Serial lectura

Hola, estoy enviando un codigo a un microprocesador por medio de un puerto serial virtual y posteriormente leyendo el dato con el que este me responde, pero tengo el problema que el dato leido siempre lo finaliza con el dato que envie inicialmente, alguien sabe como corregir este error ? muchas gracias de antemano.
¡Resuelto!

Mira quisiera saber como solucionaste tu problema, creo q a mi me pasa la mismo. Pues mira estoy en un caso similar, desde labview mando un dato a un microcontrolador (como peticion de datos),  este a su vez me responde con varios datos mas o menos unos 11, pero el problema que tengo es q no se sincroniza es decir no recibe los datos ordenadamente por lo q el sistema tiene q volver a pedir datos al micro, no se si es problema de retardos en la lectura, espero que me puedas ayudar ya que eso me tiene horas y no logro solucionar.

  • IPod Nano (2G) - any way to track serial number?

    I know this has been asked in a few different ways but here is my take...
    My son's iPod nano is missing. We think we know who stole it but I cannot locate my receipt or the case it came in so I cannot locate the serial number. As with all Apple items I have purchased, I did register it with Apple and have all of the apple accounts, etc... Is there a location in iTunes or through Apple where iPods registered to me are listed? I have been searching and searching to no avail. I gotta find this serial number.
    Before anyone lectures me... I know, I know... keep track of your stuff. There are some extenuating circumstances here... Just looking for some HELP !

    There is a [email protected] email address I found that you could ask them if they could send you the serials. Although, being a not-secure method, I doubt they would just send them out. But it might get a dialog started by which you can get the information. Maybe if you sent them the other serial numbers to compare against, they could send you the one you are missing.
    Good luck. I googled finding registered products and it looks like there used to be a way via the Apple website, but it is no longer possible.

  • Lost Serial number. Can I get new one through buying new product?

    Hi, I'm new to the forums, but not to the products. Been using them over 5 or so years I think. Anyhow, I have an issue that I cannot solve very easily and am kind of stuck.
    I bought (well, had my University buy for me.) CS4 Master collection 3-4 years ago for my studies in Animation at University. It was payed for through Uni due to me having a disability. Anyhow. I had it installed through a different company who help out with software needed for disabled people, and so I had no issues with starting it up.
      The trouble is it was installed on a laptop, which at the time I needed due to me having to dart around campus for various lectures etc. I needed portability. Now however, I have graduated with a decent degree, unemployed for a year and my laptop is slowly dying on me. It's slowing down, crashing every so often when photoshop/ toonboom is on, just a pain to deal with.
      I was trying to install the CS4 on my brand new PC but the serial number is gone. I have no idea where it is, or what happened to it. The only people who MIGHT know what it is are the company who installed it but despite having sent them an email asking for it, I have received nothing.
    I was considering buying an upgrade, in fact the CS4 is that student and teacher version, so I thought I aught to get a standard type. Trouble is I heard that I need the original serial number from my CS4 even if I do get a new one.
    Is that true? If I buy a new one will it come with a new serial number so I can start afresh? The issues with my old laptop are just getting annoying and I have since bought a new Mac book to replace it.
    Any help would be great.
    Thank you for your time.

    Yeah, I came across an issue with the answer given, as the serial number was wrong AND missing 4 numbers. However I did come a cross an old file on my old laptop with CS4. When I first got the CS4 there was an issue with the serial number not working so we contacted adobe to see if it could be fixed and I guess it was eventually resolved.
    Anyhow, I used the serial number I found through PECoutejoie's suggestion, but it didn't work. So, I tried out the old 'broken' serial number, expecting it to be rejected as well and... it worked! Colour me surprised!
    Thank you for the suggestion anyway, PE.

  • Probleme lecture donnees analyseur de spectre Hameg

    Bonjour à tous,
    Je suis actuellement en BTS IRIST et mon projet de seconde année concerne LabView.
    Mon but est de contrôler un analyseur de spectre ansi q'un système muni d'un automate, le tout à distance.
    Pour la partie Analyseur, j'utilise une liaison USB, j'ai commencer à programmer en envoyant des ordres à l'analyseur jusque là ça marche.
    Mais quand je veux lire une valeur, ça ne marche pas. Je vous joint mon programme ainsi que les sous-VI.
    Je ne vois pas l'erreur dans la partie lecture mais on ne sait jamais.
    Si vous avez des améliorations à proposer n'hésitez pas car je suis novice dans cet environnement de programmation.
    Merci d'avance !

    Hameg programme.zip ‏102 KB

    Quelques remarques en vrac.
    Temporisation de la boucle While ? Il est toujours dangereux d'un point de vue charge CPU de ne pas cadencer une boucle.
    Caractère de terminaison sur la liaison série ? Le caractère de terminaison est paramétré lors de l'ouverture de session VISA (\n par défaut, activé). Ceci permet à la fonction Read de s'arrêter lors de la réception de ce caractère de terminaison (Cf. VISA Configure Serial Port VI » termination char)
    Pas d'acquittement des commandes envoyées ? Il est courant lors de l'envoi d'une commande d'avoir un acquittement de la part de l'instrument, permettant de valider que la commande a été prise en compte. Je ne vois pas de relecture dans le code - à moins que ce ne soit dans Error Query.vi (VI d'un autre driver Hameg?)

  • Generate and read serial numbers...

    Hi all
    I'm trying to produce a system where we lock a projector's
    usage down to an individual. I'm intending to use the individual's
    email address, combined with their hard disk serial number and
    encoded to produce a serial number which can be quickly checked at
    run time. The serial number would be generated at our end
    (possibly) and emailed to the user.
    Has anyone got any hints on how to do this easily, before I
    get bogged down in trying to create my own algorithms and such?
    I would be happy to use a 3rd party extra...
    Thanks

    Creo que el problema es que no tienes sincronización entre la transmisión y la lectura: podrías modificar el código para parar la lectura en el retorno de carro, algo así:

  • Lectura puerto serie Xbee

    Saludos,
    Deseo elaborar una interface en labview que me muestre los valores de dos sensores analógicos conectados cada uno a módulos Xbee independientes. Encontre una publicación referente a una libreria en Labview para trabajar con modulos Xbee serie 2 en modo API, de esta publicación estracte la parte de lectura de tramas API de los Xbee que esta basada en una estructura productor consumidor. Despues de probar y consultar varias fuentes logre crear una interface que funciona de forma parcial, el problema radica en que la interface solo me muestra la información proveniente de un módulo Xbee y  la informacion del segundo módulo Xbee se pierde, si apago el módulo del cual estaba recibiendo información enpiezo a recibir la información del módulo que queda encendido.
    Adjunto el proyecto como lo he depuerado hasta la fecha para que me colaboren con una revisión que me ayude a resolver mis inconvenientes.
    nota: para ejecutar la interface se debe abrir el proyecto y abrir el VI principal prueba2403

    Labview.zip ‏59 KB

    Respecto a tu  afirmación, no estás equivocado, utilizo una interfaz XBee-USB para la recepción de información en la computadora. En esta tarjeta está montado un módulo XBee configurado como coordinador zigbee en modo API, este coordinador recibe  información de dos módulos configurados como dispositivos finales que tienen conectados cada uno un sensor analógico y leds que hacen la vez de encendido u apagado de un actuadores.
    ¿Es posible que esté recibiendo datos de ambos sensores pensando que es solo uno?
    Este es mi dilema!, LabView recibe información de ambos módulos  e interpreta los datos de los sensores conectados a ellos  cuando esta encendido cualquiera de los módulos, si enciendo los dos al tiempo muestra información de ambos al inicio pero luego solo muestra la información proveniente de un módulo.
    ¿Cómo identifico de dónde viene el dato del sensor?
    Cada módulo XBee trae una dirección de 64bits que viene de fábrica similar a la MAC de una tarjeta de red para PC, en mi caso utilizo una parte de esta dirección para identificar de donde proviene la información de cada sensor, el VI que hace esto se llama selección módulos, este VI usa una estructura case para verificar la dirección de procedencia de la trama, y dependiendo de la dirección hace una conversión de Hex a decimal y calcula valores de temperatura o nivel.
    El inconveniente que se presenta no radica en identificar de donde proviene a información,  ya que el programa si lo hace. A mi parecer el problema se presenta en el VI lector de tramas, este VI lee la información del puerto serial y la almacena en un queue que luego se pasa como referencia a un proceso paralelo donde se verifica si la información recibida corresponde a una trama API y si es así,  este proceso genera un cluster que contiene la trama y la almacena en un queue. Es aquí donde pienso que se presenta la perdida de información, no se si por sobre flujo (el muestreo de los sensores se realiza cada 500ms) o talvez por una mala configuración del puerto serial.
    Para que tengan más claridad al respecto, adjunto la publicación en PDF de donde tome esta forma de leer las tramas.

    HOLA QUE MAS ,

    AGRADECERIA SU COLABORACION EN ESTE ASPECTO............ 

    Hola,
        Me imagino que tienes algún problema en tu código. Si lo adjuntas será más fácil ayudarte.
        Algunas otras cosas que podrías revisar:
    La cajita que recibe los datos tiene una opción de terminaton char, deshabilitalo si no lo estas usando, ya que no te interesa que un valor de voltaje 0x13 sea confundido con un carácter de terminación y te de un comportamiento inesperado.
    Si tienes etapas de alto consumo de potencia (como motores eléctricos) trata de separar la alimentación análogica de tu parte digital, y utiliza un condensador cerámico de 0,1uF lo más cercano a la alimentación de tu micro.
    Mantener un pin intermitente, te permite visualizar a través de un led que tu micro no se ha colgado, y en labview tambien pudieses hacer lo mismo.

  • Projeto - Reconhecimento de Voz e Comunicação Serial

    Olá, estou desenvolvendo um projeto no qual devo reconhecer comandos de voz e enviar posteriormente informações através de comunicação serial.
    A idéia do projeto é a seguinte :
    - Reconhecer comandos de voz como "POSIÇÃO 1, POSIÇÃO 2"
    - Para cada comando reconhecido, uma mensagem deve ser enviada via comunicação serial.
    No entanto, não venho conseguindo reconhecer comandos de voz através de alguns VI's fornecidos pela NI, então venho pedir ajuda para procurar um caminho para começar a construir tal projeto.
    Grato desde já.
    Gilberto Neto
    Estudante de Tecnologia em Mecatrônica Industrial
    Faculdade de Tecnologia Termomecanica

    Olá, achei bem interessante este projeto, porém tenho algumas perguntas:
    Existe alguma especificação quanto ao Hardware para capturar o sinal?
    Quando você diz: "Reconhecer comandos de voz como "POSIÇÃO 1, POSIÇÃO 2", você está se referindo que o conteúdo da mensagem falada é "POSIÇÃO 1,POSIÇÃO 2" ou que isso é uma mera identificação para uma mensagem diferente?
    Capturar o sinal emitido pela voz é relativamente fácil,porém a identificação e interpretação desse sinal que é algo mais complexo (Relativo a segunda pergunta que eu fiz). Com as VI's da paleta (Sound), você irá apenas coletar esse sinal, porém a análise heurística para interpretação fica a cabo do desenvolvedor. Felizmente, existem algumas Library como o SAPI e outras para abreviar este processo.
    Sobre a serialização deste sinal, você será basicamente "obrigado" a trabalhar com filas de tamanho fixo , pois os dados devem ser armazenados em sequência e serem despachados em blocos ANTES de serem repassados as funções VISA. Uma dica é repassar essa informação utilizando dados do tipo Digital (0,1) em vetores bidimensionais para assegurar que a mensagem seja serializada completamente (sem perder nenhum bit pelo caminho)
    Você irá precisar de 3 Loops: Um para a captura dos dados, um para interpretação e arranjo e outro para envio das informações. Pesquise sobre a arquitetura QMH ou P/C. Não é necessário usar nada mais complexo neste quesito
    Espero que eu tenha ajudado

    How are you supposed to get help from Apple if you don't know what your serial number is?  They say to input the serial number of the "product" that you are asking about.  Since my problem is how to deauthorize/authorize computers, and they are saying I have more than 5 (which I have never owned more than 5 computers in my life), I can't imagine what serial number they mean.  Does it mean your desktop computer?  If so, which one?  Do they mean your device?  LIke your iPhone, iPod or whatever?  Do they mean the software ON one of your computers and/or devices?  If so, which program, and on which computer/device?
    We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it.  Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers.  See what I mean?  I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not.  I only know of 2 computers that have iTunes on them, so how can there be 5?  We also have 2 iPhones and 2 iPods in this family, but one of the iPhones has his own apple id.  He may have been using mine, since his computer died.  I read that those don't count as "computers" to the 5.  Do they, then?
    Help!  I can't contact apple because I have no idea what they mean about serial number.  I doubt they would help me anyway.  In order to get the serial number off my desktop computer (that has iTunes on it already), I will have to move furniture, so I don't want to if that's not it.  Is there some way to find the serial number in the software, either on my desktop or my iPhone?

    You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.
