What is the maximal Buffer size for traditional NI-DAQ?

Hello,
I use a new NI S 6115 DAQ with four channels. The sampling rate is 10 MHz. I would like to enlarge the amount of samples, that I store in memory RAM of my PC.
Around 8300000 samples/channel I get a heap error (at configuration time).
Is this a LabView or a Windows problem?
When a trigger occurs, I read the data and store it to hard disk.
PC: 3 GHz, 1 GByte RAM. Windows 2000, LabView 7.0

Hello,
the problem is when you use a sampling rate of 10 MHz on four channels you need a memory of 80MB(10Msample x 2Byte x 4Channels). The Input FIFO only has a memory of 64MB.
That means you can only use 3 channels (60MB) with such a high sampling rate.

What is the default buffer size if we dont specify in buffer write?

If we dont specify what is the default buffer size in BufferedWriter. How to increase/decrease the size of it?
What is the purpose of flush?
If flush() is not used, only partial content is written to the file. Is it because of the default size of the buffer.

THis is the bufferedwriter class, it helps to look at them, look at the bold underlined, thats answers your defualt buffer size

* Write text to a character-output stream, buffering characters so as to
* provide for the efficient writing of single characters, arrays, and strings.
* The buffer size may be specified, or the default size may be accepted.
* The default is large enough for most purposes.
* A newLine() method is provided, which uses the platform's own notion of
* line separator as defined by the system property <tt>line.separator</tt>.
* Not all platforms use the newline character ('\n') to terminate lines.
* Calling this method to terminate each output line is therefore preferred to
* writing a newline character directly.
* In general, a Writer sends its output immediately to the underlying
* character or byte stream. Unless prompt output is required, it is advisable
* to wrap a BufferedWriter around any Writer whose write() operations may be
* costly, such as FileWriters and OutputStreamWriters. For example,
* <pre>

What Flush(); does
Example, you have a file called c, your writer is b and buffereredwriter is a. so your programs calls a, a talks to b, and b talks to c. when you call the Flush method, the information is sent to the outfile which is c immediately before you even close the file, because when you write to the file, it does not write directly, it writes to a buffer, so flush actually causes the buffer to write to file. Also if you call the close method on that file without the flush, the buffer will still get flushed.
consider BufferedWriter c = new BufferedWriter(new PrintWriter("c:\\c"));
you wrap printwriter into a buffered writer, now if you close this "connection" to the file, the buffer will get flushed, noting that all the data is sitting in the buffered and not yet in the file, and this happens if something dont break...

What is the default icon size for macbook pro 13 inch?

I have the 13 inch macbook pro, its not the retina. What is the default icon size for it? I accidently changed it on the show view options.

The default size is not related to the Mac Model, it's related to the OS X version. For Snow Leopard it's 48x48 pixels.
For Lion and Mountain Lion it's 64x64.
You can choose the size that is right for you. I typically use either 32x32 or 36x36. Some prefer larger some prefer smaller. It's up to you.
I've always found the default sizes to be too big for my taste.

Doing Buffered Event count by using Count Buffered Edges.vi, what is the max buffer size allowed?

I'm currently using Count Buffered Edges.vi to do Buffered Event count with the following settings,
Source : Internal timebase, 100Khz, 10usec for each count
gate : use the function generator to send in a 50Hz signal(for testing purpose only). Period of 0.02sec
the max internal buffer size that i can allocate is only about 100~300. Whenever i change both the internal buffer size and counts to read to a higher value, this vi don't seem to function well. I need to have a buffer size of at least 2000.
1. is it possible to have a buffer size of 2000? what is the problem causing the wrong counter value?
2. also note that the size of max internal buffer varies w
ith the frequency of signal sent to the gate, why is this so? eg: buffer size get smaller as frequency decrease.
3. i'll get funny response and counter value when both the internal buffer size and counts to read are not set to the same. Why is this so? is it a must to set both value the same?
thks and best regards
lyn

Hi,
I have tried the same example, and used a 100Hz signal on the gate. I increased the buffer size to 2000 and I did not get any errors. The buffer size does not get smaller when increasing the frequency of the gate signal; simply, the number of counts gets smaller when the gate frequency becomes larger. The buffer size must be able to contain the number of counts you want to read, otherwise, the VI might not function correctly.

What's the optimum buffer size?

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble with my unzipping method. The thing is when I unzip a smaller file, like something 200 kb, it unzips fine. But when it comes to large files, like something 10000 kb large, it doesn't unzip at all!

What is the maximum file size for CSV that Excel can open ? (Excel 2013 64bit)

Hello,
Before anyone jumps in, I am not talking about the maximum worksheet size of 1048576 rows by 16384 columns.
I have client whom has a 1.5 Gb CSV file, 1.9, 2.6, 5, 17 and 89 Gb file (Huge).
If I open the 1.5 Gb, the file opens (After waiting 5 minutes) and then a warning pops up that only the first 1048576 rows have loaded. That is fair enough.
If I try and open any of the others, Excel comes up to a blank worksheet. No errors. It just seems to ignore the file I tried to open. This happens from within Excel (File - open) or from double clicking the file in explorer.
Excel goes to this blank page almost imeadiatly. It does not even try to open the file.
If I try with Ms Access, I get a size warning and it refuses to load the file. (At least I get a warning)
I would have expected Excel to load at least the first 1048576 rows (If that is what there are in the file), and give an error.
The computer is more than capable (Xeon processors, 16 Gb ram, SSD hard disks top of the line HP Z820 power workstation).
With the 1.5 Gb file loaded to 1048576 rows, it uses 15% ram/pagefile. CPU's hit about 5%.
I have confirmed it is Win 7 64bit, Excel 64bit. I am fairly confident we are over the file size but without an error message, I don't know what to tell my client whom is looking to me for answers.
I have already discussed that the 89gb file in Excel is unreasonable and they are looking at a stat's package but I need an answer on these smaller files.
Anyone got any ides ?

Hi,
The 1,048,576 rows & 16,384 columns is the
workbook size limitation in Excel 2013. Thus, I recommend we try the Mr. Bernie's suggestions to import the large CSV file.
1. Use VBA to read the file line by line and split/examine the import file in sections. If you have further question about the VBA, please post your question to the MSDN forum for Excel
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
2. Use Excel 2013 add-ins. Power Pivot and Power Query. For more detailed information, please see the below articles:

What is the maximum file size for Pages?

Hi,
What is the maximum number of pages and maximum file size that I can have for Pages document?
Thank you.

chessmagnet,
As a practicality in a large document it pays to break it up into sections in different documents with the numbering carrying on from the last one.
Assemble the final document at the end when you need to create a T.O.C. and any hyperlinks.
Several users have reported being unable to save very large files and other problems.
It is a good safety measure anyway and as Yvan says it will work faster.

What is the largest "manageable" size for a captivate project? (I think I've passed it)

Problem:
It used to take perhaps 5 minutes for the Captivate software to open and the project to actually load. Now, Captivate loads (menu screen) but the project does not open - it just sits there. When I close the software it asks if I want to save changes to my project, as if it had opened.
Background:
The captivate project that is roughly 260MB. This is after having copied and pasted all the slides to a new project to reduce the file size (several times) -- because of unexplainable ballooning of the file size. I am using a computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.35 GHZ processor with 4GB or RAM.
Questions:
What is the largest manageable file size for a project?
Is there a limit to the number of slides a project can contain (i.e., 200)?
What can I do to get my project to actually open?
Thanks!
Dan

Hi there
Normally we advise that a Captivate project should fall into somewhere between 50-65 slides as a general upper limit. Occasionally reaching as high as 100 to *MAYBE* 120 slides. Depending on a number of factors.
Cheers... Rick

[Blackberry 8100] What are the best pic sizes for the blackberry?

Hi, I am the proud owner of a new blackberry 8100 and I have a few questions.
When I upload an image of 600x450 pixels to the media card, They display well, but when using the Zoom feature, the image starts to get blurry. Now with a 600x450pixel image, I think the size would be large enough to get a closer zoom without the blurriness effect, but i'm a new user so I'm not really sure if I need a larger pixel image, or if I'm over-estimating the blackberry's Zoom feature and thinking it's a Zoom feature like Adobe's Photoshop. So what's the best recommendation for image sizes to be uploaded to the blackberry?
Also one more question regarding the desktop Manager. I have Version 4.6.0.12 and when trying to access the Media Manger, the "Start" button is faded out, so I cannot access it. Why is this option not available when the blackberry is plugged in as a Mass Storage device?

The 8100 screen is 240x260 pixels. Zooming in on the pic doesn't ever do the pic justice.
Are you sure that Media Manager is installed? Some installs of Desktop Manager don't include Media Manager. If it's indeed installed, does it work if you turn off mass storage mode?

What is the proper image size for ipad

Hi all,
I'm having trouble with photos on my ipad.
First let me ask, What is the best size and dpi to display images?
When I put a white stroke around the images i uploaded the stroke does not show on the right side of the images. So I created a white border using the "canvas size" tool in photoshop and still no border on the right side.
Any help will be appreciated,
Richard

If you sync your photos with iTunes it will optimize them. Just place your photos at the full resolution in your folder (on your computer) that you are syncing and iTunes will take care of the size. My photos are all around 4000x3000 and they get reduced to 2048 on the long side. This allows you to zoom into the photo on the iPad (double tab a photo). But again, iTunes does all that for you. Just use them at full resolution.
If you want to save space you can resize your photos to 1024 on the long side. I recommend to crop your photos at a 4x3 ratio to match the iPad screen. The DPI setting are meaningless. DPI is an arbitrary definition and has no effect on how the iPad shows your files.

What is the ideal Still Size for Final Cut Pro?

I am suing stills in my Timeline. Right now they look really bad. They look great in the Viewer but they look like to crap in the Canvas and Timeline. The stills are 2896x1944.
What's the ideal size so they will maintain the same quality in the Timeline?
Message was edited by: Host <to clarify title>

I am suing stills in my Timeline.
Not sure what legal means you are using to sue your stills..who's your lawyer?
Okay now seriously, your Canvas crap is because it's just a low res proxy. Spit out a self-contained movie and look at it in Quicktime or better yet look at it through a broadcast monitor for a more accurate representation.
In terms of size you want to keep your total pixels to under 4000. And if you're not making moves on the stills then make them the same size as your sequence.

What is the max hdd size for a macbook 2.1 (late 2006)

I have a Macbook 2.1 (late 2006). Its 80 MB HDD crashed.
What maximum HDD capacity/size can my Macbook handle?

Replace it with any notebook sized, 2.5", SATA I or II HDD. Presently, the largest that will fit is a 1.5 GB drive by Toshiba. You cannot install a drive that is over 9.5 mm high.
Look for drives at OWC to get an idea of what's available and pricing. You can buy the drive you want anywhere reliable you want, so look for the best price available for the make and model you choose. Good brands are Hitachi, Seagate, Toshiba, and Samsung.
