Spectral Measurements VI - problem with scales

Hi.
I am generating a chirp signal using MathScript node and plotting it's PSD. Then I am passing the signal to DAQ (X Series) acquiring it on an analog input and plotting its PSD again. Both times I am using the same "Spectral Mesurements" VI to calculate the PSD. I am not using any windows or averaging and both results are in dB. I am also plotting the time domain signals. As expected, the time domain signals look exactly the same, and the PSD looks the same except for the Y scale. So, I am trying to understand where the difference in the Y scale is comming from.
I am attaching the screenshot and the VI
Thanks a lot for any help.

I took a look at your attached VI, one suggestion I have for you is to wire the "Stimulus" to a Convert From Dynamic Data VI before wiring it to the Signals input of the Spectral Measurments 3 express VI. Just to see if data type has any effect on the PSD of the signals.

Z10 problem with Scala rider q3 bluetooth headset

Hi there, I've got a Z10 and I’m trying to steam music to a Scala rider Q3 (Bluetooth motorcycle headset) but I'm having problems with it. When trying to listen to music it sounds as if the music is stuttering and sounds slowed down almost like its buffering a song.
The problem is only there between the z10 (I’ve tried 2 different z10s) and the q3. I've tried the phone with other Bluetooth devices and it works fine also the headset works with other phones.
Any ideas??
Solved!

I emailed Cardo tech support this morning and Geoff replied within about 5 minutes (very impressive). He also sent me a link so I can update to software version 1.2 (beta). I will try it this evening. Thanks for letting me know it worked for you.

Problem with scale tool locked on "constrain proportions"

I have no idea how that happened but suddenly my Scale Tool stopped working like it should be and works as if it was locked on "constrain proportions".
Whenever I try to scale an object (any object), if I try to scale it by dragging one of the transform bounding box corners, it scales like I would keep the Shift key pressed.
Is there a key shortcut that locks the "constrain proportions" setting?
I was trying to find an answer to that problem and it looks like there are people with the same issue but none of them got any answer.

The following article doesn't address the Scale/Transform behavior at issue here, but it offers some good information on scaling objects in Fireworks:
http://www.fireworkszone.com/six-ways-to-scale-an-object-in-adobe-fireworks_654.html
I particularly liked its description of scaling using Pointer tool:
Instead of using the Scale Tool you can use the Pointer tool. The pointer tool can scale, auto shapes, bitmaps but cannot scale any path object or symbols. Rectangle Primitives are a special case, but if you ungroup it, then the pointer cannot scale it. Draw a circle/ellipse, polygon, or any auto shape and ungroup it to become a regular path, and the pointer tool cannot scale it. Draw a line with the line tool or a custom path with the pen tool, and the pointer tool cannot scale it.
What it doesn't mention is that you can basically surround anything with a Group, and then scale it using the Pointer tool—even objects that couldn't otherwise be scaled this way, like Symbols or Paths. So instead of selecting the Scale tool or the Transform command, you could group the selected object(s) using the Group command (e.g. ⌘G), scale non-proportionally or proportionally (with the Shift key) using the Pointer tool, and then Ungroup (e.g. ⇧⌘G).
It's an idea, anyway.

Problem with keyframe effect - at start and end (crop and scale)

I'm having this odd problem with keyframe effects.
Setup:
I have a gif image that I have on video 1 for say 2 minutes.
I have my real video on video 2. It is a person talking.
First I start with my video full size on top of video 1.
Though the motion and cropping keyframe management I slowly reduce the scale and crop my video image so that it is reduced to the lower left bottom of the screen, on top of the gif, which is now revealed.
My problem is at the start and end of the transition from full video to small box on lower left on top of my gif I often get 1-2 frames where the video goes blank and/or I get a bunch of random red bars on black background appearing on the video - Or I get the gif from video 1 without the video 2 at all (it disappears).
I've tried moving my start of end of the transition to skip the bad spots - but these new transition starts or ends not get their own bad spots in the same way. Its only a couple of frames but it's really unacceptable for the finished video.
Note, when I say transition here I don't mean real transition events, but rather the start of effects that are managed with keyframes. My move from start to end of the effect runs for about 4-6 seconds.
Any ideas?

Bill,
Here is more detail and screen captures.
Concept:
I have 3 minutes of video. It contains a person making a speech. During parts of the speech I want to reveal a graphic image that will be discussed. The speech will begin with the speaker full screen. Half way in, the speaker will shrink down to 45% in the lower left corner of the screen. While the animation occurs (the shrink, move and cropping) it will reveal the graphic below. The graphic will take up the full screen with the speaker at 45%.
Technique:
I put the video in Video 2 and the graphic, a GIF image in Video 1. The scene begins with the speaker talking at full screen. After a minute, I animate the move of the speaker using Motion: Scale and Position and Effect: Crop changing Top, Bottom, Left and Right sides. The animation occurs over approximately 8 seconds.
I am manually adding keyframes at the start and end of the animation. I set the ending state of the video image in the end keyframes. The interpolation between these start and end keyframes should be managing the animation.
Problem:
At the beginning and end of the animation – usually 1-3 frames from the start and 1-3 frames from the end, where the change has barely begun or almost ended, I get these problems. On some frames, the video (in Video 2) completely disappears only showing the Video 1 GIF image below. On other frames, the video image turns black with horizontal red bands half way across.
Troublshooting:
I’ve tried deleting all start and end keyframes and moving the start and end earlier or later to see if I can fix this, but the problem continues to show up in these new locations.
I have added a few screen shots.
1:32:15 is the start of the animation change and 1:40:22 is the end of increasing from the mini video speaker to full size (on top of the GIF).
At 1:40:16 the video image completely disappears only showing the GIF below.
At 1:40:17 its back and slowly increases in size through the interpolation until it is full size at 1:40:22.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks!

Problem with Unit of measurement

Hi,
I am having problem with Unit of measurement with different languages.

But if I logon into same client(200) with different language DE(german) version, I am not able to see the description in German, the description field is blank.
Kindly give me a solution for this problem as it is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Aishwarya,
I can think of 2 possibilities:
1. You need to verify passing the Target UoM with the ISO Code as well as the update flag in the 'X' structures.
2. The material that you are trying to pass some UoM does not have the conversion maintained in the Material Master. (Base UoM --> Target UoM conversion in Material Master, contact Functional Consultant).
Also, if you can verify by performing the action manually and check if the Sales Order is getting created manually with the Target UoM .

Calc problem with fact table measure used as part of bridge table model

Hi all,
I'm experiencing problems with the calculation of a fact table measure ever since I've used it as part of a calculation in a bridge table relationship.
In a fact table, PROJECT_FACT, I had a column (PROJECT_COST) whose default aggregate was SUM. Whenever PROJECT_COST was used with any dimension, the proper aggregation was done at the proper levels. But, not any longer. One of the relationships PROJECT_FACT has is with a dimension, called PROJECT.
PROJECT_FACT contains details of employees and each day they worked on a PROJECT_ID. So for a particular day, employee, Joe, might have a PROJECT_COST of $80 for PROJECT_ID 123, on the next day, Joe might have $40 in PROJECT_COST for the same project.
Dimension table, PROJECT, contains details of the project.
A new feature was added to the software - multiple customers can now be charged for a PROJECT, where as before, only one customer was charged.
This percentage charge break-down is in a new table - PROJECT_BRIDGE. PROJECT_BRIDGE has the PROJECT_ID, CUSTOMER_ID, BILL_PCT. BILL_PCT will always add up to 1.
So, the bridge table might look like...
PROJECT_ID CUSTOMER_ID BILL_PCT
123          100     .20
123          200     .30
123          300     .50
456 400 1.00
678 400 1.00
Where for project 123, is a breakdown for multiple customers (.20, .30. .50).
Let's say in PROJECT_FACT, if you were to sum up all PROJECT_COST for PROJECT_ID = 123, you get $1000.
Here are the steps I followed:
- In the Physical layer, PROJECT_FACT has a 1:M with PROJECT_BRIDGE as does PROJECT to PROJECT_BRIDGE (a 1:M).
PROJECT_FACT ===> PROJECT_BRIDGE <=== PROJECT
- In the Logical layer, PROJECT has a 1:M with PROJECT_FACT.
PROJECT ===> PROJECT_FACT
- The fact logical table source is mapped to the bridge table, PROJECT_BRIDGE, so now it has multiple tables it maps to (PROJECT_FACT & PROJECT_BRIDGE). They are set for an INNER join.
- I created a calculation measure, MULT_CUST_COST, using physical columns, that calculates the sum of the PROJECT_COST X the percentage amount in the bridge table. It looks like: SUM(PROJECT_FACT.PROJECT_COST * PROJECT_BRIDGE.BILL_PCT)
- I brought MULT_CUST_COST into the Presentation layer.
We still want the old PROJECT_COST around until it get's phased out, so it's in the Presentation layer as well.
Let's say I had a request with only PROJECT_ID, MULT_CUST_COST (the new calculation), and PROJECT_COST (the original). I'd expect:
PROJECT_ID MULT_CUST_COST PROJECT_COST
123          $1000     $1000
I am getting this for MULT_CUST_COST, however, for PROJECT_COST, it's tripling the value (possibly because there are 3 percent amounts?)...
PROJECT_ID MULT_CUST_COST PROJECT_COST
123          $1000 (correct)      $3000 (incorrect, it's been tripled)
If I were to look at the SQL, it would have:
          SELECT SUM(PROJECT_COST),
SUM(PROJECT_FACT.PROJECT_COST * PROJECT_BRIDGE.BILL_PCT),
               PROJECT_ID
          FROM ...
          GROUP BY PROJECT_ID
PROJECT_COST used to work correctly before modeling a bridge table.
Any ideas on what I did wrong?
Thanks!

Hi
Phew, what a long question!
If I understand correctly I think the problem lies with your old cost measure, or rather combining that with you new one in the same request. If you think about it, your query as explained above will bring back 3 rows from the database which is why your old cost measure is being multiplied. I suspect that if you took it out of the query, your bridge table would be working properly for the new measure alone?
I would consider migrating your historic data into the bridge table model so that you have a single type of query. For the historic data each would have a single row in the bridge with a 1.0 BILL_PCT.
Best of luck,
Paul

Strange problem with color measure in Mac.

Hello, I am having a strange problem with color measure in Mac. For example i create a gradient in Photoshop from color 200 200 200 to color 240 240 240. When i measure the color of the gradient with the color measure tool of Photoshop or with the built in OS X color measure tool the measured color is from 200 199 197 to 240 240 238. I have measured the same gradient with Photoshop for PC and the values are OK (the same values that i create).
I dont know what is the problem, but i belive that the colors that i create would be the same that i measure after creating them, and also the same values between Mac and PC. I will appreciate it a lot any help or information that you could give me that helps me to understand what is happening here.
Thank you for your time
Marcelo.

Yep you got it, proof as monitor basicaly strips out any profiling and just delivers it straight.
is there any way to make the OS X color measure tool to measure the original color values
You mean the document colors - No, like I said photoshop is filtering your image through document profile, proof setup and monitor profile. Why do you want to use Digital color meter anyway for this?
i dont understand what is the point to measure color values that will change every time a calibrate my monitor.
Because color values are 'bigger' than whats on your monitor. Your monitor (via photoshop) is only doing the best it can to display those values - which can be anything from LAB colors outside the gamut of your monitor - to CMYK colors. Calibrating it is the only way to allow your monitor to do this in any way accurately. (not ever really possible) Monitors have a certain gamut and are only dispays/representations of the REAL colors that a document, with a profile, holds. So there's only one good reason to measure monitor values, and that's to generate a monitor profile.

Problem with waveform chart: time scale does not show time correctly

Hello,
I have some problems with a chart.
I want to display some data and the time between two single data can vary. It is something between 50ms and 500 ms.
The problems I have:
1. The time is not shown correctly in the chart (allways 2:00:10 instead of the current time)
2. the data points in the chart have a distance of 1 s (x-scale). That is not correct.
I have tried several things but I thinkt I am on the wrong track.
Could you please help me?

I have a data array and the last 10 seconds of the data are displayed.
The array size is maximum 150 and that is more than I need to display. If new data is inserted, the oldest gets deleted.

Measurement data and problem with path selection

Hello,
I have a problem with the measurement data function; My instrument is the "Hyoki 3532-50 LCR meter".
I´m tring to save the data in a text file using the "write to measurement file VI" . From the instrument i receive an array containing the data of the measure and then i use a for loop to obtain the single data obtainig the dynamic data necessary like input in the VI function.
The problem is that i receive ( for example) the Rp data and the Cp data in two separate moment and the result using the VI is something like
1 56
2 68
3 95
1 0,12
2 0,30
3 0,56
(this is a stupid example to explain my situation)
What i would like to obtain is
1 56 0,12
2 68 0,30
3 95 0,56
The fact that i can+t receive all the three dynamic data in the same moment present also the problem that i don´t have the possibility to save in a different file every time i start the measure but to do it i have to reset the labview program ( this is due to the fact that in the property i select "ask only once" because otherwise if i select " ask at each iteration" the second data flow overwrite the file) .
If you need some image from code i can provide them

You really need to attach some code. We are graphical programmers and don't undestand longwinded text explanation
Also the code images you attached earlier are useless. The abundance of local variables, stacked sequences, express VIs, and dead code make them impossible to debug by looking at a picture.

Error out problems with measuring frequency VI

Measure Frequency VI error.vi ‏27 KB

This VI does not have an error out. Obviously, you replaced a subVI that did have an error out with this one, otherwise you would not have been able to create this wire.
Simply remove the wire or save the subVI with another name then modify it to have the error out that you are looking for.
Hope that this helps,

Thank you for the response. I tried to fix the problem with some of the suggestions on that page, but none seem to work. I believe that is the only website that I'm having that problem on. I got to fooling with it a bit more and when I highlight the whole page and select to print the selected area, it actually prints the whole page then, but it won't do it as a default. I guess I can just do it like that from now on, but I thought there would be something in the settings that I could have changed. Thanks again for the help.

All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.

For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .
Exactly. It keeps a collection of the most recent 1000 photos in your Photostream Album on your iOS device. That's the limit of the displayed images on an iOS device. Not the upper limit of storage. It's like the call history. You can have more than 100 calls, but only the most recent 100 calls show on the device. You can still get your entire call history from your wireless carrier. And you can still download all of your Photostream photos from Photostream using iCloud Control panel on a PC, or the iCloud option in System Preferences on a Mac.

Look at your settings for the Write to Measurement File. You are telling it to save to one file, and then use next available filename. Try append to file.
Also, use Merge Signals to combine the 4 and write to a single Write to Measurement File. Right now you have 4 identical ones with the same file name. They are stepping all over each other.
When using the Write to Measurment File, try opening up the help file and reading it o understand what each setting does.

Problem with normalized frequency on fft

Greetings
I have a problem when working with vi fft Spectral measurements, when acquiring an analog signal , the frequency of this switch to a digital frequency affected by the sampling rate, and hence the frequency axis ( of a waveform graph) gives incorrect, how can I multiply the digital frequency by the sampling frequency to obtain the original analog frequency?
how can I save as a text file in 2 columns (frequency and magnitude in db)? I tried to write with 'WRITE measurement FILE' but shows a header file and the columns are time and value, there is another way to store this data?
thanks

greetings and thanks for answering
attached the vi I'm using, the questions are 2
1. How can I multiply the frequency of the signal by the sample rate to get the right analog frequency for example (if the sample rate is 1000 for a frequency of 60 Hz , i got 0.06 Hz observed on the waveform graph)
2. How can I get a flat file without a statement at the top with 2 columns frequency and magnitude db

Problem with intermittent sampling and writing to file(s)

I am describing the functionality that I am trying to achieve via the attached VI.
The VI opens with a sequence structure. In the first sequence step analog output voltages for 2 AO channels are set
The next sequence step consists of analog data acquisition
Custom linear scales for 3 input channels are specified, to convert input ‘volts’ to respective physical quantity being measured
The input voltage signal is with +/- 10V but the physical quantity (forces) are greater than 10N
The headers for the data files are created as strings
The acquisition is set for finite sample acquisition
The VI is set for periodic acquisition, wherein the data is acquired for specific time period given by ‘Sampling on’ and then ignored for time period specified by ‘Interval off’.
The VI is set to write instantaneous data to multiple files. Each time the While loop is executed the instantaneous data, number of samples read (sampling rate x Sampling on time), is written to a ‘.dat’ file.
Statistical operations on data collected for each While loop execution is performed. These values (average & st. dev) are then written to another file ‘*.sum’ with respective headers
The headers for the ‘*.sum’ file are written only for the first execution of the While loop
The VI is designed to run for a specific duration after which the execution of While loop is stopped
Certain safety features are incorporated to terminate the execution of the While loop if the ratio of measured quantities exceeds a preset limit.
In the last sequence the analog outputs are set to zero
I am having following problems with the execution of the VI:
The VI does not write instantaneous data to data files (*.dat)
The VI writes the averaged data for *.sum file for only the first execution of the While loop.
It also truncates the values to around 10.5 written in *.sum file. While implies that the custom scale is not working as intended.
I would really appreciate if you would tell me how to fix these bugs with the VI. I would really appreciate your help.
Have a happy holiday season.
Thanks,
Dinesh

Lynn, he may actually not be to blame for the diagram size. It does not change if you "clean" it, which leads me to believe that this is what he did. But a very entertaining diagram it is. A true case study :-)
Now, the strange thing is that stuff like this remains in it:
As Lynn said, the reason why the file is updated only once is that there must be an error after the first acquisition completes. The only way to figure out which one it is (in order to avoid or correct it) is to debug your code in situ (using a probe on the error wires). It might be because you try to restart your acquisition within the loop (you probably should stop it first if you really want to restart it anyhow). I would put the start out of the while loop and try this way. The error might occur elsewhere though or for another reason...
Since you recreate your dat file at each iteration, the second giving you nothing because of an (unknown) error, will essentially erase your first successful iteration.
I don't understand the truncation statement.
