Can I measure the frequency from all PFI pins?

I am using a PCI-6229 DAQmx card. I am trying to measure the frequency from pin PFI 5. I have been successful in measuring frequency from PFI0 and PFI1 but for some reason I am not able to measure on other pins. When I run the run the DAQmx Read sub VI it times out like it is not reading anything. I am using the same sub VI I created to measure 5 as I did 0 and 1 so I know that the VI is working. What is the matter? Are there only certian pins that I can measure? Would the sub VI time out because there is no signal on the pin?

Hello Flowserve1,
Thanks for your post!
The basic answer to your question, "Would the sub VI time out because there is no signal on the pin?", Is yes if there is no signal coming into the pin your are bring a signal in on. It sounds like you were able to do a "frequency" measurement on PFI0 and PFI1? Usually the counter tasks are used for such a measurement. How are you performing these frequency counter tasks on your PFI lines? It looks like on the pin read out that PFI0,1 and 5 are for digital tasks and PFI routing lines. Are you internally routing your signals to other places? If you want to measure the frequency using counters, this board has two of them so use Ctr 0 and 1 gate or source to make these measurements. Let me know if any of this helps you and perhaps you could post a piece of your code that you are using to make your frequency counts.
Cheers!

  • How can I calculate the load from all modules in ECC6.0 for our production

    Hello Experts,
    I have doubt , how can I check the load from all modules like FI, SD, MM, HR, PP, BASIS, ............etc from sap level. Can you explain from which transaction and how to check the workload for each module seperately from sap level. We are wondering about the size utilization of each module. Our production database is R3 ECC 6.0 on Oracle 10.2 on AIX operating systems.
    Thanks for your help in this regard.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How can I measure the frequency of an analog signal?

    Hi,  I am trying to measure the frequency of VAC signal coming from a gas turbine engine at my university.  If I can get the values of frequency, I can determine the speed (RPM) of the engine.  I am fairly new to LabVIEW and I have been looking through manuals like crazy in order to find out how to obtain the frequency.  I have measured the signal with an oscilliscope and the highest frequecy will be about 1.5kHz.  I am currently using a USB-6218 and it can collect the voltage signal with ease, but it won't give be analog frequency so simply.  Can anyone explain a way for me to obtain the frequency values?  And if you could show or tell me in a very simple way (because I am not very fluent in LabVIEW yet), that would be amazing!  Thanks!

  • How can I measure the frequencies of two analog input signals simultaneously?

    Hi
    I have two AI signals, and I need to determine the frequencies of those signals. The frequencies range from 1-125Hz. I currently have a VI where I can sample one of the signals for 1 second (sampling at 300 Hz for 300 samples) and determine the frequency. 
    I need to read two signals at the same time and get both of the frequencies at the same time, but I can only figure out how to read them individually, so I can read one signal, then one second later I read the second one, then I read the first one again, then the sceond one, etc..  How can I read two signals simultaneously?
    Thanks

    "at same time", this depends on the hardware, you can do as has been previously stated just set up a 2 channel acquisition and you will get 2 sampled waveforms back.  Most hardware A/D as multiplexed and true simultaneous sampling is not done.  At 125Hz this is not an issue unless you are interested in very small phase changes between the samples.  just keep this in mind if you are expecting samples to be completly synchronized.

  • I need to measure the frequency of a signal on Pin 39 (PFI 15) of a PXIe-6361 module.

    I need to measure the frequency of a signal on pin 39 (PFI 15) of a PXIe-6361 module.  All of the digital I/O pins are already assigned and in use.  The signal frequency range is 50KHz to 500KHz.  I have tried all of the sample programs for DAQmx Counter/Timer frequency measurement.  If I modify them to use my hardware, I get run-time errors with conflicts with resources already assigned.

    Hi Julia,
    Thanks for the response.  As I stated before, I have tried all of the examples available that apply.  There are only three and one of those uses two counters.  The two I have tried are:
      Examples/Hardware Input and Output/Counter Measurements/Digital Frequency/
          DigFreq-Buff-Cont-ExtClk-ArmStart.prj     and
          DigFreq-LowFreq1Ctr.prj
    These examples default to using what appears to be traditional DAQ hardware (Dev1/ctr0 and /Dev1/PFI0).  I changed the counter to mine (/PXI1Slot3/ctr3) and directed my signal source (PFI15 on pin 39) to the counter.  No matter what I tried would not run.  They would always compile but gave run-time errors ranging from resources already in use to “external trigger required”.  I have no external trigger source and, if I did, there is no indication of how to assign it to the counter.  NI has a very good X Series Users Manual that tells all of the great things you can do with the hardware, but there is NO CLUE how to do any of those things!!!!  I know that some NI DAQmx functions use hardware resources that they never tell you about.  I discovered that when trying to produce a single output pulse from a timer using counter #0.  (Which, by the way, no one at NI could tell me how to do it.)
    Measuring frequency should be very simple.  The unknown signal is routed through a precise gate to a counter, and then the counter is read.  NI DAQmx uses the opposite approach of using my signal as the gate and counting their internal source.  However, the examples would not let me use the internal reference sources.
    To answer your other questions, I am not performing any other measurements at the same time and the counter is not being used for anything else, period.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks again.

  • Unfortunately, I lost by an update all the apps on my iPad 2. Now I can not pull the data from the cloud to my iPad. How is this possible?

    Unfortunately, I lost by an update all the apps on my iPad 2. Now I can not pull the data from the cloud to my iPad. How is this possible?

    If you just installed iCloud does that mean you updated the iOS that's running on your iPad?  If so, you'll want to restore all the programs you have from the backup you hopefully made.
    Refer to these articles for help.

    If you don't want to use iCloud, simply don't activate it.
    You can also download the programs again.
    If you live in a country that supports re-downloading apps then you can re-download them.  You can refer to this article for more help.

  • How can I stop the program from going through all of the text previously put in.  It is making the process very slow.

    while True:
    and just indent everything else under it
    Ends when you press ^C.
    if you wish to have a way to break out of the loop, say, when you press enter at the VPC number without entering anything, add the following after your vpc input:
    if not vpc:
    break
    which will break out of the while loop and end your program.

  • If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

    If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

    Thank you
    I realize they are separate
    I will do music match so that all of my songs are in ICloud
    Do I need to keep the library on my PC or can I download whatever playlists I want stored on the device at that time.
    Example: I have almost 1G of Christmas Music - because it is on my PC in my llibrary they sync to my ipod touch every time - i really want those stored somewhere else so they do not sync [or take space on my pc] with exception to one month per year.
    I am thinking I can create space on my PC and Touch by storing songs on icloud that i do not listen to regularly; I am also thinking I can request songs by playlist to download to my touch or PC
    Is that a clearer question or am I just confusing myself??

  • My computer crashed and all my music is gone. Can i put the music from iPhone back on the computer?

    my computer crashed and all my music is gone. Can i put the music from iPhone back on the computer?

    Yes you can. There are few ways to do this, assuming that itunes with your library doesn't work anymore.
    You can try with a freeware software for Windows named
    iPhone PC Suite
    Another way is to install on your iPhone an app that shares your music. I have one, it's called SongExporter.
