DAQ Problem

Hallo everyone
I have a problem, I try to provide a task in order to mesure the Voltage with the help of the DAQ-Card.
normally under the list " Supported one physical channels" should indicate the available channel of all existing DAQ-Card.
however it is not the case with me , it is written : " No Support devices found ".
Although i installed the drivers 2 times and the Test Panel of DMM ( PXI-4065) and of DC power supply (PXI-4110)are working.
Would u plz tell me what should i do , and where is the problem
P.S : it is my second week that i am working with LV

PXI-4065 and PXI-4110 are not DAQ card
use "help>>Find examples" and select your hardware (see PNG)

Need help with daq problem

Hi,
I need to generate a clock with a period of 20 micro seconds, duty cycle of
approx 20% and a data line as well as an address line all linked to the clock
pulse.
I have tried many different solutions, all using the Daq PCI-1200 but nothing
seems to work correctly. Usually the system bombs and I have to do a manual
reset to over come the problem.
Any suggestions?
Ken

You'll need an external clock, expecially under Windows.
Windows ticks with appr. 18 Hz, and the CPU tick isn't always available
when Windows tasks multi.

Pressure Profile System - (ConTacts C500) - DAQ problem

I am working with a new system that my team has had for a while - a C500 ConTacts system from PPS. First off, I am hooking the system up to a SC-2043 SG board. The ConTacts system has a +12, ground, and out wire terminal. I hooked the +12 to the + Ex channel, the ground is grounded, and then the out channel to the +Ch on the SC board. When I run my program, or the test panels, all I get is a value that is what my voltage is set at.
Has anyone used this type of system? It seems to be that I have a simple connection problem, but can't solve it. I've used tons of strain gauges with my DAQ board and Labview, but can't get this thing to work. Any help? I hook it up in the same manner, but nothing. I've tried a lot of stuff to no avail, so any help would be awesome.
Secondly, the ConTacts system has a non-linear pressure profile. I want to incorporate the Excel calibration file that came with the system so that it will display the actual force. Best way to do this? Can't seem to find any good examples. Basically it would be a look up table where it records "x", then goes to the excel file to find the right curve, and then plot out "y". Is the best way to best fit the curve in excel and then just use Labview to plug in the equation? any help is also appreciated here...

Hello,
What Data Acquistion board are you using with the SC-2043 board? Is your strain gauge full, half, or quarter? One thing I noticed is there is no connection to CH-, so if you wire that to ground do you see any changes? By -1, do you mean it is railing at -1V?

DAQ problem reading data

I just instaled the PCI board together with the CA-1000
Connector Accessory Encloser. The test panel works, so I know that the device is installed. But when I connect a signal to the port on the CA-1000, I don't see
the signal appearing on the test panel display. I just
see a signal that is constant,
with a little variation.
By the way, I also have the PCI-GPIB card installed.
Thanks! Matt

Chuck;
The problem there is most likely due to a bad connection somewhere.
My suggestion to you is to cross check the connection you made with the Users Manual of the CA-1000 and DAQ board to confirm you done everything accordinly.
If that is not the case, the CA-1000 is probably damaged.

DAQ problem on Version 8.5 doesn't work, it freezes up!!

Can anyone help me please?
I need to get daq assistant and a signal generator from the block diagram for a new VI, but found everytime I put it in place and try building the VI the whole labview development suit freeze up and I had to shutdown labview by task manager.
I can bring the daq assistant and the signal generator icons from the measurement I/O from the function palate. But, when the setup window launches it just freeze up and halts, can't do anything more. Did anyone else had the same problem?
I have labview 8.5 and my operating system is Win 7 pro with XP virtual mode instaled. I have already done some works on this version 8.5, but DAQ not seems to work on it, installed it not too long ago. can anyone help please? Thanks in advance.

LabVIEW 8.5 supports up to DAQmx version 9.3. I would definitely reccomend installing this version if you can.
There's a great little KB here I can reccomend:

DAQ Problem when migrating to LV8.0

Hallo,
I have a piece of code which was originally written with LV7.1.1. It deals
with a NI6289PCI card. This code has been verified. Now I've migrated from
LV7.1.1 to LV8.0 and trying to load this code returns an error. A VI called
"Get Terminal name with device prefix.vi" was not found. As I can remember
these were from the TraditionalDAQ palette.
This vi takes and returns a task reference and it takes a string which is
"ao/StartTrigger" and "ao/SampleClock". Finally it returns a DAQmx
reference of something that is wired to the source inputs of DAQmxTiming
and DAQmxTrigger.
How can I get the functionality of this missing VI with modern DAQmx means.
I know that it has to do with synchronizing clocks and waiting for a
trigger.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Oliver Friedrich
My email has no x!

When you installed 8.0 did you install new drivers as well. If you did not i would install the traditional daq drivers and make sure that they can be used for 8.0. This goes for DAQmx as well. make sure when you open LV8.0 that these functions are available in the measurement I/O pallette if they are not then they need to be installed then your problem should go away.

DAQ problem in this specific VI

The purpose of this program is to drive a piston to cause a pulsitile flow in a pressure loop. The waveform graph is there to collect flow and pressure data from 5 sources. The DAQ assist will not collect data in the program (Working Strain Gage) but will collect it individually if the while loop containing it is copy-pasted into a new VI. I have tried everything and have no clue what it could be. I attached the VI and the subVIs included in it. Thanks!

Well, I am not really sure what the logic is doing. The code is very confused. Stop using sequence structures. Use data dependencies to establish order of execution. Also stop using the express VIs and the dynamic datatypes.
One problem is that in the event structure, when some button is pressed, a VI is called that in order for it to complete you have to click som buttons on its front panel. The problem is that this VI's front panel isn't open so you can click on anything. Beyong that I really can't tell what is going on.
In your top-level VI you already have an event structure -- so use it as the basic for your application. You need to spend some time learning about how LV and, specifically, dataflow works.

DAQ problems..... error 50103

am have a problem with my vi.I have a main vi that can select different vi's through a subpanel, also on the main vi is indicator for a power supply and one for a load cell if these go under the rquired level or above a weight they stop.
The problem is that when I select one of the operations calibrate and read height ( see attached library ) the DAC has a error which I dont know how to fix. the error is 50103 which occured at DAQmx Read (Analog 1d wfm Nchan Nsamp).vi or at DAQmx Start task.vi which is in the DAC assistant front panel when you open it. It is in the library attached the main.vi is viewer open that and run it and ye will see
ye might have to put a constant for the load cell and battery to stop them for stopping it
I am using DAQ PCI-6040e

Your DAQ Assistant task is continuous. Yet, you only read data once. So it would appear that a finite task would be better. I'm pretty sure that you get this error the second time you run this sub-vi because the task, started the first time you ran it, is still running. That's why you get the resource reserved error.

Mac G4 OSX DAQ problems

I am attempting to run LabVIEW 7.0 on a mac G4 with OSX (10.3). I downloaded the newest NI-DAQ driver DAQmx 1.4 and installed it. I have a PCI-6025E board installed in the machine.
NI-DAQmx Base Config recognizes the PCI board and allows me to configure it.
If I attempt to run in the Classic environment,the NI-DAQ Configuration Utility does not recognize the board. I cannot therefore configure and use channels.

Why are you trying to run under the classic environment? LabVIEW 7 is an OS X app, and I believe the same is true for the new DAQmx drivers. It does not surprise me that you would have problems communicating with hardware between OS X and the classic environment as hardware is abstracted from the "TrueBlueEnvironment". You would need a classic version of the DAQmx drivers. Do you have any trouble accessing your hardware from the native environment?

Daq problems voltage ramping

Im using SCB-68 with a PCI-6221 DAQ Card. Im capturing data from an analog input 2 and its just two AA batteries 3vDC. When i let MAX run and open a test pannel for input 2 after about 15 mins the voltage graph jumps to 10.6 volts and remains there. I have no other programs running, and its just the test pannel window. I calibrated and retested and it does the same thing. Whats going on, so confused

Hi!
Seems that there is something wrong with your terminal configuration. I would suggest to use RSE or NSRE (Task configuration) and also use bias-resistors from the signal lines to the ground. You will find more information about this within the MAX help!

DAQ Problems!

Ok so I have a Land & Sea analog to digital converter for a bunch of temperature and pressure sensors. I cannot seem to get LabView to accept this hardware. We tried installing drivers and all kinds of other things. Someone in our group thought it might be a problem with the USB port (meaning LabView just doesn't like it). Do we need to try a different connection other than USB, or do we need a NI converter? Any responses would be greatly appreciated!!

What do you mean by "getting LabVIEW to accept it"? Do you mean having it show up in MAX has a device? Generally third party devices aren't going to do that.
What does the manual for the device say about how to communicate with it? How does it show up in Windows device manager? What drivers and "all kinds of other things" did you actually install and where did you get them from.
Do you have a manual or a link to the actual device you are using?

Simple DAQ problem

Dear Sirs/Madams,
I'm trying to take N voltage readings from a single channel on a BNC aquisition board/PCI-6251 (multiple channels will be later) - and I get some kind of error message which I don't understand. The code and error message are attached.
Thank you for your help.

Hello Raff,
The problem is that you have a 'Clear Task' function in the for loop. This means that the second time the loop iterates, the Task reference you have specified as a tunnel on the left hand side is no longer valid.
Just move this 'Clear Task' function to outside the for loop, and this should solve the problem.
Putting all the code in the for loop will make it work, but will give extra unnecessary overhead.
I hope this helps

DAQ Problem CLAD

7)
How does changing a DAQ board from a 0-10 volt range to a -10 to 10 volt range,
affect the minimum voltage change that can be detected?
A   The minimum voltage change that can be
detected will be doubled.
B   The minimum voltage change that can be
detected will be split in half.
C   The minimum voltage change that can be
detected will depend inversely with the resolution of the board.
D   There will be no effect on the minimum
voltage change that can be detected
Please explain me about this!!!!!!!!
ASAP

Hi Prashant,
The minimum voltage change is givein in bits. For example, let's use minimum voltage change=16bit. That means you have 16 bits, 65531 of unique digital number, to represent all voltage in a given range (see below concerning how I calculated it). To find out what is the minimum voltage change, you take the voltage range, if it is -10 to 10V, the range is 20, and divide it by 65531 (20/6531). As you can see, if the range is direction proportional to the minimum voltage change, if if range double, the other one will double as well.
Answer: A
2^0+2^1+2^2+2^2+2^4+2^5+2^6+2^7+2^8+2^9+2^10+2^11+2^12+2^13+2^14+2^15 = 65531
Kudos and Accepted as Solution are welcome!

NI-DAQ Administrator rights problem

I've got a VB6 program using a PCI-6024E board with Ni-DAQ 7.2 under Windows 2000
The program works fine when I log in as Administrator, but when I log in under a user account I get a "Runtime Error 10459 Configuring Channels. The NI-DAQ DLL could not be called due to an interface error."
I also cannot run the NI-DAQ test panels under the user account.
I can't install the NI-DAQ driver under the user account as it's needs admin rights!
Anyone know how to allow an application to run under a user account?
Obviously I don't want the operators to log in as administrator.
Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,
There are a couple of forum postings dealing with this same issue.

Both seem to provide the following steps as a possible solution.
"Complete the following steps to set up permission for the MAX\Data directory:
1) Browse to the C:\Program Files\National Instruments directory.
2) Right-click the MAX folder and select Properties.
3) Click the Security tab, and click the Add button. Type in the user name and click OK.
4) Give the user Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read permissions.
5) Click Apply and then OK."
That should resolve any DAQ problems you're having with user accounts. Please let me know if you have any more problems with this.

About "Write LabVIEW Measurement File" Expres vi. I got problems with ENABLE function

It is a traditional DAQ problem. I acquire some data and I want to write it on file only if voltage value is greater than a constant value (I used "Comparison" Express vi to do comparison). This mean that enable must depend on the result of comparison. I dont want to write unuseful data. What happens is that if the last scan is greater than the threshold, all data is written; if the last scan is smaller, all data is not written.No matter if intermediate scan result is zero or one.

There may be a bug in the comparison VI. I experimented with simple waveforms (0,0,1,0,0) and (0,0,1,0,0,1). I used the greater than with a cut off of .5. I also set the VI to output one answer for the entire sample.
I saw that the VI outputed 0 for both data sets. When I used the property page to invert the input, both sets outputed 1. I believe that if you just inverted the output of the comparison VI, you will be fine.
