Why are Sound and Vibration Toolset examples missing?

I have installed the November Developer Suite CDs, the full Sound and Vibration Toolset and appropriate NI-DSA/NI-DAQ drivers for my PCI-4552. Why aren't all the SVTXMPs found? Specifically, Engine Run-up and Transient Analysis examples are missing from Labview->Find Examples->Browse->Toolsets and Modules->Sound and Vibration.

I think the examples are there, they've just been installed in a different path from the one the "Search Examples" app is looking for. Try:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6.1\examples\Sound and Vibration\Transients Analysis
This should get you to the examples your looking for.

How can i use modal analysis in labview and Sound and Vibration toolset in my structural studies.

I am working on structural analysis of buildings during earthqauke.I ahve NI 4472, labView, sound and vibration toolset.Now i also want to carry out Modal Analysis. Where can i find thisin NI software.

There are third party software packages that support modal analysis. These include IDEAS from MTS, Smart Office from m+p, and ME Scope. You can use LabVIEW to save a file or export the data directly via Active-X. If you have some specific functions that you would like to see implemented in LabVIEW, drop a note to one of our developers, Hui Shao or myselfat : [email protected] on what you would like to see.

Third octave operations with "sound and vibration toolkit"

Hi!
I’m working about third octave decomposition with a vibration signal.
I’m using the sound and vibration toolkit.
The sample frequency of my signal is 2400 Hz.
And I’m working with a 1 second vibration signal (so 2400 points).
Fs = 2400
N = 2400
I need to understand the different and successive operations that the “SVT Fractional-octave Analysis [IEC].vi”VI do.
In fact, I think that my frequency resolution (df = Fe/N=1Hz) is too low.
Do you have a solution?
Maybe I could turn into my 1 sec signal in 10 sec signal with 10 recopies and assemblage of my previous signal?
N’ = 10N so df = Fe/10N = 0.1Hz.
Thanks for your help.
Bastien of paris

Hello,
The first thing you have to do is to read the Chapter 7 of the user manual of the Sound and Vibration Toolset.
You can find it in : program -> National Instruments -> LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolset -> User Manual
This chapter discusses fractional-octave analysis, including fractional-octave analysis theory, averaging modes supported by the
Octave Analysis VIs, settling time, and ANSI and IEC standards.

Missing Sound and Vibration VI's?

Looking through all the examples in the Sound and Vibration Toolkit, and go to load the SVXMPL_Sound Level Meter (DAQmx).vi and it tells me there are several files that could not be found. They are:
SoundVib_Octave.lvlib
SoundVib_ABCWeighting.lvlib
SoundVib_SoundLevel.lvlib
Further investigation looks like they're part of another "Audio" toolkit? How is this not part of the SV Toolkit?

Hi John,
You can verify if you have Toolkit ("basic") or Suite in the NI License Manager. I've attached a screenshot. Whichever one has a full, green square next to it is fully activated. Hope this helps!

Need help with problem using sound and vibration examples. question repost

I am generating a wav file using the sound and vibration example vi "SVXMPL_Wav Recorder(DAQmx)" using a ni 7422 board. Then, using the example vi SVXMPL_Getting started with SVT(Simulated)" attempting to play back that file. the wav file will load and play back on the graphs fine but when I click the "Play Wav File" which sends the audio to the computers speaker, I get the error "Cannot recognise sound Format". It plays the shipped example files fine. I can also play the wav files I generate on a Windows audio player. Don't know a lot about the sound and vibration toolkit or wav file formats but need to get these two to work together. Using LV 8.5 and sound and vibration toolkit 4.0. This is a bit of a repost of the same question ask last week but not answered. Thanks

Don't freak out, just get over it. It's probably done.
What should I do if I drop my phone in the toilet?
Apple may offer you an refurbished iPhone in exchange for yours, for about half the cost of a new one.

Frequency response - sound and vibration

Hi,
I need to find the frequency response of the DUT. I am using the NI example from sound and vibration toolkit to do
so (LabVIEW 8.5\examples\Sound and Vibration\Getting Started\SVXMPL_Getting Started with Swept Sine (DAQmx).vi) now my problem is
to tabulate the phase difference between the stimulus and response when i do it i get constant values. Even though i dont give any response
signal to the channel i get the wave same as stimulus, is it suppose to be like that !!!!!!!!!! I will attach my vi so that it gives the idea where
i am measuring the phase difference pls check it and help me with this.....thank you in advance.

DAQ Freq resp (req)_trial.vi ‏121 KB

What is the DAQ card you are using for executing this Frequency Response?
This DAQ error is related to the output frequency of your signal higher than the possible output rate of the card. Basically, you are trying to update at a rate higher than the capability of the card.
For doing Frequency response, generally you need to have a NI DSA card (446x/447x/449x) with one Analog output and two analog inputs (minimum). Generate the swept sine signal from the Analog output channel, give this signal as input to your DUT and also to one of the Analog input channel. This input to your Analog input channel will act as your Reference signal. Then the response signal from your DUT, connect it to another Analog input channel. You would get a very good response results.
The reason why you need to have a DSA board is that, for doing Frequency response, we need to acquire both high frequency and low frequency components without much loss. This is possible only if your DAQ board has a higher dB value (in the range of >110dB) which is present only in DSA boards.
I have completed a Frequency Response Analysis just a week back with the same example programs. So there wont be any problem with that vi.

I am using sound and vibration assistant 7.0. I want to know if it is possible to convert the mag and phase plot to real and imaginary plots ??

I am using sound and vibration assistant 7.0 . I am using the impact test example given . I want to know if it is possible to convert the magnitude phase plot to real and imaginary plot in the sound and vibration assistant 7.0 ???

If you have LabVIEW, you can create a user step to perform the conversion in version 7.0. Sound and Vibration 2009 has a checkbox in the Frequency Response configuration page to export the real and imaginary components. Short of upgrading SVT, you can also install the evaluation version of NI LabVIEW SignalExpress 2009, and this will also upgrade the Frequency Response Step which is shared between the two products (but then you don't get all the other features that were also added in SV 2009).
Here are some links that may be useful to help decide whether you want to upgrade:

Sound and vibration toolkit using Keithley Card

Hello everyone,
Might be doing a project soon using the LABVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolkit(1/n octave vibration analysis required) with LABVIEW 6.1(Sorry, try convince my Boss to upgrade). We have a Keithley KPCI-3101 card avaliable to us for the analog input.
Do any of you forsee a problem using a non-NI card with the sound and vibration toolkit? I can find very little on the internet discussing using non-NI cards with the toolkit.
This might sound like a stupid question but I need to be
100% sure that there are no problems.
Thank you for any help you can offer :-)
Cheers
Jurgen

Hello Jurgen,
Of course the integration with National Instruments boards (PCI-4472 or 445x boards) is best suited with the Sound and Vibration Toolkit. However it is possible to use the toolkit without National Instruments hardware. Most of the examples that ship with the toolkit use NI-DAQ data acquisition calls. You need to remove them from the examples and substitute them for the driver vi's that your board uses. There are also a couple of examples that use simulated signals (so there is no hardware at all involved).
One thing to be aware of is the sample rate. Recommended sample rates, that are used in most examples are 51.2 kS/s. You may need to check if your board is capable of doing this.
Also all the functions use the waveform datatype, (which include
s timing information), so you need to convert your array of data to this datatype, using the build waveform function.
Hope this answers your question.
Best regards,
Erik vH.

Sound and Vibration Toolkit

We have LabView 7.1 and the latest Sound and Vibration Toolkit. I am interested in finding the natural frequency of metalic parts AND entire mechanical assemblies. To obtain the natural frequency, we have purchased an accelerometer and impulse hammer to perform bump testing. From the reading I've done, I believe I should use the FRF functions from the S&V toolkit. Can someone confirm this or direct me to the proper method?
thanks for your help

Hi WantToGolf,
Sounds like you're on your way!
Cable the output of the impulse hammer to analog input 0 and the output of the accelerometer connected to your device under test (DUT) to analog input 1. The frequency response functions (FRFs) included with the Sound and Vibration Toolkit are the methods you'll use to find the natural frequency of the DUT.
I would recommend using Baseband Frequency Response (DAQmx - No excitation).vi, located at:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\examples\Sound and Vibration\Frequency Analysis\Dual Channel Analysis\SVXMPL_Baseband FRF (DAQmx - no excitation).vi
This VI continuously acquires data from two channels in the same device. No source is provided from the DAQ board, as you will be providing one from the impulse hammer. Triggering from either channel is supported.
The data from each channel is scaled to engineering units, windowed, and the frequency response is computed. The results of the frequency response measurement can be displayed on a Bode plot or a Nyquist plot. The coherence is also graphed to evaluate the validity of the measured frequency response.
You could then use the frequency response to determine the natural frequency of the DUT. Let me know if you have further questions or if this does not resolve your issue!

Sound and Vibration Toolkit License

Hi.. I have LabView 2009 SP1 installed in my PC. Currently I am running in evaluation mode, but planning to buy a run - time license. I also have the Sound and Vibration Toolkit on evaluation mode. Do I need to buy a license for this toolkit too? what if I buy the debug/deployment license for labview?

Hi JR Tager, as Dennis mentions you need to buy the license for each of your development computer. In this case the best option is to buy the Developer Suit with Sound and Vibration Option this way you get a discount in the module. Also the toolkit and the Module have to be the Same version than your LabVIEW for example if you are using LabVIEW 2010 you need the 2010 Sound and Vibration Toolkit.
Not all toolkits and modules, requires a Runtime but in this case the Sound and Vibration Module does. Which mean for every executable you create you will need to buy a RunTime License.The part number for the NI Sound and Vibration Software Run-Time License is 779875-01.
Which Software Requires a Run-Time License?

Sound and Vibration toolkit 3.1

Hi
I acquired 2-channel Acceleration data using NI PCI/PXI 4472 along with Labview DAQ Assistant. I received tdms files and converted them in excel files.
Now I need to carry out spectral analysis of data. I am using Labview 8.6 and am also provided with Sound and vibration toolkit 3.1.
I want final output in the form of a waterfall diagram that I can include in my thesis. I tried using excel data in Matlab but no luck.
I know basic use of Labview but completely new to SVT 3.1.
Can anyone please help me in explaining the basics of using waterfall display Palette in SVT 3.1 along with excel data?
Thanks.

Thanks Jared,
I tried searching for examples and found SVXMPL_Waterfall Display (Simulated). I guess that is the one you are referring to.
I tried to run that one but it ended with Error 1445.
I went through another thread on error 1445 (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/SVT-3-1-LabView-8-Error-1445/m-p/310575/highlight/true#M161064) and the referred knowledge base (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361G-01/glang/open_vi_reference/) but could not get how to correct the error. I am attaching the screent shot of the VI.
It would really be of great help if I can get an idea on how to solve error 1445 for this VI.
