VirtualBench looks greate but it would be nice if the scope were 12 bit instead.

The virtual bench hardware concept is awesome.   The price is right and the mix of hardware is perfect ( a small switch matrix would be a cool addition) but my only real complaint is the scope - it would be nice if it were 10-12 bit instead.   I would definitely pay an additional $500-1000 for the additional resolution.   The rest of the specs are great.

We have been using LeCroy 12 bit scopes.  Most scopes I've seen are 8 bit.   We do a lot of small signal stuff (mV).   Differential probes can be used to amplify but we have found that extra resolution works better.   Most of the time we are analog and we really don't need speed just resolution.  I would settle for 10 bt but after having used  12 bit scope I don't think I would settle for an 8 bit scope.
I'll have to give LeCroy a look one of these days then.  I'm a fan of Tekronix scopes.  I'm sure they have 12 bit as well, but are likely more expensive than I would want to spend for my setups.
As far as the DMM, I've been spoiled by the PXI-4072 for far too long to want to go down to a 5 1/2 digit DMM.  Of course, the PXI-4072 also costs $800+ more than the Virtual Bench.  Might be worth the hit.

  • What are the best instagram video settings using Compressor 4?  The outputs I have created look clean HD in camera roll.  When I view video in instagram preview it looks great, but then when i post it the quality gets blurry. Any advice?

    I have read that you should resize the frame to 640 by 640 or 1000 x 1000, and have tried both.  I shot the footage on canon 70d using 720p60fps, and edited the footage with iMovie.  Its been frustrating to see the finished product look great on iPhone, iPad, or mac but once i post the video- the quality gets blurry when you focus on the faces that are in focus.  My footage is basketball action shots from a high school game.  Any advice would be huge, I been looking for an answer to this for a month. 

    Simple export a ProRes 422 file, upload that by itself.  Facebook, Vimeo, YoutTube, etc, all compress the video themselves.  So don't compress it first, just upload it and let them do their own compression.

  • Preview Browser looks great, but it's a mess on the web

    Hello,
    I'm a novice dreamweaver girl, and just uploaded my site. I
    did it with a template I designed, and when I preview it in
    dreamweaver using firefox or internet explorer, it looks how I
    hoped it would. But when I type in the url, the site is not at all
    what it looks like in the preview. For example, in the preview, I
    have a widget menu that's small and on the left side, but on the
    web, the menu goes horizontally across the whole screen. Also, in
    the preview, there are photos going down the right side of the
    page, but on the web, the photos and the text come one after
    another, with large amounts of space.
    My basic questions are:
    1. What am I doing wrong?
    2. Why does the preview look okay and different from the web?
    3. Does this have something to do with the template I used?
    Thanks! Any advice would be appreciated!

    Post a link to the page, please.

  • My photos looked great but when I made a book they all appeared to be corrupted in the pdf preview?

    My photos looked great but when I made a book  in iphoto 09 they all appeared to be corrupted in the pdf preview? There is a white triangular shape with random  horizontal lines running through each photo in the ibook preview.  Took it to the Genius bar, after a week of fooling with it including wiping it clean and resinstalling the OS the same thing happens.

    A LOT of them dont appear.
    What do you see in the window when you click on those?  A blank, black window?  An exclamation mark?  What?

    When trying to import music files I get an error message Thea says "importer reported a generic error". Also when editing video, screen views look great but when I transfer to PC or flash drive video quality is very poor. Any suggestions?

    Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 (presumed 64 bit).....
    1. Music files and error message...are these music files from iTunes? If so, convert them to .wav in iTunes to convert them to wav version, and then import the .wav version into Premiere Elements 13 project using Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace's Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the wav version to the Soundtrack.
    The following are the instructions for the iTunes converting
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1550
    If any problems with the instructions, please let me know, and I will go through them with you.
    2. How you set up the project and the export settings that you select greatly influence your end product result.
    a. What are the properties of the source media?
    b. What project preset did you (manually) or the project (automatically) set to match the properties of the source media.
    (If you do not know, please tell us what you see for the readings of Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio - even
    if the fields look grayed out.)
    c. For your export...Publish+Share/Computer/and then what? And what preset? Did you use the default settings of the preset or did you
    customize the export settings of the preset under the preset's Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thanks.

    You will need to talk to Apple, they would be the only ones who can tell you. We are just a user to user forum here.

    With green chroma concept, I removed the green background.  Now the green background is seen black. I don't want to have any other background clip, but I would like to change the background black to white. Same like the advertisement clip in the Apple Website.  Please help me.

    If you want the whole of the project background to be white, you can change the colour in FCP X preferences.
    If you just want white for a section or clip, use a custom Generator from the Generators Library and change it to white in the Inspector.

  • New, to me, Leica D-LUX 6. I just upgraded my Mac to Yosemite. I can't open the RWL files even though I upgraded the DNG file. I am using Photoshop 6. It does taks wonderful jpg. pics but, I would love to have the RAW files open.

    Files on my computer. I upgraded the DNG file. I am using Photoshop 6. This camera takes pretty good pictures in JPG. but I would love to have the RWL files open.
    Does anyone have any idea of what works?

    Realised pretty soon some thing was not right with images but continued work flow with out problems with any other import
    Exactly what was not right?
    Most likely a hardware problem causing corruption in the transfer of files from SD card to your computer. It could be the SD card itself, card reader, hard disk or memory.
    Side issue:
    Open Lightroom 4 on macbook air import to HD
    Drag and drop in Lightroom on to external HD
    why don't you save yourself a step and import directly to the external HD (and thus also produce one less place where file corruption can happen)?

  • Photo's sharpened in LR4 look great but terrible when exported.

    What am I doing wrong?
    I start with a great photo, it doesn't need much sharpening, just a bit to make it pop. It looks great in LR (photo is RAW) but then when I export it as a full sized Jpeg and put it into Blurb (because I'm making a photo album) it looks terrible. Strands of hair kind of look like dotted lines rather than smooth strands of hair and the edges of things look all pixilated. It didn't in LR even when magnified.
    I've tried chaning my output sharpening to low.
    I went back into LR and removed all sharpening (which makes the photo now look a little 'soft') and re-imported it and it looks much better but it no longer has that real beautiful sharp look like it did in LR.
    How can I keep that sharp look?
    Thanks.

    How would I get one of the pages into a file to print locally? I thought the Blurb pages were kind of stuck within their software so that even when I export the person printing would have to have Blurb software or something?
    Hope that makes sense. I'd like to be able to do this just not sure how to go about it.
    Thanks.
    This whole discussion has been on the basis that you are usinf Blurb's Booksmart, yes?
    If so, Booksmart>File>Print is the Blurb recommended way of locally proofing your book. By default it will print the whole book on whatever printer you have set up, but the print dialogue gives you the option under 'Print Range' to select select 'Pages' and one or more  page numbers to limit the trial print to just one page.
    Being curious, and having a wet morning to spare, I did a bit of playing around, and I think I have established to my complete satisfaction that these artifacts are purely a result of Booksmart scaling the image whilst in edit mode. I exported a jpeg at various sizes and with a variety of output sharpening options, and none of these displayed any visible artifacts when displayed in a variety of Windows viewing programs. I then imported these into Booksmart and placed them onto pages with a number of different sized image containers. Some of these showed jpeg artifacts, and some didn't but there was no apparent correlation to the original sizes or sharpening.
    I then zoomed the Booksmart page using the slider at the bottom of the screen, and the artifacts increased / decreased / vanished as I did so, on all of the different pages, demonstrating that they were a function of Booksmart's scaling. I then printed one of the pages that was showing quite bad artifacts (using the technique above) and it was perfect!
    The two images below show the same page at different zoom levels, with and without artifacts. (I don't know if this is going to work, because when I insert them into this message, they are re-scaled and both display artifacts - let's see wehat they look like when posted?).
    Anyway - I'm confident that the case is proven!

  • JavaFX: looks great, but why not integrated in Java?

    I browsed some JavaFX tutorials, read some articles and played with JavaFXPad. JavaFx looks great!
    I did this because I heard about this new scripting language with tight Java integration. JavaFXPad and some others tools using JavaFx are written in Java. So why do we need a separate JavaFX interpreter/tool? I hoped to write some nice JavaFXScripts and just call them on all our computers that already have the Java 1.6 JRE installed.
    Or is JavaFX just bleeding edge and is planned to be integrated in future JREs?

    Didn't bother read the link, did you? Don't bother answering that. I know you didn't because the very first sentence on the very first page tells you that Groovy is built for the JVM.
    Oh, and regards to "third party external"...

    Groovy's already there. Groovy scripts are compiled to bytecode and run on the JVM. I recommend actually reading the link. You might accidentally learn something. ;o)

  • If I rest my chin on the desk, the display looks great, but...

    that's not a very comfortable way to work. I just bought this mbp 13" day before yesterday. It's the glossy display.
    It's way too bright. burns right thru text. My ical is almost unreadable. So I tried adjusting the brightness and contrast. Doesn't work. If I open it up to the max, tho, and get my eyes level with the keyboard it looks great. Are they ALL like this? Is there anything I can do?

    Some manufacturers seem to think brighter screens mean better screens, which to some extent is correct, however, the brightness I experienced with my original MBP C2D 15" was painful, it also helped show of the grainy/ shimmery effect quite beyond belief, inducing eye strain within minutes and migraine within 20 minutes use.
    The 17" MBP I have now still has a bright screen, but nowhere near as bright as the 15". Bright enough, not grainy / shimmery.
    Just goes to show occassionally, even Apple can get something right

  • I exported a iphoto slideshow to desktop, converted it to mpg file by using BURN app, burned to DVD and exported to a USB flashdrive. The DVD looks great but flashdrive is extremely fuzzy. What is the difference and how can I make flashdrive sharper?

    I exported an iphoto slideshow to desktop, converted it to mpg file by using the BURN app, burned it to a DVD and exported it to a USB flash drive. The DVD looks great and very sharp but the slideshow on the USB flash drive is extremely fuzzy. What is the difference and how can I make the slideshow on the flash drive look as sharp as the DVD?

    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • MacBook Pro Retina - Images in PS look great, but when uploaded to web too big and distorted

    Part of the reason I hated using my Mac for graphic and web design is that when I create images in adobe photoshop everything looks amazing. However, when I upload them to the web, they are way too big and look distorted, this includes text.
    I'm trying to make a text logo with a transparent background. When I create it in photoshop the size I want it looks fine and clear, but once it's uploaded to the web it looks way too big and the font is blurred. How can I fix this? I use the Adobe Cloud, so I have the latest version.
