Input Signal setting

Hi,
What's the Input signal/level for recording??
0db,-3db,-6db....what's yours??
Ray

Multitrack recording on an internal HD is risky.
Internal 2,5" drives are not fast enough to read
multiple tracks, write operatingsystem things and
write your overdubbing tracks at the same time.
Get an external 3,5" firewire drive and set
journaling off.
Oh My God,someone told me to use the Internal HD is more safety!!!
So,internal Drive (4500rpm) is really risk to take Multitrack Recording isn't it??
OK,i'll use the External HD.
But,there have 2 type of External Drive (1. Without Power 2. With Power) so,CIGAME2,do you mean the HD with Power Supply is the SAFETY one??
if even i use External HD without power supply still useless and not enough fast as internal HD,right??
one more thing,How to set the journaling off??erm...not understand on it,please explain to me...Thanks buddy!!
Glad to have your help!!

  • In Labview 8.5, what happens if the signal input exceeds the signal input range set by the DAQ Assistant?

    Hello all,
    This should be a pretty simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer on-line and don't currently have the capabilities to test this:
    I'm using LabVIEW 8.5 and have a VI that imports sensor data through the DAQ Assistant. In the configuration tab there is a signal input range. What happens if my sensor exceeds this range? Will I get a warning? Will the value default to the maximum (or minimum)? I was interested in writing in some code to display an error as I approach the limits of this range, but was unsure if I also needed to include some code to display an error if the range is exceeded as well.
    Thanks for the help,
    Tristan
    Solved!

    Hello Tristan,
    The behavior depends on the range you choose and the device you are using.
    If you are using a device with only one valid input range, we will use this range even if you set a smaller minimum and maximum in the DAQ Assistant.  Thus, if your device only supports ±10V and you set the range to ±8V, you will still continue to get valid data after your sensor exceeds 8V until you approach 10V.  Once you reach the limit of the range of your device, the output will "rail" and just return the maximum value until the signal drops below the maximum again.
    Note: A device that is nominally ±10V usually has some overshoot (like ±10.2V) that is typically specced in the manual.
    However, if you are using a device with multiple input ranges then things get more complex.
    The NI-DAQmx drive will pick the smallest range that fully encompasses the range you choose.  So, suppose your device supports the following input ranges: ±0.2V, ±1, ±5V, and ±10V and you choose 0V - 3V as the range in the DAQ assistant.  The NI-DAQmx driver is going to look at your input range and the list of input ranges that your hardware supports and choose the smallest that encompasses the full range you set.  This would the ±5V, because that's the only range that contains up to 3V.  As a result, any input signal between ±5V will be returned and any outside this range will "rail" to either the maximum or minimum value.
    We do this because using smaller ranges make more effective use of the resolution of the ADC.  Thus we try to use the most efficient range based on what you request without picking a range that will cause you to miss data.
    Let me know if I can clarify this further.

  • Monitor "no input signal"

    When I turn on the computer and the monitor, the monitor does not recognize a signal from the computer.  I have tried restarting the monitor and the computer, unplugging all cables including the power cables and reconnecting, I re-seated the graphics card, I tried using the VGA cable, but the monitor still seemed to be trying to recognize a DVI connection, even though the VGA cable was plugged in.  Right after I turn on the monitor it says:
       VGA input, no input signal
    > DVI input, no input signal
       recommended setting, 1680x1050
    After about 2 seconds it goes to sleep and that is it.  No mouse clicks or keyboard strikes bring the monitor back.  I know of no way to change any settings, reinstall drivers, etc. , because I cannot get the monitor to work, so I am effectively blind, whenever I want to test something out I have to manually shut down the computer and turn it on again.  I encountered this problem in the past, and after much frustration and unplugging/re-connecting, the problem seemed to magically solve itself, but now it is back and nothing seems to work.  The frustrating part is that it seems random, this started happening a few days ago when I tried turning on my computer.
    the computer is a HP Pavillion d4996t, the monitor is HP w2207

    Going to the control panel and turning off the monitor's power saving mode utility fixed this problem for me.  Only four years of putting up with "no input" on an ugly black and white screen before I figured that out! 

  • I would like to tare (rezero) the input signal from a forceplate (glorified

    I would like to tare (rezero) the input signal from a forceplate (glorified scale) so that the base signal is set to zero, e.g.: a button on the front panel that resets the signal to zero prior to getting a measurement from a subject.
    We calibrate the force plate through labview and input our new equation into our scaling and mapping box which sets the signal to zero (or near zero) and the change in newtons (force reading) is accurate but when the application is closed and reopened the signal does not always start at zero (-400 to +1200 N), while the change in newtons is still accurate. I am NO engineer, I have Forest Gumped my way into getting some nice working VIs but I can't seem to find this function.
    Thank you very much for your time.

    Maybe that is the limitation of Acquire Input Data.vi.The vi can't identify the Unformal key.
    You can try to use Event structure and set to listen "key down" event.
    There are two terminals VKey, ScanCode will sent out the information when you press key.
    There are two pictures in attached file, 2.jpg will show you the detail.
    Good luck.

  • Input signals out of range change settings to 1440x900 - 60Hz

    I bought a new HP ENVY, I am now trying to re set up my former HP pavilion ..but I keep getting this message on my monitor"Input Signals out if range. Change settings to 1440x900 - 60Hz". I can not get past this! Help!

    What is the exact model of PC you have?
    What model is the monitor?
    It sounds like the PC is trying to transmit the video at a resolution greater than what the monitor can support.

  • Why is it that when I saved the waveform of my acquired signal into a wav file, the output waveform of my saved file turn out to be different from my input signal?

    Hi all,
    I am currently doing a heart sound analyzer project. I acquired signal using NI USB 6008 continuosly. My program is able to saved the acquired signal into a wave file. But when I browse open the saved file, the output waveform did not look the same as the acquired input signal and also the sound of the heartbeat captured cannot be heard from the loud speaker though I have saved the file as a wav file. I am not sure if the method i use to save the acquired data as a wav file is correct.  I have attach the print screen of the differences of the output I have notice and the program I have created. I would be glad if anyone here is able to troubleshoot my program.
    Thanks.

    Hi Brett Burger,
    Thanks for your reply. For your information, I have set the sampling rate as 10000 as for the sound format, I have set the bits per sample as 16 bit, the rate as 11025 and the sound quality as mono. I tried using your method by changing the sampling rate as 8K but still my program encounter the same problem.
    I wish to also create a button that is able to generate a preformatted report that contains VI documentation, data the VI returns, and report properties, such as the author, company, and number of pages only when I click on the button.  I have created this in my program, but I am not sure why is it not working. Can you help troubleshoot my program. Or do you have any samples to provide me. Hope to hear from you soon.
    Many thanks.

  • Why am I not getting any input signal into logic X or GarageBand from my audio interface?

    Hello all,
    I'm completely new to all this so I will try my best here to give all the details needed.
    So, I am using a Mac mini (2013 model: i7 overclocked at 2.6, 16 gbram) and a focusrite saffire pro 24DSP. Overall both are in perfect working order.
    My problem, however, is that I am seemingly unable to get any form of signal from my saffire into either Logic X or GarageBand. I am trying to record guitar lined in and I have set all the settings in logic to what I think is right (software monitoring checked, output channels selected, saffire selected for both input and output) and I have set up my saffire mix control - I spent days reading the manual and watching online tutorials.
    The saffire mix control is set up thus:
    Input 1 - instrument
    Daw 1+2 = GarageBand
    Daw 3+4 = Logic X
    Sample rate 41Khz
    Master Output = stereo monitor mix (line outs 1 &2 to my monitor speakers)
    Output 3+4 headphones
    Is there anything missing here?
    As far as this all goes, when I plug in my guitar I can get a very clear "raw" signal from the saffire mix control, but when I then go to set up a track in either DAW and assign the necessary line ins and outs, no matter what I do I cannot get an input signal, not even a partial one (I have the monitoring and record armed options checked btw). I am close to giving tearing my hair out.
    I'm sure I am just missing something out?
    Thanks in advance :-)

    I've plugged into the interface a mic and an electric guitar.
    I'm not sure what I did but the guitar is coming through (though it shows no signal on the interface). Mic input level on line, mic registers a tiny bit of sound when I hit the mic (on only one channel) but doesn't register any vocals when mic input is turned up to the max.
    Odd thing: stereo/mono button reversed that is when the button is pushed in it equals stereo on the head phones when it says it should be mono and when the button is left unpushed it equals mono when it says it should be stereo.
    Monitor is on and volume is at max.
    GB system preferences don't list Input 1 or/and 2. Where do I find them?
    I've tried everything I can think of. It feels as if I just need to find the right switch but I don't know where to look...

  • No input signal (relates to Native Instruments Guitar Rig 5)

    Hi
    I have scoured the net and this forum for solutions to this bizarre problem, but found nothing that solved my problem. Alos posted this question on the Native Instruments forum, but have had no replies).
    Tech details:
    I have a MAC Mini 10.8.3. My audio Interface is a Steinberg UR22. I use Logic Pro 9.1.8.
    I have downloaded the GR 5 demo. It shows up and loads fine in Logic. Unfortunately, however, there is no input signal at all coming through to GR. Input and output paths in both MAC and Logic are all switched correctly to Steinberg. Audio Software Monitoring is also selected in Logic Audio. I have also selected and deselected the L and R channel icons in GR with no results, still no input signal. I have swapped audio input channel on the Steinberg. The cable works and is plugged in so it's not one of those Duh! moments either.
    Now the funny part: As mentioned, when I open GR inside a Logic project, I get no input signal.
    However, when i go to my NU folder and open GR there, I do get an input signal. I also get the 'file' etc tabs at the top and am able to check settings etc (which of course you can't do when you open GR inside Logic). However, any changes made in GR when it is opened in the folder do not affect the GR opened inside Logic, so there is no point changing anything in the settings.
    The only other strange thing is that in the GR that does have an input signal...it plays both the GR sound that is selected as well as the 'dry' guitar sound, therefore messing up the real sound.
    The fact that I do get a signal in GR when I open it outside of Logic does not help me at all, I need a signal in GR inside of the Logic project so i can make a test recording.
    Does anyone here have a any suggestion or tips please?

    First... when a plugin is used in Logic it is not standalone, in other words, If you aren't getting signal into Logic the plugin will not receive signal on it's own, that's not the way it works. The GR demo is inserted in Logic's signal path, if the signal is not getting into logic it's not going through the GH.
    Alos, Logic runs indepently from the Mac's Audio preferences, so it doesn't matter what you set the Mac's system preferences to, it's only matters how you have Logic's preferences set.
    go here:

    Also, go here and make sure you're using the latest driver:

  • I am getting a DC offset on my input signals using NI 4472 with ICP accelerometers

    I am getting a DC offset on my input signals from my ICP accelerometers. I tried to remove this by selecting AC coupling on the NI-MAX channel setup.

    When you set up a accelerometer virtual channel in MAX with the built-in excitation for the 4472 you will also need to set the DSA Excitation in LabVIEW. The MAX setting for the built-in excitation does not get imported. All the other settings should though, including the coupling. If you are using the built-in excitation you should be using AC coupling.
    Hope this helps.

  • 6602-Can LabVIEW still run without the board having any input signals(in a simulation mode)??

    wheeler

    Wheeler,
    The 6602 can physically run without any thing wired up, but it will not be "simulation" mode. Basically, you can use the internal timebase as a source or gate. For example if you are doing simple event counting, you can count the edges of the internal timebase. If you are doing pulse width measurement, or period measurement you can measure the internal 100kHz timebase. You will also be able to run the pulse train generation programs with the default setting of the internal timebase as the source.
    The real answer to your question is that you do not need inputs wired up, but you do need to measure a signal (internal timebase) to get valid readings. So you can not do true simulation mode, but you can still program and test your program without your
    intended input signals.

  • Would like to know the meaning of the Input Signal Channel Indicators on Denon 2311CI

    The manual has no information on the meaning of these indicators on the display. For example, why is it that when I have a DVD or Apple TV as the source, the Input Signal Channel Indicators on the left side of the display show only LF and RF (left front/right front), while it shows LF, RF, C, SL and SR (left/right front, center, left/right surround) when I have my satellite box tuned to the major networks?

    When you connect a device that has only stero output (not multicahnnel sound), then you will only see the standard stereo menu,  Your apple products do not output multichannel sound, at least not in the manner you have them hooked yup to the reciever.

  • Input signal out of range with HDMI to VGA adapter LE1901w

    Hi!
    Recently I acquired an LE1901w monitor to use as second screen. I'm trying to connect it to my Toshiba u925 using an HDMI to VGA adapter (because neither the monitor has a HDMI port nor the notebook has a VGA output).
    I'm getting the message "input signal out of range" asking to change to 1440x920 @ 60Hz and it keeps showing until the monitor goes to sleep even when I change the settings as per requested.
    I have an integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 and i'm using the default Windows monitor drivers for Windows 8.1
    Any comment will be helpful
    Thanks

    Hello @fbinim,
    I understand that you are getting the message "Input Signal Out Of Range" and it is asking you to change to 1440x920 @ 60 Hz. I suspect this is a driver issue and you will need to ensure that your drivers are up to date on your computer. Just to be sure I would recommend if you could to move the HP LE1901W monitor to another computer and ensure that you do not have the problem there. If you do have it on another computer The issue you are experiencing appears to be a physical issue. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836.

  • How to create 2 output signal locked in phase from a one input signal

    Hi all,
    I have a case in which I want read in a signal analog input (voltage) from a photodiode, I want to create a 2 sinewave signal locked in with same phase as the input signal and output them as analog output to my 2 laser diode. the frequency of the input signal is low aroud 15 Hz , the 2 output signal i want to be  around 120 hz and 150 hz . 
    I am using USB - 6003 daq card.
    I have created a vi to see the input signal but I dnt know how to create 2 signal from the waveform generator locked in the phase as the input signal. I have seen a PLL vi , but dont know how to use that with my program.
    can any one tell me how to proceed.
    thanks

    Also, you should be able to find a lot of examples on how to accomplish the synchronization of tasks on the community, if you consider that the only consideration is that both must start at the same moment. 
    I hope, these examples might show you some useful concepts:
