Sound and Vibration pallet is only for ...

Hi,
         I installed Labview on my system and I saw Sound and vibration Pallet. Now, I am working with 4610 accelerometer through USB 6008 and analyzing the Voltage levels in labview. I have a doubt that the sound and vibration pallet is only for when using NI sound and vibration kit or can I use those options in this project.

in a loop - capture a waveform (4096 points for example) from your accelerometer - analyze it, and then output a serial command with the adjustment based on your analysis. 
repeat the loop until some measurement is met - the serial device is stable, for example.

  • Sound and Vibration toolkit for vibration analysis

    Hi guys! I am new to Labview. I am trying to use Sound and Vibration toolkit to analyse the accelerometer signal mounted on a motor through myRio. The analysis are spectral map, order tracking, power spectrum, order spectrum etc. But nothing can be seen from the output graph. The only result I get is from vibration level.
    Attached is a screen shot of my vi and actual vi file. Am I doing it correctly? I really need your help guys....
    Thanks.

    SK,
    You have serious problems in your File.VI.  Why are your writing to your file and then reading it right back?  Worse, there is no guarantee that the File write will actually occur before the File Read.  You have a race condition set up there between those two Spreadsheet File VI's.
    If you want to maintain a history of whatever has already been written to the file, you should be building it into an array and storing in a shift register.  Even if your File.vi would by chance work the way you want it to, storing data in the file system is much slower than maintaining your data in memory.
    As for your while loop, it is going to run as fast as it can with respect to all the functions occurring inside of it.  Is it possible you are getting 14 iterations of that while loop for each frequency step that is occurring?

  • Velocity Displcement Calibration for Sound and Vibration Tool Kit

    Hello Guys,
    I have been working on sound and vibration tool kit recently.
    I'm taking input from sound port of PC by signal generator and taking single and double Integration for velocity and displacement resp.
    I want to check the correctness of the values for different amplitudes,and different frequencies of signal, velocity and displacement. 
    The RMS values for signal is calibrated as per signal generator, RMS value for the Velocity is correct for a limited frequency range 
    and the RMS value for the displacement is not at all calibrated for any of the frequency. 
    I will appreciate replies,

    Hey guys,
    The following vi is working
    for the signal generated with in Labview but if the signal is taken
    from mic port through signal generator.
    then the velocity and displacement is not coming.
    i'm attaching vi below kindly  reply if someone get something

  • Is possible to use PCI 6250 card for order power spectrum in sound and vibration

    Hai all,
    Iam new to Labview sound and vibration. In my application i need to extract the order power spectrum, for that iam using PCI 6250 NIcard. I tried with our NI example program i cant able to get the prober result. Whether this card is suitable for my apllication ?. If it is suitable can any one explain to me to get the order power spectrum...
    In my application iam using one analog signal and one encoder signal(Speed) . Can any one Help...
    Thanks in advance,
    Vijay

    iam using one accelerometer to get the signal from transaxle gear box. This accelerometer signal iam passing to charge amplifier card to get 0-10v signal. This signal iam passing to PCI6250 ai- 0 channel and encoder is connected with motor is passing to ai-1channel for analog tacho. iam using NI example program (Order power spectrum - analog tacho. VI).
    sampling rate is 1000 S/s and no. of samples 1000 for acquiring data. But i cant able to get speed and order magnitude value proberly. Encoder PPR -1000. Can u help me....

  • Sound and Vibration Toolkit with NI-SCOPE AND NI-FGEN

    Hi,
    I would like to use the Sound and Vibration Toolkit with the NI-FGEN and NI-SCOPE,specifically the stepped sine analysis. The stepped sine VI's are compatible with only DAQmx and not NI-SCOPE and NI-FGEN,right?
    Any way around this?

    Hi there,
    Firstly I assume you mean Swept sine and not stepped!?
    This is the closest thing I could find:
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3347
    I had a look for you and there is nothing that works with a swept sine in FGEN or SCOPE natively that we supply.  However I do believe that a lot of the functionality could be programmed in FGEN and SCOPE vi's.
    You would however need to make copies of all the Swept Sine VI's and replace all DAQmx calls and property nodes with the appropriate SCOPE/FGEN vi's.
    Not a short answer I'm afraid and I can't guarantee that all the functionality is going to be there.
    Sorry its not a better answer.

  • How to reset Sound and Vibration Spectral map

    Hi,
    I want to create a Campbell diagram for a rotating machine, in live (while the machine is rotating).
    This diagram is basically a graph of the spectral content a a signal (Hz), versus the rotation speed (RPM).
    I've found an express VI that seems to do what i want to do (Spectral Map, in the Sound and Vibration toolkit). The output of this VI is buffered so that it can run in live (The buffer vi is also a vi that comes from the Sound and Vibration toolkit).
    The block diagram of my complete process is attached to this message, sorry it's a bit messy.
    On the first run, this VI works as expected: as the machine is running up, the graph is filling up. Now if I want to make a second run-up, i need to first reset the VI. However once the vi has been reset, it won't ouput anydata!
    I've tried different combination:
    - Reset  "Waterfall and Campbell.vi" and the buffer
    - Reset only the buffer
    - Reset only the "Waterfall and Campbell.vi"
    None of them work, the colormap stays black. 
    So does anyone know how to use this express vi? I could find an exemple that works with live data and buffering.
    Thanks,
    Regards,

    Reset waterfall.png ‏74 KB

    Hi,
    Attached to this post, you'll find a piece of code that replicates the problem I have in my main application.
    If you run the vi with an initial small frequency (the frequency dial up simulates the rotation speed) and then increase that speed, you'll notice that the spectral map gets filled as expected.
    The problem arises when I try to reset the spectral map (=do a new run-up):
    - I set the frequency to a minimum
    - I hit the reset button (the spectral map is emptied as expected)
    - I slowly increase the frequency ===> the spectral map does NOT get filled up anymore. Or it gets filled up like 30 seconds after the run up or gets partially filled up.... in summary there is something wrong with the map each time I try to reset the septral map vi.
    Let me know if you need more information.
    Best regards,

  • Where is the asper measurement in Sound and Vibration assistant

    I did a test drive of the Sound and Vibration Suite, liked what it could do, but could only afford the Toolkiit. Now I can't find the Asper (Roughness) measurement in the Toolkit. Is it there? I found the Loudness, Sharpness, etc.

    Hi elrathia,
    I think you are looking for the Sound and Vibration » Sound Quality » SV Aures Roughness function.  It should be included with the toolkit.

  • Sound and Vibrate does not work at same time

    Hi Support,
    I have recently purchased BlackBerry Z3.
    It does not support Sound & Vibrate at same time.
    In Normal mode, I have enabled Sound and Vibrate but it does only give sound for incoming calls/messages.
    (does not vibrate)
    In Vibrate Mode, it does only vibrate.
    This is the first time I am using Blackberry and I am annoyed with the basic feature not working.
    Please respond.
    Regards,
    Sunil.

  • 5s phone makes a loud sound and vibration when talking on the phone. Any advice on this?

    Need help with this.. iPhone 5s makes a loud sound and vibration while talking. So bad you have to hang up and call back. I have been to Apple and they have replaced the phone 3 times and still having the same problems

    My 5s did exactly as you describe only on the left side of the display.
    I exchanged mine as this is unacceptable and does not bode well for long term durability (on the creaky units).
    You have 30 days I think for defective units. Better make an appointment with support and get it noted for the record or replaced.

  • Average multiple signals together in sound and vibration assistant

    Hello,
    I would like to average octave analysis data from multiple microphone channels together to obtain a single set of octave analysis data to view within Sound and Vibration Assistant (a surface average from the microphones).  I have created an octave averaging vi in LabVIEW to run in SVA, but I get the error that there are no signals in my SVA project to input into my vi.  I have based the input of my vi on code generated from SVA which outputed multichannel octave analysis data, so I don't quite understand why the output from an octave analysis in SVA doesn't match up to the input of my vi.
    I also would like to do this for multichannel power spectrum data, and I have tried creating my own vi for this as well with no success.
    I am using LabVIEW 2011 32-bit along with Sound and Vibration Assistant 2011.
    Any assistance with finding a solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You,
    Eric Morgan

    Octave Average.vi ‏13 KB
    Power Spectra Average.vi ‏13 KB

    Hello Jake,
    Thank you for responding to my post.  After recording the raw sound pressure data from my microphones, I placed an Octave Analysis step and a Power Spectrum analysis step in the playback section of SVA, and the outputs of these steps should have served as inputs to the VIs I created (I assume you only looked at the power spectrum averaging VI, as the octave averaging VI accepts a 1D array of clusters of center frequencies and band powers).  I did find that my averaging VIs did not have the correct size of empty array going into the second For loop, so I have corrected this in the attached VI (for averaging the FFT).
    Also, I was able to get my corrected VI for averaging the FFT to work after getting past a little quirk in SVA.  After browsing to my VI in setting up the "Run LabVIEW VI" step, I had to click the "Refresh VI" button before it would let me select a power spectrum as its input.
    I also think I figured out why the octave averaging VI doesn't work.  I think it has something to do with the fact that the output of an Octave Analysis step in SVA can not be used as an input to any other steps within SVA, which makes sense most of the time since once you have performed an octave analysis, there is really no other processing of this data that would ever need done...except for my case of averaging the 10 channels together to obtain the surface average SPL (kind of important when testing according to ISO3744).  If this is the case, I would consider this a bug in SVA, as any output from any step in SVA that can be displayed should be able to be used as an input to a "Run LabVIEW VI" step.
    I agree with you that in the end, it would be easier to do everything in just LabVIEW if I were just collecting data for post-processing at a later date, but when investigating noise issues and collecting mounds of data in the process, SignalExpress makes it a little easier to sift through that data as it is collected/logged while still in our sound lab, which may give us some ideas of different ways to test at that moment and possibly find the cause of our noise issues.
    Thanks again for responding to my post,

  • Frequency response - sound and vibration

    Hi,
    I need to find the frequency response of the DUT. I am using the NI example from sound and vibration toolkit to do
    so (LabVIEW 8.5\examples\Sound and Vibration\Getting Started\SVXMPL_Getting Started with Swept Sine (DAQmx).vi) now my problem is
    to tabulate the phase difference between the stimulus and response when i do it i get constant values. Even though i dont give any response 
    signal to the channel i get the wave same as stimulus, is it suppose to be like that !!!!!!!!!! I will attach my vi so that it gives the idea where 
    i am measuring the phase difference pls check it and help me with this.....thank you in advance.

    DAQ Freq resp (req)_trial.vi ‏121 KB

    What is the DAQ card you are using for executing this Frequency Response?
    This DAQ error is related to the output frequency of your signal higher than the possible output rate of the card. Basically, you are trying to update at a rate higher than the capability of the card.
    For doing Frequency response, generally you need to have a NI DSA card (446x/447x/449x) with one Analog output and two analog inputs (minimum). Generate the swept sine signal from the Analog output channel, give this signal as input to your DUT and also to one of the Analog input channel. This input to your Analog input channel will act as your Reference signal. Then the response signal from your DUT, connect it to another Analog input channel. You would get a very good response results.
    The reason why you need to have a DSA board is that, for doing Frequency response, we need to acquire both high frequency and low frequency components without much loss. This is possible only if your DAQ board has a higher dB value (in the range of >110dB) which is present only in DSA boards.
    I have completed a Frequency Response Analysis just a week back with the same example programs. So there wont be any problem with that vi.

  • Sound and Vibration Suite - Leq Measurement?

    Hello,
    I am new to Sound and Vibration Suite and can't seem to find how to measure Leq. To clarify, I do not have LabView with this package, just the S&V Suite 2010. Currently the only options are Linear, Exponential, Peak and Equal Confidence (all found under the SPL Octave Analysis step).
    Do I need LabView to perform an Leq or Running Leq measurement???

  • Third octave operations with "sound and vibration toolkit"

    Hi!
    I’m working about third octave decomposition with a vibration signal.
    I’m using the sound and vibration toolkit.
    The sample frequency of my signal is 2400 Hz.
    And I’m working with a 1 second vibration signal (so 2400 points).
    Fs = 2400
    N = 2400
    I need to understand the different and successive operations that the “SVT Fractional-octave Analysis [IEC].vi”VI do.
    In fact, I think that my frequency resolution (df = Fe/N=1Hz) is too low.
    Do you have a solution?
    Maybe I could turn into my 1 sec signal in 10 sec signal with 10 recopies and assemblage of my previous signal?
    N’ = 10N so df = Fe/10N = 0.1Hz.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello,
    The first thing you have to do is to read the Chapter 7 of the user manual of the Sound and Vibration Toolset.
    You can find it in : program -> National Instruments -> LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolset -> User Manual
    This chapter discusses fractional-octave analysis, including fractional-octave analysis theory, averaging modes supported by the
    Octave Analysis VIs, settling time, and ANSI and IEC standards.
