DAQ PCI-6034E for RTX

Hi,
Does anyone know how to read data from the DAQ PCI-6034E board using RTX ?
thanks

Hi,
I think you have to write a register level driver for the PCI-6034E to use RTX... No National Instruments driver exists for E series and RTX.
Below is a link to help you ....

Personnally, I recommend you to use new M series (similar to E series) because they are supported under RTX via NI-DAQmx Base 2.0.

Magma-box and DAQ PCI 6034E card

I had installed a magma-box (64-bit 2 Slot Series) on my laptop. And I installed NI-DAQ 7.1. Than I had plug the PCI-6034E card in the magma-box. My laptop identify the PCI-6034E daq card in the Device Manager; but with a yellow exclamation point and give the Error code 10 (Cannot start the device). The same used with the PCI-6377 card.
I have tried with the cards in the differend slots.

Hey Wim,
I am not sure what a magma-box is. I have searched all over google and I haven't been able to find one. This brings up my next question of how you are installing a PCI-6034E and PCI-6377 on the laptop. National Instruments driver does not support this and I am pretty sure the DMA on the devices wouldn't work as well. The main difference between the PCMCIA devices National Instruments sell and the PCI devices is the DMA channels. If you need to use a laptop I would recommend purchasing the DAQCards or DAQPads that can connect to USB, Firewire, or PCMCIA slots. These devices are supported on laptops. The PCI devices are designed to work on desktop computers with standard PCI busses that allow for DMA channels and ISA based interrupts.
I hope
this helps out.

Implementing a Lock In Amplifier using a PCI-6034E DAQ card

I am looking for a lock-in amplifier and have read about the Lock-in Amplifier kit provided by NI. I am wonder in is it possible to implement a solution with a PCI-6034E DAQ card instead of the 4472? And if so what would be the limitions of using the 6034 for this application?

The requirements for the Lock In Amplifier are contained within the document linked bellow. The S series can be used with the Lock In Amplifier but not the E-series.

How can I configure NI PCI 6221 and DAQ SCB-68 for pressure sensors?

Hello
everybody,
I am using the measuring board (NI PCI 6221) and DAQ
SCB-68 for the data acquisition.
With the DAQ-Assistant I created AI for the voltage of
pressure sensors. In a big indicator panel from this DAQ-Assistant I see the
voltage for both sensors in the correct size. But if I set sensors in the
blockdiagramm to control the signals for sensor one I get a wrong voltage size
and for sensor 2 nothing.
How can I configure this data acquisition equipment to
get the correct signals?
Thanks a lot for your help.

I do not know the type of sensor you are using. But pressure transducers may have a very low output voltage(in the mVolt range). They also need an excitation voltage. Here is an introduction. http://focus.ti.com.cn/cn/lit/an/sloa034/sloa034.pdfThen working with pressure sensors I always use 3 stages in the circuit.
1 Instrumentation Amplifier as a preamp
2 filterstage
3 Final amp and output buffer
(you may combine stage 2 and 3)
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Is Ardence RTX required when I use PCI-7831R with labview real-time module for RTX target

I am new in the labview real-time field. I want to use labview real-time module for RTX target on only one desktop. My card is PCI-78331R. Is Ardence RTX necessary? Why I cannot find my card in the MAX after I configured the RTX?
Thank you very much.

Hi Ziaozhongda,
You must have the RTX runtime engine installed before the LabVIEW Real-Time RTX module will install. Additionally, you should follow the instructions in the "Using the NI PCI-7831R with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module for RTX" section of Getting Started with the NI 7831R (page 8).
Please see Configuring Hardware for Use with RTX.

Calculate uncertainty of PCI-6034E

Hallo, I am trying to calculate the overall uncertainty of DAQ System, which has a PCI-6034E board and an SCXI-1102B. I know about the accuracy calculator and I am trying to check my results using this tool.
I use K thermocouples in a temperature range 30-90℃ in an ambient temperature of about 30℃, which corresponds to a input signal range 1,203mV-3,682mV.
The calculation formula is: Absolute Accuracy = +/-[(Input Voltage x % of Reading)+ Offset +System Noise +Temperature Drift]
At first I set to the accuracy calculator: DAQ device to PCI-6034E and SCXI module to none. Then I set for example 0.001203V and Average of 100 readings.The result is the following:
According to the E Series User Manual (page 38 gain+resolution PCI-6034E) Absolute Accuracy=0,001203*0,0588/100+ (28,9 +2,75)*10^-6=0,03235mV
which the same with the accuracy calculator.
I I set to the accuracy calculator: DAQ device to PCI-6034E and SCXI module SCXI-1102B, then i do not get the same results about the absolute accuracy of the DAQ device.
Accuracy Calculator:
Me: DAQ Absolute Accuracy=0,1203*0,0588/100+ (100 +5,04)*10^-6=0,175mV which I a very large number. I assume that the input value is 0,1203 because the gain of the scxi 1120b is 100.
What I am doing wrong?
Furthermore, I cannot find detailed specification about scxi-1102b in the user manual (Offset in Single Point and in average of 100 readings).
Thank you very much,
Giorgos P.

Hello Ginos,
I went over your calculations and you have calculated the accuracy correctly. The DAQ absolute accuracy at .5 to -.5 is .175mV but they have converted this value so that it has meaning to the orginal signal. The original signal acquired by the SCXI-1102B was multiplied by a gain of 100. After this gain, the signal is sent to the DAQ card to be digitized into your computer.
In order to relate this digitized signal accuracy to the original signal, they divided it by the gain given by the SCXI-1120B module. This is why there is a factor of a 100 difference between the two.

Code 10 pci 6034e

Hello,
I have a problem with my LabView and I'm running out of ideas how to fix it. In 2002 I designed a software for data aquisition based on LabView 6.1 using a PCI 6034E card. Since then everything was working fine. A few days ago I had to switch PCs.
I installed LabView 6.1 on the new PC. Afterwards I shut down the system, plugged in the 6034E and reboot the PC. Windows discovered the new hardware succesfully and installed a driver from the LabView Driver CD.
Unfortunately my device manager is telling me that the 6034E is producing a Code 10 error. Until now I have tried to install the newest driver from NI, reinstalling LabView and the drivers multiple times.
The only difference I could encounter betweed the two PCs is that the old PC is operated with Windows XP SP 2 and the new one uses SP 3.
Do you have any ideas what could cause the problem?
Best regards,
Theodor
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Tobias,
thank you for your reply. I already tried installing the DAQmx 7.0 yesterday evening. It worked fine with the PCI 6034E. Unfortunately I couldn't use my programm any more, because some sub vi are incompatible with DAQmx above verson 6.9.3.
However, I managed to solve the problem. There might have been a comflict between the PCI 6034E and the computers video card. I deaktivated the videocards PCI port in Bios and switched to on board graphics. Then I uninstalled all National Instruments software, for a fresh start. After a reboot, video card still disabled, I installed LabView 6.1 and DAQ 6.9.3. After inserting the PCI 6034E now, everything went flawlessly. Windows recognized the card and installed the drivers. According to MAX the card works fine and my programm is also running.
After this I enabled the video card again, via bios. Still everything is working fine. I can't tell you how the video card could have caused the trouble, but one should keep this in mind for the future.
Best regards,
Theodor

Combining PCI-6034E with NI-4350

I have an application requiring the measurement of 12 4-20mA signals and 8 K-type thermocouples.
My proposal is to use a PC fitted with a PCI-6034E DAQ through a TBX-68 I/O Connector Block for the current signals, and an NI-4351 Temperature Logger through a TBX-68T Connector Block for the thermocouples. Can anyone foresee any problems with such a set-up? Are there any unforeseen difficulties I should be aware of?
Control will be by LabVIEW.
I am spending someone else's money from a very tight budget, so I need to keep the cost down and to get it right the first time.
The original proposal was to use FieldPOINT gear but its temperature logging is a little slow.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Ledge,
How fast do you want the temperature logging to be that FP is too slow?

Is there a known conflect between PCI 6034E and 7344

I just installed a new PCI 6034E and now the DAC on my PC 7344 motion board seems to be putting out non-linear voltages from my position encoder. Does anyone know why?

LA 75,
Thanks for your answe,r here are mine.
1. The 7344 worked fine until I stuck the PCI 6034E in it. I have an update for you on the problem which I learned after more testing. The quaditure count on the encoder is 16384
I only need to measure -20 to 90 degree angles in my application. When I set up my DAQ channel (using a PCI 6025E which I still have in place) I calibrated based on +10 volts
out of the 7344 DAC channel (axis 3) = 90 degrees an 0 volts = 0 degrees. What's really happening is that the DAC output is now 12.4 volts and its saturating the DAQ input
channel. If I recalibrate with 0 volts = 45 degrees I can work around the problem...the thing is I don't know what caused this and what other safety implications there might be.
2. The new board (PCI 6034E) is in the last slot and the 7344 is in the first slot...in between is an ethernet card and the PCI 6025E.
3. I do not have another PC to test this thing in.

Acoustic Time of Flight Calculation with PCI-6034E

I'm trying to measure the amount of time sound takes to travel through a specific medium with Labview 7 and a PCI-6034E DAQ card. So far, I have the speaker connected to ctr0 and that generates the specific frequency that I want. I want to have the program run the sound and then stop it when I hit a button and then measure the amount of time it takes for the microphone to stop receiving the sound. I don't know how to use the analog input (from the microphone) to trigger some sort of timing device. This timing needs to be as accurate as possible. Thanks for your help.

I don't know what your fluid is, but I just looked up info on sonar which gives a propagation speed of nearly 1 mile/sec in water. That leaves you with <30 microseconds to traverse your 40 mm container.
Soooo...., I don't know if you can do your measurement with a 6034E. It's max sampling rate is 200 kHz or 5 microseconds/sample. I doubt that'll be enough resolution to reliably distinguish the varations in time-of-flight that you're after.
If you're stuck with the 6034E, you'll probably need to perform the measurement with one of its counters and then build a little external interface circuitry. There's several ways, here's one:
Use ctr0 to generate a single high pulse with a duration longer than your worst case time-of-flight. Use ctr0_out to switch on a transistor that allows your ultrasonic stimulus signal to get through to the speaker. ctr0_out should also be NAND'ed with a signal to be desribed in the next paragraph.
Run the mike signal into a comparator and let the comparator's output drive a latch. The idea is to produce a digital rising edge at the instant the mike first receives a significant signal, i.e., your stimulus. NAND this signal with ctr0_out and pass the result into ctr1_gate.
Configure ctr1 for event counting, set to count 'while gate is high'. (Under the newer DAQmx, the terminology is 'pause trigger.') Software select its source to be the internal 20 MHz timebase.
How it works:
Start ctr1 first, then ctr0. On the rising edge of ctr0's pulse, ctr1 will increment once every 50 nanoseconds (i.e., counting cycles of the 20 MHz internal clock). ctr1 will stop incrementing when the mike detects a sound level above the threshold you've set up in your circuit, driving the . The value of ctr1 multiplied by 50 nanoseconds is your time-of flight.
Then, software reset your counters, hardware reset the latch, change or manipulate your fluid, and try again.
There's very likely a simpler solution. Anyone?

Thermistor wiring in cb-68lp with PCI 6034E

I have a CB-68LP pinout board with a PCI 6034E card on a computer with XP and LabVIEW 7.0. I have been using type K thermocouples to collect temperatures in a lab and have had no problems thanks to previous help. I am now going to be moving my temperature collection out doors where I will need to run ~1000 ft of wire to reach my destination. I want to switch from thermocouples to thermistors to save money on wiring. I have done a little research on thermistors and there are still unanswered questions. I know thermocouples connect differentially but I could not find information about how thermistors connect? Since it is just measuring a change in resistance my guess was that it is single ended but I want to make sure. That is the main question, if anyone has suggestions on current excitation values or possible problems that I might expect that would be great also. Thanks

Gorman,
With NI-DAQmx and Measurement Automation Explorer there is actually a feature called connection diagram which will let you select your connection block and tell you exactly which pins you need to connect your sensor to, whether it is a thermistor or a thermocouple. You can actually set up a thermistor measurement in Measurement and Automation Explorer for current excitation and voltage excitation seperately.
For example, I created a current excitation thermistor task in Measurement and Automation Explorer running into ai0 (channel 0) and I clicked on the connection diagram tab at the bottom. Here is the diagram that I got.
As you can see, you just need to connect to pins 68 and 34.
There is also an example program that you can download, which is in LabVIEW. Here it is.
Hope all this helps.

NI-DAQ PCI-6023E nt embedded component

Hi all
I am trying to develop a KDF component for a ni-daq pci-6023e card and when
I create the registy some keys stay in the CurrentControlSet instead of
being related to ControlSet001. Can anyone help me???
Is there a solution to this problem or a different approach I can use???
Does anyone know if Nationnal Instruments have kdf file created???
Many Thanks!

Hi Rimi,
While searching for a possible solution to your question, I came across a Knowledgebase entry on our web site. Its ID is 251BSUKN. Although PCI-6023 is not specififcally included there, taking a look at it might provide you some good insight into the problem. Also in this knowledge base, you will find an attachment of the kdf files. Please do take a look at the tutorial under the related links too. To access the knowledgebase, go to ni.com/support and type this knowledgebase ID in the search box at the bottom of the page.
I hope this helps.

Can the USB NI DAQs be used for process control,eg.closed loop? or is too fast

can the USB NI DAQs be used for process control,eg.closed loop? or is too fast.

Hi mho,
1.usb is very high speed that is correct.Better you can choose PCI DAQ.But thats upto you.
2. see this:-
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/14136
3.If Matlab support TCP/IP, that could be an option.
see Another idea: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/244A37667BD7CBCE86257520007F937B
Another simplest way to do it (assuming you running Windows) is to use a Matlab script.
If both programs running on different systems:-
Most simple and slow - Create two VI's with shared variable on both machines, and use a matlab script to
share data. (this makes matlab some kind of "slave").
More advanced but still relatively slow (Create two VI's with shared variable, on the Matlab machine build the .NET
dll, and it can be used on Matlab too ( at least at 2010b version, earlier version support only COM).
Create TCP/IP connection between two comps.
There is "out of the box" NI products, that communicate with Simulink models.You please do a simple search on that...OK
I think this link is also helpful for you:-

PCI-6024E or PCI-6034E

Can I use pci-6024e or pci-6034e card to get 0.5mV~50mV
data precision 0.01mV.Can is it work?

Hi Anon...
I do not know the specs of those cards off hand, but I will explain how to figure it out yourself.
Find the range of the board that you will use for the measurement.
Divide the max value by 2^n where n=number of bits of resolution.
