Temperature control and monitoring?

I've been tempted to start some gaming on my mac pro, from what I've read so far, OS X SL doesn't have anything to monitor the temperature of GPU, nor does it have anything like catalyst to tune up the fan speed when needed as the GPU heats up.
I read about smcFanControl, does it work on a mac pro 5.1 running 64 bit kernel? If i decided to do some 3D gaming for games like COD or WoW, what sort of fan speed would I need to make sure that the GPU doesn't get fried?
If I were to game on boot camp windows 7, which drivers should I install beside the default bootcamp driver that comes with the SL installation DVD? I noticed there is a catalyst driver package specifically for mac boot camp, am I limited to this driver package or can I install the latest ATI catalyst driver package that are normally available for windows?
Anyone have any experience with gaming on a mac pro 5.1 with dual ati 5770 video card? Any tips would be great.
Appreciate for your help.

smcFanControl will run on a 5,1.
There's the free iStat Pro widget which give limited temperature info.
There the shareware iStat Menus which does give info (temps, sppeds, voltage, amps, power) for just about anything it can get at. One piece of info is the PCIe slot temp for the slot the video card is plugged into. It also has some fan speed controls as well.

Create Remote Control and Monitor VI

Hi all,
I have 2 VIs. One is PC Host VI and other is cFP2200 real-time running VI.
Now I can use PC host and cFP shared variable to control and monitor in the same network.
But I have a problem that I need 2 or more cFP in the same network.How can I seprate to control themone by one?
They are using the same program but set with different IP.
Does shared variables are using fix IP and can I type the cFP2000 network IP in PC Host VI to select different cFP?
How to do ?
Thanks.
Robert

Hello Robert,
You will need to use a separate shared variable for each cFP. You can create a Case Structure in your Host VI to select which shared variable to use based on which cFP you select. I think that's the simplest option for you.
There is also a way to programmatically change the data binding for a shared variable, but this requires the DSC Module. Take a look at this article if you want to check out this option: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2E8BAD0EA218A7558625712E0003F044?OpenDocument

Please help me with my electrical engineering homework : temperature control and watering system for greenhouse using labview and arduino

temperature control and watering system for greenhouse using labview and arduino
spesification :
1. max temp : 28 celcius (when temperature is more than 28 celcius, fan ON)
2. min temp : 20 celcius (when temperature is under 20 celcius, heater ON)
3. watering system : aquaponic (grow plant and fish in separate tank but connect each other). Plant roots help filter water for fish. Fish poop for plants fertilizer. So I need a pump to distribute water.
Please help me create VI file simulation.. I'm sorry I'm not fluent in English. May God bless you all

Web application, control and monitoring

Good moorning!
I'm developping a web application, to control and monitor several instruments, Fieldpoint and GPIB. I haven't found any problems yet (I'm not asking for help ), but I'd like to hear your experience in this field. I've just created a website (an ugly website, I recognize). And I'm learning how to open front panels on the web, and changing from one to another.
Do you have active websites with visible front panels from the web? Do they have public access?
Thank you in advance!

Control and monitoring of traffic lights

i am a student and new to graphical programming.i am using labview 6.1 to monitor and control a system of traffic lights from a central location.my problem is geting the lights to go on and off.

You asked the same question here and the answer is still the same. Provide some details on what exactly you're attempting to do and what specifically is the problem. That means details on what kind of hardware you're using to interface to the lights, any error codes being generated, etc. Posting your program would help as well.

Camera control and Monitor Software

Hi All,
Two questions, quasi-related.
First, does anyone know of any camera control software for Sony? I have a TR27 and an HDR FX1.
Second, does anyone have any experience with monitoring software? Specifically, I am looking at the Red Lightning DV Monitor software. It would be nice to go from the camera directly to the hard drive. Also, is there any software which lets you monitor more than one camera simultaneously?
Thanks. Any input/links would be helpful and appreciated.

They should produce the same EXACT version of the RAW file.
The profiles are meant to give approximately the same rendering concerning tone and color. You cannot render the exact same thing as Canon uses proprietary algorithms which Lightroom cannot use. The profiles just approximate those using Lightroom's RAW engine. Also they will only come close if you use default settings in your camera, so no highlight priority, no added saturation, etc. If you want the exact same thing, shoot jpeg or convert the RAW to tiff in DPP. That said, my experience is that the camera matching profiles come very close to out-of-camera rendering as long as you don't modify the styles.
I say they HAVE to, because otherwise who is right - who´s got the true colors (e.g. Faithful style is supposed to represent colors exactly if shot at 5200K, yet DPP Faithful differs from LR faithful????)
None of Canon's styles give accurate rendering. That is not what they are meant to do. They are meant to be visually attractive, which is very different from accurate. Faithful is not really scene referred correct color. See for some measurements of that on one of the more accurate cameras, the Canon 5D mk II, here. The way to get correct color, if that is what you are interested in, is to shoot a colorchecker chart and use Adobe's free DNG profile editor to generate a calibrated profile for your camera.
Also, is there a way to convert other picture styles one has created into Lightroom profiles perhaps through some use of DNG Profile Editor?
No. Would be neat, but is not currently possible without a lot of manual labor. You can shoot a colorchecker and by comparing the rendering in DNG profile editor to that in DPP visually and using the patch tools, you might be able to sort of get there but that is going to be very tedious. It would be nice if we were able to give DNG Profile Editor a different target than perfect rendering of the colorchecker, because right now, the only way to do it is visual.

PWM Actuator control and monitoring

Hi,
I am working on a personnal project and I need to control three (or maybe 4) linear actuators (fyi, dyadic SCN6 (uncertain as of now if i'll be using SCN6-020/040 or 060, but they are pretty much the same). (Spec Sheet: http://www.miraiintertech.com/home/downloads/Dyadic1003.pdf )
I do have some LabView skills, but i do lack some electronic skills to determine how to have LabView control those actuators.
I have a LabView Vi that i want to use to send some (help me here) PWM signals to control the actuators... I might need to monitor them as well to have a better control.
So my question as of now is, what do i need to do that, what kind of PWM controller/card (I don't have a clue), and can you provide me some knowledge regarding this technology.
Thank you very much,
Marc

Thanks for the reply,
After looking around, I might have to do it differently than i first expected.
I will use LabView to send position orders to the SCN6 actuators. From what i heard, I think i'll have to use some LabView compatible card with (analog) outputs, that then will then connect to somekind of servo-motor that then will be able to drive the actuators' motor according to my LabView's instructions...
PS: I said analog, because the guy i talked to said it might be better for me to send analog signals than doing PWM and sending the bit to change the direction
I really need help here, as you can see !

Thing is i dont know how to enable CPU fan control/regulation ifd possible. Doesn't realy see anything anything in the mobo manual except mentioning AMD Cool’n’Quiet.
This fan i have installed is running fine but i thk it runs full speed all the time and that makes a lot of noise - not needed.
Thx for any advice/tip/hint

40 °C is fine. The minimum fan speed can be set is a % of the full capacity.
Start with 12.5% and if the fan needs to adjusts it's fan speed too often and it get's annoying you can raise it to 25% or more.

Temperature controlled cooling for K7N2G - making a cheap and quiet sy

Hi!
My CPU and IGP fan speed is temperature controlled. The two fans in my PSU are very quiet. Beside these i have two fans blowing air into the cabinet and two fans blowing air out. At the moment I have the option to let them stay turned off, to give them 7V or 12V (by some switches).
Now I have decided to make these temperature controlled as well. If the temperature is below 25 degrees (or something) they are turned off after that they turn on at low speed and then their speed rises as temperature rises.
My question is now - where should I put the temperature sensors to control these fans?
I guess it should be somewhere on the motherboard but where? Perhaps close to the RAM or at the chipset? Perhaps on my harddisks or just under the PSU to give a good idea about the temperature in the cabinet?
I am also going to make some tunnels to make sure that the air coming from the fans gets to the right places (one should definitely go to my harddrives as they get pretty hot :-) )
Another idea I have is to use a CPU throttle program to make the CPU stay cooler when I don't need more than 50 percent of the CPU power. I don't know if this will help at all. I already have the idle bit set. I have just installed hmonitor which can do the trick with CPU throttling. If I set the CPU throttle to 50 percent and then loads the "Toast" program the CPU doesn't get much hotter but of course it is also only working at half its speed. If for instance playing demanding 3D shooters or doing other hard calculations I turn it off to get full speed - otherwise I could just as well have "down clocked" the CPU instead.
Does anyone else have experiense with CPU throttling?

Doesn't anybody know where the three temperature sensor diodes on the motherboard are placed on the motherboard?
Of course one of them is under the CPU but where are the two others placed?

Grid Control and SOA suite monitoring best practice

Hi there,
I’m trying to monitor a SOA implementation on Grid Control.
Are there some best practices about it?
Thanks,
Nisti
Edited by: rnisti on 12-Nov-2009 9:34 AM

If they use it to access and monitor the database without making any other changes, then it should be fine. But if they start scheduling stuff like oradba mentioned above, then that is where they will clash.
You do not want a situation where different jobs are running on the same database from different setups by different team (cron, dbcontrol, dbms_job, grid control).
Just remember their will be aditional resource usage on the database/server to have both running and the Grid Control Repository cannot be in the same database as the db console repository.

Firstly hello to all. I'm looking to create a vi that will take a single logged output from a thermocouple and monitor the temperature and produce a Boolean when the temperature has stabilised for a pre determined time say 1minuet.

Firstly hello to all. I’m looking to create a vi that will
take a single logged output from a thermocouple and monitor the temperature and
produce a Boolean when the temperature has stabilised for a pre determined time
say 1minuet. I have managed to find a couple of examples on the forum but one
will only run on V8.2 and I have V8, the other is for more than one channel
witch is fine I can always reduce this, but it was the timing feature I was
having difficulty with. I looking to monitor the temperature of a motor until
it has stabilised prior to testing and then to use this temperature as a
reference. Pleas forgive my ignorance if this is a very simple thing but I’ am
learning and really enjoying it. Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hi
Graham, thank you for you reply.
What I’ am trying to achieve is a vi I can use in a motor
testing setup, a part of this would be to warm the motor up until the exhaust
air temperature has stabilised, this takes approximately 10 minuets. I was
thinking of just letting the motor run for this time and leave it at this, but
some motors warm up quicker that others and. I am basically looking for a vi with
an adjustable temperature window of say ±5 C° in 1° increments, timing wise 1minuet
to 10min the adjustment is so I a can use this for another application. I tried
to adjust the code I found at the link below but had a little difficulty with
the timing. Thank you so much for your help it’s much appreciated.

Using LabVIEW for temperature control with AMREL SPS200-50-A022 power supply

Hi, I hope someone can help me out. I'm an ME undergrad with pretty much no knowledge of LabVIEW. I am working a project which requires a temperature controller. Previously, we were using an SPS120-10 power supply from AMREL and a grad student wrote a LabVIEW VI which performed feedback temperature control. The VI would acquire temperature from a Benchlink which acquire the temperature from a thermocouple. The VI also monitor the output voltage & current and determine the power output and heater resistance from those values. When a desired temperature is set, the VI compares the actual temperature to the set temperature and adjust the voltage/current setting to achieve the desired temperature. The VI was designed to keep temperature deviation to within +/-0.5 deg C. I'm not sure of the data refresh rate, but it's on the order of seconds since the system has a small thermal mass and we're operating in the 800+ deg C range. When we were using the SPS120-10, the device used GPIB for communication with the PC. Due to higher power output demand for the heater, we switched to an SPS200-50, which only has an RS-232 port. First of all, I was wondering if someone could help me modify the VI so that it could communicate with the SPS200-50 through the serial port? In addition, the drivers for the SPS120-10 and SPS200-50 might be different. If modifying the VI to communicate through the serial port isn't enough, I would need to figure out where to modify the VI with the SPS200-50 drivers, which is provided by AMREL. If anyone would like, I can send you the VI files so that you can take a look at the block diagram and tell me where to modify it. I'm still not 100% certain I understand how to read LabVIEW block diagrams.
Please let me know if you need any additional information. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have looked over your vi. First of all you have to do some changes in the "ARSPS Initialize.vi" See picture.
The best way to check instrument communication is to send the *IDN? Command. The instrument will indentify itself in response to this command. The vi I have included is a labview example. Use this Vi to test your communication. Do not progress before this is working. The VI is also an excellent example on how to set up and close down RS232 communication.
The VI "Tfeedbackpowercontroller-nolvdt-Dinh.vi" looks OK so I guess it will work then your RS232 communication with the SPS200-50-A022 is working
good luck
PS as mentioned before you will find all the RS232 details in the instrument manual
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

Absolutely!
Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
    Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
    Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
    School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
    Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
    Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
    Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
    Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.

How to give browse and monitor only options of an ICM script to a certain group?

I am looking for an option in the Feature Control Set, how to give "Browse and Monitor" only options for a certain group in our contact centre. If someone give me some clue, it would be appreciatable.

Hello Praveen,
This work at some point. But it's not resolving what I intend to do. When I give "Read Only" previledge, to the certain group, it won't be able to do other tasks what they do day to day. I am looking specifically to give read only previledge in the scripting level. Not at the configuration level.
Thanks.

Show separate documents on laptop screen and monitor

I just set up my new monitor and the screen is identical to the screen on my laptop. I purchased the monitor so that I could work with two separate documents at the same time--one on my laptop screen and the other on the monitor. How do I set this up.

R1200GS, welcome to the forum.
Since I don't know which OS you are using, I have given you the instructions for Win 7. I believe all you have to do is open the two documents that you want to view and move one of them to the other monitor. If the second monitor is on the right side (facing the screen), move the document to the right side and it should show on the second monitor. You will have to set this up in the Control Panel / Display / Change display settings. You should see Monitor 1 and Monitor 2. If you don't know which is 1 and which is 2, simply right click on one of them and select "Identify". This will momentarily show the numbers on the screen of the monitors.
