Set idle voltage with measurement computing

I am working on a project that does valve control and when the program ends I want the valves to close, by setting the Analog output to a constant value. I am using a USB-3101FS currently. I saw a post on setting idle voltage with DAQmx channel properties, but I was not given the same options because I am using measurement computing devices. 
Edit: here is what I am curerntly working with. It is very early design

So a few things.  First your program runs, and it runs once and will be done after the last item finishes executing on the block diagram.  Turn on highlight execution to see it run (the little light bulb on the block diagram).  This is not how most programs go.  Generally a user wants to be able to interact with the UI and have it change values as they change them.  To do this you need your program to run in a loop until a condition is met to cause a it to close.  This is where our friend the while loop comes in.  The while loop can keep the program executing until a stop condition is seen.  The easy method is to create a button on the front panel, then wire it to the stop condition of the loop and now your program continues to run until you press stop.  After your loop is done executing is where you can have some closing steps to set your output to 0.

  • External clock LabView crash with Measurment Computing board.

    Hi,
    I'm using a Measurment Computing PCI-DAS6402-16 board with Labview (using Universal librarys VIs) in a 4-stroke engine DAQ application and amognst the signals obtain Internaly clocked, there is In-Cylinders Pressure signal which is timed with a Crank-angle deocoder sending analog pulse signal.
    Although there seems to be no problem while the motor is running, it appears that when to external clocked signal  is not getting any pulses (while the motor is not running) then Labview stops to respond and awaits for the external clock to start, and that doesnt happen within 10s then it crashes.
    I dont know whether it is Software problem (because external and internal clocked signals are both in the same WHILE LOOP) or if it is a Hardware problem (because With a NI card there seem to be no problems).
    THNX in Advance

    Well it couldnt be a more typcal windows crash:
    If a channel is externally timed with an analog pusle signal, If the VI starts running but the external clock isn't then:
    -Labview stops to respond to any clicks (there is no .exe at this point) but it keeps working though (That i know cause if i start the ext. clock at this point it "un-stucks' and starts working)
    -But, if for some secs no ext. pulse signal is generated then labnview app stops respondin and i get the typical 'send error report' window.
    Could it be that the Universal library for Measurment Computing boards haw a bug? Cause the same thing happens with the "Analog input External Clock.vi" example given with the Library..so it can't be my mistake..or can it?!

  • My ipad is telling me it is synced with another computer which is not possible.

    I was trying to sync my bookmarks between safari on my computer and my ipad. I plugged my ipad into my computer to check the settings in itunes. I then noticed that i had not set my books to be synced between itunes and my ipad. When i tried to sync them, i got the error that my ipad is synced with itunes on another computer and can only be synced to one computer.
    I dont understand why it would tell me this when i used this computer for my ipad. I setup my new ipad 3, i then plugged in my ipad 1 into my computer to make a backup. Then while going through the setup on my ipad 3 it gave me the option to recover from a backup on my computer. I chose that option and havent messed with my settings since. I might have plugged it into my other computer to charge, but i originally set it up with this computer, i never have touched anything on the other computer when ive plugged in my phone or ipads, and my phone does not encounter this issue, nor does my original ipad.
    Why is it telling me i need to have it synced to only one computer, when this is the only computer its ever been synced to? What can i do about this, i dont want to wipe my ipad and then recover from a back up again when this error shouldnt even be popping up in the first place.
    I have not done any drastic changes to my computer like reinstall the OS or recover from a backup. Im not even using a different user, i have no need to.
    Anyone have any idea what i should do? Is wiping my ipad and syncing it with the computer it was synced to before my only option?

    What exactly will this do? This wont reset my stuff will it? I have some stuff saved on my ipad that i believe wont get transfered over if i wipe my ipad. Please lemme know because im affraid to try this until i know its not gonna reset my ipad.
    @Demo, i plugged it in and itunes auto launched form the other computer, i think it was barely charging it or just holding it at the charge level the battery was at. I did this after i had gone through the setup steps where it asked if i wanted to recover from a backup. This is when i plugged it into a computer for the first time and i restored from a backup of my ipad one on this computer. The other computer was the one i plugged the new ipad into for a short period of time. Idk how auto sync works other than on my main itunes, my phone for example will auto sync videos i have. But i didnt really set anything up on my ipad. Also the original ipad was syncing to this computer as well.
    Thanks

  • How can I start using IPad without first syncing with my computer?

    I'm out of town and just bought a new IPad2.  I don't have my computer with me and won't be able to use it for another 2 weeks.  How can I start using my IPad before syncing with my computer? 

    You must activate it by syncing it to iTunes on a computer. An Apple Store can do it for you - or anybody with a computer that meets the minimum requirements and has iTunes 10.2 on it can activate it for you.
    If you have someone else activate it, bear in mind that when you do finally sync to your computer, iTunes is going to tell you that all content will be erased because you already set it up on another computer with another iTunes library. Your iPad will sync to one iTunes library only. That is way they are designed to perform.
    You CAN transfer any purchases that you make on the iPad to your iTunes library when you perform your first sync with your own computer, however, and I would strongly suggest that you do that when you get the chance.
    If you do set it up with another computer, I would keep the purchases and downloads to a minimum so that keeping all of your data is not a big problem when you finally sync to your own PC.

  • Measurement computing USB-QUAD08

    Hi,
    Does anyone out there have any experience with Measurement Computing USB-QUAD08 board? I normally stick with NI DAQ only, but I was looking for a USB DAQ with 8 timer/counter channels and that's the only one I could find.
    I'm trying to measure the period of a digital PWM signal. Specifically I want to capture 50-500 consecutive pulse periods into an array (measure period between falling edges) which are 100-10000us in duration.
    At any rate, the example from their website (attached) utilizes .net references, which I am not familiar with, does not seem to do what I need.
    If anyone out there has worked with this device and would like to modify the attached VI to accomplish what's needed, I would greatly appreciate your help.

  • Measurement Computing USB-SSR24 error 42 Digital Port not configured correctly for requested operation

    Using LV 2012 and ULx 2.02 LV driver:
    LV is throwing an error 42 (Digital Port not configured correctly for requested operation) from the ULx write VI but only on PortCH.  All my configurations are correct on the hardware and Instacal tests the ports OK.  I've reinstalled everything and still see the same issue.
    Since PortA is configured identical to PortCH, and PortA is functioning fine, I'm stumped.  This is occuring on two different SSR24 DAQs so I don't think it's the hardware, plus I've already mentioned that the Instacal isn't having a problem with it.
    I've attached my VI I'm using for debug.

    I worked with Measurement Computing and they agreed that there is a bug with certain DI/DO configurations.  There are a possible 16 different DI/DO configurations with the hardware and apparently mine (PortA - DO, PortB- DI, PortCL-DI, and PortCH-DO will throw this error for PortCH.  I'm currently using .net calls to work around the issue until the ULx driver is updated.  I'll post that when I see it.  Attached are the .net VI's that I'm using for simple static IO.

  • HT204053 My wife and I each have an apple computer and an iPhone.  Setting them up with the iCloud put us on the same account.  I take a lot of photos on job sites and she takes her own photos we have to scan though each others photos to find our own.  Ho

    My wife and I each have an apple computer and an iPhone.  Setting them up with the iCloud put us on the same account.  I take a lot of photos on job sites and she takes her own photos we have to scan though each others photos to find our own.  How do I separate the accounts without one of us losing our own stuff?

    Decide which device will be changing accounts.  On that device, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll that you want to keep on the device, save them to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iDevice.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to delete any data that you don't want in each account (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa) you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it.

  • Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

    Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home.  Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

    In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
    You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
    Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
    Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
    For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
    Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached.  Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

  • I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    It's in your Keychain on the computer you usually use to connect to your network - the "kind" will be "AirPort Network Password".
    Your Keychain can be opened by using the Keychain Access program. It is in your Utilities Folder.
    Open Keychain Access, and type airport in the search field. You will see a number of entries. Choose the one with the name of your wireless network, open it, and check the box next to "show password". Before it reveals itself you will be asked for your login password - the one you use to log in to your MacBook.
    The network password will appear in the box.
    Quit Keychain Access.

  • I want to add new songs to my ipod.  When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have.  Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it.  Help!!!

    I want to add new songs to my ipod.  When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have.  Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it.  Help!!!  Is there any way around this?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

  • HT4113 My Ipad has never been synced with a computer or via itunes on a computer only set up by my apple id, when it asked to connect to itunes i turned it off, when turning it on again it asked me for a passcode. I never set up a pascode, now I am locked

    I have just bought a new IPAD. It has never been synced with a computer or via itunes on a computer, I tried to set it up using my APPLE ID and mobile number, it prompted me to connect to ITUNES. Unsure of what to do next, I closed it and took it to work. When I opened it one hour later it prompted me for the passcode. I never set up a passcode. I tried various combinations (my husband iphone, birthdates, kids passcodes etc) to see if somehow it had linked itself to their passcode. I called the shop I bought it from and was advised it would cost me 70 dollars to have it reset. I feel completely devastated that I haven't even been able to use the IPAD and I am already stuck. Can anyone offer some solid advice?

    Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Measurement Computing USB-DIO96H driver issue with Labview 2012 SP1 on Windows 7 x64

    Is anyone else having issues with measuremetn Computing's USB-DIO96H driver in Labview 2012 SP1. It throws warnings in Labview when loaded that are unresolvable as you can't save to the DLL driver file. Also it regularily crashes Labview randomly. I am not impressed with their driver. Anyone have any suggestion other than replacing with NI-DAQ solution, which I am working on?

    I've taken a look and I don't see any drivers available for that device on ni.com. There are two potential workarounds that would both involve building your own driver:
    1. Write a LabVIEW application that calls functions on the DLL you downloaded from Measurements Group
    2. Write a LabVIEW application that addresses the device using NI-VISA and serial communication.
    Some resources if you choose to go down that path:

  • How to set up Bluetooth with iPhone and computer

    Hi there.
    I am now the proud owner of a brand new iPhone 3GS 32GB and I'm in love...
    I'm trying to set it up with Bluetooth. I used to be able to "Bluetooth" files to and from my computer with other mobile devices but I have difficulties with the iPhone. It won't connect. Anybody knows what I need to do? Cheers.

    The iPhone _does not_ support Bluetooth file transfer. You must use the USB cable for syncing, or there are file transfer/storage apps in the App Store (Files, File Magnet, Air Sharing, there are lots) that use Wi-Fi.
    On the iPhone, Bluetooth is limited to voice calls, music streaming to stereo headphones, and tethering (using the phone as a cellular modem). Tethering requires carrier support - O2 and Orange support it, Tesco does not.
