CFP-2220 using digital output for status to another cFP-2220

I have two cfp-2220 that I want to connect with each other using the DIO's of 5V that they have.
The problem that I have is that I don't know the impedance to connect the CFP2220-1 Digital Output 1 to a relay for switching the CFP2220-2 Digital Input 1.
I am using a relay for interfacing the signal. This relay needs 34mA 5V to operate. I am not sure if the CFP2220 would have the needed power to turn the relay on and to close the contact that will operate the CFP2220-2 Digital Input 1. In the user manual of the CFP2220 does not mention anything about it.
Thank you!

Hi ggarza:
Here is the current specification for the digital outputs on the 2220: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0147137D2442E4A9862572C100758895?OpenDocument. As you can see there, it only supports 3mA, so it would not be possible to use this relay. In addition to this, you should be careful using this outputs, as the manual specifies they are not isolated.

How to use Digital output to turn on sensor for Analog Input?

I am trying to use a digital output to turn on an array of sensors that I then wish to read on 16 analog input lines. I have a 6024E DAQ card. I am planning to take data at 10-20 hz, so not terribly fast, but I will be acquiring for long periods of time (days) so I will be streaming data to disk.
I have a fair bit of experience in Labview basics, but can quickly get out of my depth when I try something new (like this). I have V6.01.
It looks as though the best way might be to do the DO and then a single AI as individual events, then write to disk and continue through the loop. I am puzzled, however, how to keep this cycle on schedule given that I don't know how long it will take to sample 16 channels
, write the data to disk and get back to the starting point... perhaps this is so fast that I don't need to worry about it? The actual timing of the samples (be it 10 or 20 hz) isn't too critical, as long as I can record at what time they were taken... it would be frustrating to find that I was several seconds off after days of data.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
If you are worried about the time of your acquisition being off, then you should associate each voltage measurement with a timestamp. This will allow you to know the exact time at which the sample was taken and you will never be off. You can use the Get Date/Time in Seconds.vi in our while loop with your AI code so that you can read a sample and read the time. You can than log the voltage value and the timestamp to your file.

Is it save to use digital output as a digital input signal for another channel

Hi all,
I know this is a stupid question, but I do not have other signal generator by hand. So what I want to know is, can I use the digital output signal of my USB-6001 as an input signal for the same device but on other digital port? I did not try out directly because I do not want to burn the device down......
Thanks
Solved!

I do loop backs all the time, especially in my test systems as a way of making sure my signal is making it to the UUT pin. I typically throw in a 10k resistor just in case, but I have never had an issue.

Using mathscript to generate multiple digital outputs for switch control

Hello
I am new to this NI LV and a have kind of a basic question. I would like to use Mathscript to generate an array of bolean numbers which will be used to control the Digital I/O lines. I am using NI 6251 USB device and the Mathscript code runs well. But I have a problem using this array to control the Digital output. So I created a simple test programme where I set the DAQ assitant to generate 4 digital outputs(P0.0 ~ P0.3) and it gives error that ".. number of channels in the data does not match the number of channels in the task..." (see attachment) . How can I solve this problem thank you.

looks like you did not initialize all 4 of the elements in the bool array....

Digital output for SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Prob

I am trying to connect SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum to my Amplifier (Sony DVP-NS92V) via the SPDIF coaxial digital connection (I have also tried the digital output at the rear panel), unfortunitely the output i got is only on the left and right front speakers. I am currently having a 7. channel surround system. I have clicked both the dital output only under speaker settings and advanced control for play control, and I have also?tried by using both DTS and THX media file, but still does not work. Can anybody help ?

With a digital connection (optical or coaxial SPDIF) that is normal. Check this sticky thread for more info:

Horrible feedback using digital output SB0

Hi,
I have a Music Xreme SB0460 sound card for my home theater PC to get the digital signal to my A/V center. The card worked fine until I upgrade to Vista and could never get it to work. So I went back and installed XP, but then it updated to XP sp3 and it has been a disaster ever since.
I downloaded the correct driver and installed it, but now when I use the digital output on DVD's, I get this feedback of about second of audio that jsut keeps looping, it changes every few seconds as the DVD plays. If I pause the DVD, the feedback loop continues so whatever is looping at the time of the pause, keeps on going indefinately.
I have turned of all functions of the card in the console, except keeping the SPDIF on at 48k and setting it to external Dolby Digitak and DTS decoders. The Dolby Digital light comes turns on on my reciever so I think the signal is getting through but the computer is generating this feedback loop.
I have played with this for months - with no luck.
I noticed I have 2 consoles - the old style tabbed, and the newer graphic - is it possible I have 2 console apps running at the same time?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Is there anyway to have an application use the output for Alerts/Sound Effects?

I am trying to set some applications to use the output designated for the System Alerts and Sound Effects, while other applications continue to use the regular Output? I am using the Audio MIDI Utility with Aggregate/Multiple Outputs.

An action can specify the resources that it needs, which will trigger alerts if they are not there. Assuming that the system resources are there, you can include actions in an application bundle - see the Installing Actions section of the Automator Programming Guide.

Cannot select Digital output for ZS 2 Noteb

Hi, I just got an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card today, installed it, seems to work, but I also got these 5. headphones... The headphones can be plugged in either from the 3 Analog outputs from the card's docking station, or a single /8" cord, which I assume would be digital. I tried using the 3 analog outs, but when I tried to calibrate the 'speakers', front and rear sound exactly the same (front left and rear left sound as if they are in the same position, same with right), so I tried using the single /8" cable plugging it into the card's digital out, and it sounds much clearer, but nothing plays when it tries to play from the center channel or rear channels, and "Digital Output" is shaded so it cannot be selected from the THX Setup Console...
If it helps, I have the Kinyo KY-00 headphones, and they have their own small amp, which may be causing the hissing sound.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

guh. I'm retarded. Somebody delete this topic

HT3354 how can i use one table for reference to another

how can i use a table for a referance to another eg when i type a word in a cell, i will like it to match the word with another table then return the information in the cell i am using

you can use vlookup() (or any of the lookup family of functions) to locate an item based on a key value:
Here is an example of something you can do with two tables:
The table on the right is title "Data" and stores a list of names with age and favorite color.
The table on the left uses the value in the first column to lookup up information in the table Data
in the table on the left:
B2=IFERROR(A2&" is " & VLOOKUP(A2, Data :: A:D, 2, 0)&" years old and likes the color "& VLOOKUP(A2, Data :: A:D, 3, 0), "NOT FOUND")
I know this look complicated. so I'll break it up into smalled pieces:
first the "&" is called the concatenate operator and joins two strings. like this:
a string is a set of characters between double quotes.
so "string 1" & "string 2" becomes "string 1string2" or "Sam " & "Jones" becomes "Sam Jones"
you can use cell references instead of strings directly in which case the concatenation is performed on the contents of the cells.
so if cell A1 contains "Hi " and the cell A2 contains "There" then A1 & A2 will result in "Hi There"
so you could add the formula
A3=A1 & A2
this is short hand for select cell A3 then type everything including the A3 so that A3 contains "=A1 & A2" (omit the double quote)
OK. So the formula I provided concatenates several items together:
it concatenates A2, then the string " is " then a formula, then the string " years old and likes the color " then a formula
the two formulas (highlighted in blue) perform a lookup of the value in cell A2 in columns A thru D of the table named "Data". If if finds the value in cell A2 in the first column of the lookup range in the table Data (column A) then it returns the value from the same row but in the second or third column.
all that is in a function calld iserror() to trap the condition where the calue you enter in A2 does not exist in the table Data:

I know on mackbooks I've seen firewire used as an input for a Weiss Dac if you're into two channel audio. Do any reiceivers take firewire as an input for hometheater? Has anyone tested Firewire outputs on their W series? I'm told that firewire is sometimes preferable to USB, I'm not sure why this would be, can USB support passthrough of DTS encoded signals?
In the case that firewire works and you Do not have a firewire source, maybe something like this would be of value It converts firewire to digital coaxial s/pdif and allows passthrough of DTS and AC3.
http://www.m-audio.com/images/global/manuals/FireWire-Audiophile_Manual.pdf
As I'm into audio the critical thing here (and what you're paying for when you purchase blue-ray, is maintaining the digital information from the disk in an unconverted form. You want a direct bit pass through, and you want as little jitter introduced to the signal as possible. You most certainly don't want the sound card getting in the way, Digtital to Analog converting and then reverse packaging it up and putting it out over the soundcard digital out. My problem is I'm not familiar enough with computer audio to know how exactly the sounds is transmitted from your blue ray drive to the digital interface you've chosen.
Anyone know why USB digital out would not be a prefered method?

Set Digital Output for Modicon 340 through Modbus Ethernet

Hello,
I used modbus Ethernet example vi and am able to read input coil status of quantity 512
If starting address is changed above 511, VI returns 6002 error.
As per below concept, how can I write to output coil
Output Coils are assigned the block 1-9999
Input Coils are assigned the block 10001-19999
Input Coils are assigned the block 10001-19999
Input Register are assigned the block 30001-39999
Output Register are assigned the block 40001-49999
I also tried sending command directly to TCP IP write like 05 00 AC FF 00 to set a coil. Still its not working.
Can anyone inform how to proceed. Any example or command structure is highly helpful
Thank you

Can you play the guitar program and also run a keyboard at the same time using seperate outputs for both?

I wanted to be able to play live on my electric guitar using mainstage and my keyboard player to use mainstage on the keyboard can this be done using the mainstage 2 on this computer? Also if this can be done can you send the keyboard output and the guitar output seperatly to be able to be in different channels in the PA system?

Short answer: YES (but you will need to carefully consider how you organise your Patches with Guitar and Keys combinations, so that you both get the correct sounds at the same time)
Spatrick79 wrote:

Yes, ideally using a multi-output audio interface. edit (with 2 outs for the guitar, and 2 for keys... you might also want another 2 pairs for monitoring)

Hi VJohnson,
You might find this discussion forum post useful.
Looks like LabVIEW does not have Manchester coding/decoding built in, but it should be do able in your VI by replacing every element with the corresponding two elements, and using double the baud rate as your clock rate.
