Cable for usb 6008

Hi friends,
What is the properties of cable which used to connect Analog I/O or Digital I/O of USB 6008? How must be selected a cable?
have a nice work

For most general applications, basic wires will do the trick. We dont really have any specified wires to use specifically for most of our modules as it is based off the application (current, circuit length, etc.) but if you want to do a more specific choice, there are a lot of resources online and equations to calculate the necessary wire gauge. Some links to those are here:

Making another counter VI for usb-6008 using Labview 8.5

I want to create another counter for usb-6008 using Labview 8.5 as it is needed to calculate two speeds simultaneously.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The best way to do this is to use the counter. The counter counts
signals without having to interrupt the system or use the USB bus.
When you request the number of ticks that the counter has seen, a
request is thrown from the CPU to the USB line to the 6008, which then
asks the counter "How many ticks have you seen?" That number is
returned over the USB bus, goes to the CPU, and then displays on your
screen. Since the DIO lines on the 6008 are software timed, there is
no way to guarantee that the data returning to the CPU is
deterministic. The conceptual difference between software-controlled
DIO (which nondeterministically returns an entire data stream) and a
software-tick-request-controlled counter (which returns a single number
with the number of ticks) prevents us from using the DIO lines on the
6008. The cheapest way to count more edges is to purchase more 6008s.
Another possibility would be to purchase a PCI counter board such as
the PCI-6602, which has 8 counters. The most counters we offer in the
USB form factor is 2 per device.

Nokia Adapter Cable for USB OTG CA-157

I want to purchase a genuine Nokia Adapter Cable for USB OTG CA-157 . But how ? Nokia store saying they won't sell it . No option to buy it on nokia web site . Online shopping websites having it but is they are really genuine ?
Please give some info or link & cost hint to buy it .

Hi everyone! I'm new here and I searched to find some info about USB OTG cable related to nokia 701 and did not find any. I have a question/problem. I bought a USB OTG cable and it worked with my 701. But It was telling me it is using a lot of power and after a few minutes(1-2) it tells me device is not supported and to disconnect device. After that I tried 3 different usb sticks and all are not supported. I let it go for 2 weeks and tried again and the same story: first is seeing the usb sticks, then not supported. What is the problem? I do not understand. Any ideea? Thanks

Register level programming for USB 6008

Hi all,
I am trying to work with USB 6008 in a linux environment without using DAQmxbase drivers. Since Comedi presently doesn't support USB 6008 device, I am considering writing the driver for USB 6008 myself. Is the register level programming of USB 6008 device possible? Where can i find the related documents and examples?
Greetings

DIO for USB 6008

Hello there folks,
I just need suggestions from everyone. have 5 digital signals and am using USB 6008 to measure using DAQ assistant express VI ( not DAQmx ), and use the digital binary values from the 5 channels to select a case statements. Attached is the word document .
Kindly confirm:
1) if the PIN numbers are correct
2) the labview part will work with DAQ assistant express VI
3) any other example installed in labview which you can suggest to read more about , so that i can program in labview ??

Hi Miaa,
The best examples for programming your application without the DAQ Assistant are "Read Dig Chan.vi" and "Read Dig Port.vi" (located under Hardware Input and Output » DAQmx » Digital Measurements in the Example Finder).
The "Chan" VI reads each line as a true/false value and returns an array of booleans, and the "Port" VI reads the entire port and returns an integer. You can use both of these data types to drive your case structure, but I think the integer format will make the programming easier.

Standalone drivers for USB 6008

Hello, all.
So here's my problem: I am running an experiment that must be on
a Windows 98 machine for various reasons, and I want to take some
additional data using a USB 6008 device. I know that NI-DAQmxBase isn't
supported on Win98, but I don't think I should need the full system, as
I've already written a portable C executable on an XP machine, and can
modify it over there if need be. However, the USB 6008 can't
locate the necessary drivers to install on a machine if DAQmxBase isn't
installed first. My question is whether there is some way to
install the USB 6008 without having the full DAQmxBase installation
present, i.e. if there is some sort of standalone driver somewhere that
I could download, or perhaps a way to do things using VISA or some
other lower level interface (though I would hate to have to resort to
that.) Any help will be much appreciated!

HEPatUTstudent,
Unfortunately there is no way to use the 6008 with Windows 98.
Even on a supported OS you still either have to use DAQmxBase or the
full DAQmx driver -- there isn't a stand alone driver for specific
devices.
The 6008/9 were recently added to the full version of the NI-DAQmx
driver in version 7.5, so if you can move to at least Windows 2000 you
would be able to program the 6008 in the same API as every other NI DAQ
device that is supported by DAQmx.
Hope this helps!

Calibration cert for USB-6008

It doesn't look like the USB-6008 is supported by the basic calibration certificate generator. I need calibration certificates for several of these units to meet ISO 9001 requirements. What do you recommend?
Thanks,
Treck

My response did not post everything I typed. Like Brian mentioned you could probably get a calibration center to calibrate the device and give you a certificate. I also meant to say those devices would be good alternatives. So your choices would be to look for a calibration center that would do it for you, or to get a higher end DAQ device. Sorry for the brief and unexplanatory post from before.
Have a great day,

NI-DAQ for USB-6008, LV 2012

Hello, I have a NI USB-6008 for which I want to create a VI with Labview 2012 for logging one channel at 0-2V from a current shunt. In the our previous version of Labview 2011 I was experimenting with DAQ Assistant which made the job easy, but in LV 2012 this doesn't seem to exist.
I was reading help files and I should be able to use NI-DAQmx but I can't seem to be able to find it. In NI Max I can see NI-DAQmx is there and can run NI-DAQmx test panels on the USB-6008, but in LV 2012 I go to blank VI, block diagram, and I'm stuck. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
Can you check if you have DAQmx functions in Measurement I/O > NI-DAQmx in the function palette?
If no, did you re-install the DAQmx device driver together with LabVIEW 2012?
And what is your DAQmx version you're currently using?

Which cable for USB Power Adaptor

This Nano is my first ipod and I recently purchased a USB Power Adaptor, from ipods4less, to use in the event I didn't have access to a computer to charge it.
I thought the cable that came with the Nano would work but the USB end of the cable is a little too big to plug into the power adaptor.
Would someone be able to tell me exactly what cable I should buy that will plug into this power adaptor?
Thanks.

I'm wondering - is there such a thing as a firewire adaptor? I'm wondering if instead of a USB power adaptor, which I ordered, ipods4less sent me an adaptor that needs a firewire connector. Since the hole in the adaptor is smaller than the USB plug but it's similar then maybe a firewire is needed.
I sent ipods4less an e-mail and I'm waiting for a response to see if that's the case.

Can you buy firewire cable for usb external?

i recently bought an Iomega external HDD for time machine, it's a usb based drive, i really regret it because it's so slow. Could i just buy a firewire cable and use it on the drive so it can go faster?

I've got four external FireWire 800 drives attached to my G5 tower. I installed a second FireWire PCI Express Card on the G5. They pretty much rip over the USB 2.0 I had before.
Only comment I have is that if you use Time Machine and a FireWire 800 drive, make sure that it is connected directly to a Mac FireWire 800 port and not daisy chained to any other device. If it is daisy chained, you may get one of two issues - a very very very slow initial backup with a potential failure to backup. I learned the hard way and when I direct connected my backup drive to its own port, it cut the initial backup time by 75 percent and did not fail.
I use my Mac for my work and have a lot of applications and data so it took about five hours to run the initial back up. Without the direct connect, it ran for about 26 hours and failed near the end of the attempt.
Just one man's experience, hope this helps.

Error -200220 LabView 7.1 USB 6008

I have two PC one with LabView 7.0 another one with LabView 7.1 and NI-DAQmx Base 1.4 installed for USB 6008.
If I run example VI for LabView 7.0 on first PC it works OK, but on second one I get Error -200220 occurred at an unidentified location Possible reason(s):
Device identifier is invalid.
Can someone explain me what to do with this error.
I already tried to update LabView to 7.1.1. and drivers to 7.5 but things are getting even worse with it so I reinstalled all back.
Can somebody give me simple VI example for this device (for examle AI monitoring) and may be you can help me with this error.
Sergey.

Sergey,
If i'm being totally honest, I would ditch DAQmx Base and move to DAQmx 7.5, in the long run this will make things ALOT easier.
From your previous post, I'm guessing you already have 7.5 downloaded or on disc somewhere. Install this driver instead. The following guide may help you out:
http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/5F6EEBAF2522C98B862570120052F35F
As soon as you run into any problems, let me know by posting here and I will work through them with you.
One other thing I would mention is that you may be experiencing problems that have arisen due to multiple install/uninstalls, and the registry may have been mixed and that's why you are having the trouble.
Let me know how your getting on and we can progress together!

Will USB-6008 DAQ be able to power and record voltage for UMS T5 tensiometer at the same time?

I would like to use my NI USB-6008 to provide power to my UMS T5 tensiometer (http://www.ums-muc.de/en/products/tensiometer/t5.html) as well as take readings from it, but I don't know if this is possible to do properly. The supply voltage for the instrument can be as low as 5V, which I can easily get from the dedicated +5V channel. I am able to power the instrument and connect it to an analog input on the 6008 and measure a voltage in differential mode. However, while reading the support literature for the instrument, I find the following:
"Potential data acquisition pitfalls: Because the pressure transducer is configured in a Wheatstone full bridge, the input voltage and signal mV output cannot be connected to the same reference (ground). Hence, the signal mV output can only be measured using a differential voltage measurement. Therefore, do not attempt to make a single-ended measurement of the pressure transducer mV output." (http://www.decagon.com/assets/Uploads/MeasuringUMSTensiometerswithnon-UMSControlandDataAcquisitionSystems.pdf)
My understanding is that the 6008 can take a differential measurement if I attach the signal "+" and signal "-" to the positive and negative analog input terminals. However, it seems that all of the Ground ports on the 6008 are grounded to the same reference, which would make my voltage measurement invalid according to the paragraph above. So my real questions is: if I attempt to record the voltage using one of the analog inputs on the 6008 in this way, is the measurement valid? Or do I need to find a separate power supply with a different reference ground to ensure that the measurement is accurate?

The specification sheet for that device is very poor. The manual is not much better. Companies which want to sell scientific equipment should publish decent data sheets or get out of business.
In section 3.4.3 General requirements the device is described as a "non-amplified bridge circuit." This information along with the bridge impedance should be in the specifications because it is essential to applying the device under any circumstances other than the nominal behavior at 10.6 V.
The answer to your question is this:
You can use it with the USB-6008. The 5 V power supply will result in output voltages slightly less than half (5/10.6) the voltages specified under nominal conditions. You can use the differential input mode on the USB-6008. The absolute input voltages will be about 2.5 V with the 5 V supply. That voltage is within the working range of the device. The differences will probably be less than 100 mV. The resolution of the USB-6008 on the +/-1 V range is about 0.5 mV so your pressure resolution will be around 1 % of full scale. The input impedance and termination voltage of the USB-6008 will introduce some errors. These may be on the order of 5-10%. I cannot predict much better without the missing bridge impedance specification. Those errors should be systematic and relatively constant. A calibration of the whole system - sensor and DAQ device together should allow you to compensate for much of that error.

Is there a usb 3.0 cable for iPods?

I was wondering if there are USB 3.0 cables for iPods. Any feedback would be great

No. Apple only sells one cable for the iDevices.
The iDevices will work with a USB port but it will be not faster than a USB 2 port.
