linux device driver - Reading multi-channel serial usb in pure data -

-

i have multichannel serial data 8 channel adc chip i'm connecting computer via serial-usb cable. want use these separate channels in pure data, pd_comport object doesn't read multi-channel serial data. i've scoured pd discussion fora there's no mention of how this. thoughts on how can go it?

per definition serial connection single-channel. if have multiple (synchronized) channels, it's called parallel.

so problem 1 of 2 following:

parallel serial streams

if transmitting 8 adc-channels via different serial connections, (special) cable should register 8 different devices (e.g. /dev/ttyusb5, /dev/ttyusb6, .../dev/ttyusb12). in case, use multiple [comport] objects (one each serial device want interface)

single multiplex stream

in (more likely) case, adc transmits it's 8 channels in single serial connection multiplexing data, have demultiplex serial stream yourself. how this, depending on actual format of data.

assuming adcs 8bit , have 4 channels (for simplicity), might receive serial stream like: ... a1 b1 c1 d1 a2 b2 c2 d2 a3 b3 .... (with a, b,... being samples 4 channels; , 1,2,... being sample frames), demultiplex signal 4 streams like

| [t b              f] |                  | |  +------------+  | [i ]/[+ 1]/[% 4]/  | |                  | [pack      0      0] | [route 0 1 2 3] |  |   |   |

in practice protocol might different (e.g. there ought way specify frame boundaries (there's no way looking @ numbers, whether seeing a1 b1 c1 d1 a2 b2 or b1 c1 d1 a2 b2 c2, it's unclear whether 1st sample belongs channela or channelb).

thus must hands on protocol definition , interpret data [comport]

How to calculate SNR of signals in MATLAB? -

-
i've encountered simple, yet fundamental problem on calculating snr: there several signals : s1 = original , pure clean signal without noise. n1 = white gaussian noise going added s1. s2 = s1 + n1 (the noisy signal before performing noise-reduction algorithm) s3 = noise-reduced signal (after performing noise reduction algorithm) n2 = s3 - s1 (the amount of noise after performing noise-reduction algorithm) now want compare snr before , after performing noise-reduction algorithm. which signals should consider snr_before!? s1/n1 or s2/n1 ? which signals should consider snr_after!? s3/n1 or s3/n2 ? which commands or functions should use in matlab in order compute snr_before , snr_after? thanks billion putting time on helping me. what know calculating snr before : snrbeforenoise = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( noise .^ 2 ); and snr after : residual_noise = signal - noise_reduced_signal; snr_after = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( residual_noise .^ 2

i need place custom knob image shadow uislider. far have image of 38x38, of there region defines shadow of knob. now while using image, when slide knob extreme ends actual knob not able cover end points, hence end points visible under transparent region of knob image this code using customize uislider uiimage *slidebtimg = [uiimage imagenamed:sliderknobimg]; [self.ratingslider setthumbimage:slidebtimg forstate:uicontrolstatenormal]; [self.ratingslider setthumbimage:slidebtimg forstate:uicontrolstatehighlighted]; how can implement custom knob shadow beneath it, covering end points?? look inside uislider.h , there methods let customize slider knob , track needed.
