Voltage and Frequency concerns

Hi,
I am planning to buy a Mac Mini in the US. According to specs,
US Mac Mini:
# Line voltage: 100-240V AC
# Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz, single phase
# Maximum continuous power: 110W
The voltage and frequency in my country is 220-240 volt, at 50 hertz frequency. So, if I were to buy a Mac Mini in the US, and bring it back with me to Asia, will it sill work in my country?
Thank You.

I am trying to configure my SCXI-1540 card for excitation voltage and frequency using MAX - but it is not giving me that option when I click on the card and then properties, am I looking in the wrong place?

I am trying to configure my SCXI-1540 w/1315 card for excitation voltage and frequency using MAX - but it is not giving me that option when I click on the card and then properties, am I looking in the wrong place?
I have LabVIEW Express 7.0 Professional - SCXI-1000 Chassiss - along with SCXI-1112, and SCXI 1520/1314 - cable to the PCI-6052E is attached to the 1520 card.
MAX says it recognizes all the cards in the chassiss.

Jeremy, Thanks for the reply.
I tried to set up the system as DAQmx.
I had MAX auto-detect the set-up - and it recognized all the cards - but did not select the 1315 accessory on the 1540 card - I had to do that manually - but in the configuration section I would select the accessory and it would deselect itself. I had to get out of the set-up and then right click on the 1540 card and click on the "Accessories" tab and select the 1315 terminal block that way.
It didn't seem right that the system should behave that way, but I pressed onward.
I then tried to create a new DAQmx Task
When I create new DAQmx task and then click on Analog Input no "Position" Tab appears for me to select, all I get are:
Analog>>Voltage
Analog>>Temperature
Ana
log>>Strain
Analog>>Current
Analog>>Resistance
Analog>>Frequency
Analog>>Custom Voltage with Excitation
Do you think there might be something wrong with either my hardware or perhaps my configuration that is not allowing it to recognize the 1540/1315 in DAQmx?
I had included the system report of what programs I am using, etc. as attached file nireport.txt
After the DAQmx did not work I tried installing everything as Traditional DAQ and it did let me set-up the 1540 Card with Excitation Voltage and Frequency and gain - I then went in to the VI that I had built and tried to use the Express DAQ Assisant to read the channel that I am connected to on the 1315/1540 - when I try to use DAQ Assistant it gives me an error saying that "Device not available in NI-DAQmx. It is possible that the device is being use by traditional NI-DAQ"
Which I guess it is since both configurations are now set-up in MAX.
I would PREFER to use the DAQmx set-up, but I am confused as to WHY it won
't come up with
Analog input>>POSITION>>LVDT
When I try to create a new DAQmx task.
Thanks for the help so far! As you can probably tell I am new at this.

Voltage and Frequency

Hello everyone,
I intend to use my T400 laptop mostly in Germany where I will be studying for the next couple of years. However, I realized that there is a difference in the type of plugs, voltage and frequency used between the two countries. Is the A/C adapter that came with the laptop do the job. May you kindly advise me how to overcome this problem.
Your quick reply is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Georges

Georges, welcome to the forum,
your location shows as Germany, you don't metion which country the other one of the two countries is.
That said, all ThinkPad AC Adapters are rated with input 100V-240V. This means you can use your own adapter, all you will need is the power cable or a travel adapter for the plug.
Hope this helps.

How to calculate rms voltage, rms current and frequency from real time data?

Hello,
I need to calculate the real time rms voltage, rms current and frequency of the received voltage and current graphs using visa read. Actually am trying to monitor the voltage and current parameters of AC load, in this case, am using a set of 4 light bulbs at the moment. Expected frequency is 50 Hz, and rms voltage close to 240v AC, current about 1A.
Attached is the vi picture of what I have been able to achieve so far, courtesy of labview forums. But I need to finally finish this vi by calculating the Vrms, Irms and frequecy. The front panel shows the voltage (Chart V) and current (Chart I) after scaling. Chart VI represents ADC value 0 ~ 1023 of received data. Aray V & I show the binary bits received up to 10 bits of useful data from ADC. Each sine wave from ADC is sampled at 25 samples for the ADC conversion, and sampling frequency of 1.28kH.
I have tried using the RMS vi, but seems I don't know how to configure it correctly to get desired results. Also when I make changes like switching of one of the bulbs so that their is current change, I need to refresh the SERIAL port first before changes show up on the VI. Any ideas on how to improve on this are highly appreciated.
Otherwise, I would appreciate if somebody helps me MODIFY my VI to read the rms values and frequency from received data. This is the last piece of my project, I do appreciate all the help rendered. Am currently using labview labview 2014, student version!
Gavin.

hello,
note that peak voltage (Vpeak) is (240 * 1.414) = 399 V and peak current about 1.414 if intended rms current is 1A.

How to measure current and voltage and rpm with daq device

i am measuring current and voltage and am wondering should i use shunt resistors or current sensors hall effect sensors. i have a pci 6221 and a scc-68 breakout box. what specifications or size should the shunt resistor/current sensor be or should i use another device to measure the currrent and voltage. do i need any other safety device between the resistors, current sensors and the scc-68 breakout box when measuring the current and voltage. will the daq card pci 6221 pick up a signal from the resistor. what terminals should the wires from the resistors and current sensors be connected to in the scc-68. i am using a proximity switch to measure rpm of a motor. should the proximity switch be 2 or 3wire connection. should it have an analog or digital connection and is a power supply required to power the proximity switch and should it have an npn or pnp connection

hello,
i was going to use a 20amp 50mv, or a 20amp 100mv current shunt and connect wires directly into the AI input terminals of the scc-68 from the current shunt would these be suitable. would current shunts such as these be suitable to use http://uk.farnell.com/elc/sh10020/shunt-sh10020-20a-100mv-1-class/dp/1319576 or http://uk.farnell.com/datel/3020-01098-0/shunt-50mv-20a/dp/1339338
is it ok to use either a current shunt or should a hall effect sensor be used such as this http://ie.farnell.com/honeywell-s-c/csla2cd/sensor-hall-effect/dp/1082269 . which of them would be more accurate or are both of them fairly accurate.
when i am measuring voltage can i connect two resistors between the positive and negative of the wires going to the battery and connect two wires from either side of the resistor directly into the analog inputs of the scc-68 and measure the 12-15 volts directly would the pci6221 and scc-68 be able to measure the voltage drop across the resistor.
i wanted to measure rpm also does it matter whether the proximity switch has 2 or 3 wires and should it have an analog or digital/frequency output for cponnecting to the scc-68

Find monitor instance name , device name , resolution and frequency of multiple monitors (VGA and HDMI)

hi,
In my system multiple monitors are connected (VGA and HDMI). In need to know the
monitor instance name , device name , resolution and frequency of each monitor.. any solution?
i used wm class 'WmiMonitorConnectionParams' to determine Video output technology connection type and InstanceName.
But i didn't get the device name , resolution and frequency of each monitor.??
There are other wmi class like :
WmiMonitorBrightnessEvent
WmiMonitorConnectionParams
WmiMonitorRawEEdidV1Block
WmiMonitorListedFrequencyRanges
WmiMonitorDigitalVideoInputParams
WmiMonitorAnalogVideoInputParams
WmiMonitorID

But unable to determine monitor having its corresponding values? please help me to find a solution .
is there any other method to get multi monitor details?
thank you

Hi sumith,
I read some documents about WmiMonitorConnectionParams class, it should be able to get the video putput technology by the D3DKMDT_VIDEO_OUTPUT_TECHNOLOGY enumeration.
D3DKMDT_VIDEO_OUTPUT_TECHNOLOGY enumeration
So what happens when you are using WmiMonitorConnectionParams class? What prevent you? Anyway, please see a example of using WmiMonitorConnectionParams class, maybe you could get some hints on it.

[BASIC question] what is the component I should use to fix an AC voltage and its current (in the same component)

I need urgently to know how use a component which allows me to fix an AC voltage and its current.
I can't use a resistance and an AC current in parallele for my application..
Thanks a lot you will be very helpful !

In general the way to fix both voltage and current requires a source and an impedance, but you say you do not want that solution.
Please tell us exactly what your application is and why a current source in parallel with a resistance is unacceptable.

Acquiring multiple voltage and current sine waveforms, and log them along with the respective time stamp in a file."

"I am doing a data acquisition project using a 16 channel N.I. series 6020E card where I want to capture respective current and voltage sinusoidal signals. I am planning on capturing four pairs of matching current and voltage signals. I planned on taking one reading across the channels every fifteen minutes. This reading will need to be 60 data points per period or 3600 readings per second per channel in order for me to recreate the sine signal to determine the phase angle difference between the voltage and current. I was able to get one channel to capture a signal but could not get more than one working at a time. I am also trying to sycronize the data collection so all samples are with respect to each other. Thanks for any help."

"Hi Cappy,
Could you post this question to the Hardware > Counter/Timer or Hardware > Multifunction I/O forums? I think you will get more responses there. Here is a link.
The hardware is usually a better differentiation since software can support such a huge range of functionality.
The data rates you are talking about sound reasonable. Are you using the USB or the AT interface?
One other thing to be aware of is that the samples taken will not be simultaneous due to the multiplexed nature of the MIO board measurements. However if you know the channel clock rate(output from one of the VI's), then you can calculate the time difference between each measurement and correct your phase measurements by that amount.
If you have more questions, please post this to the other forum and copy all of our discussion to let everyone know what we have talked about already.

I am using the USB connection. If anyone can help with or has a similar VI for this, it owuld be appreciated so I can work on the larger aspect of the total project.

The easiest VI to use for this acquisition is AI Acquire Waveforms in the data acquisition palette in LabVIEW. This VI allows you to perform a finite acquisition from multiple channels on your DAQ board. As John mentioned the acquisition from individual channels will not be truly simultaneous. There will be a slight time shift from one channel to the next on the order of the maximum acquisition speed of the card, 100kHz or 10 microseconds in your case. By accounting for this 10 microsecond delay between consecutive channels you can properly calculate the phase shift between voltage and current.

Company code and operating concern currency in COPA

Dear experts,
I have one controlling area and one operating concern for indian and foreign entitiy with INR as currency for controlling area and one operating concern.
but outside india i have sgd as company code currency.
So i ticked company code currency in operating concern.so while posting revenue in billing .system store in company code as well as operating concern currency.
But all my expenses for outside india entity will store(cost center) in company code currency 'SGD' and controlling area currency 'INR'.
while doing copa assesssment cycle- whether system will store data in copa table in SGD and INR or only INR as operating concern currency.
i need report on operating concern currency as well as company code currency.
regards
Raman Rana

Hi,
If you have ticked 'company code ccy' in KEA0 then all COPA postings (including COPA assessments) will happen in both currencies i.e. company code ccy and operating concern ccy.

Need to make # of periods and frequency required for certain prod category

We have a requirement to make the # of periods and frequency fields required for a certain product category. I know I need to use a field validation for this but my issue is that the product category and product name fields are non-editable. I tried putting the validation on the product ID field but it is not working properly. It still throws the error even when values are entered and regardless of the category. Here is the expression I am trying to use:
IIf(FieldValue('<ProductCategory>')="XYZ", [<NumberOfPeriods>] is not NULL, FALSE)
Any ideas?

You can add the read-only token ($RO$) after any of the segments in the list. For example, the ($RO$) designator below sets Segment1 in structure code 1 to be read-only:
Structure code1|Segment1($RO$)|Segment2...
P.S: After I posted this message, I realized this was not what you are looking for. After all, this may help somebody.

Voltage and messing up my computer

I have a mac computer from the United States, but I moved to Europe now and I would like to know if I buy a European mac charger for my mac, will it do any damage to my computer or is it safe. The voltage is different and I dont want to ruin my computer. Thank you very much.

"When i plugged in my apple computer into my converter, I think my charger was too strong or something because then after a while pop! The breaker popped and now the low setting wont work."
Could you give more details on this please? What, exactly do you mean by 'converter'? The Apple charger supports 'universal voltage' and will work in the US and Europe. All that is required is a plug-adapter to allow you to physically plug the charger into a European socket.
If your unit got 'fried' further investigation is required.

Converting to real and imaginary from amplitude and frequency

basically there is a control of the amplitude and frequncy, so as to changes with resoect of real and imaginary

See the attachment, if this is what you require.
I ve enabled the Unit Label for the Freq control on the FP. Just rt-click & select to enable the Unit Label feature to dorectly key in the Deg [angle] value for the frequency parameter. Normally it takes frequency [or phase angle] in radians in LV.
