Setting up DAQ system for testing (using pressure transducer, linear position sensor and strain gauges)

Hello,
I like to get your suggestion in setting up the DAQ system. I am very beginner in this issue.
These SCXI listed below are what we have in the laboratory. I will use DAQ card 6062E.
SCXI 1000
SCXI 1520
SCXI 1140
SCXI 1142
SCXI 1305 , 1302 , 1300
SCXI 1122
SCXI 1100
I will use linear position sensor in my experiment. But I'm not sure which SCXI shoud I connect to this sensor.
This sensor gives 4-20mA output. it requires +13 to +28Vdc excitation.
I will use pressure transducer (strain gauge type) which gives 100mV output and requires 10Vdc supply.
I will use strain gauges 350 ohm.
Regarding to the number of channels used in my experiment, I will use 1 channel of pressure transducer, 1 channel of linear position sensor and 3 or 4 strain gauges.
Could you please suggest me which SCXI should be used with pressure transducer, linear position sensor and strain gauges.
Now I'm thinking to use SCXI 1520 with strain gauges and pressure transducer. Is that ok?
But I'm not so sure on the linear position sensor which gives current output.
And regarding to sampling rate, I like to get minimum of 60-70 KS/s for pressure transducer. And around 1KS/s for linear position sensor and 1KS/s for each channel of strain gauge are enough. Can I archieve these sampling rate from the available SCXI modules mentioned before? I attached the datasheet of pressure transducer and linear position sensor for you. Please see attached files.
I'm reallly look forward for your suggestion.
Thank you in advance,
Ganchai.

Hi Ganchai,
I would recommend the 1520 with a 1314 terminal block for connecting your pressure transducer and strain gauge. It is designed for excitation, bridge completion and has many other features to fit these applications. For your linear position sensor, try using the 1100 module with an additional precision shunt resistor. For example, our 1308 terminal block has built in 249Ohm shunt resistors for taking current inputs for your 1100. These connections should give you the readings you would like.
As far as sampling rate goes, you should be fine with your requirements. Good luck and I hope you are succesful.

I work in a public library and we have two ipod touch and two ipod nanos we would like to circulate for our patrons. Any advice on how we can do this? Should we allow patrons to set the device up for personal use or download static content?

With the Nanos, you should have no problem lending them loaded with audiobooks from Librivox, etc.
As for the iPod Touches, I'm not sure the question is whether you should allow patrons to set up the device for personal accounts, but whether you can prevent them from doing so. Prepare to to a factory restore every time one is returned.

Please help me with my electrical engineering homework : temperature control and watering system for greenhouse using labview and arduino

temperature control and watering system for greenhouse using labview and arduino
spesification :
1. max temp : 28 celcius (when temperature is more than 28 celcius, fan ON)
2. min temp : 20 celcius (when temperature is under 20 celcius, heater ON)
3. watering system : aquaponic (grow plant and fish in separate tank but connect each other). Plant roots help filter water for fish. Fish poop for plants fertilizer. So I need a pump to distribute water.

Hello,
That means it can find the Hard Drive, or can't find the things needed for booting.
See if DU even sees it.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

What steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

What Steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

When you open a raw file it will open in Adobe camera raw. That is where you can do most of the editing. Then it will be placed inside Photoshop where you can do more if needed.
Now you can use the save for web dialog to export your image as a png or jpg to use on those sites.

Is it possible to buy "cheap" DAQ equipment for personal use?

Hi guys!
I'm a huge fan of LabVIEW and I use it every day at work These days I've bought a house for me and my girlfriend. As we're currently renovation the house I got this crazy idea; why not make my own "smarthouse"??. I have LabVIEW at work so I could easily develop a small program for controling dimming of light, music on/off, and maybe some other cool stuff. (I'm already trying to build a LEGO robot to get beer from my fridge )
But I can't do much without a DAQ device. I have looked into K12Labs and I found it quite facinating! After some research I found that myDAQ is only for students and educators in USA/Canada. Well, I live in Norway and I'm not longer a student either
So I wonder:
- Is it possible to buy Used/Demo versions of DAQ devices?
- Are there any DAQ devices which are similar to the myDAQ?
- What would you recommend for personal/hobby use?
The DAQ will only be used for controlling Relays and other small electrric cicuits, and maybe som small measurements. No need for high samplings rate and real-time measurement! My budget is quite low. Maybe around 2000 NOK, which is around 300 Dollar.
Thanks for any input in advance!

I have some ideas. First I have 4 daq516 card (PCMCIA) I do not use any more. I could send you one. free if you want. They require nidaq 6.90. But I have run them on up to Labview 8.6 using XP. I think you have to use XP on this daq driver. I do not have the cabling or the connector block any more. So you must purchase these items if you still can in order to use the cards.
The second solution is to purchase a cheap micro-controller development system. Then use C to program the micro-controller and serial communication. This may work well for non high speeds apps. I use that approach my self. A modern micro-controller have a lot of 10 bits AD inputs. This will set you back about 500 Kr, plus a USB to serial converter if you do not have such device
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

How do I set up an emulator for testing my application?

I'm starting to wade into GPIB and cannot seem to find the best way to continue given all the components (not meaning ActiveX) required to assemble a semi-reliable development and testing environment for beta rollouts.
I have set up my design environment. Now I need a way to emulate some of the equipment I will be developing for so that I may test my apps before final testing on the actual equipment (which I obviously have no access to at this point).
Given that.. am I correct in understanding that LabView or IVI allows this type of functionality? If so, here are my specific questions regarding development:
1) Do I currently need any hardware or can the GPIB device list be populated from IVI/LabView emula
tors? In other words... how do I make the 'link' between these two technologies?
2) Can IVI/LabView run on the same machine as my test application, or is a secondary machine required?
3) Is there a general punch list of software (LabView, etc.) I might need in order to get this going?
4) Any general (or specific) overviews that may help me get over this hump would be greatly appreciated.

Whether or not you are able to simulate your hardware will depend on what method you are using to program it. If you are programming the instrumentation directly using the GPIB ActiveX control or GPIB calls directly you will not have the ability to do simulate in software. If you are using an instrument driver, however, you will be able to do simulation if the instrument driver is IVI compliant.
Assuming that you are using an IVI-compliant instrument driver, here are the answers to your questions:
1. You do not need any hardware whatsoever. You can either specify to use simulation in your code by using the InitWithOptions functionality and specifying "SIMULATE=TRUE" in the option string parameter. You can also set things up externally so that you can alter simulation strictly through the IVI configuration so that your code doesn't have to change.
2. It will run on the same machine as your code. As far as your application is concerned, it will not appear any differently however no GPIB communication will occur.
3. IVI compliant instrument drivers for all of the GPIB hardware you are using. These are available for download from ni.com.
4. I think that there may be some IVI-related application notes.
Assuming that you are not using an IVI-compliant instrument driver and instead are either using a non-IVI instrument driver or making GPIB calls directly, things can get a little more elaborate. If you want full emulation capability you'll need to write another piece of software that emulates your device. This can be done in LabVIEW or any other ADE of your choice. What you'll need is a second GPIB card (to act as your device) that you'll cable to from your main computer. That card can live in a second machine or in the same one as your main application. You may want to put it in a separate test machine just to keep things a little cleaner.
If you go with this approach, it's not too difficult to write an emulator for a single device (or at least that functionality of a device that you use) per GPIB card. It will be more difficult to write an emulator that emulates multiple devices using a single GPIB card. In other words, you may want to use a separate GPIB card for each instrument you want to emulate. I wrote such an emulator some time ago but can't seem to find it. In any case, it's probably only a couple of days effort.
To make a long story short, your life will be a lot easier if you have IVI-compliant instrument drivers available for the hardware that you are using.

Set up a system that can use iPad

What does it take to set up a system? I cant seem to to find a how to for enterprise ipad use. I want an ipad that has nothing but an RDP connection that i control.

You could via the Restrictions lock out the use of the Mail and Safari apps, and turn off the ability to install other apps. That's all you can do, though; you could not lock out all the other apps other than your RDP app. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
As to wiping remotely, you could do that via the Find My iPad service, but that's not hard to defeat. A third-party management system such as Casper from JAMF Software might offer more capabilities for both wiping and configuration.

How to set up approval process for test case in SAP solution manager?

Hi Experts,
We need to setup a 2 level approval process for test case documents in SAP Solution Manager.
e.g. If test case document is uploaded for transaction "MM01" then first it will go to Reviewer1. Once Reviewer1 approves it , should go to Reviewer2.
Adn finally once reviewer2 approves it , it will be complete.
What are the required configurations and steps for approval process setup? It will be helpful if screenshots and detailed steps are provided.
Thanks.

            Select Case sCondition
                Case "Deviation from Credit Limit"
                    Return (ApprovalTemplateConditionTypeEnum.atctDeviationFromCreditLine)
                Case "Deviation from Commitment"
                    Return (ApprovalTemplateConditionTypeEnum.atctDeviationFromObligo)

                    Return (ApprovalTemplateConditionTypeEnum.atctGrossProfitPercent)
                Case "Discount %"
                    Return (ApprovalTemplateConditionTypeEnum.atctDiscountPercent)
                Case "Deviation from Budget"
                    Return (ApprovalTemplateConditionTypeEnum.atctDeviationFromBudget)
                Case "Total Document"
                    Return (ApprovalTemplateConditionTypeEnum.atctTotalDocument)
            End Select
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message())
        End Try

How do I set up a set of 8 iPads for school use?

I am setting up 8 iPads for a school using a Macbook to manage them. I have been advised that the bet way to do this is to use Configurator for settings etc and iTunes for managing apps. Could anyone provide a walkthrough guide as to how to use these two programs together successfully. Can it be done or am I better to stick to iTunes only? I am happy for the same content to be replicated on each iPad.
Many thanks to anyone who can provide a solution.

Set of Mobile Devices for Testing

hello
i search a good Set of "Main-Devices & OS" for testing HTML sites? (for Download)
instate of install random Devices manually with no clue how important this Device is?!
thanks for any advise

Does that include all apps on your account or per individual app? In other words, we have a standard app that has been developed over a year ago that was tested, we now have the additional Newsstand app. Is that 100 devices total for both apps?
Thats for getting back to me so quickly.

Is it better to export an iMovie project as QT and use Toast to burn a DVD for general use or to export to iDVD and burn VD from there? Why?

Is it better to export an iMovie project as QT and use Toast to burn a DVD for general use - or to export iMovie project to iDVD and burn DVD from there? Why?

Toast probably maintains better quality if you are just doing simple conversion direct from your camera straight into Toast and then to DVD. There's a lot less transcoding steps and loss of quality in that direct to DVD disk creation in Toast. However, having said that,...There's good arguments probably for both.
What I've seen promoted most often (as most people don't have Toast or aren't motivated to buy it) is to Share to Media Browser (choose the Large size option) and then from inside iDVD click the Media Button and the Movies button to find the project under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser window. Drag that project into your iDVD project and burn the disk.

Automation using IP cameras, temperature, motion sensor and smoke sensor Using TCP/IP

Hello people,
My name is andy.
I have right know a project that i must automation a building using TCP/IP.
This building must have IP cameras, temperature, motion sensor and smoke sensor using the TCP/IP with a Sever.
My question is ?
what is IP cameras support Labview ?
and what VI i must Use??????
if any person have experience in this area for me is helpful to help me for some idea's.
please write me
thank you

Hi koeyers,
Are your cameras Gigabit Ethernet? If they are, we have some interfaces that you can use as frame grabbers.
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/es/nid/203245
And you can use our image acquisition driver, NI-IMAQdx, you can download our driver for a 30 days free trial.
http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/960/lang/es
NI-IMAQdx installs LabVIEW VI’s that calls the NI-IMAQdx driver to control you camera, example files are install with the driver too!
If you are not using Gigabit Ethernet, you will need to use the driver that ships with the camera. Do you have the data sheet of the camera you are using? Or are you starting to look for cameras?
If you are looking for cameras this is a good link that will help you find cameras that are supported by our drivers:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/nipc.specs?action=search&asid=1102
Some IP cameras (not Gibabit Ethernet) have ActiveX calls to control them, and LabVIEW can make those ActiveX calls, you just need to have the documentation of those calls that must come with the camera. Other cameras might have DLL’s and you’ll have to make calls to those DLL’s from LabVIEW.
They are more difficult to program that Gigabit Ethernet because they are not a standard, and National Instruments doesn’t have a specific driver for them, but we can make calls to the specific driver of the camera.
Later, if you want to process the images, then you will be interested in NI Vision:
http://www.ni.com/vision/vdm.htm
Please let me know if this helps you or you need more information.
