AT-5102 scope card

because of hardware failure, trying to get my old
AT-5102(ISA)cca to work in the short term, Have back reved LV to 5.1 loaded 6.1 NI-DAC, reprogrammed code under 5.1 platform. Code shows no error. Problem is the system (instrument wizard) does not see the cca. Do I need a driver? any ideas why I cann't get the thing to work. Platform is win 98.
Earnest Bertram

The AT-5102 card is supported by NI-DAQ 6.1. You are using the correct driver, but it may have been installed incorrectly. Please try reinstalling the driver.

  • Labview example for data capture using 5102 scope card

    How can I program a Labview Vi to control, and capture a waveform using the 5102 scope card. I need to be able to set it up to continually capture a waveform (Channel 1 and Channel 2) when triggered on a rising edge of channel 1 and then store the data on disk automatically, then wait for the next trigger.
    Any help or tips as to how I could do it would be helpful.
    Thanks

  • Why is it that I can't do a continuous streaming to disk with a 5102 scope card (PCI) when I can do it with a DAQ Card of much lower specs (my requirement is for small sampling rates only)?

    I am told that the 5102 Card (PCI) does not support continuous streaming of data to the hard disk. My application requires only very low sampling rates. If I can do it with a low spec DAQ Card using LabView why can't I do it with this card?

    Hello,
    The PCI-5102 is a high-speed digitizer card that has a slightly different architecture than the DAQ cards and was not built with the ability to stream data to the PC. However if you are sampling at low rates you can still acquire up to 16 million samples, which is done by using dma to tranfer data from the onboard memory on the 5102 to the PC memory. However, you will not be able to save the data to disk until the acquisition is complete.
    Another option would be to purchase either a DAQ card or a PCI-5112. Both boards can continuously stream data to the host PC and you should not run into any PCI bus limitations if you are stream to disk at relativiely slower rates.

  • I need to test NI-Switch card and Scope Card

    I have a PXI-2509 NI-Switch Card and PXI-5112 Scope card,i want to test both the cards.

    Hi Murali
    The easiest way to test your boards without programming, is to use the Soft Front Panels. The SFP is installed with the driver. You have one for Switches and one for the Digitizer. You can find them in MAX (Tools>>Soft Front Panels) or under Start>>National Instruments>>NI-DMM or NI-Switch
    Hope this helps.

  • Using Scope card with Motion card

    Sir,
    In my application of Non-Destructive Testing of tubes using Ultrasound, I am using a motion card for controlling the motion of the Ultrasound probe (that runs with stepper motor)using the motion card. This probe moves all over the specimen under test. I am using Scope card to get the data from the probe and display and storing the waveform. Now I am moving the Probe step-by-step manner by specifying the step-increment and acquiring the data. Is it possible to acquire the data if i move the probe in the continuous manner by specifying the speed and end position alone? What are all the things i should take in to consideration to get and store the data efficiently?
    Kindly help me regarding this.
    Thanks,

    From the standpoint of the Scope card there should be no issues with measuring the data continously. There are several LabVIEW shipping examples that you could take a look at.

  • Is it possible to record data directly from PXI-5112 scope card through PXI bus to SCSI RAID array (connected to PXI-8210)?

    Colleagues,
    Is it possible to record data directly from PXI-5112 scope card through PXI bus to SCSI RAID array (connected to PXI-8210)?
    Which will be the maximum transfer rate for continuous data recording?
    Thank you,
    Sergey
    Sergey

    Sergey,
    The PXI-8210 can connect to any SCSI 2 compliant device. If the RAID controller is SCSI 2 and appears just like a hard drive in the operating system, then you can send data directly to the RAID array. The problem is that the driver for the PXI-5112 does not yet support continuous acquisition. The on-board 16MB or 32MB buffer stores the data until the entire acquisition is completed. Once the acquisition complete, all of the data is transferred from the on-board buffer to the hard drive. After that happens, the NI 5112 is ready for another acquisition.

  • NI-Scope NI 5102 Timeout

    I am using a NI-Scope card NI5102 to aquire pulses, and therfore using edge
    trigger. I periods were ther are no pulses I want to acuire the noise. This
    can be done by changing the triggering mode by the software, an it works
    fine. The problem is the transition from edge triggering to direct trigering
    takes to long time 2,5seconds. When in edge triggering mode I use the status
    VI to check if the aquisition has finished and it seems that this VI waits
    in 2,5 seconds before it return a status when there is no trigger. Can this
    wait/timeout be set?? I am using IVI drivers and I do not find were to set
    timeout values!

    Hey guang,
    The examples are located in C:\Program Files\IVI\Drivers\niScope\Examples\VisualBasic. If you do not have these, download and install the newest ni-Scope driver (2.7) from the website and look again.
    look here for newest driver:

  • Device number makes a difference in NI SCOPE rise time

    I just moved 3 scope cards (PCI 5102 ) from an old PC station to a new
    PC station. Using MAX I set the device numbers to match the old
    configuration.
    Everything looks OK except which ever device I designate as device 1,
    shows excessive rise time. If I use MAX to call the same physcial card
    something other than device 1, the rise time go aways. See the attached
    screen shots.
    What am I missing here? I can't find any configurations settings to explain this.

    The reason you are getting different results is that you are sampling at different rates.  You can see the rate above the green LED.  The rate is a combination of the Time/Div and the record length that you have selected.
    So take a look at the configured record length for each configuration by going to Edit>>Device Configuration.  Then choose the one that works best for you.
    The reason the behavior follow Dev1 is because the SFP saves the configuration information for each device.  However, it is by the device number not be the specific board itself.  So the configuration file for Dev1 has the record length set lower, and therefore the differnce in data.

  • PCMCIA 5102 not compatible in windows 7, USB equivalent / Tektronix TDS 2024B usage

    Hello,
    I am given a 8.5 labview program that works in windows xp and uses PCMCIA 5102 digitizer card for signal acquistion and showing it in graphs.
    we are converting that code to LV2012 and win 7.
    i just found out that the pcmcia 5102 is not supported in win 7 anymore and is showing niscope error and cannot install any drivers for it.
    we are using the 4 channels on it (ch0,ch1, trigger,clock) and these cards are also obsolete.
    is there a USB equivalent for it or even 3rd party with labview drivers, ni has all the usb new ones that have only 3 inputs. how to solve this problem?
    we have tektronix tds2024b, how can i use this as an equivalent to PCMCIA 5102 and acquire and show on labview graphs real-time. I didnot program any instrument before ..
    one thing observed is that the oscilloscope graphs cho, ch1, trigger nicely even though i removed the clock input. i donot understand the use of clock input if it can graph all the three signal as expected without clock. is that clock only required when using a NI digitizer? 
    plz help.
    Thanks

    Hey freemason,
    You are correct that the PCMCIA 5102 is not compatible with Windows 7, however we do have the USB-5132 and USB-5133 which have a USB connection and should be (if the program uses the NI-SCOPE driver) a drop-in replacement.  They do not have the PFI lines that the 5102 does, but it sounds like you were only using that as an external clock and the 5132/3 have a 50MHz/100MHz internal clock respectively that is both faster and more accurate than the internal clock on the 5102.
    There are also PCI options if you do need those PFI lines.
    As for whether you can use the Tek TDS2024b as a replacement: As Dennis said, unless you used the IVI driver in the program, there will be a lot of work to convert the code to use that scope.  There is a driver for it, and if you're ever interested if a driver exists for a 3rd party instrument, you can go to the following link and search; the Tektronix TDS series is first in the list of most popular drivers.
    http://www.ni.com/downloads/instrument-drivers/
    Finally, that PCMCIA card has a 20MHz clock inside of it that you should be able to use for a sample clock, so an external clock isn't required.  If you had a more accurate clock you wanted to use or maybe if you wanted to synchronize the card with another one, that would be the main reason to use an external clock source.
    Hope this helps!

  • NI USB 5102 Windows7 support

    Hi.
    Is NI USB 5102 oscilloscope supported in Windows7 and if it is which Ni-Scope version should I use?
    Thanks.

    The USB-5102 is not supported under Windows Vista or Window 7 with NI-SCOPE.  Although I have not tried this, you may be able to get it to work using NI-DAQmx.  The 5102 is essentially an overclocked E-series DAQ board and can be programmed using either NI-SCOPE or NI-DAQ (it is the only scope card that is like this).  You may need a 32-bit version of the OS to get it to work.

  • NI-5102 Oscilloscope Measurement Problem

    Hi,
    I have a very different problem regarding NI-5102 Oscilloscope Card.
    Problem 1:
    This card is performing self test through the measurement & automation explorer. But through its driver program its showing failed. As there is self test vi. It should return 0 for passed, but its returning 1.And also from front panel of this card, its working well.
    Problem 2:
    Through front Panel of Oscilloscope i am able to see all the wave and also measure frequency, But through program it not giving any value, may be some settings are necessary for this problem. So u see this problem or if possible, u send a simple vi program for
    measurement of frequency of any wave (TTL pulse, sine wave).
    Waiting for your response,
    Jiten
    dra ([email protected])

    When running the niScope SelfTest.vi, you usually receive a message indicating that the device passed the test and you should also receive a number 0 in the test result indicator. If the board is not passing the test, make sure that no other programs are using the same device (like MAX or the Scope Soft Front Panel). Adding an niScope Error Handler after the niScope Close will help us have more information of what is happening. With the error code, you can then visit ni.com and look for any Knowledge Bases that talk about this issue in particular.
    Regarding the second problem, there are some pretty good example programs on the web that show how to do frequency analysis using NI digitizers. I am including links to some of them. Hope this helps!

  • Changing Ni scope V/div results in signal saturation

    Hello everybody !
    I am using a NI PXIe-5114 scope card in my PXI system and I am facing a issue ...
    In the test panel of that card in NI MAX, according to the V/div settings, the signal is cut-off or not just as if a saturation was applied (even though the amplitude can definitely be displayed on the screen ...). 
    The problem is that in my LabVIEW vi's when I call the NI scope, I always get this saturation because I haven't found any option to tune the V/div from a vi ...
    Can anyone help me see where I am going wrong with the use of my NI scope ?
    Thank you in advance !

    There isn't really a V/div for the NI scopes.  No screen, so no divisions.  Instead, you have a range, which is the maximum value you can read.  You set this with the Configure Vertical VI.

  • How do you abort the Scope Fetch before a trigger occurs.

    I'm using a NI PCI 5112 scope card.  I've configured the start trigger on PFI 1 input with no timeout.   There does not appear to be any way to abort or reset the hardware once the niScope Fetch Binary 8.vi is waiting for the start trigger.  Does anyone know how to kill the niScope Fentch Binary 8.vi before the trigger is recieved?  (winthout restarting the computer!!!)
    I'm programming in LabVIEW 7.1.1

    As long as you are in the Fetch call, all other calls to the Scope
    driver will block until Fetch exits.  That's why the Abort doesn't
    do anything.  You have two options:
      1) Use a finite timeout.  Obviously, you are running into
    cases in which the trigger does not arrive, and want to exit
    cleanly.  This is exactly what the timeout is for.
      2) Determine the acquisition state before calling fetch. 
    If this is a finite, single-record acquisition, poll on acquisition
    status and do not call fetch until the status is 1 (acquisition
    complete).  If you're doing a finite, multi-record acquisition,
    poll on the Fetch>>Records Done property and only fetch the
    records that have completed.  If you're doing a continuous
    acquisition, poll on the Fetch>>Points Done or Fetch>>Fetch
    Backlog property and only fetch the number of points that have been
    acquired.
    There's no clean way to break the infinite timeout fetch without forcing LabVIEW to close.

  • How to synchronize NI-Scope and DAQ

    I use a PXI-1042 System with a PXI-5124 Ni-Scope Card and a PXI-6120
    with traditional DAQ controlled by a PC running WinXP and LabView 7.0
    The intention of this setup is to make synchronized acquisition with
    both cards with different sample rates. For the sake of an example let's
    assume the NI-Scope runs at 100MS/s and the DAQ (6120) with 100kS/s. The Trigger is generated by
    analog triggering of the 6120. I'm looking for a solution to garanty
    that for a STOP trigger with post-trigger scans the last sample of the
    6120 coincides in time with the last sample of the NI-Scope 5124 card.
    Or to put it in more general terms a way to identify which of the 1000
    Samples the 5124 Card takes in the sample interval of the 6120
    coincides with the respective sample of the 6120 ? The point is to have
    a time resolution (for phase difference measurements) better than that
    given by the samplerate of the PXI-6120.

    Here you can find an example that shows how to synchronize a DAQ-Device with a Scope-card:
