Scope scale problem!!!

Hi all.
I´m new to labview and currently using version 8.5! My problem is as follows:
I am connected to a agilent DSO6014A scope through GPIB to USB cable. I used the "Fetch Analog Waveform.vi" in my program for transferring 4 channels signal from scope to PC and write average signal measurement to a file. I am able to retrieve the wave into labview but the scale is not as expected. From 4 channels I send around 2.4V dc signal (with small noise) to labview but with scaling in range 1000 -9000 with different reference (i mean all signal ground is not same in the labview program). I add the image of labview waveform output and expected output and scope output. I expect shortly 4 signal at the same ground/refence around 2.4V.
I don't know what to do now. Thanks in advance for your help.

I unfortnately do not have that scope next to me and so I cannot try to replicate this on my end.  However Things that I would verify are:
1. Verify that you are actually getting the signal that you are expecting at your Oscilloscope. with either the scope display or another scope that you may have present. 
2. Connect a known voltage to your Scope (1.5 V battery or something different to verify that we can pull that voltage in appropriately).
3. Write a quick VI with the Agilent Driver to do a simple voltage measurement from 1 channel and gets either 1 value or subset of waveform data to verify that that work sproperly - making it a problem with your VI instead of the acqisition process
I would give these couple things a shot and see what is actually causing this to occur.  Let us know of the results of these troubleshooting steps.

  • Earth Zoom scale problem

    Hi there,
    My first post on a Apple forum...quite a momentous occasion.
    Basically I want to do a simple zoom in from an earth view into a city in Motion. I've researched it online and there is one tutorial which everyone points too:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkvURxnIKsw
    I followed the tutorial using around 15 images from Google. All good. The problem happened when I came to keyframe the zoom in. I need to zoom in around 4000000 percent to get to my city from my widest shot. So on playback the zoom starts absurdly fast and ends absurdly slow, even with adjusting the keyframe interpolation. I use exactly the same method as the tutorial but the difference is, he is only zooming in from a wide view of a city to a building and so only needing around 3000 percent. Much easier to handle.
    After Effects tutorials get around the huge scale problem by 'parenting' the layers to the closest image (ie:the city) but i can't seem to find a way similar in Motion.
    Any help much appreciated

    The corollary in Motion to parenting in After Effects (in this tutorial) is grouping. The way they use grouping in that tutorial, you should be able to get the results you're looking for.
    Personally, I don't think you need so many groups. I put two layers into one group (GROUP 1), and scaled the first layer down. Then I added a 2nd group (GROUP 2) below the first group with my next largest pic. Instead of scaling down the 2nd layer to match the 3rd, I scaled GROUP 1 to match the 3rd layer. Once they matched, I dropped the 3rd layer into GROUP 1 and added a 4th layer to GROUP 2. Repeat as necessary.
    When you're finished you'll have all the layers into a single group which should be at a small scale. Then animate your group.
    The real problem is that you don't have an exponential scaling of your group. To solve that problem, animate your scale with the exponential behavior. Make sure that your group is at its farthest point. Right-click the scale and choose Exponential. Go to the end of the behavior. In the behaviors tab, adjust the End value until you're zoomed in to your nearest point. Open the Keyframe Editor (CMD+8) to view your exponential curve. Adjust the End Offset value on the behavior to shorten the animation to the length you want.
    You can also get exponential scaling with the Grow/Shrink Behavior. It's the same basic idea. Add it to your group and adjust the scale. Make sure that the increment is set to Natural Scale. You might even get better results from that.

  • VM Auto Scale Problem

    Hi Team,
    I encountered a VM auto scale problem, 
    We have 3 VMs in a Availibility Set and configure VM auto scale, what we configured is that let 2 VMs running,  the third one as a standby server.
    when I  look at the auto scale log, it's wired that the logs say it will scale from 1 instance to 2 instances.
    paste part of the logs.

  • Agilent infinium scope scale setting problem!!

    I have a vi that sets the frequency on an arbitrary waveform generator and the output of that arb is connected to chan1 on the Agilent infinium scope. When the scope gets the frequency, it Autoscales and then if sets the scale to the right divisions per second on its own, now the problem I have is that if I put lets say more than 10MHz on chan1 of the scope, the Autoscale sets the Scope's scale to lets 50ms/div and I want to be able to programmatically set the scale on the scope to what I want, can someone tell me if its possible or do I have to stick with Autoscaling?
    The thing is that I want to be able to read a certain voltage on the channle, lets say I want to be able to read 500mv pk-pk, if the scale of the scope
    is on lets say 50ms/div, it takes longer to find the pk-pk voltage that I want and sometimes it may not find it...
    Can anyone help?

    You can turn autoscaling off and use the Configure Channel.vi function to set the vertical range. Autoscaling before every measurement will increase your test time and is something you might want to avoid in any case but what I don't understand is the other problem you're having with the autoscale function. If the scope is not correctly autoscaling and the signal is clipped, then you might want to talk to Agilent and see if there's something wrong with the scope.

  • Embedding swf into Flex Desktop Application size/scale problem.

    Hello,
    I am embedding an swf animation into my desktop Flex desktop application. I am using SDK 4.6.0. I use the SWFLoader to embed the animation:
    <s:SWFLoader source="img/mch_anim_1.swf"/>
    When I run the application, the animation is loaded and is working, but when I try to maximize the window there is a size/scale bug that happens. The screen  stays half-side maximized (maximized to the top, bottom and stays until the middle of the screen by side).
    I've published the SWF for Flash Player 8 and Actionscript 2 just to test and there was no problem with the size/scale, but I need to use Actionscript 3.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Stefan

    I found the problem!
    There was a line of code that was auto-generated from using a template out of Flash CS6. The line of code that caused it is:
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
    After deleting it, everything is now working properly.
    Greetings!

  • Flash image viewer, picture scale problem in CS3

    Please someone help me. I have built a website 3 years ago, and I still have this problem. In CS3 I added a flash image viewer (slideshow.swf) as a slideshow to show gardens we have made. When you first visit the site and look at the pictures (wich are bigger than the viewer window because of picture quality issues) they don`t shrink to fit into the viewer window, you only end up seeing a fraction of them. But when they download and you go back to see them again a second later, they become the right size. It also swiches to the right size when the loop play gets back to the first pic again.
    In the flash element properties I tried the different scale settings, and looked at other settings too but I couldn`t make it work.
    I think making the viewer window as large as the pictures, would look odd. Maybe buying on other slideshow program to insert into dreamweaver would work.
    If you would like to see the site its: tsugagardens.com , than look in the photo gallery and after the pics download go back with the back button and see the difference in the pics.
    Thank you for your efforts,
    Tibor

  • HELP PLEASE - loading external swf scale problem

    I have a Flex 3 Actionscript Project. Basically all it does it take some flash vars, set the sound volume,  and load an external swf using a loader and add the loader as a child. The problem is I want the loaded external swf to be scaled to fill the entire stage, even if it distorts it, and that doesn't seem to be happening.
    I really need to resolve this. ANY HELP APPRECIATED.
    Marcus

    Thanks for the reply!
    Here's basically what my code looks like (note: I cut some stuff out that wasn't relevant for the sake of clarity).
    private var swfLoader:Loader = null;
    public function MySwfContainer()  
        stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
        stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
        var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swfUrl);
        swfLoader = new Loader();
        swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,SWFLoader_Complete);
        swfLoader.load(request);       
    private function SWFLoader_Complete(event:Event):void
        addChild(swfLoader);
    What I am observing is that if a swf larger than the stage area is loaded it clips it rather than scale it down and make it fit.

  • X-y chart scale problem

    I am using an x-y chart and I allow the user to select auto. scale
    and default scale as appropriate using the property node.
    Sometimes, when the scale is changed, one of the scale
    is overlap, one of the scale is constant. This problem is not
    always repeatable but occurs at window vista regularly and I
    have recently discovered it in a LV built exe also (when the exe
    is restarted it's OK). I am using LV8.5.
    Has anyone got a fix for this?

  • Appraisals - Value list/Rating scales problem

    I assign the rating scale/value list to a template. I face a problem. I have defined a 5 scale rating. Its working fine in R/3 side. But when I go to ESS/MSS, an extra 'Select a Value' comes as default. I do not want this default. Is there any way, I can remove it or change its description. This is coming even if I make the value required.
    Also, I want to change the standard description of the value. So I went to 'Value Description' tab in the template. But it is greyed out. How can I make it open for entry?

  • Uniform scale problem

    Hi,
    I have some problem with scaling in Adobe Illustrator CS4.
    I will explain it with an example.
    Imagine that You have shape which looks like a key - bigger circle and smaller long rectangle. Horizontal composition. How to scale it - uniformly of course - to achieve certain height of the rectangle part?
    In previous CS3 it was able by:
    creating 2 guides (with offset of certain distance),
    then moving rectangle anchor (eg. top one) to one of them,
    next Scale Tool with reference point on that guide
    and finally draging opposite anchor/path - with little "uniform" text near anchor - to second guide.
    Now (CS4) uniform works only with 45 degrees dragging (and Shift-key pressed), so I can't do scale precisely.
    The same thing is a problem with logo containing graphic and text. How to scale it to achieve certain height of text?
    Last example - text "Max" with outlined paths. How to scale it to achieve certain height of "x" letter?
    I would be glad for help.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for another guides.
    First - I don't want Illy to be CAD. I use AutoCAD for architecture and Illustrator for graphic design and for making CAD drawings look better. I'm talking about nice, productive and precise features.
    Back to topic:
    I was talking about real accuracy. Value of 23.711 isn't store in Illustrator like this. It can be 23.71137287328... Even when You see 72.5 it can be 72.5002234223... Or 60 can be 59.999626327...
    Try scaling 500.020 to 1% - it will be 5 (5.000?). Then try scaling x100 - will it be 500.000 or 500.020.
    I've also noticed that sometimes Illy makes .999 (or .001) fraction in "well-formed" shapes.
    In AutoCAD if I want to scale sth, I simply select it and via SCALE command I specify reference length and then the new length. Everything is done by specyfying values on real drawing - not by typing their displayed values (they depend on chosen display precision).
    In CS3 and in my described procedure calculations made by Illy are based on original dimensions - not displayed (.000). It was satisfying and analogous to CAD process or rather vector process.
    I'm not going to compare AutoCAD and Illustrator - I have to use them both .
    I don't think that option to make it accurate is the feature of CAD applications.
    I'm still looking for answer how to make described transformation easy and accurate.
    Described methods are not easy (as it can be) and accurate (as I want to be). But I'm very grateful for help.

  • Preview and printing scale problems

    Hi,  I couldn't find a forum for preview. iphoto was the nearest...
    basically I am just trying to print an image opened in preview to a fairly small size and no matter what I do it always seems to scale it to fit the A4 paper size. If I go to Tools - Adjust size -  and make it quite a small image, (5cms across for example) when I go to print it it still just blows it up as before, all blurry and pixely.  really I don't seem to have lots of options, I have, of course, deselected the scale-to-fit button. I have tried reducing the number in the % field.  but nothing...

    Note the Scale option in the Print Dialogue - Just below 'Auto-rotate'. It's set to 394%. What happens if you set it to 100%?

  • Updating image sources - scale problem.

    Hi everyone, found out that FC could do something incredible today - you can update the image source of any images in your project to update them.
    Sadly though, I can't seem to get it to scale the images down, despite the fact there's a 'scale: stretch' menu below it. Seriously, it doesn't matter if I've I've got the scale set to 'stretch' 'tiled' or 'none', whenever I replace, the image is GIGANTIC or tiny, and what I want is for Flash Catalyst to conserve the previous image dimensions and constrain or stretch the new image to those dimensions accordingly.  I would have thought 'stretch' would have done this, but it seems to do nothing?
    Is there a plug in or something? It'll save me a lot of time! Thanks (using 5.5 trial by the way)

    Flash Catalyst does not support plug ins. Before you invest too much time in learning Flash Catalyst, you should know that Adobe has annouced that it has stop development on this product. Via Flash Builder, you can set the maxWidth and maxHeight values on the image component.

  • Move and scale problem

    Since upgrading to the new iOS 7 I cannot move or scale my private photos for wallpaper?any help.

    It's a glitch.
    If you go in through the photos app, you can have a bit more functionality. The scaling may not work well but you can move to at least choose the part you see.
    About all folks can do is wait for it to be fixed or to find a different wallpaper to use.

  • Photoshop CS6 scale problem

    I'm an architect. I use Photoshop a lot to color plans I draw.
    I drew a site plan. I imported it into Autocad and overlaid it on the survey. The scale was a perfect match. I then placed the .jpg into Photoshop and colored it. It looked great. I placed it in Illustrator CS6 and labeled it up and printed it. It looks fantastic. I then laid the original sketch over the printed drawing and the image had enlarged slightly (the original image was about 22" wide and the printed image was about 23 1/8" wide.
    Thinking that I'd screwed up the scan, I re-scanned it, checked it in Autocad (it was fine), and placed it into Photoshop. It matched perfectly the previous scan beneath it. I checked the image size in Photoshop and Illustrator and they matched.
    Any ideas? I'm at a loss...
    Thanks in advance,
    Scott

    Did you double check print dialog settings there are setting in it that may scale images to the media. If you were printing on 24: wide paper the print area may be 23 1/8" and you print may have been scaled to fill the print area.
