Question about using for-loop to generate array from DAQmx. Thanks!

I have a laser system with a frequency of 1kHz, I am using this 1kHz signal to trigger the DAQmx and get the data from a photodetector, e.g. I will get 1000 data points during 1 second from DAQmx, but I need to separate this 1000 data points into the even and odd list, which is two list of 500 data points, e.g.. The 1st, 3rd, ... 99th data is one array, the 2nd, 4th,... 10th data is another array, then I will do further calculations based on these two arrays.
To seperate the even and odd data, the only way I can find is put these 1000 points into an array and then seperate them afterwards.
Can I do things like this pic?
I don't know the speed of the for loop, because the 1kHz trigger is always there, once it is triggered, the DAQmx read will give a data point, if the speed of the for-loop( the time from the end of a loop to the beginning of the next loop) is slower than the 1kHz trigger, then the for-loop will miss data point, then the ordering of the 1000 points in 1 second will be changed.
Or I need to put everything, e.g. AI Voltage, Trigger, sample clock, into the for-loop and then return a Y? Thanks!

Clarification:
The VI you have posted will work as following:
1) The task will read 2 analog inputs (ai0, ai3).
2) The acquisition starts, oncece digital signal (trigger) is detected on PFI0
3) The sampling rate will be as specified in "rate" control - it is continuous analog input acquisition, which means that after trigger is received (point 2), the board will start to generate hardware clock with frequency you specify as "rate"
4) with each rising edge of that hardware clock, the measurement is taken, and stored into buffer of driver.
5) DAQmx read will try to read "number of samples per channel" number of samples each time is called - and if there is not enough measurement stored in buffer (step 4), then DAQmx read will wait until DAQ card will measure reaquested number of samples (or timeout occurs before requested number of samples has been acquired)
6) DAQmx read will be then called 1000 times - so totaly you will read 1000 * "number of samples per channel" number of samples.
You do not have to be worried about speed of the loop. In fact, if you need to read just 1000 samples, with 1kS/s, then you can remove for loop and you can change measurement mode from continuous to finite samples, and specify number of samples to read to be 1000. You will read them all properly. I recomend you to read User Manual for your DAQ device - lets say M Series User Manual.
I hope it is clear now.

Question about "Enhanced for loop"

public class NewLoopTest{
     public NewLoopTest(){
          int result=0;
          int[] a=new int[20];
          for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++){
               a=i++;
          for(int i:a){
System.out.println("i="+i+";"+"a["+i+"]="+a[i]+";result="+result+"+"+i+"="+(result+i));
               result+=i;
          System.out.println("-------------");
          result=0;
          for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++){
               System.out.println("i="+i+";"+"a["+i+"]="+a[i]+";result="+result+"+"+i+"="+(result+i));
               result+=i;
This code counts sum of the elements of a array.
At first I use the enhanced for loop and at second I use the traditional for.
Enhanced for loop in sdk1.5 returns only even elements of array, am I right?

Enhanced for loop in sdk1.5 returns only even
elements of array, am I right?No. It covers them all.
The i in the enhanced for loop is not the index. It's the element at the current index. You don't have access to the index in the new loop because you don't need it.
for (int item : arr) {
    System.out.println(item);
// is equivalent to
for (int ix = 0; ix < arr.length; ix++) {
    int item = aa[ix];
    System.out.println(item);
}The i in your new loop is the same as a [ i ] in the old loop.

Hi, I have quick question about use of USEBEAN tag in SP2. When I specify a scope of SESSION for the java bean, it does not keep the values that I set for variable in the bean persistent.Thanks,Sonny

Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.

Build 1D array using for loop

Hi guys,
I am testing out array. How do I create a 1D array of x-y using for loop?

Nextal wrote:

OK, first of all you did not say what the array should contain. If you want an array that has one array element for each iteration of the while loop, you need to first think a bit harder. Your outer loop has no wait, thus it will spin millions of times per second and you will run out of memory soon, no matter how much memory you have. How many times should the while loop iterate? If you know the number before the program starts, you would use a FOR loop and autoindex at the loop boundary.
If you want to use a whiile loop, you need a mechanism to keep the array size reasonable. For small final arrays, you can just build the array in a shift register if you need it updated as it happens. If you only need the array after the loop stops, you can autoindex at the right loop boundary.
In any case, you should take a step back and decide what you really want. Currently the specifications are very vague and unreasonable.

A question about Using RSL for our Intranet Application

Hi ,
I am doing an Intranet Application (Which will be used only with in the Employees of the Organization)
We want to RSL as read that it will improve the performance of the swf files .
Please let us know what type of RSL (like Standard RSLs , Cross-domain RSLs or Framework RSL)
Suppourt us ??
Can anybody let me know how can i provide RSL facility for my Application .
Thanks in advnace .

Thanks for the information .
As you mentioned:
RSLs are only useful if more than one SWF is going to share it.
Our Intranet Application is divided into several Modules , but under only one APPlication MMXL file . So will this be useful for us in any way ??
Thanks .
Waiitng for your resposne .

How do i sweep two voltage at the same time by using for loop ?

Hello, Can anyone help me on this topic ?
My problem is to sweep Vds and Vgs as same time vs Id in MOSFET by using for loop. I also use the Agilent power supply source. Let me tell a litle bit about what i'm doing. For different value of Vds, i will get Vgs vs Id curve. (The x axis is Vgs, the y-axis is Id).
I started to create two for-loop, the inner to sweep Vgs, and the outer one to sweep Vds. My problem is don't know how to connect all the wire in the for loop.
In the for loop i saw N, i icon. Suppose I have the two variable for Vgs such as Vgs start and Vgs_stop. Should the Vgs_start( or Vgs_stop) be connected to N or leave it in the for_loop ?
for example: I want to sweep Vgs from 0(for Vgs_start) to 5(Vgs_strop) V, and the step increment is .5V how do i connect these variables in the for loop ?
Thank you for your time

It is easier to use a while loop. Dennis beat me to the punch. Here is my solution:
You can remove the flat sequence structure if you use Error In and Error Out to ensure the execution flow will occur in the proper order. Be sure to include the delay time in the loop so that your vi doesn't hog all the CPU time.

I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school. Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom. The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher

I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school. Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom. The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher #1 iPad to its AppleTV without effecting/projecting onto the adjacent teachers #2 classroom AppleTV?

Not as such.
Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.

Will using for loop decrease the performance

Hi,
Will using for loop with a query decrease the performance.
for r_row in (select * from table) Loop
end loop.
This is done inside another for loop, most of the cases it returns only one value.
will it decrease the peformance of the procedure.
kindly advice.......

PL/SQL is two languages. It is PL (programming logic code) like Pascal or C or Java. You can use a 2nd language inside it called SQL. The PL engine is clever enough to recognise when the 2nd language is used. And it compiles all the stuff that is needed for the PL engine to call the SQL engine, pass data to the SQL engine and get data back, etc. (compare this with the complexity of using the SQL language in Pascal or C or Java).
So what does that loop do? The PL engine recognises the SQL SELECT statement. It creates an implicit cursor by calling the SQL engine to parse it (hopefully a soft parse) and then execute it.
As part of the PL loop, the PL engine now calls the SQL engine to fetch the data (rows) from the cursor. With 10g and later, the PL engine is smart enough to use implicit bulk processing.
Prior to 10g it used to fetch a row from the SQL engine, do the loop, fetch the next row, do the loop, etc. This means if there is a 1000 rows to fetch, it will call the SQL engine a 1000 times.
With 10g and later it will fetch a 100 rows, store that in an internal buffer and then do the loop a 100 times. With a 1000 rows to fetch, it now only requires 10 bulk fetches instead of a 1000 single row fetches.
These fetches require a context switch - as the PL engine has to step out and into the SQL engine and back, to fetch a row. This is an overhead and thus can become slow the more context switching there is.
And this is the basics for this loop (and most other cursor loops) construct in PL/SQL.
The ideal is to reduce the number of context switches. This is an overhead that can impact on performance.
What about using a loop within a loop. Also "bad". This uses the outer loop to fetch data. This data is then used to drive the fetch in the inner or nested loop. So the outside loop pulls data from the SQL engine into PL variables. The inside loop pushes that very same data back to the SQL engine.
Why? It would have been a lot faster no to pull and push that data between the loops using PL.
It will be a lot faster doing it via SQL only. Write both loops as a single SQL statement and have the SQL engine directly drive these loops itself. This is called a JOIN in SQL. And the SQL engine can do it not only faster, but it has some froody algorithms that can be used that are even faster than a nested loop process (called merge joins, hash joins, etc).
Bottom line. Maximise SQL. Minimise PL.*
Do as much of your data crunching in SQL as possible. SQL is the best and fastest "place" to process data. Not PL (or Pascal/C/Java).

Question about using new battery in old Powerbook

I have a pre-intel Powerbook G4, and the battery is pretty much toast (lasts about 15 minutes now). I have ordered a new battery for it, and I have this question about using it:
Am I smarter to keep the new strong battery out of the PB most days (as I usually work with it plugged in at home) and just pop it in when I know I will be out surfing on batteries? Or is it just as good living in my laptop 24/7 and only occasionally being called upon to do its job?
Current bad Battery Information below:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 1144
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1115
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 12387
Cycle Count: 281
thanks folks, Shereen

Hi, Shereen. Every Powerbook battery wants to be used — drained and then recharged — at least every couple of weeks. If you've always used your Powerbook on AC power nearly all the time, and not followed that pattern of discharging and recharging the battery every week or two, it's possible that your use habits have shortened the lifespan and prematurely diminished the capacity of your old battery. Of course it's also possible that your battery is merely old, as a battery's capacity also diminishes with age regardless of how it's used. You didn't say how old the battery is in years, so this may or may not be an issue. I mention it only because it can be an issue.
For general information on handling a battery for the longest possible lifespan, see this article. My advice on the basis of that article and long experience reading these forums is that it would be OK to do as you propose, but I doubt that you'd derive any significant benefit from it. You would still want to be sure of putting the new battery through a charge/discharge cycle every week or two, even if you didn't have a reason to use the Powerbook away from home or your desk, because sitting unused outside the computer is just as bad for a battery as sitting unused inside it. And you should never remove the battery from your computer when it's completely or almost completely discharged and let it sit that way any longer than a day or two.

Question about using TVARV in an ABAP program

Hello gurus, Im sorry about the silly question.
I have a question about using TVARV in an ABAP program.
A program is presenting a problem and I think that in this code:
SELECT SIGN OPTI LOW HIGH
FROM TVARV
INTO TABLE R_1_163431035_VELOCIDADE
WHERE NAME = '1_163431035_VELOCIDADE'
AND    TYPE = 'S'.
IF ZMM001-VELOCIDADE_B   IN R_1_163431035_VELOCIDADE AND
      ZOPERADORAS-OPERADORA = 'ABCD' AND
      ZMM001-MATERIAL       IN R_1_163431035_PRODUTO.
ELSE.
ENDIF.
What happens is that the value "ZMM001-SPEED" B not exist in "R1_163431035_VELOCIDADE" but the program executes commands under the IF and not under the ELSE, as I imagine it would work. Is this correct ?
I am new to ABAP programming, but I have a lot of XP in other programming languages and this makes no sense to me.
Anyone know where I can find some documentation of the use of "TVARV" in ABAP programs?
I search the Internet if other programmers use TVARV this way, but found nothing, which leads me to think that was a quick and dirty solution that used here.
If this is a bad way to program, what would be the best way?
Regards
Ronaldo.

Hi Ronaldo,
But in this case, the range is not empty, there are 17 records, in this way.:
For the column "SING" all values are "E"
It means that the result is false if ZMM001-VELOCIDADE_B has the same value as one of the 17 records (E = exclude).
For instance, if it has value 'C' and one of 17 records matches C, then the result is false.
The "IF" with "IN" using "TVARV" as used in the program of the post above has the same behavior of a selection screen?
Yes, the same behavior as the selection criterion to be exact. You can press the help key in the complex selection dialog for more info.
I know it's a silly and very basic question, but other language that I used, only the SQL has the "IN" operator, but I think they work in different ways, so I would like to understand how it works in ABAP.
Not silly ;-). Yes they work differently.

Question about using Macbook in Vietnam.

The only thing I know that Vietnam use 220V so, can anyone help me?

You may need a plug adaptor, but you don't need a power converter.

Repeating nodes using FOR loop but when concating XML string then concating only last iteration of FOr loop ??

Question about Using PAPI Web Service in PowerBuilder 9

Hi, all.
I Have a simple question about using papiws in power builder 9.
In pb9, I created a new Web Service Proxy Wizard and I input a url for papiws(ex. http://seraphpernote:7001/papiws/PapiWebService) and click next.
But I couldn't get any Service List.
In Eclipse, I used this url for using papiws well.
Does anybody know about this case??
help me plz.

IIRC you must activate PAPI-WS for the engine. In Studio you do it by right-clicking on the project, then "engine preferences". In enterprise/standalone you must activate PAPI-WS in the Admin Center.
