Use Lecroy 44Xi-A scope as chart recorder

How would on go about using a Lecroy 44Xi-A scope as a chart recorder, or any DSO for that matter? It would seem to me that this should be possible as these scope are really nothing more than a Windows PC with a high speed DAQ. Even the "scope" runs as a program under Windows.
There are decent LV libraries for the 44XI-A but they really only allow saving and transferring trace, trace data, or screen shots after the scope has been triggered and acquisition is complete.
I want to put the scope in auto trigger and stream the acquisition data directly to a (TDMS?) file.
Turning ths scope into somethign like a Yokogawa Scopecorder.

RTSLVU,
I would look through the programming manual and see if the Lecroy 44Xi-A allows for what you are asking: http://cdn.lecroy.com/files/manuals/automation_command_ref_manual_wr.pdf

Is it possible to use a Shared Variable within a Chart?

I have a shared variable between a container report and a subreport called {@ResponseCount}:
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar Responses:= DistinctCount ({Survey_Response.RecipID})
I placed the variable in the report footer and the value is passing correctly. I would like to use this shared value in a chart; however, it is not even listed in the Chart Expert as an available field. I was placing the chart in Report Footer b.
I have also tried moving the variable value to the Report Header and placing the chart in the Report Footer, with the same result.
I tried changing the variable to a global variable, thinking that I was using the incorrect scope, but that passed a zero value instead.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you.

Thank you for the response. Though I almost gave up on this, I did find a way to access the shared variable after all. I created a formula that simply called the variable formula. For this example, I was using a shared variable to pull a value from my container report into my sub report for use in a chart.
In my container report I created the shared variable {@Get_Responses}:
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar Responses:= DistinctCount ({Survey_Response.RecipID})
In my sub report I created the formula to call the above variable {@Fetch_Responses}
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar Responses;
Then, again in my sub report, I created a second formula to call the above formula {@ResponsesForChart}
{@Fetch_Responses}
This last formula was then available for use in the chart I needed to create.

How can Maximum Display Time in Chart Recorder be increased to hours/days?

Error message displayed when Recorder Display Time (X-Axis) is increased beyond ~0.25 hours, saying maximum display time has been reached. MUST be able to display time in range of days - although since data display rate (not Dasylab sampling rate, display rate separately controlled through pulse generator) is very slow (i.e. 1 sample/5 minutes, 0.0033Hz) total data quantity is not large.
Please help..there must be a way around this!! Thanks

The maximum display time in the Chart Recorder is based on a computation of how much memory is available to be allocated. The computation includes the block size, sample rate, as well as the amount of memory on the computer.
To display more time, you must reduce the amount of data to reduce the effective sampling rate being charted. You can use the Average Module or the Separate module to accomplish this.
There are some conditions where the actual sampling rate and the channel sampling rate are not the same - triggered data is an example of this, and data from the RS232 Input and ICOMS Input may be labeled in a way that leads the Chart Recorder to believe that the data channel has more data than it does.
Please provide more information about your application - what is the data source of the data that you are displaying, what is the sampling rate and block size? How much memory does your computer have?

Unable to get values within scope of the RowGroup(only got values using Previous and current scope value)

Hi All,
I already calculated a row(Add Total row) like Gross profit within Group1 (a,b,c,d,e which are sub groups) using Previous and current scope column group values. ex: Gross Profit = a - b. (within group1)
Gross Profit = Previous(Sum(Fields!Trans_amount.Value)) - Sum(Fields!Trans_amount.Value) in Group1
Now, I want to get values for Net income like Net income = a - b - c in Group1. (OR)
Net income = Gross Profit - c in Group1 (Using Gross Profit textbox values using Reportitems!textbox.value). but, values different. Since Expression got new calculation)
Please help me.
Thanks Advance.
- Prem Kumar T D http://www.sharepointbasic.com/

Hi Premtd,
As per my understanding, there are group and subgroups in the report, you added total to a group with the expresson: Previous(Sum(Fields!Trans_amount.Value)) - Sum(Fields!Trans_amount.Value). You want to add a text box to the report to calculate Net income
with the expression: Previous(Sum(Fields!Trans_amount.Value)) - Sum(Fields!Trans_amount.Value) - Sum(Fields!Trans_amount.Value). In order to improve the efficiency of troubleshooting, I need to ask several questions:
• “I already calculated a row(Add Total row) like Gross profit within Group1 (a,b,c,d,e which are sub groups)” What’s the meaning of Group1 and subgroup a, b, c, d, e ? Could you please mark Gross profit and the groups in the screenshot?
• How to calculate Net income? Please provide some more detailed information of your requirements. I would be appreciated it if you could provide sample data and clear screenshot of the report.
This may be a lot of information to ask for at one time. However, by collecting this information now, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Using LAG function to find a previous record

Hey,
I tried searching the forum for this, but I actually didn't even know what to search for, so I'm creating a new thread.
The SQL below displays a list of prices:
WITH T AS (
SELECT 1 AS ID, 'PERM' AS TYPE, 100 AS PRICE, SYSDATE + 1 AS START_DATE FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 3 AS ID, 'TEMP' AS TYPE, 90 AS PRICE, SYSDATE + 2 AS START_DATE FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 7 AS ID, 'TEMP' AS TYPE, 80 AS PRICE, SYSDATE + 3 AS START_DATE FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 8 AS ID, 'PERM' AS TYPE, 75 AS PRICE, SYSDATE + 4 AS START_DATE FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 16 AS ID, 'TEMP' AS TYPE, 70 AS PRICE, SYSDATE + 5 AS START_DATE FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 20 AS ID, 'TEMP' AS TYPE, 60 AS PRICE, SYSDATE + 6 AS START_DATE FROM DUAL UNION
SELECT 34 AS ID, 'TEMP' AS TYPE, 50 AS PRICE, SYSDATE + 7 AS START_DATE FROM DUAL
SELECT T.ID
       , T.TYPE
       , T.PRICE
       , TRUNC (T.START_DATE) AS START_DATE
       , CASE
           WHEN T.TYPE = 'PERM'
             THEN T.ID
             ELSE LAG (T.ID, 1, NULL) OVER (PARTITION BY NULL ORDER BY T.ID)
         END AS BASE_ID
    FROM T
ORDER BY T.START_DATEThe challenge is to produce this output:
ID TYPE PRICE BASE_ID
1 PERM   100       1
3 TEMP    90       1
7 TEMP    80       1
8 PERM    75       8
16 TEMP    70       8
20 TEMP    60       8
34 TEMP    50       8What I want to achieve is to bring a column with the ID of the most recent PERM price for TEMP prices,
and It's own ID for PERM prices.
My attempt uses LAG to navigate back on the record set, but it uses 1 statically. If there was a way to come up with a number
for each TEMP price saying how far it was from the most recent PERM, then I could use that number instead of 1.
Something like:
ID TYPE PRICE DISTANCE_FROM_PREV_PERM
1 PERM   100                       0
3 TEMP    90                       1
7 TEMP    80                       2
8 PERM    75                       0
16 TEMP    70                       1
20 TEMP    60                       2
34 TEMP    50                       3Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Maybe
select id,type,price,
       last_value(base_id) ignore nulls over (order by the_row) base_id
/*     last_value(base_id ignore nulls) over (order by the_row) base_id -- old way */
from (select id,type,price,start_date,
               case type when 'PERM' then id end base_id,
               row_number() over (order by start_date) the_row
          from t
       )Regards

Why is the first value missing in the Chart when I use Property Nodes to clear my Charts programatically ?

Hello everybody,
I am using Property Nodes to clear my Charts right at the beginning of the program. The Property Nodes (History) are outside a While-loop.
When I connect a Chart with the counter-variable "i" inside a While-loop, the first point I see in the Chart is (0,1) instead of (0,0). It looks like the Chart misses the first point !
If the Chart is outside the While-loop the Chart displays all points.
Can anyone please explain this behaviour ? How can I solve this problem ?
Thanks,
Cesar

Make sure you have the error output from the property node connected to
the loop border. Even if the error os not used in the loop, this will
ensure that the property node clears the chart before the loop starts
running.
What is probably happening is the loop start running at the same time
the chart is being cleared, so the first point is also being cleared.

I'm trying to multi-track using an m-audio device, I can record my guitar fine. However, I want to create a new track so I can record an acoustic tambourine over the top. Instead it records the original guitar as well as tambourine? its really annoying

I'm trying to multi-track using an m-audio device, I can record my guitar fine. However, I want to create a new track so I can record an acoustic tambourine over the top. Instead it records the original guitar as well as the tambourine coming out with a really distorted sound. I've managed to record over the top of a guitar before and add diferent riffs and sounds but I've tried all of the settings but its still not working. Basically I want to record different tracks without it recording my previous guitar riffs as well. Help would really be appreciated.

Ah that was it, thanks a lot common sense really but thanks for the help

Can OnLocation be used as a field monitor only (no recording)?

Hi,
My laptop is to slow to record HDV but I would like to use onlocation as a field monitor without recording to the laptop. Is this possible? I can't find any info in the manual. It would be a lot easier for our client to monitor the shoot on the laptop then on the cameras LCD.
Thanks

It certainly can be used for such purposes.

Using C++ to create a structure chart designer

I am trying to use C++ to design a structure chart program that will let you enter in names of functions into a sidebar and as you enter a name into the first slot two things will happen: another blank slot will appear below the one you are typing
in and a text box (shaped to the size of the text inside) will appear in the main area allowing the structure chart to expand. Another part will be to put some kind of tab on the text entry slots so that you can add different lines to any other function boxes
including main() and allows you to put the variable names that are being passed in and out of functions on or near the lines that go between them all. It will basically be just what you would expect out of a structure chart, just automated and neat.
Let me know if there is any advice or help you can give me as I start this program.
Thanks in advance!

Hi TylerSong55,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
I think the pvdg42's suggestion is right, so we will move this case to this C++ forum, you will get better support.

Mac-Ignorant. Can I use Garage Band with PC and Olympia recorder?

I have a 90 minute session I'm trying to podcast. The first thing I did was publish it on mypodcast.com. Naively I thought I could just post that URL in the podcast feed URL. I don't have a MAC. I have a PC. Is there a way (or perhaps a bunch of steps) that I can get my recorded file using Garage Band via my PC? If so then I will download it.... and then if I can use that, where can I post my recording so that I can feed it to itunes? I know a LOT of questions. I did not RECORD using an IPOD.. I recorded using an Olympia Digital Recorder. Please tell me there's a way!!!

GarageBand is Mac-Only, and also commercial

Ultrasonic c-scan using LeCroy LT342 scope and NI motion controller

I imagine this may seem simple, but can anyone help me get started trying to set up an automated ultrasonic c-scan rig using a NI stepper control card and a LeCroy scope hooked up via a NI GPIB card? I have some knowledge in wiring up motion control hardware, but not so much in setting up any software. I would like to be able to use an interface to pick the x and y axis scan space and step size, and also control the scope a little. The data display and storing features would also be something I haven't yet worked out. I have used WinSpect software, and something of this sort (except more configurable on our part) would be good if you have ever seen this software. Is there a good example piece of code I could possibly start and build from? Thanks!

denyart,
You might get more responses by posting to either the Instrument Control board or the Motion board. We do have an instrument driver for the LeCroy LT342 for LabVIEW and CVI here:
LeCroy LT342 Instrument Driver
That should get you started off on the right track as far as the instrument control is concerned. As far as Motion is concerned I would recommend posting to the Motion board! Hope that helps!

Error 85 using Lecroy wavejet 324A

hello!!!
I'm trying to communicate with my computer Lecroy WaveJet 324A oscilloscope, using the examples that come in LabView but sends
Error 85 occurred at Scan From String (arg 1) in LeCroy WaveJet Series.lvlib: Error Query.vi-> LeCroy WaveJet Series.lvlib: Autosetup.vi-> LeCroy WaveJet Series Waveform.vi Acquire Math
can someone help me with this problem please

Hi dave66,
Are you actually looking at the number of returned bytes? I just did some testing and discovered that with the ENET interface, I have no issues, but with the USB interface, I get a "\r" then "+00000" so a probe on the return string does not appear to have any data but it is there.
I did some further digging and found that when I send more than one command in a single write, the scope responds with a "\r" as the first character for the next query I send. I am not sure how soon we can get this fixed. I have to file it as a bug and then allow our engineers to find the fix and implement it in the next release of the firmware for the scope. The current release as of today (April 5th, 2013) is version 5.06. You can check for the latest release from here: http://teledynelecroy.com/support/softwaredownload/firmwareupgrade.aspx
The alternative (not the right solution, but will take care of this) is to go into the write vi and modify it so that if it is trying to send more than one command, you parse the command and send one at a time in a loop.
I don't like this solution because although it will work, the right solution is to make the scope behave the same regardless of the interface. But it will at least get you up and going until our engineers can address the issue.
Let me know what version of LabVIEW you are using and if I have it available, I am happy to modify the vi and provide it to you.
