Thermocouple readings not accurate SCXI 1122-1322

Hi, I have an issue with reading thermocouple temperatures using my SCXI-1122 module and 1322 thermocouple block (K-type thermocouples). I am also using a laptop to run LabView and a DAQ-6062E card to communicate. I have fiddled with the Measurement & Automation set-up to communicate with my LabView program and I believe that this is the root of my problem. I have run the program on other computers and NI lab-stations and it has worked, but it is not working with this particular computer or mobile labstation. Hopefuly this is an accurate description of my issue.

Had a look at the DAQ express vi that performs your temperature acquisition
It would help us answer better if you could describe: How much variations are you observing in the measured to the actual temperature?

  • SCXI-1122 Thermocouple System

    I have thermocouples hooked into a SCXI-1122 module. Using virtual channels in MAX, I am able to see all the voltages correctly. Also, by specifying each individual thermocouple in LabView (e.g. ob0! sc1! md4! 1) I am able to see the voltages correctly. When I read more than one thermocouple using the syntax (ob0! sc1! md4! 1,2) I am able to see the correct voltage for only the first thermocouple in the list. I would like to use bulk addressing to read all 16 thermocouples at once (ob0! sc1! md4! 0:15) but it does not show any voltages correctly. I suspect this is a simple configuration problem. Any insight?

    Hello;
    You are seeing incorrect values probably due to a too low interchannel delay. If you don't specify the interchannel delay of your application, NI-DAQ will set the lowest value allowed, and sometimes that value is too low for the application.
    You can change the interchannel delay value at AI Config.vi.
    Hope this helps.

  • My scxi 1122 produces noise when I try to measure a termocuple signal, Is it right?

    I'm using module scxi 1122 connected to Lab-PC-1200/AI, and a terminal block 1322.
    The jumper W1 is in position 2 "B A R0", in the lab-Pc I'm using the RSE input configuration.
    I'm measuring with SCXI Temperature Scan

    You will want to use the best measurement system to take your thermocouple measurements. The following Knowledge Base article covers our recommended hardware to perform thermocouple measurements.
    What is the Recommended NI Hardware for Thermocouple Measurements?

    While the SCXI-1122 is not mentioned in this article, you may still use it to perform thermocouple measurements. You may want to consider using the differential input mode instead of RSE. Differential mode is the best method when acquiring from a floating signal source such as a thermocouple. DIFF mode does the best job of reducing noise and rejecting unwanted common-mode voltage.
    Additionally, there is a
    n excellent Application Note available on our website which covers approaches to noise reduction and elimination.

  • Trouble changing gain setting on SCXI-1122

    Attempting to change module gain using MAX 3.0.1 or the SCXI_Set_Gain function of nidaq32.dll with LabVIEW 6.1 generally has no results. Occasionally a gain change through MAX is accepted if the SCXI Chassis is turned off and back on after the gain change is made. The SCXI-1122 module is in slot 1 of an SCXI-1000 chassis and is connected to a PCI-6031E card. Operating system is Windows XP. Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

    Dear DTI1
    Thank you for choosing National Instruments Support!
    The SCXI 1122 does not allow you to choose the gain -- even though the documentation says "Programmatically Selectable". What this actually means is that when you specify a range to acquire, the NI-DAQmx driver will decide what gain to set.
    You can however get access to this gain value by using property nodes. Hence, if your range is constant, the gain will remain the same, no matter where you try to change it.
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks and Regards

    I'm (being lazy and) using the older RT app posted on your last thread. I removed the
    TimeNow timer from the RT class and used System.currentTimeMillis (as you requested) to
    determine the elapsed time during the animation (see "startTest", "stop" and
    "movingObject" methods). Also changed the DecimalFormat to NumberFormat and set the
    "maximumFractionDigits" to "2" so it will truncate the fraction to two digits (more simple
    than before). Made arrangements for the ShapeMovingPanel class to update the
    "timerJTextField" during the animation (RT.updateTime method).
    The MouseMotionListener is causing the animation to appear jerky and uneven. The
    "mouseMoved" method is very busy while the mouse is moving. You might consider recording

    is attempting to click inside the moving shape. It would allow the app to be more
    responsive and might eliminate the uneven motion of the animating shape.

  • How do I rename one wrongly identified photo in Faces? I seem to only be able to merge two stacks of photos to the correct name, but that is not accurate. I only have one photo in a batch under a certain name, that is wrongly identified.

    How do I rename one wrongly identified photo in Faces? I seem to only be able to merge two stacks of photos to the correct name, but that is not accurate. I only have one photo in a batch under a certain name, that is wrongly identified.

    In iPhoto '11: Select the photo in the "Faces" stack, open the "Info" panel, click on the face name in the "faces" brick and then on the name below the face to edit the name.

    hello there! i am using Adobe acrobat pro DC and using windows 8.1. Recently I was trying to convert a web page (includes Greek letters) into PDF. I noticed that the conversion is not accurate, some words are missing, some are misplaced. Especially Greek words are not accurately converted or even not converted. Please give me some suggestions to improve this issue. Regards

    Hey quantum info,
    Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
    Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
    How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
    Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page"  option in Acrobat.
    Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
    Hope to hear from you.
    Regards,

  • Search results are not accurate

    hi,
    am facing a unique issue in SP 2013. Whenever we search for a search criteria the results returned is not accurate always. Every time we navigate across pages, the search results change which is not
    a desired behavior. However we also noticed that the refiner panel does not change as well and it retains the old count which leads to inconsistent results when user selects a criteria from the refiner.
     any pointers /  helpful links  regarding this issue, if any anyone has surfaced,  is highly appreciated!  
    Das

    Hi,

  • Reduce noise on thermocouple readings on NI PCI-6225

    Hello All
    I have a problem with what appears to be static electricity induced noise on thermocouples.
    We are testing with a sand like medium flowing across a plexiglass window and measuring temperature in the flow. The interaction of the air/sand mixture flowing across the plexiglass creates a significant amount of static and our thermocouple readings are severly impacted. Is there a way to filter the signal so my data and signal analysis tools ignore obvious off-scale readings ?
    The filtering i see seems to only apply to high freqency noise. I would like to trim the signals from the TCs to ignore any measurements above 700DegF and below 32Degf.
    Thank you
    Solved!

    Hi AeroEng,
    It might be helpful to see what the current state of your acquisition VI is - just to get an idea of your overall architecture. I can think of a couple of alternatives.
    You could do some external signal filtering to get rid of the extra charge on your thermocouple wires - refer to this very helpful White Paper on the topic of Wiring: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3344/en/
    As far as software-defined filtering, you could use the In Range and Coerce function (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/glang/in_range_and_coerce/) on your data and use the boolean output to hide your actual data or simply coerce it to your MAX/MIN values
    Hopefully this helps!

  • File.exists() is not accurate on smb2 network share (use WatchService?)

    Hi,
    According to this document: SMB2 Client Redirector Caches Explained File.exists() is not accurate on a smb2 network share. I am not able to change any register settings, so I want to deal with it. According to the document there is an API to get the notifications from the file system. I assumed that the WatchService is the Java implementation of this API. Am I correct?
    I started with the WatchDir example from the jdk samples and stripped it a bit. I only need to know when a file is created and delete (I don't care about file modifications). For testing I have added new File.exists() when a new event has been triggered. I also start a separated Thread which test the file existence also. When I don't start this separated thread the file exists returns true immediately. When the extra thread is started it is not accurate any more. I need a more accurate file.exists check in the whole application and all running threads.
    The output for my test case is this:
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    watch registered for dir: subdir\
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    WatchDir event: ENTRY_CREATE: test.txt
    WatchDir: subdir\test.txt exists == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == true
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == true
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == true
    FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == true
    As you can see the file test.txt  is created on line 9. The FileExistsThread have seen it on line 20, (at least 10 x 300 ms later).
    For testing I have used 2 Windows 7 pc's (with smb2 enabled which is default). The working directory must be on the remote pc and the file test.txt must be created (or copied from another folder) on the remote pc (not using the network drive, but on the pc itself).
    Here is my test code:
    package nl.test.main;
    import static java.nio.file.StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_CREATE;
    import static java.nio.file.StandardWatchEventKinds.ENTRY_DELETE;
    import static java.nio.file.StandardWatchEventKinds.OVERFLOW;

    import java.nio.file.ClosedWatchServiceException;
    import java.nio.file.FileSystems;
    import java.nio.file.Path;
    import java.nio.file.Paths;
    import java.nio.file.WatchEvent;
    import java.nio.file.WatchKey;
    import java.nio.file.WatchService;
    public class WatchDir
      private final WatchService _watcher;
      private final String _dir;
      public WatchDir( String dir ) throws IOException
        _dir = dir;
        _watcher = FileSystems.getDefault().newWatchService();
        Paths.get( dir ).register( _watcher, ENTRY_CREATE, ENTRY_DELETE );
        System.out.println( "watch registered for dir: " + dir );
      public void run()
        try
          while ( true )
            WatchKey key = _watcher.take();
            for ( WatchEvent<?> event : key.pollEvents() )
              WatchEvent.Kind<?> kind = event.kind();
              if ( kind == OVERFLOW )
                continue;
              @SuppressWarnings( "unchecked" )
              WatchEvent<Path> ev = (WatchEvent<Path>)event;
              Path fileName = ev.context();
              System.out.println( "WatchDir event: " + kind.name() + ": " + fileName );
              if ( kind == ENTRY_CREATE )
                String realPath = _dir + fileName;
                System.out.println( "WatchDir: " + realPath + " exists == " + new File( realPath ).exists() );
            key.reset();
        catch ( ClosedWatchServiceException x )
          return;
        catch ( InterruptedException ex )
          return;
      public static void main( String[] args )
        Thread t = new Thread( new Runnable()
          @Override
          public void run()
            try
              while ( true )
                String filename = "subdir\\test.txt";
                boolean fileExists = new File( filename ).exists();
                System.err.println( "FileExistsThread: " + filename + " == " + fileExists );
                Thread.sleep( 300 );
            catch ( InterruptedException e )
              e.printStackTrace();
              return;
        t.start();
        try
          new WatchDir( "subdir\\" ).run();
        catch ( IOException e )
          e.printStackTrace();
    Any idea's?
    Thanks,
    Olaf

    If you donot have access to note 45172.1 as specified by Laurent Schneider.
    Snippet from note
    a. Mapped Drive : To use a mapped drive, the user that the service starts as
    must have setup a drive to match UTL_FILE_DIR and be logged onto the server
    when UTL_FILE is in use.
    b. Universal Naming Convention : UNC is preferable to Mapped Drives because
    it does not require anyone to be logged on and UTL_FILE_DIR should be set to
    a name in the form :
    \\\<machine name>\<share name>\<path>
    or
    "\\<machine name>\<share name>\<path>"

  • Freeway traffic data is not accurate in Seatte Area

    I'm finding in Seattle area (I5, 520, I90, 99) that the traffic data is not accurate.
    I've seen it on a few occasions now when I'm picking a route to avoid conjested areas that sometimes I've had to go along a RED freeway and found it to be open and problem free.
    How often is the data updated - how old is it ?
    Is there a way on the iPhone to get the Maps app to refresh its data

  • When i print out a color photo the colors are not accurate

    I have a new envy110 series CQ811A. I have a windows 7 64-bit laptop. There are no error messages and the Envy works great but when i print a picture off of a web site the colors are not accurate and i mean none of them. i have returned one printer already but this one is doing the same thing. i really like this printer but if it won't print the colors correctly  i don't know what i will do. I also have a HP C4280 All In One Photo Smart and whatever is printed off the colors are great it just is not wireless. I have tried everything and nothing helps. Is there a solution

    Hi easyneez5!
       Sorry to hear it's not printing web pages so well.
     I do have a suggestion, that may or may not align with the way your are used to printing web pages; HP has a new and improved application for printing web page content; HP Smart Print.
       It's supported on IE (most versions) and can do some neat tricks: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/partner/microsoft/bing-bar-for-hp/smart-print.html
      There are also other potential 'tweaks' you can try in the [Printing Preferences] / [Advanced]: Image Color Managment; You might try setting it from 'ICM Handled by Host System' (default) to 'ICM Handled by Printer' or even 'ICM Disabled'.
       Again, this is merely a potential way to check to see if this helps get those colors right; and remember your settings before you change them.
      Hope this helps

  • Location found is not accurate.

    Location found is not accurate. It appears to be several blocks off. This is in a large city. Why would this happen?

    Depends on the device.  If it relies on wifi, then the router must be properly "registered" with its location in order to have the device located.  The router's location may be off.  If the device has GPS then the location should be accurate, although at times my location is a little off when my iPhone is travelling.

  • Lightroom 4.0 Lat/Long not accurate enough

    The latitude and longitude conversion in LR 4.0 map is not very accurate.  I plan to use this feature extensively and right now the accuracy is marginal.
    I enclose a screen shot that shows the problem.    The first point is labelled: "Placed at right location in Google Earth".  This point was placed in GE
    exactly on that spot.  Its coordinates are: 42.601830, -5.581437.  The second point is labelled "Same location converted from LR 4.0".  I placed that
    point in LR 4.0 at the exact same location as the first point.  LR marked that position as: 42°36'7" N 5°34'53" W which I hand-converted to
    42.60194444,  -5.58138888.  The second arrow to the NE of the first is placed at that location.  Close but no cigar.  That makes your photo placement
    feature in LR 4.0 not accurate enough for many uses.  I have a KMZ that shows all this but I couldn't figure out how to submit it.
    I'm glad to have the chance to use LR 4.0 which I like.  I use LR all day long and have for years.

    This looks like an instance of the bug described here:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/non_urban_latitude_longitude_search_ wildly_inaccurate_in_lightroom_4_beta
    Please visit that post and add your opinion and vote. 
    Details:
    It appears that LR 4 beta uses the Google Maps API to reverse geocode the original GPS location to the nearest named entity, such as a street address, and then uses the location of that entity to tag the photo, rather than the original GPS location.
    In your example, this is what Google Maps shows when you search for 42.601830, -5.581437:
    The green arrow is the exact location, and the red "A" is the nearest named entity, Plaza de San Marcos, 4.  When you search for that GPS location in LR 4, it shows the location of the named entity (the red "A" above), rather than the original GPS location:
