Show value every 10 seconds

Hi,
 I am trying to create a moving average for the data I am collecting. I have managed to implement the movingaverage.vi into my program, but now I want to display the actual value on the front panel but only once every couple of seconds (at the moment I am collecting data many times a second and this is too quick to read on the front panel). Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There might be examples of this on the forum.  The easiest implementation is to use a State Machine, where you enter the "refreshDisplay" event at timed interval. 
Have a look at the attached example.

  • The iPad screen only shows an apple every 3 seconds. what is wrong?

    Screen shows apple every three seconds.I cannot turn it off. the iPad2 is recognized by itunes when connected to computer. Will not start up or shut down.

    If it keeps showing the Apple Logo every few seconds, then it is continuously trying to reload the iOS, but somehting is making it restart.  Normally, a failure should make the iPad boot into recovery mode automatically, but you may have a hardware issue that needs service.
    Try this before getting service:
    1) Plug the iPad into the computer and open iTunes.
    2) Hold the Power Button and Home button simultaneously for 10 seconds, then release the Power button but continue holding the Home button for 20 more seconds or until the iTunes symbol shows on the iPad's screen.
    3) Restore the iPad using iTunes on the computer.
    If you do not get the iTunes symbol on the iPad and continue to see the Apple Logo over and over even while trying these steps, your iPad will need service to get it fixed.

  • Online video players showing progress bar every 30 seconds

    Sorry, i am new member of this forum. I'have joined because i have a serious problem and i think you may have the solution for this. it think all this started when i installed windows 8 on my asus laptop. Every online player does the same: after the progress (seek) bar and mouse pointer disappears automaticly when you start a video in full screen, they show up every 30 seconds after that. So, if they disappear on 0:05 seconds, they appear again on 0:35 and on 1:05 and again and again untill the end of the video. it's so annoying. can someone help me about this ? thank you...

    Are your drivers (particularly network adapter) up to date for Win 8?
    You can also check your Video drivers:Windows: how do I update the device driver for my video/display adapter?

  • Buffering every few seconds while watching On Demand show on computer

    Trying to watch On Demand Show on my home computer, but it rebuffers every few seconds.  I have the triple play with the high speed internet.

    Hi Phil,
    We have Verizon fios and have been streaming videos with no problems in the past on all my apple devices including my iPhone 5s. now I have no problems streaming hbo, show time and Netflix. WhenI start a video it takes awhile to load and when it starts it will stop every 3 seconds and then I have to push the play button to start the video again. I have not had the opportunity to test any other Wifi connection other then the one at home.

  • Why value returned by datasocket updates every one second?

    I am using labview object to retrieve modbus register value using datasocket. I configure the poll rate of Modbus to 0:00001 (1ms I think). I read the labview object every 250ms in a loop and store the data into a file. After reading the file, I found that the value changes every four data. It looks as if the software only reads the modbus register once every one second. Is it the way it works or is there anything wrong with my setting?
    I appreciate your help and look forward to your reply.
    Steven

    Hi Steven,
    I've modified the VI you sent to use the new DataSocket VI's, rather than the old compatibility VI's. These VI's should allow you to specify the update rate within the DataSocket URL. You would specify the update rate and deadband in the following way:
    opc:\\ServerName\OPCServer\ItemName?updaterate=100&deadband=0.7
    If you have any further questions, please post a reply.

  • HELP!!! LOADING ICON SHOWS EVERY 5 SECONDS FOR ABOUT 3SECONDS!

    I have a BlackBerry Curve 9250 for about 7 months now. I have no problems with my phone and it works well and I love it. But something must have happened cause the black loading icon on the center of the screen keeps on showing every 5 seconds for about 3seconds and my phone freezes everytime the loading icon appears.
    I left the house in the morning, my phone's battery is fully charged. I did nothing special with my phone, just the usual calls and texts. I didn't download any apps either. But I was using wifi during the day so when afternoon came, the battery was already orange. When I arrived home around 10 in the evening, I checked my phone and the battery was already red so I plugged it in to charge. When it started charging, that's when the loading icon started appearing. It appears every 5seconds and it freezes the screen for about 3seconds. Now that the battery is fully charged, it still does the same thing. But now, it appears every 3 seconds and freezes for about 2seconds. What to do????

    Hi yenbaluyut
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
    Have you tried a Battery pull Restart on your BlackBerry ? 
    Please do it by removing the Battery while your device is Powered On then wait for at least a minute then reinsert it back, your device may take a long reboot . After reboot please check if your current issue resolves.
    If issue persists then you have to investigate it further ! That spining clock or hourglass appears when our device undergo low memory or if any application runs in the background. Sometime A battery pull restart is enough to resolve this issue, If we press and hold the Menu for a few seconds, it will pop up a screen which will show all running programs in the background ,generally five will always there ( Home, BBM, Message,Phone , Browser ) look if any other apps. are running.
    Also Check the File Free at Options > Status > Check File Free , In addition have you enabled Memory Cleaner on your device?  Options > Security > Memory Cleaner,  is it enabled ? If it is then disable it because  It is also responsible for device  freezing and clocking.
    If that doesn't help then you can follow this Knowledge Base article :

  • Scripting WLC show commands (ie show client detail) every x seconds/minutes

    Is there a simple way to script using either a terminal client (putty, teraterm, etc.) or Prime Infrastructure whereby I could set up a set of commands to be run at a certain interval?
    I want to conduct some client testing roaming across a site whilst some how performing a show client detail every 15 seconds and a show run-config every 30 minutes?
    TIA,
    Nick

    Is there a simple way to script using either a terminal client (putty, teraterm, etc.) or Prime Infrastructure whereby I could set up a set of commands to be run at a certain interval?
    Yes you can. 
    The easiest method is to use console.  You can knock up a script to run the command at specific intervals and log the outputs.  If you do this, you must ensure the console timeout is expanded. 
    Another option is to create a PERL script (using KRON) to telnet/SSH into the appliance and run the command and retrieve the results.

    While composing email, keep getting "Unable to save as a draft" every 30 seconds. I've disable auto save and it didn't help.How can I stop this message?

    Mike,
    Thank you for taking the time to look at my app. This is my last major stumbling block that I have to resolve for this and other forms in the app.
    Actually, I did use the Form Wizard for Auto DML to originally create the form. It was great. It created most of the Buttons, Items and Validations automatically (basically most of the page). I just needed to create some Processes and Computations. Two of which were the Processes to update the 'create_dt' and 'created_by' fields and 'update_dt' and 'updated_by' fields. The Create process updates the fields just fine.
    However, my problem seems to be that the Hidden 'create_dt' and 'created_by' fields aren't picking up the values from a record that is being editted. Then when I attempt to save the record those fields are NULL, causing the DB NOT NULL constraint to throw an exception for those fields. In the back of my mind I seem to remember seeing some post stating something to the effect that the information in fields with a Source Type of Database Column is just displayed and does not affect Session State items.
    Even with that, I am still wondering just why the 'created_by' Page Item shows the value that is in the DB record being updated, but the 'create_dt" does not (as can be seen in my first posting). It is the 'create_dt' Page Item (:P205_CREATE_DT) not having the DB records 'create_dt' info in it that appears to be the problem.
    Thanks,
    Tom

  • Problem showing values for JProgressBar!!

    Hi there!!
    I'm having two classes,one named TestProgressBar which contains a JProgressBar whose values I want to increment for every specific calculated value and the second named showTable which defines the table model for a table structure I'm showing in the frame of TestProgressBar.In fact I'm trying to load the values of an in-class defined array into the table but I want to do it in a way that after every line shown in the table my JProgressBar increments the percentage of lines shown,,e.g I have 4 rows to populate and after 1 line has been shown in the table,the percentage out of 4 lines checked becomes 25%,,so I want the JProgressBar to show 25%,,then come back,,show the second line in the table and increment the JProgressBar to the next calculated percentage,,which in this case wud be 50%...I'm attaching my code for the two classes here,,

    Can anybody please help??Thanks in advance,,,,,

    Project definition values appear fine as expected in CN41 .
    Is that mean that you have created a new custom fields for project definition using an exit? Are you able to view those fields in CN41 report?  Please confirm. 
    Because, there is a thread available now, where a user is not able to see project definition custom fields in CN41 report. You reply may help him.

  • Lion Sever:  getting "collabd_localhost.crash"  every 10 seconds

    I just upgraded to lion and then to installed the lion server on my iMac 24" 2.8 Core 2 Duo - I have 4 GB RAM, but as soon as I boot up my free RAM drops to less than 2 GB and keeps dropping.
    Console shows System log and Crash reporter pumping out a "collabd_localhost.crash"  report every 10 sends or so.
    I also had several other servermgrd_localhost.crash reports and several "shutdownStalls"
    for mds, diskarbitrationd, postgres, prl_disp_service, prl_net_start and sh.
    Anybody else having similar problems?
    Let me know if you'd like to see any of theses logs - I'll PM them to you.

    Update: I'm really thinking that I'm going to restore to a previous TM backup. How do we do that now without an installatin disk?

  • Help MSI GE60 Fan keeps spinning to 100% and down every 10 seconds.

    Hello,
    I just bought an MSI GE60 and after 4 days of using, The fan keeps spinning up and down every 10 seconds even when nothing is running on the laptop. Have tried updating the BIOS and the drivers, but no change.
    Every time i turn on my laptop this always happen. It goes on when my laptop is on. Even if im not doing anything it still keeps spinning up and down. I checked the temperature and its at 40+ C and my CPU usage is normal. Basically im not doing anything and it keeps doing this fan spin up and down.
    Even when the cooler boost is on or off, its still does the same thing, the fan keeps spinning up to 100% and down.
    Do you think this is a software issue or hardware?  It is very annoying to hear the fan go 100% for 10 seconds then back to normal then back to 100% speed again and when i press cooler boost it doesnt do anything. So even tho the cooler boost button is off, it still keeps doing the 100% fan speed and back to normal again. It keeps repeating.
    Can anyone help me solve this problem please? Thank you very much.

    I have already tried uninstalling the S-bar and SCM drivers but still getting the fan noise. Also tried the no-battery and no-power reset for more than 24 hours but still having the same problems. The only thing that worked was changing the values in the RWeverything software. The only problem here is that it will work only until I shutdown the laptop. Once I do a cold boot I have to redo the RWeverything changes again.
    @reprieve.nagrand
    thanks for your case. Can I ask you a few questions more, please?
    1. According to your model id your notebook came with just FreeDos, right? Could you please enter the Bios and go to System Information to confirm that you are using Bios 10F and EC version 14.04 (or 4.04)?
    2. I urgently need a screenshot of your EC-Page within RWeverything after a cold boot without any modifications. Please try to make the screenshot at that time, when you can barely hear the fan anymore during the spin-on / spin-off cycle.
    3. CoolerBoost: with a laptop that has been sitting idle for at least 20mins since last cold boot (no load, please!), can you turn on coolerboost by pushing the button somewhere to the left of the Powerbutton and let coolerboost run for at least 30 seconds. Then turn coolerboost off again and wait for the fan to slow down. Does the fan run continously after applying coolerboost or does it enter its off/on-cycle again. Please try it for at least 5 times and repeat it during other Windows sessions for two times. If this trick works, you are the man to make the video! Please help me out here. Please note, that the coolerboost trick will only work until there is load on the system again. If the fan speed picks up again due to load and slows down again, it will enter the annoying pattern, again.
    4. While still reviewing the case and going through my notes, I came across an entry that I reflashed the EC-Controller with the same firmware one or two nights before the problem disappeared. This happened after uninstalling S-Bar and SCM earlier. So, if you are familiar with DOS-Flashing using USB-Sticks you could try to reflash the EC-Controller, than remove all power sources for at least 20 mins. If anyone else is experiencing the problem, please go ahead and report your findings. But please do the reflash only if you are familiar with such things and of course, please do so on your own risk!
    Current status and work in progress:
    As I haven't gotten hand on a video proofing that simply pushing the coolerboost fan button makes the problem temporarily go away, I am still stuck on there. The coolerboost solution works until the system load increases so much, that the fan level has to be raised. When the system load goes back to idle again, the fan level decreases and enters the off/on-cycle again.
    The good news is I managed to customize a programm called fan control tools to somehow automatically apply the changes in RWeverything via a small GUI. This tool will also allow you to set fan profiles for Office, Games, etc. The bad news is, that this will trigger UserAccountControll at least once and it doesn't reapply after a cold boot or returning from hibernate, yet. I am now currently working on a solution that allows the new fan values to be set by Windows automatically using a batch file. This will apply the new values after a normal Windows boot, but not when returning from hibernate, though.
    However, if you have found your remedy value for the fan issue within RWeverything, you can turn to Svet in the subforum "Notebook Modified & Private BIOS'ses & EC-FW". He will certainly be able to create you a custom EC-FW with those values written permanently in it.
    My case:
    The fan problem with my notebook has not (yet) returned. It has been running without S-Bar/SCM just fine. It can even process all fan profile alterations I have made. So, am I just lucky? While I do believe, that the fans of those notebooks experiencing the issue could be "somewhat odd", I find it hard to believe that my fan really suffered a mechanical problem. Without doing anything mechanical wise, my problem went away.
    @Warner: I promised to present more videoproof of the case, but unfortunately I haven't managed to get a hold on a suitable video, especially since my unit has been running fine for the last weeks. Please be patient, if I have enough evidence I will post it asap.
    One question bothers me though: looking at the EC-page of RWeverything, I was wondering if these are really all values, that the EC handles and checks. Are there any other values, variables that the EC manages and that are not displayed on the EC-page of RWeverything? The reason for asking this, is because I have a video showing the ECpage of RWeverything while the fan does his off/on-cycle and you can clearly see the RPMvalue correspond to the actions of the fan. As you pointed out, the boosts occur because the EC is missing a fan signal, I could clearly see the RPM value at offset 0xCD respond to the actions of the EC. If the controller looks for that value only, it should surely see the RPMs of the fan, as I can see them in RWeverything. So, I was wondering if the EC has other values not shown in RWeverything, that determine if the EC should enter the boost cycle?
    While having another look at that video again, to me it appears as if the EC does this really on purpose. It tries to reduce the voltage of the fan to a point so low, that the fan simply starves. Then it boosts the fan up again. The only question is: why does the EC do that? Is there a leftover setting inside the EC - perhaps from another notebook - where such low RPMs were achievable?
    You can find the video here in this zip-file: http://www.file-upload.net/download-7371226/MSI.rar.html
    In the zip-file you will find three numbered videos, the first one is the most interesting as it shows the annoying fan cycle while the laptop is running idle. In the second one, the user put load on the system using prime95. The third one shows the system while it cools off again after prime95 has been stopped. Sadly, the video is too short as the system doesn't reach its lowest fan state again. The videos were taken in march in Germany, so the ambient temperature is around 20-21 °C or less (normal room temperature in Germany).

  • MacBook Pro freezes every few seconds

    Hi All,
    My two year old MacBook Pro started freezing randomly one day. It happens with any application that I have open (Safari, Word, Finder), I get the beach ball every few seconds for any operation I try doing. When the cursor comes back I have seen spikes of CPU usage and the relevant program also shows as 'Not Responding'.
    I have tried everything, PRAM/SMC resetting, hardware test, disk repair etc. The latest being a clean install of Mavercks. It was fine for a few hours until it started freezing again like before. I made sure not to install much and didn't even copy my backup over yet.  Here is my EtreCheck output, can someone please HELP!!

  • Macbook pro Display freezes and darkens every few seconds

    Hey ,
    I just bought my Macbook pro 15 inch late 2013 few months ago , I'm new to Apple products ,
    My screen started freezing and darkening every 4 seconds , starting from when I power it , until I shut it down even If I don'tt run any programs
    I can't move the cursor while it's freezing or do anything , but for example If I write any text , the text will show up when it unfreezes , and If I'm listening to music the sound doesn't freeze . I tried the safe mode , and reseting the PRAM and NVRAM , running disk utility in single user mode and said that everything is fine , I checked my hardware using apple hardware test and also said that everything is fine , I removed the flash player thinking that it may be the problem but nothing changed . I don't know what I'm doing because as I said I'm new to all of this but I tried random things and nothing seems to work , I would really appreciate any help .
    PS. when I tried taking a screenshot of the screen when it freezes and darkens a little , it appeared normal in the screenshot .

    After the PRAM reset did you reboot the MBP and the projector?
    If not, connect and power up the projector, the power up MBP.
    The monitor itself could be on the way out, is there another monitor you can check it on.
    Another thing you can try is a VGA cable with the DVI adapter and see if that performs better.
    You can also try a different cable, since it worked fine in the past, I'm just trying to help you.
    check some of these out:

    I hope you can find something here, it's hard to source problems when the device(s) are not in front of you.
    Let me know how this works for you,

  • My macbook pro freezes every few seconds

    Hi everyone!
    About a week ago my MBP started freezing every few seconds showing the well known spinning beach balls every time, even when running no apps, I've sepnt plenty of time looking for a solution, I've read this problem might be due to a physically damaged hard drive, bt I've tested it several times using different apps and it shows no error, I've read from another discussion about Etrecheck as a useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem, so I hope some of you guys can help me checking the log output. Here it is:
