Trying to trigger multiple analog measurements with each pulse of a 500PPR encoder

I am trying to take multiple analog measurements form 6 sensors with each pulse of a 500 ppr encoder and write these to a file. Problem I have run into is I am not getting 500 readings with 1 revolution of the encoder the most I have received is 187 however this isnt consistant.
using
6024 E Series card
BEI L25G encoder
Still relatively new to labview along with using an older version 7.0
Thank You in advance

Acquire single analog point on each pulse

Hi,
I have a query on what i hope is a simple application. Im using a PCI-6220 card and what I would like to do is aquire a single data point which is to be triggered by a digital pulse. The pulse will come from an encoder, and what I would like to do is aquire a single analog data point each time the encoder channel pulse goes high (retriggerable daq?)
Which would be the best way to approach this?
Thanks,
David

David,
this is easily done by importing your encoder-signal as external clock for your AI (which is either finite or continuous then!)
hope this helps,
Norbert
[EDIT]: This will work out directly if the encoder creates CMOS/TTL pulses. If it doesn't, you should consider some kind of signalconditioning for your encodersignal

I'm trying to trigger voice over audio with markers in a Edge timeline.

I’m working on 4 instructional videos.
Audio was not part of the initial plan, but it is now.
Here’s the current edge video: http://docs.smoke51.com/Social/email/setup/web/
I’m trying to sync the audio to the sections of the instructional video.
There are 5 sections in the video; each can be triggered by a click. The play and pause buttons also work.

on the button element that you use to pause the animation, you can have the audio pause as well.
you might try something like the following:
var myaudio = new Audio();
myaudio.src = 'narration.wav';
myaudio.pause();
or with an audio tag such as <audio id="soundfile">, you can use:
myaudio = $('soundfile');
myaudio.pause();
for the timeline, you can use sym.stop();
that way, when one pauses, the other one does also.
to autostart, set a trigger at 0ms on your timeline, then in the editor, put:
var myaudio = new Audio();
myaudio.src = 'narration.wav';
myaudio.play();
hope this helps.

Multiple select parameter with each selected value covering multiple sub values

Hello, everyone,
In my SSRS report, I need to set a multiple select parameter called Group, with values: group1 group2, etc....
When group1 is selected, it needs to apply to data of certain sub groups: sub-group1, sub-group2;
When group2 is selected, it needs to apply to data of different sub groups: sub-group3, sub-group4 and sub-group5;
when both group1 and group2 are selected, then, it needs to apply to data of sub-group1 to sub-group5.
I know how to do it when only one group is selected: simply use a case statement in the query to select the right sub groups based on the group selected.
But I don't know a good way to do it when multiple groups are selected.
Any help, pointers are much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Regards

Hi QQFA,
If I understand correctly, there are two parameters (Group and Sub_group) in the report. When we select group1 in Group parameter, it will auto select sub-group1, sub-group2 in the Sub_group parameter; when we select group2 in Group parameter, it will auto
select sub-group3, sub-group4 and sub_group5 in the Sub_group parameter; when we select both all, it will auto select all sub_group values. If I have misunderstood, please don't hesitate to let me know.
In this scenario, we can create a temporary table with Group and Sub_group columns, then select Sub_group column values based on the Group field. For more details, please see:
Create a dataset with the query below:
CREATE TABLE #temp([group] nvarchar(50),sub_group nvarchar(50))
INSERT INTO #temp VALUES ('group1','sub-group1'),('group1','sub-group2'),('group2','sub-group3'),('group2','sub-group4'),('group2','sub-group5')
SELECT * FROM #temp
where [group] in (@Group)
Set available values and default values of Sub_group parameter with get values from the sub_group field in the new dataset.
Note that the two parameters are all multiple parameters.
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
Thanks,

Best way to validate multiple entity objects with each other

I have the following scenario.
There is one entity object with the following fields.
Name
Start Date
End Date
My requirement is to validate the dates in the entity do not overlap.
What is the best way to achieve the same.
This validation should be fired when we commit, since the user should be allowed to change the dates freely between entities.(Validation should not kick off when the current row changes)
Thanks

For this to achieve there is a concept called Effective Dated Entity Objects in Oracle ADF.
Official ADF Documentation: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37975_01/web.111240/e16182/bcentities.htm#ADFFD20110

Multiple devices interfering with each other

My daughter calls me using FaceTime on her MacBook. Both my iPad and iPhone ring. I answer on my iPad and we begin our conversation. The iPhone continues to ring. Eventually, it stops. When it does, the conversation on the iPad is terminated. Why does this happen and how can it be prevented?

Turn off Facetime on iPhone or iPad. Go to Setting -> Facetime.
Turn off the one you don't want to use facetime.

How to implement Multiple Roadmap step with in a roadMap

Hi,
I am trying to implement Multiple roadmap step with in a roadMap.Can any one help me on this how to do it.
As of now i have added Multiple roadmap step element with in my Road map navigation and assign a data source which contains single attribute steps. I am stuck here open question like
1) How i map the view accordingly with the steps that are dynamically created
2) Weather i have to create dynamic plugs? to handle it
Can any one help me out or if you have any sample implementation please guide me through that link.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Karthikeyan R

Hi,
1. In the View add a RoadMapUI element.
2. Right click->Insert Steps (as many as required)
3. Set the design property of the Roadmap step as standard / selected (Highlighted if set to "Selected")
This is for a static approach i.e if there are 3 views, then in all the three views u repeat the procedure above and set the property as Selected for the required step.
For dynamic selection of roadmap, bind the design property to context attribute of type WDRoadMapDesign and set the property thru code.
Hope this helps you.

Error -200288 on multiple analog ins/outs

Hi there,
I have modified the MultiFunction-Sync-In-Out to accept 4 analog ins and 1 analog out but as you can see I always get Error -200288. I have attached the vi along with this message. If this problem is solved, I would like to output a second analog channel with a pulse to mark signal out from the first analog out. Please advise. Cheers, Biswa

Hi there, Thanks for the message. You are right that this is because of the task not getting stopped at every iteration of the while loop. It seems stopping a task at the end of each iteration only holds for software triggered DAQ and not otherwise. have herewith attached the next version of the code. The query is if I am doing finite sample acq. and generation (the samples are set as fixed for AO and AI) then shouldn't my text file for data saved via AI/AO operation have equal number of points starting at set start time. It certainly doesn't seem to be the case and I reckon this is something to do with the buffer. Your advice on this would be highly appreciated. Cheers, Biswa

Synchronizing two counter frequency inputs with multiple analog inputs

Hello all,
I'm fairly new to LabVIEW and I'm trying to collect data from multiple sources with synchronized timing on the acquisition but I'm having trouble figuring it out. My problem is that I've got two counter frequency inputs, one optical tachometer reading one pulse per revolution, and a max machinery flow meter with a k factor of 12000. I can't seem to figure out how to sync the timing with my multiple analog inputs. I've been attempting to get the tachometer to sync with the analog inputs first by following the example linked here. (https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-10785) So far each time I run it I either get a timeout error on the DAQmx read or a "Multiple sample clock pulses were detected" error (see attached image). It seems if I slow the sampling rate way down to say 10 hz and ensure that the tachometer signal is over 800-1000 RPM (13-17 Hz) before starting the VI then the program will run without errors until the RPM drops below that threshold then the "Multiple sample clock pulses" error occurs. The code is attached below.
Does anyone know of a more effective way of syncing counter frequency inputs with analog inputs? I'd like to have a VI that can show 0 RPM (and eventually 0 flow as well, but I think I need to figure out the timing of one counter before I add another as it seems I can't have two counters in the same task). Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
LabVIEW version 13.0
cDAQ-9178 Chassis with NI 9401 for the two counter inputs and NI 9205 for the analog inputs.
Thanks!

Maybe third times the charm?
So I've finally got a good handle on why the VI is having problems at low RPM though I'm somewhat embarassed how long it took me to do that
Because I have the counter time synced to my Analog input task if it doesn't see at least two pulses between the two clock pulses set by the analog input task I get the -201314 "Multiple sample clock pulses" error. This seems fine at first as it just sets a minimum RPM that I can measure and it's well below the area I'm interested in so no problems there. I tried a simple error handler that would clear the error when it happend assuming the loop would keep iterating until the RPM went above that minimum at which point I would get a signal again. This is not the case, the read function just continues to spit out the -201314 error even after the RPM is back in the readable range. So then I tried adding two case structures so that when the error occured it would stop the task, clear the error, and then start the task again on the next loop iteration (Code Attached). This also doesn't work as the error shows up again on the stop task and then AGAIN on the start task on the next loop iteration. It seems this error is not actually being cleared and once it happens it stays with the task regardless of what the error cluster is carrying.
Anyone have any ideas? The only solution I can think of is to just clear all tasks and recreate them each loop iteration until the RPM is readable again but that strikes me as a horribly clunky solution.

Anyone have an example of a PCI-6250 Digital and Analog Aquistion with Analog Post-Trigger?

Hey All,
We're trying to set up a post trigger data capture of parallel absolute strobed Gurley 17-bit encoder data (ignoring MSB for 16-bit aquisition) with an analog signal that is the output of a torque load cell. The trick is to use the analog signal level as a post-trigger to stop the data aquisition.
1) can the analog signal be recorded and used as the trigger?
2) does anyone have an example using the PCI-6250 (or 6251)
Thanks in advance for your help,
-Drewksi

Hi Drewski,
You can use the APFI0 line as an analog trigger for your signal. However, in this case you need to connect your analog signal to both the analog channel you want to acquire at and the APFI0 line.
Assuming you are using LabVIEW,you can check the "Acq&Graph Voltage-Ext Clk-Analog reference.vi" example. This examples uses an external clock but it works also with the internal clock. All you have to do to change the control to onboard clock.
You can find this example in LabVIEW Help >> Find Examples >> Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx >> Analog Measurement >> Voltage

Multi trigger measurements with a keithley 2100

Hi all,
I am using a Keithley 2100 DMM to measure voltages through an USB bus. I am using an agilent multiplexer to route different chanels to be measured by the 2100. A labview software control the two instruments.
If I use a labview “read single” KE2100 function between each switch of the agilent the program works well. The problem is I would like my measurement to be done faster. So I am trying to store the measurements in the buffer and collect all the data at the end. It goes like this:
Configure the trigger
(sample count=1 , trigger count X, trigger source: bus)
2. Initiate the trigger (VISA INIT)
3. Trig the measurement with “*TRG” X time in a for loop
4. Fetch the data
For some reason I cannot collect these data, I just get one or sometimes two measurements
Does anyone know what the problem is? Many thanks for your help !
PS: enclosed a simple labview version of what I would like to do

Hello Melanie,
I discussed with them indeed and it seems it is not possible to trig from the bus in case you just have a USB bus and not a GPIB one. Therefore I will try to trig the DMM measurement with the "channel closed output" from the MUX and see if it can work like that.

How do I merge multiple Excel files with more than one tab in each file using PowerQuery?

Hello
I have 12 Excel (.xlsx) files and each file has three identically named and ordered tabs in them.
I know how to merge multiple Excel files in a folder using M (those guides are all over the web) but how do I merge multiple Excel files with multiple (yet identically named and ordered) tabs? Surely it is possible? I just don't know how to do it in M.
Cheers
James

What Laurence says is correct, and probably the best thing to do when the sheets have differing structures. Here is an alternate approach that works well when the sheets all have the same structure.
When you first open the Excel file from Power Query, you can see its structure in the navigator at the right-hand-side of the screen. If you select the root (which is the filename itself) and click Edit, you'll see all the tabs in the sheet as a single table.
You can now do filtering based on the Name, Item and Kind values. When you've reduced the set of things down to the sheets you want, select the Data column and say "Remove Other Columns". If the sheets don't have any header rows, you can just click the expand
icon in the header and you'll be done.
Otherwise, if the sheets have headers or if some other kind of sheet-level transformation is required against each sheet before doing a merge, you'll have to write some M code manually. In the following example, each sheet has a header row consisting of
two columns: Foo and Bar. So the only step I need to perform before merging is to promote the first row into a header. This is done via the Table.TransformColumns operation.
let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\CurtH\Desktop\Test1.xlsx")),
    RemovedOtherColumns = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Data"}),
    PromotedHeaders = Table.TransformColumns(RemovedOtherColumns,{{"Data", each Table.PromoteHeaders(_)}}),
    ExpandData = Table.ExpandTableColumn(PromotedHeaders, "Data", {"Foo", "Bar"}, {"Data.Foo", "Data.Bar"})
in
    ExpandData

1 xml file to multiple xml files with 200 records in each

Hello Experts,
I have below scenario.
Please suggest me which might be the best approch to work on.
1) XML file to XML file
I will have 1 pretty huge XML file which i need to break in multiple XML files with 200 records each.
1) first approch i can have bpm in which i can split the file according to my requirement.
2) Second approch i can create 2 scenarios in which 1st scenario will pick up XML file and create multiple flat files with File content conversion. Second scenario will pick up all these flat files and create XML files.
2) XML file to XML file
Or i can have multiple files with 1 record per file and i need to merge in multiple XML files with 200 records in each.
So its kind of 1:N or M:N scenarios.
Please tell me which is might be better performance and design wise.
Or if you have any idea in any other way i can do this, then please reply as soon as possbile.
Please tell me if you have OS command for the same or some script to run or anything which i can implement.
Thanks,
Hetal

what is your senario? is it File to File?
You can use multi mapping concept without BPM. You can handle the 200 records per message logic in the multimapping.

My question has to do with analog input and triggering? Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can improve the attached vi so it can trigger on a 50kHz ten cycles pulse after the pulse has been sent out on the output?

Could you just look at this vi and tell me if i am doing anything wrong? I get errors that are different each time I change something. here are the inputs I am using
Output Side:
amplitude = 1
freuency = 50kHz
Sampling Frequency = 1MHz
3 of Samples = 200
Input Side:
Input Buffer 4000
trigger type = analog
pretrigger = 5
edge or slope = rising
scan rate = 500kHz
# of scans = 2000
Conditional Retrieval
mode = on
slope = rising
skip count = 0
level = .1
offset = 0
hysteresis = 0
So what we want to do is capture the ten
cycles of the 50k output pulse on the input and need to store that so we can plot it later, do you have any suggestions. we are using the PCI-MIO- 16E board.
Thanks,
Jarrod

1) Toss the sequence frames (no flames please).
2) Set you read and have it ready to trigger before oing the output.
3) After the output, go back and read the data that is waiting for you.
4) If you have errors tell us what they are and under what conditions they occured.
End of Ben's suggestions for now.
