Using the X Series interal clock for synchronization

Hi,
I am slowly learning how to use Labview in my work.  I have 2 X-series multifunction DAQs that are each linked to a computer.  I am reading in the user manual that the DAQ has a built in 10MHz clock that can be used by other DAQs in the system.  The idea is that I'd like one of the two DAQs to be a master and all operations should be theoretically unified.  I am unclear on how to actually tap into the internal 10MHz clock on DAQ1.  I may be misinformed about some fundamentals of Labview, I recognize this.  I played around with some DAQmx functions and was confused because the Create virtual channel DAQmx that I assume has to come first in a sequence of DAQmx's still required an external signal source: "lines".  This seems counter-intuitive for my purposes!.  Can there be an input that is genuinely from within the DAQ?  If I create a DAQ assistant to generate counter output, I see how it can be timed using the 10MHz reference clock but somehow I also feel like this is an incorrect strategy.
I am still an amateur but I haven't found very good resourses that actually explain how to generate timing, only that you can do it.  Besides, isn't the 'timing' of any signal I generate in the program dependent on how fast the while loop surrounding the whole program cycles?  And can this be controlled?
Any starting point or advice you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Hi twitchell,
Are you trying to synchronize analog input? If so, this should be a good starting point: Synchronizing DSA, S Series, and X Series Devices With a Single NI-DAQmx Task
Otherwise, please post more details about what you are trying to do: channel type, sample rate (same on each device or not?), triggering, etc.

  • Use the same series

    I need to use the same series in the A/R Down Payment Invoice and in the A/R invoice. How may I to do it?
    Regards

    For a new company you can set Permit More than One Document Type per Series under Administration / System Initialization / Company details. Then you get different possibilities to defining document numbering.
    But you should be aware of the fact that in version 2007A the authorizations for series groups will not work properly with this setting.

  • HT5538 How do you separate multiple iOS devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

    How do you separate multiiple ios devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

    The only way I have seen is to have each device use a if fervent email account, if they all are on the same email the FaceTime connection is either to a phone number or to an email address.  If they ar all on the same email, it is up to the user to decide which to use.

  • Multiple iphones each with an apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates?

    We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten.  Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ?  Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?

    Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
    You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
    So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences.

    Hi kamfong,
    Went to Settings where?
    If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
    1.     Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
    You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
    Cheers,

  • How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2.  I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use.  how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases.  If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

  • I currently have an ipod touch 4th generation for my daughter.  I just bought the same ipod for myself. Before I set it all up, i want to know if i can use the same email/apple id for both of them???

    My daughter has an ipod touch 4th gen.  I just bought one for myself but dont' know if I can use the same email/apple id ???  i'd like to but dont want issues w/ facetime, etc.  Please help!!

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure the birthdate yo specify results n an age of at least 13 years old.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.    
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

    I have used the "description" spot in iPhoto for in-depth additional information for photos of my ancestors. Now I am wanting to know if there is a way to print the photos along with the descriptions; either photo by photo, or maybe more than one per page, or possibly in some sort of booklet format. Thank you very much.

    You can make a Book and have a photo on one side and your text description on the other.

  • Using the same Asset Master Record for similar assets

    Dear all,
    I would like to ask if it is possible to use the same asset master record for multiple assets which are similar. The assets will be posted in different periods / fiscal years and therefore the depreciation would change and be charged according to the useful life of the individual assets posted to the same master record and which in turn will vary according to periods / fiscal year posted.
    For example, an asset master record is created for Vehicles. The 1st vehicle with a useful life of 4 years is depreciated at the start of the year for 4 years. The second vehicle is purchased on 6 months after on the 1st June using the same asset master record. However the depreciation is not worked out over the same useful life of the previous vehicle but is extended for a further 6 periods. Is this possible and how is it done.
    Many thanks for any feedback and help.
    Thanks
    PRG

    Dear Peter
    What is the issue in case you created separate Asset Master for each Vehcile ? Is there any specific need for you to accommodate all the assets in one single asset master ?
    I don't think it is correct method as per Company's Act. Over and above, how would you plan for the Fixed Assets Register in the given situation ?

  • My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters are showing up as green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC.

    My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters, specifically parameters, are showing up green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC. I can manually fix this in the TOC by changing the character style to none after the toc  has been generated, but I don't want to do this.

    What application are you running? Please ask this in the forum of the product you're using.

  • How do I do use the custom code and format for a percentage with 2 decimals in Report Builder 3.0?

    In Report Builder 3.0, I have the following custom code entered:
      Public Function SafeDivide(Numerator as String, Denominator as String) as String
    Try
    If Numerator = “” or Denominator = “” then
    Return “-“
    End if
    If Numerator = “-“ or Denominator = “-“ then
    Return “-“
    End If
    If CDbl(Numerator) =0 or CDbl(Denominator) = 0 then
    Return “-“
    End if
    If IsNothing(Numerator) or IsNothing(Denominator) then
    Return "-"
    End if
    Return Val( ( (CDbl(Numerator) / CDbl(Denominator) )*100 ) )
    Catch
    Return "-"
    End Try
    End Function
    I call the custom code in the cell with the following equation:
      =Code.SafeDivide(sum(Fields!TY_UNITS.Value)-sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value),sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value))
    I have the format for the cell set to 0.00%, but it’s not being followed.
    I want the result to be formatted as a Percentage, but instead I get values like: 
    -78.9473684210
    80
    300
    -100
    I have the format for the cell set to 0.00%, but it’s not being followed.
    How do I do use the custom code and format for a percentage with 2 decimals?

    Hi AngP,
    After testing the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it. Based on my research, I find this issue is caused by the type of Units_VAR_Percentage cell is string, while the type of CDbl(Parameters!Var_Threshold.Value) is double, so they cannot be
    compared.
    To fix this issue, we can add a hidden column (Textbox91) next to the Units_VAR_Percentage column, and type =(sum(Fields!TY_UNITS.Value)-sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value)) /sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value) as the expression. Then use the expression below to control the
    BackgroundColor:
    =iif(iif(reportitems!Units_VAR_Percentage.Value=CStr(format(reportitems!Textbox91.Value,"0.00%")),reportitems!Textbox91.Value,0)>CDbl(Parameters!Var_Threshold.Value),"Yellow","PaleTurquoise")
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,

  • With the new fcpx...can we use the plug ins I paid for..like FxFactory?

    ....with the new fcpx...can we use the plug ins I paid for..like FxFactory?

    It's highly likely, Apple are not in the habit of shooting themselves in the foot and have an excellent track record for handling major architectural transitions (68000 to PowerPC, PowerPC to Intel, OS 9 to OS X etc) but of course nothing can be guaranteed until further official announcements are made. Your existing software however will certainly continue to work for some time yet to come with  compatibility for the existing FCP, Motion, After Effects versions.
    Why not drop an email to FxFactory / Noise Industries support?

  • Can I use the ac charger I bought for my mini with my new nano

    Having just bought a Nano, I want to know if I can use the ac charger I bought for the mini to charge it. I don't have enough access to a pc to charge it via the USB cable.

    Here are the specs on the Apple AC converter:
    Input AC 100-240 V 50-60 HZ
    AC input 0.35A max
    Output 5V, 1A
    I'm not sure how this matches up with the specs on your charger. Maybe you could find a website for your supplier and see if they advertise the unit for Nanos?
