I want to create a TTL pulse. The stepper motor I'm trying to control responds to a high to low edge, when the low pulse width is greater than 0.5 microseconds. What is the best way to go about creating a pulse like this?
I'm using the NI PCI-6025E card connected to an SCB-100 wiring peripheral. I'm programming the DAQ card using LabVIEW 6.0.2 on a win95 box.
My first attempt has yielded some surprising results.
I created a vi with a single while loop set to true. Within that while loop is a two frame sequence. Both frames use the "Write to Digital Line.vi".
The first frame sets the line in wire to false.
The second frame sets the line in wire to true.
The device channel on both frames has been set to my user defined channel nam
e -> clock.
clock --> sets the DIO0 channel to be digital write out.
Using an oscilloscope and some wires I hook ground to the SCB-100's digital ground and I hook the probe to the DIO0 channel. What I see are two different pulses alternating between one another. One has a pulse width of 5ms and the other has a pulse width of about 50ms. You seem to get a grouping of one type of pulse followed by a grouping of the other type of pulse.
Obviously this is very strange and not what I want. It is also far too slow. So I'd like to know if anyone knows how to do this properly. Remember I only need a low pulse width of 0.5 microseconds.
Thanks,
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Scott,
You don't need to use a digital line to create a TTL pulse. The PCI-6025E has two onboard general purpose counters. You can use one of these counters to create a single pulse of the desired pulse width. For an example of how to program the counters on your board, refer to LabVIEW's Search Examples>>I/O Interfaces>>Counters>>Pulse Generation>>DAQ-STC based.
The advantage of using a counter over the digital line is that it allows you to control the timing of the pulse through hardware and not software. Thus, it is inherently faster, and the timing resolution is more accurate. The counter will count down an internal 20 MHz timebase to create the pulse delay and the pulse width.
For more information on the hardware capabilities of your board, you can refe
r to the User Manual online at www.ni.com/manuals.
Hope this helps.

Erin

1/ In table t each reference having 2 records one with P another is with R
2/ In table b each refrence merged into single record and there are many records which are not existing in table t
3/ both t and j tables can be joined using a = j
4/ If from table t for a reference indicator is 'P' then if have to pick up l and m columns, if it is 'R' then I have to pick up n and o columns
5/ I want output in following format

We have always used one iTunes account and I want to crate a new account for my daughter. What is the best way to go about this and will she need to download free apps again?
Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with. -
Hi I would like to totally reformat my Macbook Pro. What is the best way to go about it?
I have a Macbook Pro and would like to do a complete reformat. I installed Moutain Lion when it came out and do not wish to pay again since I've already paid. I have OS 10.6.4 discs with me which didnt come with my MB but with my previous one. What is the best way to go about it? I have bootcamp and wish to get rid of it (one of the many reasons of wanting to reformat)
ThanksYou can use the Boot Camp Assistant to remove the Bootcamp Partition - best way to do it.
If you use the Recovery Disk Assistant to create a recovery usb thumbdrive you can boot to that and repartition the MacHd and reinstall the OS directly.
When you purchase the OS you are free to reinstall without repurchasing as long as yo have access tot he Apple Id you used to make the purchase

What is the best way to go about getting a wireless connection on the go?
Im new to the aple product. I just recently bought a New Macbook Pro and wanted to know what is the best way to go about connecting to the internet while not at home and on the go. I was thinking of maybe a USB internet stick. But dont know who provides them and who would be the best choose to go with for a nice price every month. If that was the best choose in the first place. Im living in the U.S.A so if you could help ill really apprecaite it. THANKS
Hi! I'm writing in beginning of October so I don't know if you've found a solution.
Your MacBook Pro probably has a WiFi card built in. You don't need to have a USB connector.
Turn on AirPort, go to Network and choose the network that is available to you. It might ask for a password, so get it from the cashier. My MBP connects wherever I go, as long as there is a network available.
Good luck.

I have 21,000 photos stored in iphoto. I have a WD 1.5TB backup external hard drive. What is the best way to erase about half of my photos on my internal hard drive?
Here's one way to do what you want:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager -

iMac with 256ssd and 2t hdd. Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents) What is the best way to go about doing this. Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.
Yes, you can move your user directories to the HD and keep your OSX and Applications on the SSD drive.
Whether you partition your HD or not depends on how much data you have and how you propose to use your HD.
Are you planning to use your iMac as a Time Machine backup volume? If so, partition it off.
Do you have huge data files, eg video, music, photos?
How much of your 2tb drive will be "free" once it is loaded with all your data?
A little more information is required before the optimal configuration can be recommended for your use. -

What is the best way to learn about galaxie s3 from novice viewpoint?

Do you already have the phone, or are you planning on getting the phone.
You could sign up for a free workshop at one of your local Verizon stores. You could read the owners manual. You could peruse thru the topics on THIS Verizon site.
I thought there was a thread which gave a bunch of tips/tricks for the GSIII, but I can't seem to find it. There IS one for the Galaxy Note II which MAY be helpful with the GSIII, though. -
What's he best way to include Adobe PDFs on my blog?
What's he best way to include Adobe PDFs on my blog?
I create worksheets as a teacher and would like to share them from my blog. Currently I am linking to Scribd etc to share PDFs. If I upload the worksheets as an image is there a way to adjust the size/resolution of the PDF for easier viewing?
Thanks!PDFs are just files. Can you upload files to your blog space? If yes, just upload the PDFs then, in a blog entry, provide the web link (URL) for each file (PDF).
Or, place the PDFs into your free acrobat.com "files" storage (5GB free). You have one as you have an Adobe ID (needed to make your post here eh).
https://cloud.acrobat.com/
You can have acrobat.com provide a "share" link to the PDF. Place that into a blog entry.
Or - same idea as above (use a "file share" service) -- Microsoft's OneDrive, Adobe's Creative Cloud, Google drive, DropBox, others ...

When I signin Apple ID showing error 403 on my mobile. What is the reason? And how can solve it?
This often means that the maximum of 3 iCloud accounts have already been created on the phone and it cannot create another account. When this happens, all you can do is re-use one of the accounts previously created or creat your account using a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.

Hi, I have Mac Book It currently at 10.6.8 I want know how to recover the FileVault Password? I tried /Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.keychain but it say permission denied when i'm the admin account
Hi BobRz,
As this is a new issue for me, I believe I had the incorrect approach, maybe you can help me. What I want to do is recover a few files in my desktop, and some information i had on the iCal application and the Mail application as well.As I do not want to do a full migration into this computer (which is not mine) I believe that starting the damaged MBP in Target mode should allow me to search and cop the files I need. But:
1. Can I open the Ical and mail apps to look for the info I need while reading it as an external HD ?
2. Do the target machine (my friends) still need to be updated to ML o Mavs so that it recognizes my MBP as an external drive if starting it in Target mode ? (no migration assistant)
Thanks. -
