WSN 3202: increase sensor power delay before reading?

On an NI WSN-3202, Is there any way to increase the time between activation of sensor power and the time an analog reading is taken? I presently have the devices set for 250ms, but I would like to have the power turned on a good 2-3 seconds before a reading is taken. Is there any way to facilitate this, perhaps through a custom firmware update?

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
I use a wsn-3226. There seems that there is no option to send data with radio message.
Here a print screen of my sequence, it is fairly simple, I don't understand why it's getting stuck in always on power.
I also tried to change the power setting with a user message and it worked. But it is unpracticable, I really need that to work. I use sensor that need to be power up at least 2 sec before sampling.
Thank you
Mathieu

Microseconds delay to control digital outputs in WSN-3202

Hi,
I’m using the LabVIEW WSN Module to control the digital outputs of the WSN-3202 node. Is there a way to add a microseconds delay in my flat sequence structure? Because I’m using a pulse driven optical sensor which requires delays intervals in microseconds.
Thanks,
Ahmed

Hi Ahmed,
The availability of a microsecond resolution for timing depends on the onboard clocks or setup that the system allows. These nodes are often used to control/acquire in a non-continuous way to save battery. Therefore, they are required to wake/sleep in cycles that take a couple of minutes generally. What are you exactly trying to do with the node?

Using 4-20ma Sensor on NI WSN-3202

I have a vibration switch http://ifmefector.com/ifmus/web/dsfs!VKV021.html that I am trying to get to work in my wireless sensor network. NI only offers a voltage input node (NI WSN-3202), but the sensor is only available in 4-20ma output. The analog output is only 1 wire.
Is there a way to convert that signal to use voltage and have the WSN read it accordingly?
Thanks,
Josh

Put a precision resistor in the loop and read the voltage across the resistor. For a 5VDC voltage input, use a 250 ohm resistor.

Sensor Power

Hi,
Just a note. I'm using the sensor power output on the WSN 3202 node. I have found that when I deploy a VI to the programmable node, the power sensor out turns off unless I am reading an Analog Input. I've got it set to 'Always On' and initially I've only been reading digital input, but the sensor out kept turning off.
Thanks,

Hi JChec,
When you set an analog attribute, you actually to have to then explicitly read that channel for the attribute to be set. If you set the attribute, then never read that AI channel, then the property won't actually make it down to the hardware. I'm assuming you are setting the property in the start case? If you are, then set the property, then perform a read on that channel. After that read is performed, you should see the sensor output stay on.
Not intuitive, I know. We are looking at ways we could make this easier for the user.
Let me know if you need any clarification.

It only seems to do this since an iphone download last year.......its driving me mad !

Track delays before playing - Help please

DSP - 3 One of my tracks seems to delay before playing and I end up with a black screen before it begins. I went back to Final Cut and can't find any problem with it there. All my other tracks start fine. Help please.
Thanks.

Where are you seeing this? On a DVD player or in Simulator? What kind of menu are you using?
The delay on a disc is usually (but not always) related to where the menu is physically located (usually near the spindle hole) compared to the track (anywhere else moving outwards towards the edge of the disc), and the routing tables which DVDSP creates on your behalf when the disc is built. Not all menu/track relationships will see the same delay and you can perhaps reduce it by adding the asset for the troublesome track into another track and setting it apart with a story. Your menu can then point to the assets within the story and it should make a difference.
However, the delay you see on your player will almost certainly be different to that seen on another player - without using a spec level authoring package (or trying it in DVDSP4 where you can move menus into specific VTSs) you may well be stuck with it as it is if adding the asset to an existing track doesn't work.

Keynote presentations when using wireless libratone zipp speaker there is a 2sec delay before any slide containing video/audio plays - tried connection through apple TV still the same. Any ideas?

Thanks Gary, I think I should have mentioned that I have wired my other speakers and it works fine.
I just wanted to go wireless when presenting in front of class, simply to avoid trailing wires from the macbook which I position in front of me on a desk next to the projector and the speakers are behind me next to the screen.
I have struggled to find a solution, and reading through other discussions it is a problem that perhaps only Apple can solve.
I hope the new 'Yosemite' will resolve the problem.
Thank you once again for your reply.

Bootup: long delay before sysinit.target.

My system seems to have a strange delay during boot that I don't know how to account for. In the SVG plot, there is a long delay before `sysinit.target` comes on, but it doesn't seem that anything is blocking it.
Also, systemd-blame shows everything starting prety quickly.

Every keystroke or mouse click results in a 10 sec or more delay before responding. Suggestions??

Each time I type something or click my mouse, there is a delay before the keystrokes are recognized, or the mouse click has any results. This delay be as little as 5 secs but go up to as much as 15 secs. Very frustrating and a time waster if you add it all up.

Extend the Ring delay before switch to voicemail

How do I Extend the Ring delay before switch to voicemail?

You will need to contact your cellular provider to make changes to the number of rings.

Having recently updated Firefox, there now seems to be a long delay before many webpages load. Is there any way to easily revert to the previous arrangement, for example by removing new features that came with the upgrade that I probably don't use?

Edirol FA-66 Delay before hearing sound

Macbook Pro 17 with snow leopard 10.6.1 using Edirol FA-66 with firewire connection. Works OK at first but as soon as I change an effect or most any change there is a 2-3 second delay before I hear my guitar. I'm using headphones connected to macbook for output. Anybody got any ideas?

I have the same problem with both Garage Band 09 or Logic Express 9. I'm under Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
When I start monitoring it's OK, then after 1-2 mins of playing, I will start experiencing a delay of 1-2 secs in the monitoring. I wonder if this problem is specific to FA-66/SL...

Put Delay Before 'return' in Function

When I create function that allow flash to detect object's velocity, a problem happen. I can't put delay before 'return' executed. It's cause result of function is null or 0. There's the script:
function SSvelocity(Target:Object,target_property:String,delay_ms:int=1000):Number
 if ((target_property!="x")&&(target_property!="y")&&(target_property!="z")&&(target_property!="rotation"))
 trace("ShortenScript: err(SSvelocity[1]): SSvelocity("+Target+","+target_property+","+delay_ms+")");
 trace(" SSvelocity(the_object,target_property,delay_millisecond)");
 trace(" position should filled with \"x\" or \"y\" or \"z\" or \"rotation\"");
 trace(" and don\'t forget about quotes(\")");
 DisplayError = true;
 return null;
 var detecta:Timer = new Timer(1000);
 var detectb:Timer = new Timer(1000);
 var resulta:Number;
 var resultb:Number;
 detecta.delay = delay_ms;
 detectb.delay = delay_ms;
 detecta.start();
 detecta.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, handlera);
 detectb.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, handlerb);
 function handlera(event:TimerEvent)
 detecta.stop();
 if (target_property == "x")
 resulta = Target.x;
 else if (target_property=="y")
 resulta = Target.y;
 else if (target_property=="z")
 resulta = Target.z;
 else if (target_property=="rotation")
 resulta = Target.rotation;
 detectb.start();
 function handlerb(event:TimerEvent)
 detectb.stop();
 if (target_property == "x")
 resultb = Target.x;
 else if (target_property=="y")
 resultb = Target.y;
 else if (target_property=="z")
 resultb = Target.z;
 else if (target_property=="rotation")
 resultb = Target.rotation;
 // I want put delay before return, because it's resulting NaN and often 0
 return (resultb-resulta);

I agree with Ned that you should rethink your approach. Objects A and B are your Information Experts (GRASP (object-oriented design) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) on the problem at hand, so they should be responsible for storing their own previous positions and calculating velocity.
Let's assume that it's possible for you to apply the same Base Class to both A and B. That Base Class might look something like this:
public class VelocityClip extends MovieClip {
 //each history will contain the past 10 values for that property
 protected var propertiesHistory:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
 //by adding or removing property names to this Array, you can change what properties are being tracked
 protected var trackedProperties:Array = ['x', 'y', 'rotation'];
 //capture values every 100 ms (10 times a sec)
 protected var timer:Timer = new Timer(100);
 public function VelocityClip() {
 super();
 for each (var property:String in trackedProperties) {
 //create a spot to store the history of each tracked property
 propertiesHistory[property] = new Vector.<Number>();
 timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, storeValues);
 timer.start();
 protected function storeValues(e:TimerEvent):void {
 for each (var property:String in properties) {
 var history:Vector.<Number> = propertiesHistory[property] as Vector<Number>;
 if (history.length > 9) {
 //stay at 10 total indices by removing first item
 history.shift();
 history.push(Number(this[property]));
 public function getVelocity(property:String):Number {
 var history:Vector.<Number> = propertiesHistory[property] as Vector<Number>;
 if (!history) return NaN;//no history for this property
 if (history.length < 10) return 0; //haven't been moving for a full sec.
 //history[9] was recorded sometime in the last 99 ms, and history[9] and history[0] are 1 sec apart
 //subject to the limitations of the Timer Class
 return history[9] - history[0];

Using outputs in WSN-3202

Good morning,
I have a doubt. You are aware that the sensor WSN-3202 has 4 analog inputs and4 digital outputs, a doubt arises in respect of this sensor outputs.
For example, for connecting a LED (6V) to one of the outputs of the sensor, I have to do?

Any way to change delay before voicemail picks up?

My wife's iphone swithces to voicemail after the third or fourth ring (She is using "Old phone,"), and she misses a lot of calls. Is there a way to alter the delay before voicemail picks up? I looked in settings, searched some, and couldn't find any information. Thanks.

To backup Nathan's informed response...This is the AT & T Answer Center response...
QUESTION:
How can I adjust the number of times my wireless phone will ring before the caller goes to voicemail?
ANSWER:
Contact Customer Care at 1-800-331-0500 or dial 611 from your wireless phone to change the amount of time your phone will ring before going to voice mail. The adjustments made by Customer Care are based on the traditional ring heard by the caller, not the unique Ringtone you hear from your phone.
I chose to speak with a Customer Care representative and easily extended the time to 30 seconds.
