measurement time and openness 4132
Hello
I use a 4132 SMU with a switch 2531 to measure different resistance in an electric circuit. I use a brief biphasic pulse of 50ms ~ to measure resistance. My problem is the measurement time if long - it seems that the minimum pulse width I can do is a 30ms pulse in a polarity and a pulse ~ 40ms in the other polarity. I disabled 'way' that knocked 20ms on each phase, but I am still left with a ~ 70-80ms measure, but I wish it were half that, if possible. The only other way I can see to minimize the measurement time is at the bottom of the window opening, but any if I increase or decrease the time of opening, the measure takes about 10 x longer if the opening is none other than 1 PLC.
Attached is the Subvi I use to measure the unique resistance value. Note that first I close the relay to solve part of the circuit and then configure the SMU and then get several measures, one for V (+) and one for the (-) V. This measure will be repeated 15 times in quick, although succession with different closed relay, which means that the SMU gets reconfigured/initialized 15 times with the same parameters, so maybe that's my problem. I have not ventured into the handshake, but I would like to know if there is anything else I can do since the handshaking deal would take a lot of programming. In any case, when I run the VI several times, there are only 8 ms between biphasic pulses, so the reconfiguration may not take THAT long.
I posted a jpg file of the time trace of the impulse it generates (10,000 samples per second). Note that the first phase of the pulse is a different length of time that the second phase: there is nothing in the program that would cause - it would be more logical if the first phase was more time on behalf of increasing the time for the configuration of the SMU. So I have sort of a bunch of problems here: 1) cannot reduce opening time 2) want to avoid a handshake VI if it means hours and hours of programming, 3) uneven pulses. I hope someone can point me in the right direction!
Thank you very much

gimNPC,
As mentioned earlier, you should not call Reset every time at the end of the method. Instead, set the output to 0 c. Moreover, all the attributes that are not changed will not need to be reconfigured, which will speed up the loop a little (maximum, that I would expect several milliseconds).
When you call niDCPower Reset, the opening time is reconfigured. On the 4132, anytime, the opening time is reconfigured, must wait a minimum of time to allow a measure being erased. It is because of the behavior of one of the hardware components that we use. If you prevent the reconfiguration of your opening time during each run, your speed should be improved significantly.
Please let us know if these suggestions help, or if you have any other questions.
Thank you

Measurement time 4132 SMU is too high
Hello
I use PXI - 4132 DC EMS to perform some DC measurements at high speed. I just took a 1 K Ohms resistance, forced 1mA and measure 1V. I have this done configuration and code completed. I get the correct measurements. But my problem is with the measurement time. The total duration is about 45ms to complete installation and measurement, with the exception of the 'initialize and close '.
I checked the time at every step and I noticed that the maximum duration is taken during the "voltage reading. Out of the total 45ms, it takes about 34ms just for a measure. It's just a VI "Ukraine power measure" takes about 34ms, which is ridiculous compared to the Kiethleys. I tried to vary the time of "openness" and turn off the 'Auto Zero'. But the measurement time is still high. Can someone help me and let me know what is the best time of the measurement obtained with 413 x series SME?
Thank you!
Hey Phx_tech,
The amount you reduce your delay source depends very much your HAD and how regular you have to your level of tension until you start taking your measurements. If your Instrument is reactive, you can see discount gas and unintentional ringing during the transition from your output level and therefore would allow enough break-in before taking your measurement. The best thing to do is to experiment with different delays of source and see how much delay need you to get a consistent and reproducible measure. If you have a scope that is available, it will also show you the step response of the SMU with your Instrument. If your first reading is higher than your other readings, that this could very well be a problem with not enough time settling. What kind of DUT Testez_ you?
From page 4 of the specification, you can see that 1 PLC, we can expect about 1 ppm RMS noise of the range to 1 PLC. This means in the range 10 au our measurement noise would be 10 pA RMS or 60 pA pk - pk. However, your DUT + cables will pick up the extra noise and you should consider using wires of twisted shield pair to reduce noise picked up in your system. The shield can be terminated at the mass of the chassis on the side EMS of the cable to help reduce noise appearing in your measurement.
Let us know what you find after experimenting with you HAD.
Thank you!

I get an error message that "a copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time"and I have no open copy. How can I fix this problem? I like firefox because it runs many technical programs on the web that do not work with safari. I have FireFox installed on my PowerBook MacPro OS X 10.7.5 32.0.1 version. My activity monitor shows all activity of FireFox, so don't know not what he sees

How to stop multiple self-switching to the address bar every time I open a new tab and try typing something anywhere outside the address bar? As something just wants me to use this integrated search when you type something non-Web-address in the address bar and press to enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that happens repeatedly on as every second, as I just got off the address bar and start typing again, but still he passes me in the address bar, then 3, 4 times like that. And the result is that I don't see the address of this page.
I think that its has something to do with my AVG Antivirus, because it started the same time a Nation AVG started to appear in each new tab I opened (and which is irritating as me, I've read here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I don't want to lose all my settings) but when I type something in the address bar and press enter It opens the search results in Google.
Please try to help me, I love Firefox but I have to switch to Chrome until I fix this.
Thanks in advance
First of all, please update Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support is not safe. So, let us know if you still have this problem. Update Firefox to the latest version

Geez, you have to go to 10 different things even get here! I'm having a problem with getting a small version of firefox every time I open a new window but it is empty, it looks like your web page, I have to close it, to look at my site that I opened. I did a virus scan and there is nothing. I have windows and firefox is my homepage, btw when I go to IE I don't have this problem, seems like when firefox installs a new version of that something is happening.
Try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.

Firefox continues to try to update each time I open the browser, and it then puts a message saying update failed. It does this on both of my computers. We already have the latest version, the other does not. How can I stop Firefox to do this?
If there are problems with the implementation at day then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to remove all remaining files.
Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
- Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible.
- Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data, because all profile files will be deleted.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

I downloaded the latest version of firefox 3 times and always get the message that I don't have the current version. I'm not able to open Pandora.com because of this. What Miss me?
Hi cheryl28,
It seems that the details of your system, would you say that you are still on version 3. How have you tried to update Firefox? There were errors during the update? You should look at Firefox updated to the latest version for more details.
You can also try to go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
- Download the full installer for 8.0.1 to your desktop.
- Closing Firefox. Remember that she is still ongoing in the background.
- Run the Setup program and re-open Firefox.
Hope this helps!

When I use the selection recently marked with a bookmark in bookmarks, it works very well and load the page quickly and opens another window. but when I go to unsorted bookmarks and double-click on the desired bookmark it loads very slowly and cycles for a long time. If I go to the firefox icon in the Launcher on natty 11.04 with unity it shows two open windows. I click on the unsorted Bookmarks window and manually stop and it works well and unordered finishes, loading the bookmark page I was trying to see. Why the unsorted Bookmarks window closes on its own? Is there a setting I can do close automatically. It really slows down the loading of the page, I tried to see. well thank you for any help or advice.
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See basic troubleshooting: make a new profile:
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

I recently dropped my laptop and it is weird, one day he int open up to 4 start times and sometimes it shows me a folder and a question mark in the interface and sometimes asked to reset my password, what are the steps to take?
Anything can be corrupted on your MacBook Pro, but from what you say, it seems that the cable drive/SSD/flash memory/SATA hard was seriously damaged. Him "question mark" means that your Mac is unable to find any bootable device, meaning that it does not yet detect your OS X drive.
You should make a backup of your files (if you can still do it) and take the Mac at the Apple Store or dealer to get a diagnosis. There may be several damaged parts.

You can try the steps in the following link and check if it solves the problem:Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.I hope this helps! -
Several times after that I opened Google it does not connect to the internet. Has worked for a long time, and now it will not. Sometimes it opens if you "Refresh" sometimes not. Help, please. It has been stable over the years and now it will not work. I get no help when I diagnoise of problems, but I never. It has been checked and rechecked. PitStop does not even recognize a problem. I could change the homepage, but I prefer to use Google if it works. Frustrating.
You may need to update your toolbar, google has made some changes just about everything and possibly that the page is not where it used to be.
