LCD display using DAQ USB6008

hello,
firstly, im stil new to LabVIEW actually...hope someone can help me out with my problem.
thanks a lot for those who willing to help..
im trying to use the DAQ USB6008 to simulate a 16 x 2 character LCD display.
im using LabVIEW 8.5...
can anyone teach me how to simulate the LCD using LabVIEW and the DAQ USB6008 ?

The good news is that the 6008 has 12 digital lines so you don't have to work the data in two 4 bit operations. It also looks like the data is represented as ASCII. You will convert each character you want to display into a string and you can type cast that to a numeric. Wire that value to a digital DAQmx Write. Something like is shown below. It does not show the control lines. It looks like you would just need to add the signal to clock the data in.

Connecting Macbook Pro to LCD Display using MiniDVI to HDMI Cable

I currently use an LCD TV to play movies from my Macbook Pro via the MiniDVI - HDMI cable. At the moment I just connect everything up and then use the Mirror Display in the arrangement settings. So my laptop screen is the same as my LCD TV screen. What I want to be able to do though is watch the movie on the LCD TV and also use the laptop to go on the internet, is this possible???

Yes. Turn off mirroring in the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference.

Introduction of LCD display

LCD display, known as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), belongs to a flat panel display. Used for TV and computer screen.
【Introduction】
Liquid crystal display (LCD) used in digital watches and many portable computers. LCD display uses two pieces of polarized material, between them is the liquid crystal solution . Current through the liquid crystal will rearrange so that the light is not available through them. Thus, each crystal is as shutters, not only can allow light through but also can block it. Liquid crystal display (LCD) technology are now moving toward to light, thin, short, and small, he traditional CRT display which has a long history in computer peripheral products, display is also no exception.Under the title of easy to carry and transport, the tranditional display method such as CRT display and LED display boards, etc., are subject to too large or even giant power consumption and other factors, can not reach the user's actual needs. The liquid crystal display technology development is in line with the current trend of information products, no matter in right-angle display, low power consumption, small size, or zero radiation, etc., all can allow users to enjoy the best of the visual environment.

LED is just the method of backlighting. The display panel is still LCD. Typical LCD panels (including iMac and some other Apple LCDs) still use CCFL (Cold cathode fluorescent lamp) for backlighting. The unibody MacBooks (and the LED Cinema Display) have moved on use LEDs.
So they are still LCD displays in either case. The only difference is the source of the backlighting. LEDs are supposed to provide more even lighting, if designed right. They also do not fade in brightness over time and use, like CCFLs, and are more energy efficient.

How to use DAQ Assistant to display two analog channels in a XY Graph

Hi,
I am new to LabVIEW. I have been assigned a project in which i have to display two analog signals from an analog potentiostat i.e. voltage and current (also a voltage signal) on a graph using labview. I am using a myDAQ device to acquire these analog signals and I am using labview 2013 to display these signals on a graph. I am using DAQ assistant to configure these signals. Rightnow I have separate graphs for each channel. However, I want a single XY graph to display one voltage as a function of the other i.e. I want to have voltage on the X-axis and current output on the Y axis. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
I have attached a screenshot of the VI. that I have made.
Regards,
Max

Thanks for the quick response. I was able to make a X-Y graph. However, I can only see a dot floating around. It's not drawing anything. I want to see it making a plot as it collects data. Also, I want to see the complete waveform formed when I stop the VI.
Thanks,

FPGA - RIO Evaluation Board - Using the LCD Display

I have the NI LabVIEW RIO Evaluation Board and am trying to find information on using the LCD display. Does anyone know of any documentation/app notes? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestions ramses64.
I failed to mention that I didn't install the software that came with the evaluation kit. The reason being, I already have LabVIEW and all the modules installed. I was not about to overwrite my perfectly good installation even if the instructions on the box tell me it is perfectly safe to do so.
If there are examples with the kit, then they are buried in an installer/cab file and not directly accessible by simply looking at the CD/DVD contents. I should install the evaluation software onto a virtual machine and see what is revealed.
I'll take a look at the LCD Module this evening and see if it provides any clues.
Thanks!

Is it ok to keep PB closed while using an LCD display?

Hello,
I was wondering if it is "ok" to keep my Powerbook display closed while using my LCD display. Are there any advantages/disadvantages? Is it better for the screen life of the PB? Is it keeping heat in? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks much.
John

I would have a tendency to agree with Tom Fussy, as I also noticed this page from Apple:
http://www.apple.com/powerbook/graphics.html
This page most specifically speaks to using the system with the lid closed, and so I figure it must be okay. Personally AppleCare is on my system, so if it fries following what is posted on the Apple Website, it concerns me not, as I would just take it into Apple for repair. However, I understand a person would not want to do something he knew would cause a failure to the hardware anyway, if not for the minimum of an inconvenience of being without the laptop while it is being repaired.

Can the front LCD Display Panel be use to send custom messages?

Hi all
Can the front LCD Display Panel on Rack mount servers like the P1-1000 or the MS-9218 be used to send custom messages?
Thanks
Carlos

You better ask MSI that directly, as I doubt anybody in here can answer that question.

Is it possible to use a 13in Macbook Pro LCD Display on a MacBook

I have an Early 2008 13in MackBook (white) and was wondering if it were at all possible 2 switch it with an Early 2008 13in MacBook Pro LCD Display?? lol

BUMP!! lol Any1?? lol

The display used to flicker, now it's completely white! PLease HELP!

So, my display used to flicker with horizontal lines all over it, and slightly adjusting the angle of opening would fix this, but about a week ago it lightened a few times, then got stuck being really light with the desktop being barely visible, though better from way down angle (if you open it all the way out) and looking like a negative from the way up angle. I restarted it, and the problem persisted. I shut it down for a day, and, upon startup, the screen is now completely white with nothing visible on it. I had connected the PB to my tv using the s-video out jack on the back and I can see the desktop clearly on it, but it's extremely difficult to read any text, largely due to my tv being big and not hi-def. So far I had tried fixing or diagnosing it by switching resolutions and calibration in the "display" area of System prefs and also in universal access "seeing" tab, I've reset the PMU and still nothing. Here's what's going on: if I start visualizer on the iTunes, both the TV and the stock display flicker to black, then the TV does the visualizer thingy and the display goes back to white. The apple logo backlight is on no problem at all times as well. The laptop was never dropped, handled roughly or subjected to extreme temps. The flickering problem had first appeared when I had relized that I only had about a minute for the battery to go completely empty (my 'puter is almost 3 years old). The recall for the displays covers laptops manufactured about 2 months after mine, otherwise all the symtoms listed in the recall match. Does anyone know what I should do next? I had read about getting a new LCD inverter, but at the same time I am now unemployed and really have no dough.... I'm a sound engineer, and I need my PB to be mobile. The only thing that had happened recently is that I installed the newer version of Pro Tools on my machine, LE 6.9. Please HELP!

You might have to restore the pictures from your ""backup" you have on iCloud. But, then again, that would put your iPhone back to the last state it was in when doing that backup. But at least you would have all your pictures back.
iin any case, I wouldn't do any further backups or any changes to your iCloud account, until you've got your pictures back again. Proceed cautiously and carefully at this point, until you get an answer that will safely restore the pictures.

Mega865 - No LCD Display

I' have the problem describe in the "Important Threads - Things to know before (and after) building a Mega 865".
When I receive my Mega865, i tried it without processor and it seams works well. So I assemble it to work in PC mode and all is OK too.
Because I had the sound problem (no device found), I read the "Important Threads" and so I realise that my LCD display was not working too (i only use PC mode at this time).
I don't know if the two problems are in connection.
The sound problem disapear but I have still no Front Lcd Display.
I flashed the bios with the new version (1.3) and verified all the connectors that i could see.
What can I do more ? Is my MoBO dead ?
Thanks for your answer.
Vincent

i think it might have something to do with the proximity sensor and that sensor disables the phone functions when in call mode so that you do not accidentally press any other buttons.i think that it disables the touch screen when you put it close to your face. once you hand up the phone, it returns to normal operations right?

MacBook suddenly won't detect my display, Using Mini Display Port to VGA?

MacBook suddenly won't detect my display, Using Mini Display Port to VGA?

dohdoh1985, I have the exact same problem also! I recently bought a 42" RCA LCD TV. I connected my MacBook Pro to my TV using a Dynex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter that I got from BestBuy. It worked great until I upgraded to Mac OS 10.6.4 and then it suddenly stopped working. Same TV, same settings, same cables, same adapter. Nothing changed since the last time it worked except that my OS was upgraded to 10.6.4, so i am assuming that is the culprit. The symptoms are EXACTLY the same as what dohdoh1985 described; when I plug in the TV, the laptop display flashes (3 times) as though it is detecting an external display and the picture on the TV briefly goes from blue to black for about 1 second then back to blue. The TV does not appear in the display menu / control panel and there is no sign that the MacBook detected it. I went through the usual troubleshooting steps (reset PRAM, checked connections, tv settings, etc) but nothing worked. Other HDMI sources (i.e. Blu-ray player) work fine on the TV using the same HDMI cable on the same port so there is nothing wrong with the cable, the TV or the TV's input settings.
Meanwhile, I can still connect my MacBook to my external ViewSonic monitor at work without any problems. It's just the TV that's not working.
I cancelled my cable subscription a while ago since I only watch shows online nowadays and this was my only way of watching TV shows, so I'm quite upset.
Apple, please help!

About monitors and LCD displays

I want give you some directrices about the display sub system.
Like you all know there are CRT monitors and LCD displays.
CRT
CRT monitors are based upon electron beams hitting Electroluminescent phosphorus. In these monitors the most important parameters are:
1) Dot pitch
2) Refresh rate
Dot pitch is the size of a single phosphorus point, smaller is better. Typical values range between 0.24 and 0.25. Beware with monitors having a not constant dot pitch, there are monitors with dot pitch of 0.24 at center of screen and 0.25 at the borders. I recommend monitors with constant dot pitch size across all screen.
Refresh rate is the number of times a single electron beam travels across the screen drawing a single frame (from left to right and top to bottom) each second. It is measured in Herz (Hz). Bigger is better. Typical values range between 60 Hz and 120 Hz and the value depends upon resolution, more resolution goes to less possible refresh rate. If you are going to play games with shutter glasses, make sure your monitor is capable of 120 Hz minimun at the playing resolution. In 3D Stereo, each full 3D frame must be drawn 60 times/second (60 Hz) but a 3D frame is a single right eye frame and a single left eye frame, 60 Hz for left frame and 60 Hz for right frame are the full 120 Hz. If you CRT is not capable of these 120 Hz your eyes will suffer fatigue / strain and you would have a great headache after prolonged time periods.
LCD
A LCD display do not uses a electron beam to excite phosphorus and generate colored points, instead this it uses a grille and a special lamp. Instead drawing a frame line at line from top to bottom and left to right, it renders the frame in a step only and continuously, these displays are flat for this, there is no necesity for high voltage and magnetic fileds to move the electron beam. In these displays these are the more important parameters:
1) Dot pitch
2) Response time
3) Number of colors (color space)
Dot pitch is the same as with CRTs
Reponse time is the time it gets going from pure white to pure black. Less is better. It is measured in miliseconds. Good typical values range about 16 ms. If you are going to use the LCD to play games, response time is the more important parameter at all.
Number of colors are the simultaneus colors in screen. It have a inverse relationship with response time. It is measured in million of colors or bits. 24 bits of color depth are 16.7 million of colors. Typical values range agout 16 / 16.7 millions. Greater is better. LCDs with 16 ms response time have, usually, 16.5 millions of colors.
Somethimes, the manufacturer will provide you drivers (setup or inf files) for your operating system. I recomend install this drivers. Don't panic if there are no drivers for your display device, Windows, probably, will find the suitable driver for your brand and model.
If you have a CRT and you are stuck at 60~85 Hz you will need the right driver because Windows would not have found a suitable driver from its drivers base and it chose a standard monitor driver.
If you have a LCD and you are stuck at 60 Hz, all is fine, as i have told you yet, LCD displays paint the screen continuously, you will not appreciate any flicker at 60 Hz in these devices. You can check this if you have a digital camera, make a photo of a CRT with a shutter of <monitor refresh rate> * 1.5. You will see a partially drawn picture. If you take a photo of a LCD with the same shutter rules you will get a full picture. With LCD you will get full pictures always, independently of the shutter.
I hope al this info will be helpful to you.

I have found a very interesting link on the Anandtech Web site about LCDs, it is a old one but i think it will be useful.

Mac Mini LCD Display - finally got it working but....

Hello,
I've posted on here many times about using the mac mini with my LCD display. The display runs at 60hz and a 640 x 480 resolution. For about four weeks, the mac mini would not connect to my screen. I installed display config x and had something of a result. By loading the mac mini up with my old pc monitor plugged in and then switching the vga plug once the mini was loaded, I managed to get a picture!
Just when I thought my troubles were over, I realised that when the mini went to sleep, if I woke it up I had exactly the same problem. I would have to plus it into my pc monitor, wake it up then switch it with my LCD VGA cable.
Is there anyway round having to do this every time I want to use my mini?
Thanks
Mark

Check out the manual for "Autoload" -- that's the name of the song file that's automatically loaded each time you start Logic or create a new file. You may want to look at some of the Peachpit books for walking you through creating this file to match your studio and workflow.
Use Caps Lock to bring up a little keyboard on the screen that you can play with your computer keyboard.
To change a track's icon, make sure you can see the track's info in the Arrange window. First select the track you want to work with. Pressing P toggles the properties column on the left. You may have to open up one of the areas using the little drop-down triangle thing, but you'll see an icon for the track in the properties area. Click and hold it to bring up a list of icons. You can create your own icons in the png format. Read the manual if you want to add your own images to Logic's standard icons.

Brand new macbook pro 15" when connected to external LCD display in high resolution ,flickers often

Hi,
I have brand new macbook pro 15" with retina display.
I have connected external LCD display (Samsung B2230) using Apple VGA adaptor & thunderbolt port. But LCD display flickers quite oftenly. I read community blogs where many macbook pro users like me are facing similiar issue.
There is no problem with LCD display as it works fine with Lenova laptops.
Can anybody please provide me the solution to this problem.?
Regards,
Sam

Dual Display using ADC

Hi. I have PowerMac G5, 1.8GHZ with CRT display and NVDA, Display-A. The PCI card has two output, DVI-I and ADC. DVI-I is connected to SONY display and functioning fine. I want to add another display using ADC. I bought ADC-DVI connector from the apple store (Dr Bott ADC DVI exctractor II). I also bought apple's DVI to video adaptor. Using these, I'm trying to make video display on the NTSC monitor.
ADC-DVI-RCA
It doesn't display. Could anyone tell me why it doesn't work?
martha

Greetings,
The ADC-DVI cable only works with LCD monitor, not with CRT. Swap your connection of monitors the other way round and this should work.
