Signal Express Play Back Help

I have logged a signal in Signal Express. The logged signal was a force aquired from a NI DAQ system. The logged data consists of a number of peaks all of difference magnitude and period. My goal is to get a list of each of the peaks maximum amplitude so I can later average these force components for analyzation.
I can already find the MAX amplitude using the amplitude and level function. This does not help me though because it only records the maximum value over the entire experiment.
Can I do this application in Signal Express? I do NOT have the ability to purchase addtional software such as diadem to do this. I am hoping to carry this out all in the LabView signal express project.

Hello erb174,
In LabVIEW SignalExpress, there is no direct way to get all of the peaks in your signal. However, during playback, you have the option to break your playback file into smaller chunks instead of playing back the entire file all at once. To do this, from the playback part of the project, select the tab Playback Options. In there, there is a block size input in the Playback block configuration section. Using this, you can select the number of samples of your recorded signal to playback at a time. You can pick a number of samples that is sure to contain only a single peak. I then used the Amplitude and Levels step to search for the peak in the current subset of my recorded data. From there you can save this data to an LVM file. This will get you a list of peaks you created.
You could also consider creating a custom LabVIEW step that would search for the peaks for you. After you create this step you can distribute it with your SignalExpress project.

X-Plot Channel 1 vs. Channel 0 in Signal Express

Hello All! This is probably obvious, but I have not been able to find it. I am trying to use signal express to record 2 differential analog imputs in a DAQ device (NIDaqMX). I have differential Channel 0 and differential Channel 1. I can record channel 0 vs. time and 1 vs. time, but I need to be able to generate a Channel 1 vs Channel 0 plot. Is there a way to do this in Signal Express?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Diego J. Diaz

Hello Phil, Rob, All;
Thanks for your replies. I will give a bit of background of what I am trying to accomplish. We have an old piece of electrochemical instrumentation (potentiostat) that used to collect data to an X-Y recorder. It sends an analog (up to) -10 to 10 V signal on an X channel and another one on an Y channel. We can use knobs in the instrument to "scale" the signal (or in LabView or Excel). Now, the X-Y recorder is gone to the old instrumentation heaven and I am trying to use and USB-6008 or USB-6009 (I have both) to collect data. X-axis is the voltage to which I assign channel #0 and the current is assigned to channel 1. Now, I can collect different "waveforms". It is usually a linear ramp (low-high-low) in cycles or steps (low to high to low asd a staircase instead of a ramp). I can collect either channel separately, but can't plot current vs potential (1 vs 0). I can do current vs time or potential vs time.
Thanks for all the help. Hope this bit of background can help in finding a solution.

Signal Express Program Freezes After Driver Install

Hello,
I recently installed NI-XNET 1.4 on my machine and a few days later I went to run a signal express program that never had operational issue until after the driver install?
What could of happened to this program to cause this failure?
I have other SE programs that load effectively after the driver update but this particular one does not.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi smoothdurban! Thanks for posting!
I'd like to get a little more information from you to see if I can get your signal express programs back up and running. First, have you changed anything in any of those programs since you were last able to run run them? Also, have you changed any hardware in your computer recently? XNET and Signal Express exist basically independently of one another, which leads me to believe that the installation of XNET was not the issue. However, one step to take to verify that nothing was altered in Signal Express during the XNET install would be to repair the Signal Express installation.
On a Windows machine, you'll want to go to your control panel under your start menu, then navigate to either "Add or Remove Programs" or "Programs and Features" depending on what version of Windows you are running. You'll next want to navigate to National Instruments Software, then double-click. Navigate through the list to find NI LabVIEW SignalExpress, then click the repiar icon in the window. You will need the installation file you used previously to do this.
If this doesn't work, please let us know!

My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1. I have imported .mov clips created with a older mac os x (lion) and converted them to import into fce. after doing this as well as putting clips on the fce timeline when playing back t.h

My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1. I have imported .mov clips created on a older mac os x (lion) and when I wanted to import them into fce, a quicktime conversion window opened up and converted them (I haven't experienced this in the past). I then imported the converted quicktime clips into my fce project. After doing this I took selected clips and put those edited clips on the fce timeline. When playing the video back in the fce timeline,I noticed
1) the video wasn't playing back smoothly like the original content
2) when looking at the timecode reading of the timeline, the timecode was sputtering as well as the video and audio. I exported to quicktime just to see if that was consistent, it was.
When I play the converted quicktime content independently of fce, it plays normally (no sputtering of timecode, video and audio. Need help to resolve the sputtering playback of converted video content in the fce timeline. I've never experienced this before. Any suggestions?

When you say you converted the clips before importing them into FCE, did you convert to AIC or DV and do the converted clips match your FCE Sequence settings exactly? If not, go back and convert the original files again, using the intended Sequence settings as a guide.

Videos taken with my iPhone 5 play back fine on my phone, but are too slow when imported to my PC. Everything seems updated. HELP!!

When I take a video with my iPhone 5, it plays back great on my phone. However, when I upload to my computer it plays back extremely slow, or the image freezes while the audio keeps going. I've tried Windows Media Player, Quicktime, VLC media player, and they are all updated. So is my computer software. I never had this problem with my previous iPhone 3Gs. This is very annoying, help!!

Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frame every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frames every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

These may be different issues, but lets look at rentals first.
Poor motion can result from mismatched output. If your source is 24 or 30 fps you should set the output of the Apple TV to 60 Hz, for 25 fps content use 50 Hz.
Additionally motion software on the TV itself can cause the picture to jump, check your TV settings and turn off any motion settings in use,

I need to play back a video-recording i have taken myself and have it show the time count in seconds on the play back. Can you help?

I need to play back a video-recording that I have taken myself and have it show the time counter in secs/minutes in the playback. Can anyone help?

the movie editing app "Avid Studio" displays a time counter, as does the Pinnacle editing app. Oddly enough, I movie does not. (unless I have it somehow turned off.)

I cannot find information to help me change the orientation of a video filmed in portrait format but only able to be played back lying on its side (landscape) instead of upright. All the rotation buttons for iPhoto are not 'engaged' when it is in video .

I cannot find information to help me change the orientation of a video filmed in portrait format but it can only able to be played back lying on its side (landscape) instead of upright. All the rotation buttons for iPhoto are not 'engaged' when it is in video .

Thanks OT,
I tried the Export function but it would not allow me to choose the option of exporting to iMovie. I think you are right about needing Quicktime Pro. I opened iMovie and imported the clip from iPhoto and with some searching found the 'cropping, rotation' mechanism. So I now have a copy in the correct orientation. I plan to import/export it back to iPhoto because I want to have a copy on my iPhone to show people and I wanted to have it available as part of a slideshow I am making in iPhoto of my recent overseas trip. It is a pain that there is no simple orientating tool for the movie clips downloaded to iPhoto with the photos from the one camera.

Using the camera on my iPad 2, I can record videos, but can't get them to play back. I'd appreciate your help with this!

HELP!How to create HD disc that will play back in HD DVD or Blu-Ray player?

Footage comes from Panasonic HVX200 as DVCPRO HD 1080i60, all appropriate settings made in FCP5 to edit. Have already made SD DVD, whoopie.
Now client is interested in real HD version that they can play back on HD DVD or Blu-Ray set top unit. Of all my research, I've discovered little about how to make a "real" HD video disc. OSX doesn't support Blu-Ray burning, OK. What about HD DVD burning support? And what drive to purchase for this application?
I understand DVD Studio will allow me to author a disc with HD content...that I can burn onto DVD5. Useless to the client. Need to burn on either Blu-Ray or HD DVD media.
Aside from encoding in Compressor, what do I do when I need to make this HD disc happen? Compressor step seems easy enough to figure out. Just very unclear on how to burn out appropriate video disc.
Thanks for your help.

For Blu-Ray creation:
I'm curious if DVDit! works in parallels too, though it will certainly work in BootCamp. The question is what format should FCP/Compressor output to in order for DVDIt, etc. on BC or Parallels need in order to create the disc?
MPEG-2 and H.264 should work, but who knows?
In the meantime, I have HDV source footage that I edit. I print the final edit back to HDV for archiving, and burn a HD-DVD on a DL DVD+R red laser disc to show on my Toshiba HD-DVD player using DVDSP. It works, and I can get about 40 minutes of MPEG-2/HDV on there without transcoding at 1080i and it looks fantastic.
In the future, I hope to be able to dump the HDV final edit onto a Blu-Ray disc. I'm guessing Adobe Encore will be needed on the Mac for that.
The point here is there certainly are options that work. I do wish Apple added Blu-Ray burning capability.
There's still room for that, however... FCS 1 (and even now 2, with AVCHD support, albeit non-native) have histories of adding new support for codecs, etc. in free updates.

Why is Logic Express 8 keep stopping after 2 sec, every time I press play? Help!!!

Why is Logic Express 8 keep stopping after 2 sec, every time I press play? Help!!!

Its likely to be caused by Ozone5.. many people have reported that plugin is currently quite unstable and are awaiting updates from izotope to fix the problem... No ETA has been given by izotope for the fix however...
Also several of your plugins are out of date (Zebra2, Clariphonic, Ozone itself.. to name but a few,)
Finally, you are running an older version of Logic Pro X (10.0.3)...and I would normally suggest you update to the latest version but... if you have a USB2 audio interface do not update to 10.0.5 at this time.... unless you know it will work correctly with the new version of LPX.

Captured video plays back fast (sped up) in Final Cut Express 4

I had a Panasonic mini-dv digital camera that was stolen and it worked great with FCE. I purchased a JVC GR-D870 (mini-dv) as a replacement and now in FCE when I capture video it plays back fast in the Viewer and if I open the .mov file in Quicktime. Note that the video plays back at the correct speed when played from the camera, and when the video is being captured. I've tried changing my Easy Setup, but nothing has helped much. I'm currently using the DV-NTSC FireWire Basic setting, though it doesn't matter which one I chose. I did try using the 25.00 fps DV-PAL setting and interestingly it will capture for about 2 seconds and then crash, but the 2 second clip I'm left with seems to playback at the normal speed. This is an NTSC camera so not sure how to get the video that I capture to play at the correct speed (frame rate?). Any help would be most appreciated.

Never heard this one before!
I have no idea why it is playing back fast, but if you have an NTSC camera you must use an NTSC Easy Setup.
When FCE behaves strangely the first thing to try is to delete the preferences as described here:-

Video does not play back - please help

Hi everyone...
Here are the specs:
Premier Pro CS4
Windows XP SP3
Intel Core 2 Duo
T9400 @ 2.53 Ghz
2.53 Ghz 2.90 GB
149 GB HD - 111 GB free space
I am not able to play back any type of video, it will pixilated and freeze. The audio plays fine. I have imported QT files as well as captured video at the standard DV-NTSC Standard 48Khz
During capeure I have no problem viewing or capturing....
The thumbnail image shows a proper image but ones I hit play on the thumbnail preview it pixilated and freezes as well. Even if I drop the clip in the timeline it does not work.
I checked the material by using it in another computer with PPC4 and it worked fine...so the source material is not corrupted....
Any and all the help is appreciated.

Regarding QT that is what I have always used with other NLE, what do you recommend?
I've had great luck with QT. I've had the Pro version on all machines going way, way back, with not one issue. Many others have not been so fortunate. As I do not let it update, I managed to miss the 7.4.x debacle, where about 3 udpates killed almost everything Adobe. I'm running 7.5.5 on all machines, IIRC. QT is up to 7.6.3, last time I checked.
I get a ton of .MOV files and specify the Apple Animation CODEC. To date, all have played and edited fine on my PC's. Again, based on the reports from the field, YMMV. Just because I have had 100% success, does not mean that any others will. Many have not.
Now, I have the Pro update, and I cannot say how that might affect things, other than the "features" of Pro. As it is just an "unlock," the "guts" of QT Player have go to be pretty much identical. Still, my results have always been with the Pro version, FWIW.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS, if there were not issues for many others, the term QuirKtime®, would not have come into popular usage.

After importing video to iMovie it plays back at two time sthe speed. Can any one help?How

I am improrting movies from my digital camera, as i have done 50 times in the past. Now they play back in iMovie HD at two times the speed. What's up with that? Has anyone else had this problem and if so can it be solved?

I don't know if it's a fix, but when them clips(fast one's), are in the project, click on it's blue gear(inspector),> Clip Adjustment> Speed= should be 100%. If it helps until fixed, try and slow it down to normal. Just a tempory fix, unless you find the problem on that way.
