 9iAS 9.0.2 Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) is pre-configured to assign requests to the Home OC4J instance via the URL-prefix "/j2ee"/
    For example, the TEST servlet under OC4J would be passed through OHS using:
    http://urmachine:urApachePort/j2ee/TEST
    whereas in the standlone OC4J version, this URL works:

  • I cannot open my iphoto application.  The minute I double click on the icon I get the rainbow which spins forever.  I've used Applejack to repair the hd, but even that didn't work.  I've getting into iphoto preferences..can't.  Help!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How to run my vi from a front panel control without using even structure in the vi

    Hello, I would like to run my vi from a front pannel control instead of the tool bar RUN botton. I am using LV6.1 without the even structure feature, so I can't do as proposed by a previous posting by setting the vi to run at open in a "do nothing state" then taking the front panel control event and switching the vi into another ("running") state. I wonder is there some other type of solutions to this problem. Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Bryan

    Hi Dennis, thank you for the reply. I tried with the attached vi. It can only run once (also not in the correct state I want), as the control i placed on the front pannel will stop the VI. I want to have the vi do nothing when it is opened and start counting when the start botton is pressed. Then i want it stop counting when the botton is pressed again...and so on... I must need a different structure to get it work, or did I miss something simple? Thanks again.

    I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

    Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

  • TS3999 I had an icloud account setup in 2009 when I first got my family members each a mac. I let that account expire(we never used it) and I don't know how to get it off of my ical. It is not recognizing any of the information to reset the password?

    I had an icloud account in 2009. We set it up as a family plan because my family had just changed from PC to Mac. We never used it and let the plan expire in 2010. My ical will not sync with my new iphone because it is linked to the family plan account that no longer exist. Because I don't remember my password, I tried resetting it. It says the personal information I entered is incorrect, but I know the information is correct...It's my birthday it asks for! Does anyone know how to get that account off of my mac without the account existing?

    You were a MobileMe (not iCloud) subscriber in 2009 and this service has been terminated. However the login is an Apple ID and this never expires. What is your operating system? Do you have a MobileMe icon in System Preferences? - if so you should be able to sign out in it, but you may not have an iCloud icon to let you create an iCloud account, though you can do so if your iPhone has iOS 5 or above.
    If you are getting login requests or other irritations from your MobileMe account you can go to (user)/Library/Preferences/ByHost and delete all .plist files beginning with com.apple.DotMac or com.apple.idisk, then reboot.
    The minimum requirement for iCloud to let you sync your data is 10.7.5 though you can sync through iTunes (except with Mavericks).

    Hi, I have this schema:
    …and this Pivot:
    How do I get this result from PowerPivot.
    If I only use normal Excel Pivot I could use Calculated Field and get the wanted result in a snatch.
    But I guess the problem with using PowerPivot in this scenario is a context or/and a aggregation problem?
    Here is the formula I try to use (I have also tried the FILTER function but couldn’t get it right):
    TRUE DEMAND (Forecast- Stock>0) =

    [TOTAL DIFF (FORECAST-STOCK)]>0)

  • How do I get iTunes on a new computer to recognize and use my files on the local drive?  My music files on iCloud have been recognized.

    My old computer failed.  All files, including iTunes were backed up on a separate drive.  All files have been loaded on the new computer.  iTunes was reloaded, and recognizes all files on iCloud, but does not link to the files on the computer.  How can I re-establish that linkage?

    Hello jzinser,
    I am not sure on how you reset up your iTunes library on your new computer. If you copied the music by dragging on top of iTunes, then the media would have been put into the proper location. If you have the media copied to your computer and have not established in iTunes where it sits, then you will need to do that within the preferences in iTunes. Take a look at the articles below for more information to help sort this out.

  • My children deleted my app store. I cant figure out how to get it back on my phone. I tried to sync it with the computer and itunes but that did not work.

    My children deleted my app store on my iphone 4 and now I cant get it back on my phone. any suggestions?

    As the App Store is pre-installed on the device, it can't really be removed.  I'm thinking the icon is either stashed on another folder, or it's been turned off.  If it's in a folder the only way to really find it is to look through all folders on your device for the icon.  To check if it's turned off, go to Settings > General > Restrictions (it will ask for a passcode, if your children went into restrictions they created this passcode if it didn't already exist) and make sure "Installing Apps" didn't get turned off (if it's turned off the icon disappears from the Home screens).

  • How to get a HD movie on to a DVD to use on a TV and keep the integrity of the video

    I made a high quality movie in aperture which I exported to the desktop as a Quicktime movie.   Then I created a One Step DVD from the movie.  The movie is 12 gb and the disk and it plays well on a HD TV through an HDMI cable.  I have been trying to export this movie to a DVD that can be played through a regular DVD player onto a tv.  I am exporting to an 8+gb disk.   There are 1028 files in  the movie and for some reason there are two places for about 4 to 8 pictures each where the movie flickers or shakes.  There also seems to be some electrical "noise " interferance as well.   Is there some other way to make a HD movie onto a disk and still keep the integrity of the original movie?   Hopefully someone has an answer.   Thanks for the help and Merry Christmas.

    welcome to my world... i could see the difference in my movies between original by hooking camera up to tv direct vs the dvd i burned put into tv. it took me a while to find out/understand... first answer above is right.  from experience [i am not professional] i learned some terminology.  burning dvd = only standard definition quality [even if you import from a high definition camera]... like first answer above said... you would have to get a blu-ray BURNER to get hi def dvd.  i take the pains to shoot as high quality photo/video then am forced to preserve in a lower quality.  so the  best viewing of high quality is to play the movie from your camera to tv direct... but then you need to clear your camera.  I am hoping that i can hold videos imported into iMove/Final cut then maybe one day i will have a blu-ray burner and redo the burning process in hi def [i wonder if there is a catch here?].  I also was advised that final cut pro with dvd studio would be a little improvement over iMovie [still burns standard def unless have bluray burner].    FLICKERS/SHAKES.... are you viewing the dvd from the dvd disc itself???  you have to drag the movie off the dvd to the desktop then play it.  iDvd or final cut will set up the conversion to the tv dvd format. I can empathize with you greatly.
