Problem in acquiring signal from LVDT.

Hi
I have connected Lvdt to SCXI module 1540 with TBX 1315 , my PC is detecting hardware but the problem is i am not getting sensible output in labview.

Sorry to piggyback on this topic, but I am having a similar situation.
I am new to using LVDTs but have used labview several times before. How would a counter help in understanding if there was a problem in the acquisition? I believe that my connections are correct, but the output signal does not seem to fluctuate with movement/displacement of the sensors like I believe it should, even in automated explorer.
What would others recommend the best measurement setting be in, a generic voltage measruement?
Thank you for any help you could offer,
Arthur J.

  • Generate and acquire signals from Walkie Talkies

    Hello, i am a Portuguese Student and i have some problems in a Academic Project.
    The following project consists in two Walkie Talkies that are link to a USB 6009.
    One of the Walkie talkies are attached do AO0 and ground with the objective of generate a signal to the 6009 then the other Walkie talkie connected to Ai0 and GND have to acquire the same signal that i generate in the other one, this two signals have the main problem that needs to be represented in the same Chart or Graf.
    Please can anyone help me in this question and send me a (vi), i would greatly appreciate.
    something send me a post or email for [email protected]

    Hello Lynn,
    Sorry about the late response, but only today i have access again to the USB 6009 in the LAB.
    In below are the graph from the input signal, the first is the graph from the Walkie Talkie (receiver) when the button from the Walkie Talkie that send the signal are not press. What we see is only noise and others frequency's.
    In the other graph we can see a different graph this graph is from the  Walkie Talkie (receiver) but when the button from the Walkie Talkie that send the signal are press where we can see that is a different kind of signal and the receiver are ready to receive the signal and are receiving some signal from the other walkie talkie.
    First I need some help for this first steps
    1- But how can I generate a signal wave and send it from the other Walkie Talkie (transmitter), I used a Basic Function Generator
    2-How can I see in  the Walkie Talkie (receiver) if he receive the Signal that I generate in the transmitter, The graph changes of frequency and amplitude always that I press the button of the transmitter Walkie Talkie.
    3-How can I put the two signals in the same chart or graph, The main problem is like you said the USB 6009 is too low sending signals.
    Sorry my English, I appreciate any help
    Thanks

  • Acquiring signal from PCI 1428 card

    Hi,
    I'm new to labview and been tryig to acquire the trigger signal from the PCI 1428 card. Is there anyway to acquire the trigger signal internally without using an external cable (breakout cable)? Can labview acquire this signal without using the external DAQ card?

    Hello DjBiomed,
    It may help if you can provide more information regarding your application.  What are you ultimately trying to do with this trigger signal?   With the 1428 trigger line, it needs to be wired to something (either externally or through RTSI).  LabVIEW cannot automatically detect this unless it is connected.  You can look at the trigger examples that come shipped with the driver in the LabVIEW Example Finder for a better understanding.  They can be found on the browse tab under Hardware Input and Output >> IMAQ >> Signal Input and Output.   I hope this helps.

  • How would i acquire signals from a philips viridia patient monitor?

    i'm looking for a simple way to acquire patient vital sign trend data
    (BP, pulse, etc) from our Philips Viridia patient monitors in the ER.
    How can I capture these signals using biobench?

    You can use a software application called MECIFView.  It uses the MECIF protocol to acquire these signals from certain patient monitors (such as the Viridia).  You can download a demo version at http://www.mecifview.com 

  • Acquire signals from a monitor

    How does one acquire the physiological signals from a medical monitor? The monitor is a non-national instruments monitor. The patient monitor records ecg, invasive blood pressure from a patient and displays this on a screen. This information is relayed to a central station. Is there a way to obtain these signals and see the ecg and blood pressure waveforms in labview and thus analyse these waveforms. Thank you

  • Read/acquire signal from remaining empty channels of NI9205 by modifying the vi of ATI Force/Torque Transducer which uses the first 6 channelsof DAQ card.

    Hello,
    I am using force/torque transducer by ATI Automation. It provides me with its own vi to measure and write the data of the 6 signals (3 axes Forces, 3 axes torques)
    Following is my Ni system: -
    cDAQ 9172 chassis: Slot 5 - NI 9401, Slot 6 - NI 9205, Slot 8 - NI 9237. (Excitation voltage to the sensor/transducer (0-5V) using 9237).
    I connect the 6 signals from the transducer cable to channels ai0,1,2,3,4,5 in NI 9205(differential). The vi uses a calibration 6*6 matrix to finally display the calibrated voltage data.
    Now, I wish to use the remaining availabe channels that empty in 9205, namely ai17, ai18, ai19 for other signal measurements.
    ai17 channel is connected to Hall sensor  that gives out a square waveform corresponding to the rotor rpm. ai18, ai19 is connected to rotor-motor power supply's voltage and current signal respectively.
    But I am not able to access these 17, 18,19 channels from ATI company's vi. The vi loads the complete DAQ card (9205), uses only first 6 channels, hence the array data wire consists of only 6 channels. I can split these into 6 individual signals only.
    If I use a separate DAQ task to read channels ai17,18,19, then I get the error that this channels are reserved for some other task. Please tell me how can I access all the remaining channels apart from the first 6.
    I am attaching the vi here.
    Steps to run the "MEASUREMENT main.vi" : -
    Load calibration file:-  FT8840.cal;
    Load DAQ card: NI 9205
    Load ctr0 of NI 9401 (I am using this counter for rpm measurement purpose, this is my addition to the actual vi)

    There's nothing I can do to help.  I don't have your hardware to be able to modify your code and to set it up to make sure it runs properly.  Most people on the forum probably don't either.  This is where you'll have to put your programming and LabVIEW skills to work to solve your problem and make it run the way you want to.  If you run into a specific problem and get stuck, then please post back.

  • How can I acquire signal from the 2 counters on my 6034e board?

    I want to record one analog signal and one counter/timer signal with Diadem 8. I have a 6034e board. AI is not a problem, but when I define a counter in Diadem, for one of the two counters of the board, I get no or strange readings.

    In MAX, I can only test one feature: pulse counts. So I connect a TTL signal between the source and the digital ground, and it counts a random number, of around 20-30 pulses, for each trigger. Same in Diadem. When I try period measurement (connected at the gate) or others with Diadem, I don't get anything.
    I believe my wiring is correct as I'm used to counters with the PC-TIO-10 c/t board.

  • Remote devive access and acquiring signals from a different PC in the same LAN

    Well, I'm still interested in knowing if the way to see the DAQ channels from one PC to another located in the same LAN is the Remote device acess RDA?
    If the answer is yes I would appreciate the information from sombody who has done it.
    Thanks

    Please don't create another question. I answered you to a previous one that is the same than this. Here is also the response.
    Hello,
    the only easy way in order to do that is to use RDA ( Remote Device Access ). This is a component that is installed when you install NI-DAQ. Currently, RDA is only supported by Traditional NI-DAQ. So, if you have programmed your application using NI-DAQmx, it might be more dificult because you will have to use networking communication VIs as Datasocket,TCP/IP, ....
    Here you have a link about RDA. There, there is a link to an Application Note called Networking Two PCs for Remote Data Acquisition

  • Problem by acquiring data from Fluke Norma 5000

    Hello guys
    we have the Fluke Norma 5000 connected via Lan (TCPIP0::192.168.1.101::23:OCKET).
    To acquire the data I've downloaded the "LabVIEW Driver for Norma 4000/5000" (Fluke-LEM-Norma_LV9, LNOPA01.lib), but if I try to start the "LNOPA01 Getting Started VI" mostly I dont get any data due to the error -1073807345 (I think timeout error). Sometimes the data has been read, but I dont know why, I've not changed anything.
    Do you have any idea what could be wrong?

  • Using two daqmx create channel to acquire signals in random

    Hi
    I am trying to acquire signals from PXI 4472 with two DAQmx create channels. The channel selection is random. For eg. first create channel i have ch. 0, 2, 4, and 6 and the other create channel is Ch. 1,3,5 and 7. This I can do, but the problem is that I need to write the acquired data in seperate files for each channels and that too in sequential order. How can I do that. I know i need to use the loop but how will I will select the channels from two different task.
    Thanx in advance
    Nitin

    Ok, here was my idea, I am not sure if it will work for you or not after looking at your VI. 
    You can use some of your subVIS that you made to make the path different for each file.  But what I had in mind for the channels was what I did in the vi i attached.  You can just repeat the process for each of the channels and you would know that they were saved correctly.  You could also feed in the iteration number of the main VI while loop to have the binary files change sequentially (ie, data1, data2, etc).
    Again, this may not be a route you want to take, you may have other ideas. 
    Ill try to work on it some more later, but I have to get back to work for now

  • Acquire Signal with NI-SCOPE 5102

    Hello. i'm a beginner in LabView. I have to acquire signal from a NI-Scope 5102 and I have absolutely no idea how to do that in LabView, I instaled the drivers but in my computer I don't have the acquisition boards. I tried to see the examples and I can´t find nothing that can possibly help me. I need a step-by-step explanation of what to do. 

    FilipeV wrote:
    All right I will tell you what I have to do. In college we built a printed circuit board that produces a triangular and square signal. In the second part of the work we have to build a virtual instrument capable of selecting only of both signal or both of them at the same time, display in a graph the selected signal and saving the values in a file. The signals generated in the circuit will be read with a NI-Scope 5102. If you wanted to do this what would you do?
    I will see the examples and try to understand what I should do.
    I only had one lesson of LabView and we didn't do anything like this. We only worked with some waves and learned to control the frequency and other parameters, and to view the waves on a graph. That's why I'm so confused with this.
    I'd cheat.  You haven't been properly trained with the tool.
    Use Signal Express Set up measurement step and data logging.  Configure the OI with a boxes for chanel selection. test it.  Generate LabVIEW code
    The context aware help you'll have in SE will probably teach you a bit about scopes too.
    (I can't believe I just said that but if the profs won't teach the tools that only leaves bad practices to get'r'done) Don't think that your programming that way though

  • Why is it that when I saved the waveform of my acquired signal into a wav file, the output waveform of my saved file turn out to be different from my input signal?

    Hi all,
    I am currently doing a heart sound analyzer project. I acquired signal using NI USB 6008 continuosly. My program is able to saved the acquired signal into a wave file. But when I browse open the saved file, the output waveform did not look the same as the acquired input signal and also the sound of the heartbeat captured cannot be heard from the loud speaker though I have saved the file as a wav file. I am not sure if the method i use to save the acquired data as a wav file is correct.  I have attach the print screen of the differences of the output I have notice and the program I have created. I would be glad if anyone here is able to troubleshoot my program.
    Thanks.

    Hi Brett Burger,
    Thanks for your reply. For your information, I have set the sampling rate as 10000 as for the sound format, I have set the bits per sample as 16 bit, the rate as 11025 and the sound quality as mono. I tried using your method by changing the sampling rate as 8K but still my program encounter the same problem.
    I wish to also create a button that is able to generate a preformatted report that contains VI documentation, data the VI returns, and report properties, such as the author, company, and number of pages only when I click on the button.  I have created this in my program, but I am not sure why is it not working. Can you help troubleshoot my program. Or do you have any samples to provide me. Hope to hear from you soon.
    Many thanks.

  • Acquiring DC Voltage Signal from HP3457

    I have a question that I believe to be easy to solve. I am using LabVIEW to acquire DC Voltage from a HP3457A DMM. I can acquire the signal OK, but when I write the data to an lvm file only about every 8th measurement is correct (with the others being way off!!) I am using a modified VI from LabVIEW for the 3457. I have modified it to sample every second, plot the data, and write it to an lvm file. Anyone have any experience with this or any idea what may be going wrong here. Thanks in advance for all of your help.

    3457.vi ‏132 KB

    Hello,
    I checked the VI that you sent and the only thing that I could see is not proper is that the LVM file is open and close every time you write to it but that doesn�t seem to be the problem.
    I removed the GPIB part and sent a constant number and it worked ok in the LVM, so I believe the problem is acquiring the data.
    I would suggest you to remove right now the LVM part and first make sure that the data acquisition is working ok. Just extend the output of the converter from string to number outside the loop, enable indexing and create an indicator. Stop the vi and make sure that the values that you see are the correct ones.
    Hope this troubleshoot helps.

  • Acquiring and analysing signals from a wave (.wav)

    Hello everybody,
    I would like to acquire the two signals from a stereo (.wav) file and perform a Cross-Correlation between them.
    Where can I find similar examples?
    I’m an absolute beginner in Lab-VIEW 7.1 and would appreciate any help.
    Thank you

    This VI converts any .WAV file into waveform data for further processing in LabVIEW. The VI returns the file as a waveform as well as information about the sound format of the .wav file. The components of sound format include sound quality (mono or stereo), rate (8000, 11025, 22050, or 44100), and bits per sample (8 or 16).
