Is there a "signal builder" block in labview

Hi all,
I am new to labview and i have the following question. I have build a vehicle model in simulink in which i have applied different types of road inputs. The inputs have been created with the signal builder block, because some of them are really customised potholes and bumps. I am trying to build the same model with labview simulation module. Is there a similar block in order to create my input and if not, do you have any idea how is this possible. I also tried to translate my model into labview but the build the translator was not able to translate the build signal blocks.
Thanks

Hi,
If you are using the Simulation Module, you can actually do the profile easily by combining the Lookup Table block with the Simulation Time. See the VI and picture attached.

  • Is there an integratio​n block in Labview like Simulink?

    I am interested in modeling differential equations for a mechanical system in Labview. I have used Simulink in the past and there are blocks available for integration and differentiation. How can this be implemented using Labview? Thanks. Frank

    I guess that there is integration x(t) that can do the job.
    However it is not causal since the integrated signal is obtained as y n =
    f (x n-1, x n, x n+1 ) where x n is the singal to integrate.
    Therefore, it is not reentrant like all IIR filters in Labview. I got a
    Labview example making it practically reentrant for my app from
    Jean-Claude Drolet last year. Thanks again Jean-Claude. It cam handy in my
    vibration app.
    Differentiation is a trickier business in practice since this increases HF
    noise tremendously. I would suggest you make your own IIR filters to
    introduce a time constant to get around this classical data processing
    hurdle. Labview provides all tools to do that.

  • When Building Blocks Explode in Microsoft Word

    Pushing out a Word 2010 SP1 template to approximately 150+ machines. There are several building blocks on the template, two of which are causing me problems. The major difference seen is that these problematic building block options contain nested content
    controls.
    When I click the option in the building block with nested content controls, the building block control stretches to 19 pages.  The option should only be the length of an ordinary five sentence paragraph.
    Fired up a Virtual Machine to see how the template behaved there.  It works fine.  Tried on a laptop... no problem.  This led me to believe that since I had a dev machine with visual studio and vsto and such, that my machine was just 'special'.
    Until... one of my beta users ran into the same problem with there basic non dev laptop.
    Have tested on about 10 machines and so far it is just the 2 that are having problems.  Have un/re installed which was a no go.
    Any ideas as to what causes this?  Missing Update, Registry Setting, Word Setting

    Do not delete normal.dot or normal.dotm!
    You can rename these as a diagnostic but deleting them can cost you many hours of work without providing any benefit.
    Is Word 2010 the program on each computer?
    Did any of them have earlier versions of Word on them? When they open Word from scratch, do any of them show "Compatibility Mode" in the title bar?

  • Service Request Building Block

    Hello everyone,
    We are currently evaluating the use of the Service Request for a incident/'alarm" tracking scenario.
    In this regard, does anyone know if there is a building block configuration guide for this? I was looking in the Best Practices but i was unable to find a specific one for Service Request. I would appreciate any help, or extra info.
    Many thanks in advance,

  • Is there any way to block PR changes when PO exists in project builder

    Dear All,
    Could you please advice...is there any way to block PR changes (quantity,price, etc) when PO exists in project builder ?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Nies

    Hi Nies,
    If you are not using the material then you can go for Validation, under Operative Structure> Network> Validation.
    Attach the validation with OPSA click on Automatic.
    In the second scenario if you are using Material Component, as Mr.Muralidharan said OPSG there you can restrict the change by selecting Error Message.
    1. Tcode OPSG in Setting see all the object are selected.
    2. Click on Component tab under change in Purchase Order Exist tab select Error.

  • How can I build Oscillator in LabVIEW?

    I want to generate a signal like square wave or close to square wave. Time duration 2 or 3 sec. Any idea how to build it in LabVIEW please?

    Nadjil wrote:
    I want to have control on Led. I am using the analog output. I can change it from 0 (0 volt) to max (5 volt).
    First: I want to give max. to keep the Led on. I want to keep it on for period of time.
    Second: After that I want to give square wave to the same Led. I want every 2 or 3 second to give a pulse to the Led. Also I want to keep it on for period of time.
    Use a loop and a shift register.  Wire in the initial value (5) to the left side shift register.  Inside the loop, do some arithmetic to toggle between 5V and 0V and wire the result to the right shift register.  Also wire this result to your analog device input.  When the loop runs, the value will toggle between 0V and 5V.  Put a delay inside the loop for the time you want the LED to be on/off.
    There are many ways to toggle between 0V and 5V.  You can create a case statement like:  if 0 then 5, else 0.  You can compare the value to 5 and use a selector function to pass the opposite value.  You can use a boolean instead of a value, and use a selector to pass 0/5 depending upon the boolean.  To toggle the boolean, use a NOT function.  My favorite is a simple subtraction.  Output = 5 - Input.  If input is 0, output is 5, if input is 5, output is 0.
    I've given you basics.  I leave the coding up to you to help you learn better.

  • Build error in LabVIEW 8.5

    Hi,
    An error as follows has occurred when building the exe file:
    Visit the Request Support page at ni.com/ask to learn more about resolving this problem. Use the following information as a reference:
    Error 1502 occurred at Invoke Node in AB_Source_VI.lvclass:Close_Reference.vi->AB_Build.lvclass:Copy_Files.vi->AB_Application.lvclass:Copy_Files.vi->AB_Build.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_EXE.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_Build.lvclass:Build_from_Wizard.vi->AB_UI_FRAMEWORK.vi->AB_Item_OnDoProperties.vi->AB_Item_OnDoProperties.vi.ProxyCaller
    Possible reason(s):
    LabVIEW:  Cannot save a bad VI without its block diagram.
    Method Name: Save:Target Instrument
    The code was built successfully in all previous version. Only a few minor changes to the latest code: a global variable was added and a few calculation algorithm were updated. 
    Does anyone have any idea about this error?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jean

    Hello AOrtin,
    Another possible workaround for this issue is to use the additional exclusions section of Application builder.  Uncheck all of the items on this category as shown below.
    Also, are you getting the exact same error as described above?  There were two bug fixes in LabVIEW 8.5 for Error 1502 when building EXEs but you mentioned that you are already using LabVIEW 8.5.

  • What are the required building blocks to place part of an application into the cloud?

    Hi there,
    I have a Windows client/server business management/accounting application written in VBA/Access.
    I am thinking of making small parts of the application available in the cloud, for example QUOTES.
    First of all, I am not sure if this forum is the right place to ask these questions!
    I would like users to be able to access their quotes via tabled or smart phone and be able to add or modify records.
    I am interested to find out what building blocks are required to achieve this.
    My initial thoughts are as follows:
    The user exports their quotes from the application (A) in XML format
    The user uploads the XML data into SQL server on my website (?)
    The user logs into a mobile app (B) that is connected to the SQL server
    The user adds/modifies records in app (B)
    The user then downloads their records in XML format from SQL server from my website (?)
    The XML data is read and updated in application (A)
    In terms of the SQL server I was also wondering if each user should have their own database or whether all users should use the same table QUOTES for example?
    Any hints or tips would be really appreciated and many thanks in advance...
    Have a wonderful day...
    Kind regards,
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss the VS IDE issue.
    I have a Windows client/server business management/accounting application written in VBA/Access.
    Just to make this issue clearly, is it related to the Office development like this MSDN document?
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee814735(v=office.14).aspx
    If it is related to the Office development, I suggest you post this issue to the
    Office development forum like this thread “How
    to move an Access App with VBA to the Cloud w/o re-coding? Amazon Web Services Virtual Machine ? Or What ?”.
    If not, please feel free to let me know, I will help you find the correct forum for this issue.

  • How to get the name of the selected building block in a building block content control?

    Hello,
    How can I obtain the name of the selected building block in a building block content control?
    I want to use this together with an on exit-event to populate other content Controls depending on the name of the selected building block item.
    Environment: Word 2010.
    Thanks,
    Peeter

    Hi Peeter,
    As far as I know the building block is the pre-built content, and the
    BuildingBlock object represents a building block in a template. After add the building block to the document, it inserts the content to the document.
    Building blocks are stored in the templates, therefore, to access the building blocks available for a document, we need to access an attached template.
    So, I think, we can’t obtain selected building block in the document.
    There are some links that may benefit you:

  • Application Builder error in LabVIEW 7.0

    I am maintaining some legacy code in LabVIEW 7.0.  I have recently (perhaps within the last month or so) been getting Error 1003 in Dist Copy Non-VI Files.vi (part of App Builder) when building my code.  I've done some testing, including trying to build much simpler VIs, and get the same error.  Curiously, this occurs on multiple (Windows XP SP3) machines, both "real" and "virtual", including on two of three installations on a single PC (so it is not hardware-dependent).
    I have a strong suspicion that the problem is neither my code nor LabVIEW itself, based on the following logic:  1) This problem arose on multiple PCs at about the same time (i.e. I don't recall seeing this a few months ago, now I see it on almost all of my PCs).  2) There are two PCs where I do not see this error -- when I check the LabVIEW installation files between a PC that "works" and one that doesn't, the differences seem (to me) to be small, more related to "what did I do most recently" or "how much of MAX did I install, which drivers".  (3) Using or not using OpenG in my code mades no difference, nor does turning off Anti-Virus scans.
    I tried two other things.  First, I have a VM that I recently build (which I think is significant) that has both LabVIEW 7.0 and LabVIEW 7.1.  The build fails with LabVIEW 7.0, but succeeds with LabVIEW 7.1.  In addition, I found a VM, built a year ago and "sitting idle", with LabVIEW 7.0 on it.  I fired it up, did not allow Microsoft Update to update anything, and tried the build with LabVIEW 7.0 -- it worked!
    My current working hypothesis is that some "patch" installed by Microsoft (.NET? ActiveX?) has clobbered something in the LabVIEW 7.0 Build Application.  Unfortunately, the VIs that make up this application are password-protected, so I can't see "inside" to discover what file or other condition is responsible for the error message.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?  [Don't suggest "Upgrade to 7.1" -- I'm the only "maintainer" of multiple PCs and multiple applications, some of which run on systems "belonging" to other people.  I am in the process of rewriting the code in "modern LabVIEW" (2011) and will port it widely, but until then, it's not practical (or "politically correct") to make the 7.0 -> 7.1 shift ...  Besides, my curiousity is piqued!]
    Bob Schor
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Good point.  The reason for my "laser beams" is several fold.  First, I follow a written protocol (I wrote it!) whenever I install or re-install LabVIEW 7.0, so I'm pretty sure that all of the installations "should be consistent" (if not identical).  Second, I compared two NI folders in Program Files between a version that worked and one that didn't, and while there were differences, it seemed "not likely" to be an explanation.  Third, I'm 99% sure that at least one of the systems that now cannot build (of the eight installs, all by me, that I've checked, only three worked, and one was on a PC that hadn't been turned on in over a year, hence was certainly not updated) was able to build previously (i.e. I don't recall seeing this problem until about a week ago, when I started re-building an update to my legacy application).  It is possible that this problem was always present on these systems, but doesn't seem likely.
    Nevertheless, before the beginning of next week, I plan to take one of my "failing" systems, uninstall LabVIEW (but not change the OS in any way), reinstall it, and see if I can build.  If this still fails, I'll take the "old" system I mentioned above and start bringing it "up to speed" until I "break" the App Builder.  Note that it is possible that MicroSoft is not to blame -- I have other software (such as editors, utilities like WinZip, etc.) that have also been updated, and one of them might have clobbered the Builder.
    Will let you all know what I find.

  • How to reproduce Building Blocks Synth apple loop

    hi, a very specific question that you cant answer unless you listen to sample in question -  a sample in LPX apple loops called Building Blocks Synth. There is a bass line and a recurring synth chord which closes out every time it appears I  think with some kind of filter effect - a bit like a closing hi hat on a plucky synth - a sound I  just think is fantastic, but for the life of me cannot work out how it is done. If you get a chance can you cast your expert ear and for those experts , let me know how you think you get the synth sound and  effect. You can hear it better if you copy into a track and boost the high end and low end  EQ .
    I would not normally ask such a question on here but it is bugging me and I could spend my life looking at tutorials to try and work out what it is but not get there.
    Many thanks in advance for anybody who takes the time to listen to it.
    A related question if anyone happens to know: if I include the loop in a song and successfully commercialise it, is it royalty fee?

    I have a a problem a bit like the one described previously.
    In Set. 2007 I bought my first mac...an iMac 24".
    3-4 months later I had trouble with my HD. The tech support told me that my HD was damaged and could not be fixed. They couldn`t explain why, but they changed my old HD with a new one and problem solved.
    Last month as I was installing the snow leopard operating sistem my iMac froze in the midle of the instalation procedure. I turned it off holding down the power button, and when I turned the power back on I got that flashing folder with a question mark in the middle. In short...after trying everything (formating, partitioning etc) I took it to the shop to hava a look.
    The tech guy just got off the phone with me saying that my HD was damaged and could not be repaired. The only solution is to replace it with a new one.
    In 2 years I had to change 2 HD`s!!!!
    My only guess is that bootcamp might have something to do with it cause it frooze the computer lots of times requiring me to turn it off by pressing and holding down the power button one to many times.
    Does anybody know any other reason for this to have happended?
    Could the installation of snow leopard have had anything to do with this?

  • Is anyone aware of a Building Block for Blackboard and iTunesU?

    We are having some difficulties getting our authentication up and running using our Blackboard system as the transfer authority to iTunesU. We are trying this with the Perl script but may not be working at this right. I thought that there might be enough Blackboard users and programming gurus out there that perhaps someone is working on a Building Block to use with Blackboard and iTunesU.

    We have a process to go from Desire2Learn to iTunesU. You should be able to do the same sort of thing with blackboard.
    What we did, is we setup a javascript post request coming out of Desire2Learn. This post request contains the course name, username and a few other important bits of information. This request goes to one of our servers which processes the passed information, and generates the necessary itunes tokens and then startes the itunes u authentication process.
    There is no reason why you couldn't do something similiar in blackboard. Either way, you are going to need a "middleman" server to intercept the request out of Blackboard, and then process it and iniatiate the iTunes U authentication process.
