average waveform data

Hello

I'm relatively new to labview and programming.

My goal is to acquire potential of the retinal, the signal I get is accompanied by noise and is within reach of micro volt, my goal is to average noise so that I can analyze the real signal (signal without noise).

The incoming analog signal is continuous, but I need to a window of time of 25 seconds alternative to the average value, which means: medium-sized signals of 0-25 s is not an average of 26 to 50 seconds, medium from 50 to 75 seconds and so on...

I started overwhelming with getting a signal from a function generator and averaging the full signal and displays the signal averaged over a second waveform graph. If the VI show all errors I wanted to know if I'm in the right way?

If Yes, then how can I do to average the data to 25 second multiple (for 25 seconds between the starting point)?

I've also attached a diagram of what I expect to see

I was thinking about something in this direction.

You have a buffer limited on the acquisition of your data.  If you read fast enough, you will lose data.  Then read smaller amounts more often.  So I bibliography 1 second with a value of data 25 times.

Because you must connect to both average time, rethinking configure logging it, and just use the TDMS API instead.  Do a search in the finder of the example (help-> examples find) for TDMS Wruite time Domain.vi.  This is a decent example of what you want to do.

  • Filter for waveform data

    Hello world

    I'm trying to filter the noisy analog inputs of 10 channels (DC). I'm sampling of 100 samples/channel at 1000 Hz. My idea is to filter the data with a low pass filter (cut to 10 Hz 3rd order butterworth low freq) and then to calculate the average of each package of 100 samples. Finally, I would like to receive values at a rate of 10 Hz, which can be displayed on the front panel and be written in a file of measures.

    My problem is the following:

    The Express filter VI does not filter continuously after that the VI began. It seems to reset each time the loop runs. The table of 100 samples (white) before and after (red), the filter appear in the image "filterResponse". If I take the average of this table, it is of course less without the filter due to the transitory values between 0 and 0.025 s. I built a simplified version of my VI with only one channel using the VI "Simulate signal" and my concept seems to work well which is permanently (see "filterMeanExample.vi"). I get the idea that it might have to with the kind of dynamic data that is supported by many express VI. But since I'm on the VI KEITHLEY, I do not use the type of dynamic data. In fact, I had to convert a waveform data type to get a vehicle appropriate for the file of the measurement of its release.

    I wonder how to keep the filter VI of reset each time that the loop runs.

    My VI is rather large and contains the KEITHLEY 'Acquire signals' VI which most people do not have in their libraries, so I decided to show only the images.

    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for the tips, I am set!

    I used the VI of butterworth filter in the tool box to filter on the Panel of the Signal processing that accepts the type of table data. I put the variable ' init/cont' true to prevent the filter to reset its initial States to 0. I guess, it was my real problem before. The Express filter VI doesn't have this option, so I wasn't aware of this feature.

    However, an image of the current value is attached.

    Thanks again,

  • Average production data Continouse

    Hello

    My name is Loulou. I am a new user of Labview. I have a vi that generates a waveform by taking the input of the spectrometer data and then exports data to a file permanently during the program runs. In this process, the data generated by this program gets overwhelming, so I try to get an average of data of data points about 10 and ouput file, to decrease the amout the data being generated. How would I go to do this? Here is an attached vi which was given to me that I use at the moment.

  • How to extract a D 1 waveform data in different channels to use for calculations on a page of data in real time

    Hi all

    I am a fairly new user to Labview and am trying to create a program that: watching the entries in different modules (9213, 9217) CompactDAQ sensors check errors and then uses data from some final calculations like averaging etc.  I've set up a small piece of code that includes the main functions that I am trying to accomplish.  Now I'm rather uncomfortable with getting set up and assigned channels, then pass these data in a while loop that continuously pulls the data from these sensors.

    I have the vi calculations complete and complement the inputs of channel UI, now, I'm working on the side of data manipulation and reading things.  The waveform D 1 who comes to read function is currently divided into components I want (given String Name and Y).  He then transmit this information out of the loop via a queue which transmits to the parallel loop below that will perform the verification errors and calculations of average.  There are some things that make it difficult. I showed the 2 sensors in my example, but in the actual program, there may be up to 400 entries.  The problem is that not all of these sensors will be used on all the tests that the software is used for.  To use the entries in the VI test for example: if I'm trying to the average of these 2 entries to create a common value, but then on a test, sensor 2 is not there, it must be recognized that fact and not use it in the service average.

    So to get down to it, I want to create something that can look through the D 1 waveform data groups, determine what these values are, then perform the functions necessary for these numbers once they are identified, then pass on the calculations of VI where it displays then usable for user information.  I think I'm having a problem with the finding in sorting than what I thought at makes me think that there must be an easier way.

    If someone has encountered this?  What is my explanation of what I'm trying to make sense?  Let me know and I can clarify.

    In terms of features, I don't see anything wrong. with respect to the effectiveness we must remember some general indications. These issues that I bring to the top will not affect your code now since your stack sizes are very small but can start to create the fragmentation of memory and slow down the software if your stack sizes are much larger and the software runs for a long period of time.

    1. try not to use the table to build. Whenever you use a table built labview creates a copy in memory. Try to initilized your berries and replace subsets.

    2. as much as you can try not index tables or unbundle cluster several times. try to perform as many tasks as possbile in one shot. (what was obvious in your second loop)

    In addition, he's looking good.

    I made a few changes to your code and attached to it. I wanted to give you a different on her opinion as it relates to being able to control entry and exit of programitically, if you had a look up table. I do not have the same changes to your second loop but I can guide you through what to do if you do not want to go in that direction. Yet once your original code is well done for someone who is new to labview, so don't feel you need to follow the new design of VI. Just try to remove the table construction and multiple indexing as a good habbit programming.

  • problem with the history of EEG waveform data

    Hello world:

    I use SIT to create a user interface in Labview to communicate with a simulink model. After I configure the SIT connection manager and run the vi, the output was displayed in waveform graph.

    Now, I want to get all the data in the history of the map of waveform. I tried to use the graphic story property node to access the whole of the historydat. But nothing copied in the part of Y in the front of the cluster of waveform...

    Can someone give me a helping hand on what is the problem? or has anyone encounter the same problem when you use SIT.  I am really confussed...

    I've attached the vi, but to run the vi, you must have a simulink model corressponding and SIT, so I'm really sorry that you can not run it

    And thanks a lot a lot a lot for that.

  • Process of waveform data (accumulated results)

    Hi all

    I am currently treating a waveform data that I read of DAQ card. Data are digital waveforms, so first I convert it to table DBL and then put the table in a block of prcessing (see attachment). Since I expect to get a report and indeed I got what I want at the first time. However, when I re - run the program, obtained results. for example the first time I got 0.5, then when I re - run the program, I expect to get another 0.5, however what I have is 1. If I keep running again, he continue to accumulate.

    Can someone tell me what's wrong with my program? I have attached a screenshot of the code and also the vi that I used to do the processing.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Question on waveform data

    What is the difference between waveform data and common digital data? Whenever I have do analog data acquisition, the Board always wonder if I want to put the data acquired as a waveform or DBL type. For a specific data source, there is large difference for the two choices? If I chose to acquire waveform data, how to set the sampling frequency? I mean what I will get in a "waveform sample? Will it be a number or a set of numbers that contributes to a "wave"?

    Thank you!

    Right. A waveform data type can also have attributes assigned as the channel name. Read the help for a complete description.

  • Detection of peaks of waveform data

  • Access waveform data passed in a DLL

    Hello

    I'm working on a LabVIEW application that processes the continuous stream, 2 ms/s, 32 analog input channels, each channel. This application has a DLL built in order to improve the table great handling performance in LabVIEW. Initially, I fed the DLL with a double 2D array returned by DAQmx Read VI and worked on a controller embedded high performance. However, the new requirement is, I need to treat timestamps as well as each Read call to HAVE him, and that's why I need to feed the DLL with the waveform data returned by DAQmx Read. Output waveform contains the timestamps I need.

    The problem is, I don't see an easy way to access the data of waveform within the DLL (developed using Visual Studio C++). The type of waveform data seems to be a C++ class, and who looks like I need to add a considerable amount of code to retrieve the data within the class of waveform.

    My question is, LabVIEW naturally does support access to waveform data in a DLL and if there are examples of code? I understand, I can you can also process outside the DLL waveform data and feed the DLL with the array element in the waveform data. However, I have concerns about whether if performance will be significantly affected.

    Thank you!

    Doy says:

    Sorry for the incomplete design details. If you are interested, I have used high cards, not PXI. This is why I don't have a problem of bandwidth PXI. Special assistance, I need right now is the note, 'External Code in LabVIEW using' manual on Page 2-7:

    "Note waveforms, digital signals and digital tables can be passed through shared
    "libraries, but access to the data inside shared libraries is not supported at this time."

    Thank you.

    I think that the text is clear enough! There is no documented API for access to international it data waveform within an external code module. The generated data type the node in library call for such a parameter is HWAVE or something, indicating that it is an opaque handle whose implementation details are deprived of LabVIEW. Since there is no documented API for access to her international of such data there is simply no way to access it.

    And I didn't know all the functions that are exported in the LabVIEW executable that I could easily connect with the waveform dataype. Even if I had, we still do not know the prototype (aka list of parameters and types) of these functions.

    Your only viable solution is to work with the data types supported. Your C code, or possibly the LabVIEW (table handles) native data type, either passing data in table C. else pointer would require reverse engineering of disassembly, a legally questionable approach, but also a lot of your time. And everything you would find this way I would be very hesitant to use in what feels, walks or crawls like a real-world application, since you can't be sure that your conclusions will work for any situation. It is also likely that your results will depend on some attributes may change between versions of LabVIEW.

  • determination of the sampling rate and the frequency waveform data record

    Hello

    I write a simple program that collect data from a triaxial accelerometer input, convert it to a frequency spectrum, and then save the time domain and the frequency of the waveforms in an external file separated.  I don't understand how to set the sampling frequency, however.  On the DAQ Assistant, I updated the acquisition mode "Samples continues" and read samples is 2 k, which corresponds to the total number of data points that are collected.  How can I program sampling for awhile, it 30 seconds, for example?  Wouldn't be better to set up a trigger, as it will continue to collect data up to what I told it to stop?

    I also want to save waveform data in a separate file that can be easily seen by other computers that have not installed Labview.  I have currently the program put in place to convert a text string of the waveform of the time domain and then save it in a text file or a spreadsheet.  It works fine, but I would also like to record the frequency wave, which is a different type of data.  How can I do this or is there a better way?

    My program is attached.  Thanks for your help!

    Here's how you can use the shift register to build the table, and also where you can choose to play exactly 100 samples per while the loop iteration.

  • Writing of continuous waveform data

    Hey,.

    I can't change the continues writing data to the worksheet found code here.  I modified the code to write data to a spreadsheet so I can get a timestamp to the data that I collect.

    My problem is this: whenever I run the code it rewrites the header of waveform information in the spreadsheet, so I could get 100 rows of data, good timestamp and then 4 rows of header information more than 100 lines of timestamp and then 4 header lines and so on.  I have been using the feature to add the entry in the spreadsheet, which I think is part of the problem.

    How can I get waveform data to write continuously in the spreadsheet and write only once the header information?

    I have attached my code and an example of the header several write the problem.

  • RFGS waveform data files

    Hello:

    I have developed a system that uses NI SMU box with generator PXI-5652 and SMU-5450. There is a set of data files that should be provided to 5450 (those write you to niRFSG_WriteArbWaveformComplexI16). However, accurate information about what exactly is in those files is a party.

    Y at - it a tool that allows to understand the exact waveform that is stored in these data (other than their loading and using oscilloscope) files? Also, is there a tool that can be used to generate the data files which agrees to NEITHER-RFGEN?

    Thank you

    Hello, Ilya,

    I don't think that I understand correctly you.

    The niRFSG_WriteArbWaveformComplexI16 will have complex entries for example x + yj to data entry and who write on I and Q channels of the 5450. Data file do you mean you want to parse through a file and get your complex values that you will write in the RFSG?

  • How to add a record button on the front panel to save waveform data

    Hi, I'm new kind of LabVIEW and I worked on a code for an agilent oscilloscope communicate via GPIB and so far it works well on the collection of these two analog channels one by one, "Not UNLIMITED" but it does the trick (vpp, Vrms, frequency, etc.).  I've added the feature to add data to a .csv file waveform (problem: opens a dialog box until the user gathers all the data.) Solution: I want the user to save the. File CSV whenever he wants to use later on the front panel). I've added another feature to get a snapshot of the curve waveform (problem: opens a dialog box.) Solution: I want the user to save the JPEG file, whenever he wants to take a snapshot ("take snapshot" button on the front panel)).  I work with the agilent hp54645d driver. I have attached my code, if someone can tell me please how do I do this (maybe cabling and structures are solutions do not know). Thank you in advance.

    I would recommend adding a case structure just around the two record VI and a button to check the condition of the structure of each case. If you want a button to control both save functions you can put the two record functions in the same structure of business controlled by a single button. You are right in saying that the loop will cause your code runs until the stop button is pressed or until the stop condition is met. If you are wanting the while loop to stop once the recorded information you can use the button that you use to control structures case to also stop the while loop. I hope this information helps.
