Missing Sound and Vibration VI's?

Looking through all the examples in the Sound and Vibration Toolkit, and go to load the SVXMPL_Sound Level Meter (DAQmx).vi and it tells me there are several files that could not be found. They are:
SoundVib_Octave.lvlib
SoundVib_ABCWeighting.lvlib
SoundVib_SoundLevel.lvlib
Further investigation looks like they're part of another "Audio" toolkit? How is this not part of the SV Toolkit?

Hi John,
You can verify if you have Toolkit ("basic") or Suite in the NI License Manager. I've attached a screenshot. Whichever one has a full, green square next to it is fully activated. Hope this helps!

Why are Sound and Vibration Toolset examples missing?

I have installed the November Developer Suite CDs, the full Sound and Vibration Toolset and appropriate NI-DSA/NI-DAQ drivers for my PCI-4552. Why aren't all the SVTXMPs found? Specifically, Engine Run-up and Transient Analysis examples are missing from Labview->Find Examples->Browse->Toolsets and Modules->Sound and Vibration.

I think the examples are there, they've just been installed in a different path from the one the "Search Examples" app is looking for. Try:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6.1\examples\Sound and Vibration\Transients Analysis
This should get you to the examples your looking for.

How can I read in a TDMS file into Sound and Vibration Assistant

I have recorded a signal from 2 channels from a PXI 4496 DAQ card. I recorded this signal with the TDMS file format from a VI in Labview. I would like to import these signals into the Sound and Vibration Assistant for freq. analysis. In sound and vibration assistant there is an import logged tdms from signal express but I can not seem to import my original signal? How can I import this data?

Hello All,
I am trying to read TDMS file using LABVIEW. The TDMS file is created by me for reading data from one wire devices.
I have created simple vi. attached below which read data from TDMS file. I am able to read other tdms files, I have with this program but not which one created by me. I am not able to attach file with .tdms exentiont. So I have attached it with .xlsx extention. Can anyone please guide me where is the problem in TDMS file? Am I missing anything while creating it?
Thanks

How to install sound and vibration toolkit 8.5

Hello all, I have just started using labview and would like to run the "SVXMPL_Third Octave Analysis for Multiprocesor" example as an example for multithread programming, but I run into the issue that the "Sound and Vibration" toolkit is required before running the example. I have installed the labview 8.5. I have gone through the posed link and gone through the list of products installed in my machine (ControlPanel>Add and Remove Programs> National Instruments Software), but I couldn't find the "sound and vibration toolkit". I have tried to run the installation setup in order to add the toolkit. it looks like I have already installed all the available software. I don't know how I should install the toolkit. I appreciate on any comments on how to install the toolkit. I appreciate if you can help me on how to install "sound and vibration toolkit" in my machine.

Never mind. I got it.

Third octave operations with "sound and vibration toolkit"

Hi!
I’m working about third octave decomposition with a vibration signal.
I’m using the sound and vibration toolkit.
The sample frequency of my signal is 2400 Hz.
And I’m working with a 1 second vibration signal (so 2400 points).
Fs = 2400
N = 2400
I need to understand the different and successive operations that the “SVT Fractional-octave Analysis [IEC].vi”VI do.
In fact, I think that my frequency resolution (df = Fe/N=1Hz) is too low.
Do you have a solution?
Maybe I could turn into my 1 sec signal in 10 sec signal with 10 recopies and assemblage of my previous signal?
N’ = 10N so df = Fe/10N = 0.1Hz.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
The first thing you have to do is to read the Chapter 7 of the user manual of the Sound and Vibration Toolset.
You can find it in : program -> National Instruments -> LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolset -> User Manual
This chapter discusses fractional-octave analysis, including fractional-octave analysis theory, averaging modes supported by the
Octave Analysis VIs, settling time, and ANSI and IEC standards.

Velocity Displcement Calibration for Sound and Vibration Tool Kit

Hello Guys,
I have been working on sound and vibration tool kit recently.
I'm taking input from sound port of PC by signal generator and taking single and double Integration for velocity and displacement resp.
I want to check the correctness of the values for different amplitudes,and different frequencies of signal, velocity and displacement.
The RMS values for signal is calibrated as per signal generator, RMS value for the Velocity is correct for a limited frequency range
and the RMS value for the displacement is not at all calibrated for any of the frequency.
I will appreciate replies,

Hey guys,
The following vi is working
for the signal generated with in Labview but if the signal is taken
from mic port through signal generator.
then the velocity and displacement is not coming.
i'm attaching vi below kindly reply if someone get something

How can i use modal analysis in labview and Sound and Vibration toolset in my structural studies.

I am working on structural analysis of buildings during earthqauke.I ahve NI 4472, labView, sound and vibration toolset.Now i also want to carry out Modal Analysis. Where can i find thisin NI software.

There are third party software packages that support modal analysis. These include IDEAS from MTS, Smart Office from m+p, and ME Scope. You can use LabVIEW to save a file or export the data directly via Active-X. If you have some specific functions that you would like to see implemented in LabVIEW, drop a note to one of our developers, Hui Shao or myselfat : [email protected] on what you would like to see.

I am using sound and vibration assistant 7.0. I want to know if it is possible to convert the mag and phase plot to real and imaginary plots ??

I am using sound and vibration assistant 7.0 . I am using the impact test example given . I want to know if it is possible to convert the magnitude phase plot to real and imaginary plot in the sound and vibration assistant 7.0 ???

If you have LabVIEW, you can create a user step to perform the conversion in version 7.0. Sound and Vibration 2009 has a checkbox in the Frequency Response configuration page to export the real and imaginary components. Short of upgrading SVT, you can also install the evaluation version of NI LabVIEW SignalExpress 2009, and this will also upgrade the Frequency Response Step which is shared between the two products (but then you don't get all the other features that were also added in SV 2009).
Here are some links that may be useful to help decide whether you want to upgrade:

The problem of sound and vibration assitant wiht labview 8.6

when importing lavview vis into the sound and vibration assistant, i got the error as follows:
LabVIEW: The software installed on this computer does not support the file format you requested. The Storage VIs access files through plug-in libraries LabVIEW and DIAdem install. Visit ni.com to download the library you need.
how can i solve it?

Can you please describe the procedure you are following to reproduce this error?
File>>Import can be used to import snapshots from other projects or logs from other projects or (*.tdms) files.
The 'Run LabVIEW 8.6 VI' Step can be used to run LabVIEW VIs from the Sound and Vibration Assistant. Consult the help as there are a number of steps that must be followed to use this feature.
Does your VI perform file I/O? What versions of Sound and Vibration Assistant are you using? Can you post your project and built LabVIEW VI?

Sound output with sound and vibration toolkit

Hi!
Wants to setup a system with two microphones that are connected to DAQ NI USB-9162 and perform a Frequency Response between them where one of them has the undisturbed signal (close in space) and the other the respons (further away). My problem is that I want to send out noise or multitone through labview to an amplifier with internal D/A connected to my USB (turns up as a soundcard in windows). I can not find this option to send out sound in the sound and vibration tool.
Using evaluation version of both Labview and the sound and vibration kit since I wanted to see if it was possible to perform this application with Labview. Feels close but lack the success still.
Best regards
Fredrik

Ok so I have to use the Labview interface instead of the sound and vibration toolkits interface? I see the sound out option in Labview where my card apperas but not in the sound and vibration toolkits interface. Guess I have to add the options for the analysis manually then?
It should be easy to do some modifications if you have some code doing what you want, but not with a sound card. If you have some code just post it. So I can take a look. Note that sound cards do not support all sample rates. But all sound card do support 44100 Hz as sample rate. And newer sound card also higher rates. And how good your setup will be. Will depend somehow on your sound card. But by all means give it a try
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

Sound and vibration toolkit using Keithley Card

Hello everyone,
Might be doing a project soon using the LABVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolkit(1/n octave vibration analysis required) with LABVIEW 6.1(Sorry, try convince my Boss to upgrade). We have a Keithley KPCI-3101 card avaliable to us for the analog input.
Do any of you forsee a problem using a non-NI card with the sound and vibration toolkit? I can find very little on the internet discussing using non-NI cards with the toolkit.
This might sound like a stupid question but I need to be
100% sure that there are no problems.
Thank you for any help you can offer :-)
Cheers
Jurgen

Hello Jurgen,
Of course the integration with National Instruments boards (PCI-4472 or 445x boards) is best suited with the Sound and Vibration Toolkit. However it is possible to use the toolkit without National Instruments hardware. Most of the examples that ship with the toolkit use NI-DAQ data acquisition calls. You need to remove them from the examples and substitute them for the driver vi's that your board uses. There are also a couple of examples that use simulated signals (so there is no hardware at all involved).
One thing to be aware of is the sample rate. Recommended sample rates, that are used in most examples are 51.2 kS/s. You may need to check if your board is capable of doing this.
Also all the functions use the waveform datatype, (which include
s timing information), so you need to convert your array of data to this datatype, using the build waveform function.
Hope this answers your question.
Best regards,

Sound and Vibration Toolkit

We have LabView 7.1 and the latest Sound and Vibration Toolkit. I am interested in finding the natural frequency of metalic parts AND entire mechanical assemblies. To obtain the natural frequency, we have purchased an accelerometer and impulse hammer to perform bump testing. From the reading I've done, I believe I should use the FRF functions from the S&V toolkit. Can someone confirm this or direct me to the proper method?
thanks for your help

Hi WantToGolf,
Sounds like you're on your way!
Cable the output of the impulse hammer to analog input 0 and the output of the accelerometer connected to your device under test (DUT) to analog input 1. The frequency response functions (FRFs) included with the Sound and Vibration Toolkit are the methods you'll use to find the natural frequency of the DUT.
I would recommend using Baseband Frequency Response (DAQmx - No excitation).vi, located at:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\examples\Sound and Vibration\Frequency Analysis\Dual Channel Analysis\SVXMPL_Baseband FRF (DAQmx - no excitation).vi
This VI continuously acquires data from two channels in the same device. No source is provided from the DAQ board, as you will be providing one from the impulse hammer. Triggering from either channel is supported.
The data from each channel is scaled to engineering units, windowed, and the frequency response is computed. The results of the frequency response measurement can be displayed on a Bode plot or a Nyquist plot. The coherence is also graphed to evaluate the validity of the measured frequency response.
You could then use the frequency response to determine the natural frequency of the DUT. Let me know if you have further questions or if this does not resolve your issue!

Sound and Vibration Toolkit License

Hi.. I have LabView 2009 SP1 installed in my PC. Currently I am running in evaluation mode, but planning to buy a run - time license. I also have the Sound and Vibration Toolkit on evaluation mode. Do I need to buy a license for this toolkit too? what if I buy the debug/deployment license for labview?

Hi JR Tager, as Dennis mentions you need to buy the license for each of your development computer. In this case the best option is to buy the Developer Suit with Sound and Vibration Option this way you get a discount in the module. Also the toolkit and the Module have to be the Same version than your LabVIEW for example if you are using LabVIEW 2010 you need the 2010 Sound and Vibration Toolkit.
Not all toolkits and modules, requires a Runtime but in this case the Sound and Vibration Module does. Which mean for every executable you create you will need to buy a RunTime License.The part number for the NI Sound and Vibration Software Run-Time License is 779875-01.
Which Software Requires a Run-Time License?

Sound and Vibration Toolkit with NI-SCOPE AND NI-FGEN

Hi,
I would like to use the Sound and Vibration Toolkit with the NI-FGEN and NI-SCOPE,specifically the stepped sine analysis. The stepped sine VI's are compatible with only DAQmx and not NI-SCOPE and NI-FGEN,right?
Any way around this?

Hi there,
Firstly I assume you mean Swept sine and not stepped!?
This is the closest thing I could find:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3347
I had a look for you and there is nothing that works with a swept sine in FGEN or SCOPE natively that we supply. However I do believe that a lot of the functionality could be programmed in FGEN and SCOPE vi's.
You would however need to make copies of all the Swept Sine VI's and replace all DAQmx calls and property nodes with the appropriate SCOPE/FGEN vi's.
Not a short answer I'm afraid and I can't guarantee that all the functionality is going to be there.
Sorry its not a better answer.
