Motion and Vector Space Question

I have an x-axis stage and a y-axis stage with 2 different leadscrew pitches, i.e.: one table has a 5 turns per inch leadscrew and the other has a 50 turn per inch leadscrew. Consequently, the stepper motors attached have to operate at different speeds (10x difference) in order for the tables to have the same velocity. I have this accounted for in the axis configuration settings in the NI MAX explorer. When I am configuring automated moves in LabView and set up a "vector space" composed of the two axis, it seems that the motors operate at the same speed and ignore the MAX settings. I thought that after intializing the controller, the current axis settings would be carried over and applied through the vector space and to the actual move
(a 2D move made in Motion Assistant). Am I missing something? Do I need to load the velocity for each axis with a flexmotion VI somewhere in the code? I'd like to command the motrs to move at 2 different speeds so the tables move at the same velocities. Any comments would be appreciated. An abbreviated sample of some of the code is attached. Thanks. ROB

Rob,
you should be able to adjust the pitch of the leadscrews by setting the stepper steps per revolution and/or the encoder steps per revolution settings in MAX accordingly (in your configuration these settings should differ by the factor of 10 for your two axes)
In your application you then have to use the Load Velocity in RPM.flx and the Load Accel/Decel in RPS/sec.flx in order to get the same resulting velocities on both axes. If you do it like this you still have to account the factor of 10 for your target position calculations.
I couldn't find out if you have proceeded like that in your application as the vi you have attached is missing a crucial subvi.
If you are using a four axes board like the PCI-7344 or the PCI-7334 there is another option:
You
could use a third axis that acts as a master for one of your axes (I would prefer the axis with the 5 inch per leadscrew). Your real axis has to be configured to follow the master axis by a factor of 1/10. In your application you configure a vector space for the master axis and the axis that is not configured as slave. Your physical signal connections need to be done to this axis and the slave axis.
Please examine the LabVIEW gearing examples for more information.
In this case you should enter the same values for stepper steps per revolution and/or the encoder steps per revolution in MAX for both axes as the pitch adjustment is done by the gearing.
The advantage of this method is that now you can set the same velocities, accelerations and even target positions for both axes and you never again have to account the pitch factor.

  • IPhone/Edge security and available space question

    2 questions here:
    1) Is it 'safe' to access sites like online banking or enter credit card information using the iphone/edge, or is it not really secure? As a side-question, is it more or less secure to do the same using iphone/wifi?
    2) I have about 45MB free on my iphone (according to itunes). Does this number include ALL space on the iphone (meaning if I fill that up, it won't have any room to cache data/download email, etc..) or does it have a portion of the drive partitioned off for its own uses? Should I be worrying about keeping some free space or will it do it on its own?

    1. Safe is a relative term. If someone is snooping they may intercept your transmission. Same thing with WiFi. When you connect to banking sites, you are establishing secure connections, and some have better security than others. But even with a hard connection, someone can have a sniffer hooked up to a port somewhere down the line and intercept your transmission. Bottom line - I connect to these sites and dont worry about it too much.
    2. 45MB??? Where did all your space go??? There is a space allotted for the system, but as an old-schooler I have never "used up" all my storage - it tends to cause problems. I am pretty sure the system will alert you if you fill up beyond capacity or if you will hinder its operation. It a pretty smart phone. I would not fill it to capacity though. Its just an old habit I have.

  • 5D Mark II Workflow and HD space questions

    I've been converting footage from my Canon 5D Mark II into ProRes 422 HQ for editing purposes, like I see people here doing. I am wondering what people are doing in regards to space. My Raid is being eaten up by all the conversions and I am wondering what people are doing to ease this problem.
    What is the advantage of going HQ and not just ProRes 422?
    Are you erasing original footage after conversion?
    Any help appreciated.
    Message was edited by: Chulo01

    ProRes HQ is overkill. That one is meant for 2K images and up. Regular ProRes is fine for 1080 on down.
    And keep the originals...those are your source tapes. Back them up on a separate drive.

  • Motion and Poser (?)

    I own both poser and motion and this stupid question came to mind: Is it possible to import 3d models (animated in poser) into a motion project? If yes how.....?

    No, Motion doesn't import any 3D models. It's a compositing and motion graphics application.
    What you would want to do is export your Poser animation out of Poser in QuickTime using the Animation codec with alpha (Millions+ colors) and then import that movie into Motion.
    If you want a better animation application for your Poser models, Carrara can import Poser models and it retains all the links. It's not a bad 3D application for around $500.

  • Configuring separate axis velocity/acceleration within a vector space

    Is there a way to separately configure axis velocity/acceleration when using vector space motion control? My axes motivation are very diverse and I can not simply use a vector velocity/acceleration.

    I guess that your application should not use Vector configuration then. The purpose of Vector Spaces is to group axes and define vector moves, the board will calculate each axis parameters in order to achieve the vector move.
    If you require different velocity and acceleration per axis you might want to try to make up your own Vector algorithm in which for the eyes of the board you are treating each axis independently, but in your software you are actually grouping them. That is, you will configure each axis by its own, and you can do multi-starts and multi-stops. The Position/Velocity/Acceleration will be calculated by your own algorithm.
    Good luck!

  • Configuring a third axis on vector space to perform a tangential following

    Is there some kind a function call/mode in flexmotion library to configure a third axis in a vector space to perform a tangential following (ie to remain tangent to the trajectory of the other two axis)?

    Tulio,
    Thanks for the explanation. This makes perfect sense.
    The Flexmotion driver does not have any built in function to perform this type of motion, however it would be relatively straightforward to implement this for contour moves. You could set this up as a 3 axis contour move. Based on the list of X,Y coordinates, use a simple difference equation to get the slope of the trajectory at each point. Convert this slope to rotation in counts and use these values for the third axis (cutter angle). This could be implemented with just a couple VIs or lines of code with negligible processing overhead or you could even use just a spreadsheet. I have attached below a spreadsheet that shows an example of using a difference equation (centra
    l difference) to get cutter positions based on X,Y trajectory data.

  • Need Help with FCP7 import and plug in question.

    Hello,
    I just registered and would like to ask two questions. Everything else I'll use the search function for but I need the answer right away.
    Ok First question. I have a mac pro at home and a intel macbook both with FCS4 during the holiday season I'd like to work on a project on my laptop. Now I have all my files on a 2.0 USB drive(I know its not that fast for video) but this is only temp. while traveling. I'm trying to figure out why it wont import the files into another project. Even when I'm at my home Mac Pro when I try to import a projects footage into another project it doesn't read it. This comes up
    "File Error: 0 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied 254 unknown"
    But all the files will work in the project that it was originally captured too.
    If this helps the codec is sonys HDV 1080 60i converted to Apple ProRes 422(HQ) which I found out I should only use the regular Apple ProRes 422. I'm stuck now b/c I cannot import the files into a new project to work in on my laptop. Plus my Macbook doesn't have Firewire800 so I have no way to get the footage from tape to my laptop other then my USB Hard Drive.
    I also have problem importing the files in Motion and Cinema Tools they also are not recognizing the files which is getting me upset since they are FCP7 generated files after I convert them to ProRes.
    Whenever I try to import/use the files in anything other the original project they are grey'ed out.
    I'm also confused on how to import effects plug-ins I've downloaded effects from apple only to have now directions to import them into the program.
    Sorry for the Noob questions I'm a film student learning FCP7 by myself so I have the upper hand come next semester. Thanks in advance.

    Can't tell for sure but it sounds as if the drive is not properly formatted, or you do not have correct read/write permissions for it. There is no way you can use this drive with HQ video. You're going to get into problem if you even try.

  • Matching Raster and Vector RGB color in InDesign CS3.

    We print on a Durst Lambda RGB imaging device to photographic paper. All color management is done as an early bind (raster files are converted to the printer's color space and vector colors are chosen from a palette database). So basically the files must go through InDesign without any color change in raster or vector information. We have clients that require specific RGB builds for logo colors the are present in both their raster and vector files.
    Color Management is set to "North American General Purpose 2" with "RGB: Preserve Embedded Profiles" selected.
    1) The file is exported as a PDF 1.4, High Quality, PDF/X_None.
    2) The PDF was ripped on a Cheetah RIP (Jaws level 3) with no color management on.
    3) Solid raster colors such as 0-255-0 will reproduce as 0-255-1.
    4) The color differences between the raster and vector are usually 1-4 points.
    5) The vector is consistent as was input in the programit's only the raster that changes. When you are trying to match raster and vectors logo colors it is a killer.
    However, I can go into the InDesign (or Illustrator) color settings and turn color management off (This is our current workflow). In doing this the RGB working space uses the monitor profile and "color management policies" are set to OFF. With these settings the RGB raster and vector match. The problem with this work flow is two fold:
    1) We have other devices than our RGB Durst Lambda that can use the InDesign color managementVutek flat bed 3200 and grand format 3360.
    2) We have had many occurrences where the custom "color management off" settings have reverted back to the default "North American General Purpose 2"without any intervention.
    I have tried this with different RIP's with the same results.
    Does anyone have an idea to create a simple PDF workflow and keep the color information consistent?
    Program: InDesign CS3 5.0.2
    Platform: Mac OS 10.5.2
    Computer: G5 tower with 4 gigs of RAM

    I believe that setting is an old Illustrator setting that has been saved to effectively turn the color management off. The monitor profile effects the image displayedit doesn't effect the color transform.
    Anyway, the color management I want to use is the "North American General Purpose 2".
    To reiterate:
    The procedure:
    1) The file is exported as a PDF 1.4, High Quality, PDF/X_None.
    2) The PDF was ripped on a Cheetah RIP (Jaws level 3) with no color management on.
    The Problem:
    3) Solid raster colors such as 0-255-0 will reproduce as 0-255-1It changes from the original raster color placed in InDesign.
    4) The color differences between the raster and vector are usually 1-4 points.
    5) The vector is consistent as was input in the programit's only the raster that changes. When you are trying to match raster and vectors logo colors it is a killer.
    To summarize, the color of the raster file will change from the original that was place into the documenteven though nothing was selected in InDesign that would change the color (i.e. profile conversion to an output profile or a transparency effect used). The change is slightbut there.

  • Just bought a 2tb external hard drive with the intention of moving my iPhoto data files on it. I have so much of my 500 gigs being used up by images and video. Questions: Will this foul up my iPhoto app? Do I need to point iPhoto to this new location?

    Just bought a 2tb external hard drive with the intention of moving my iPhoto data files to it. I have so much of my 500 gigs being used up by images and video. Questions: Will this foul up my iPhoto app?
    Do I need to point iPhoto to this new location?
    Thanks!

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
    Assuming a Managed Library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Jvm crash and dll space

    Hi All,
    I am trying to figure out why the jvm might crash when accessing dlls. I get the following error. The interesting thing is it seems to related to load or loadlibrary and the number of dlls that actually get loaded. If I reduce the number of dlls that get loaded then from the trace file generated I see more dlls loaded. I have not had this problem before and it shows up under xp or vista. I do not get an out of memory exception and the trace file seems to indicate there is space left in the new,tenured and perm areas of the heap.
    My question is what would limit the number of dlls loaded? I have tried adjusting the heap and perm space.
    Also, the app is using webstart so I use the loadlibrary call. If I run the app in eclipse and do not use loadlibrary everything is fine. The unique situation is that there is a dll that dynamically loads other ones when instantiating the java object but when using web start the loadlibrary call is needed.
    Thanks for any advice,
    -Tony

    Okay, after some searching in the forums I found an option to do more checking of jni and now have some additional information. Seems according to the new trace capability there is a bad global or local ref passed to a jni call. Thing is what does that mean? I pass a reference to the canvas from the canvas class that calls it so how could that be considered bad?
    Thanks for any hints,
    -Tony
    The new additional trace is:

  • Spaces question

    I have a basic spaces question. I have spaces enabled, and it has one particularly annoying quirk. When I move an app winow around, I often sort of space out while holding the left mouse button down on the control bar (?) of the window. This causes whatever space I'm in to jump to space 1. Is this a feature, or a bug? If it's a feature, can I turn it off?
    This is what I do:
    Grab an application window (any app) -> move the window to a new location -> dur out for a second while you consider life and all its infinite possibility, while still holding the left mouse button down -> spaces jumps from the space your in to space 1

    Yes thats the preference, but now I don't get that functionality. Does your set up do what I described if you toggle that option? This perhaps is a bug. It is strange because if I do it with an app that is set up to open only in one space (say photoshop in space 4), it will switch spaces (usually to 1) and I have to diddle the space selector for that app in system prefs to get the app back into it's proper space.

  • HSB Color Space Question - How Many Colors Are There In Photoshop

    Hello guys, I have a sort of basic question that I have been trying to figure out for a few days.
    I am trying to find out how many colors there are in the Color Picker  when the Hue radio button is selected.
    I know there are 256^3 RGB (#Hex) colors, and I am trying to find some relationship when I am coloring with HSB color space in Photoshop.
    It just confuses me because the Hue slider goes from 0-359 and the S and B goes from 0-99...
    So how many HSB colors in Photoshop are there?  Am I missing out on some colors by using HSB color space in Photoshop as oposed to using RGB?
    Are there the exact same amount?  Are there more and there are duplicates in HSB space mode?
    Thank you all for all your help, much appreciated

    The deficiency of such mathematical models is that they do not take into account noise and human perception. In an 24 bit RGB space (8 bits per channel) there may be 16 million colors, but this assumes that there are 256 discrete levels in each color channel. You could increase the number of colors by using a 48 bit space. In practice, noise will reduce the number of discrete levels, and this will vary with the camera and ISO used in that camera. For example, consider the Nikon D5000 as evaluated by DXO. At  base ISO the camera can resolve only 21.8 bits of color information and this decreases to 15.6 bits at an effective ISO of 2079 (camera ISO setting of 3200).
    http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/eng/Image-Quality-Database/Nikon/D5000
    Then you have to consider how many of these colors can actually be differentiated by the human visual system. If you can't see a difference, it really doesn't matter.These differences are difficult to quantitate. One such effort uses MacAdam ellipses shown in this Wikipedia article on a CIE 1931 xy plot. How many of these ellipses are contained in the CIE xy space? The DXO site has similar ellipses for real world camera images.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacAdam_ellipse
    See this RIT FAQ for a more sober real world analysis. The actual number of colors is in the millions, but likely not 16 million.
    http://www.cis.rit.edu/mcsl/outreach/faq.php?catnum=1#219
    In a real world situation, I would not be overly concerned about differences between the RGB and HSB spaces, but one could increase precision by using a 48 bit space.

  • Workflow Qs: Using LT, Motion and FCP!

    Hi, getting all jumbled up on workflow. I am inserting motion projects direct on the timeline, but I want livetype titling in this project as well - the titles are part of the motion animation. I don't see where i can save a livetype style I have set up there to just use in Motion, nor a sendto click. What do I have to do to make the composite? Thanks!
    Bonus Question:
    I also need to creat this effect:

    Creating a Chalkboard Effect
    How to create a Chalkboard effect with text that writes on the board and is then removed with an eraser! Click the image to watch this tutorial.
    BUT, we can't afford 99$ nor do we have credit cards in Nepal to order. Can anyone tell me if this is possible to recreate by hand just using Motion and LiveType? Thanks,

    Import the LiveType project file as you would import it into FCP. However, my advice is to render the LT movie and bring the movie into the Motion project. You will save tons of processing and be able to edit your Motion project much faster. Try not to get hung up on precision with the LT stuff. In fact, I'd use proxies for the LT files with the simplest settings and minimum effects until you are much further along.
    Most of LiveType's effects can be easily emulated within Motion.

    The economics of effects are usually grossly misunderstood by cheapskates. The effort you will expend in faking this effect will cost you far more than simply buying it. Credit cards are not the issue, you can make this purchase in many ways, use your imagination.
    Find a bold typeface that you like. Apply any noise filter to a matte as a still image to create an alpha mask that will give some chalkboard texture to the text by removing some of the pixels. The same noise matte can be offset slightly and blended using ADD to give you some bright chalk highlights. You create the eraser effect using the paint function in Motion or buy using a grayscale and a procedural or gradient wipe. There is an eraser object in the Content of Motion. Animating the onscreen movement of the eraser and the eraser matte is challenging but a fun exercise in learning Motion's advanced functions. A chalkboard is a dangerously primitive anachronism. Be sure the metaphor is appropriate to your communication goal and not just some silly effect your creative manager insists on using.

  • Why is it in the Apple store in Fresno, Ca there are no scheduled one on one sessions in Aperture, Iphoto, Pages, motion, and several other programs. I purchased two for $200.00 and wonder what's happening

    1. I've purchased two one on one training cards in the Fresno Apple Store.
    2. For the past week and a half I've tried to schedule a personal or group in Aperture, Imovie, motion and the schedule shows to future times.
    3. What is going on that I cannot receive training in any of this popular topics. WHAT'S GOING ON?

    Hi,
    You've posted your question on the Apple-sponsored user-to-user discussion forum for Aperture.  Apple prepares for us this little clearing in the orchard, but otherwise is not here.  Your questions should be addressed to the Fresno Apple Store personnel.
