Re: [H] Data Acquisition

2007-06-20 Thread Steve Tomporowski

In short, it's more less taken me 6 months to get some time to go over
this system.  It's meant for noise measurement (electronic noise).
Purchased at the same time/same quote was NI-5911, Measure, Diadem.  I
wanted Measure because it pulled in data directly to Excel.  NI Scope
does work with the board but not entirely, when you abstract data from
it, you can pull it into Diadem but then all the sampling rates are
off and you can't specify what interval of data to capture, it does
what it damn well pleases.  I *thought* I had gotten it to capture 1
sec of data at 1 Mhz, Diadem told me I had 100 points at 17.94 hz.

I wish I had the time to sit down and write something to access it.
But I would not get enough uninterrupted time, that's why I'm asking
for something that has been done already.  All I really need is
something to acquire the data, the rest I can do in Diadem.

I did a little digging on ni.com and found quite a bit of useful info
regarding niscope. I think the current version of niscope is 3.3 and
downloadable with a simple registration at ni.com. If you know your way
around in M$ Visual Studio or Visual Studio .Net, you should be able to
figure out how to communicate with your NI-5911 - it is listed as being
supported currently.

Subject: [H] Data Aquisition


Okay a different kind of PC hardware question.  My company just got
screwed over pretty good by National Instruments.  Basically we bought
a package and surprise!  The software is incompatible with the
hardware.  The incompatibility does not appear on the webpage nor did
the sales 'engineer' mention it.

So, short of rewarding their incompetence by buying labview or
something else, I'd like to find out if there is third party/free
software out there that can collect data from an NI Daq card,
specifically the NI-5911.

Anyone know of anything?

ThanksSteve




Re: [H]Video Converter

2007-06-20 Thread Steve Tomporowski

Acknowledged, my nomenclature is off.  I meant that he does not deal
with transcoding between different codecs.  One clickers seem to have
a terrible problem with this also, never even coming close to the same
size as the original.

Surprisingly most 1 clickers say they can handle the transcoding but
don't, you either have size or quality problems.  I have seen the
whole color spectrum screwed up by using a 1 clicker.  Haven't found
one yet that does not have a problem with either size, speed or
quality.

AVIs are just containers just as WAV files are. If you take an MP3 file
then rename the extension to WAV you'll see that the file still plays. It
all depends on which codec was used in making the original recording. 
whether the 1 click app can handle or not.

Re: [H] Source for socket A XP3200 ?

2007-06-20 Thread Harry McGregor
Do your boards use DDR memory (any speed)?

For the price you will pay for the XP3200, you might be better off with
a cheap S939 or S754 board/chip combo.  The Sempron S754 should beat an
XP3200+ nicely, and the Opteron 146 should wipe the floor with it.  All
of these sets are retail chips.

Both chips can work with almost any DDR memory, including PC2100.  The
S754 set at $80/pop is only $40 more than what you were paying for three
Socket A chips.

Yes the memory is PC2100 DDR, currently the motherboards are very nice
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe which are still going strong so I don't want to throw
them unless I have to. But if I can't find any CPU's I may have to
upgrade the mobo as well. Thanks for the recommendation I'll certainly
keep it in mind.
