degrees per second

[antique]

I am trying to calculate angle movement in degrees per second on this vi.

I have labview 7.1 and 8.0 using SCXI-1001, SCXI-1102 and SCXI-1303

I have the vi working great and can display the degrees in both rotate and extend.

The sensor that I am using is a 2SA-10 from GMW.

I just can’t seem to figure out how to calculate the DPS in this circuit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

What is your sampling frequency?  Frequency and number of samples should give you a time, which will help in measureing DPS.

It would be 10ms if I am thinking right. I am very new to using labview and have 4 engineers thumping on my head. So I hope I am answering you question right. They would aslo like to see this reading on the fly as the unit is moving.

Hi Antique,

It sounds like you want to calculate a running average, in which case the Point by Point Mean function in LabVIEW may help.  I put together a small example to show how it works.  It will take the average of a certain length of numbers (notice how changing the sample length input changes the results).  Using this VI with some shift registers to pass values between loop iterations is probably a step in the right direction.

Thanks,

Justin M.
