What is the effective ADC resolution of the Usb6361 board
I have been using a USB-6361 board with 16-bit ADC. I went to simulate a lower bit count ADC implementation and I noticed that the data sampled from the 6361 does not appear to have 16-bit resolution. Here's an example of some of the waveform samples (of type Double), using 0 to 5V range:
1.0727841521285737 V
1.09002147857432474 V
With a 5V range and a 16-bit ADC the LS bits should quantize to 5V/2^16 = 5V/65536
0.0000762939453125 V
neither of these samples can be accurately represented in 16 bits; there are fractional bits remaining.
example: 1.09002147857432474/5V * 2^16 = 14287.12952396...
if it was 16-bit quantized and the range was unipolar 5V I would expect an integer result.
Now, it's fairly easy to requantify the data to be 16-bit resolved but what gives with the raw data from the USB-6361 ?
Why is it not 16-bit quantized for the range ?
The data does not appear to be 16-bit quantized for 0-10V or for +/-10V either.
Any clues here ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.
Ben covered that X Series has bipolar ranges but there are other factors that lead to what you are seeing:
X Series applies calibration in software and this affects the HW and the data returned. For one, X Series has 5% overrange, details covered in the AI section of the manual Ben linked. Also, when applying calibration the USB-6361 actually uses a third order polynomial for scaling - so the scaled voltage you read doesn't map directly to code widths. You can do an unscaled DAQmx read and get the direct bits from the ADC. You can get the scaling coefficients with the AI Device Scaling Coefficients Property. Hopefully by looking at these you can get what you need from the device.
Thanks,

What does the Logic Board do exactly?
My MacBook took a little fall yesterday. I went to the Apple store and they told me that the logic board needs to be replaced, and I was curious as to what it does. I have no doubts that the genius at the store was correct, I'm just wondering what it does for future reference.

What is the shortcut for switching to the previous window?
Hello everybody,
Sorry to trouble you with such a simple problem, but I can't find it in the "Help" menu. What is the key board shortcut for going back one window. From a folder window, I can click the left arrow (upper left) but what is the short cut? I thought it was holding the command key and clicking the left arrow key, but that does not work. Thank you for any help.
MarcoIt was right there all the time.
Thank You.

What is the effective resolution for imported artwork/photos? I have to downsize a huge file.
Change the pixel size of the images in a graphics application to match the pixel size of the presentation set in
Inspector > Document > Slide Size then bring them into Keynote.
I use Stunt Software's Downsize specifically for this as it can batch process hundreds of files extremely fast: Downsize -
So what is the resolution of this QT movie?
I compiled this assortment of metadata from various programs - all for the same file:
http://www.drewlahat.com/misc/QTPAR.gif
So what's the actual pixel count in the file? Most say 720x480, but After Effects insists it's native 853x480 (1.00 means square pixels so it claims it's not applying any pixel aspect ratio adjustments).So what's the actual pixel count in the file?
It depends on you definition of things. If you are referring to the actual number of individual "cells" available to contain discrete data combinations and, if you are referring to each "cell" as representing a "pixel," then your "pixel count" would be 720x480 or 345,600 pixels.
Most say 720x480, but After Effects insists it's native 853x480 (1.00 means square pixels so it claims it's not applying any pixel aspect ratio adjustments).
Quite correct. What you are forgetting is the fact that it is the encoded "cells" that are PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) encoded--not the output "cells." For example, the same 720x480 matrix can represent either a 640x480 square pixel (1:1) display matrix or an 853x480 square pixel (1:1) display matrix. In the first case, the width of the encoded "pixel" is greater than its height while in the latter case, the width of the encoded "pixel" is less than its height. Thus, when scaled for final display where the height and width of the "pixel" is displayed as having a 1:1 aspect ratio, the displayed screen width contracts or expands as needed to render the scene at its original aspect ratio.
It may be easier just to think of an anamorphic file as having an encoded matrix property and a separate display matrix property where the first is the resolution in terms of discrete data cells or points and the latter is the displayed surface area as scaled by the viewing device. And, while the 720x480 encode matrix is probably the most common based historically on DV and MPEG-2 video (which, in turn, were rooted on analog TV display standards), they are not the only ones that could be used. For instance, I often use custom PAR values to encode TV files which range from 800x720 to 1024x720 encode matrices for 720p (1280x720) movies. The advantages of using an anamorphic encode include the lowering of your final data rate and file size for an acceptable loss in graphic detail which, in turn, increases encode speed as compared to a one-to-one non-anamorphic 720p file encode. (I.e., these are simply work flow options at the disposal of the experienced QT user to achieve specific project goals as may be desired or needed.) -
What is the point in converting type to shapes rather than just flattening at required resolution?
Ok, this may sound like a stupid question. Lets say I'm designing a trifold in Photoshop. The printer requests that designs be done at a resolution of 300dpi.
What is the point in converting all type to shapes prior to saving or embedding fonts when I can just flatten my entire design at 300dpi? Isn't that what the print shop is going to do anyway...just flatten my design? Or do they print type at a higher resolution than the raster portions of the design? This has confused me for too long. I hope someone can clear this up. ThanksThe core of the bad advice is telling you to rasterize all your type. In light of this bad advice, the fact that they're saying 300ppi does make sense, because the last thing they want are images @ 2400ppi!
That been said, Photoshop is never the right tool for most text applications anyway, even though it does support vector output (to a point, and with some issues that are sometimes problematic to get around). If you have larger text that needs to be integrated into the image, or effected with Photoshop filters, etc. that's one thing, but if you're laying out paragraph text / body copy / lyrics and liner notes for a CD, etc. then you should be using Illustrator or InDesign -- an app that is designed to handle vector text and objects.
re: online printers: sorry, I haven't used any as of yet. I do have a couple of one-off book projects I'm going to send to Lulu, and a friend here in work uses Overnight Prints and seems pretty happy with them. But aside of that, I can't really offer any specific recommendations. Hopefully someone else can chime in here. -
[13" Mid 2012 not-retina] What is the max output resolution of my macbook?
Hi,
I'm in the market for a new external display. Maybe 21:9, maybe 4K, not sure yet.
I believe I have 3 options with the Thunderbolt(not mini-display)port on my Mac.
Using my mini-displayport to VGA adapter
Using my mini-displayport to HDMI adapter
Using just a thunderbolt cable
What would be the best to use? I believe that there are Thunderbolt displays on the market (AOC has a 21:9 one I believe).
What is the maximum resolution for an external display for my MacBook Pro? Does my mac support 4K? Does it support 21:9?
Thanks for your reply.
Specifications of my MacBook:
MacBookPro9,2
OSX 10.9 Yosemite
13" mid 2012 not retina
250GB SSD
16GB RAM
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MBThe maximum resolution your MBP will support is 2560 x 1600. Thunderbolt connection would be the best. Your MBP does NOT support 4k displays.

What is the ideal resolution combo for MBP 13" and Projector?
In our school district we are using 13" MacBook Pro's (OS X 10.7 Lion) and external epson projectors, projecting to a Promethean Smart Board. The default resolution for a MBP is 1280X800, that is a no brainer. Now everything I've been reading says that projectors like to be on 1024X768. When we do that the projector resolution dictates that resolution to the MBP screen and the MBP screen is of course distorted. They don't play nice when trying to set independent settings. We've found that 1280X800 for MBP and 1280X960 for the projector works best. When set at these settings and you plug and unplug the VGA adapter the settings on the MBP hold to 1280X800. But we have to keep calibrating the Promethean Smart Board though inbetween plugging and unplugging the VGA adapter's. Any ideas?
Try setting up the projector at 1024x768 as it calls for, but you want to use the best image. This might require a resolution reset as you are dealing with 3 different viewing sources. (ahh, if only they would come up with a standard.
You can try a pram reset with everything up and running, this can sometimes correct distortions.
NVPRAM reset:
Power down the mac, power it back up, before the start up chime, press and hold the following keys:
option,command,P,R,(no commas) and continue to hold these keys till you hear the start chime 2 times. See what you have. You might have to reboot.
Also you can try connecting the projector, fire up the mac then the projector, it might auto-detect. You can try system preferences click detect displays,
As for the smart board, you would have to contact the manufacturer for details.
I know I have not offered much here, but it's worth a try, can't hurt anything.
Also, if you plan to contact the Community in the future, please ammend your profile with the model and OS you are using, as it could help you get more info.

My iPad, in my opinion is a great device to have whenever I need to use it for work - mainly using it for creating music. However I feel that it's a bit outdated, and I plan to get a new iPad Air for this holiday season and give this one to my children. That being said, I have stumbled across a weird problem that keeps me from backing my iPad (generation 2) up to my computer. The error in question states that "The iPad is currently owned by another computer." By looking around on the internet, I was able to deduce that one of the ways to solve this problem was to put it in recovery mode to get rid of the 'ownership', and this seems logistical. The problem I'm facing now, is that, after trying to find the answer, I do not know how recovery mode has an impact on all the data stored on my iPad. To clarify the question into three parts:
1) Is there a way to back up files from my iPad and easily retrieve them without the use of iTunes?
2) If not, is there a way to get rid of the 'ownership' of another computer other than recovery mode WITHOUT jailbreaking it?
3) If still no, then what are the effects of putting my iPad into recovery mode, and will all of my songs and data be safe?
Thank you for answering, if possible.Was the iPad originally set up on a different computer, and hasn't been synced to the one that you are now trying to use ? There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
(Before trying that you could copy any important files/documents off the iPad so that you have you own backup copy of them e.g. depending upon what the apps support then email them to yourself, use Dropbox, copy them to your computer via your wifi-network.)
You should be able to copy iTunes purchases off the iPad and over to that computer's iTunes via File > Devices Transfer Purchases, but if you have music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) which aren't in that computer's iTunes (and you haven't got a backup to copy them onto it from) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
For recovery mode, that will result in your iPad being put back to factory defaults i.e. all of your content will be removed from it -
What's the best way to manage movie resolutions with iTunes/iPod
I've just been given a new video iPod, and am now considering importing movies into iTunes so that I can have them on my iPod. What I have is a bunch of MPGs (e.g., family movies from a camcorder, etc.); but I noticed that the iPod won't play them, presumably because they're not MP4 format. I know I can convert them all to MP4 with iSquint or a similar utility. But I want to keep the full-resolution versions in iTunes so that I can display them on a bigger screen as well. So, what is the right way to manage this - do I really need to keep and have in iTunes 2 versions of every movie - one scaled down for iPod as MP4, and one in original resolution? Or is there a better way?
Thanks in advance,
MikeWelcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes is straight forward, just use the same ID on all of them.
What exactly do you want to see in messages on the Mac and iPad, messages combined from each of your phones or a different account just for both of you.
You should think about what you want in calendars, contacts etc, on your shared devices. -
I'm told there is a virus associated with Adobe Reader. How can I tell if my machine is effected and if so what is the cure. I'm running OS X10.6.8 on an iMac with safari 5.1.5
There are no viruses currently affecting the Mac but there is something called Flashback which is malware that has been doing the rounds and affected many Mac users. Apple have released some updates to Java that should remove it and improve protection. Run Software Update to see if there is anything for downloading.
A few precautions that can help prevent your Mac becoming infected:
If you use Flash only download it directly from Adobe.
In all web browsers disable Java (but do leave Javascript on as that's something else).
In all web browsers make sure downloaded files aren't set to automatically open after downloading.
Consider disabling Java completely (launch Java Preferences in the Utilities folder and disable it - you'll likely rarely, if ever need it. If you do just turn it on and off again when your done).

Hello all!,
I've come across a problem regarding the source of my Music files on my MacBook Pro, finding that my fairly large (76 GB) iTunes library is made up of files from a large range of locations. I've had this Macbook for ~3 years now & have never necessarily worried about the amount of audio on the harddrive. As I noted, I have 76GB of music on iTunes, but the "Audio" section of my harddrive is 215GB. Based on looking at the iTunes/iTunes Media section of my files I've come to the conclusion that my process of finding and adding music to my library has resulted in a large amount of duplicates and/or multiple locations.
I began by going through and deleting unwanted songs from my library, to see the effect it would have on the overall "Audio" on my harddrive. This didn't do much, leaving me with a ~54GB iTunes library, but a recorded 191.4GB of audio on my harddrive. It appears that the "Music" sub-folder of "iTunes Media" is a duplicated, older version of my iTunes library but I'm weary about deleting it in fear that the songs sources will end up "broken" and they won't play or sync.
I've browsed other questions and found scripts for similar situations but I'm not sure exactly how to go about using them, or if they're necessary/correct for this situation. What is the suggested manner for organization of music in iTunes? The suspected duplicates folder is located under "Music -> iTunes -> iTunes Media -> Music" and this seems like far too many folders for a library of relative simplicity.
The last question I have is if the albums I download are staying in my "Downloads" folder when adding them to iTunes, creating yet more duplicates (rather than simply being transfered to the iTunes folders)? I'd appreciate any help, hopefully I was clear about the problems I'm facing. The system I've been using works, but I want to get all of my audio files cleaned up properly.
Thanks!"Audio" is more than just your iTunes files. Audio files for other apps (like Garageband, Office or Roxio Toast) can add to the overall size of "Audio".
The iTunes Media folder should be within a few gigs at most, of the size of what your Library shows. It won't be exact because iTunes uses binary calculation to determine size and Finder uses Decimal. (1024mb vs 1000mb for a gigabyte)
My iTunes library is 168Gb in iTunes - the files are 191Gb in FInder.
Your iTunes files should be in [user]Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/ by default, but you can choose ANY ONE location, on an internal or external hard drive, as long as iTunes is properly pointed to it as your Library. The Library files (.itl, .xml, .itdb, and artwork) should still remain in the default location. -
What is the effect of the service account permissions
Hi,
What is the effect of the service account permissions? For example, suppose the service account for SQL Server database engine is SomeDomain\A, and has no permission to execute stored procedure X, and a user with domain account SomeDomain\B does have the
said permission. Which one will prevail, i.e. can the user execute stored procedure X? If so, what permissions must I give the service account SomeDomain\A?
I am asking this in the context of planning deployment in the production environment of a data warehouse application.
Cheers,
Jerome
Jerome Smith BI Consultant, MCPHi Jerome,
Service account for SQL Server Database Engine only have limited permissions. To grant the account permission to execute stored procedure X, please refer to the following
query:
USE database;
GRANT EXECUTE ON OBJECT::dbo.X
TO SomeDomain\A;
GO
Since the user is in the context of planning deployment in the production environment of a data warehouse application, we may need to add some additional permissions. For more details, please refer to the following blog:

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV
You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
Thank's in advance again,
André
