Measre pulse width of a very narrow pulse

hi,
I have one query.
I have to measure pulse width of a very narrow pulse , may be it is 0.1 ms
or less . I m using the VI , which I m sending u with an attachment
here....I m having doubt that this VI is able to measure the required pulse
with. Sometimes It is giving wrong values too. So Plz suggest some solution
which may fulfill my requirement.
I need the answer at the earliest. I'll be grateful to u.
Regards.

Hi GNS,
If you are using an E Series card or a 660x card, you should have no problem making a fairly accurate pulse width measurement. When performing pulse width measurements, your maximum error will be +/- 1 pulse of your timebase (assuming the crystal oscillator error is negligible). If you are using a 20MHz timebase, you will have a measurement resolution of 50ns. 2000 pulses would occur to measure a 0.1ms signal. Your maximum measurement error will be roughly 1/2000.
If you are trying to measure a mechanical source, there could be "bouncing" which will affect your effective pulse width. This is a situation in which you have several small glitches that occur before and after your main pulse. This is typical with push buttons etc. Anyway, these gl
itches could seriously alter your measurement.
The best way to test your measurement system is to use 1 of your counters to generate a 0.1ms pulse and have the other counter measure it with it's maximum timebase. This will indicate your accuracy.
Hope that helps. Have a good day.

  • I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered

    I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered to reduce contrast. The background is now grey as well rather than white. The accessibility options permit only three choices. First, increase type size. With the the low greyscale, thin typeface, increasing type size makes it HARDER to read. There is no option for contrast enhancement. Third, the background switch options suffers from the same deficit as the white background. The third choice is to enhance brightness but without the option to change contrast, this is useless. Am I missing something? Can this be fixed? How? When? Are you planning a similar negative "update"/change to other devices?

    I am having the same problem. I have gone through every setting, set the bold font, contrast, larger font....everything I could find in any post to try and help - and between the new color scheme that makes it virtually impossible to use the pictures of my grandchildren as background (the picture colors now become the theme colors - which now match the colors of many of the "flat" icons...) I am finding the phone very difficult to use--espeically things like the calendar which has now become very hard to "see" and use. If I can't revert this thing to iOS6, I may have to get a different phone.

  • Why is the green progress/control bar at the bottom of the screen inaccessable or visible only as a very narrow bar at the far left side of the screen?

    When trying to watch online movies in full screen mode, the green control/progress bar that should appear at the bottom of the screen is sometimes covered by another screen, and sometimes appears as only a very narrow green bar at the far left edge of the screen. This problem does not occur in Safari. I have tried full screen mode with all plugins disabled, but this did not cure the problem. This is a fairly recent development.

    In the music app play a song and when the song starts to play in the screen where the progress bar was tap in the middle of the screen and it should be back. I had this problem too but then i figured it out. And trust me if u do that it will be back. If that doesnt work tell me.

  • Adobe Reader view in Internet Explorer is very narrow

    I am able to open PDF files inside Internet Explorer but they show up in a 2 inch wide (or so) column on the left side of the screen and I am unable to get this very narrow view to widen. The PDF is there but very very small. Zooming in works but again all I can see is 2 inches or so of the left hand side. The right hand side is solid black as if the plugin is just sized down to be very narrow. I've reinstalled Acrobat Reader but still have the issue. Has anyone ever seen this?

    Does this happen on every site?  Try opening the PDF on this site

    Does it happen here as well?
    Can you provide a screenshot on how that looks?

  • When viewed on QHD display, HTML messages are very narrow and zooming doesn't change width.

    I am migrating to a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 with 3200x1600 13.3" display. I am using ESR17 due to plug-in compatability issues with newer versions (primarily the Funambol plugin for Calendar sync.) I have had to increase the font size to 24 to be able to see the folders and message subjects. I increased the font inside normal text messages using <ctrl><+> but when I view HTML messages, the formatted message body only fills 1/3 of the message pane and using <ctrl><+> only increases the size of the font inside this width resulting in more and more wrapping until single words have to be wrapped.o
    Is this issue fixed in a newer version of Thunderbird? Is there a Calendar sync client for Funambol (OneMediaHub) or Google Calendar that works with the newer version? (I have used Funambol to sync my Calendar with my phone (was BB, now Android) for many years.
    Thanks
    Gerard

    I have DPI set to 200. Most of Thunderbird 17 respects this but HTML messages do not. The scroll bar for message body is also verrry narrow. And the icons on the menu bar (e.g. Switch to Calendar Tab) are mircoscopic.
    You didn't say which version of Thunderbird addresses these QHD display issues.
    I have tried Google Calendar sync but I have had trouble with offline use. Last time I tried it Google's address book seems to be missing fields supported by Thunderbird's address book.

  • Explain plan window, "operation" column is very narrow in 2.1 EA2

    When widened, it becomes narrow in next attempt to get an explain plan.

    Hi Raghu,
    SQL Dev 2.1 Prod.
    A simple way to replicate this issue is :
    - Invoke an execution plan for query against partitioned table
    The execution plan gets narrowed every time partition start and partition stop column appear.
    And execution plan against non-partitioned table will re-adjust the column width to its preserved size.

  • Third-party widget not displaying properly (c/p code set to 700px width, shows up as narrow mobile width)... any suggestions?

    My client is wanting to update the Store page on his website to an integrated BandPage widget. He set the width to 700px on their site, but when I copy/pasted the code into Muse & publish, it only displays as a narrow mobile version (hidden sample link: http://www.griffinanthony.com/storewidget). We contacted BandPage to make sure everything's set correctly on their end; they've assured us it is. We can't figure out why it's not working in Muse -- should be as simple as the many other widgets we placed throughout his site?!
    Here's the code BandPage generated: <script async src="//www.bandpage.com/extensionsdk"></script><div class="bp-extension" data-bandpage-bid="453666329342337024"></div>
    ..set to a grid layout (attach'd).
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thx!

    FYI - I figured out a way around this by dragging out the border handles of the placed code; it automatically jumped to the width it was meant to be (attach'd). Hope this tip helps others in case they're faced with a similar dilemma.

  • Larger iWeb Page/Window Width... too narrow by default!

    My iWeb Window frame is too small (too narrow). I feel like I have little room to work with (there's too much "idle" space on the left and right sides); when I look at other sites (including this iWeb Forum Page), their Width's are wider. Is there any way to expand the default width on iWeb, so I can use more than 1/3 of each page?

    The best width is 980px which is what Apple use. Change this in the Page inspector Layout window.
    Also, see my post here....

  • Report width in postscript-VERY URGENT

    Hi guys,
    I am making a report whose output has to be generated in postscript.In HTML format the output is fine but in postcript the report is cut off from the right side(WIDTH). Is there any workaround to solve the problem.Any help will be appreciated

    Is it a Portrait or Landscape? The WIDTH param changes accordingly.

  • Why isn't my Face Time screen expanding when I press the arrow buttons? I am getting a very narrow view. I want the entire screen.

    Why isn't my Face Time view expanding to show the entire screen when I press the arrows on the corners of the screen? I'm only getting a narrow view.

    If you've tried holding down both buttons together for 30-60 seconds and still nothing, you need to make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have it evaluated. They will give you your options at that time.

  • I am using a Conditiona​l Retrieval Trigger but only recording data around a very narrow band relative to the set point. Any thoughts? Thanks

    Since I am pretty new to LabView, I have tried to build this with examples given and have things running my way except for this trigger problem. I would like to have my acquisition channel serve as my trigger channel and only log data after this point is reached and stop after the level goes back under the set point.

    I apologize, but I did not realize what hardware you were using previously. The 6024E card does not have analog triggers. It only supports digital triggering. Therefore, you will be unable to configure an analog start and stop trigger.
    In order to configure a digital start and stop trigger, you may want to look at the following example program.
    Continuously Acquiring Analog Signals Using a Digital Start and Stop Trigger in LabVIEW
    http://venus.ni.com/stage/we/niepd_web_display.DIS​PLAY_EPD4?p_guid=B45EACE3ED3556A4E034080020E74861&​p_node=DZ52308&p_submitted=N&p_rank=&p_answer=&p_s​ource=Internal
    The work-around since your board does not support analog triggering is to use conditional retrieval, which implements a circular buffer in c
    omputer memory and checks each point as it is acquired to see if it matches the trigger conditions. When the trigger conditions are met LabVIEW reads the desired data from the buffer. Since the program you are pointing me to uses conditional retrieval, I will assume you already knew of this work-around. Basically you will no longer be performing a hardware trigger. Instead you will just be checking each input value to see if it falls in an acceptable range. Unfortunately, the VI you attached to your post is missing subVIs. I cannot open your attachment and run it with the broken subVIs. You will need to save your application as a library (llb) in order for me to view it.

  • I am thinking of submitting a very simple and very narrow app that performs

    a few basic calculator functions that real estate people use all the time. These functions can be found in other more comprehensive calculator apps now on the market, but I think that I can market this app successfully. Does it make sense to develop and submit this, or is it so basic and limited that the reviewer would simply discount it as there are so many other apps that contain this function that are far broader.

    It's really difficult for anyone here to say what Apple might or might not deem to be redundant. If you're an iOS developer program member, there are App Store resources and information here:
    http://developer.apple.com/appstore/
    that should be of help. But you may not be able to get a definitive yes/no until the app is developed and Apple can see what it does.

  • I want to measure the width of a single pulse on a line.

    Hi
    I want to measure the pulse width of a single pulse on a single line. the pulse width may be very low like micro seconds. Any answer plz ! kindly write soon....its urgent. I m ussing a 'Measure Pulse widh or Period VI' for this but his is not working for single pulse.
    Regards

    You might try using the "Measure Pulse (DAQ-STC).vi" example located in
    ./Program Files/National Instruments/LabVIEW/examples/daq/counter/daq-stc.llb/*.
    Or if you're using a TIO board, try using the "Measure Pulse (NI-TIO).vi" example located in
    ./Program Files/National Instruments/LabVIEW/examples/daq/counter/ni-tio.llb/*.
