Is it possible to multiplexe 8 analog sensors output into one PXI4472 channel?? can PXI4472 recognize those signals??

I have around 64 analog sensors to connect to PXI4472. Instead of buying 8 PXI4472, is it possible to multiplexe 8 analog sensors output into one PXI4472 channel?? can PXI4472 recognize those signals??

Such a set up is not recommended. Some of the drawbacks are:
Depending on how you plan to multiplex the signals together (SCXI/PXI switch, 3rd party mux), you could very easily be introducing noise to your system.
Multiplexing the signals together into one line limits your sampling rate to the switching speed of you multiplexer device.
You will probably need to spend more time developing handshaking schemes in order for switching and acquisition to occur in such a way that you don't miss signals that you want to acquire.
These are only some of the drawbacks to this setup. All in all, the only functionality of the 4472 board that you would be left with is it's ability to sample all eight channels at the same time. So, you could multi
plex all the signals together, but doing so is not recommended.
However, I have a couple of questions. Do you want to sample all 64 sensors at the same time? Assuming that you are not, how are you planning on multiplexing the signals together? What kind of a chassis are you working with? Please let me know.

In RoboHelp 11 Responsive HTML5, is it possible to have 2 different language outputs in one generated output file?

In RoboHelp 11 Responsive HTML5, is it possible to have 2 different language outputs in one generated output file, similar to WebHelp where the use can select the language from a drop-down list? In Webhelp output you could create multiple Content categories. Is there something similar with the responsive output, or am I forced to have a completely separate set of output files for each language (for example, English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Arabic)?

As Rick, mentions, there's no default way.
Having said that, there's nothing stopping you from doing it yourself. You can add a kind of language selector to the layout and set that for every html5 output. With some JavaScript, you can have the user switch between your outputs. It would look like content categories, but you'll have build it yourself.

Is Possible to Merge Some Infotypes (10 infotypes) into One Infoprovider?

Hi All
I'm really confused with HR Model Data Design. Right now, I need to create report like this (using Bex Analyzer)
(PA0000,PA0001,PA0002)
Name:
Age:
Job Title:
Division:
Section
Date Joined (dd/mm/yyyy)
(another infotype)
Education
Lever | Start Date | End Date
Junior School | 1992 | 1998
Middle School | 1998 | 2001
(another infotype)
Career History
Prev Comp | Start Date | End Date
PT ABC | 2002 | 2003
PT XYZ | 2003 | 2004
My plan, first is to combine all of them into 0EMPLOYEE (become attribute of 0EMPLOYEE).
But this plan is fail because there was an error time overlap dependency.
Because of this, I separate them into DSOs (one DSO for one infotype). Now one thing that I confused is how to combine them into one InfoProvider (InfoCube/Multiprovider/InfoSet), because the key (Begin Date and End Date) are not sync one another.
The simple logic is build like this
Employee Id | Begin Date (PA0001) | End Date (PA0001) | Begin Date (education) | End Date (education) | Begin Date (contract) | End Date (contract) but the combination will be bombastic (the performance will be drop).
Could you anyone help me to solve this? Thank you

Maybe a possible solution to Mac analog surround sound?

wow-big title font. As I'm sure some of you know, we Mac users used to have a few options for analog surround sound. Sadly, those options are gone. However, I've tried something which sort of works okay-not a lot of options, and it's kinda kludgy, but it works. I don't work for the guy, so don't consider this an endorsement. Dr. Lex at www.dr-lex.be has written a CM2602 enabler for Mac OS X. What's that? you might ask, well, the CM2602 is the audio chip used in a couple of outboard USB sound cards for PC, and this little bit of software enables analog/coaxial output and lets the darn thing work with your mac. I'm using a Zalman ZM-RSSC
outboard USB box. Paid about $55 for it, but it does work. All you have to do is find out if there's the right chip in there, grab the software, follow his instructions, and it should work. However....I've found that messing around with the speaker settings doesn't work that well. Just set it to Use encoded Digital Audio and you will get sound. the only other solutions I know of are having a set of speakers with digital audio input ($$$) or some fancy Firewire boxes ($$) so this may be helpful to you
Good luck
John B

sorry folks, I spoke too soon-I shut down my Mac pro, and then started it up today, and...nothing....the usb device is gone...I guess it doesn't stay, I'm guessing I have to reboot my Mac Pro, then plug in the usb device, then mess around with Audio Midi setup...again...
again, I'm sorry-I thought it was a permanent solution, but now I'm kinda embarrassed
I'll have to wait until I get an email from Dr. Lex and see what he says. Of course, it may be that 10.6.8 might have fudged things up-that's been known to happen, alas. My FireWave used to work fine with Tiger and Leopard, then after that....

Splitting the 5.1 optical mbp/imac outputs into 6 analog mono channels?

Hi
is it possible to use the 6 outputs of the optical output of the macbook pro as separate channels?
What do I need to convert/split the signals into 6 analog channels and does Logic/Ableton recognizes the 5.1 as 6 mono channels?
thx!!

sorry to tell you, but no. This is not possible. The 5.1 optical output is only possible by using a special digital encoding that comes with data reduction: AC3. You can't create AC3 streams without relatively large latencies and without buying rather expensive AC3 authoring software components.
However, once you have an AC3 stream you can use ac AC3 compatible audio amplifier to convert it to analog signals. Not very feasible imho. The much simpler and less expensive way would be to buy an audio interface with multichannel support.
Cheers,

VFD noise on other sensor output such as : Thermocouples, Accelerometer, Torque meter

Hi,
I'm using a PCIe-6351 Daq board (and SCB-68) for my test rig. I'm collecting different kinds of sensor outputs through this DAQ board such as temperatures, acceleration, and torque meter output.
beside that, I have connected a VFD (Baldor H2 inventor) using a USB cable to the PC case. I use this VFD to control motor speed. (http://www.baldor.com/products/accontrols/vs_inverter.asp)
Here is my problem:
when I turn on the VFD I get a lot of noise on every signal. This noise is like a peak which repeats every 5-6 seconds.
So it's not 50-60 HZ noise of outlets.
You can see related uploaded video clips on :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4NHDIVV7
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2461Z7KN
I have uploaded some pictures too.
Is there any way that I can filter this noise in Labview? ( I have tried Filtration VI in labview, but couldn't find a correct setting)
How can I get rid of this noise?
I really appriciate your help on this matter.
Thanks.

I can very much identify with this issue. I have a test bench with two motors and corresponding Baldor H2 VFD's on it. I have a variety of sensors such as accelerometers, hall effect sensors, and a torque meter. The bench was put together "professionally" but still get this kind of noise.
The *only* sensor that I have this trouble with is the torquemeter. I get an impulsive EMI blast every 12 seconds on this signal with just one drive turned on. With the other drive turned on, the noise is excessive. I have spent weeks troubleshooting assumed ground-loop faults with the torque meter company's tech rep - to no avail.
I have confirmed that this EMI is from the drive. I hooked up a wire to the signal lead of an oscilloscope's VFD (acting as an antenna) and the noise I get on this oscilloscope is very similar to what I get on my torquemeter. (The noise is present only when the drive is powered up)
The noise from the VFD will not be cured by using a low pass filter. Impulsive type events have very broad band noise.
My new approach is to try and use adaptive noise cancellation to get rid of the the VFDs' EMI on the torquemeter. I gather the noise signal on my DAQ card (PCI-7851-R) by plugging just one wire into the positive port of an AI port and tying a 1 mega Ohm resistor from that port's ground to the AI port; this provides a means of collecting the EMI from the drive with an "antenna." The wire dangles by the side of the VFD with the other end taped up. See the following for a description of adaptive noise cancellation with labview (also possible on an NI FPGA device):
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372357A-01/lvaftconcepts/aft_noise_cancel/
I believe this to be the only sound signal processing means of addressing this issue. I am still struggling to get it to work myself. I'll advice as I progress.

I have an optical sensor and two hall effect how can I data log?

I have built a test rig which consists of a gyroscope. The gyro is spun up by and electric motor.
I need to measure the speed of rotation. I’m using an optical sensor and two Hall
Effect sensors. I would like to record the
output of these and I would like to build in some redundancy because there will
be another bigger rig that will require more measurement. E.g. vibration.
I’m new to data logging so I’m not sure which hardware I
should be getting.
Thanks

analog inputs are the most universal. with software such as the functions included in the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite, you can analyze the analog input channel which is connected to your hall effect and optical sensors for frequency and speed. Vibration specific input cards will power accelerometers. with the speed and angular position sensors (hall effect and optical) you can combine this information with your vibration sensors to determine the movement of the device with respect to position and speed. These order analysis functions are part of the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite.
What is more is that the Suite includes an assistant. The assistant allows for the capture and datalogging of all analog and digital inputs as well as frequency and vibration analysis. This is all configurable and does not require any LabVIEW programming. If you decide you want LabVIEW programming, all the functions are there to support LabVIEW as well.

Measuring the one sensor above and one sensor below

Hi
Cn somebody help me in measuring one sensor above and one sensor below and if thy are almost equal must stop.
I tried doing so, but i dont knw whr it is going wrong. I hv attached the program with this query.
In a large cryogenic storage system, we need to find the level of cryogenic fluids. For ths we a immersed PCB consisting of multiplexers and sensors into the storage system. We need to find the level by passing current to the PCB & measuring voltage at each sensor. We can conform the liquid level by measuring one sensor above and one sensor below the actual level.
Thanks in Advance.

You should submit a little more detail as to what is going wrong. Also, what do V1 through V6 represent? They seem to be read from the same analog input channel. You should try passing those value through with wires rather than using local variables. If so, you could eliminate a large number of your sequence frames.
In the 4th frame of your sequence structure, you could have a race condition. You are reading V4 as a local variable around the same time you are assigning a value to V4 through the DaqMX read. You don't know whether it is using the latest V4 value or the one from the previous iteration.
I would also recommend not using the STOP sign VI. If you have a case where the program should end, you should wire the boolean out of the case structures and to the condition node of the while loop. It will allow the code to end much more cleanly. In your situation, the DaxMX close will never execute because the only way the program ends is through the STOP sign which is the equivalent of hitting the ABORT button.

I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog. Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog. Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
DVI
Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
Analogue
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

My wife and I have seperate itune accounts, but want to merge them into one account or at least merge our seperate purchases into one library. Is this possible?

Basic problem...my wife has her own iTunes account which she purchases music with, I have my own that i have been purchasing music with...however, married now as we have similar tastes in music and dont want to be duplicating albums etc.
Was wondering is it possible to merge the two accounts into one account? Or if not, that we carry on purchasing music but have one shared library. Is this possible, any help appreciated.
Thanks

"Was wondering is it possible to merge the two accounts into one account? "
No.
Just put all of your music/apps/etc on one computer/library. Authorize the computer for both ids.

Apple TV2 missing analog audio output for multi-zone system

Found out the hard way that most receivers can't support digital audio in multiple zones (i.e., Zone 2). Since Apple TV2 (ATV2) dispensed with any analog output, if you have a whole-house system that depends on mult-zone to distribute audio to various speakers, you won't be able to use ATV2 to stream music to anything other than Zone 1. The only outputs are HDMI and optical (both digital audio). I think I found a work around (which, of course costs more money) which is a "de-embedding" device from Atlona that takes HDMI in and splits out the audio to analog and passes the HDMI through to the receiver. The analog audio output then lets me connect to the analog in on the receiver so it can stream to all zones. I figure Apple just didn't have enough real estate on the new product to make room for analog, but it's a pain. Hope this helps someone. If anyone knows a better work-around, I'd love to hear it.

I have the same issue with a MacMini I use for music. My solution was to use an inexpensive optical splitter - one feed to the optical input of my receiver and the second to a DAC. Then run standard RCA audio cables from the DAC to the analog Zone 2 inputs.
Here is a link for a DAC
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10423&cs_id=1042302&pid=6884&seq=1&format=2
They should have the splitter as well.

Is it possible to capture an entire DV tape into a single .avi

I am capturing DV tapes and even if I uncheck the "split scenes" option in the capture window, PE7 still splits the scenes into many .avi files.
Is it possible to capture an entire DV tape into a single file?
Thank-You for your help.

The split is completly turned off and I am getting multiple files anyway!

Is it possible to combine multiple Pur Reqs for multiple materials to one vendor into one PO through MD07?

We have material planners who use MD07 (traffic signal screen) Stock/Requirements List, Collective Access tab to review material requirements by MRP Controller. Once the list is created, they select individual materials and review them in MD04. In a lot of cases, Purchase Reqs (PRs) are reviewed and adopted into POs individually for each material. Sometimes they will combine multiple PRs for one material into one PO. This is a good practice. However, from what I have found, it is not possible to combine multiple PRs for multiple materials into one PO. If this was done it would dramatically reduce the number of POs that we are issuing to suppliers. Problem statement: We issue too many POs which causes additional influxes down the line (receiving dock/goods receipts processing, receiving issues, invoices, invoice issues, etc.). Does anyone know of a way to address this problem without a major overhaul in approach or customization of the system? Thank you in advance!

Hello Michael
As far as I know, this is not possible directly from MD07, only from the MM transactions.
The following thread suggests the following procedure to convert several PRs into one PO:
Conversion of multiple PR into single P.O
Drag and drop the first PR from the item overview to the shopping card on top of ME21N,
then open the PO detail delivery schedule tab and drag and drop all other PR to the shopping card shown in the schedule tab
You can use the same procedure, calling the order conversion from MD07 and then drag and drop another PRs into this PO.
