What are the maximum sustainable streaming rates to USRP RIO
Hi,
I am using a USRP-2942R. Using one of the example VIs (host based), we created a VI which would record 2 or 4 channels simultaneously to a data file (we use two such devices for the 4 channel capture). We would like to do this continuously for as long as possible. By recording to our Solid State Drive, we can achieve rates of about 20MS/s per channel when capturing two channels or 10 MS/s per channel when capturing 4 channels. However, we cannot seem to go much above this rate. Even if we setup a RAM drive for the file, we still have issues above 20 MS/s for two channels. So, it does not seem that the file writing is the bottleneck.
I am wondering if there is any example code for doing this exact function. Perhaps we have done something wrong in modifying the example we had. Do you know what sample rates we should expect to achive when recording to a RAM file. By comparison, if I run these same USRPs on this same PC but using the Ettus UHD software under Linux Ubuntu 14.04, I can achieve 100MS/s per channel on two channels when recording to a RAM file.
Thanks.

As a quick aside:
PCIe gen 1 is 250 MB/s per lane. The USRP RIO supports PCIe gen 1 x4, for 1 GB/s, but that 'G' is 1000, and not 1024. So in terms of bytes, it ends up being ~953 MB/s. Next, we have to remove some of the throughput for packet overhead and lastly the read response packet size. The larger the read response packet, the less packet overhead incurred. In the end, the USRP RIO can stream about 832 MB/s to the host. 800 MB/s is a nice, round number though.
Each channel has an 16-bit I and Q portion, and there are two channels. Setting the IQ rate (sample rate) to 120 MS/s results in 120 MS/s * 2 channels * 4 bytes/channel = 960 MB/s, which exceeds the total throughput of the PCIe bus. It is impossible to continuously stream both channels at 120 MS/s back to the host. However, lowering the sample rate to 100 MS/s results in 800 MB/s. Or, if you use just one channel, you'll be at 480 MB/s.
That takes care of the throughput, but there are additional issues. There are other things on the PCIe bus, and so bus hiccups may occur and the memory controller may not service the read requests from the device fast enough. If data is not pulled out of the USRP's FIFOs fast enough, the FIFOs will fill up. You can increase the size of the FPGA's DMA FIFOs in the target's settings in the project. A larger DMA FIFO will make the USRP more resilient to these hiccups.
Next, after the data is transfered from the USRP to the host PC's memory, the host PC has to do something with it. If you have complex math or graphs, the rate at which the host PC can pull data from its FIFO may be too slow. If the host's FIFO fills up, then no more data from the FPGA can be transferred. So, you can (1) increase the host's DMA FIFO buffer depth, or two, increase the rate at which the host pulls data from its FIFO (i.e. reduce CPU computation).
There are additional tweaks, such as using Zero Copy DMA, too, which can yield large improvements to streaming performance.
So, in conclusion, high throughput streaming is hard, but it's possible. The Sample Project has to cover a wide range of use-cases and care-abouts, so it cannot perfectly solve every problem. But, it can stream at full rate. By default, the FPGA's FIFOs' buffers are around 1000 elements. If you set the sample size to less than 1000, and set the sample rate to 120 MS/s, and do bursty/finite streaming, you will be able to stream at full rate. Your data will not be contiguous though. To do continuous streaming, you'll need to look into the above suggestions.
Hope this helps!

What are the maximum no of wad reports in a project
Hi all,
what are the maximum no of wad reports in a project.
can you suggest how many people will work on wad reports either one or more than one.
can you provide me example scenerio.
thanks,
cheta.Hi ,
The number of WAD Reports depends on your Reporting requirement.
You can either have one WAD for one Report each. or you can also have more than one report in a single WAD.
Could you please be more specific in what exactly your requirement is??? -
What are the maximum numbers of parameters that a subvi can be obtained?
What are the maximum numbers of parameters that a subvi can be obtained?
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean. Do you mean to ask how many parameters you can pass to a subVI? That would be a very large number because a connector pane can have a dozen or so terminals--and if each terminal is a cluster... You could pass a very large number indeed.
Having said that however, you probibly wouldn't want to. Remember the more parameters you're passing the more tightly coupled your code is--and the less reusable the code will probibly be.

I need to stream 30MS/s for 2minutes on a hard drive. Anyone did that? What was the platform and the results?
Thanks, fredFred,
The fastest we have been able to stream to disk with the PCI 5112 is 25MS/s on a machine that can stream raw data to disk at 130+MS/s. One thing to keep in mind is that you can't actually get 30MS/s for you sample rate with the 5112. The valid sample rates are 100/n MS/s where n is an integer value. Therefore, if you enter 30MS/s for your sampling rate, you will get 33MS/s for the actual sample rate. -
What are the maximum temperatures for my MacBook Pro?
I have this MacBook Pro (3,1). I know there are maximum temperatures at which the system will shut itself down in order to prevent damage. I know this because I have seen it happen a couple of times
When I run Windows, apparently the OS doesn't care to throttle power in order to reduce dangerous heat like Mac OS X does. I now have a program that monitors CPU and GPU heat when I run Windows 7, and it will sound an alarm if they reach a pre-set ceiling.
My question is, how do I know what the emergency shutdown temperature is so I can set the alarm limit appropriately (low enough to trigger before catastrophe, but high enough that it doesn't trigger when things are still okay)?
This page from Intel seems to be telling me that the CPU should not go above 100°C ...does that seem like the number I'm looking for?
Nvidia doesn't seem to say anything about temperatures on the product page. User forums seem only to speculate on what is or isn't safe with no real specifications to back them up.
How can I find these numbers, either from Intel & Nvidia, or from Apple? Or, is there a general ceiling that I can go by to make sure my alarm warns me before an emergency shutdown?Amazon Best Sellers: Best Mac Game Controllers

what is the maximum rate we can achieve using 9403 in digital switching?
i am using 9102 chassi and 9012 controller.
i am trying to program the 9403 as the output port and i am using it for switch on one of my devices.
minimum pulse width should be =1micro secondHave you looked at the specifications in the user manual for the 9403?
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374069e.pdf
Looks likethe update rate for the 9403 using a cRIO 9102 chassis is 7microsec. I don't think you can get 1 microsec pulse width using the 9403, maybe try the 9401 or other high-speed module.

What are the movie to iPod video settings?
I wonder, what are the exact video settings corresponding to selecting "Movie to iPod" when exporting?
The settings left to consider for Movie to MPEG-4 when using H.264 320 x 240 are:
Bitrate: ? kbps
Optimized for: CD / Fetch / Stream
Frame rate
Sync every ? frames
And the advanced video settings:
Limit description to: Main, Extended, Baseline
Encoding: Best / FastAfter a bit of testing I think that a video rate of 622 kbps is used when selecting the internal Movie to iPod export option.
This results in 750 kbps when audio is 128 kbps.
Short videos in iTunes Music Store use 622 kbps video rate (Michael Jackson Billie Jean and Bad, Pixar For the Birds).
Longer videos used 570 kbps video rate (Michael Jackson Thriller, ABC - Lost).
However my original question was what settings to use to match the Movie to iPod export option. -
Apple TV: what are the specific settings I should adjust to?
Hi, there
I really need your help now. I use a DVD ripper to rip DVD to MP4 for Apple TV. I am trying to achieve quality that is close to a movie (m4v) from iTunes. What are the best settings to get this type of quality? I am not concerned with output file size, and I just want to get the very best quality I can. If so, what are the specific settings I should adjust to? The program I am using allows me to adjust video and audio parameters as below:
Video parameters:
Codec: h.264
Resolution: 1280*720
Bit rate: ??? (it is said Up to 5 Mbps, but what is the specific bit rate?)
Frame rate: 24 fps
Audio parameters:
Codec: aac
Sample rate: ???
Bit rate: ??? it is said 16 to 320 Kbps, but what’s the specific figure?
Audio channel: mono, stereo and 5.1 channel, which one should I choose?
Following are the tech specifications I copied from Apple’s official website:
Video formats supported
H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
iTunes Store purchased video: 320 by 240 pixels, 640 by 480 pixels, 720 by 480 pixels (anamorphic), or high-definition 720p
MPEG-4: Up to 3 Mbps, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 720 by 432 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Audio formats supported
AAC (16 to 320 Kbps); protected AAC (from iTunes Store); MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps); MP3 VBR; Apple Lossless; AIFF; WAV; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound pass-through
And I have selected some parameters according to this, please see the above contents, but there is no info about specific video/audio bit rate, audio sample rate, and audio channel. I just wanna know if I want to watch the movie on my 1920×1080 TV, what are the specific settings I should adjust to?
Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks in advance.Well, then how about playback Apple TV uncompatible video files? I have some other video files(such as avi, mkv,not DVD), and I also have a video converter, i know i can convert them to m4v, mp4, or mov that supported by ATV,but the thing is that i still don't know the best specific settings for conversion. Any suggestion? Many thanks for your kind reply.

Maintain Excise Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you define your excise groups. For each excise group, you can also control how various excise invoice transactions will work.
Excise Groups
In this activity, you define excise groups. An excise group allows you to maintain a separate set of excise registers and excise accounts. The RG 23A, RG 23C and PLA serial numbers are created for an excise group.
Recommendation
Under normal circumstances, excise authorities require every business to maintain only one set of excise registers and one set of accounts. But through exemption from the authorities, multiple books can be maintained.
If your company has only one set of excise registers, then you need to maintain only one excise group.
Activities
1. Create one excise group for each set of registers that you need to keep.
1. Assign the excise groups to plants.
2. Maintain whether this Excise group is for a depot or not.
3. If you receive only one consignment for an Excise challan then you can leave GR's per EI as blank. If you receive multiple GR's for a given Excise challan and would like to avail multiple credit mark the GRs per EI as 'Multiple GR's for one excise invoice, multiple credit'. Alternatively if you want to availa the credit only after all the goods receipts have been made mark it as ' Multiple GR for one excise invoice, single credit'.
4. If you want to automatically create Excise invoice during Sales cycle at the time of billing the tick the indicator 'Create EI'
5. During depot sales if you do not want to do RG23D selection and posting separately and would like to complete RG23D selection in one step mark the indicator 'RG23D Auto post'. This will post the selected records into RG23D automatically. You cannot cancel the selection later.
6. If the indicator 'Default GR qty' is marked system will default the Excise challan quantity on to the Goods receipt if the Excise invoice number is given in the pop-up.
7. If the indicator 'Folio no create' is marked system will generate Folio numbers for RG23D during receipt of excise invoice into depot.
8. 'Automatic posting' when ticked will post the Excise invoice other movements automatically along with creation in single step.
9. 'Create Part1 for Block Stock' when marked will create a Part1 during the receipt of material into Blocked stock .
10. 'Create Part1 for STO' when marked will create a Part1 during the receipt of material through inter plant transfers.
11. 'Create Part1 for consumption stock' when marked will create a Part1 during the receipt of material into consumption stock.
Excise Group
Governs which set of excise registers a business transaction will be included in.
Following is the relation between excise group, plant and registration.
Dependencies
In define excise groups in Customizing.
Then, in transactions involving excise duty, for example, when you post a vendor's excise invoice, you specify which excise group you are using. This information tells the system which G/L accounts to post the excise to.
At the end of the period, when you come to prepare your excise registers, you create different sets for each excise group.
Indicates that the plant in question is a depot.
Dependencies
Depots are required to prepare register RG 23D, and follow different procedures for goods receipt and invoice generation.
GR Per Excise Invoice
Multiple GR for one excise invoice , Multiple credit
Multiple GR for one excise invoice , Single Credit
Create Excise Invoice Automatically
Instructs the system to automatically create a Sales and Distribution (SD) excise invoice immediately you create a commercial invoice or a pro forma invoice.
The excise invoice is created in the background.
Dependencies
If you want to make use of this function, you must also define the default plant, excise group, and series groups in Customizing for Sales and Distribution (SD), by choosing Excise Group - Series Group Determination.
RG23D Sales Creation and posting option
RG23D Automatic Option if selected will create Depot excise invoice by posting the selection of excise invoices in single step.
If this is not selected then you need to separately do RG23D selection followed by PGI and then RG23D verification and posting.
If you need automatic posting of RG23D selection then the Post Goods Issue should have been completed before running RG23D selection.
Default excise qty in GR
If this indicator is ticked then while doing Goods Receipt using 'MB01' system will default the excise invoice quantity on to the Goods receipt document.
Folio number for depo
Posting
If this indicator is marked then while creating Excise invoice for other movements system automatically does the Verify and Post. You need not separately Post the excise invoice
Also we can set indicator for creation of part 1 for:
Blocked stock
Stock transport order
Consignment stock
Maintain Series Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you define the different excise series groups within your company. Series groups allow you to maintain multiple number ranges for the outgoing excise documents.
Based on excise regulations and exemptions from the authorities you can maintain multiple number series for outgoing documents. But each of these series has to be declared to the excise authorities.
Activities
Define excise series groups based on type of outgoing document
Assign series group to excise registration ID
If no financial postings are required for an Excise invoice in this seris group then you tick the 'No utilization' indicator.
If the CENVAT has to be paid immediately and you need not wait for the Fort nightly payment then mark the 'Immediate Utilization' indicator.
Example
You could define two series groups, group 001 for excise invoices, and group 002 for 57 F4 documents.
No account postings for CENVAT in sales cycle
No utilization Flag
If you do not need any CENVAT utilization for an excise invoice but would like to just generate an excise invoice then you need to mark this indicator.
IF the flag is checked then system will create an Excise invoice in the given Series group but there will not be any account postings or Part2 postings.
Immediate Utilization of CENVAT
Specifies that when you create an excise invoice, the system immediately pays the amount from CENVAT and creates the Part II entry. Such invoices will not be listed for fortnightly utilization.
If you have both fortnightly and immediate utilization for the same excise group, the account determination within CIN IMG should point to the ED interim account.
Account determination for immediate payment will be done exactly the same as being done for fortnightly utilization program.

Condition-Based Excise Determination
Use
When you enter a purchasing document, for example, a purchase order, the R/3 System automatically calculates the applicable excise duties using the condition technique.
Features
The standard system comes with two tax calculation procedures. TAXINN is only supports condition-based excise determination, whereas TAXINJ supports condition-based excise determination and formula-based excise determination. Both tax procedures contain condition types that cover all of the excise duties and sales taxes applicable.
Since the exact rates of excise duty can vary on a large number of factors, such as which vendor you purchase a material from, or which chapter ID the vendor stocks the material under, you create condition records for every sort of excise duty.
When you come to enter a purchasing document, the system applies the excise duty at the rates you have entered in the condition records.
Activities
Customizing
Make the settings in Customizing Basic India for Logistics General, by choosing Taxes on Goods Movements Account Excise Duties Using Condition Technique and Settings Determination.
These activities include one activity where you define a tax code for condition-based excise determination.
Master Data
Create condition records for all excise duties that apply, and enter the tax code for condition-based excise determination in each.
Day-to-Day Activities
When you enter a purchase order or other purchasing document, enter the tax code for condition-based excise determination in each line item. The system then calculates the excise duties using the condition records you have created.
When the ordered materials arrive, you post the goods receipt and the excise invoice. The system posts the excise duty to the appropriate accounts for deductible input taxes when you enter the excise invoice.
Creating Condition Records for Excise Duty
1. In the command field, enter FV11 and choose .
2. Enter the condition type that you want to create a condition record for and choose .
The Key Combination dialog box appears.
3. Select the combination of objects that you want to create the condition record for.
On the dialog box, Control Code means "chapter ID."
So, for example, to create a condition record for a tax that applies to a combination of country, plant, and chapter ID, select Country/Plant/Control Code.
4. Choose .
5. Enter data as required.
In the Tax Code field, enter the dummy tax code that you have defined.
6. Save the condition record.
Formula-Based Excise Determination
Use
When you execute a business transaction involving materials that are subject to excise duty, the system automatically calculates the duty for you.
Prerequisites
In order for the system to be able to determine which rate of excise duty to apply, you must have maintained all the data on the Excise Rate Maintenance screen, which you can Master Dataaccess from the SAP Easy Access screen by choosing Indirect Taxes Excise Rate Maintenance.
You maintain the following types of data:
Plant master data
You assign each of your plants an excise duty indicator. You can use the same indicator for all the plants with the same excise status from a legal point of view, such as all those that are in an exempt zone.
See also the information about manufacturers that are only entitled to deduct a certain portion of the duty (see Partial CENVAT Credit).
Vendor master data
For each of your vendors with the same excise status from a legal perspective, you define an excise duty indicator. You must also specify the vendor type for example, whether the vendor is a manufacturer, a depot, or a first-stage dealer. You must also stipulate if the vendor qualifies as a small-scale industry.
For each permutation of plant indicator and vendor indicator, you then create a final excise duty indicator.
Customer master data
Similarly, you assign the same excise duty indicator to each of your customers that share the same legal excise status.
Again, for each permutation of plant indicator and customer indicator, you then create a final excise duty indicator.
Material master data
Each material is assigned a chapter ID.
Excise tax rate
For every chapter ID and final excise duty indicator, you maintain the rate of excise duty.
If your business only qualifies for partial CENVAT credit, you must customize your system accordingly.
Activities
Let us consider an example to illustrate how the system determines which rate of excise duty to apply to a material. Assume you are posting a sale of ball bearings to a customer. The system automatically determines the rate of excise duty as follows:
1. Looks up the customer master data to see what status you have assigned the customer.
Let's assume you've assigned the customer status 3.
2. Looks up the plant master data to see what status you have assigned the plant.
Similarly, your plant has status 2.
3. The system looks up the table under Excise Indicator for Plant and Customer to see what the final excise duty indictor is for customer status 3 and plant status 2: It is 7.
4. The system determines the chapter ID of the ball bearing for the plant.
Lets assume the chapter ID at plant for the ball bearings is 1000.01.
5. Finally, the system looks up the table under Excise Tax Rate to see what rate of duty applies to chapter ID 1000.01 under status 7.
Define Tax Code for Purchasing Documents
Use : In this IMG activity, you define a tax code for the purposes of calculating excise duty when you enter purchasing documents.
Only carry out this activity if you use condition-based excise determination.
Activities: Create a new tax code, and set the tax code type to V (input tax). Do not make any other settings for it.
Assign Tax Code to Company Codes
Use
In this IMG activity, assign the tax code for purchasing documents to the company codes where it will be used.
Only carry out this activity if you use condition-based excise determination.
Classify Condition Types
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which condition types you use for which sort of tax. Note that this only applies to condition types that you use with the new excise determination method.
The system uses this information when you create a document from another one. For example, when you enter an incoming excise invoice from a purchase order, or when you create an outgoing excise invoice from a sales order, the system determines the various excise duties in the excise invoice using the information that you have entered here.
In addition, when you create a purchasing document, the system only uses the condition types that you enter here.
For taxes on purchases, use the condition types contained in the tax procedure.
For taxes on sales, use the condition types contained in the pricing procedures.
Standard settings
The standard system comes with sample settings for the tax calculation procedures and pricing procedures.
Use these settings as a basis for your own.
IMG > Logistics - General > Tax On Goods Movement > India > Account Determination
Define G/L Accounts for Taxes
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which G/L accounts you will use to record which taxes.
Requirements
You have set up G/L accounts for each of the processing keys listed below.
Activities
Assign an account to each of the following posting keys. The accounts for VS1, VS2, and VS3 are used as clearing accounts during excise invoice verification.
VS1 (basic excise duty)
VS2 (additional excise duty)
VS3 (special excise duty)
VS5 (sales tax setoff)
MWS (central sales tax)
MW3 (local sales tax)
ESA (service tax)
ESE (service tax expense)
Specify Excise Accounts per Excise Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which excise accounts (for excise duty and CENVAT) are to be posted to for the various transaction types. Enter all the accounts that are affected by each transaction type.
If you use subtransaction types, enter the accounts for each subtransaction type as well.
Activities
Transaction type UTLZ is used for determining accounts only while posting excise JVs and also if the payment of excise duty has to be done fortnightly.
The fortnightly CENVAT payment utility picks up the credit side accounts from the transaction types of GRPO, EWPO, and TR6C for determining the CENVAT and PLA accounts. There is no separate transaction type for fortnightly payment.
Example
Excise TT DC ind Account name
GRPO CR CENVAT clearing account
GRPO CR RG 23 BED account
GRPO DR CENVAT on hld account
Specify G/L Accounts per Excise Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts.
When you come to execute the various transactions, the system determines which G/L accounts to post to by looking at the:
Excise group
Company code
Chart of accounts
Furthermore, if you want separate account determination settings within an excise group, you can also use sub transaction types.
Requirements
You have already:
Defined the G/L accounts
Defined the excise groups
Maintained the transaction accounts
Activities
For each excise group, assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts. For most businesses, one set of accounts will suffice for alltransactions.
Note
You need not remit the CENVAT to the excise department immediately, so maintain the credit account for transaction type DLFC as an excise duty interim account. This will be set off when you remit the duty.
Config setting needed to be done in order to get the Excise Details Screen in Material Master.
Even though this functionality is available in enterprise version, a small config step has to be made in Screen Sequences for Material Master.
Following document helps you to do this configuration.
 Material Master  Logistics General 1. Go to IMG Define Structure of Data Screen for eachConfiguring the Material master Screen Sequence.
2. Select your screen sequence. Usually it would be 21. Select the same and click on Data Screen in the left frame.
3. Once the data screens are exhibited, select data screen no. 15, ie. SSq. 21and Scrn 15, which is Foreign Trade: Import Data. Select the same and click on Subscreens in the left frame.
4. Go to the last sub screen i.e. 21-15-6 - SAPLMGD1- 0001 and select the same. Click on tab view subscreen and ensure that the subscreen is blank.
5. Now in the last sub screen i.e. no.6 you delete SAPLMGD1 0001 and instead add SAPLJ1I_MATERIAL_MASTER and in the screen no. 2205.
6. Save the setting.
7. Create a Material Master and check whether in Screen Foreign Trade Import, Excise related subscreen appears.
Hope this helps you.
