Input and Output flow from executable to NI Teststand

Hi,
I have a *.exe file generated from Labview and which has inpu 'x' and 'y', output 'z'. I wanted to pass these inpyts 'x' and 'y' to teststand and get the output from 'z' when the executable is called.
Please provide me the solution for this.
Many Thanks
Haneef

Hello Ray Farmer,
I have seen the examples, where in I found how to pass the inputs to the TestStand from the executables.
But my requirement is, I have a executable with one input button say 'OK'. I will use this executable in NI TestStand, the TestStand should not execute farther to next step until and unless 'OK' button has been made to invoke from the executable.
The intension here is to control the flow of execution using executable.
I guess you are clear with my doubt. Please try to help me as I am learner to this kind of scenarios.
Many Thanks
Haneef

(Input and) output formats from Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac

I noticed that (until midnight PT, anyway) Amazon has Photoshop Elements for the Mac at a lower price than usual. This brings up a question for me: What output formats can Photoshop Elements 6 produce? In particular, can it produce PNG? Also, can it accept PNG as input?

I think that all the formats like .bmp, camera RAW, EPS,PICT, TIFF, Filmstripn, IFF, JPEG, Photoshop pdf, Photoshop RAW,PNG etc are supported for both input and output.

Input and output reading from quanser board

My department recently gave my senior design group a Quanser board to use for a project. We are having trouble reading data from the motor sensors in Labview. We are using Labview 2010. Can anyone tell me what channels I should be looking at and what kind of inputs they would read? Thanks.

OK, can you post a .png format screen shot of your code (block diagram) so we can see the broken wires. And what the error message is? Quanser is located in Quebec, Canada so they probably have gone home for the day.

Analog Levels vs SPDIF Levels Input and Output in Logic Pro

Hello,
I ran a test last night for recording input and output levels from my Yamaha Motif XS8 through an Apogee Ensemble to compare Analog to SPDIF
I connected two TRS cables from the L and R outputs on the Motif XS into the Analog Inputs on the Apogee and also have the SPDIF connection from the Motif to the Apogee.
I put the master fader all the way up on the XS for the volume for analog.
The ensemble in Maestro has a +4 and -10 reference notional level option for analog inputs. i had it at +4 but changed to -10 and the analog got louder (i figured it would get louder for +10, confusing).
anyways, why is it that I can record louder levels for analog than the digital transfer?
I tracked both options at the same time then recorded vocals over it. the digital sound is too low. what's up with that?
and when I tried to bounce the recording to listen to it in ITunes, the volume levels were way lower than my cd playing through iTunes. Please enligthen me on these?
I use to record in a Roland 2480, and had similar results with loudness, but got a little louder through mastering but still....pro cds are way louder and still clear.

I think there is much confusion here!
In summary, you wont be able to control the recording level of S/PDIF.
The reason is that you don't want to!
You need to think of the SPDIF connection as being more like a file transfer method. You are copying the digital data at an output to your harddrive in effect. If I send you an MP3 via email you'd never imagine that your email software is capable of changing the gain of the MP3 I send you. This might sound daft but its a useful analogy. If you need to increase the "volume" of that MP3 then you'd need to ask the sender. Its the same with your set-up.
There could well be somewhere on your synth that adjusts the instruments level, other than the master (analogue) output control. For example, make sure the midi volume of the intrument being played is set to full - ie midi vol 128. Perhaps there is somesort of virtual mixer onboard to control all the muti-timbral parts so make sure your part has its virtual fader turned up.
This is what (basically) is going on in the chain...
Your synth creates sound in its "digital brain". This sound is sent to an "output stage" which will distribute the sound to various outputs. In the case of the S/PDIF it will just send the raw digital data untouched. For the analogue side the digital signal (same as the one sent to S/PDIF) will be converted to analogue and then sent to a amplifier to get it to an appropriate "line level". This final level could well be controlled by an anogue volume control which could be adding more gain (than you think) too.
When things go to your sound card/ daw...
The purpose of a analogue gain control is to set the i/p signal so that it suitably loud to beat any noise that exists in your input circuits - so that a good signal to noise ratio is achieved. Analogue signals need to work in the right loudness zone (so to speak) as the analogue electronics will be designed to handle signal levels of a particular range. the gain control is there to make sure the signal is in that range.
Digital signals are far more predictable though and there is no advantage to your recordings if the incoming digital signal gets an increase of level at the input stage. All you are doing here is effectively adding a few zeros to the binary digital data!
Lets face it the point of recording is to get a copy of the original sound, that is as similar to the original as possible. With S/PDIF you get a perfect copy of what's coming out of your synth - so job's a good un!
If, when you come to mix in logic, you find the level of the digital recording is indeed too low for mixing/mastering purposes then just boost it in logic via a fader or via the gain plugin.
Those referrence values of -10dBV and +4dBu refer to analogue voltage levels only. they have nothing to do with the digital domain. The -10/+4 switch will be only relevant to analogue inputs and outputs. Using an analogue VU meter you should find that a sine wave that peaks at 0dBVU (totally different to 0dBFS BTW) is the equivant of a digital sine wave peaking at -18dBFS.
The analogue headroom (how loud you can go before things distort) depends on the analogue electronics and varies with different design. Analogue stuff, like mixers) often has headroom of 24dB or more. So that digital stuff can interface with analogue properly we allow for that analogue headroom to be around 18dB (usually enough in practise!)... hence -18dBFS(digital)=0dBVU(analogue).
To make your digital and analogue input signals sound similar in level you will probably have to reduce the gain of the analogue input. If you set the incoming analogue signal to peak around -14dB (or less!) or so you will probably find things more equal. If you are working in 24 bit your analogue levels can be seemingly very low before sound quality is affected. Its quite safe to record at -20 or even -30dB as shown on logic's meters for eg.
I hope all this waffle helps LOL!

SSIS: How to use one Variable as Input and Output Parameter in an Execute SQL Task

Hello,
i need your help,I'm working on this issue since yesterday and have no idea how to deal with it.
As I already said in the tilte i want to start a stored procedure via a Execute SQL Task which has around 15 prameters. 10 of these should be used as input AND output value.
As an example:
i have three Variable:
var1    int        2
var2    int     100
var3    int     200
the stroed procedure:
   sp_test
     @var1 int
      @var2 int output
      @var3 int output
   AS
   BEGIN
        SET @var2 = @var2 * @var1
        SET @var3 = @var3 + @var1
   END
So in the Execute SQL Task i call the Stored Procedure as follwos:
    Exec sp_test  @var1 = ?, @var2 = ? output, @var3 = ? output
(I use an OLE DB Connection)
The parameter mapping is as follows:
User::Var1        input                   numeric              0                 -1
User::Var2        input/output         numeric              1                 -1
User::Var3        input/output         numeric              2                 -1
Now my problem. If i set  Var2 and Var3 as Input parameter the values are still the same after running the package. If i set them to a output value the are both Null because the procedure doesnt get any values.
I already tried to list them a second time - like
    User::Var2        input                  numeric              1                 -1
    User::Var2        output                 numeric              1                 -1
or i use a new variable
    User::Var2                  input                  numeric              1                 -1
    User::Var2Return        output                 numeric              1                 -1
but i alwas get the error
"Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done."
Has anybody an idea how I can solve this problem?
Thanks a lot.
Kind Regards,
Alice

Hi Alain,
thx for your answer.
I have around 15 procedures called one after the other to calculated and modify my values. Each procedure is responsible for an other but overlapping set of variables. So i thought it would be a good idea to call them one after the other with the needed variables via a execute sql task.
So if i use a result set, how i get my stored procedure to return 10 values? I would have to use a Function instead of a procedure, wouldn't i?
As if i have 15 procedures this would be a lot of work.
But thanks a lot for the idea. I think an other idea would be to create one function which calls all stored procedures and returns all the calculated values as a result set, wouldn't it?.
Kind Regards.
Alice

How to remove items from INPUT and OUTPUT?

I installed a Movavi demo and deleted (uninstalled) it, but the Movavi sound Grabber still exists in my INPUT and OUTPUT section under sound options. It's making the sound screwy and I often lose audio when I switch from headphones, to blue tooth speaker. Please help!

You have not uninstalled it correctly, check the directions and do so.

XiFi and Audigy Take Over Input and Output from Bluetooth Head

I am having trouble with my bluetooth headset when making phone calls in any VoIP application (Skype, Yahoo!). I usually use the headset as the input and output for my VoIP bits so I can move away from my desk, etc... First, it worked under XP with my Audigy no problem. I bought a XiFi and installed the latest drivers and it began stealing my audio. Oddly, it does not do it until the call connection is made (so I hear the ringing in the BT headset and once the call is answered the system reverts to the mic, a Logitech USB, and main speakers, directly plugged to the soundcard).
I decided to put my audigy back in, because I was planning on upgrading to Vista and thought the XiFi may be bad. I did a fresh Vista install with the Audigy and everything worked (i.e. audio for phone calls stayed in my BT headset). I then upgraded from the Microsoft drivers to Creative?s Vista drivers and the problem then happened with the Audigy as well.
This leads me to believe that some sort of regression happened in the latest drivers. Everything else works great, games, movies, etc? but this is a show stopper because I want to use my bluetooth headset. I tried to downgrade to the Microsoft drivers but the card would no longer work. I have tried a driver install only, then added the software, removed that and did a full install. This is with BETA drivers on Vista, but the problem existed in XP as well which were not BETA drivers AFAIK. I have updated to the latest Bluetooth drivers as well with no luck.
I have confirmed this on two of my PCs and a friend of mine is having the same problem (XP, XiFi) so he went and bought a Skype phone which works correctly.
Thanks in advance

Input and output on same device, producer/consumer structure

Hello interested people,
I have a question about using the same device for both digital inputs
and outputs. I have written a simple program of one while loop
that continuously polls the device, processes, and requests. I
have addressed the device using two DAQmx Asst. and I have attached
them with their error in/out cluster terminals to provide data flow and
eliminate the chance of addressing the devices at the same time (which
produces an error). Now I want to change this program structure
to a producer/consumer loop foundation with state machine.
In this design, I will have the DI in the producer loop and the DO in
the consumer loop, under one of the states. I can't simply
connect the error in/out ports in this configuration, so my question is
how to avoid the error caused by addressing the same device
simultaneously with two different tasks (input and output)? I
have attached two VI's, the "One Loop" vi is the original configuration
(simplified), and the Producer-Consumer vi is a NONSENSICAL program
that simply represents the desired configuration. (I don't need
any comments on the programming of this vi, it is only an example for
illustration of the problem).
I am thinking about bundling the input data and the error cluster, both
from the PXI 6528 DI, into one cluster, queueing that up, and
unbundling the de-queued elements for some kind of data flow between
the producer loop and the "Request" state of the consumer loop.
Is this the right approach, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks

Hello,
It sounds to me like you really have two modes:
1. user interface actions determine execution
2. user interface is locked, and execution is automated.
I think it would make sense to use the producer consumer for an architecture. Basically you would do the following:
1. program the producer to handle the user interface as you normally would.
2. provide one additional event case in the producer which would be your "automated handling" case. In that case, you could put a state machine which could run until whatever conditions were met to put your program back in "user interface mode".
Keep in mind that you can use custom USER EVENTS to programmatically generate events ie. you can trigger the start of your "automated handling" form anywhere in your code at virtually any time.
I think this would allow you to take advantage of the producer consumer architecture in its intended spirit, while integrating an automated routine.
I hope this helps!

Synchronize input and output tasks to start at the same sample point [C++ NI_DAQmx Base]

Hi Michael,
First of all, thanks very much for taking the time to investigate this problem! Much appreciated.
You asked for "an actual error code you got and any description that is given". The full output from the program that I posted earlier in this thread is appended to the end of this message. In summary, following the call to...
DAQmxErrorCheck ( DAQmxBaseCfgDigEdgeStartTrig( outputTaskHandle, outputTrigger, DAQmx_Val_Rising ) );
... with ...
char outputTrigger[] = "Dev1/ai/StartTrigger";
...the error message is ...
DAQmxBase Error: Specified route cannot be satisfied, because the hardware does not support it.
You asked "specifically which M series device you are using"? It is the PCIe 6251 (with BNC 2111 connector block). I'm testing and developing on an Intel Mac Pro (dual boot OS X and Windows XP).
You asked for "the location you pulled the code from". Here it is...
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/879
...specifically from the file "Multi-Function-Synch AI-AO_Fn.c".
I adapted the NI-DAQmx calls to their NI-DAQmx Base equivalents.
Finally, you asked "Is the trigger necessary, or do you just need to know that the measurements are running on the same clock?". I believe that some kind of sychronized trigger is necessary in my situation (correct me if I'm wrong). Timing is crucial. Say I initiate an analog output stream that delivers a voltage command step 5 ms from the onset. I need to record the response (analog input stream) so that its onset is accurately aligned (synchronized) at 5 ms. A typical recording situation would stimulate and record a short data 'sweep', then wait for the (biological) system to recover, then stimulate and record another short sweep, and repeat. I need all the recorded sweeps to align accurately so that they can be averaged and analyzed conveniently.
I definitely do not want my customers to rely on an expensive external TTL pulse generator to initiate and synchronize each 'sweep'. That would effectively eliminate the cost advantage of an NI board, as well as adding unnecessary complexity in setup and use. It would be a show-stopper for me.
It seems perverse, but would it be possible to use a digital output channel connected directly to a digital input chanel to trigger the input and output streams?
Regards,
John.

How can I make Apple Earphones be the Input and Output for Audio

I have some older headphones and they aren't compatible with a Mid 2010 (Intel Core i3) 21.5 Inch iMac
Is there some way to make Apple Earphones be the Input and Output for Audio in the iMac
This is a problem for me personally as when I am talking to someone on Skype the iMac picks up the In-built Microphone audio, and yes the headphones I'm using do work straight from the iMac as audio output
Any help is appreciated

you can connect the headset to something like this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-MaelineA-3-5mm-Female-to-2-Male-Gold-Plated-Headphon e-Mic-Audio-Y-Splitter-/381100440348
and then connect the mic to the input and the headset to the headset port

How do I create an xControl with multiple inputs and outputs?

Hello,
i am trying to write a new Xcontrol Element. In the data model I can create data types using the cluster to create compound types, eg an int and an int array. But how do I create an xcontrol which has multiple data inputs and outputs?
Kind Regards

Limping_Twerp wrote:
Alright: I see: An xcontrol is either an input OR an output. How do I achieve an output? Secondly: So you are saying the only Elements that can have multiple inputs and outputs are VIs?
Can you take a few steps back and explain what you are actually trying to do. SubVIs and Xcontrols have nothing in common and it is not clear why you even try to compare them side by side (e.g. in terms of the number of connectors).
Your questions about input or output tell us that you seems to have some misconceptions about xcontrols. Xcontrols are like regular controls, except they have some built-in intelligence that you can program. Most front panel object can be either controls or indicators and the same is true for Xcontrol. You create an Xcontrol, and after placing it on the front panel you can decide if it should be a control (where the code reads the value) or an indicator (were the code writes values to it). When you define the xcontrol facade, you also need to program how the visuals change if it is changed from control to indicator or vice versa.
As a first step, you should opend the example finder and look at some xcontrol examples.
Again, what are you actually trying to do?

FINALLY INPUTTING and OUTPUTTING Annotations!

Ok, before everyone thinks that this is a very bad solution, I have to tell that I`m no programmer and my knowledge of PostgreSQL, Ruby or any other language is very poor.
With useful help from Jamie Hodge, fbm and Nicholas Stokes (mainly)
I could manage to write a command for inputting and outputting from Final Cut Server Annotations.
So lets go to the fun part:
INPUTTING:
1- Create a Response called "Annotations IN" (or whatever you want):
a - Reponse Action: "Run an external script or command"
b - Run Script > *Commnad Path: /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Server/Final Cut Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run
Command Parameters: psql px pxdb -c "COPY pxtcmdvalue FROM '/FCSRV/annotation-in.txt' USING DELIMITERS '|';"
2 - Create a poll Watcher with name: "Watch for Annotations IN"
a - Enable: true
b - Monitor Address: Chooses a Device (create a new one or use a tmp one) and path to where you`ll going to put a txt file with the annotations.
c - Response List: Choose the Response you created "Annotations IN" in my case.
d - Event Type Filter: Created, Modified
e - Poll Watcher > Listing Frequency: 2 (or any number of seconds you feel like it).
Listing multiple: 2
Wildcard include Filter: *.txt (or any custom extensions you want)
3 - Create a txt file and use this as a template:
{ASSET_ENTITYID}|1527|{TCIN}/(30000,1001)|{TCOUT}/(30000,1001)|{Annotation}|{USE RID}|{DATE}
Where:
{ASSET_ENTITYID} = Is the entityid of your asset. You can find what number it is by issuing:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "SELECT pxmdvalue.entityid, pxmdvalue.value AS asset_name FROM pxmdvalue INNER JOIN pxentity ON pxentity.entityid = pxmdvalue.entityid WHERE pxmdvalue.fieldid='1543' AND pxentity.address LIKE '/asset/%';"
This will output ALL your assets, so if you know the name or want to parse the name you can use:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "SELECT pxmdvalue.entityid, pxmdvalue.value AS asset_name FROM pxmdvalue INNER JOIN pxentity ON pxentity.entityid = pxmdvalue.entityid WHERE pxmdvalue.fieldid='1543' AND pxmdvalue.value='ASSETNAME' AND pxentity.address LIKE '/asset/%';"
Where in ASSETNAME you`ll have to put your Asset Name without extension.
{TCIN} and {TCOUT} is, of course, the TC`s points. In the form of: HH:MM:SS;FF
{Annotation} is the commentary.
{USERID} (in my case was 1)
{DATE}: This one is tricky. My example is 2009-03-15 19:31:15.839795-03
So is in the form YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.????? I really don`t know the rest. Could be milliseconds?
Of course one can write a script to translate everything from a txt file like:
ASSETNAME | TCIN | TCOUT | ANNOTATIONS | USER
But as I`ve said I`m no programmer
Ok.. now the time for the OUTPUT:
The command-line is:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "SELECT pxmdvalue.value AS Asset_NAME, pxtcmdvalue.value, pxtcmdvalue.begintc, pxtcmdvalue.endtc FROM pxmdvalue INNER JOIN pxtcmdvalue ON pxmdvalue.entityid = pxtcmdvalue.entityid WHERE pxmdvalue.value='ASSETNAME';"
Where ASSETNAME is the Asset name without the extension.
Or issuing the following to OUTPUT ANNOTATIONS from ALL assets:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "select * from pxtcmdvalue;"
Adding "> /PATHTO_WHERE_IN_WANT/ANNOTATIONSOUTPUT.TXT" at the end will put all output into a txt file.
It`s possible (in theory) to:
1- Create a boolean md field in FCSRV called "EXPORT Annotations" (don`t choose lookup)
2- add or create a md group called "Export Annotations" and add the above md field to it (don`t choose lookup)
3- Add "Export Annotations" md field to Asset Filter md group
4- Make a Response for Running external command. Command path: /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Server/Final Cut Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run
Command Parameters: psql px pxdb -c 'SELECT pxmdvalue.value AS Asset_NAME, pxtcmdvalue.value, pxtcmdvalue.begintc, pxtcmdvalue.endtc FROM pxmdvalue INNER JOIN pxtcmdvalue ON pxmdvalue.entityid = pxtcmdvalue.entityid WHERE pxmdvalue.value=[FileName];' > ~/Desktop/ann-out.txt
(I`m having problem with this, it doesn`t work).
5- Make a Subscription that if Export Annotations modified = true, trigger if changed and trigger the Response above.
6- Add exporting annotations md group to Media md set.
In theory it`s possible to modify the FinalCutServerIntegrationSample get and input annotations instead of adding another "comment" field to md group list.
Few!
Ok so please help beautify this out!
This will be very useful for a lot of people.... We know that it`s only a matter of time to FCSVR have this function built-in... but this "time" could be years.
So let`s start ourselves!
Thank you very much!!
Regards!

Okay, [here you go|http://lmgtfy.com/?q=communication+between+StarOffice+Spreadsheets+and+Java].
If you don't have any knowledge or experience, on the matter, please refrain from directing me to a google search. I assure you, I have already performed such a task.How would I know that.
But okay, let's say I know that. Let's say you bothered to point out that you've already done that. Further, let's say I do have knowledge of the subject at hand. Maybe I'm an expert. Maybe I wrote Star Office and an open source library (which wheel for some reason you must reinvent). You are assuming that I also have psychic powers, so that I can read your mind and know exactly what you've read so far and exactly what parts of your very broad and vague question said reading did not answer.
In short, you have received answers commensurate with your questions.
