Ni 5122: Use of functions that manipulate attributes in NISCOPE

HI, all
I would like to first thank  Alan L for responding to my last message. It was helpful.
I am currently using ni 5122 in sampling data sets and EACH set consists of  400 triggered records
and each record contains 1024 points (So this 1024 X 400 matrix will constitute a single image).
The sampling rate is 33 Mhz(There is a reason for choosing this sampling frequency, plz do not
suggest me to increase the sampling frequency as a solution).
Since the trigger occurs at 10 KHz, it will take 40 milliseconds to acquire
a data set which corresponds to a single frame of image.
I am trying to configure my program ( I am using VC++) such a way that I fetch the data
from on-board memory of digitizer to main memory of host computer and  perform DSP
on each triggered record while sampling rather than waiting for the entire data set (1024 X 400) to be collected.
The frequency of the trigger signal is 10 kHz, meaning that I have 100 usec for each triggered
record. Since I am using approximately 31 usec to sample the data, I have about 69 usec of idling
period bewteen each triggered record. So, I have attempted to utilize those idling period.
I have looked at "Acquiring data continuously" section of  "High Speed Digitizer Help" manual.
From there, I found out that I can fetch triggered records while sampling is still going on.
The manual suggests me to play with the following attributes.
NISCOPE_ATTR_FETCH_RECORD_NUMBER
NISCOPE_ATTR_FETCH_NUM_RECORDS
with the family of
niScope_SetAttributeXXX and niScope_GetAttributeXXX functions.
I have attempted to change value of those attributes but
got the following error.
"The channel or repeated capability  name is not allowed." This error also occured
when I attempted to just READ! (The functions I mentioned above appear immediately
before niScope_InitiateAcquisition function in my prog.)
I have also looked at the accompanying c example codes to remedy this,
but found a strange thing in the code. Within the example which uses
niScope_SetAttributeViInt32, the parameter channelList is set to VI_NULL
instead of "0", "1" or "0,1".  Why?
As I mentioned earlier, I can get a single frame of image every 40 millisec
( 25 frame/sec), if everything works as I planned.  Without fetching portion of
codes, my program currently generates about 20 frame/sec but when I include
the fetching codes, the frame rate decreases to 8 frame/sec. 
If anybody has a better idea of reducing fetching time than the one I am using,
please help me.
Godspeed
joon

I would like to thank you (Brooks W.)  for the reply.
I think I have stated that " 'my program'  generates 20 fps if fetching portion of code is omitted."  As I have mentioned earlier I am developing own app. S/W using VC++.
I am already using niScope_FetchBinary16 which you have suggested in your reply.
Here is a full disclosure of issues I am experiencing when fetching triggered records from 5122. I initially wrote a simple code which runs in int main() function and profiled the  time used to fetch data using niScope_FetchBinary16. The rate was  23.885714 million samples/sec. However, when I integrated the exact same piece of code to my Win32 app., the rate has gone down to 8.714891 million samples/sec. My PCI link is running at 33 Mhz so the PCI clearly has nothing to do with this problem
I have been looking through NI Discussion forum to find an answer for this and found a person (look at jim_monte's thread "Improving NI-SCOPE performance ") who is experiencing a similar kind of problem. He noticed while executing his program that what appears to be unnecessary DLLs are being loaded.
Is my problem caused by something that jim_monte suggests or do you have any other explanation to my issue?

  • SOLVED: How can I use or call a function that returns %ROWTYPE?

    Hi
    edit: you can probably skip all this guff and go straight to the bottom...In the end this is probably just a question of how to use a function that returns a %rowtype.  Thanks.
    Currently reading Feuerstein's tome, 5th ed. I've downloaded and run the file genaa.sp, which is a code generator. Specifically, you feed it a table name and it generates code (package header and package body) that will create a cache of the specified table's contents.
    So, I ran:
    HR@XE> @"C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\Work\SQL\OPP5.WEB.CODE\OPP5.WEB.CODE\genaa.sp"
    749  /
    Procedure created.
    HR@XE> exec genaa('EMPLOYEES');which generated a nice bunch of code, viz:
    create or replace package EMPLOYEES_cache is
        function onerow ( EMPLOYEE_ID_in IN HR.EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID%TYPE) return HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE;
        function onerow_by_EMP_EMAIL_UK (EMAIL_in IN HR.EMPLOYEES.EMAIL%TYPE) return HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE;
        procedure test;

                    end if;
                end loop;
            end test;
        BEGIN
            load_arrays;
        end EMPLOYEES_cache;
    /which I have run successfully:
    HR@XE> @"C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\Work\SQL\EMPLOYEES_CACHE.sql"
    Package created.
    Package body created.I am now trying to use the functionality within the package.
    I have figured out that the section
        BEGIN
            load_arrays;
        end EMPLOYEES_cache;
    /is the initialization section, and my understanding is that this is supposed to run when any of the package variables or functions are referenced. Is that correct?
    With that in mind, I'm trying to call the onerow() function, but it's not working:
    HR@XE> select onerow(100) from dual;
    select onerow(100) from dual
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00904: "ONEROW": invalid identifier

    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00936: missing expressionHe provides the code genaa.sp, and a very brief description of what it does, but doesn't tell us how to run the generated code!
    Now, I have just done some googling, and it seems that what I am trying to do isn't possible. Apparently %ROWTYPE is PL/SQL, and not understood by SQL, so you can't call onerow() from sql. Correct?
    So I try wrapping the call in an exec:
    HR@XE> exec select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual;
    BEGIN select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual; END;
    ERROR at line 1:

    PLS-00221: 'ONEROW' is not a procedure or is undefined
    ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
    PL/SQL: Statement ignoredNo joy.
    Of course, now that I'm looking at it again, it seems that the way to go is indicated by the first error:
    PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement
    So am I supposed to create a type of EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE in a PL/SQL procedure, and the idea of this code, is that the first call to onerow() runs the initialiation code, which populates the cache, and all subsequent calls to onerow() (whether by my session or any other) will use the cache?
    I've had a stab at this, but still, no joy:
    create or replace procedure testcache is
        emp employees%rowtype;
        begin
            select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual into emp;
            dbms_output.put_line('Emp id: ' || emp.employee_id);

    Ha, figured it out
    >
    Hopefully you also figured out that the example is just that: a technical example of how to use certain Oracle functionality. Unfortunately it is also an example of what you should NOT do in an actual application.
    That code isn't scaleable, uses expensive PGA memory, has no limit on the amount of memory that might be used and, contrary to your belief will result in EVERY SESSION HAVING ITS OWN CACHE of exactly the same data if the session even touches that package.
    Mr. Feuerstein is an expert in SQL and PL/SQL and his books cover virtually all of the functionality available. He also does an excellent job of providing examples to illustrate how that functionality can be combined and used. But the bulk of those examples are intended solely to illustrate the 'technical' aspects of the technology. They do not necessarily reflect best practices and they often do not address performance or other issues that need to be considered when actually using those techniques in a particular application. The examples show WHAT can be done but not necessarily WHEN or even IF a given technique should be used.
    It is up to the reader to learn the advantages and disadvantages of each technicalogical piece and determine when and how to use them.

    That is correct. To be used by SQL you would need to create SQL types using the CREATE TYPE syntax. Currently that syntax does not support anything similar to %ROWTYPE.

    >
    NO! That is a common misconception. Each session has its own set of package variables. Any session that touches that package will cause the entire EMPLOYEES table to be queried and stored in a new associative array specifically for that session.
    That duplicates the cache for each session using the package. So while there might be some marginal benefit for a single session to cache data like that the benefit usually disappears if multiple sessions are involved.
    The main use case that I am aware of where such caching has benefit is during ETL processing of staged data when the processing of each record is too complex to be done in SQL and the records need to be BULK loaded and the data manipulated in a loop. Then using an associative array as a lookup table to quickly get a small amount of data can be effective. And if the ETL procedure is being processed in parallel (meaning different sessions) then for a small lookup array the additional memory use is tolerable.
    Mitigating against that is the fact that:
    1. Such frequently used data that you might store in the array is likely to be cached by Oracle in the buffer cache anyway
    2. Newer versions of Oracle now have more than one cache
    3. The SQL query needed to get the data from the table will use a bind variable that eliminates repeated hard parsing.
    4. The cursor and the buffer caches ARE SHARED by multiple sessions globally.
    So the short story is that there would rarely be a use case where ARRAYs like that would be preferred over accessing the data from the table.

  • I am using Firefox for Mac (v 3.6.11, Mac OSX 10.6.4) and need to use the Function keys (specificlaly Ctrl-F7) in a web application. I can't seem to get it to work the same as in Firefox on PC.

    I am using a web application that requires the use of the F7 key. Actually, to be more precise, I need the functionality that you would get on a PC if you hit Ctrl-F7 while in this web application in Firefox. I have changed the Mac's settings to allow standard use of the function keys (rather things like volume up/down, etc.) However, when I try to use Ctrl-F7 it appears to be using the function that is built into Firefox browser rather than the web application running within Firefox. (FYI, nothing happens when I try Cmd-F7 or Alt/Option-F7 either).

    But what do you need to GROUP BY? What is each row of the result set going to represent? A placeid? Yes, each row will represent only one placedid, but it's going to be divided further. You want a separate row of output for every placeid and week, so you'll want to GROUP BY placeid and week. You don't want to GROUP BY the raw issuedate; that would put March 3 and March 4 into separate groups. And you don't want to GROUP BY failures; that would mean a row with 3 failures could never be in the same group as a row with 9 failures.
    This gets the output you posted from the sample data you posted:
    SELECT       placeid

    ,       SUM (failures)                  AS sumfailures
    FROM        temp_one
    GROUP BY  placeid
    ,            TRUNC (issuedate, 'IW')
    ;You could use a sub-query to compute TRUNC (issuedate, 'IW') once. The code would be about as complicated, efficiency probably won't improve noticeably, and the the results would be the same.

    the blow is the content of the review team email:
    We found that your app uses a background mode but does not include functionality that requires that mode to run persistently. This behavior is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
    We noticed your app declares support for location in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist but does not include features that require persistent location.
    It would be appropriate to add features that require persistent use of real-time location updates while the app is in the background or remove the "location" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key. If your application does not require persistent, real-time location updates, we recommend using the significant-change location service or the region monitoring location service.

I understand that I shall use the function "Layer" and have even read in the manual and looked on a video, but that information is not sufficiently detailed for me. I have tried several options, but I come now way. Generally it seems that your information is only for the ones who can, not for the people who can´t although it is we who really need to learn. Please give me a step by step (click by click) information on how I can get the ice above the flower and then make the ice partly transparent so the flower is seen underneath. Please send me an e-mail Erik Solbu [email protected]

    Open a new document big enough for your image. Then additional open your ice and flower image as well. Copy each and paste it into your blank document. They will be placed on their own separate layers.
    Make sure in your layers panel. (Bottom right) the ice is above the flower, by dragging it in place. In that same layers panel click the ice layer to select in and find the opacity meter above. Drag to the left until you get the effect you desire.

  • Using a dll function that does not have any inputs from a VI

    Hello all, I'm very new to Labview, I have wraped a dll library using the LVlib wizard and now I am trying to use it in a project.  I have a function that does not take any inputs or return any thing except that a struct is populated with some status information as part of the call.  I am able to draw a StartInterface VI because my void startInterface(const char* configFile, struct status_struct* status) takes the location of a configutation file as an input. But I can not figure out how to connect my Call Library Node to my a function vi that does not have any inputs ( void shutdownInterface(struct status_struct* status)). 
    Note that the status struct is deffined to be only and out put at the creation of the LVLIB.
    Thanks, Mike

    Thanks for the responses guys:
       I think I am aware of the conotations of inputs and outputs when I created the lvlib I specified the argument  struct status_struct* status as only an output instead of the default of input and output.
    I do not think that I am doing anything as complex as function callbacks. My immediate goal is to have an executable (I have application builder) with two buttons and two three text fields one text field for the input of the config file, two text-fields for a cstring that is contained in the status struct; one button to start the interface and one button to stop the interface. 
    This is in all likely hood a case of my self being too dense and missing something fundimental ;-)  I just can't figure out how to wire the shut down method after I've configured the call library node. See the attached pictures:

  • Function that returns N values, without using a string

    Hi, how can i make a function that returns several valures (that hasn't a exact number of returned values, it could return 3 values, or 7) without using a string?
    When i need to return several values from a function, i put the values inside a varchar like thus 'XXX,YYY,ZZZ' and so on. Don't know if this has a poor performance.
    If you can supply simple examples for what im asking, i would be nice.

    Is there a function that uses Get_DAQ_Device_Info - device_type_code to get info on the hardware characteristics such as a list of available gains or A/D converter resolution?

    Duncan;
    When calling Get_DAQ_Device_Info we get most of the information for our board. For example: the base address, calibration status, counter type, serial number, device type code, DMA and Interrupt levels, etc.
    At this moment we do not have any function that will let us know the number of channels of a certain device and the configuration mode supported by the board.
    However, you can use the Init_DA_Boards to retrieve what type of board is installed on the machine at a given time, and to have a look up table with the available gains for the possible boards that can be used on your application.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have just purchased Real player 15sp but it does not seem to recognise Firefox13? and I cannot use the extra functions that it has. Example I cannot download

    I have just purchased Real player 15sp but it does not seem to recognise Firefox13? and I cannot use the extra functions that it has. Example I cannot download videos. Thank you.

    Cannot download videos
    This is caused by the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension. To fix it, disable the extension.
    The RealPlayer plugin will still work.
    At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
    In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
    Select RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin.
    Click on Disable.
    Click Restart Now to start Firefox with the extension disabled. My add-on manager says the add-on is disabled.
    I tried this and it didn't work, what else?

  • Create timer function that does not use start-sleep

    Hey all I would like to create a timer function that does not use the start-sleep command because this freezes my GUI. I've wrote the start of a function but it seems to move on before the specified time has finished.
    Here's what I have:
    $Global:timerCounter=0
    $Global:timer = new-object System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer
    Function Timer{
    param(
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [int]$time
    $timer.Interval = [TimeSpan]"0:0:$($time)"
    $timer.Add_Tick({
    $Global:timerCounter++
    if($Global:timerCounter -ge 1) {
    $Global:timer.Stop()
    $timer.Start()
    Then in my script i would like to call Timer -time #of seconds. It seems that when I call it the add_tick is registered and then started but it continues on with the rest of my script. Is there a better way of doing this without using start-sleep?
    Thanks!

    Okay the issue I'm having is that I have code after the $timer.start that I don't wan't to run till a powershell job is done. In all the examples I've seen it has to come to the end of the code then it starts the tick. So in your example it comes to the
    end of of your code and showsDialog() then starts ticking.
    So:
    add-type -AssemblyName system.windows.forms
    $form=New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
    $btn=New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
    $form.Controls.Add($btn)
    $btn.add_Click({$form.Close()})
    $btn.Dock='Fill'
    $btn.Font='Lucida Console, 20.25pt, style=Bold'
    $btn.Text=[DateTime]::Now
    $timer=New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Timer
    $timer.Interval=1000
    $timer.add_Tick({$btn.Text=[DateTime]::Now})
    $timer.Start()
    $form.ShowDialog()
    #I want to do other things here but only after the ps job has finished
    Thanks I really am trying to figure this out. 
    Here is the code I'm working with I guess I'm unclear on how to order the timer and the rest of my code:
    if($syncHash.mainCopy){
    $syncHash.mainJobDone = $false
    $syncHash.writeHost = $false
    while(-not $syncHash.mainJobDone){
    [System.Windows.Forms.Application]::DoEvents()
    if($syncHash.writeHost -eq $false){
    Write-OutputBox -Message "Copying"
    $syncHash.writeHost = $true
    $syncHash.inProgress = $syncHash.mainCopy | Where-Object {$_.State -match 'running'}
    $syncHash.currentCopyTime++
    }elseif($syncHash.currentCopyTime -ge ($syncHash.averageCopyTime * 2) -and $syncHash.collectionCopyTime.Count -ne 0){
    $syncHash.Unusable += $syncHash.currentMainCopyMachine
    $syncHash.computersNotForInstall += $syncHash.currentMainCopyMachine
    $syncHash.inProgress = $null
    $syncHash.mainCopyTimedOut = $True
    Write-OutputBox -Type WARNING: -Message "$($syncHash.currentMainCopyMachine) is taking too long. Removing Job.."
    Add-Content -Path $log_path -Value "$($syncHash.currentMainCopyMachine) taking to long to copy to"
    Stop-Job $syncHash.mainCopy
    }else{
    $syncHash.inProgress = $syncHash.mainCopy | Where-Object {$_.State -match 'running'}
    Write-OutputBox -Message "." -NoNewLine
    ############################# ############# So I need it to wait right here I have other code other than in this block ############# that needs to run $syncHash.currentCopyTime++
    if(-not $syncHash.inProgress){
    $syncHash.mainJobDone = $true

  • Latest update of Firefox is REALLLLLY slow. Is it just all the extra functionality that has been added or is there a button I need to press to make it the same speed as it use to be. Can I downgrade to last version?

    Latest update of Firefox is REALLY slow. Is it just all the extra functionality that has been added or is there a button I need to press to make it the same speed as it use to be? I'll have to start usin safari again as this isn't funny anymore
    Can i retro grade back to the last version?

    uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
    ... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
    so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

  • Hi, Does anyone know when Apple may be introducing a smaller more managable IPhone so we dont have to carry a brick around with us anymore. Even if this means less functions that, lets be honest, we dont all use at all. Many thanks
