Need help getting DPX101 pressure transducers to read correctly in labview

hello, i previously posted about some resource errors i was getting,
but i fixed that and now i am simply having trouble getting the
correct through labview.
basically i have no experience with labview, and for this project one
of my professors handed me a box with stuff in it and said here you go
good luck, so i've been learning everything from scratch.
the way the system is laid out is I have an SCC2345 (tan box) with i
believe a PWR02 in it.
There are 4 modules, 2xSCCTC02 and 1 SCCAI01 and 1 SCCAI02. I have
familarized myself with the specs of these modules, and the SCCTC02 is
self explanatory, but the SCCAI0Xs have the following specs.
SCC-AI01
Input Range: +/- 42V
Output Range: +/- 8.4V
Gain: 0.2
SCC-AI02
Input Range: +/- 20V
Output Range: +/- 10V
Gain: 0.5
There are 3 pressure transducers, all Omega DPX101, of the following
pressures: 5000psi, 500psi, 250psi. Each of these is wired into their
own Omega ACC-PS1 power supply.
The ACC-PS1 has the following specs:
ACC-PS1
Excitation Voltage: 18V
Excitation Current: 2mA
Voltage Gain: 1 +/- 2%
Output Signal FS Peak: 10V
Input Power: 2 9V Battery
The system is laid out as exactly shown here:
http://hilltop.bradley.edu/~award/SP/gts.PNG
Using a DAQ assistant, i have it acquire all 5 values at 1000 times
per second and then it updates it to a text file every 100ms.
The pressure sensors each came with calibration sheets and these had a
sensitivity value, and i thought the sensitivity was the "scaling"
value used in the DAQ Assist (5000psi = 1.1mv/psi, 500psi = 10.30 mv/
psi, 250psi = 19.90mv/psi). I entered in these values and i ran some
tests and i was getting a value of 18.6 from labview when a pressure
of 1000psi was applied to the 5000psi sensor. how do i get this to
output 1000 for when 1000psi is applied?
Also, the pressure transducers have a "bias voltage" listed on the
calibration sheets, 8.2 V. Would this have an impact also?
any ideas on what i should do?
is my problem clear enough?
Thanks

  • Desperately need help getting Flash music player to work correctly!

    I'm working up a Flash template for a site that has a music player for 3 different tracks.  The template came with 3 separate fla files for each track (Music1.fla, Music2.fla and Music3.fla), which I opened and imported my own mp3's into, set them to repeat only once, and then published the swf's.  The music player works fine, but when the first song ends, the music stops unless you click on the next music track in the player.  I'd like to have it where after the first song finishes it automatically starts playing the next song, then when it finishes the 3rd and final song it goes back to song one.  How can I do this?  Is it as easy as inserting some Actionscript into the Music fla's or would it have to be fixed in the player itself on the site's fla?
    I have the site uploaded here to check out:

    Thanks in advance for your help, I'm really in a bind and need to get this fixed quickly!!

    K, give this a shot.
    All you need to do is duplicate the code on the buttons in the sound controller that load the three songs.  So on the last frame of music1.fla, enter -
        path="music2.swf";
        loadMovieNum(path,1);
    Do the same for the other music flas using the next song number. You may have to add _root. before the loadMovieNum command, so it would be:
    _root.loadMovieNum(path,1);
    This will only work if the mp3s are imbedded in the music flas.  You will have to add a zillion frames to the timeline to see where the audio file ends, create a keyframe there and enter code on the keyframe.

  • Need help getting a voltage and current reading with myDAQ

    I have set up a VI using the DAQ assistant with the myDAQ, I am using the ai0 port for a voltage reading and using the DMM for my current reading, the circuit is working as I am measuring the voltage on a resistor after the ammeter but I am unable to get a current reading in order for it to work. If I have something wired wrong please let me know, thank you. My circuit is a 12VAC power supply, going through a potentiometer to drop the voltage to 8VAC, which passes through a resistor, ammeter is in series after this and attached to another resistor to complete my loop, the AI0 for my volt meter is connected across the second resistor, I have the proper voltage reading when I run the VI, but am unable to get a current reading to display. Thanks for the help.

    I mean I can't get a proper current reading as a numeric value, I have my power supply going to a potentiometer to change my voltage level and then have 2 resistors, I am measuring the current between the 2 resistors. By doing so I am getting a value but not the same value I am getting on my multimeter, I am also having trouble with the calculation using the formula R=V/I in my formula node. If I use input controls I can get the formula to work properly, as soon as I connect it to the outputs of what I am trying to read, the formula node doesn't work.

  • TS4268 I need help getting my face time and imessage to work.

    I need help getting my face time and imessage to work. It is saying wating for activation. I just got my iphone 5 2 days ago. I have reset it from the phone and from itunes on the computer, made sure I'm attached to wifi.

    The 3 basic troubleshooting steps are these in order: 1. Restart your iphone  2.  Reset your settings/iphone  3.  Restore your iphone.  Since your iphone is only a couple of days old, you should backup your device before restoring.  If you don't have anything on your iphone that you care to lose, then simply restoring without a backup is fine.  A quick reset of pressing the sleep/wake button (top of iphone) and your home button simultaneously and holding it until the silver Apple logo appears.

  • My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    Sure, you can get around it if you don't need the newest version of iTunes. I still use version 7.5 because the newer versions didn't strike me as offering anything I needed.
    If you do need a version 10-something then you will have to upgrade your operating system to Leopard (fi your computer will support it) at least.  If you need 10.5 for some reason then there's no getting around it, you will have to buy a new computer.

  • I need help getting past the installation error "windows cannot fint TEMP file"

    I need help getting past the installation error "windows cannot find TEMP file"

    Seems like some who have tried two devices on the JMICRON IDE port have had trouble. Try without the hard drive and see if you get that error. If that is the case I would try a PATA to SATA converter for your hard drive and connect it to one of the Intel SATA Ports.

  • I haven't used an Apple computer for years. I need help getting started

    Welcome back. Do not overlook the Finder and individual application Help menu support. The links provided above are great starter references. With tongue in cheek, they also may not be as current as the OS X release on your mini, so expect some differences.
    Here are a litany of keyboard short-cuts, last updated in June 2012, that may prove selectively beneficial.
    For actions like copy(c), paste(v), cut(x), print(p), and select-all(a), substitute the command key instead of control key.
    If you right click on a file, this menu will seem familiar. Press the option key and notice the menu changes. If you copy a file(s) from this menu, change to the destination and then press option with the right button menu to see copy file(s) changed to move file(s).
    To quickly view a file's contents, left click on the file icon, then press the space bar.
    The native file format for OS X is PDF. Thus, when you choose to print, you also have the option to save as PDF with web links preserved.
    Enjoy your mini.

  • TS1398 I need help getting connected to our home wifi.

    I need help getting connected to our home wifi. I've reset network settings, iPhone, and router  but the error "unable to join network" keeps coming up. I also double checked the password. Please help

    Other possibilities:
    Your router firmware is out of date. Check the manufacturer's website for an update
    You have MAC (Media Access Control) filtering enabled on the router, that restricts access to "known" devices and the new iPhone is not on the table of known devices
    Your router has a setting limiting the number of simultaneous allowed devices
    Your routers SSID ("name") is still the default (e.g., LINKSYS, DLINK, NETGEAR, etc). Your phone has encountered other routers with the same name as you have traveled, and the phone is confused as to which router is the real one. If your router's name is still the default you should change it.

  • Need help getting iBook online

    Hi I have a blueberry ibook with Mac OS 9 and I need help getting it online. I have cable internet on my home computer WOW, and I unplugged the internet cord from my home computer and plugged it into my laptop and could not get on the internet. How do I get on the internet with that cord if possible? I know nothing about Macs, or ethernet or proxy or any of that jargon. Thanks!

    Merry Christmas to you Kristen
    I do not have any disks or software
    for my ISP, just an access number.
    When you say "access number", what do you mean? When I hear the term "access number" I think of a phone number. Or is it an IP address (which would look something like 127.127.1.1 - a number with some dots in it), or something altogether different?

  • Need help getting contacts from outlook 2010

    I need help getting my contacts from outlook 2010 to icloud and/or my iphone. I have icloud up and logged in on pc. when I go to a contact to import it says there was a problem reading the vcard. any help is welcomed.

    I do have the latest version of DTM and working with OUTLOOK 2000.  I know it is old, but it still does what I need it to. I did try to uninstalland reinstall.  No luck.  The only options listed to sync are yahoo, outlook express, and ASCII inport/export.  Obviously it is not syncing my other data either, but it is my contacts that I am most concerned with at this point.  The calader would be nice too!  Any other suggestions, or is my outlook too old to sync?   

  • Need help getting podcast to itunes

    I need help getting a podcast of the "Dr. Laura Show" to download into itunes instead of another folder in MY Music. The only way I know to do it is after it has downloaded I can drag and drop from the download file into itunes. There must be a way to get it to download directly in a itunes folder labeled "Dr. Laura". Several of my other podcast I use Juicer to download and they work fine. Any help?
