BNC-2090 & PCI-6036E: MIO power or LPM power?

Which power mode do I choose?
There's a choice of "MIO-16" and "LPM-16" on the back of the BNC-2090.
Neither the string "MIO" nor the string "LPM" appears in the owner's manual for the PCI-6036E [322339c.pdf].

The PCI-6036 is an MIO board so you'll want to use the "MIO-16" selection. The MIO boards are our newer series of boards whereas LPM series is our older legacy boards.

  • Floating voltage in BNC 2090, PCI 6024E

    Hi experts, I have a single ended connection on a BNC 2090 connected to PCI 6024E board. However, when I leave it connected(without any input) I see that the voltage gradually increases to +10V. Even when I input a signal, I see that the 10V forms a baseline, which hinders any measurement. Is this some sort of grounding problem? Kindly post any helpful thoughts on this matter. thanks. Roshan.

    Roshan,
    I believe that the 2090 has a switch for each channel which configures the inputs for either Single Ended configuration (AI channel is read with respect to your 6024's Analog Input Ground) or Differnetial configuration (AI channel reads signal on BNC connector differentially). Ensure that the terminal configuration you have programmed for you channel matches the terminal configuration selected by the switch on the 2090. If you do not make any explicit setting, the 6024 will default to differential mode.
    I hope this helps,

  • Strange voltage observed in NI BNC 2090

    Hi all, I have a BNC 2090 and AT-MIO-16O-2 DAQ board. I am recently
    (starting this morning) experiencing strange voltage readings from the
    ACH1, 2,3,4and 5. The voltage input from ACH0 is about -.2V; and range
    from -1 to -3 in other channels. These happens even when nothing is
    plugged into the BNC other than the its connection to the DAQ in the
    computer.
    any suggestion on what might be happening?
    Roshan.

    This is actually very common. When nothing is connected to the pins the voltage will charge up on the leads. Sense the lines are not connected to anything and the voltage has no where to go the lines will normally completely saturate the capacitors on the board.
    This is not a bad thing and it should not affect your measurements, if you do not scan the channels that are not connected. If you are worried about the unused floating signals, you can wire the unused inputs to ground.
    If you are performing measurements and notice that the inputs are floating you should check your grounding methods. In general use RSE for floating sources, NRSE and DIFF for grounded signal sources. If you want to use NRSE or DIFF on a floating signal you will need to add a 10-
    100kOhm bias resistor from the negative lead to AIGND to reference the signal. Refer to this KB for more help.

  • Using PFI1-PFI9 on BNC-2090 to trigger recording on a PCI-MIO-16-XE-50

    Hi there,
    I've got another question about triggering using the BNC-2090. Now I can get an output of a particular digital line from the DIO-96 I'm using using a ribbon connector connected to CB-50 Connector block. This connector block has individual line outputs, so is it possible to take one of these individual lines, plug it into PFI1-PFI9 of the digital connection area of the BNC-2090 and have the PCI-MIO-16-XE-50 use the appropriate digital PFI line as a trigger? I ask this because I assume the default trigger line whey I click "Use external trigger" in NIDAQ Tools for Igor Pro is PFI0, so I was wondering if there's a way to change that. Thanks a lot!
    Arul Thangavel

    Arul,
    Yes, you can connect the dio line of the dio-96 to any of the PFI lines that are located in the pinout of the bnc-2090. The default line to be used for triggering an acquisition is PFI0,but you can modify that.
    In LabVIEW, you can select the proper PFI line by configuring it in the "AI Start.VI", or by using the "AI Trigger Config.VI" before using the latter VI.
    In LW/CVI, you can also select the proper PFI line by configuring it with the "DAQ_Config" function call and with the "Select Signal" function call.
    Hope this information is helpful.

  • How can I connect the output of a force transducer unit(BNC cable) to the PCI-6036E DAQ card via the SCB-68 block connector?

    I m using the 404A force transducer unit by Aurora Scientific and i want to connect the (converted to Volt) output, which is a BNC cable, to the PCI-6036E DAQ card via the SCB-68 connector block, facing difficulties in choosing the correct input mode for my signal(couldn t clear this using the manual), setting the switches and which channel shall i use in the block connector in order to configure ot with LABVIEW

    Hi MSc Student,
    Connecting your transducer to the 6036E card via the SCB-68 connector block should be pretty straight forward. You have 2 choices of input mode, Referenced Single Ended (RSE) this is where you will connect the screen of the BNC cable to a ground connection for the DAQ card in the SCB-68 and the other to any analogue input channel . These are listed in the device pinouts in the help section of MAX, under the 68 pin devices section. The terminal block numbers correspond to the DAQ card's pin numbers. Another method, which avoids ground loop problems would be to use the Differential connection and connect the signal and ground connections of the BNC cable to a differential analogue input, these are listed in the 6036E manual and in th
    e MAX help section again. the disadvantage to using this method is 2 analogue input channels are used and you must use the lowest 8 analogue input channels for differential inputs.
    The switch settings that you need can be found in the manual for the SCB-68 in table 2-1, the manual can be found here : http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320745b.pdf
    The switches are for power to extra signal conditioning and the cold junction compensation for thermocouples which in your case you do not need so set the switches to the positions in the first box ie Direct feedthrough, with temperature sensor disabled and accessory power disabled. The channel you use should not matter the only ting to remember will be that if you use differential mode measurement that you will be connecting the signals to AI(n) and AI(n+8) so differential input 0 is across the connectors for AI0 and AI(8). The channel numbers corespond to the analogue input number for the card.
    I hope this information helps,

  • Cross talk in BNC 2090

    Thanks for the information provided. I followed your advice by connecting
    DGND1 with a wire to USER1 and DGND2 to USER2. But I still get cross talk.
    It also puzzles with a fact that when I connect a signal source (from a
    functional generator) to ACH1 but in fact the signals show up on the
    Biobench screen as ACH0 as defined. So my hunch is that something wrong
    happens to BNC 2090 or the PCI-MIO-16XE-50 board installed in the computer.
    Would it be possible for me to send in the BNC2090 for a check? If so, what
    are the procedures to follow.

    We handle all repair requests over the phone. The procedure is as follows:
    1. Go to www.ni.com/ask to create your own Service Request number (SR#). Choose the Phone NI option. Fill in the form with the appropriate information.
    2. Call the support number that is given to you and enter in your SR#. You will be directed to an Applications Engineer (AE) that will assist you through the process. The AE will be able to answer any questions you may have about the repair process.

  • Bnc 2090 offset and other errors

    I have a bnc 2090 plugged into a pci 6070e. The BNC is currently plugged into a DC variable power supply. Right now, when I change the voltage on the power supply, the other channels reflect this change even though it is only plugged into one channel. I have read about ghosting and even when I lower the sampling rate, the problem is not fixed. There is also an offset that is showing up on the MAX test panels and in my VI. This offset steadily decreases and seems to arbitrarily change. Whats going on here?

    About the offset another point, I assume you use a measurment on one coax connector (+ and - in one connector), in that case your switch should be set to RSE.
    In MAX this should be set as well (and in your VI) instead of the default differential measurement.

  • Thermistor measurement using NI PCI-6036E and CB-68LP

    Hi everyone,
    I am quite new to LabVIEW and DAQ and I am in an attempt of performing temperature measurement using the only existing hardware available which are NI PCI-6036E and CB-68LP. I was in the attempt of trying to perform the example of temperature measurement based on a book by Robert H. King "Introduction to Data Acquisition with LabVIEW", but as I go further I realized that the hardware I have is totally different that the one in the book, as the one in the book can perform direct resistance measurement from the thermistor.
    I have learnt that there is a need of external excitation current needed but I am not sure of now to create one.
    Is it true that I need to do a lot of external circuitry in order for me to realize the temperature measurement with only PCI-6036E and CB-68LP? I don't have a budget to buy SCXI or BNC-2120 accessory.
    I bought a breadboard and a few resistors and connected to a voltage supply to build the external excitation but it failed miserably. 
    I am using Windows XP PC running LabVIEW 2011. 

    Hi Lynn,
    Thank you for your reply. I was just wondering at which terminal should I connect the AI0 of the DAQ card. I did the connection accordingly, by placing the external resistor in series with the thermistor. I connected the +5V source to one end of the external resistor and at the same point I place a connection to the AI0 and at the other end of the thermistor to the ground. The voltage seems to be a constant 5V.
    I wanted to monitor the change in temperature of the thermistor by monitoring the voltage variation. When I measure the voltage with an external multimeter there seems to be some changes in the voltage, from 4.51V to 4.54V when I place my thumb on the thermistor to give some heat. However, I couldn't monitor any variation with the VI on LabVIEW. Did I misconnected everything?
    I build the VI solely using DAQ Assistant to measure voltage.

  • No BNC-2090 Accessory Option in MAX/No Signal

    I'm using an AT-MIO-64E-3 card for A/D signal collection, with the card connected to a BNC-2090 signal box. The Measurement and Automation Explorer doesn't have an accessory selection for the BNC-2090, when I try to run the test panel I get no signal, and VI's give the error -10003 from AI Hardware Config. I'm running Windows 2000, and this problem arose when I upgraded from NT to 2000. Is there an easy fix for this, or will I need a newer A/D card? Signal is getting to the BNC-2090, it's just getting lost somewhere between the 2090 and Labview.

    Hello Dstockw,
    Are you using AC Coupling with this application? If so, E-series cards do not support it and will give error -10003 from AI Hardware Config.
    What version of the NI-DAQ device driver are you using? NI-DAQ 7.0 is a fairly recent version that supports that board (using Traditional DAQ). If you are using an older version of NI-DAQ, try updating it and run the test panel again. NOTE: If you update the driver, be sure to uninstall your previous version of NI-DAQ first.
    Check to be sure that you have properly installed the BNC 2090. Information about installing and configuring this device can be found at:
    http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/321183a.pdf
    Also, be sure that you are using a proper cable to connect to your AT-MIO-64E-3 card. Th
    e recommended cable is the SH 1006868 shielded cable. Try double-checking the installation/configuration of this DAQ card by looking at:
    http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320517g.pdf
    You may also want to try running the E-Series Diagnostic Tool. This tool will test the functionality of your card and run a self-calibration on it. You can find this test at:
    http://www.ni.com/support/selftest/
    Try these steps and let me know if you have any further questions.

  • Can I use a SH68-68EPM cable to connect a PXI-6704 with a BNC-2090?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if I could use a SH68-68-EPM cable to connect a PXI-6704 (sitting in a PXI-1002 Chassis and talking to my (Windows 7) PC via a PCI-8331) with a BNC-2090-box.The manual suggests to use a D1-cable but maybe it is possible to still get the analog outputs from the BNC-box although the cable is different?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi cars10,
    The BNC-2090 is not compatible with the NI 6704 due to pin mapping.  You can use BNC connections via the CA-1000 or use a card from the analog output series family with the BNC-2090A or BNC-2110 as described in the user manual.

  • Getting error 10401:Unkn​own Device Error from configured PCI-6036E

    I have installed a PCI-6036E into a PC with a P-II and 32MB RAM. I am running NT4.0 SP6 operating system. Attached to the PCI-6036E is an SC2345 with one SCC-A10 attenuator module. When I try to run either one of the sample solutions or a VI that I have written, I get an error 10401 Unknown Device. The text goes on to say that the board is either unsupported or not configured. When I go to the MAX software, I can see the board and it lists the interupt as IRQ 11 and DMA as 0. The values are grayed out. The SC2345 and installed module are set up as accessories. If I click the Test Resources button on the Properties window, it comes up with the error that the device is not responding to the first IRQ level
    How can I fix this? Is this an NT specific problem or will this sort of thing happen under Win9x and Win2k?

    Videojet,
    The types of errors you are receiving usually indicate improper installation or a bad board. Please make sure you have followed the proper installation procedure outlined in the Hardware Installation Wizard: http://www.ni.com/support/install/.

  • What is the maximum number of samples that can be acquired with a single trigger using PCI-6036E DAQ card?

    1. My PCI-6036E card has a FIFO of 1024 bytes in AI. Maximum how many samples can be acquired with single trigger for digitizing a waveform?
    2. PCI-6036E DAQ card has got a AO with 10ks/s update rate? Can I generate a pulsed output with the AO of this card? I need a pulse of, say, 5 V and 1 kHz frequency.

    Giri,
    1.The trigger is usually for enabling the acquisition. I mean, when it is logic zero, you acquire nothing; however, when it is logic one, you start acquiring your waveform,and you can acquire continuously without having to worry about how many samples, unless you want to set your program for doing so. You can acquire continuously by implementing buffer acquisition. Finally, the FIFO that is in the board will not affect the buffer acquisition.
    2.Yes, you can do that! You can generate your 5V signal with that specific frequency, and you should not have any problems, because the freq fits in the update rate.
    I hope this information is helpful.

    The XXXXX's means it's recording sys-ex information from somewhere, probably from your Yamaha. It also means you're probably recording onto an audio instrument track, or a MIDI track, not an audio track.
    Without assuming too much on my end, I would suggest, obviously, of course, that you spend a day or two really learning how Logic operates. Learn the terminology, really digest it, and take baby steps.
    Plug in one MOTU interface, and get audio in and out of that. Then plug-in the Yamaha, and do the same. Once you get that under your belt, set up the aggregate device, and by that point, you should be well on your way.
    Focus on the "Getting Started" guide, and after you have a handle on that, try pumping audio in and out of the interfaces, one interface at a time.
