Vector CanBoard and analog acq timing problem

Hi all,
when using a 6023E and a Vector CanBoardXL to measure analog and CAN signals (on two different clocks) the signal measurement does not start at the same time.
The analog signal is being measured for e.g. 2 sec and then the CAN messages appear. Still the time for the CAN message does not start at 2 but at 0. Is there any synchronisation (does not have to be very accurate, but a few secs is way too much)?

Thx for your answer.
Attached is my DAC. Did you mean sth. like this with the start trigger?

FX5200 Problem DVI and Analog

Just got a Medion PC with a MSI FX5200 card.
When using a Digital Flat Panel the image judders occasionally, but enough to be annoying. (both DVI and Analog)
When using an ATI Radeon Card I have no problems at all.
Is it the card or is it just the FX5200 being no use with Flat Panels?
(Using latest nvidia drivers and running the screen at 60hz.)
Any help appreciated.

I have just purchased a samsung 17" TFT with DVI. I am having terrible trouble even getting my FX5200 to work it. On analouge it's fine, on Digital it won't even recieve the signal. I have all the latest drivers for the card and monitor and a brand new DVI cable. Tried it on a friends with an ATI card and it worked just fine. Any Ideas anyone??????

Timing problems with AU Ivory Piano + ESB and Logic 7.2

I have problems with Ivory and Logic 7.2:
The Ivory (AU version 1.50) plays well in tempo, but when I want to bounce (export track as audio file) the Ivory plays totally out of tempo.
Even when I touch the record button on audio tracks or when I want to record my mix on 2 audiotracks, the Ivory plays out of tempo.
Even freezing the Ivory track gives the same problem.
Then I need to go back to my last saved version.
The same actions with Emagic, Native Instruments and Spectrasonics AU plugins, and everything works fine.
I throwed away already the Ivory prefs, no positive results.
My Ivory sample files are on a separate 400 GB internal disk, and my Audio I'm recording on a external Glyph disk.
I think I have this problem since I've upgraded from Logic 7.1.1 to 7.2 but I'm not sure. I didn't worked long with Logic 7.1.1.
I don't work in Protools, but I use the DAE and Direct TDM (no Core Audio)
It happens in the most simple application: no DAE or AU plug-ins, only one Ivory AU plug-in.
This is my configuration:
Ivory AU (Audio object-Direct TDM-Instr) output ESB 1-2 -> input ESB1 2 (Audio Object-DAE) -> Output 1-2 of my digidesign interfaces
Ivory becomes totally unusable for me this way. Is someone having the same problems?
Suggestions?
Wim Claes
Setup
Logic 7.2
Protools 7.1cs4
192, 2x96i, 1x 96 interface
G5 dual 2,7 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 4 GB RAM

I tried already a lot of things, but it is very clear:
1. Instantiating Ivory as AU- Ivory plays in tempo
2. Record enable an audio track in the arrange window - Ivory plays out of tempo
This happens with the default song of logic, no other plugins or AU-instruments are instanciated.
I can not find a way to convert my Ivory-midi to audio without the timing problems;
Bouncing, freezing, record to audio, export as audio file: all those things result in timing problems.
I tried this all with emagic plugins (ES2...) and Native Instruments plugins and then I don't have the tempo problem

How to combine Digital Output, a delay and Analog Input in a fast loop

I need to develop a process loop that runs at least at 250 Hz that performs a Digital output, than a delay of 50 microseconds and than an analog input of all the channels. All will be done using ATI MIO 64E3 card. Of course, the acquired data will be processed, displayed and saved. The loop will be running for several minutes until user stops it.

The fastest and most precise timing will occur if you use hardware timing. You can apply hardware timing to analog input on the E Series boards, but not the digital lines. Let's focus on the analog input first. Continuous waveform scanning uses a scan clock, which can be the board's internal one or an external one which you apply. If you want to scan all the channels 50 microseconds after a digital rising edge, then you need an external signal to signify that scan clock.
The E Series boards also have 2 counter/timers onboard that you can use for this purpose. You can set up a retriggerable pulse generation operation, where the counter receives a trigger and then on the user specifications, produces a pulse. You can have that route to the analog input scan clock.
The trigger signal for the counter is that digital pulse. As I mentioned earlier, there is no hardware timing for the digital lines on an E Series board. We do have other digital boards (653x family) that have hardware timed operations if precision is important. If you are satisfied with software's resolution (in the milliseconds), then you can call the E Series board digital function in a loop with a software timer. That digital line can route to the counter to act as the trigger.
So, on the programming side, you can have three separate and independent operations in parallel. One is for the digital function to output on that line every so often. Another is for the counter set at the retriggerable pulse generation. The last is for the analog input. I will describe this in terms of LabVIEW, but it can be done in a similar fashion with the NI-DAQ function calls or Measurement Studio.
The digital examples are in the LabVIEW >> Examples >> Daq >> Digital >> E-Series directory. The Generate Retriggerable Pulse example is in the LabVIEW >> Examples >> Daq >> Counters >> DAQ-STC directory. The E Series boards use the DAQ-STC timing chip.
Go to the LabVIEW >> Examples >> Daq >> anlogin >> strmdisk.llb directory and start with the Cont Acq to Spreadsheet File. This shows how to continuously acquire data and stream it to disk while displaying the data on a chart. Streaming to disk is the efficient way to save data while you are acquiring, as it eliminates the overhead of always opening and closing the file through the iterations of the loop. This saves to a file that can be opened by other applications (Excel, Word, etc.), but it is not as fast as writing to a binary file, which must be opened and read back through LabVIEW. However, for your ~250 Hz rate, it should be fine. Then, go to the LabVIEW >> Examples >> Daq >> anlogin >> anlogin.llb and look at the Acquire N Scans -ExtScanClk example. This shows how to apply the scan clock. Here, the AI Start that you saw in the previous example is replaced by 4 VIs (3 AI Clock Config's and the AI Control). Make those changes to the first example and then add a constant 0 to the AI Control parameter for total scans to acquire. That specifies the continuous operation. The File >> VI Properties >> Documentation menu item of the example describes the physical connections.
If you aren't using LabVIEW, use the NI-DAQ User Manual and the NI-DAQ Help file installed on your machine. You can look at your AT E Series User Manual at the http://www.ni.com/manuals pages for more information on the hardware. Also, if you want to route those signals internally on the board, you can find some entries in the KnowledgeBase at the http://www.ni.com/support pages.

Anyone know why my Iphone 4 will not update to the 5.0? It gets to the very end and says network timed out error 3259, Anyone know why my Iphone 4 will not update to the 5.0? It gets to the very end and says network timed out error 3259

Anyone know how to fix this problem..... I am trying to update and download the latest version for my phone and it gets all the way to the end and says network timed out error 3259 or something. I have tried a so many times and get the same answer. I have restarted the computer, internet, etc. NOTHING. HELP!!!

Are you doing this over a wireless network. This happened a long time ago when we had DSL. I got sick of it and went to broadband thru our cable company.
If you are using wireles router, use a cable and connect your computer via the cable to the modem or wireless router if you have a location for the cable upon the wireless router. I think it is a cat 5 cable that connects the computer to your modem or wireless router. This way you Internet should not time out.
I hope this helps you. It is hard to identify the issue not knowing your Internet connect setup. Some modems and wireless routers have more Port options.

When I use the selection tool to move vector points and bend edges, I only see the change in wire frame.

When I use the selection tool to move vector points and bend edges, I only see the change in wire frame. Once I commit by letting go of the mouse button, the object does change. It just previews with a wire frame. I would like to see the preview change on the solid object. Is there a setting somewhere?
I sure hope I am explaining this for people to understand .
Thanks
Ed

Hi Ed,
What do you mean by wire frame??And are you using selection or sub-selection tool since you have mentioned about vector point I doubt if it is sub-selection tool.Could you please attach a video demonstrating the issue where we see the mismatch in the preview and the output, so that we can understand the problem better and try to resolve it.
Thanks,

Can anyone help me with Labview/GPIB timing problems?

I am trying to use a very simple VI (downloaded from the NI site) to control a Newport 1830C optical power meter.
I have been spending most of my time trying to use the VI issue a command to read the current displayed power. When I run the VI normally, I get no response from the meter, and the VI simply terminates without any error message. (The "remote" indicator does light on the meter, though, so it seems to be receieving the command.)
However, when I run the VI in the "highlight exectution" mode, everything seems to work just fine, and I receive a correct reading from the meter! Needles to say, this makes it really hard to debug the problem.
My guess is that I have some kind of timing problem, and t
he "highlight execution" feature fixes it by introducing delays. Is this correct? If so, how can I achieve the same thing by putting in delays by hand?
thanks, Whitney White

Whitney,
I agree that this is very likely to be a timing issue. VIs run much slower in highlight execution mode, therefore your instrument may need more time to prepare the data you have requested. Try wiring a delay inline prior to the GPIB reads and/or writes, or try using Service Requests (SRQs) to give the instrument enough time to generate the data it needs to send back to the computer.
Another possibility is that your instrument may not be IEEE 488 compliant. Some older instruments indicate that they are ready to receive data before they really are. Try changing the GPIB bus timing to the slowest setting (in the GPIB Configuration Utility). This only affects the time that the GPIB controller waits before valid data is on the bus and the DAV line i
s asserted (a step in the GPIB handshaking that occurs each time a byte of information is sent to the device) so this may not be effective.
Lastly, you may wish to try the instrument driver for your instrument. There is a contributed driver at this location: LabVIEW Traditional Instrument Driver: Newport Optical Power Meter 1830C. A 'contributed driver' means that someone outside of National Instruments wrote the driver and then submitted it for posting. This driver also contains a good example of adding a time out.

After Effects - CC Vector Blur and Fractal Noise Rendering Issue CS3

Hey,
I am using After Effects for animation. I have drawn everything in Illustrator, imported into AE and added some effects like CC Vector Blur and Fractal Noise to generate water-like textures.
My problem: when I render as an image sequence (or video, or PSD), I don't get the effect. I'm assuming I don't have it properly set up for rendering and I am wondering how I can fix this.
I have precomposed water layers (which are three different layers; a blue solid overlay; and two masked layers with added effects) and added motion blur. Given this is the problematic area, I am also assuming this is where the problem is.
Any advice! Or else I'm screen shot-ing every frame.......ugghh.

Simultaenous digital out and analog in

Hi. I am running into an issue with the simultaneous AI (analog in) and DO (digital out) with Athena (www.diamondsystems.com) and LabVIEW (see the supplied files): The original program example supplied by somebody (the attached 060126 file) runs fine with these two simultaneous operations.
However, for my specific requirements, I would have to put a frame (flat sequence) around the DO part (the attached 060131 file), followed by another flat sequence frame that changes another DO state. The reason that I must do this is that I have 2 valves which change states as the AI operation continuous to run.
I have noticed though, once I put those flat sequence frames around it, the DO pauses and doesn't perform the operation until the AI loop is stopped. I have tried to create various local variables but the issue persists. Would there be a workaround for this? Thanks.

I have taken a look at your code. Based upon your description,
and the fact that I do not have the driver for your device, I am not exactly
sure where the program is pausing. I can give you some suggestions to
resolve your problem. When you use a flat sequence structure, every piece
of code in a frame has to finish execution before the next frame will start
execution. If you have code in parallel (i.e. digital output and analog
input) in one frame and the same in a second frame the digital output and analog
output in the second frame will not start until all the code in the first frame
has finished execution. In your case it you have a while loops for
digital input and output in the first frame. When both of these loops
finish execution, you should see the second frame start shortly after.
From your description what I believe is happening is that the digital output in
the first frame is finishing and waiting for the analog input to finish.
After the analog input loop finishes the second frame can start. If you
want the second frame's digital output to start before the loop finishes
execution you will need to take that code out of the frame.

I had the same problem! I don't know what caused it, possibly slow Internet but I suppose my antivirus or other software could have affected it. Maybe it's an iTunes problem.
After restarting the download at least 5 times in iTunes after it timed out, I found this website. I didn't know this before, but you can download the update in your browser and then apply it to your iPhone in iTunes once it finishes. I used Firefox 4 and it downloaded without timing out once. All you have to do is hold down Shift and then click on Update in iTunes and it will prompt you to select the update that you downloaded and it will apply it.
Try this and let me know how it works!

[Q] Refreshing/Timing problem 21:9-monitor

Hi fellas!
I'm using a Macbook Pro 15" non-retina (Windwith GT-650Mtogether with my AOC q2963pm 21:9 monitor through HDMI. What I have encountered is what I think is a timing-problem. I cannot find the settings which works perfect.
Either, the screen looks a bit grainy at the max resolution of 2560x1080 with the games working (this with Atomatic timing in NVIDIA settings),
or I have a crispy display, but the games ends with a flimmering and black screen after I quit or Alt+Tab out of a fullscreen-game which causes the NVIDIA-driver to stop responding and restarting (using CVT Reduced Blank).
I had to create a custom resolution in order to use the full 2560x1080 resolution instead of just 1920x1080. I tried to manually create something that should meet the requirements, but with no luck. Either, the display goes black, or I get the same problems as listed above.
Here are the specs of the screen:
Resolution: 2560x1080 @ 60Hz
Scanning Frequency: H: 30-99 KHz / V: 50-76 Hz
Pixel Frequency: 185.58 MHz
Does someone know which settings I should use? The only thing I can think of to fix this is buying a Displayport-cable as "no one" ohters is experiencing this issue. Will this easy solution fix it?

Try the Thunderbolt connection.

Jagged edges on vector art and fonts on R1900 using AI CS5 in OSX

OS 10.6.4 (Mac Pro 2x2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 12GB ram 1066 MHz DDR3)
Problem with the R1900 Printer and AI CS5
I have been using the same printer with CS4 without any trouble whatsoever for at least 5yrs. Beautiful quality prints without so much as itch and great color control...
In October I finally made the switch to CS5 and my printing capability goes to hell.
Quality printing straight from AI to a non-postcript inkjet printer such as the R1900 doesn't seem to be an option anymore...
I get jagged edges on vector art and fonts. I do graphic arts/logos/prints and this is a huge issue...!
Apparently I have to save my AI files as PDFs and print from there, but this poses extra steps, troubles in sizing, colors, page set up...
I mean nothing beats being able to print direct from AI... I cannot understand what the problem is all of a sudden.
At home I have a late '06 Mac Pro running CS4 and printing successfully to a C88 epson inkjet printer under OSX 10.5
What is the matter, please help, this is cramping my style and performance???
thank you
JF
New York

Ok this would not be a problem with 10.4.11 on a Power PV Mac but on an Intel Mac running 10.6.4 or running anything above 10.4.11 on any Mac you would need a postscript driver. Problem, there is no postscript driver for this model Printer this is actually a photo quality printer, that is what it does best.
So what to do the best one can do is to save the file as a pdf and print from Acrobat. There is no other way regardless of what one would like and expect.

DV6-3122us/ after and during Factory restore problems

This is a DV6-3122us 64 bit notebook, 500GB hard drive, 4 GB ram, Windows 7 Home Premium OS. I restored it from the Factory purchased recovery discs, and I had a problem with that, had to do it 3 times kept locking up at 9% on the restore part. It finally went through then said couldn't install, turned it off, and it was installed. This is Windows 7 Home Premium. Now I have lock ups when updating. The HP assistant loads but says it has errors at the very top, and doesn't show the system information at the bottom. The hard drive only shows 80 GB allocated, and 397 unallocated. This is all the original hardware, which has been tested and has passed, memory has passed. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Right click on the partition ( C:\ ) you want to Extend into the now unallocated partition and click on Extend Volume.
2. Click on Next for the Welcome to the Extend Volume Wizard window
3. Select the amount of space in MB you want to use from the unallocated partition to use to Extend this partition
4. Select all of the available space .
5. Click on Next.
6. Click on Finish in the Completing Extend window
You will now see the Disk Management console with the new extended partition volume ready to be used.
7. Close Computer Management.
******Clicking the Thumbs-Up button is a way to say -Thanks!.******

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". Pics and videos have been deleted too.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted. I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either. Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again? Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost? I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be. Please help if you can.

I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!!
