Timing / buffering problems

Hi, I am trying to operate the SRS SR400 photon
counter using LabView. I have an optical chopper as the external
trigger and I am using both channels A and B in a gated way. Basically
I can get the photon counter to operate perfectly, but if I collect
only one data point at a time in Labview, the data displayed is that
recorded on the photon counter 7 counts previously. If I ask LabView to
record say ten counts, I generally get 9 of the same number repeated
(the same number which appeared on the SR400 7 counts previously) and
the a random 0 or 6. I am using a new NI USB-GPIB card to interface the
PC and SR400. I am sure the problem lies in some buffering or
handhsaking issue, but I'm relatively new to LabView and can't figure
it out. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
The code I'm using is attached

SR400 Read_e2.vi (130 kb)

Greetings efcloos
I don't know which discussions Khlume was referred to. However, I looked for the driver in the NI website and noticed that it is not NI certified. Which means the driver is probably incomplete and hasn’t been tested. So what I did is find some discussions related to the driver:

  • Some layers in Photoshop cannot be seen, is this a buffering problem?

    Some layers in Photoshop cannot be seen, is this a buffering problem?

    Maybe these layers' visibility has been disabled. That'll be the case if there's a space where there normally is an eye to the left of a layer name in Layers panel. Click the space/eye to toggle visibility.

  • Buffering Problem?

    9-10 seconds into every song, it appears there is a buffering problem as the song doesn't really skip as much as it garbles. I have updated audio drivers, Active X, deselected sound enhancer, tried small-med-large streaming buffer size, removed Musicmatch and disabled WMP playback. If anything, the problem intensified after installing updates? Any feedback?

  • MIRO document Number range buffering problem

    Dear all,
    My MIRO document number is not following the sequence. if my first 5 numbers come in a sequence, then the next 5 numbers are not coming in between. Instead, the next 5 numbers are coming. It might be due to number range buffering problem. How to find the number range object  for  MIRO document number range?
    How to solve this?
    Please suggest.
    I will award full points.
    Thanks & Regards,
    AR

    Hii,
    You can search the Number Range object in T-Code: SNRO
    The Number Range object for Invoice document is RE_BELEG
    Go the Change Mode of the Number Range Object in SNRO, remove the No of Numbers of Buffers (by default it will be 10).
    This will resolve your issue.

    Hi, Does this happen after you have restarted your system?
    Do both of your browsers see the Flash logo animation here? If so then Flash Player is working correctly. I don't use Tree so am not familiar with it. Perhaps someone else will post to your thread with more info.

    Hi,
         I am trying play a real time audio received from server. I am using custom DataSource and sourcestream to cretae player and I observed that the when the data is given to the player through the read method player is not playing the data until it reaches 2 secs(approx).

    buffering problem.
    This episode is, audio wise, out of sync with the
    video output and the video seems as if it is
    skipping, or buffering making a distorted, skipping
    video.
    Very hard to digest.
    I set all components (updated DirectX, Disabled 3D,
    set GDI only, in system made sure DMA is on, etc.)
    and since all other iTunes' video's play back
    fine, I am wondering what else there may be to do
    short of redownloading the vidoe which I may not be
    able to do.

  • Severe buffering problems when streaming

    In the past couple of days, I have begun experiencing severe buffering problems when streaming video on the web. The video plays for like 6 seconds and then it pauses for like 6 seconds and continues this pattern over and over. This problem occurs regardless of which web browser I am using. I know the problem is not caused by the internet connection because I did a speed test and it is currently operating at 12mbps.  I have tried streaming video on another computer and it worked fine.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Lovefilm buffering problem

    Hi – can anyone help me please? I had BT Infinity 2 unlimited installed about two weeks ago and it’s great for internet surfing as I’m getting an average of 20 - 30mbps. However when I watch Lovefilm on my Sony blu-ray player I’m getting buffering problems. The player displays the amount of mbps and it seems to go up and down wildly – from 30mbps down to about 0.5 when everything grinds to a halt. After a short time the mbps rate goes up and the film continues. It only happens during busy times, with Sunday afternoon/evening being the worst. I’ve tried using an ethernet cable to connect to the home hub but that hasn’t really helped, nor has switching it (the hub) off and on again. A friend has suggested buying a better router but I would’ve thought the BT kit would be ok. Any help/advice appreciated!

    Thanks for the advice. The Glasnost test came back all clear and the details are here: http://loki09.mpi-sws.mpg.de//bb//glasnost.php?pro​tocol1=FlashVideo&protocol2=control%20flow&port=80​...
    As you suggest, I'll try testing the download speed when the blu-ray player slows down to see if it's the player itself that's causing the issue - though I've checked the firmware and everything is up to date.

  • VMS Client Channel Buffering Problem

    I just received my new Verizon VMS system which includes 2 client units.  I hooked everything up and all was working as it should except that when watching live TV on the two client units, it will not buffer two different TV channels and allow me to switch back and forth between these two channels and rewind, fast forward or pause.  It will only buffer one channel and when I switch to another, the original channels buffer is gone.  I could do this on all three of my standard HD DVR boxes before swithcing to the VMS and this was a huge feature for me as I like to watch multiple shows or sporting events simultaneaously.  I called support and after about 90 minutes they could find no problem or find any solution other then to send me a new VMS.  The odd thing is when they looked at all of the tuners being used, tuners 3 annd 4 were never getting used.  The odder thing is that it seemed to work properly on one of the client boxes until they did a cold init and then that one also stopped allowing 2 channels to be buffered.
    Should I be able to buffer two seperate channels on the client boxes as well as the main VMS box or did they for some awful reasone take this feature away from the clients??
    Thanks,
    Eric

  • I can help with a buffering problem in a video-based eLearning..

    Hello,
    I hope I can give a little back here for once.  : )   I have a video-based eLearning that is hosted on a LMS that has been giving the users with low bandwidth a lot of problems.  I was doing some testing with Chrome Dev Tools today, and I think I find some info that could be of use to some people.  The eLearning is hosted on Moodle.
    Here is what I found :
    Contrary to what I believed, the Chrome browser (and it is probably the same with other browsers) will not download all of the files, or at least not all of the video files in a SCORM packet without the user first interacting with that video in some way.  As you see in the graphic, I first arrived at the intro video shortly before 2.5 minutes, and only then did the browser begin downloading this video.
    At about three minutes, see red line, I used the forward button to jump to the next video, and because the browser was not yet finished downloading the intro video, it was downloading two simultaneously.  This is when I started experiencing a buffering issue.
    A few seconds later, I used the slider in the progress bar to move to the 4th video, see blue bar, which "set off" the third video as well.  At this point my browser was trying to download four videos at once, which caused major buffering issues.
    This means, however, that jumping around an eLearning with several videos in it, even using the TOC or forward and backward buttons will cause all of the videos you "touch" to begin downloading, and if you have low bandwidth, they can be downloading simultaneously for a long time.
    Possible solution  --> Allow navigation only with with TOC and make it so the user can only go to the next slide/video after he has finished viewing the current one, ensuring,that only one video will be downloaded at once.  (Needs to be tested).
    Anyway, I hope this has provided some insight to those experiencing problems similar to this!

    Under the advanced tab in the button inspector you can set it to activate your subtitle stream.

  • ITunes connection timed out problem. Please help

    Hey guys, I've purchased an iPod Touch 4th Gen recently but a problem I've had after installing iTunes is connecting to the internet. I haven't even got the software on the iPod Touch due to an error - "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your internet settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again"
    Here's a similar error message which comes up -
    http://turbo.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2009/11/itunes-connection-timed-out.jpg
    The frusterating thig is that know one has a clue about the problem or the solution. I've tried everything you name it, from disabling the firewall, disabling the anti-virus, disabling any other programs which may affect iTunes. I've tinkered with the different internet setting, looked out programs allowed in the firewall and iTunes is definitely allowed. And my internet connection is perfect and very very fast. I don't use wireless but an Ethernet cable. There are absolutely NO problems with my internet connection WHATSOEVER.
    So I was thinking whether the time I decided to install is the problem? Maybe it was peak time (I tried it at 17:00pm UK Time) and now its 22:25pm UK time. Maybe it's a time where many users are online? But if that was the case surely I would have been successful atleast once?
    Please help, I'm getting really really desperate. Thanks you ever so much

    You need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then connect it to your new computer and restore it via iTunes. Note that you will lose all content on the iPod. You can redownload apps at no additional cost provided you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.

  • Buffering Problem with Flash Videos

    We are having problems with the buffering of newly published FLASH videos (rendered using Premiere/Flash CS6 and using Windows 8 and explorer/firefox/chorme).   Non-Flash Videos appear to buffer fine.
    An example of this problem can be seen at http://healthwatchusa.org/HWUSA-Presentations-Testimony/20130215-KY-House/20130214-kavanag h.htm 

    1.Default of bufferTime is 0.1 seconds. Try to set the value higher and see if that solves your problem. 
    2.If you set your component to autoplay, you could get rid of it and start the player if the VideoEvent.READY is fired
    3.If you have any code inside your swf that tries to communicate with other domains you should set the "allowScriptAccess" value inside your html container from "sameDomain" to "always"

  • Connection request timed out - problem

    Hi, our errorlog confirms there are regular "Connection request timed out" errors in our web-application (asp.net with odp 9.2.0.4).
    Now we did a standard ODP installation, so i don't know how all the Pooling parameters are set up initially. But i found metalink note 261377.1 which states that the max number of connections also depends on the setting of maxconnections in the machine.config on the server. right now this setting is (windows server 2003):
    <connectionManagement>
    <add address="*" maxconnection="2"/>
    </connectionManagement>
    Apart from having to install patch version 9.2.0.7, could this be part of the problem? Or could this also be caused by wrong programming practice?
    Furthermore: in metalink note 240997.1 i found an example of setting several pooling parameters at connect-time. Is this the only way to do it, or is there something like an odp.config where you can specify these parameters?
    Regards, Paul.

    Hi Paul,
    1) "how the pooling parameters are set up initially": refer to the odp.net documentation, it tells you what all the default parameters are. The key parameter in this case would likely be "max pool size" which defaults to 100.
    2) "maxconnections in machine.config": I looked at that note which doesnt contain very much detail, but couldnt force a problem. maxconnection="2" is apparently the default, it's what mine is set to, and I can open 100 connections without problem. It may be that theres another setting that can affect this (I doubt the guy who wrote the note just made the info up) but I dont know what that is top of my head.
    3) the pooling parameters can only be set in the connect string itself. You could certainly store the settings in a System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings file however.
    4) "Connection request timed out" is typically not an Oracle software problem, but more frequently an issue with code not cleaning up after itself properly. To confirm whether you've hit "max pool size", check v$session; how many actual connections does that app have? Make sure you're closing and disposing the connection, and additionally the command, reader, etc, under all circumstances (ie, a finally block).
    Hope that helps,
    Greg
