    hvac control diagrams how to make it?

    Just to expand a bit on the previous posts: AI = Analog Input = Physical property or quantity that does not have a discrete value or state, e.g temperature and pressure. Devices such as thermistor temperature sensors and duct static pressure sensors are connected to analog inputs. Typically one...

    Baeboard heating - VAV cooling

    Hi remp, The typical heating sequence I have seen, which is essentially what you stated, is: 1. Position damper for minimum airflow 2. Switch on peripheral heat (baseboard) 3. If space temperature isn't satisfied by peripheral heat only, open reheat valve (modulate it if it's a proportional...

    pnuematic thermostat calibration?????

    Assuming the pneumatic device can be replaced with electronics, how should the electronic one be calibrated? This is not a facetious question, I work with digital thermostats, specifically BACNet compatible ones used in DDC. I "calibrate" the 'stat with a digital thermometer (which itself has to...

    Definition of "fast paced" with respect to organization size

    "Fast paced" is a euphemism for "Out of control". Good Luck, Greg Hansen

    Audio File Question

    Hi m777182, I'm afraid, unfortunately, I don't have much insight to share that would point you in the right direction. My main thought was that I might be able to decode some blinding fast Eddie Van Halen solo or such, based on the idea that the loudest instrument masks the others and would...

    Audio File Question

    Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply post, and your interest. Besides enjoying(?) the challenge of Windows programming, I am an amateur musician. I also have an interest in digital signal processing. Combining these interests (programming, music and DSP) has led me to try to develop an application...

    Audio File Question

    Hi Mike, I have been dabbling at writing some programs to analyze WAV files too, so it's gratifying to see a post from someone with the same interest. Here is a quote from a site I used as a reference: The site URL is http://ccrma.stanford.edu/CCRMA/Courses/422/projects/WaveFormat/ So it...

    literature for introduction to C programming

    "The C Programming Language" ISBN 0131103628 by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie is excellent. Good Luck, Greg Hansen

    CONDENSATION PROBLEMS

    The absence of a dedicated combustion air inlet may be a code violation. With respect to the condensation problem, a heat-recovery ventilation unit such as a VenMar should do the trick. I had a ventilation unit in my house, they do an excellent job controlling humidity and making the living...

    RPG

    Do you want to learn RPG III or RPG IV? Bob Cozzi has a website: http://www.rpgiv.com devoted to RPG IV developers. He also has several books on RPG IV programming. I don't know too much about RPG III, however. There's a ton of websites devoted to RPG, Google "RPG IV programming" and you'll...

    Lifting Pumps

    Is the height restriction because the well depth is greater than the building ceiling height, and pipe connected to the pump exceeds that? How about lift, cut (or disconnect) free end of pipe, lift, cut pipe, and so on... Post someone to watch that the top end of the pipe does not contact...

    Reheat control valve on supply vs. return

    I think the valve is on the outlet side because the water is cooler, and less stressful to the valve components. Good Luck, Greg Hansen

    Software to Program With Graphics

    Another suggestion: Although I have not personally done any programming with Microsoft Visio, I have seen a fairly hefty commercial HMI (Human-Machine Infterface) program built with it. It's very easy to create graphical "shapes", or objects, that can be manipulated programmatically. There is a...
