Working with multiple channels

Hello
I am writnig a vi in which I acquire data from a force torque tranducer who has 6 channels (ai0,ai1,ai2,ai3,ai4,ai5 for Fx,Fy,Fz,Tx,Ty,Tz respectively)
what I see in the text file which I create is a matrix with 5000 rows (I took 500 samples) and 6 columns - 1 for each channel.
I wish to be able to create an additional signal who has the RMS value of the 6 channels and to write the signal's data into a new file - who will be accordingly a vector of 5000 rows.
what is the easyiest way to do so???
Lavi

Hey Lavi,
I'm assuming you have this all within a while loop and a timing factor of some sort which acquires the data at set intervals. One way you could do this is creating another loop that reads the data from the files after the data is written to the file and then do the combination of data that you need to within the new loop. Once you have the additional signal with the RMS value of the six channels you can save it to a new file all on its own.
I recently did something of this nature. I had a 5 channel board reading a light sensor for red, blue, green, cyan, and yellow light. Once I had the individual voltage levels I had to do a combination voltage reading afterward and save it to a text file. It's actually quite simple when you break it down step by step..
Best of luck

Working with Multiple Files in Workspace Layout

If I was working with multiple files in the workspace layout, they each used to be available for selection from a tab. Now I can either cascade the files horizontally or vertically - but not have them appear in a tab across the top of the workspace layout.
Does anyone know how to set the workspace to present multiple files in tabs? I have CS3.

Tanya,
This may not help, but the times when that happens to me is when I go too fast and some operations haven't finished. I then try to select a file that hasn't completed and the file I select is in the process of having the data updated. The worst is when it is trying to render as I am doing something.
I hope this helps some.

Working with multiple layers in CS 3 ?

In order to work with multiple layers in cs3, I first need to open few images to work with,and when I open few images it only shows last image that I opened.Frist images can't be seen in workspace, and when I open new document I can't see not even one photo I opened?

try tapping the F key a few times until you get to the screen mode that allows you to see all image windows.

Does WRT54GP2 work with multiple ViOP providers ?

My question is, Does WRT54GP2 router work with multiple ViOP providers ? Can I use it with a ViOP provider other then Vonage ?
Thanks, John

Yes you definately can , all you need is a VOIP adapter that supports SIP . It's a standard protocol and is supported by all routers and VOIP providers

Problem when working with multiple sequences

Dears,
In order to make life easier (I am currently working on a rather long project), I work with multiple sequences, one per chapter.
My problem: I named one sequence "assembly sequences" in order to add the various sequences. I dropped the sequence no 1, then no 2. All works fine, beside that when playing the sequence no 2, I see two black lines on top and bottom of the screen for the all length of the sequence. Which is not the case when I click on the sequence itself and play it independently.
Any idea how to solve this ?
Thanks
Nic

Thanks, what happened is that :
1st sequence is like this : Frame size 720x576 pixels, video rate 25fps, Compressor DV-Pal. And I think it is the one appropriate for me and my country.
2nd sequence is like this : Frame size 720x480 pixels,
video rate 29.97 fps, Compressor DV-DVPRO-NTSC.
I think I should change the second sequence setting, but can I do it after all the work I have done, and continue making a 3rd, 4th and so on ?
Tx for your precious help,
Nicolas

Why is scrolling not working with multiple youtube embeds layed out vertically in a stack on one page?

Why is scrolling not working with multiple youtube embeds layed out in a stack on one page?

Hi ,
This is a sort of performance issue , because your program takes more than the max time set for the program to execute in foreground.
There are many stuff in program which will hamper your performance.
I will list down a few
1. SELECT *
FROM konp
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE konp_itab
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN a363_itab
WHERE knumh EQ a363_itab-knumh
in this statement you are using for all entries a363_itab , but before this statement you are not checking if the table has any entry or not , please do remember that for all entries has this characterstic , that if you internal table does not contain any record , then all the records are selected from the database table. So in this case if you table a363_itab is empty , so what you want is no data must be seelcted from table konp , but what will happen is all the records in KONP will be seelcted.
2. While retreiving data you are using seelct * even though you do not require all the fields , an example is
<b>SELECT *
FROM mkpf
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE mkpf_itab
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN mseg_itab
WHERE mblnr EQ mseg_itab-mblnr.</b>
in this your internal table contains only 2 fields
<b>mblnr LIKE mkpf-mblnr, "Number of Material Document
bldat LIKE mkpf-bldat, "Document Date in Document</b> , but to get these 2 fields you are selecting all the fields of the table.
3. In select you are using into corresponding fields of table , it is not a good practice., so please avoidd it.
Please understand that you must try to reduce the access to your database tables and try to keep it minimal , because this same thing may happen becasue data in DEV is very less compared to the volume of data in production , so a program working in DEV will take much more time in PRD if not written properly and may result in timeouts , as in your case.
Please try to make chanegs to the prorgam and see if it works.
In case you have more queries , please do revert back.
Regards
Arun

Maintain performance while working with multiple shape layers (~50 )

Hey guys, I've been working on some projects lately where I need to animate a lot of shape layers cascading, arraying, with various animation properties. When I get to the point of using 30-60 or so shape layers, and they're all doing some kind of scale, position, etc. animations, my computer slows to a complete crawl. This then forces me into using a single shape layer and the repeater functions. These can work well sometimes, and don't hamstring the flexibility too much, UNTIL you need to incorporate varying colors. At that point, I usually switch my shape layers to masks and place a layer below with varying colors as needed. The shape animations then reveal those colors, but this doesn't work for a complex object that in itself requires many colors. Sooo...
What kind of workflows do you all have for working with multiple semi-complex objects at once? I figure I must be missing something, because this has gotten really limiting. Is everyone just working with 256GB of RAM?
FYI, my computer specs are:
2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
32 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
Thanks!!

Pre-comping can speed up your previews if you are using disk cache, but nothing will speed up your first ram preview or a ram preview after a keyframe change except a better optimized system. All it takes to slow things down is one effect or a footage file that causes AE to start consuming memory and processor power.
As a test I just created a gradient filled rectangle, added rotation keyframes, duplicated the layer so I have 64 copies on my Mac Mini and tried a ram preview compared with the same comp with only 1 layer. Almost no difference in the time it took to preview 10 seconds. Threw in a scale transform for all layers and again, not much difference between one shape layer and 64. To make things much harder I change the rectangle to a Polystar and animated everything in the Polystart transform properties, set up a composition with 128 duplicates and a comp with one layer. 2.5 seconds for a ram preview at quarter rez for a single layer, 10 seconds for a ram preview for 128 layers. That's more than acceptable to me for a two year old Mac Mini with 16 gb of ram. Increasing the zoom factor to 50% with Resolution set to Auto doubled the ram preview time which was still acceptable.
This makes me wonder what else is going on in your composition. Any effects or other things going on? Have you optimized your system for maximum performance? There are links with suggestions for doing that all over this site as well as the Adobe recommendations found here: Optimizing After Effects Performance

When working with multiple artboards, are there separate layers panels for each artboard?

Just started working with multiple artboards in ai but have read nothing about the layers panel, whether you use one layers panel for all the artboards or if the layers panel is duplicated so there is one for each artboard.

I don't really understand your problem, but I've had headaches with managing a GUI before (as many programmers have, I'm sure).
My best advice, if the scheme your using to build and manage a GUI is too confusing for you, the programmer, to easily understand/manage, change the scheme. Even if this means recoding a good deal of your program (though, hopefully, you've kept the GUI as seperate from your functional code as possible) it should be worth it.
Perhaps a clearer explination of your problem would help better illustrate your problem?

Counter to measure frequency with multiple channels (Analog In/Out) in one vi

Hi,
I am using DAQ 6062E. I have multiple channels: an Analog In, Analog Out, Count Edges, and Count Frequencies. Without Count Frequency, the program works fine, I have defined a Sample Clock for each channel and then a common sampling rate. When I add Count frequency channel, I am not able anymore to use Sample Clock, since I get an error that Sample Clock can not be used, and if I change the Sample clock of the Count frequency to Implicit, then I can not connect different channels with a same sampling rate. In the attached file, if the Count Frequency is not connected to any Sample clock and sampling rate, the program works, but now I can not run the program for more than 5-10 Hz sampling rate, otherwise I get the error: 209802 “occurred at DAQmx wait for next sample clock, slow down the sample clock”. Does anybody know how to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot,
Azadeh

Hi Otis,
Thanks for looking at the problem. I ran just two counters in a same vi. I was not able to use the Sample Clock since I needed to define an external sample clock source. The vi is attached. I could run this vi fast (200Hz). So, I am not sure why when two counters are combined with AI/AO the rate is very slow. I have attached three vi(s). Just two counters, AI/AO/1 counter, and AI/AO/2 Counters vis. I am able to run the vis in 200 Hz except the vi with AI/AO/2 counters (maximum sampling rate 20Hz). I appreciate if you can look at it if I am missing something.
Thanks,
Azadeh

Script to auto zero channels in a TDM file with multiple channel groups

Hi friends,
I am trying to process some data but am having trouble modifying a script to autozero channels across multiple channel groups. The following script works to zero channels across one group. I use this script to process data in a TDM file with only one channel group. I need to be able to zero channels across multiple groups (5 groups). But the amount of groups I will have may change so I might need an option to enter the amount of groups or have the script determine the amount of groups in my TDM file.
Here is the code I use to zero the data. Thanks in advance for your help!
Sub UserDlg_Select
Call USERDLGINIT()
USERDLGCAPTION="Auto Zero Channel Based on Specified Points "
USERDLGTXT(5)="Number of points to Average"
USERDLGCOMMAND(5)="t1"
Call USERDLGOPEN()
End Sub
Call UserDlg_Select()
T2="1-"&T1
For I= 1 To ChnNoMax 'For all data channels except time
T4=CHNNAME(I) 'Create string for Channel name (I)
T3=ChnDim(T4) 'Create text variable for channel dimension
STATSEL(6)="Yes" 'Arith mean
STATCLIPCOPY="yes"
STATCLIPVALUE="No"
Call StatBlockCalc("Channel",T2,T4) 'Calculate Stats for Channel (I)
'Subtract Mean of first (T1) points for Channel (I)
Call FormulaCalc("Ch('temp1') := CH('"&T4&"') - statarithmean")
CHNCOMMENT("temp1")=("Channel zeroed over first "&T1)+"pts" 'Add Comment
ChnDim("temp1")=T3 'Add Dimension
CHNNAME("temp1")=T4+"-Z" 'Save updated data with -Z
'Delete Stat Channels
Call CHNDEL("ArithmeticMean")
Call CHNDEL("Sum")
Next 'End For loop

Hi rvillalta319,
Sounds like you'll need to adapt your code to use both a for loop and some implementation of the GroupCount variable (or ChannelGroups.Count) as seen here:

Print to pdf often doesn't work with multiple pages?

When I try to print to pdf, it often doesn't work right.
I can select, for example, multiple Excel worksheets to print. It looks fine with 4 pages in Preview, but when I select save as .pdf, it only prints 2 of the 4 pages, and it prints those in 2 separate documents rather than a single .pdf document with multiple pages.
Is there a way to do this? Is this an Apple error or Microsoft error? Since it looks fine in Preview, my guess it is an Apple error?
Mark

It sounds like this is the problem with the way Apple handles multiple orientations in a pdf document. You can use Acrobat to print the files - it handles multiple orientations correctly. There was a previous thread on this:

Exporting a QT with multiple channels?

Curious... Am I able to export / create a QT file with multiple audio channels embedded?
I've a project with multiple tracks of audio. Now, of course, I know how to "pan" a track left / right to create a project with discrete tracks.
But, what if I have multiple tracks (vo, sfx, and STEREO audio.) Is there a way to create QuickTime file (exported from FCPX) with MORE than TWO audio tracks? For example, can I create a file with mono'd VO on one track... mono'd SFX on another... THEN... stereo music on two separate tracks? (for a total of four tracks.)
Please advise, and thanks.

Luis, many thanx!!!! You mind posting a quick screen shot showing the setting for "Roles as Multitrack Quicktime Movie?" Again... awesome!
No problem!
Here it is. Note that you can create as many audio tracks as you want, and they can each correspond to one or more roles (or sub-roles).
In the example, three audio tracks will be created, one each for Dialogue, Music, Effects; but you can do any combination of roles and/or sub-roles as you please.

Working with multiple audio tracks

Hello,
I'm working with video clips that have a stereo audio track (guide audio fed into the camera) synch'ed to 4 mono tracks (recorded from a variety of boom mics and lavaliers).
Although I've linked all the audio clips to the video, it still gets a bit cumbersome when performing T or L cuts. When I hold down the Option key, I still have to adjust each of the audio track separately.
Is there a more efficient way to deal with multiple audio tracks? Maybe some way to treat these audio tracks as one unit?
BTW I'm working in FCP 7.
Thanks,
Thien

One way:
Lock the video track.
Use the Edit Selection Tool to Select the audio transition points
This will automatically open the Trim window, where you can move the cut point - in this case I am moving the audio cut(s) 30 frames later than the video cut:
which gives me the displacement of all the tracks that I wanted:
You can use this quite quickly once you get used to it.
