Setting up windows for streaming

I am looking for information on how to optimize windows for a streaming application
I am working in a DAQ application where I need to acquire 4 channels with 12 bits resolution at 10 MS/s during at least 40 seconds. I'm using a PXI system with a PXI-1044 chassis, a PXI-6115 DAQ board and a PXI-8105 controller running Windows. I am using LabVIEW 8.2
As expected, I am having some problems to maintain the acquisition going for 40 seconds consistently (sometimes I get to 40 seconds, sometimes it crashes before). Among other things I suspect Windows has something to do with this (I am also conscious that with a 80MB/s throughput I am pushing PXI bandwidth to the limit, but I cannot change this). Therefore I have stopped the antivirus and all programs that I can see in the task bar, but I would like to know if I can do anything else with Windows
Thanks and... happy new year !  ;-)
PS. I haven't got into detail with the acquisition technique used in the LabVIEW program in order to focus the thread in a single theme, but if anyone's interested I'd be glad to discuss it. I am using DAQmx and queues, and planning to play with software pipelining to see if I can get any advantage of the 8105's double core

Sorry for taking so long but I was out of the office. Here goes the complete code in the attached ZIP file.
The Main.vi is the top level as expected. There is also a version that tries to use pipelining (Main Piped) as my controller is a multicore processor, but I don't see any improvements
Here goes a brief description of the application first, then the problems I am experiencing
The goal... is to acquire four channels at 10 MS/s during 40s, processed them (the "algorithm.vi" which defines the processing is included, but this is not relevant now) and store the results to disk. The specifications oblige to process data as it is acquired, so post-processing is not permitted.
The solution... Once the DAQ card is configured and the acquisition is "triggered", five modules run in parallel: one to control the acquisition time, one to acquire the data from the PXI 6115 into memory, one to process it, one to store it in a file, and one to monitor the queues. The three modules in the middle communicate through two queues: one to pass data from the acquisition to the processing, and another to do the same between processing and storing to file. A third queue is used to stop the acquisition
The problems... I am not capable of running a 40s acquisition without an error :-o I succeed to do it with only one channel, but the system feels already quite in the limit (actually, if I try to get it longer it crashes around 43s). Of course if I increase to 4 channels I don't even get to 10s (the problem is different though, LabVIEW says it doesn't have enough memory to complete the operation. I think this might be because the acquisition queue gets too big, as the processing throughput is much slower than the processing
thanks

    Please help. Is there a way to set up home share with only an iPad? I do not have a computer.

    Hello dartal,
    Indeed, a new library can be created on your Mac. In order to create a new library and to switch between the libraries, hold the Option key on your keyboard while you open iTunes.

  • Setting Floating Windows for Apps Such As Safari or DVD Player.

    Is there a way to have a window in Safari, DVD Player or any other application be floating above other app windows? By this I mean I wish to have a window of Youtube, Netflix or a DVD Player movie float above all other windows while I work in other applications such as Word, Logic or Ableton Live.
    It would be great if I could watch a movie or youtube video without the window going behind my other windows whilst I work. Right now I have to just resize multiple windows to view the media but that eliminates valuable screen real estate in my work applications.
    Is there a hot key/shortcut to a window to make it float? A System Preference? Help me out friends.

    I believe afloat does just what you want

  • 360PE / 730T pen drivers - Windows for Pen Computing 1.0 ?

    I've got a pair of old 360PE's and a 730T that I am trying to get running with their original operating systems. We've been able to get most things working running Windows 3.1 but don't have a copy of Windows for Pen Computing 1.0 to install.  Does anyone know of a source or have a set of Windows for Pen Computing 1.0 floppies that they would be interested to sell or share. Also I am wondering if there is a Wacom driver for Win 3.1 that I could install which would let the stylus act as a mouse within applications.  
    Thanks for any help!

    I recently had a similar problem after upgrading from Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate. The pen only worked on some screens and not others, the finger touch didn't work at all and the calibration was stuck.
    I upgraded all the drivers listed at the HP site but this didn't solve the problem.
    My solution was to go into the device manager and to upgrade the individual drivers under 'Human Interface Devices'  for wacom and to upgrade each one individually to the latest version. The new drivers have installed 'Wacom USB Pen' and 'Wacom USB Touch'. There is a now new calibration facility and the pen and touchscreen works fine :-)

    A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
    But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
    If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
    Important thing is to get access to the TC.
    The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

  • How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??

    How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

    You can't one way or the other. Serial numbers are platform specific and platform swaps only apply to current  versions, meaning you have to upgrade to CS6 and make the switch.

  • How to hide PNP selection windows and set default values for PNP.

    Hi expert,
         I am using HR logical database PNP, but I don't want to display selection windoes for running program on PNP, whereas I want to set default value for some selection items in the program. could you please tell me how to get those two targets?
    Many Thanks,

    Hi
    You have mentioned 2 things.
    1. Don't want selection windows for running program for PNP - this can be achieved using the HR Report category - You can get more details on HR Report Category on
    HR Report Category
    2.  I want to set default value for some selection items - This you need to achieve in initialization event of your program.
    How you can get this can be explained by INITIALIZATION (SAP Library - ABAP Programming (BC-ABA))

  • For printer LaserJet Profession​al CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC

    Dear All
    for printer  LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC?please help?

    What Windows OS are you using?  Are you networked?
    If you are networked, you have to setup your file and print sharing options in order to require password assess.  If you are just trying to control specific files from being printed, you can do that, too.
    If you are just trying to control the amount of printing off of a single PC with a printer, you could setup different accounts for each user and limit their access. 
    Some of the commercial printers can have password options, but I do not find any password options for the CM 1410, other than what I provided earlier.
    If I have been helpful, a Kudo is always appreciated.

  • Can I set folder window appearance for a DVD-ROM I'm creating?

    Hi!
    I'm making a DVD-ROM project that my organizaion is going to have duplicated. I'd like the main folder window to have the same appearance (always open in icon view, have a specific background image, sort-by-name, etc.). Is there a way to set this so it will be stored with the folders? Would this have something to do with the .DS_Store file?
    A NOTE: This is gong to be a PC+Mac disc, so the file system won't be HFS+. It's a DVD-ROM of an audio series using a web-based interface. I am running Snow Leopard on my desktop and Lion on my laptop. Not sure if any of these details help.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Firefox on Windows is now following display scaling options which may render text larger on high resolution displays.
    You can adjust your screen resolution.
    To modify it do the following:
    * Type '''about:config''' into the Firefox address bar and tap on the Enter key.
    * If the warning '''This might void your warranty''' appears, click '''I'll be careful, I promise'''.
    * Search for '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''
    [[Image:Fx22layout.css.devPixelsPerPx]]
    * Double-click on layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to modify its value. The default is -1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to '''1.0''' to make it work like in previous Firefox versions.
    If necessary, further adjust the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps. Use values between 1.0 and about 0.5 to reduce elements in size. Use values greater than 1.0 to increase size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase font size to 125% to accommodate the default DPI setting in Windows 8. '''Double check the value that you enter.''' Setting a too small value will make everything disappear and a too large value will blow things up.
    If web pages still need to be adjusted then you can look at the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint] extension.
    To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ Theme Font & Size Changer] extension.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Help setting up windows auth for lighttpd/ldap etc

    I'm running a server on my office that I only have accessible to people in our workgroup. I'd like to set it up to authenticate into our windows domain for ease of password management. I havent been able to get ldap working..and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction? most of the how-tos I find online are for setting up ldap for user account authentication. I dont need the users to be able to log into the box at all..just webserver.
    my company uses secure ldap and I have the needed certificates, though I cant seem to get basic ldap queries working so I must be setting something up wrong. I'm open to using other authentication methods than ldap as I just need to auth into lighttpd.
    Here's basically what I want to do:
    Specify a list of users that are allowed to access the page.
    If the users are in the allowed list, query the windows domain controller to validate their username/password.
    thats it. nothing really fancy or complex. is ldap the best way to do this or kerberos, etc..? I would even be willing to switch to apache if that would simplify things.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • 1 set of speakers for tv and streaming

    I was going to buy an AppleTV and connect a set of external speakers to my tv, so any devices connected to the tv will use those speakers, but what if I want to stream audio from an ipod or macbook to those same speakers?
    I could buy a A/V receiver that is Airplay compatible or ...?   Any other suggestions?

    I'm still confused.  If the speakers in question are connected to the tv, then wouldn't the tv have to be powered on all the time even if those speakers are 'selected' by the Apple TV.  If so, I'd have to connect the speakers to an Airplay base station or Airplay express and link that with the Apple TV so I don't have to have the tv powered on when I just want to stream music from my macbook.
    Does that make sense?  I don't want to buy 2 separate sets of speakers for 2 different tasks - i.e. 1 set connected to an Airplay express so I can listen to streaming music stored on my Macbook and another set of speakers connected to the optical audio output of my plasma tv when I want to watch a movie on my DVD player or Dish receiver.  That's why I thought the Apple TV would be able to do both.  I suppose it can, but it just means I'd have to keep my plasma tv on all the time, even when I'm listening to streaming music.  The only other set up I can think of is to buy a 1st gen. Apple TV and direct the output to the Airplay express speakers when I want to watch a movie on my DVD player. 
    I'm not sure if I'm making this too complicated.
