Data acquisition palette missing in Labview6.1

The DAQ palette is missing with Labview6.1. The computer is connected with PXI Chassis per MXI3. It contents 2 PXI-6040E and 2 PXI-6527. There's no Hardware Conflict with Windows2000 or NI-MAX. How can I solve the Problem?

Hello,
Most likely, you need LabVIEW 6.1 support for DAQ. The NI-DAQ driver is in two main parts: the driver itself, and then the support software for the platform you are working on (i.e., LabVIEW).
First, you will need to figure out what version of the NI-DAQ driver you have (if any). The easiest way is to double-click on the "Measurement and Automation Explorer" on the desktop, and then go to the Help Menu and click on "About...". Then click on "System Info..." which will tell you all of the system and software information about your setup, including the version of NI-DAQ. If you don't see the "Measurement and Automation Explorer" icon on the desktop, you probably do not have a driver installed. (You can check to make sure in the Add/Remove Programs list,
which you can find by going to Start >> Programs >> Control Panel.)
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN NI-DAQ DRIVER INSTALLED:
Go to www.ni.com/downloads, click on "Drivers and Updates", "All Software Versions", then choose the "Multifunction DAQ" link under the Measurement Hardware heading. Then, scroll down and select "NI-DAQ Version 6.9.3 for Windows 2000/95/98/ME/NT/XP". Scroll down to the very bottom of this page and click on "continue the download process". In order to download our free drivers, you must create a profile and sign into our site. Once you've created a profile and signed in, you will be automatically directed back to the driver site, and you will see a long list of downloadable files. You will need BOTH nidaq693.exe and LV61Eng.exe. Follow the directions in the "install.txt" file on how to install these files.
IF YOU DO HAVE AN NI-DAQ DRIVER INSTALLED:
Follow the same directions as above, except choose your driver version from the list (rather than NI DAQ 6.9.3),
and you will only need to install the "LV61Eng.exe" file.
Please let me know if this helps. Have a great day!

Can I develop a data acquisition app without the DAQ card installed?

I'm new to LabView.
I would like to build a simple data acquisition app (graphical display and logging). I would prefer to build this on my desktop, and then install/run it on a laptop.
I'm not sure how to work this as the DAQ card and driver are not installed on my desktop. Is there a (hopefully) simple way to configure a data source in labview so that the app will automatically (or at least easily) connect to the existing driver?
At the end of the day I don't want to install the complete dev system on my cheap little laptop just for this one application.
TIA,
Michael

yes you can develop an application without having a daq card installed. You still will use the same functions in labVIEW. If you are using labVIEW 6.1 they are under the data acquisition palette in the block diagram. If you are using LV7 there are now two types of data acquisition functions. Traditional NI Daq (before lv 7) and new Daq MX. The daq functions are under the NI Measurements palette in LV7. If you are new to LV I suggest you use the daq assistant on the bottom of the palette. This will allow you to easily configure what you want, the drawback is that you will need to use this on the computer that has the card. So try the traditionaly nidaq functions. They will allow you to develop without the card. hope this helps.

Driver missing - PCIe Data Acquisition and Signal .....

Hello, i recently used Boot Camp to install Windows XP on my 2010 15" Macbook Pro.
All the drivers are working (so far) and i haven't encountered many problems.
However, there is one thing bugging me:
When i go into Device Manager in Windows, and look down the list of installed/uninstalled devices, there is a device called "PCIe Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller" which has no driver installed.
I'm PC savvy, but i have never seen this before. My guess is that one of the motherboard drivers is missing, and Boot Camp installer doesn't include that driver?
Has anyone seen/resolved this, and if so, how?
Thanks.
Kaj.

Okay, will do.
Thanks.
Also i wonder if you could help with another problem?

Data acquisition from multiple channels.

Hello
Right now, I am able to acquire the signal from a single load cell and display it.But I would like to know of how to acquire acquire signals from two load cells simultaneously.I am using Labview 6i and I am using AI S-Scan with AI config to acquire the waveform.It would be of great help if you could suggest a simple method to acquire the signals.
PS: Please find the attached file used for acquisition from a single load cell.
Looking forward for your reply.

Hi Manasa,
If I understand what you are trying to do, it is relatively
straightforward to configure your application to acquire data on two channels.
I was unable to run your vi as it was missing some of the subVI’s
from your application. However, your
attachment was sufficient to see what you are trying to do.
Here is how to add channels:
1.
In the I/O Channel Constant, you can add
additional channels by using a comma or a semi-colon. For example, to scan the first four channels
you would put 0:3 in the constant (see attached screenshot ChannelConfig.jpg). To scan the first and third channel you would
put 0,2.
2.
The AI Single Scan VI will now read from
multiple channels. Often it easiest to
configure the output of this VI for viewing by first putting the data into an
array using the Build Array VI. It can
then be plotted in a waveform graph. (see attached screenshot ReadtoGraph.jpg
and WaveFormGraph.jpg)
Just a few notes about “simultaneous” sampling:
Most of the NI data acquisition cards have a multiplexer
between the various input channels and the Analog to Digital (A/D) converter
creating a very small delay between each channel (usually ms range or
smaller). NI does make several data acquisition
cards that can perform true simultaneous sampling, meaning that there is an A/D
converter for each channel.
For the large majority of applications, the small delay
between channels is negligible.

Data acquisition driven by encoder

Hi everyone,
I need to sample a capacitive sensor that measures the radial run-out (radial small displacement) of a rotating spindle. LabView v. 7.1 is employed to acquire the data by means of PCI-6036E card commercialized by National Instruments (NI). The spindle rotates at 100 rpm and a rotary incremental encoder is fixed at rear of spindle. The encoder gives two types of digital pulses as follows: a) A-quad-B pulses (it will be used only “A” pulses in this experiment); b) index pulse (one pulse per revolution). This encoder provides 1024 pulses type “A” per revolution. The measurements made by the sensor are driven by “A” pulses which are used as “external clock”. Therefore, every “A“ pulse, the card acquires one sample from sensor. Thus, 1024 data/rev are acquired. I want to sample 5 consecutive revolutions of the spindle. To start the data acquisition, the index pulse of the encoder is used as “start digital trigger”. Also, the index pulse should be used to count the number of revolutions of the spindle. In this way, when the number of revolutions is equal to 5, the data acquisition finishes. By contrast, the programmer also can set the number of samples equal to 5x1024 in the VI. The data acquisition is finished when the number of samples reaches this value. Similarly, the sampling process is started by the index pulse which is the “start trigger”. Note: 1) the sampled data should be put in a buffer. After the sampling process is finished, this data should be saved in a file of LabView; 2) In fact, the data acquired by the sensor are voltage analog input. Questions:1) Could you make a VI for this problem, please? Note: You can use the DAQ ASSISTANT EXPRESS VI or DAQmx TASK NAME CONTROL method.2) How to program the LabView in order to sample data triggered by the rotary encoder (pulse “A”)?3) What should I do to stop the data acquisition at the end of 5 revolutions?4) Could you send examples (VIs) similar to my problem above?5) How can I know if the program (VI) looses an “A” pulse? Is there any kind of error in VI that indicates a miss pulse? In anticipation, thank you very much for any help. My e-mail: [email protected] Bruce

Hello Bruce,
I have a complete solution for this but I cannot give you the VIs because my customer has paied for it and all rights are transfered to him.
What you need are two tasks. One task is the analog in task. You must use the DAQmx Timing.vi and the DAQmx Trigger.vi to set it up as needed. Or you create a task in MAX with this setup. The other task is a counter task just counting the pulses from the z-Index.
Next you need a small state machine with the states:
init, start, wait and stop.
init will initialize and start the tasks
start will read out the z pulse counter and wait for a change from 0 to 1
wait will read out the z pulse counter or the available samples property, when the desired number of z pulses or samples are available read the buffer with DAQmx Read.vi
stop will stop both tasks and clear them.
You will need two additonal counters which you don't have to check for lost A pulses and a external flip-flop electronic. The flip-flop will change it's state with each z pulse and the output will be used for gated counting. With each change of the z pulse counter you need to read out one of the additional counters to check if he had seen the correct number of pulses.

Data acquisition from NI PXI 5152 using LabVIEW

Hi,
This might be really stupid question, I am new to LabVIEW and the Digitizer equipment. I was wondering if there are already any labVIEW based application available to read the data from PXI5152. I would be using both channels available and may be trigger. If there is no such application available, what would be port numbers I would be using for data acquisition. But, If I am to develop an acquisition software, I would be looking at every single specification of the equipment. I am assuming the output will be a digitized signal varying with the clock input, since It is used as oscilloscope. When working with labview how would I specify the port to read from and how would my PC recognize the port. I working on a pre-configured system and they won't let me unplug anything to check the configuration. Does NI provides a software to read into the signal fed into the channel and trigger inputs. I have tried looking into the different forum discussion but didn't find any that address my issue. May be it's too simple and stupid. But, it would be a great help if you could point out my misunderstanding.
Thanks in advance.
BP

There are numerous examples. Help>Find Examples> Modular Instruments>Ni-Scope. There is a test panel available in MAX. On the Measurement I/O>NI-Scope palette, are all of the driver functions includeing the NI-Scope Express.
I'm not quite sure I understand your references to 'port's. Once installed into the chassis, it should be listed in MAX. In the functions you will be using, there will be a dropdown menu that you will be able to select the scope resource name.

Data acquisition loop with queue

What I would like to do is have a data acquisition loop that samples a load cell at 500Hz and have another loop that runs much slower to run a state machine and display some data in real time. The reason I want to sample the load cell so fast is to filter out some noise. Making producer/consumer loops with a queue kind of makes sense but I don't really care about all of the samples, I just want to be able to read a real time filtered signal at certain times. I looked at having just two parallel loops, one to acquire the data and the other to run a test and retrieve a real-time signal when I want but not sure how to pass data between the loops without using a queue. You can do it with local variables but you are at risk of a race condition. I hope this make sense. I am sure this is a simple problem I just don't know what direction to go. Thanks

Good Evening secr1973,
It sounds like you are on the right track. You already know about the producer/consumer architecture; this is almost always the first step to the separation that I think you are after.
The step that I think you are missing is a Case Structure around the enqueue element VI. You likely have some event or specific pattern that you are looking for in the input signal. You can have the output from this algorithm (likely a boolean) determine which case of the Case Structure to execute (Case 1: enqueue the element or Case 2: Do not enqueue the element).
This, of course, leads to processing being done in the producer loop, which is quite the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish with the producer/consumer architecture. You will have to decide if your processing is very simple or more complicated.
If it is easy/fast, you can likely get away with doing this processing in the producer loop. My guess is that your program falls under the category of do-it-all-in-the-producer loop because you are only acquiring at 500 Hz.
If the application requires faster acquisition rates or if the logic is going to require some processing, you may want to implement a double layer producer/consumer architecture. In this setup, you would pass all of the data from the DAQ producer to a second loop (using queue #1) that determines what to do with the data (to enqueue or not to enqueue...) and, if appropriate, write to a queue (queue #2) that the third loop can read. The third loop would be where your state machine executes.
If you have a quad core machine, each of these steps will execute on its own core. If not, you will have a little more thread swapping; not a huge concern in most cases. Here, we get into the art of programming more than the science.
In any event, I think you will be OK with a little processing for the enqueue or not algorithm in the producer loop.

How do you cyclicly trigger data acquisition after n pulses counted

Hello all, please forgive my ignorance because I am very new
to lab view and data acquisition. I am working on a system which is going to
scan an object and produce an image. The gimble that I am scanning the object
with is an X-Y type of gimble with stepper motors on each axis. The stepper
motor controller will output pulses real time to indicate the real time
position of the gimble in each axis. What I need to be able to do is count
pulses from the stepper motor controller and then output a trigger pulse to
trigger the data acquisition in a buffered mode when N number of pulses have
passed and then generate another pulse to stop the acquisition after another N
number of pulses have passed. The controller puts out 10,000 pulses per degree
of travel. The velocity that I am traveling at is 20 degrees per second, so
timing here is really important. I need to be able to utilize the speed of the
daq card and not so much the speed of the computer to iterate through a loop. I
have tried using the count down feature in the NIDAQ MX library but it does not
appear to be useful to me. I set it up and it will count down but once it hits
zero it continues to count down. My expectation was that it would either
restart the down count or it would stop. I was expecting some sort of trigger
event to take place once the count reached the zero point but I did not observe
any sort of event taking place. Once again my knowledge and background is
really limited so I could be missing something really fundamental here. I have
tried using some of the legacy functions which would enable me to do exactly
what I want to do but they do not seem to work with my daq card. I have a NI
PCI-6122 and if anyone has any knowledge on how to get this type of card to
talk to some of the non MX functions I would be more than happy to hear how. It
seems to me though, that I am limited to the MX functions which I can not
really translate into what I have learned I can do with the legacy functions. I
thank you all once again for taking the time to read this I and I will
appreciate any and all responses that can be helpful.

I have run a few more tests and obtained some data per the request of a telephone support engineer. I have some scope screen shots that might be able to shed some light on what is going on. I will provide a brief description of what I discovered before I show the resulting data. I discovered that using the number of up ticks and down ticks suggested does not yield the right timing for the clock pulses that I will need for triggering my data acquisition. When I use 55 low ticks and 2 high ticks as my settings I end up getting a pulse every 32 pulses read on the PFI line. I get the same results when I interchange the numbers, for example, when I set the program up for 2 low ticks and 55 high ticks I get the same resulting one clock pulse per 32 pulses on the PFI line. I started playing with the numbers and come to find that I was able to generate a pulse every 57 pulses in this setup. I set the high ticks to 2 and the low ticks to 71 and once I did that it generated a pulse every 57 pulses in. The results are not ideal though, a number of things happen within the first second of operation. One mode of operation the clock output pulse latches after a few pulses generated. Another mode of operation that I noticed was that it would generate n number of pulses and then just stop even though the program was still running. The results I am getting are not reproducible when it comes to the long-term operation of the clock pulse generation but the bottom line is not matter what happens the end result after 1 second is not what is expected. I will show below screen shots of my program and also scope shots for the respective modes of operation.
Front End interface
Block Diagram
55 High ticks and 2 low ticks results
55 low ticks and 2 high ticks results
77 Low ticks and 2 high ticks results
Undesired Latch after 1 second of operation
N number of pulses generated and stopped while program was still running
It appears the the long term operation (and when I say long term I mean after a second) is intermittent, it either latches high or low after a random number of pulses are generated on the clock output. I am not sure why this is happening. The one setup that I came up with that generates a pulse every 57 pulses is not going to work for the setup that I have I think I would have to reduce the 71 to 69 in order to compensate for the two pulses that happen while the output pulse of the clock is high. To be honest I have no idea what is going on and I am starting to wonder about my daq card. Being that it is not really reproducing the same results I am starting to think maybe something is wrong with it. Another possibility is that it might be the bnc 2110 that I am using. I will try another one tomarrow and see if this problem persisits. I am leaving now so I won't be able to try that as of yet but I wanted to pass this info and data along such that maybe you will notice something and be able to lead me in the right direction. Thank you again for all of your help.

Unexpected behavior with data control palette after migration to 10.1.3

I recently migrated my adf/struts app to 10.1.3 from 10.1.2.
The app compiles and runs fine in jdev, and the migration had no errors.
When I try to drag and drop attributes from the data control palette onto an existing (or new) page I get the you cant drop that here icon circle with a line through it.
This happens on all my pages and for every attribute in the data control including actions.
Is this the intended behavior? In 10.1.2 there was a section that asked if it should be dropped as a label or text field etc, I dont see that option anymore.
I can still use the component palette  JSTL 1.0 core out and drag that onto the page and then bind the value to binding.attname. this works fine.
In 10.1.3 faces I see that when I drag and drop I get a popup menu which shows the available type of component to drop the item as.
Is this the correct behavior or am I missing something?
I'm using jdev version 10.1.3.0.4 (SU2)
Thanks

So as far as I can tell the issue bioled down to having something wrong with my libraries definition. When would go to the project properties the libraries tab would not show correctly, I was able to remove some libraries and then add them back in. This made the libraries tab in the project properties work, and as a side effect fixed the data control drag and drop.
thx

How to use peak detection in labview to detect peaks from data acquisition information

Hi
I am a university engineering student who is working in a team to develop a coin detector, its purpose is to recognize different coinage and detect fakes.
For this we are using LabVIEW 8.5.1. I am relatively new to labview and have had no experience of using to before. We are trying to integrate four voltage signals produced by an electromagnet, straingauge, optical sensor and a proximity sensor. We have already developed signal conditioning for these tests and now wish to put them into labview.
Our plan is to use peak detection on each of the tests so that labview can detect peaks which correspond to different coin types, provided they meet set criteria for each coin. Then to combine these either using logic or mathscript to produce a Boolean output for each coin.
One of our advisors helped us develop a peak detection program for a simple simulated sine wave however we are struggling to adapt this for data acquisition information and itegrate it with mathscript and to be honest it does not make much sense. I have attached the program below. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Chris,
Here are several ways to help you get started with peak detection:
1. On your functions palette, you can search for "peak detect" and you'll find several different variations of VIs that will do peak detection.
2. You may also want to take a look at this tutorial: Peak Detection Using LabVIEW and Measurement Studio
3. There's an example in the example finder called "Peak detection and display" that will probably be useful.
Hope this helps,

Data Control Palette in Jdev 10.1.3

I have a struts project, and an ADF model project in my workspace. I created a new Data Page. My Data Control Palette shows the ADF components available from my Model Project. But, I cannot drag anything onto the page like it seems to be possible from the documentation:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/papers/10g/ADFBindingPrimer/index.html
I know the screenshots are for 10.1.2 but I expect it to be similar. I don't see the "Drag and Drop As" dropdown. Nor do I see a UI model tab in the structure pane. Am I missing something?

No luck with new projects. I created a new workspace - selected JSP, Struts, ADF. Created one App Mod in the Model. Created One ViewObject based on a simple select query. Added the ViewObject to the AppMod. Opened the struts-config.xml under the ViewController project. Dragged a DataPage from the component palette. Double clicked the new page. Completed the wizard with default selections. Opened the new JSP in design view. My Data Control Palette shows the app mod with the view under it. I try to drag the View onto the page, and the circle-slash icon appears and does not allow it to be dropped on the page. I can't drag out the attributes, operations, or anything at all from the Data Control Palette. I don't see any text printed on the Java console run from jdev.exe.

I've lost my data control palette

well this is embarrassing
my JDeveloper 11.1.2.2 seemed to switch roles from "all features" to "java developer" (maybe I did it, but I don't remember doing it)
so I switched it back to "all features" and everything seems ok except I can't see my data control palette in the application manager view anymore
I've tried a few things (turned it off and on again, restarted etc...) but to no avail
have I broken it or am I missing something obvious as usual?
thanks
Mark

Hi Frank,
I've just tried your suggestion (I let it restart JDeveloper each time) and at first nothing changed, I then tried it with changing JDeveloper to prompt for the role at start up and still nothing, I then closed the application navigator and restarted and then opened Application Navigator, nothing again, restarted it one last time to make sure and as I was staring at the screen the "Data Control" palette appeared a few seconds after the others, have since restarted and it's now there immediately along with the rest.
Thanks for your help Frank!

How to drag component from data control palette and drop in a line of text?

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 and get frustrated with my attempt to drag a component from the data control palette and drop it in a line of text in a .jspx page. What I need to accomplish is to display a line of text to the use on a page:
Get clearance for the Spring 2009 semester.This is a line of static text except "Spring 2009" is the {color:green}Term{color} attribute of a view object dragged from the data control palette. I found that if I try to type some text on a page, as soon as I create a new line, a <f:verbatim> is created. So when I tryped the first part of the text, the code is:
<f:verbatim>

 Get clearance for the

</f:verbatim>Then drag-and-drop the bound data from the data control palette:
<f:verbatim>

 Get clearance for the
 <af:outputText value="#{bindings.Term.inputValue}"
 binding="#{backing_student_printOrQuit.outputText6}"
 id="outputText6"/>

</f:verbatim>And then add the last word:
<f:verbatim>

 Get clearance for the
 <af:outputText value="#{bindings.Term.inputValue}"
 binding="#{backing_student_printOrQuit.outputText6}"
 id="outputText6"/> term.

</f:verbatim>This looks OK in the Source tab. But in the Design tab the bound data jumps above the text line. Both the bound data and the <f:verbatim> appear to be block elements in the page. And so is it when the line is displayed in the browser:
Spring 2009
Get clearance for the term.How to overcome this problem?
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Newman

Shay,
Waht a surprise! Just now I had already finished typing the posting to tell that it did not work. I tried changing the original code to
<f:verbatim>

 Get clearance for the #{bindings.Term.inputValue} term.

</f:verbatim>and got the display:
Get clearance for the #{bindings.Term.inputValue} term.I tried various ways, putting single quotes around the whole expression in single quotes, around part of it, using square brackets, ... I was going to click the "Post Message" button, but gave it one last try:
<f:verbatim>

 Get clearance for the ${bindings.Term.inputValue} term.

</f:verbatim>and I got it! --
Get clearance for the Spring 2009 term.It was my gut feeling that I was quite close because the dot-separated hierarchy {color:green}bindings.Term.inputValue{color} looks right, only some tiny bit in syntax narrowly missing it. I was lucky.
Thank you for the suggestion!
