Subtract multiple channel blur masks in Premiere CC?

I'm making a portrait of a person, more or less a talking head and I want to smoothen everything in the picture except for the eyes and the mouth. I add the channel blur effect to the clip and draw masks around the eyes and the mouth. This makes the eyes and the mouth blurry, so I would want to inverse the effect keeping these parts sharp. But I can only inverse one mask? Is there a way to subtract the masks?

In premiere you can only inverse one mask.
For subtracting multiple masks you will have to go into AE.

Correcting blurred photos in premiere elements 11

I have checked several solutions to correcting blurred photos in premiere elements 11. Most of them turn out to be different versions and does not help me. I have had: in expert mode select photo, filter-other-high pass. I tried this and doesnt work. I believe if this is the way to correct blurred photos, I am missing a step somewhere. I have gone to enhance-adjust sharpness or unsharp. I must be doing something wrong. or can you correct blurred photo?

j strengh
What is the situation - I do not really see the typical 720 x 480 resolution vs HD resolution type of question. I am seeing it as a photo editing (sharpening) question which may or may not be related to further use of these photos in Premiere Elements 11.
Which of the following is applicable to your situation..
a. You have great looking photos saved on the computer hard drive, but, after you import them into Premiere Elements, they look blurry on the Timeline and you want to try to correct that
or
b. You have great looking photos, but, after you import them into Premiere Elements and burn them to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, the photos are blurry in the playback of the DVD-VIDEO with your TV's DV player
or
c. None of the above, rather you are trying to improve the sharpness of your photos in general using Photoshop Elements Full Editor/Filter Menu/Other/High Pass. If so, have you tried the Unsharp Mask under the Enhance Menu?
Consider the distinction between sharpening an image (contrast changes) and trying to correct a bad blur in the original.
From all that you have written, I suspect that this involves "c" and how to get the best results for sharpening an image in Photoshop Elements. If that is the case, you might seek input from the Photoshop Elements Forum here on that. Another possibility is that you may be creating pixelation in your images if you are up-sizing your images in the search for higher resolution and better quality.
Please give as much more detail to make sure that your question and its answer can be targeted correctly.
Please do not forget the follow up which is the key to success.
Thank you.

Script to auto zero channels in a TDM file with multiple channel groups

Hi friends,
I am trying to process some data but am having trouble modifying a script to autozero channels across multiple channel groups. The following script works to zero channels across one group. I use this script to process data in a TDM file with only one channel group. I need to be able to zero channels across multiple groups (5 groups). But the amount of groups I will have may change so I might need an option to enter the amount of groups or have the script determine the amount of groups in my TDM file.
Here is the code I use to zero the data. Thanks in advance for your help!
Sub UserDlg_Select
Call USERDLGINIT()
USERDLGCAPTION="Auto Zero Channel Based on Specified Points "
USERDLGTXT(5)="Number of points to Average"
USERDLGCOMMAND(5)="t1"
Call USERDLGOPEN()
End Sub
Call UserDlg_Select()
T2="1-"&T1
For I= 1 To ChnNoMax 'For all data channels except time
T4=CHNNAME(I) 'Create string for Channel name (I)
T3=ChnDim(T4) 'Create text variable for channel dimension
STATSEL(6)="Yes" 'Arith mean
STATCLIPCOPY="yes"
STATCLIPVALUE="No"
Call StatBlockCalc("Channel",T2,T4) 'Calculate Stats for Channel (I)
'Subtract Mean of first (T1) points for Channel (I)
Call FormulaCalc("Ch('temp1') := CH('"&T4&"') - statarithmean")
CHNCOMMENT("temp1")=("Channel zeroed over first "&T1)+"pts" 'Add Comment
ChnDim("temp1")=T3 'Add Dimension
CHNNAME("temp1")=T4+"-Z" 'Save updated data with -Z
'Delete Stat Channels
Call CHNDEL("ArithmeticMean")
Call CHNDEL("Sum")
Next 'End For loop

Hi rvillalta319,
Sounds like you'll need to adapt your code to use both a for loop and some implementation of the GroupCount variable (or ChannelGroups.Count) as seen here:

Data acquisition from multiple channels.

Hello
Right now, I am able to acquire the signal from a single load cell and display it.But I would like to know of how to acquire acquire signals from two load cells simultaneously.I am using Labview 6i and I am using AI S-Scan with AI config to acquire the waveform.It would be of great help if you could suggest a simple method to acquire the signals.
PS: Please find the attached file used for acquisition from a single load cell.
Looking forward for your reply.

Hi Manasa,
If I understand what you are trying to do, it is relatively
straightforward to configure your application to acquire data on two channels.
I was unable to run your vi as it was missing some of the subVI’s
from your application. However, your
attachment was sufficient to see what you are trying to do.
Here is how to add channels:
1.
In the I/O Channel Constant, you can add
additional channels by using a comma or a semi-colon. For example, to scan the first four channels
you would put 0:3 in the constant (see attached screenshot ChannelConfig.jpg). To scan the first and third channel you would
put 0,2.
2.
The AI Single Scan VI will now read from
multiple channels. Often it easiest to
configure the output of this VI for viewing by first putting the data into an
array using the Build Array VI. It can
then be plotted in a waveform graph. (see attached screenshot ReadtoGraph.jpg
and WaveFormGraph.jpg)
Just a few notes about “simultaneous” sampling:
Most of the NI data acquisition cards have a multiplexer
between the various input channels and the Analog to Digital (A/D) converter
creating a very small delay between each channel (usually ms range or
smaller). NI does make several data acquisition
cards that can perform true simultaneous sampling, meaning that there is an A/D
converter for each channel.
For the large majority of applications, the small delay
between channels is negligible.

How do I read multiple channels at one time using labview with the Fluke Hydra Data Bucket 2620a using serial port?

I need to take a reading of 15 channels about once a second. I can read one value at a time using the monitor function on the read values.vi driver, but this takes forever to read all the channels.

I don't have this instrument but I took a look at the instrument driver and it appears that you can only configure one channel at a time to read from. You might want to take a look at the command set for this instrument and see if it allows for configuration of multiple channels. It could be that the instrument driver just doesn't have that built in.

How to Read from multiple channels

Dear Sir
I am acquiring data using FP-RTD-122 using OPC Client software. I ahve made one socket for that and i am using command
CWDataSocket1.AccessMode = cwdsReadAutoUpdate
CWDataSocket1.URL = "opc://localhost/National Instruments.OPCFieldPoint/FP Res\FP-RTD-122 @1\Channel 0"
CWDataSocket1.Connect
v = CWDataSocket1.Data.Value
where v is a variant type.But this is 8-channel RTD so how can i read values from all channels using single socket connection Because at presnt i have to use 8 sockets for all eight channels.

At least as of FieldPoint 4.0 and earlier (I do not know about 4.0.1 or later), the OPC Server did not support multiple channel analog items. Thus to read all eight channels of a FP-RTD-122 module, you would need 8 separate socket connections. For discrete modules (boolean), the "All" tag, is treated as a single 8 or 16 bit number.

What is the recommended way to do multiple channel, single point sampling for control with an NI PCI-6255 in RLP?

Hello,
I am writing a driver for the M-series NI PCI-6255 for QNX. I have downloaded the MHDDK and have all the examples working. I have also enhanced the examples to do interrupt handling (e.g. on AI_FIFO interrupt or DMA Ring Buffer interrupt). My ultimate goal is to write a driver that I can use for closed-loop control at 500 Hz using all 80 channels of the NI PCI-6255. I may also need to synchronize each scan with a NI PCIe-7841R card for which I've already written a driver. I want an interrupt-driven solution (be it programmed I/O on an interrupt or DMA that generates an interrupt) so that the CPU is available to other threads while the 80 analog inputs are being read (since it takes quite a while). I also want to minimize the number of interrupts. Basically, I will need to collect one sample from all 80 channels every 2 milliseconds.
There are many different options available to do so, but what is the recommended technique for the NI PCI-6255 card? I tried using the AI FIFO interrupt without DMA, but it seems to interrupt as soon as any data is in the AI FIFO (i.e. not empty condition), rather than when all 80 channels are in the FIFO, so more interrupts are generated than necessary. I tried using DMA in Ring Buffer mode to collect a single sample of 80 channels and interrupting on the DMA Ring Buffer interrupt, which appears to work better except that this technique runs into problems if I cannot copy all the data out of the DMA buffer before the next AI scan begins (because the DMA will start overwriting the buffer as it is in ring buffer mode). If the DMA is not in ring buffer mode or I make the ring buffer larger than one 80-channel sample then I don't have a way to generate an interrupt when one sample has been acquired (which I need, because I'm doing control).
I saw something in the documentation about a DMA Continue mode in which it looks like you can switch between two different buffers (by programming the Base Count/Address with a different address than the current address) automatically and thereby double-buffer the DMA but there is no real documentation or examples on this capability. However, I think it would work better than the Ring Buffer because I could interrupt on the DMA CONT flag presumably and be copying data out of one buffer while it is filling the other buffer.
Another option would be DMA chaining, but again, I cannot find any information on these features specific to the NI DAQs.
I tried interrupting on AI STOP figuring that I could get a single interrupt for each scan, but that doesn't appear to work as expected.
I know that DAQmx on Windows has the ability to do such single sample, multiple channel tasks at a fixed rate so the hardware must support it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Daniel Madill

Hello,
The interrupt that will happen nearest the times that you need is the AI_Start_Interrupt in the Interrupt_A group. This interrupt will occur with each sample clock. By the second time this interrupt fires, the AI FIFO should have the samples from the first conversion. If it is easier to use programmed IO, you can read the samples out of the FIFO until you get all 80.
Additionally, you can set the DMA to send samples as soon as the FIFO is no longer empty...instead of waiting for half full or full. This change will reduce latency for your control loop. You can set AI_FIFO_Mode in AI_Mode_3_Register to 0. By the second time this interrupt fires, you should be able to check how much data is in the DMA ring buffer and read the 80 samples when they are available. You can make the ring buffer larger than 80 samples if you see data getting overwritten.
There is no interrupt associated with 80 samples being available in the FIFO or 80 samples being available/transferred by DMA to the host. X Series has much more flexibility with these interrupts.
I hope this helps!

How would you apply different calibrations to multiple channels

I'm attempting to apply calibration data to multiple channels. The calibrations could have been done at different times for different channels and could be using different fits. I think I have a solution for just applying the calibration information to one channel. I'm posting the solution for one channel in this post. In the next post I will include the multi-channel problem I'm working on. I had to add txt onto the initial file in order to post this.
Thanks in advance.

Apply Calibration One Channel.vi ‏138 KB

Thanks for the links John. I just logged on to post my working solution so I haven’t had a chance to look at them yet.
I’ve been working on this problem and have come up with the below attachment. I believe the logic is correct, but do not know if this is the most efficient way of doing this. I start by reading the calibration information in my ini file for only the channels that I am collecting data for. This is accomplished by the case structure enclosed in the for loop. The calibration values are stored as variables so I don’t have to read them with each data point I collect. I then start the data collection within my while loop. As I collect the data I pass it through a for loop where I apply the calibration curve to it and pull the calibration variables from the 2nd case structure. I’m using a for loop for this so I can index the wave files and apply the correct calibration information to each one. The channels and sections will be inputs to this vi from the choose channel vi.
John I don’t know if this is better or worse than what you are suggesting. I will read the links you sent me.
Does anybody have any comments on what I’ve put together?
Thanks, Eric

Counter to measure frequency with multiple channels (Analog In/Out) in one vi

Hi,
I am using DAQ 6062E. I have multiple channels: an Analog In, Analog Out, Count Edges, and Count Frequencies. Without Count Frequency, the program works fine, I have defined a Sample Clock for each channel and then a common sampling rate. When I add Count frequency channel, I am not able anymore to use Sample Clock, since I get an error that Sample Clock can not be used, and if I change the Sample clock of the Count frequency to Implicit, then I can not connect different channels with a same sampling rate. In the attached file, if the Count Frequency is not connected to any Sample clock and sampling rate, the program works, but now I can not run the program for more than 5-10 Hz sampling rate, otherwise I get the error: 209802 “occurred at DAQmx wait for next sample clock, slow down the sample clock”. Does anybody know how to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot,
Azadeh

Hi Otis,
Thanks for looking at the problem. I ran just two counters in a same vi. I was not able to use the Sample Clock since I needed to define an external sample clock source. The vi is attached. I could run this vi fast (200Hz). So, I am not sure why when two counters are combined with AI/AO the rate is very slow. I have attached three vi(s). Just two counters, AI/AO/1 counter, and AI/AO/2 Counters vis. I am able to run the vis in 200 Hz except the vi with AI/AO/2 counters (maximum sampling rate 20Hz). I appreciate if you can look at it if I am missing something.
Thanks,

Multiple channel sampling and write file

Hei,
I wrote a interface which is supposed to allow me to plot multiple channel and write all those datas in a file ; The problem is that :
1- not all the curves are plot in my graph (in fact just one is ploted).
2- At the same time it write in a file but after some times it stoped due to an error : buffer size...related to the offset.
I have attached the vi, I don't understand exactly where those problems are comming from and how to solve them easily.

Acquiring Analog Input from Multiple Channels in Labview

Hello,
i am working on a VI where i need to acquire signals from multiple channels in Labview using NI-9129.Initially i want to acquire contineous input signals (voltage and current) and display it on the graph.
Having looked at forum and Labview examples i tried to make an initail VI but i am not sure if the setup i made needs any modification to serve my purpose.I am fairly new to Labview software.
All i want is
1.To acquire conteneously current and voltage
2.Display current and voltage individually on the graph.
3.Perform some basic calculations like MAXIMUM,MINIMUM and AVERAGE values of voltage and current.
4.Log the data into excel file
I have attached the VI i made so far.i need abit of advice if i am moving in the right direction or not.
Thank You for having a look at my question.

Is it practically possible to acquire data from 4 different channels and plot them.if yes,then am i right to assume that all i need is to modify the current VI for four channels having all of them in parallel.
Yes, you are logging directly to a TDMS file. This is definately the best route for data logging from a DAQ. The currents and voltages will show up as different channels in the same group.
To add more channels, just add them to your DAQmx task. The logging will handle it with no issue. Your calculations will also a little work to add the extra channels. Same for the graphs, since you are using seperate charts.

Multiple channels acquisition and Number of samples per channel

Hi,
I'm a new labview user and I need some help in trasposing an old traditional NI-DAQ acquisition software in a NI-DAQ-mx one.
I followed the tutorial (#4342) but I found a problem with Analogue 2D DBL Multiple Channels Multiple Samples DAQmx Read Vi.
I'm trying to acquire 8 voltage signals from a NI-USB-6341 device. When the Number Of Samples Per Channel I set is below the number of channels (8), the software acquires only a number of channels equal to the number of samples per channel I set.
Is that a normal behaviour?
Thank you

This is my code. The problem is the same with or without the code for the scan backlog indexing.
Tomorrow I will try with the code from the example.

I recieve the appended error message when attempting to use DAQmx Read in my VI. LabVIEW is telling me that I am attempting to read a single channel when my task is configured for multiple channels. However, as you can see in the task configuration pane, that is not the case!

This is exactly why I ALLWAYS hide my DAQ Tasks inside a "Resource Module"
As I use the term a "Resource Module" is a special case Action Engine tha exposes only that subset of functionality that a specific project needs to take on a given resource external to LabVIEW. And, it provides a single point of entry to access that resource by keeping private data private. Had you used the technique here you would have had one vi to look at. and, there likely would have been no "Reconfigure to add channel" method available to cause trouble.
