VI help for pressure transducers

Hey all-
I am completely new to LabView, and I've been struggling to teach myself though it to get the results I'm looking for recorded. I'm hoping someone could take a few minutes and lend me a helping hand.
I need (what I'm assuming is) a very simple VI that will read and record pressures from my two pressure transducers on screen and save out to an excel file so I can work with the data. I have two Omega pressure transducers, one is a P209X (reads 0-30PSI) and the other is a P309X (reads 0-3000 PSI). Both have a 0-5V output.
I've set up a crude VI that I can read the voltage outputs from my two transducers, but I'm not sure how to get it converted to PSI. I'd prefer a numeric LCD type number display rather than a line graph for both pressures so i can set my pressures, and then cycle the system and record the data.
I'm using LabView 2013 with a USB-6216, and have the P309x on A0 and the P209X on A1.
I'm basically recording input pressure and output pressure on either side of a regulator.
I certainly appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Carey

Hi Jim/Doug-
Thanks for the help. I'm trying to incorporate your Vi but am having troubles. As I mentioned, I'm very new to LV, and can't stumble my way around. Can you modify the VI i've attached to get what I'm looking for? Then I can duplicate it for the other PDX. I can't seem to get mine set up like yours, and I'm spending useless hours trying to figure it out.
I've scaled my transducers in NI Max, though I don't know how to tie them into LV. What do I need to do? Sorry for the trouble.
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards,
Carey.

Need help getting DPX101 pressure transducers to read correctly in labview

hello, i previously posted about some resource errors i was getting,
but i fixed that and now i am simply having trouble getting the
correct through labview.
basically i have no experience with labview, and for this project one
of my professors handed me a box with stuff in it and said here you go
good luck, so i've been learning everything from scratch.
the way the system is laid out is I have an SCC2345 (tan box) with i
believe a PWR02 in it.
There are 4 modules, 2xSCCTC02 and 1 SCCAI01 and 1 SCCAI02. I have
familarized myself with the specs of these modules, and the SCCTC02 is
self explanatory, but the SCCAI0Xs have the following specs.
SCC-AI01
Input Range: +/- 42V
Output Range: +/- 8.4V
Gain: 0.2
SCC-AI02
Input Range: +/- 20V
Output Range: +/- 10V
Gain: 0.5
There are 3 pressure transducers, all Omega DPX101, of the following
pressures: 5000psi, 500psi, 250psi. Each of these is wired into their
own Omega ACC-PS1 power supply.
The ACC-PS1 has the following specs:
ACC-PS1
Excitation Voltage: 18V
Excitation Current: 2mA
Voltage Gain: 1 +/- 2%
Output Signal FS Peak: 10V
Input Power: 2 9V Battery
The system is laid out as exactly shown here:
http://hilltop.bradley.edu/~award/SP/gts.PNG
Using a DAQ assistant, i have it acquire all 5 values at 1000 times
per second and then it updates it to a text file every 100ms.
The pressure sensors each came with calibration sheets and these had a
sensitivity value, and i thought the sensitivity was the "scaling"
value used in the DAQ Assist (5000psi = 1.1mv/psi, 500psi = 10.30 mv/
psi, 250psi = 19.90mv/psi). I entered in these values and i ran some
tests and i was getting a value of 18.6 from labview when a pressure
of 1000psi was applied to the 5000psi sensor. how do i get this to
output 1000 for when 1000psi is applied?
Also, the pressure transducers have a "bias voltage" listed on the
calibration sheets, 8.2 V. Would this have an impact also?
any ideas on what i should do?
is my problem clear enough?
Thanks

How can I configure NI PCI 6221 and DAQ SCB-68 for pressure sensors?

Hello
everybody,
I am using the measuring board (NI PCI 6221) and DAQ
SCB-68 for the data acquisition.
With the DAQ-Assistant I created AI for the voltage of
pressure sensors. In a big indicator panel from this DAQ-Assistant I see the
voltage for both sensors in the correct size. But if I set sensors in the
blockdiagramm to control the signals for sensor one I get a wrong voltage size
and for sensor 2 nothing.
How can I configure this data acquisition equipment to
get the correct signals?
Thanks a lot for your help.

I do not know the type of sensor you are using. But pressure transducers may have a very low output voltage(in the mVolt range). They also need an excitation voltage. Here is an introduction. http://focus.ti.com.cn/cn/lit/an/sloa034/sloa034.pdfThen working with pressure sensors I always use 3 stages in the circuit.
1 Instrumentation Amplifier as a preamp
2 filterstage
3 Final amp and output buffer
(you may combine stage 2 and 3)
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Connecting Multiple Omega PX209 (Pressure Transducers) to NI 9205

I am trying to connect 4 Omega PX209-030G5V pressure transducers to my NI 9205 module and read data through the DAQ Assistant VI. I cannot figure out how to wire the transducer correctly. The specs sheet for the transducers is at http://www.omega.com/ppt/pptsc.asp?ref=PX209_PX219. So far I can't get the hardware to talk to the VI. I know the rest of my configuration is working because I have a set of thermocouples wired through another module and the VI is detecting those. I think what I need help with most is understanding which wires should go where, suggestions on how to get four wires into COM or AI SENSE if needed, and how to work the DAQ Assistant for a pressure transducer.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Greg

Are you using the 9205 in differential or single ended configuration?
Regardless, the sensor needs an external power supply in the range of 7 to 35VDC it looks like from your specs.
The positive of this supply will connect to Pin 1 (red)
The common of this supply will go to AI- if differential, or COM if single ended. It also goes to Pin 2 (black) of the sensor.
The output of the sensor is Pin 3, white, this goes to AI+ if differential, else AI if single ended.
0psi will ouput 0V, 30psi should output 5V. Thus 1 volt per 6 psi.
Can't help with DAQ Assistant, I have never used it. You could possibly try the test panels in MAX to verify your connections/signals.

Changed Pressure transducers with 0-5Vdc from the old 0-10. PVis way off!

Im a newby with labiew as of last week. I was tasked to change the range of new pressure transducers that were recently installed in our lab application. I am currently running 6.1 with Fp-PS-4 , FP-1601 , FP-AI-112 , and FP-RTD-124 Hardware. We are changing over from Omegadyne model PX02C1-015AV to swagelok's S-model, output 0-5, Supply V dc= 10-30 V. The pinout on the connector has already been changed and tested. I also changed the range on the points of change to 0-5 and the pv is reading way off. Im sure there is a scale in a block diagram chart somewhere, but I cannot locate it. Can anyone point to any areas where I may make these changes to correct this problem?

Hi Dano,
You might check the Channel Configuration settings in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). Under Remote Systems, expand the I/O modules underneath your 1601. Once you click on the I/O module that you are reading your transducer on, you'll see in the window to the right a Channel Configuration tab. Here, you can check the Data Configuration setting for the input Range. Make sure this is set to the expected signal range from your sensor.
Cheers,

Are pressure transducers linear?

I'm using a Spectramed/Statham P23XL pressure transducer with a Gould (13-6615-50) signal conditioner. I can get 0-2.5V out the back of the SC to map to 0-100mmHg, but outputs below 20mmHg are inaccurate/near zero. How do I get these lower level readings; or do I need to account for some non-linearity - if so how?

The performance that you see is fairly typical of many types of pressure transducers. The deflection of the metal diaphram can not be made to be exactly linear across the entire range of operation. The manufacturer will typically specify a single slope that has been determined at the full scale output level. It is a sound practice to try to limit the use of a transducer to the 40-80% range to avoid the necessity of a complicated calibration procedure. If you wish to use the entire range of the sensor, you will need to perform a detailed ( 4th or 5th) order calibration with an emphasis on the lower 20% of the pressure range.

Creating search help for a field in AdHoc Query

Hi
We have created an infoset based on LDB PCH.
(The infoset contains object type O only).
For the object-id field the users want search help when choosing this field for selection.
Using "start via selection screen" does not give a good solution.
Can anyone explain how I can create search help for fields in an infoset?

Need to restrict values in F4 help for Batch Characteristic

Hi,
I need to restrict values in F4 Help for a batch characteristic based on values entered for another characteristic. I could not find any BADI or Exit for this purpose. There is a BADI CACL_VALUE which is triggered after an entry is selected from dropdown list but nothing when we press F4. I thought of using Object Dependency but I need to write a programming logic for the requirement. Please let me know if there is any way to write program in Object Dependency or any other way for this requirement.

Hi nikhil simha,
first of all, find out which search help is called.
[Hierarchy of the Search Help Call|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0b/32e9b798da11d295b800a0c929b3c3/frameset.htm]
may help you.
If you know the search help, you may enhance it, but first of all you should check the where-used-list and make sure that the search help shows the requested behavior only in the context where you want it to.
If it is your own program, you may be better off to create your own search help and define the triggering fields as search help interface input fields. Then you can use the values to filter results.

Search Help for Vendor Feild not getting populated in the Screen Element

Hi Everyone,
In transaction Miro, I get a POP-UP for Invoicing Party i.e. Vendor and Users required a custom search help.
The Search help for Vendor(LIFNR) is KRED_C and i appended a Z search help under this.
Now that the search help exists and I can drill down the values too but when i select/choose any value, that value is not getting populated in Screen feild.
is there any validation I need to do for this.
Please suggest me... I checked SDN there are many things but i couldn't figure out wat i need to do and where I need to modify.
Regards,
Raj

Dear Hema,
Could you please tell me how many internal tables you are using to store the data for display.
I observerd that you have lt_stock and lt_mat2 declared in the part of the program
>DATA: lv_stock TYPE lty_stock.
>DATA: ltmat2 TYPE TABLE OF lty_mat.
you have displayed above, however you are also using ls_stock and lv_stock .
>IF p_ztotal = ' '. "line
>WRITE 18 ls_stock-matnr.
>WRITE 38 lv_stock-strgr.
>
>ELSEIF ztotal = 'S'.                             "subtotal
    >WRITE: 15 ls_stock-nrmit.
    >WRITE 32 lv_stock-dispo.
    >WRITE 43 lv_stock-fevor.
>ELSE.                                            "total
    >WRITE: 15 'TOTAL'(016), ls_stock-prgrp.
>
>ENDIF.
Are those for displaying some other information?
Also the problem of display you are facing can also be because there are no records to be displayed which satisfies the selection criteria.

Rajesh.

How to create a F4 help for a report selection screen field

hi,
can any one guide me to create F4 help for a field in a selection screen in a report program,plz give me a sample code

hi,
Here are the following ways
1.with the help of match code objects we can create the F4 Functionality for Field.
Syntax is :
PARAMETERS: p_org LIKE t527x-orgeh MATCHCODE OBJECT zorg.
2. One more thing is we can do it with Search Help's also.
3. Even we can do it HELP Views also.
Help Views:
You have to create a help view if a view with outer join is needed as selection method of a search help
The selection method of a search help is either a table or a view. If you have to select data from several tables for the search help, you should generally use a database view as selection method. However, a database view always implements an inner join. If you need a view with outer join for the data selection, you have to use a help view as selection method.
All the tables included in a help view must be linked with foreign keys. Only foreign keys that have certain attributes can be used here. The first table to be inserted in the help view is called the primary table of the help view. The tables added to this primary table with foreign keys are called secondary tables.
The functionality of a help view has changed significantly between Release 3.0 and Release 4.0. In Release 3.0, a help view was automatically displayed for the input help (F4 help) for all the fields that were checked against the primary table of the help view. This is no longer the case in Release 4.0.
As of Release 4.0, you must explicitly create a search help that must be linked with the fields for which it is offered (see Linking Search Helps with Screen Fields ).
Existing help views are automatically migrated to search helps when you upgrade to a release higher than 4.0.
A help view implements an outer join, i.e. all the contents of the primary table of the help view are always displayed. You therefore should not formulate a selection condition for fields in one of the secondary tables of the help view. If records of these secondary tables cannot be read as a result of this selection condition, the contents of the corresponding fields of the secondary table are displayed with initial value.

pernr LIKE p0000-pernr,
begda LIKE p0000-begda,

werks LIKE pspar-werks,
end of i_final.
i want to display this i_final table in alv. for that i genetrate one fieldcatalog
PERFORM fcat USING:
                  'I_FINAL' 'PERNR' 'P0000' 'PERNR' '15' 'X' '',

                  'I_FINAL' 'WERKS' 'PSPAR' 'WERKS' '14' 'X' ''.
in custom table zposition, i maintain serch help for custom field "PLANS".
then i used reuse_alv_grid_display.. for all the std fields along wit custom fields
i got f4 all std fields but for my custom i am not getting the f4 help
how can i get the F$ help for this custom fields Zposition-plans..
plz give some idea

Hi
In that Ztable against the field
PLANS give the check table name as <b>T528B</b>
then it will automatically give the search help
or you can create your own search help(elementary) and add to that field
Reward if useful

Anji
