TEDS vi

Hi guys, i have a SCC68 with a SCC-SG24 module together with a 6229 DAQ card and i want to perform torque measurements using transducers from Transducer Techniques.
Now, the first thing of course is to read up on TEDS and i realise my LV 7.1 do not have VIs as decribed in Figure 10a. The Top Level VI Palette of the TEDS Library for LabVIEW in http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4470 Thus, i was unable to run an view examples without these VIs.
What are the software and version i need to have these TEDS VIs?

Hi Atma,
Glad to hear you were able to get the library set up. In regards to your first question, the reason people typically want to write data to the EEPROM of their sensor is to update information about when the sensor was last calibrated. This way the calibration information is always available to whomever uses the sensor.
In regards to your second question, yes, you can use your TEDS enabled sensor as a normal task. TEDS enabled sensors essentially save you the trouble of having to setup the sensor specifications before you use it and help protect you against using the wrong specifications for your sensor.
If you would like to read more information about TEDS, I would recommend taking a look here.
I hope this information helps,
Paul C.

Using TEDS as storage for precision standards instead of transducers

My company makes and calibrates precision resistance, capacitance and inductance standards. These are not transducers, yet they posess calibration data that would benefit from 'internal storage'. Some data could event be represented as a polynomial or a table (capac vs. freq; resistance vs. temp)
Is there a standard like TEDS for 'source' components; or could TEDS be used to create a built-in datasheet? (Call it "SEEDS", Standards Equipped with Electronic Data Sheet ;-) .
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.
"You are what you don't automate"
Inplaceness is synonymous with insidiousness

Hello,
As of now, if there is such a standard, I am unaware of it. However, there may be a way to do something like this using TEDS. The IEEE 1451.4 (TEDS) standard does include an optional calibration section where different types of calibration data can be stored. So you may be able to utilize TEDS to store information about the resistors/capacitors/inductors. However, National Instruments software does not currently read in the calibration information and automatically process it.
Something else that could be considered is that along with the calibration section there is a user data section in TEDS format that allows the placement of ASCII data.
Also, with NI-DAQ 7.2, you have the ability to read in a bitstream from a TEDS sensor. So it is also possibl
e to develop your own format and read in the binary information and process it using LabVIEW. However, you would have to understand IEEE 1451.4, and how to write in the proper checksums, and then create your own TEDS sensor, but I do believe it is possible.
Interesting Idea! Keep them coming!

How to get sensitivity and units from TEDS

Hi.
First, I hope I have posted this in the most suitable board.
Recently I got involved in a project at my university as a programmer for a research group which study modal analysis. They are utilizing National Instrument measuring equipment and TEDS compatible accelerometers. This research group want to make measurements with a sensor array consisting of (around) 50 accelerometers. They want to make the measuremnts in MatLab with the session based interface in the data aquition toolbox.
The thing is that im developing an interface between MatLab and NI-DAQmx which can be utilized by my mex built-in MatLab functions (C/C++ language). Up until now I have been able to extract basic TEDS of several individual sensors and return this to MatLab as a MatLab struct. But I'm having trouble with getting information about the sensor type (accelerometer, microphone, etc...), the sensitivity of the sensor, and the physical units of sensitivity. This information I would like to use to auto setup channels in MatLab DAQ-toolbox, such that I only have to scan the array of available sensors, and then set each channel up in my MatLab-DAQ session.
I have been looking at functionality in the NI-DAQmx C reference -> C Properties -> Physical Channel Properties under TEDS. Here I found functionality for retreiving basic TEDS information which works great, furthermore I found functionality for retreiving the TEDS bitstream and templateID, but I'm having trouble decoding information. My reference for decoding information from the TEDS sensor is IEEE 1451.4 and The IEEE 1451.4 Standard for Smart Transducers but the data return from NI-DAQmx functions does not seems right.
In desperation for a solution to this problem I have looked at NI-DAQmx C reference -> C Properties -> Channel Properties which I didn't have any luck with either for retrieving the required information.
I have also been searching this forum and google for something that might give me hint on how to retrieve information and if neccesary decode the information required.
The reason for being so hardheaded about solving this problem is that, when I use NI MAX software to read sensors TEDS info, it is possible for NI MAX to retrieve information that I require. And to knwoledge is NI MAX using NI-DAQmx interface to communicate with the hardware, so this should not be impossible to do.
Hope someone can give me some hint on how to go around/solve this problem.

Kent

Can read TEDS in MAX but not with DAQmx VIs

Hi,
I have a cdaq 9181 with a 9234 accelerometer module. I have 3 teds equipped accelerometers connected to ai0, ai1, and ai2 repectively. In MAX, when I reserve the chassis I can read all three teds, no errors. When I do the same thing in labview (ie reserve the chassis, create a daqmx task, associate teds data with each physical channel, all with daqmx VIs) I can only read two out of three teds. The third one throws a "no teds sensor detected" error. This code has been in use for about four months now, though I just rewrote the calling VIs, and hasn't displayed this problem. I've attached a snippet of the task building VI for reference.
Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks.
Using LV2012 and MAX 5.3.1 running on Windows 7 32 bit.

Nope. That's a delete from array, length 1, index 3.
In any case, I eliminated that block since the string array wired to the for loop controls how many devices the VI attempts to configure. Same result, verified it was trying to configure ai2. Here's the updated snippet:

Refreshing TEDS

Hello!
Ive made a program that collects the information in TEDS sensors with an NI RIO 9233, the only problem is that when I change to another sensor or the direction of the sensor
I dont get any new results. Then I need to restart in the Measurment & Automation explorer.
So my question is if there are any function directly in labVIEW where I can either restart or refresh the configuration of the NI USB device?
I am a little bit new with labview so take it slow
best regards

Can I set up TED as a menu option?

My newly purchased Apple TV has a set of menu options, i.e. YouTube, Vimeo, etc, etc. but not TED. Is there a searc feature or another way to add TED as an option?

Thanks, I just realized that I use the Podcasts icon to get to TED.

I Ipod class wont play TED and other video podcasts. The genious bar could not figure out the problem. This problem is not isolated to a single computer. Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem.

My Ipod classic wont play TED, The Grid, Techzilla and other video podcasts (but not all video podcasts). The genious bar could not figure out the problem. Instead, the Apple store gave me credit towards a new classic, which produced the same problem. This problem is not isolated to a single computer. Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem. Lastly, I tried restoring the ipod to no avail. I've heard this is a video codec problem.

ITune won't transfer Video Podcast (TED talk video) to my ipod

Hi,
I had a problem lately: iTune will not transfer "TED talk" podcast video, it was working before. All my other podcast sync (and I verified that "TED talk" was checked in the sync tab) even when I transfer them manualy it won't copy to my iPod. The videos play on my computer. I tried to unsuscribe and resubcribed, nothing work. I really don't know where the problem come from but it seem that other had the same problem on windows...
iTune 9.0.2 (25)
Mac OsX 10.4.11
iPod classic 60 Gig (1.3)

Me too. I've read the work around, but it is kind of a PITA.
Right click on the video, click on covert to ipod, it gets converted and shows up under Movies in iTunes...drag and drop into the ipod.
It works for me, but is a problem.

New TED video podcasts not compatible with 80GB classic?

Up until recently, I've been loading TED podcasts (video) on my 80GB Classic with no problems. For the last 3-4, however, I'm being told that these most recent ones can't sync because they are not compatible with my ipod. For some reason they can't be viewed. Is anyone having this same problem? Is there a fix?
I have the most current version of iTunes, and I tried the Advanced tools.
Thanks.

Did the problem start just after updating to i-tunes V9?
Classic owners are having lots of problems since updating. Check out the threads for i-pod classics to see what I mean.

LabView TEDS library into DLL or ActiveX Control so that I can use it in C or Visual Basic?

We are developing software in LabWindows/CVI and Microsoft C. I heard that LabView can generate DLLs. Can I turn LabView TEDS library into DLL or ActiveX Control so that I can use it in C or Visual Basic development environment?

Technically what you are proposing is possible with LabVIEW. With LabVIEW's application builder, VIs can be built into dlls. Also, LV has ActiveX hooks and so you could create a system for calling into it from CVI. However, this is not what I would recommend.
The LabVIEW VIs have been written to a preliminary version of the IEEE specification (1451.4) that describes the TEDS data which is primarily why I'm advising you against using them. Once the IEEE spec is approved (the current timeline is currently late March), it will become public and you can write your own code according to the specification (or wait for someone else to write it). To help you get started, the spec includes flex and bison code that describes the syntax and structure of the template files
Internally, we've written some C, C++ and Java code to the preliminary version of the spec and we've found that we can duplicate the functionality of the TEDS Library for LV in roughly 2 weeks in any other language.

Missing subVI DAQmx Create AI Channel TEDS(sub_.vi DAQmx Create Channel( TEDS-AI-Voltage-Basic). vi.

Hi,
    I have seen several discussion regarding this topic, however it seems that none of the solutions are working for me. Here is my situation, i am using LabView 7.1 which I use to generate my .EXE, when I generate my .EXE I use the Tab Intaller Settings to generate the Setup.msi. I then take the folder which contains the .EXE and the installer and bring it over to another machine which is running VM Ware with a freshly installed windows XP. (to make sure nothing is on the machine and then i get surprise at the custormer's site)
   Once this was done, i would start by lauching the installer and then the .EXE the result was the following, I would get the following message:
Missing subVI DAQmx Create Task.vi in VI instance      1    3tst
.vi.
Missing subvI DAQmx Create channel (TEDS-AI-Voltage-Basic).vi

Missing subVI DAQmx Read(Analog 1D Wfm NChan nSamp).vi in

then as suggested in other discussions of this forum I download (537MB) and installed
on the target machine (VM Ware) the nidaq710 which i downloaded from
http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/C1F802E457EA042586256DD00001B0C9?opendocument&node=132070_US
This did solve some problems BUT I am still getting the following message when I launch the EXE
Missing subVI DAQmx Create AI Channel TEDS(sub).vi in VI DAQmx Create
Channel(TEDS-AI-Voltage-Basic).vi.
Thank you
Maldini

Hi Maldini,
Thank you for posting to the NI forums. Is the VM Ware PC using the same operating system as the development PC? Also, are you using DAQmx 7.1 on the development computer, or are you using a more recent version? When distributing applications, the driver version on the deployment PCs must match the driver version of the development PC.
If this is already the case, then you shouldn’t be receiving any of these error messages. There are few things that may fix this problem.
Reinstall the DAQmx driver.
Perform a repair install the DAQmx driver on the deployment computer.
Upgrade the DAQmx driver on both the development and the deployment PCs.
With Windows XP and LabVIEW 7.1, you are able to use the latest version of DAQmx, which is currently DAQmx 8.5.
After going through these steps, please post back if you continue to have problems.

What does DAQmx Create Virtual Channel (TEDS AI Accelerometer) actually do?

Hi all,
I have a basic vibration logging application for which I'm using TEDS enabled accelerometers. I'm configuring a task using the Create Virtual Channel (TEDS AI Accelerometer) to add the correct channels, but none of the data from the TEDS table appears to be getting pulled into my channels.
Does this VI pull scaling information from the TEDS such that the values I read out are scaled to the appropriate unit? Is there a way to force it to drag all the data from the TEDS through so that when I save a waveform to a tdms file they end up as channel properties?
I've included a screenshot of the VI that creates the task for reference. Thanks!

They are TEDS 1 accelerometers. I can actually see the entire TEDS table both in MAX and in my code (I read out the bitstream for my own amusement).
To collect the data I'm using a DAQmx Read N Chan N Samp - 1D Waveform. The output waveform array is wired directly to a TDMS write VI. The properties on the channel end up as shown in the attached image; note that no scaling information is carried thorugh.

Site list update not working with TED and Zenworks for Servers

Product: Zenworks for Desktops 7Sp1 and Zenworks For Server/TED 7Sp1HP5
Subject: Site list update not working with TED and Zenworks for Servers ,
all on Linux
Description: We have an exiting environment with 6 ZfS Servers and now we
brought up a new Server for another location. I configured all same as on
the other Server and the new one created all NAL-Apps at the new location.
But in the Application Site list on the golden App is this Application
missing. So I clicked on the Link up site list on the Distribution Screen
in C1. On ApplicationSite list the App from the new location is missing.
So I removed all and added the new from the new location and now i see all
in the application site list.When I install an app on the client on the
new location NAL is connecting alway th the same (wrong location-server
and i get an msi error 1612 or id=53272 with path=\Wrong serverpath to
file.
I looked on the other tab on C1 at the golden app an I see the backlinks
are going to all other servers without the new one. Software installation
on other locations are ok

Andreas,
I forgot to mention that you can also set the loging level on the Distributor and the Subscriber to 6. to do this at the Zenworks Server Management prompt type "setconsolelevel 6" if you want to capture this to the log file ted.log then use "setfilelevel 6"
Next delete the Distribution from the Subscriber and then re-push the channel.
What we are looking for here in the log is the creation of the object and the linking information about the gold object. it should look like this (not the failure part ;-))) )
In this excerpt you will see the entry

You can check this both ways in the Golden App and in the Distributed Application.
