What is the fastest way to calculate the rms voltage from a large voltage measurement file?

I have collected voltage measurements for a 60Hz waveform and would like to calculate the RMS voltage in order to determine voltage drift. The data was collected at 100KHz and the TDMS file is 4 hours long (a huge amount of data!). I have run the RMS tool in the basic mathematics block with small sets of data successfully, but the large set seems to take forever to run (48 hours so far and it hasn't finished yet).
1. Is there a faster way to analyze this much data?
2. How does the "one sided interval width" affect my results and analysis time?
3. Can I calculate the RMS voltage with FFT?
4. Is there a way to redce the size of my data file to a manageable size file so the RMS function will run quickly, yet maintain accuracy?

Hi Dave,
Just a thought, If you have a 60 Hz signal, then the 100 Khz is way overkill for the sampling rate, If you would resample the waveform at say 20 X 60 hz= 1200 Hz you should have the same details that would be in the 100 Khz sample signal. That should take substantially less time to do a RMS calculation on the resampled channel. The two commands are listed below.

What is the min pulse width that can be measured using a 32-bit conter?

what is the min pulse width that can be measured using a 32-bit conter?
and also by chnaging the referenced Clock, can we measure as min as 10ns pulse width?

You could measure a 40ns pulse, but not with a great degree of accuracy. Here's a good document on how counter pulse width measurements are handled:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/7C77FB9EDC17C3C386256802007B8AB3
With a 40 ns pulse, you'd have 3 counts per pulse so your uncertainty is pretty high (33%). Another way to look at it would be that you would read either 3 counts or 4 counts which would be values of 37.5ns (3*12.5ns) or 50ns depending on where the rising edges fall. So you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 40ns pulse and a 42ns pulse, but you would between a 40ns and a 100ns.
Hope this helps,

Trying to understand what are the parameter/output From debug SNMP timers

Hi All
I am trying to understand what are the parameter/output
From the debug SNMP timers
Output SNMP timers :
*Dec 31 11:56:27: SNMP: HC Timer 632DDE28 fired
*Dec 31 11:56:27: SNMP: HC Timer 632DDE28 rearmed, delay = 5000
*Dec 31 11:56:32: SNMP: HC Timer 632DDE28 fired
*Dec 31 11:56:32: SNMP: HC Timer 632DDE28 rearmed, delay = 5000
*Dec 31 11:56:37: SNMP: HC Timer 632DDE28 fired
*Dec 31 11:56:37: SNMP: HC Timer 632DDE28 rearmed, delay = 5000
*Dec 31 11:56:38: SNMP: HC Timer 70B54A70 fired
*Dec 31 11:56:38: SNMP: HC Timer 70B54A70 rearmed, delay = 20000
70B54A70 , 632DDE28 ² what this number means.
5000 , 20000 ² why I have different delay time ( does it means that I have delay for SNMP request )

The debug messages you are seeing are related to High-Capacity (HC) timers, which manage updates to 64-bit (HC) snmp counters as defined in RFC2233.
The "fired" and "rearmed" messages indicate when each of these timers
updates ("fired") the HC snmp counters, and when they should fire next
(the "rearmed" messages). Higher speed interfaces require updates more often than lower speed interfaces, so you see two examples of that in your debug messages - 5000 ms updates vs 20000 ms update.
The numbers that are in the messages (i.e. 632DDE28 ) are internal references to the timer that has fired.
These messages do not indicate any delay in SNMP message processing, but normal SNMP operation of HC counters.

What is the smallest data structure record in a .TXT file record to be recognized as an Apple Address Book "Data Card"?

Hello! This is my first time in this discussion group. The question posed is the subject line itself:
What is the smallest data structure record in a .TXT file record to be recognized as an Apple Address Book "Data Card"?
I'm lazy! As a math instructor with 40+ students per class per semester (pCpS), I would rather not have to create 40 data cards pCpS by hand, only to expunge that info at semester's end. My college's IS department can easily supply me with First name, Last name, and eMail address info, along with a myriad of other fields. I can manipulate those data on my end to create the necessary .TXT file, but I don't know the essential structure of that file.
Can you help me?
Thank you in advance.

What is the power voltage for appletv

What is the power voltage required for apple tv? This is not mentioned in the booklet.

It's described as a Universal power supply and as far as I know assuming you're not hooking it up to some non-standard home made power supply it should work worldwide on known mains systems (at the very least in those countries where it is sold ANY AppleTV should adapt to the local mains power).

What are the pin connections from 7764 to stepper motor drive

what are the pin connections from UMI 7764 to stepper motor drive? I use PCI 7340 controller. Third party driver is not branded, but assembled. It has 3 inputs, one for (A,A/) one for (b,b/) one for enable, apart from ground pin.

Dear enigmata,
Here is a link to the UMI Manual that describes the signal connections:
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/321941b.pdf
What you really need is the documentation for the input of the "translator" mentioned on the left side of the last diagram you posted. It is still not possible to tell which of you drive inputs correspond to step and direction (or CW, CCW) because in the circuit that you posted, these signals have already been converted by other circuitry in the drive to the A, A/, B, B/ output signals for the stepper motor.
I agree with Jochen: Without the documentation you will need to test it out as he described in his last post.

Nate Holmes

Apple has been updating OS X 10.6 with security updates, although the version is still 10.6.8 max.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
Depending upon what your machine is and it's RAM amount if it can go to 10.7 or 10.8
We need to know the Model Identifier and the RAM amount.
Older machines that came with 10.5 or 10.4 originally are not advised to proceed any further than 10.6.8 due to age and performance issues on the newer OS X versions of 10.7 and 10.8. Best buy a new machine if you want 10.8, doesn't make sense to buy software and have a slow machine with a older box. Either sell/donate it or use it for backup.
Also 10.7 and above will NOT run your PPC based software your currently running.
So before you upgrade, it's best to take stock of all your third party software and if they will run on the newer OS X verison. This site can assist.

What is the difference between httpd.pid and httpd.lock files?

What is the difference between httpd.pid and httpd.lock files?

Hi;
Apache httpd saves the process id of the parent httpd process to the file logs/httpd.pid .
LockFile
Sets the path to the lockfile used when Oracle HTTP Server is compiled with either USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT or USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT. It is recommended that default value be used. The main reason for changing it is if the logs directory is NFS mounted, since the lockfile must be stored on a local disk.
For example: LockFile /oracle/Apache/Apache/logs/httpd.lock"

What is the max voltage rating for motherboard on Satellite 1110?

what is the maximum voltage rating for the motherboard in the Satellite 1110 please?
Because my current cpu (1.5ghz celeron) is 1.025 volts and i would like to change the cpu
to something faster (cooling will be dealt with btw XD)
The only problem being that the new cpu needs 1.3 volts to run.
Any info wud b much appreciated

I had the same machine years ago and I suggest you no to do this, because nothing will happen.
We tried to put a another CPU onto Mainboard and it simply didnt boot. I dont know why it didnt work, but luckily the machine started after that with the old CPU on the board again. I assume that the chipset is not giving enough power to CPU. I assume, when youre putting the wrong CPU on the Board then you, in the worst case, seriously damage your Mainboard.

What is the best method of backing up my digital files (catalog) in the Photoshop Elements Organizer

What is the best method or service for backing up my digital files (catalog) in the Organizer from Photoshop Elements 12. Since there no longer is the automatic Elements sync available I do not know what to choose. I have tried to back this up using my external drive, but I cannot find the digital images per se. I see the entire program but not the catalog of pictures. Also, I have a windows operating system and Adobe Revel offers no edit capabilities with this OS.

I'm in a similar situation including movies I've purchased from iTunes...
Here's my setup:
I have all my iTunes data (music, movies, etc.) as well as about 10 GB of photos stored on a nework storage device that uses RAID-5 with SATA disks. This is basically a little toaster-sized NAS machine with four hard drives in it (www.infrant.com). If one of these drives dies, I get alerted and can insert a new one without missing a beat since the data is stored redundantly across all drives. I can also just yank out any one of the four drives while the thing is running and my data is still safe (I tried this after I bought it as a test).
That's how I prevent problems with a single disk... Redundancy
Now onto "backups"...
Nightly, my little RAID toaster automatically backs itself up to an attached 250GB USB drive. However, these backups are only of my critical data... documents, photos and home movies... I don't bother backing up my "Hollywood" movies since I can live without them in a disaster.
... I actually don't permanently store anything I care about on a laptop or a desktop. It all goes on the NAS box (Network Sttached Storage) and then my other computers use it as a network drive. It's attached via Gigbait to my main computer and via wireless to most everything else.
My achilles heel is that I don't store anything outside of my house yet. If I was smart, I'd alternate two USB drives attached to my NAS box and always keep one of them somewhere else (Safe Deposit Box?).
...and that's just one way to do it.

Address Book, how do I see what account the contact is from?

In OS X Lion, Address Book, I have many names listed 2,3,4 times. Would like to know what account they belong to (Exchange, On my Mac, Mobile Me etc.) so that I can delete the extra ones.
In address book, can I select the contact and see what account the contact belongs to?
Hope so.
Thx Much

Thx Matt,
Not sure you know what I want to do. I have numerous contacts in my address book, some are from my exchange account, some stored on my Mac and some from Mobile Me.
If I see the same name three times is there a way I kno what account each of the duplicate name belongs to.
Hope I said this right.
Thx Much
..holding down the "option" key when I click on to a contact does not seem to do anything.
