Generating a tri state waveform pattern and writing into DAQ card

Hi,
I am using LV8.0 and NI-6259 DAQ card.
I want to generate a waveform pattern which initially goes to +5v and goes to 0v and then again goes to -5v
and finally goes to 0v.
I have used the waveform pattern generator and have generated 4 kinds of waveform with some particular samples
and I will be appending all the 4 waveform patterns(+5, 0, -5, 0) and the appended waveform will be written into DAQ card.
The problem is:
When I probe CRO at the Analog output pin of the DAQ card, the pin level will be always at +5v and sometimes
it goes to 0 and back to +5v. But I am expecting a waveform with 3 voltage levels i.e.., +5( some 100 samples), 0v(for some 1000 samples.
-5v(same as +5v) and 0v( 2000 samples).
How to get this kind of waveforms in NI-6259 DAQ(M Series) card.
Please find the attached VI which I have created.
Letme know the loophole in the VI and correct way of generating a tristate waveform.
Thanx in advance,
Yogesh

Hello YogeshaYS,
Thanks for your post!
I see that you are wanting to output a waveform that goes from 5 to 0 to -5 and then back to 0. It looks like from your code that you want to do this in a continuous fashion? If this is so you will need a while loop to output the waveform. Take a look at one of our shipping examples that shows how to do analog output waveform. Go to Help >> Find Examples. When here go to Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx >> Voltage >> Cont Gen Voltage Wfm-Int Clk.vi. Your VI works great but it only does the output once so that may be why you see some interesting results on your output. Let me know if any of this information helps you with your program. I was able to run it in a continuous mode and see the voltage levels go from 5 to 0 to -5 just like you were wanting. Have a great day YogeshaYS and please reply if you have any other questions on this.
Cheers!

Problem in reading no. of files and writing into a single file

Hi,
Iam with Problem in reading no. of files and writing into a single file....
Iam reading no. of files stored in local directory.......

First of all, use [code]-tags to make your code readable, please.
I didn't do a complete inspection of your code (because it's too much and unreadable as it is) and I don't know POI, but creating a new HSSFWorkbook for each input file sounds fishy to me ... try re-using the workbook and just creating a new sheet in each iteration.

nce of nth triggering pulse. i need to know when the when the ist trigger occurs and when the nth trigger occurs . please tell me how to to . what i know is that event triggering has to be done with start and stop trigger. please tell me how it has to doneSuresh;
What you will need to do is to set up a digital start and stop triggered Analog Input acquisition. Then you will need to have a counter set as event counter, having the specific number of pulses you need configured as the preset value, configured to count down, and generating a pulse after the terminal count has been reached. That counter output will be the stop trigger of the Analog Input operation. In summary, you will have the external pulse being both the digital trigger of the Analog Input operation and the source pin of the counter, and the counter output being the digital stop signal for the analog input.
I'm attaching a Labview VI that does the start and stop analog input acquisition. You will need to include the counter part and set the stop s
ignal to be the counter output.
Hope this helps.

Which type of ADC is used in M Series, S Series and C Series DAQ Cards?

Hi
I want to know which type of Analog to digital converters(ADC) are used in M Series and S Series DAQ Cards. I know that DSA Cards and some C series are using Delta Sigma ADC. What about the ADC used in non delta sigma C Series modules. Why Delta sigma ADC is not used in M series and S series DAQ cards.
Regards
Samuel J

Hi Samuel.
The ADC type used is Succesive Approximation ADC. You can refer to the following links for your reference.

Sampling waveform values and writing corresponding time values

I am sampling the frequency of a generator set using a 1126 module. The frequency values I am getting are approximately 60 Hz.
I am sampling at 150 samples per second and using the Index Waveform Array function to peel off the frequency waveform. Then I am running that waveform wire (brown) through a Get Waveform components function to seperate the t0, dt, and y components. I am taking the oranage wire from the Y portion to write those values to a spreadsheet file. Then I want to build an array of the frequency values and the time values and write that to file (transposing the array if need be).
I want one column to be the frequency values and the second column to be the correspond
ing time values for each of those data points. For example, starting at t=0:
Frequency (Hz) Time (s)
60.0 0
60.1 0.0066666
59.9 0.0133333
60.2 0.0200000
60.1 0.0266666
|
|
| end of first second
|
V
60.5 0.9866666
60.1 0.9933333
60.0 1.0000000
59.7 1.0066666
The time interval increments by 1/150 of a second each time a sample is taken (150 times per second).
I tried to use the Get Waveform Time Array function, but that returned a 10 digit number that did not appear to be related to the time in seconds.
Can someone please advise me on how I can get the corresponding time values in seconds for waveform data points in the situation described above? Thanks!

Since you are aquiring at a constant sample time, you could try using the ramp pattern to generate the time column.
I attach a sample VI in which I generate the ramp starting from waveform characteristics and then create the 2d array to save to disk with Write to Spreadsheet File.vi.
Hope this helps

Controling heating/cooling element with labview and usb 6008 DAQ card

Greetings All
I'm looking for a heating/cooling type of element that I can control with labview and my usb-6008 card. Heating/Cooling will just be for clean water and the temperture range will be from 0 C to 100 degree C.
Thanks
The heating and cooling elements can be seperate products. Any recommendations

A simple kettle element will of course be sufficient for upto 100°C
To get the temperature down you need a cooling system, what springs readily to mind of course is a refrigerator.
Just a note of warning, water and electricity are dangerous bed fellows.
On that note perhaps one of those vortex air units would be safer - they blow hot in one direction and cold in the other, nominally to 100°C

Difference between simple DAQ card and FPGA based DAQ card(like PCI 7831R)

Could any one tell me, where should i use simple DAQ card and where should i use FPGA based DAQ card ? if i can take data acquisition from simple DAQ card then why we go to the FPGA based DAQ cards(like PCI 7831R) ?

Hello,
The choice of card depends on the application that you develop. For example, you’d better use FPGA if you need a perfect synchronization of several acquisition chains as FPGA matrix will adapt in the way that your channels will be separated and will no use common resources. Another example of FPGA application can be acquisition of several chains of the data that demands very high sampling frequency (FPGA internal frequency can be up to 400MHz).
When using FPGA you have to program signal acquisition “from the beginning”, I mean that there are no standard tasks as, for example, “counting edges”. But due to this you can modify standard tasks of DAQ acquisition if you need it.

Compiled EXE and installer w/ DAQ card?

I created a specialized data logging VI and compiled the application. I also created an installer so I could install it on another computer. I included runtime and DaqMX w/ the installer. When I installed it on the other computer, in MAX I can see the daq card, but in the program all the inputs from the card show up as zeros. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Should I be using MAX tasks and scales instead of project tasks and scales?

Hi Zorro,
There should be no problem in using the tasks and scales that you originally saved in your project. Do you have multiple DAQ boards in this system, such that the board you are intending to use now has a different device name in MAX? For example, the card could now be displayed in MAX as Dev2 when you originally programmed it with a device name of Dev1. Also, if you open up test panels within MAX for your device do you still get 0V readings on all of the input channels in question?

Hi Experts,
Could you please let me know how to achieve below scenario.
1)     File Directory: TEMP: files: test1,test2,ign1,ign2..etc.
2)     Get the files of pattern test*
3)     Received files test1, test2.
4)     Club contents of file Hemanth1, Hemanth2.
Ex: test1 contains------REC1
      test2 contains------REC2
OUTPUT FILE contains REC1,REC2.
5)     Pass OUTPUTFILE and filenames (test1,test2) to R/3.
PS: Please dont give references of blogs..I went through most of them could n't finad anything helpful.
My concern is how to collect files into one file and sending filename pattern..
Thanks in advance..

6) Suppose poling is for 2 minutes..I dont want to read the files which I already read again (I dont want to delete or modify source directory files)

I tried to buy something and it said my card was declined. But then I checked my info it was correct so I tried again. Same thing. Please help

This makes me want to take my money to amazon

What type of card are you trying to use as your payment method, credit or debit ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method in all countries - from this page :
You may be able to use other payment types in your country, like debit and Maestro cards.
For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined (but you might not be able to use a debit card) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

I have an app that says waiting and is grayed out but when I look in the app store it only gives me the option to open it - I have tried rebooting, signing out and back into the app store - not sure what to do?

And of course it is my Candy Crush app so I am being tortured! Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks!

I reset my iphone, and pandora was installed in the same folder I had it on my iphone 4. Problem solved!

How do I syncronize and implement MANY DAQ cards?

I need to acquire 30 channels of analog data at 400 kHz scan rate (all 30 channels is one scan. It would be preferable to convert all 30 cahannels simultaneously and stream data to disk for long data collection times. Signal conditioning such as integrators/sample and hold is an option to reduce the simultaneous sampling requirements.

Do you already have DAQ boards or are you looking to purchase? If you already have the DAQ boards, you can synchronize them together by sharing the clock source between them. This can either be done externally or internally with a RTSI cable.
If you are wondering what DAQ boards to use, there are several options.
If you can drop your scan rate all the way down to 40 kHz, you can use one NI 6071 device to scan in all 30 channels. If you must sample every channel at at 400 kHz, you will need to use multiple DAQ boards, and possible multiple systems. With the 6070E board, you can sample 3 channels at 400 kHz, though you would need ten of these boards. Another option would be to go with a simultanious sampling boards. The NI 6110 has four analog inputs with a 5
M/samples per channel rate. You would need several of these as well.
Once you have the DAQ boards, you can synchonize them by having them all use the same scan clock. If the boards are in the same system. You can internally connect them using a RTSI cable. (up to five devices.) This way, you do not have to externally wire the clock. Since you will probably have to use multiple systems, you will need to use external wiring to connect the clock source to the multiple systems.
Let me know if you have any questions about this.
