Re: Do I need LabVIEW RT for a simple 10objects/sec image acquisition/processing?

2004-06-17 Thread Brian Beal
I'm not very familiar with RT, but whether or not you can do this depends on several factors: The size of the image you are processing, the ability of your image acquisition hardware to get the images quickly, the speed of your computer, and what else the computer may be trying to do at the same

Re: Parallel access of database

2004-06-02 Thread Brian Beal
Ryan- That probably is it. I learned a while back to use my own Open Database Connection VI. It is just a loop that tries to open the connection, once per second for 10 seconds, until it is successful or it doesn't work. That greatly reduced the number of errors, but there is still an

Not that I really want to defend Access, but this should not be a problem for it. I am currently using a network database that takes data from 4 different VI's(on different machines) and multiple Access users, all at the same time. There is an occasional blip that I haven't figured out yet,

Your looking for a $2,000,000 program. Obviously, no successful program exists yet. Any existingg program would have to be customized for your specific equipment. You could look at the DARPA Grand Challenge website and see which teams used Labview, and contact them directly. I doubt anyone

Re: Limit to the sampling rate for an HP4192 Impedance Analyzer?

2004-04-24 Thread Brian Beal
I have never used the 4192, but am familiar with the 4194a. I can easily get 20 cap readings/second in a loop. Cap readings typically happen quickly. What parameters do you have set up in the 4192 for the cap readings? Are you doing a sweep of many frequencies? Using averaging, etc.? What are

Are you using 6.0 or 6.1? I can convert it to 6.1, and may have a version of it somewhere in 6.0.2.

Re: Limit to the sampling rate for an HP4192 Impedance Analyzer?

2004-04-24 Thread Brian Beal
I just checked the 4192 manual, and at a frequency of 100HZ, and a mode setting of Average, the measurement time is 1052 ms. This means that no matter what you do with the GPIB, you won't be able to increase the measurement time. You could try to switch the mode to either High Speed or Normal,

Are you using GPIB? If you are, turn on NI Spy, then run your program. If the problem goes away, then it is a GPIB bus speed issue.

Re: IMAQ application; measuring gas volume

2004-01-09 Thread Brian Beal
There probably isn't a cheap way to do this. Even short stroke LVDTs are expensive, and they are spring loaded, so I would be concerned about them affecting your measurements. Depending on how familiar you are with IMAQ, that may be the way to go. You would have to do a calibration routine to

I am using the Database Connectivity Toolset, and would like to copy either one recordset or multiple recordsets from one Access table to a table in a different database. I would like to do it directly with the data in variant form, but I can't get it to work. I can get it to work(on a small
