DAQPad 6015 freezes with LabView

Hi all,
I'm using DAQPad 6015 with LabVIEW 2011 (with Windows 7) for a 6-channel capacitive measurement setup. The DAQ assistant is configured as given below:
7 channels (AI0-AI6), NRSE mode (AISENSE shorted with AIGND)
Sampling rate: 10k
No of samples: 2k
'Continous Samples' mode
The VI works fine, acquires data as usual. However, after RUNNING and ABORTING execution for a couple of times (number of time varies), when I Run the code again, the Execution freezes. The DAQ Assistant does not give out data, keeps waiting for the DAQPad to respond. 
The only option then is to close Labview and on doing so  it shows " Resetting MuscleVI" (Muscle VI being the name of my VI) and does stops responding. 
On forcibly closing LabVIEW by ending the LabVIEW process from task manager and then restarting it, the device is no longer recognized (unless system is restarted).
Stuff that I have tried:
Switched to LabVIEW 2009
Ran a simple code 
Switched to a different PC (with WinXp SP3)
Nothing worked....Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot. 

I am debugging the code at present, so  as you correctly mentioned I am "ABORTING" the VI using the ABORT button. Please find the code attached. It has a number of SubVIs, which I have not attached.
The code that I have attached is slightly complicated, however, I'd like to reiterate that the problem persists even with very simple VIs (DAQ Assistant and graph indicator only).

  • Why is my daqpad 6015 pulling down my digital inputs?

    I have a daqpad 6015 configured with all digital inputs. The input impedance appears way too low. It pulls down my signals to about a volt from 5V. I know the impedance is supposed to be 'high', the manual is very vague on this subject. Could the board be damaged? Analog I/O is functioning perfectly??? 5V is right where it should be...
    Help?

    Hello Wave_Man. Thank you for contacting National Instruments. The high impedance talked about in the manual is referring to the impedance on the input of the board, not the signal being input into it. A small impedance is actually preferred. What I think is happening is that your ground on your signal is different than your ground on you daqpad. When you connect them you should see 5 V. Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day!

  • Trying to reset a DAQPAd-6015 with DAQmx

    I'm usaign DAQmx to program a DAQPad-6015. I want to reset the device to avoid problems when my measure aborts before stoping the NI mesuring task.
    If I try to create a task that already exists in DAQ I get an erroc Code -200089 (can't create task because it exists) but I can reset the device, load the existing task or do anything.
    Can someone help

    Your post is extremely vague. With more details, maybe someone can help. Are you getting an error from Device Reset? Why do you want to call Device Reset anyway? If you get an error during a task, you should just clear the task, and then re-create the task. Or better yet, just stop the task and re-start it.

  • Is it possible to view VIs remotely on windows 7 if VI was built with LabView 8.2?

    So I know i'm probably dealing with software compatibility issues here, BUT, I wanted to make sure every option was exhausted before considering the idea of upgrades.  
    Im using LabView full development system 8.2 on windows XP 32bit os.  Currently, I run into no issues when controling or building VIs on my computer.  Problems do occur when trying to control VIs on a remote computer with windows 7. That computer has run-time 8.2.1 installed on it.  For the most part it works best to just view the VIs, and not interact or control too much.  More specifically, the VI will freeze once interacting with a control that is intended to pop up a two button dialogue box.  I'm sure there are a lot more issues with using run-time 8.2.1 on a windows 7 computer; that one in particular is just the only one i've experienced.  
    In all efforts to avoid what could eventually be an unavoidable situation where an upgrade is necessary, is there a way to remotely control (on windows 7) a VI front panel that was built with labview 8.2?

    Thank you for the response.  Just to preface, I am fairly new to LabView so pardon my potentially "stupid" questions.  Here's my process in a nut shell:  VI programs are created on our server computer and then published for web with the "web publishing tool...".  The html page created is then put on a main page with all other created VIs and are then viewed on other computers that are part of the network via ip address.  
    I was under the impression the LabView run-time engine enabled remote computers to view and control these VIs.  Could be wrong?  After downloading and installing run-time 8.2.1 (since vi's were created with labview 8.2), those computers are able to enter the ip address and navigate to the main page to control the web published vi's.  The issue is with the computer that has windows 7.  I know run-time 8.2.1 isn't necessarily compatible with windows 7, but it does seem to run the vi on a pretty minimal level.  I run into problems on that computer when hitting particular controls that are wired to be more complex than just a simple boolean.
    Just to provide a visual, I attached an image of one of the scenarios where it will freeze up on the windows 7 computer.  This is how the VI should normally function; however, before the dialogue box even pops up after clicking a valve control, it freezes.  
    I didn't even consider VNC or Remote Desktop up to this point.  Thank you for that idea.  I'll definitely look into that as an alternative.

  • Exactly what is input power for DAQPad-6015?

    If we include the DAQPad-6015 in our system, what power do we connect it to? Using what type of cable or connector?

    Hello Jack,
    From the User Manual and Specifications, the power requirement is 9-25 V, 12W.   Out of curiosity, did your unit not come with a power supply, or are you making your own? 
    See the attached picture for dimensional information of the power plug for the unit.  Unfortunately, I do not have any part numbers for that plug.
    Hope this helps,
    Laura

  • Connecting an external digital trigger to a DAQPad 6015

    Hi. Im trying to externally trigger a series of concentration probes that I have connected through the DAQPad 6015 and on to LabView.
    I do not have any external ports on my DAQ device for receiving a trigger signal and so I am trying to connect it through the screw ports that are available.
    However, I have never done anything like this before and have come a little unstuck.
    I just want the probes to start acquiring information once they receive a 5V rising edge signal from an external piston.
    Any help that you could give me regarding connecting the system up, would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Nial

    Hi Neil,
    You need to setup triggering in your LabVIEW application and then use the trigger line you have setup in your application to wire in the trigger signal. We usually use PFI0, Attached is an example program that reads in 5 voltages from a DAQpad-6015 on Dev4 and then triggers on PFI0 on a rising digital edge.
    To find the pinout of the 6015, you need to go to MAX >> Devices and interfaces >> NI-DAQmx >> DAQpad 6015
    Right-click select Device Pinouts.
    Hope this helps

  • Looking for a way to get my Product ID and Vendor ID so I can enable my Radium 49 USB MIDI keyboard to work with Labview 7

    Looking for the Product ID and Vendor ID for my Radium 49 USB MIDI keyboard to work with Labview 7
    Is there a tool to find out the Vendor ID and Product ID for a USB device?
    Example: of what I'm looking for
    The Product ID for National Instruments DAQPad-6020E is 0x12C0. The
    USB vendor ID is 0x3923. This is a 16-bit hexadecimal number(1093)
    (that is decimal 4243).
    Thanks for all the fast responses this newsgroup RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!

    How To Find The Vendor and Product ID for USB Devices?
    Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-VISA
    Primary Software Version: 3.3.1
    Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
    Secondary Software: N/A
    Problem:
    I want to make an NI-VISA driver that requires the vendor and product ID?
    Solution:
    There is a utility called USBView,
    free from Windows, attached below, which you can use to view what is
    connected to your computer's USB ports. It is necessary to load this
    program and connect the USB device in development. Upon selecting the
    device in USBView, one can then look on the right side of the
    application window to obtain the Product ID and Vendor ID. This will
    allow you to enter in the correct IDs when creating a driver .inf file
    when using the VISA Driver Development Wizard. For more information
    about how to use the VISA Driver Development Wizard see the related
    links below.
    Note: It is necessary to keep the hexadecimal
    (0x####) format. Do not remove the "0x" hexadecimal format preceding
    the ID number. 

  • Question about NI DAQPad 6015

    Hi all,
    I have a doubt regarding the possibility of using the NI DAQPad 6015 to get the data from a flow meter that sends the info as an AC voltage pulse. Basically, this is not my area of expertise and I am trying to sort out as much as I can with my limited knowledge. I do not possess the manual for the DAQ and since I inherited it from a previous researcher I am trying to find out if I need a new piece of hardware or I can make the current configuration work.
    Thanks.

    Hello Yankeeve,
    Yes you can do any analog measurement with your NI DAQPad 6015 as long as it is withing range of the analog channels. You can get extra info on these links.

  • VB support for NI DAQPad 6015

    I just purchased NI DAQPad 6015 as well as the Enterprise version of Measurement Studio. Was anticipating using Visual Basic to write some quick and easy programs for the 6015. But it seems as if there is not Traditional NI-DAQ support of the 6015 required for VB, just NI-DAQmx!!! I found this after several days of trying to get the 6015 to work with VB. Is there a new driver or something that allows me to use VB with this product?

    Check out this post here. Let me know if you have anymore questions on this.
    We know this is a current deficiency and we are hoping to make programming DAQmx in VB 6.0 much easier in the future versions of DAQmx.

  • Synchronize PCMCIA-CAN/2 and USB-DAQPAD-6015

    Hi,
    I would like to know if is it possible to synchronize data from a PCMCIA-CAN/2 and a USB-DAQPAD-6015 like using two PCMCIA cards with RTSI bus.
    Tx for your answers.

    Hi christophe14,
    it's no problem to synchronize a Series 2 PCMCIA-CAN/2 card and a USB-DAQPAD-6015. However, you might want to take a look at this this KnowledgeBase article.
    Similar to using a PCMCIA-CAN and a DAQcard, you would need to use the PCMCIA-CAN Synchronization Cable to connect the PCMCIA-CAN card to the 68-pin connector of the USB-DAQPAD.

  • Wiring a pressure transmitter into a NI DAQPad-6015

    I need to wire a pressure transmitter (a two wire one) into a NI DAQPad-6015, and then use this pressure transmitter to record pressures in a pipeline.  How do I wire the transmitter into the data logger?  From there, how do I actually log the data?

    Hi Andrea,
    I looked at this Pressure Transmitter
    it seems to be a WIKA S-10, I’m not familiar with how a pressure transducer
    works but something that I can tell you from the spec sheet is that: seems that
    you can have different versions of the sensor 2 wire, 3 wire and current or
    voltage output, I would suggest connecting your sensor in a voltage mode since
    the other way you will have to add a shunt resistor.
    Most of the time those sensor have three wires, red, black
    and white, you will set your connection for differential where red goes to AI+,
    black to AI- and white to AI GND and taking into account that white is the
    ground. As long as you output does not exceed what we spec -/+ 10 volts, 6015

    Hi Guddan,
    I created a RFC having a query which is taking a long time to execute. So i want to close RFC connection with portals which is via java connector(JCO) before that query and open the connction again after that query.
    I guess i will need to understand your requirement a little more in detail, as i understand you have an RFC which has a query within to fetch some data and is taking a long time to do so. In the meantime you don't want to keep the connection open?
    My question would be, Is the role of this RFC to only execute the query and fetch the data or does it do something else?
    If it does other things and these are independent of the query execution, then you can span a parallel call within the RFC to execute the query and in the meantime the RFC does the other things (or vice versa) hence reducing the overall time taken.
    If the sole purpose of this RFC is to execute the query, then you will not be able(i mean to say there is no simple and direct way of doing this) to close the connection after the Query is started and re-establish the connection after its execution, for a simple reason that - how will you know if the query has completed it's execution, so that you can establish the connection back.
    Alternate solutions, make this a two way asynchronous call, 1) You invoke the RFC asynchronously and close the connection, the RFC in turn will execute the query and transfer the data to JCO via another RFC call.
    If this needs to be a synchronous call, then you will need to optimize the query to its best.

    Chen

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If your profile info is up to date, you probably have a 2006 or 2007 MacBook with a CoreDuo or Core2Duo.
    It probably came with 512MB or 1GB RAM memory and a 60, 80, or 120GB hard drive.
    You're still running OS X Tiger, 10.4.
    Your DVD drive may be dirty or wearing out.
    For specifics about your computer, click on the  Apple Logo in the menu bar, then About This Mac, and More Info... to find details.)
    You may be running short of hard disk space. You should have at least 10% free, or 10 to 15GB free for best performance. Less than that, and your hard disk is spending lots of time searching for places to store data.
    Complex web pages and sites like Facebook and Twitter, and pages using Adobe Flash, and high-bandwidth applications like video streaming from NetFlix can all cause your computer to run slowly, and the fan to run at high speed, because the processor is working hard. Conversely, email is not terribly resource-intensive, and probably still works pretty well.
    Several things can each provide a small performance increase (listed in no particular order):
    Adding more RAM memory. Upgrade to 2Gb to give your programs a bit of 'breathing room', especially if you are running more than one program at a time.
    Erasing the hard drive and reinstalling the current operating system and programs from scratch. This erases all your existing programs and data. Unless you have backups and program discs, you lose everything currently stored on it.
    Installing a higher capacity, faster hard disk, say 250GB or 320GB will give your programs and data more space, and perhaps faster access if you replace the factory 5400rpm drive with a 7200 rpm drive. If your current hard disk is nearly full (less than 10% free space), the drive has to 'thrash' to free space to store information. 
    Upgrading the operating system to OS X 10.5 Leopard or OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Both are discontinued OS X versions, still available to order directly from Apple, but not likely found on a store shelf any longer. An upgrade to OS X 10.7 Lion might not be possible for your MacBook (details here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/), and Lion would likely cause a further slowdown, because honestly, Lion is optimized for newer, faster dual-core or quad-core computers with fast video chipsets and 4GB or more of RAM.
    A faster internet connection, for example: I switched internet providers to get a 3.0Mb DSL connection (up from a 512Mb connection) for an extra $10 per month, and saw downloads and internet browsing speeds increase dramatically.  With the slower connection, it was not possible to watch video.
    Will all of these upgrades together get you close to the performance of the latest MacBook Air or MacBook Pros? NO!
    Ultimately, you have a 4- or 5-year-old computer, and spending up to several hundred dollars for upgrades might not be a worthwhile investment for you, versus applying that much money toward the cost of a new(er) Mac, and perhaps passing your MacBook on to a friend, child, or grandchild who needs mainly email capability.
    If a brand new Apple is not in the budget, consider a refurbished Mac from the Apple Store online. These are reliable computers from 'last year's models' and have the same 1-year Applecare warranty as a brand new model, and often sell at a discount of 10 to 30 percent of the price when the model was introduced.
    I'm using a mid-2007 MacBook, purchased as a refurb from Apple in late 2007. It came with 1GB RAM, a 120GB 5400 rpm hard drive, and OS X 10.4 Tiger. Over the years, I've upgraded it twice. Firs to 2GB, then to 4GB RAM, to a 320GB drive, then to a 500GB 7200 rpm hard drive, and to OS X 10.5 Leopard, and then to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Rather than one more round of upgrades to OS X 10.7 Lion, I'm saving for a newer MacBook Pro or MacBook Air at some time in the future.

  • How can I create a scene and move 3D models in INSIGHT with Labview?

    Hi!
    I need some help in doing a LabView application. What i have to do is controlling a 3D model represented in Insight with Labview. Something similar like the six-axis-robot example. I follow the insight configuration wizard, but nothing moves. Comparing the ".cis" files in my program and the one from the six-axis-robot, i found that in the six-axis-robot file contains something called localsystem and the one made by me, doesn't. Can be this the problem? How can I make it work? I would need some kind of step-by-step response, because i'am a beginner with Insight and 3D models. Thanks in advance!
    Regards!
    Juan

    Thanks for the advice!
    I'm actually finding the next problem. Although in my VRML file the objects are defined separately in a jerarchy tree, I can't move(rotate, translate) each object individually. I have noticed that when i define a new local system and asign it the points of the object i want move in the way you explain (right click, and then dragging the points to the new local axis), the movement of this object is dependent of the other local systems i have defined for other objects , specially if the slave  nodes of the .cis file has a lower numeration than the object i want to move. The fact is, the movements assigned , for example to the nodes 1 to 100, will affect to the rest of the nodes if i also define for the rest of the nodes other movements. How can i solve this? I send you my .cis file, just in case my explanation is not enough clear. In this file you can see that movements assigned to nodes 1 to 4078, will also affect to nodes 4079 to 7168, and what i would like to do is define a movement for each obeject independently.
    Thanks again!
