I am new to LabView. I need an example VI for doing RF third intermod measurements.

I am using 2 Anritsu 2-40 GHz, and an Agilent Spectrum analyzer. I am in need of an example VI to get me started, since a am new to LabView.

Thank You Aaron.
Once initialized, the program will write instructions to, and read data from 2 Signal Generators, and 1 spectrum analyzer via GPIB. The comment is best left in an example format:
Example:
Measurement of third intermodulation distortion from 8.5 to 9.0 GHz at 0 dBm. Commands will be sent to Sig Gen A to go to 8.5 GHz CW (0 dBm power level), Gen B will go to 8.51 GHz (0 dBm power level). Commands will then go to the spectrum analyzer to set center frequency at 8.505 GHz, set span, set RBW, and set ampiltude. Next the spectrum analyzer will be commanded to do a peak search on the largest carrier (they should be fairly equal), set a marker, then do a delta marker at 8.52 and compare with another delta marker at 8.49 GHz and report the
smallest delta between the two main carriers (8.5 and 8.51 GHz). Hence, the 3rd intermods will be present at 8.49 and 8.52 GHz. Their levels are to be reported in dBc in reference to the main carriers. The action will be repeated at the next frequency point(s).
All will be communicated over GPIB. No additional hardware needed at this time.
Performance can be tweaked. This is an RF R&D environment. I figured (and know)that someone out there has done this before and may could give me a "jump start".

    I'm about to hulk out guys! Brand new iPhone 5 and need to update iTunes for recognition. Keep getting "the installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail." Can anyone help? I may smash something very soon.

    iTunes:

    P7 : 00005b6d

    P9 : 00000000
    That's consistent with another application (other than QuickTime) having dropped old QuickTime componentry in non-standard locations on the PC.
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "system32" folder.
    What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Just got 4 new iPads, Do I need separate Apple IDs for each one?

    Right now I have 3 iPods and 2 iPhones connected to my PC using 1 Apple ID.
    Question: I just purchased 4 new iPads. One of the iPads is for me and the 3 others are for my children. Should I setup the 4 new iPads under my existing Apple ID or should set up a new Apple ID for EACH of the new iPads?

    It would be a good idea to set up separate apple ID's for each. One reason is just to avoid any confusion over anything such as icloud synchronisation. Spending on your credit card so maybe purchase gift cards for their accounts so they have some money to spend on apps. It could cause a few problems mainly due to icloud, photos syncing, password synchonisation and it only takes a few minutes to set up an account. If you don't want to put a credit card on their accounts you can set it up without an account but i'd suggest using a computer to set it up as in my experience i couldnt set up an account without a card on an iphone or ipad etc.
    you could put your card on their ipads and enforce a restriction on buying apps where you would need to enter a code to authorise it.
    Hope it helps

  • New developer with spacial - need simple example

    Dear All
    i developing an application that need to store coordinates which represented with 3 floats. i need simple demo which illustrates me how can i insert such coordinate using Oracle Spatial and the how to select it. i also need little explanation of the structure of the select and insert queries
    Thanks alot

    Well, Ron, I think you will need to read a minimum in order to use oracle spatial. I admit that the Oracle docset can seem daunting, but I don't think you can use it without at least reading some of the Oracle Spatial Users Guide, available here (file://localhost/D:/Doc/Oracle/1020/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14255/toc.htm) in HTML and PDF.
    I suggest reading at least chapters 1 (concepts) and 2 (data types) in this manual.

  • Count the number of seeds using labview - new to labview

    hello,
    I am new to labview and need to create a VI to count the number of seeds being dropped.
    I understand you can do this using labview.
    please can someone direct me to a tutorial or an example to do this?
    I use a camera - how do you connect up the camera to work with labview?
    thanks

    You'll have to use IMAQ vision, an addon package that brings LabVIEW a series of tools for image analysis.
    There are a number of examples/solutions. Some deal already with particle counting.
    Although your question is rather vague, I suppose you want to get more info tahn the mere particle number (shape, color). That's definitely possible with LabVIEW, but will require a significant investment.
    There is a forum dedicated to Machine Vision where you'll get all the required help.

  • Need to record data for 4 hrs at a rate of every 30s

    Hello,
    I'm fairly new to LabVIEW and need assistance. I have this VI that manually records torque and temperature by hitting a button. I want to alter it so that when I run the program  I can automatically collect data every 30 sec for 4 hrs and then the program stops. Any help would be appreciated. I have attached the VI. 

    Bob_Schor wrote:
    One of the most difficult things for people new to LabVIEW to avoid is the temptation to "just start coding" -- as often as not, you end up with a bunch of (often Express) VIs wired together that do something, but rarely what you want it to do.
    I recommend starting with thinking about the overall design, asking yourself "What do I want to do?".  In your case, it sounds like "Record data (not yet defined) every 30 seconds for 4 hours".  Now break this down -- what does "record data" mean?  How much data?  How many channels?  What data rate?  What do you want to do with the data?
    This might be a "unit" of your code, that is, this "Data Recording Block" might, in some ways, stand alone.  One way this could happen would be if you recorded, say, 5 seconds of data, wrote the data to a uniquely-named file, then stopped recording.  "Aha!", I (don't) hear you saying, "this should be written as a sub-VI called "Save Some Data" that I put in my main program and call every 30 seconds until 4 hours have gone by".
    What is this isn't your model?  Maybe you want to start data acquisition, keep it running, and every 30 seconds save some aliquot of the data to a file.  Fine, but that's another Design Decision that you should make before starting to code.  This kind of model sounds liek it might be a Producer (continuous data acquisition)/Consumer (periodic saving of the data) design, with the Consumer "worrying" about saving, say, 5 second aliquots of data every 30 seconds for 4 hours.  This last bit (namely getting the Consumer to "do its thing" properly) might be handled by a State Machine design ("Save to File", "Wait for next Sample Time", "Count Elapsed Time").
    Here is a piece of Good Advice -- never put an "Abort LabVIEW" command in your program!  Notice you have a Stop button to stop the loop, and can OR wire the output now going to the Abort to the same Stop indicator.  Use Abort in the rare instance where failure to instantly kill the program will result in someone's death or injury -- you're not yet ready to code at this level.
    Bob Schor
    To expand on this idea, I usually write up at least a "casual" requirements document - even if it's just a few paragraphs - and code each "requirement" as a subVI.

    2.then i have to check the fields in 2nd input has no null values.if no values the output will be error message.
