Please! take a quick look and give me your opinion

I want to read signals from two tasks in order to make it possible to calibrate all sensors (tasks) indiviually. My program will always read to sensors in different combinations.
This is my way to read 2 tasks "simultaneously"...
Do you think it is a good idea or ... just bad..
It does work, I think...

Tanks,
Very helpful example.
However...
When I started to build my program I used the "multiple channels" DAQmx read block, And configured a voltage task that I used for all my sensors. To scale the measured signal into correct value (in for example Newton to show on the screen) a number of calculations were applied, depending on selected sensor.
This means that I have to do the calibration of the sensors outside of Labview. Until I found the possibility to calibrate each task (individually) in MAX... This is much easier because I don't have to bother about all the calibration values and compensations that I used before. This is the reason why I want to give each sensor its own task. And when each sensor is given its own task, and I always need to measure two sensors (two channels), this problem arise.
I can se 2 possible solutions... maybe.
1. Create a scale in MAX for each sensor instead, then I should be able to use the example in the link above  --  think this would work, but I need to find the slope and offset value on my own as before.
2. If there is a way to read from global viritual channels instead of tasks, and if it is possible to connect 2 viritual channels independent  to he task during operation  --  Probably not.
Maybe a little confuising explanation...

  • Its working just fine but does it look good? Take a look and give me your advice!

    I got to say that this is my first finnished labview program, and  it's working fine, almost no problems. But i'm not that shure about
    this huge while loop with all its instructions. Normaly a while loop takes 1 ms to iterate once, but this loop takes more than one ms,
    I'm using another subVI to catch data up to 5 ms. / sample as output from measurement device to  the while loop in this Sub vi, and then from this sub VI i'm initializing the data value read from the Measurement device, to a global variable that i read in this huge while loop.  I belive that the subVI while loop iterates several times before the huge loop iterates once. Meaby thats why my graphs for the data are plotting more than one data at a time.
    Take a look and give your advice, it seems that all the measurements are well. And I don't really got problems with the program when running, exept from small delays when I switch the sample rates.

    I agree with Titou.
    Wow!  That's an eye-full. 
    There are some functions like setting audio On / Off that may not need to be in there.  Or do they?  You'd have to describe what the loop is supposed to do.  Same comment for the indicator display settings on property nodes.  Do you intend to turn them on/off a number of times during an iteration of the loop?
    You should "divide & conquer".  By that I mean, use sub-vi's that are function specific.  As mentionned by Titou, you should have a look at the development guidelines.   Basically, now that you have a working loop, you can improve it by creating some sub-vi's, revisit some items that may  not need to be in the loop.  As a matter of fact, you could create some control & indicators and maybe transform the loop into a sub-vi as well. 
    There are many Case Statements that you could convert to sub-vi's and that way, you could eliminate the global variables by using indicators and wiring directly to them.
    However, I would have to say that the value for "Write Flow Data" might become unpredictable due to race conditions.  Revisit how the value(s) are set for that one.
    But it does look like you had some fun doing this one.  Which is the most important thing.  To have fun implementing solutions with LV.
    Happy wiring!

  • Not great images with new 6D. Please take a look and give me your thoughts

    I'm going on a 2 week trip to Japan in 3 days so I'm hoping to figure this out before I leave.
    I got my new 6d with 24-105 L lens kit, and also the 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM. It doesn't seem like any of the photos are that sharp without a very high contrast shot in full sunlight. Indoor shots or those with lower contrast (tree bark, leaves, something in the shade, etc.) seem pretty unsharp to me. I'm not sure if the AF just can't get a precise focus, or if the sensor just can't get good detail unless those conditions are met.
    This is my first DSLR, although I've had film SLRs for 30+ years before that, and digital point and shoots for the last decade or so. I'm not sure if my expectations were too high or if there's something wrong with the camera, lenses, AF, or IS systems, or if I'm doing something wrong.
    Some photos are below. I shot them all above the 1/focal length rule and some 2x or 3x or more above that, so in theory that would eliminate the camera shake issue, and also in theory the IS system should give you 2-3 stops so it doesn't seem to me that camera shake should be the issue. (I've also taken tripod shots and had the same issue so I don't think it's camera shake.)
    All are large fine jpegs (20mb) straight from the camera, blown up to 100%.

    Other than the truck badge and maybe the wall photos (high contrast, full sunlight), most of them don't seem that sharp to me. What do you guys think? Most people are raving about how good the low light performance is on the 6d but I'm just not seeing it, not even in moderate light.
    Here's a link to where someone compares a few different cameras one of them being the 6d. My images are not as sharp as them as far as I can tell.

  • Please take a quick look at this: Midi Problem with Logic 8.0.2

    Hello, I am trying to connect up my Roland FP3 Keyboard with Logic 8.0.2. I am using the following MIDI IN/OUT to USB device:
    MUSIC STORE Midi Port 1x1 USB
    http://www.musicstore.de/de_DE/EUR/-/art-PCM0006795-000
    In the Audio Midi Setup in Mac OS X 10.5.5, the Midi device calls itself WORLDE MIDI PORT and is automatically recognized. However, when I click on "Test Setup", nothing happens. This is not the first time that i have setup such a device and i recall that with other MIDI-USB devices that the computer plays some kind of sound to confirm that the MIDI-USB device is working.
    More importantly, when i open up Logic 8.0.2, the transport bar displays "No In", "No Out". This is very confusing seeing as that the device is recognized in the Audio/Midi Setup. It is unlikely that the device is broken, because I've now gone back to the store where i bought it and replaced the first device with an identical second device - and am now having the same problem. The staff at this music store say that the Midi-USB device should automatically display, for example, C-sharp 4, in the transport bar without any additional tinkering. I have a feeling though that there is some kind of button that i have not pressed (or HAVE pressed that i shouldn't have pressed) and as a result can't play music in from my keyboard into my computer.
    I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to give me a helpful pointer here. As you can imagine this is quite frustrating. Thank you very much in advance!

    "No in No out" simply means there is no MIDI coming in or going out +at that moment+. If you strike keys and move controllers and it still says no in no out, then you may have a problem. Is that the case? Have you actually touched the keys...?

    One problem I'm having is find the perfect streaming settings for the movies. I did check them on a fast Windows machine and on a brand new Mac at the local CompUSA store. Things worked well on their very fast Internet connection but the longer concept video didn't seem to want to stream. I'm almost thinking to grab some JumpCut or YouTube code and insert it just to get it to work. I know this will put their logos in but I'm just not sure what to do.
    One thing I'm aware of and something I did do on purpose is that I made the background images very large -- to accomodate those wealthy folks with the very big, very wide monitors. I wanted never to run out of background "virtual" world no matter how big one stretched the browser window. Also, the necessity to scroll was intentional. Let me know if this is too annoying.
    Appreciate any expert helpful comments and feedback on improvements.

  • Please give me your opinion

    Hi Guys,
    I was wondering if you can give me your opinion about this issue. My friend has a macboobk pro intel core duo 1.83 ghz 512mb ram and 80 gb 15" superdrive and he ask me if I want to trade it for my Macbook 2. ghz Intel core 2 duo , 1gb ram, superdrive, 80gb hd etccc...
    What do you guys think? is it worth it?
    Please advise
    Thanks

    If I were given this option, I'd go with no, only because I've formed an attachment with my macbook.
    However, all the specs on the computers can be upgraded, so if you do choose to make the trade, you can upgrade the memory & ram to your liking, just not the processor speed. If you take an in depth look at the differences between the core duo and the core 2 duo, you might see some that are things you wouldn't want to live without. I've heard that the c2d have the new 802.11n capabilities, while the cd do not. Just something more to take into consideration.
    Personally, I also like the 13.3 inch screen of my macbook (hence why I like it so much) better than the other size screens of other notebooks.
    When I first wanted to get a mac, I was looking at the MBP's, but then I saw the macbooks and my mind was set.
    It is true that your gaming experience and other graphic intensive programs will be better on the mbp, but honestly... I haven't come across anything that runs poorly on my macbook. So... I'd have to go with a no on the trade.
    Just my $.02

  • Cover Flow, Quick Look and Finder icons ignore ICC color profiles

    ... and that really bothers me!
    As a photographer, I tend to save photos with different color profiles embedded in them. Sometimes it's Adobe RGB, sometimes sRGB, sometimes Generic RGB (don't ask).
    Aside from the apps that HAVE TO regard color profiles (Aperture, Photoshop etc), I was under the impression that color consistency is important throughout OS X. I am satisfied that Safari and Preview fully support color profiles, and that is why I am appalled that Cover Flow and Quick Look (my favorite feature in Leopard) do not! How do I know? It's in the plain eye sight.

  • Please can you clarify this and give me an example ?

    I want to sign up with iTunes connect to publish my books, but there is this section of the contract which I didn't get it is not clear will you please clarify it and give me an example.
    "Apple shall be entitled to a commission, in accordance with this Section 5(a) on the delivery of any eBook to any eBook purchaser, even if Apple is unable to collect the Customer Price for that eBook from that eBook purchaser."
    Does it mean that if someone did a purchase of my book you deliver it, before you got paid and it will be registered as sold, and I have to pay the commission for an unpaid book which may be done by many humbugs hundred times .

    It might be similiar to the way Amazon does it - if you set the eBook price higher at one store than every other store, that store has the right to lower the price and collect the lower price for it (price matching).
    So you sell your book at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Apple.
    At Amazon it's $5.
    At Barnes and Noble it's $5.
    At Apple it's $10.
    Apple has the right to lower the price to $5 and collect the commission on $5 and only remit you your commission on the $5.
    That's my GUESS. I don't actually know, I just know what's how Amazon does it.

  • Quick Look and CS2 Files

    When I'm in Cover Flow view, Illustrator and InDesign files have thumbnails. However, if I click on Quick Look, I just get a grainy blown-up view of the application icon. I work mainly in Illustrator and InDesign, so no Quick Looks of those files is a big disappointment.

    This is kind of weird because I assumed Cover Flow utilized Quick Look to display the hires file icons. You can see the file icons are being rasterized and are not just bitmaps because even when Cover Flow is huge the icons look great.

Maybe you are looking for
