Display current state (value) of analog output

Is there a way to display a live numeric value on the screen of analog voltage output.
For example: when Dev/a0 ouput is connected to an external scope, you can see the voltage on the screen. 
I would like to see this value 0 -10V as a numeric on the screen just as I can see it on the scope.  I dont need to see a trace just the current state (value) of the analog voltage ouput.

Just connect an indicator to the input of your DAQmx Write.

  • Displaying session state value in XSL-FO

    Hi
    I'm new to the area of generating PDF documents using Apache FOP with XSL-FO.
    I have an 10.2.0.3 instance with Apex4, and I would like to know how to display, for instance, the username or a page item within the report.
    This is how I'm referring to elements in my query:
    <fo:table-cell>
    <fo:block><xsl:value-of select="LIST_PRICE"/></fo:block>
    </fo:table-cell>
    But I would also like to display the value of APP_USER, or a page item - and I'm unsure of the syntax. All the XSL websites are great, but don't really help in the case of Apex variables.
    Thanks.
    ScottWe

    While I've made progress on this, I still can't see the results - even though the theory is sound.
    I was reminded that the XSL is just referring to whatever is in the XML.
    So I ensured that the report includes application and session information; I've included a hidden item on the page that is computed on entry, and I can see the (unpopulated) XML element when I download the XML.
    However when I run the report from the page, the item is still empty when I try to refer to it like this:
    <xsl:value-of select="P6_DEMO"/>
    Should I be referring to it differently?

  • Is inactive analog output will be at high impedance or cut off state?

    Hey 
    I'm using the NI 6229 analog outputs.
    I would like to know if there is a tri-state or high impedance state for those  analog output when it is not in use?

    Hello amco,
    From the description of your project, I'm envisioning two probes attached to different points along a single trace on a PCB.
    It is certainly not recommended to have two analog output lines attached to the same channel.  As you have experienced, the behavior is unpredictable.  In a worst-case-scenario, one could potentially damage the AO line that is not actively driving the channel.
    So we do need to find a configuration that makes the unusued AO channel electrically separated from the channel-under-test.  One option would be to introduce an electromechanical switch.  This will add some complexity to your setup and your code, but it will permit you to send the signal from AO-0, disconnect AO-0, connect AO-1 and send a signal from AO-1 — all in a very short amount of time.

  • Displaying Max/Min values with time for analog signals.

    I am sampling analog inputs. I simply want to display the max and min values with the time they occurred. This seems simple but I am new to LabView and can't find a Vi to do this.

    Here's the code. When you run the demo program, you'll see three traces: Green is the max so far, Red is the min so far, and White is the current signal value.
    As the input value cycles, you'll see the two limit values track its extremes. If you have any questions about how it works, just holler.

  • Combine Analog outputs for higher current drive

    I'm using a cRIO 9263 analog output module.  The current output specification is 1 mA.  If I need 1.2 mA of current, can I use two outputs in parallel?
    SteveA
    CLD
    FPGA/RT/PDA/TP/DSC

    I am not familiar with that device, but, in general when paralleling voltage output devices which were not specifically designed to be paralleled you need to include some ballast resistors. They allow for slight differences in the output voltages of the two (or more) devices and promote current sharing.
    Put one resistor in series with each output. Connect the other ends of the resistors together and connect this to the load. The value of the resistors depends on the amount of current, the voltage difference between the two outputs when given the same digital code, how much voltage drop in the resistors can be allowed, and perhaps other factors such as how fast the output must change.
    I can help with the calculations if you are not familiar with them, but I will need more information about the voltages and loads.

  • How to set Default value of a parameter  to display Current Date

    I need to display the Default value for my parameter 'As of Date' which is of datatype Date as Current Date[DD-MON-YYYY].
    How can I do This??

    As Tamir-L pointed out, there is no direct way to do this, but there is a workaround:
    First, create a new parameter, but do not base it on any item. Give the parameter a default value of "Today".
    Then, create a condition like:
       (    :myParam = 'Today'
        AND <date_item> = sysdate)
    OR (    <date_item> = to_date(:myParam, 'DD-MON-YYYY'))Where :myParam is the parameter you created, and <date_item> is the item you are comparing against.
    To make things a bit more bulletproof, you could create a calculation that returns sysdate when the parameter is 'Today', a date when the to_date is successful, and NULL when the to_date fails, and use the calculation in the condition.

  • Monitor database job-find out current statement and bind values

    Hi all,
    we have a job running on one of our databases which sometimes runs for a very long time.
    Sometimes it it is necessary to kill that job because it is blocking normal work.
    Therefore it is important to find out the current statements the job is processing in order to avoid too much trouble after killing.
    Job processing is a chain of several procedures that insert, update, delete from different tables dependant on initital user input.
    Database is 10203 on solaris 10. Job was created with dbms_job (no em job).
    Is there any way to find out the job's current statement and relevant bind values?

  • Set default analog output in MAX

    Hi,
    I would like to set a default value (e.g. 10V) to my analog output of my NI6251 card. The current value is (I assume) 0 V.
    Is there a way to change the default value without using labview?
    Many thanks

    I'm pretty sure you can't set the default analog output of a DAQ card to something other than 0V even using LabVIEW.  When the device powers up it will reset and set all outputs to an inert state which is a good thing for safety conserns.  
    I'd recommend you redesign your system so it too uses this standard of using the inert state of a startup condition.  What kind of system do you have that you want the off state to be 10V?

  • Single shot analog output: How to pulse this. Probably easy, I'm at a loss.

    Hello.
    I have a piece of machinery that my system is connected to.  Every time it reaches a proximity sensor (It's a reciprocating unit), I need to do a single pulse of 5v out of my analog output.  It has to be fast, it has to stop until the sensor is reached again, and it can't stay 'on' for long.
    I've attached my VI.  I'm using a voltage input via DAQ assistant, routed through some logic to produce a 'true' boolean every time that sensor is reached, and that boolean is connected to a case structure with voltage out tasks created in DAQmx.
    My problem is that the machine won't reverse while the case is still true and there's still the 5v being called by the true case on the case structure.  It has to pulse, then stop, then be allowed to come back when the proximity sensor is reached again.  As it is now, the machine reaches the prox and then the whole system stops, as the 'true' condition on the case structure, and subsequent voltage output, remain high.
    I've attached the VI and heirarchy as well.
    I've tried a few different things here, as well as just using a DAQ assistant with N samples, but that would just retrigger when the loop repeats anyway.
    I'd love to sit and bang my head against this til I get it, but I'm under a time constraint.  Help!
    Still confused after 8 years.

    Ralph, without knowing the exact DAQ card that you are using, it is difficult to give you the best solution. If you want to continue with the solution that you currently have, try adding a shift register to the outer while loop to track the previous value of the boolean. In this way, we can keep multiple values that are above the threshold from causing multiple pulses. Next add a time delay after the DAQmx Write, then add another DAQmx Write to set the output back to your low value. Remove all code from your "false" case. See attached VIs. Please let us know what model of DAQ card you have as we may be able to do something clever like a retriggerable pulse train if your card can support it.

  • PICe-6259 with DasyLAB 9 - How to do Analog Output

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get a small project working in DasyLAB 9.0.2 and I need some serious help.
    I'm working with a PCIe-6259 and NiDAQmx 8 is installed.  I simply want to create a program that uses a slider to adjust the analog output on 4 channels and read the slider value on a meter.  This is a fresh installation of DasyLAB.
    Here's the program that I setup and the errors that I get.
    I select:  Modules -> Input/Output -> NIDAQ -> Analog Output.
    I adjust the properties of the DAC module to include channels 0,1,2,3 and select OK.  (I don't adjust any of the other properties)
    I then select: Modules -> Control -> Slider
    I adjust the properties of the slider to include the same channels as above.
    I then select: Modules -> Display -> Analog Meter
    I adjust the properties of the meter to include the same channes.
    The meters and Analog output are wired in parallel.
    I get the following errors:
    NI-DAQmx: Error Message
    Driver: Task DA00, Version: 0.15
    Possibly Reason:
    -> The module can process the number of "values to be written".
    File: ProcessData_KONTINUIERLICH.H, Line: 39
    When I press OK I get:
    NI-DAQmx: Error Message
    Driver: Task DA00, Version: 0.15
    Possibly Reason:
    -> The driver does not use all NI-DAQmx task channel names. This is not valid, reconfigure the module to use all task channels.
    Note: A NI-DAQmx task for analog / digital / frequency output must not have more than 16 channels. If you need more than 16 channels for the output, you must use more NI-DAQmx tasks.
    File: MODUL_DA.C, Line: 2131
    Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
    The next part of my program will include acquiring data from the analog channels, but I need to get the AO working first.  I've run into some issues with Analog Input as well, but I thought I should start with AO first.
    Thanks in advance!
    Chris

    Here's what I did using the NI-DAQmx simulation mode:
        - create two tasks
                Analog Output - 4 channels, 1k output rate, 100 samples to write, Continuous
                Analog Input - 4 channels, 1k input rate, 100 samples to read, Continuous
        Save them. Start up or synchronize DASYLab (Under Measurement Boards Settings - NI-DAQmx - Synchronize with... in earlier versions, it's under Hardware Setup)
        - Create Slider. Open Slider properties, click on Options, Synchronize to the AO task that you created. This step is really important - it ensures that the data rate matches what NI-DAQmx is expecting.
        - Connect Slider to NI-DAQmx AO module, configured for 4 channels.
        - Create AI module. Connect to the AI task that you created.
        Press Start. It should run. I can't verify absolute accuracy in simulation mode, but, I received no errors.
        Your first error is probably the result of the timing being wrong - the Slider defaults to the "Driver" timebase. The rest of the errors seem to be a cascade off the first.
        Note - my simulation did not work without the Analog Input. It generated no data. That may be an artifact of the simulator, but, once I put an Analog Input on the worksheet, it ran okay.
        I hope this helps.

  • Read Data (ASCII) and send to analog output

    Hello
    I have the following MAX configuration:
    Analog input task, continous, 2 samples, rate 100Hz (PCI-6024E)
    Analog output task, continous, 64 samples, rate 100Hz (PCI-6723)
    The cards are synchronized by the RTSI bus.
    With Dasylab I display signals from load cells by the input task. A "Read Data" module sends values to the output task. The "Read Data" module has the following settings: Output in realtime, synchronisation with analog input task, file is an ASCII, block size 4 values, no ascii time channel.
    Additional settings for DAQmx are done by DasyLab:
    Analog input: Driver buffer 30
    Analog output: Driver buffer 30, output start after 2
    When I start DasyLab I get a DAQmx failure (after a couple hours): DAQmxReadAnalogF64, Attempted to read samples that are no longer available. The requested sample was previously available, but has since been overwritten.
    Could anyone please explain, how to configure analog input/output task and the DasyLab settings (Read Data)? - Attached the DasyLab diagram.
    Additional information: The application should read and display signals from a test bench (load cells). The output shall feed external controllers. The input and output signals shall be displayed on the same chart (as realtime as possible).
    Thank you

    Thanks for the prompt reply! - I have changed the settings to the following:
    Analog input task, continous, 16 samples, rate 100Hz, driver buffer 32
    Analog output task, continous, 16 samples, rate 100Hz, driver buffer 32, output start after 32
    In the "Data read" module the block size is now 16 at 100Hz
    With this setting, DasyLab runs, but only for around 12 hours.
    The following error occurs:
    "Read date module name" / The data flow is blocked by one of the following modules.
    Followed by:
    Attempted to read samples that are no longer available. The requested sample was previously available, but has since been overwritten.
    Is there something else I have to care? Could it be problematic to send signals from different modules to the same Chart Recorder module? I use DasyLab version 11.

  • How can I use two analog output channels simultaneously?

    I am using PCI6110 DAQ card. I want to run two separate VIs on one computer. Each VI output a waveform to one analog output channel. How can I do this simultaneously without interfering each other?
    Thanks

    Hi Stephen,
    This can NOT be done with two seperate VI's.
    The issue is in the hardware/driver.
    Your hardware has a clock that controls how fast updates to the AO occur. That clock can only have one value at a time. I will let your contemplate the complications that come up with two different clock settings being active at the same time (see below).
    So how do you work around this complication?
    You will have to develop a single VI that OWNs both output channels. That VI will have to accept start,stop,configure, etc commands from the two clients (what you will have to convert your existing VI's into). If you decide to place a restriction on the services you provide to the clients along the line of "only one sample rate at a time" you will be making your li
    fe much easier.
    If I was contracted by a customer to do what you have asked, I would try to combine the two existing VI's into one or simply buy a second 6110 and avoid all of the hassles. Both of these approaches would end up saving the customer money in the long run while freeing them of any restrictions that where established in order to develop the "server".
    I hope this helps,
