Need to Measure Light Freq. using photodiode and have it analysed by FFT, details below.

I a new to LV. Project is to measure light freq. using photodiode heald against a TV screen. Am required to have it analysed by FFT, I have read lots but still at dead end of which VI I can manipulate, tried Spectrum Analysers but not right. Need it to collect at rate of at least 100/sec. I am using a CB-68LPR I/O and PCI-MIO-16E-1. Photodiode is connected to an amplifier and filter before it is hooked into the connector board so signal is clean. I will be measuring freq. of ciliary beat where photodiode placed against a TV screen.

Hi Julesy,
are you shure what you want ti do?
TV screens don't show pictures, they show a point (3 points on a colour
TV) with changing intensity passing by very fast.
For instance, if you h
ave the PAL Standard, each picture is built with 625
lines, in 20 ms, interlaced. This means, 64 ?s line with the leading and
trailing overhead. The visible part of a line is aubout 52 ?s long.
If you attach your fototransistor to the screen, and its diameter may
cover a circular area of maybe 3 mm and the visual part of the line would
be 520 mm, then: And if this covers four of the screen lines, then you
will receive pulses of 0,3 ?s length if the line passes the center of the
fotodiode. Not passing the transistor in the center would give back an
even shorter pulse.
And if you get all this working (which I don't think) then you would
measure 2 groups of pulses every 10 ms with 2 pulses each (remember
interlacing).
Even if all the DAQ would work, is your fototransistor fast enough. Think
about miller capacities. Its not so simple at it seems first to solve this
measurement problem.
Please let me know what you intend to do. I was an TV- enginear many years
ago, and I don't remember ev
erything relevant anymore, but there are some
hardware- related things to be aware if if you want to measure TV-
signals.
Bye,
Rainer

I have just bought a new Imac and it will not load my copy of FCE 3.5 as it says "PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So how do I get to use the version of FCE I am used to and have paid for ?

I do not have any experience with Final Cut, but if you have existing projects that you MUST access; then you are in need of a solution on your new iMac in Mountain Lion!
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. Purchase a used Mac that will run Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta installed) and continue to run FCE on that Mac (you can actually use Screen Sharing with a "headless" used Snow Leopard Mac Mini and use the 27" screen from your iMac to view and work FCE in the Mac Mini environment);
2. Upgrade to an Intel compatible version of FCE and hope it converts your existing projects to its newer format correctly. There is much debate that the newer version of Final Cut are eliminating many needed features; for example Final Cut Pro X vs. Final Cut Pro 6 -- many users are staying with version 6;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels and then install FCE in the Snow Leopard environment:

Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app. I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind. I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far.

I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app. I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind. I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far. I have gone to my app folder and tried to update my iPhoto Library. I have gone to my trash and brought it over to my desktop and still cannot use it. Please help!

Try this fix discovered by User photosb189:
From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
Select Library from the drop down menu
Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old), unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto.

Hi, i have downloaded peppa pig series using itunes, and have tried to sync them to my Ipad Mini and IPhone 5, however it is not working it states "videos from your Itunes libary can not be copied to 'ipad' because they can not be played on this Ipad.

I have downloaded Peppa Pig series using Itunes and have tried to sync the tv programme to both my Ipad Mini and IPhone 5. However neither work saying that 'videos from Itunes Libary can not be copied to 'ipad' because they can not be played on this I Pad. I have downloaded the HD episodes is this my problem or do i need to download a 'video watching' app? Please help we are going away next week and the episodes were to help keep my toodler occupied on the plane. thank you

The error you received kinda looks like the one in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4223
But the iPhone 5 and the iPad mini should support HD videos.
What I would try is downloading the movies directly to your iPad mini or your iPhone. You will want to do this when connected to Wi-Fi, but you can follow these steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
I hope that helps!

When I try to open Safari, I get NCSW21 and that server can't be found. This happens everytime. I am using AirPort and have a strong internet signal. I have no problem opening Firefox and surfing the web. Only with the Safari page. Can anybody help.

Can't open Safari. I get "Can't find server". I get NCSW21 in my address bar. I am using AirPort and have a strong internet signal. I have no problem opening Firefox and surfing the web. Need help. Thanks

Hi Professor66,
I have a couple of suggestions for you regarding this issue. Here are two links to users who have posted similar questions to yours and have found their answers in the responses to their posts:
Safari hangs when loading web pages. | Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3784708
Safari loading blank pages | Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3899912
I would suggest that you first follow the troubleshooting that the OP did in the second link, which is to test in a new user account to see if the behavior is consistent. If it is, you may need to address the issue at a software level by re-installing Safari. More information on this process can be found in the following article:

So I am trying to copy my hard drive "Macintosh HD" to an external hard drive, i want to use Terminal and have tried many ways. For example cp -r /Volumes/"Macintosh HD" /Volumes/"NO NAME". When i do it says No such file or directory. Ideas?

The reason that threadjacking is frowned on (as mentioned in the terms use which you can read by clicking the link to the right on this page) is for the most part a practical one:
By starting your own thread your problem can get individual attention, focussed on your particular set of circumstances.
By joining somebody else's thread it becomes tricky to answer more than one question at the same time, and can lead to confusion for both parties.
So if you don't mind the minor inconvenience, please start your own thread (in the correct forum) so we can get to grips with your particular problem!

I would like to be able to take a website that I use ofter and drop it on the firefox screen below the url. Then I will have a quick access. How do I do this?

Question
I would like to be able to take a website that I use ofter and drop it on the firefox screen below the url. Then I will have a quick access. How do I do this? I currently use this on my laptop, but recently bought a new computer and downloaded firefox and lost a lot of features that I enjoyed.

Hi Ruthannw,
I think you are talking about the [[Bookmarks Toolbar]]. That article will show you how to add sites to the toolbar and even how to display the toolbar if it is hidden in your new Firefox install.
Hopefully this helps!

Hi - I cannot upload my emails through the mail icon. The first time I tried it only loaded very old emails, I then tried the whole process again and it has not imported a single email. I use hotmail, and have had no problems with my iPhone or iPad.

Need a Secure Reliable connection Using IDSL and dsl routers

I need to get a fast secure remote connection to my database. I am using oracle 8i database and the 6i developer for my applications. I need to connect to from remote sites to my office using my internet dsl router.
I managed to do this using the web remote desktop , but i need to use a differnt method for tow reasons :
1- I am worried that i might face performance problems when having many remote desk top connections.
2- I still need security measures where i want to restrict connections to only specific computers that i have identified by reading hard disks serial numbers etc.
I will appreciate it if any one can help me and show me a suitable way to connect to the data base remotely using the idsl lines while the application (forms and reports runs in the clients computer) or any other methods to connect using the idsl and the routers and not compromise the security issues of restricting the connections based on hardware information.

Hi,
it seems to be a JRE Problem. When I use the Kerberos implementation from "Vintela Single Sign-On for Java" I can establish a "aes256" secured LDAP connection to the AD Server.
This LDAP connection allows to change the passwords of the users stored in the AD.
The problem is that "Vintela Single Sign-On for Java" is not free, so it would be nice to have a solution which works with the Kerberos implementation of the JRE.
The error is the same for "aes128" and "aes256" encryption.
And with Wireshark I can not see any differences in the packets send to the AD and received from the AD.

Expert help needed to connect iPhone / iPad using BlueTooth and Wi-Fi

Hi there.
I connected to my livebox after about three attempts. You have to pair the livebox by pressing either the number one or two that is on the box. When it is in pair mode it stays that way for ten minutes so it gives you chance to try your wep code that is on the bottom of the box a few times. I can't remember which one was successful but i did try the letters in uppercase and lower and one of them seemed to connect.
Welcome to discussions by the way.
Hope this helps JB

I purchased an Ipod touch and the instuctions told me to go to Itunes download and everything seemed to be going fine until the message came up that a program that itunes needs to run is being used. I have never had I tunes on this computer.

I purchased an Ipod touch and when I tried to download 10.5, it stop loading and gave an error message, A program it needs to run is being used by another program. What will fix this problem. I am running Vista and this is my first time trying to download ITunes. The only Apple device that has been connected is my wife's I Phone 3G.

See:

If you have Snow Leopard do not forget the Additional Information paragraph.

I cannot open iMovie - it says I need a "Graphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme" I know this is wrong- Have iMovie version 9.0.4, regularly use it and have not had this problem before

Details: On my MacBook Pro, I have MacOS X 10.6.8, a 2.26 GHz IntelCore Duo processor with 4 GB 1067 MHz DOR 3 Memory.
I have iMovie Version 9.0.4, which I apparently updated inJuly. I regularly used iMovie, and last used it about 3 weeks ago. However, Today, when I try to get into iMovie, I get thefollowing message:
“Quartz extreme Required iMovie requires agraphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme. One or more of your graphics cards does ntosupport Quartz Extreme.”
So, I cannot get into my iMovie. I know the “Quartz Extreme” message ismistaken. WHAT DO I DO?

I would recommend that you turn off and restart your Mac. That should clear it up.

Need HELP! Sweep frequency using Sound and Vibration Assistant

Hi,
I'm new to LabView . I want to do frequency sweep test using Sound and Vibration Assistant. I added the sweep step and chose sin wave frequency as the parameters. I selected frequency from 1K hz to 10k hz with an increment of 500hz.
However, I do not know how to stay at one frequency for a while when sweeping the frequency. I hope there will be 200 cycles ( or 5 minutes) at one frequency in order to get steady result.
Could anyone tell me how to set this? Thank you!
Yue

Thank you for your reply!
I am using a shaker connected to the amplifier. Attached please find the plots.

HT4686 How can I publish my website developed using iWeb and have all functions of the blog page work as it did with MobileMe?

I have developed a website using iWeb and it includes a blog page selected from stock pages in iWeb. I'm publishing it with GoDaddy and when I do that the interactive functions of the blog page don't work. (Adding comments and photos as well as searching). Is there any simple way to host this site somewhere so that those functions work?

No, because all those functions were MobileMe only and now that MobileMe has gone, they won't function any longer.
To enable these to function, you either need to add them yourself or change your blogging platform to something else such as WordPress etc., and create a link from iWeb to your WordPress blog or embed the blog page using iframe into your iWeb site.
Commenting systems such as Disqus or http://www.intensedebate.com work quite well.
