Generating PWM signal using Signal Express

Hi,
   Would anyone help in generating PWM signal usinf Signal Express 2.5.1.   I am using a cDAQmx and connected NI 9472 to the slot number 6 to output the PWM signal. Also I have connected a NI 9421 to the slot number 5 to acquire the PWM signal, so that I could verify the signal.
   So would you please let me know how could I generate a PWM signal using Signal Express without any LabVIEW Programming. Please help me out.

HI Aamruth,
I atached a project, where you can see how to do it. I hope this helps.
Regards, Mona

  • How to generate pwm pulse using NI DAQ in MATLAB

    hi everyone. please tell me how to generate pwm pulses using Ni DAQ card in MATLAB Simulink. if through coding is possible then post the corresponding code.....reply me 

    Make sure you have installed the Measurement studio support for VB 6.0 then you will be able to find examples in the folder below on win7 and 8.
    C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples
    Narrow down to Analog Output and choose update voltage example for measurement studio.
    You also have the possibility to use DAQ assistant if you have measurement studio installed. This function is a configuration type programming. After going through the configuration Wizard code is automatically scripted for you so that you can output the voltage you need. Read more about DAQ assistant in the blow link.

  • Boost network signal using AirPort Express without using WDS?

    I want to boost the signal on my network using my airport express without setting up a WDS network, is this possible?
    I had previously set up my Time Capsule as a WDS main and my airport express as a WDS remote, but this slowed the network down dramatically.

    If you have an AirPort Express 802.11n, you can configure it to "extend a wireless network" and maintain "n" speeds on the network with a minimum of bandwidth loss.
    Check the model number of your Express is you are not sure which version you have. Look on the side of the device for the Model Number. Model No. A 1264 is the "n" version.
    Post back if you have this version and need more info on the "extend" setup.

  • HT4259 Extend existing WiFi signal using airport express?

    I have a Belkin Play Max Wireless Router Modem in my existing WiFi set up.
    I want to extend its range, could I connect a Airport Express wirelessly to extend its range (as my house does not have ethernet lines built in)?
    And how would I be able to do it?

    Apple's "extend" setting is a proprietary feature that is designed to only work with other Apple routers. So, it would be extremely unlikely that it would work with your modem/router from Belkin.....or any other manufacturer, for that matter.
    Your best bet for compatibilty is to always use wireless routers and extenders from the same manufacturer on your network. Check with Belkin to see if they have what you need.

  • Can I use Signal Express for multiple customers for only the one time $699?

    How do I go about distributing Signal Expresss applications to multiple customers?

    Hi Nutter,
    Unlike LabVIEW, Signal Express doesn’t have any file distribution capabilities.  If your application uses only basic features, you could install the free LE version of Signal Express on as many computers as necessary.  If you need the full capabilities of Signal Express, however, you would need to purchase a license for each customer.
    An alternative to paying for Signal Express for each customer deployment would be to generate LabVIEW code from the Signal Express project and create an executable.  This process is described in the Knowledge Base articles Generate LabVIEW VIs from Signal Express and Deploying VIs generated in Signal Express.  Note that this method requires that you have LabVIEW installed on your development computer with Application Builder capabilities.

  • Generate PWM signal with 6602 utilizing load cell feedback

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to LabVIEW so I apologize if this question is elementary but I really need some help with the coding. First of all, I need to generate 8 independent PWM signals to control 8 separate linear acuators using the NI 6602 board. I have each actuator wired to their own COUNTER OUT pins and ground on the SCB-68 that is connected to the 6602. The specs for the actuators state that it will take an input of "RC input range of 1.00 to 2.00msec pulse widths @ 55Hz. Bandwidth=.44to160Hz. Period from 6-23  msec". How can I code for these PWM signals given the specs from the manufacturer?
    In the end I need to be able to not only control these actuators based upon duty cycle, but based upon the load each actuator is applying. Each actuator has a load cell in series measuring the tensile force through the load cell (the actuators will be pulling on strings). Each load cell is wired to a NI 9237 in a NI 9074 block that is connected via USB to the same computer. So first comes first, how can I code for the load cell output to be brought into the LabVIEW environment?
    My last question is pulling this all together. How can I code so that I can input a specified load into LabVIEW and then based upon the value the load cell is reading, the duty cycle of the PWM will be adjusted until the the desired load is achieved?
    Thanks in advance for any help! Also, I know that this is quite a complex questions so if you can even point me in the direction of resources that would be helpful, I would greatly appreciate that too!
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Hello Ryan,
    Here's a tutorial on generating PWM with LabVIEW:
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/2991
    How are the load cells outputting the data? Is it an analog signal? If so, you can read that in using an analog input task, and run that in parallel with the PWM task. Then you can modify the frequency and duty cycle inputs that you're giving you the DAQmx write inside the PWM code based on the analog input. By putting the DAQmx read and the DAQmx write in the same for loop, you can read from one and modify the other at the same time.
    Here's a tutorial that shows a lot of useful information for using DAQmx within LabVIEW:
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/2835#toc6
    If you're interested in getting better at LabVIEW in general, NI has some learning materials available here:

    Let me know if you have any further questions once you've gone through those first two tutorial links.

  • I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use?

    I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use? Essentially having two wifi connection off the same network? If so how do I set this up?

    Extending using a wireless connection always results in a performance compromise.
    If the Express is going to extend using a wireless connection, then the Express will need to be located about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area where you need more wireless coverage. The more that you have line-of-sight between the Extreme and Express, the better the network will operate.
    Remember......the Express can only "extend" the quality and signal speed that it receives, so it needs to be located where it can get a very good signal from the Extreme. Although Apple cleverly uses the term "extend", a more accurate term for the Express would be "repeater".
    If the Express will extend by connecting to the Extreme using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection......highly recommended for best performance.....then the Express can be located exactly where you need more wireless coverage. There is no signal loss at all through the Ethernet cable, so the Express gets a full speed signal no matter where it might be located.
    Post back to let us know which way to you want to go.

    you need to increment the "accumulator increment" during the duration of the chirp.  the "accumulator increment" controls the frequency of the DDS cycle.  by increasing it's value, you are increasing the frequency.  the math for increment values follows the same math as determining the frequency to increment value.

  • How to generate two signals using NI myDAQ

    Dear Sir:
    I designed a circuit to generate a sine wave successfully using Labview. What I want is using NI myDAQ to generate another 3V DC signal as a power supply. I can do this seperately but when I add them together there is an error:  NI Platform Services:  The specified resource is reserved. The operation could not be completed as specified.
    I would like to use A01 to generate a sine wave and A02 to generate a DC wave, could you please check my file and tell me how to solve this problem. I found a solution which generates two signals together but what I need is to control these two signals seperately and using two channels.

  • Can I boost the DSL signal using my 1st Generation Airport Extreme or Express? Also, can I get wireless printing?

    Can I boost the DSL signal using my 1st Generation Airport Extreme or Express?
    I just moved into a house where they have ATT DSL and it is really slow in my room.  I am hoping that I don't have to purchase a booster and I might be able to use my Airport Extreme or Express to boost it.  I don't think they want my Extreme as their router, though.  They are PC.
    I am also hoping that I can set up a wireless printing situation in my room using the Express or Extreme.
    I am running 10.4.11 on my old MacBook Pro laptop, 10.5.something on my old desktop (MacMini).
    Thanks for any help ahead of time,

    Unfortunately, this won't work especially if you want the connection between the routers to be wireless. The two are just not compatible for configuring an extended network. However, it could work if you can have them interconnected by wire. In that case, you could configure them into a roaming network.
    I don't think they want my Extreme as their router, though.  They are PC.
    This shouldn't be an issue as the AirPorts support wireless clients regardless of which operating system they are running.

  • Measure rpm and PWM signals using digital input of NI9401 module

    Hi, is there a simple way how measure rpm (to 5000 rpm) and PWM (about f=3kHz) signals using digital input of NI9401 (ultrahigh-speed digital I/O)  module plugged in NI 9172 ?  I will wellcome any suggestions and VI examples (bether still). I'm begginer using LView 8.2. I apologize for my poor English. Many thanks.

    Hi CUA,
    Since you have already the right tools, you just need to get started with the software. The NI-9401 will give you access to the counters that are inside the cDAQ chassis 9172.
    You need to place the module in slots 5 or 6. You can read in how they work and how to configure them in the counters section of the user guide found here.
    Now to measure rpm, you can either measure the period of the signal (seconds) and multiply by 60 to have minutes and the number of ticks per revolution. You can find a shipped example to read period called “Meas Dig Freq-Buffered-Cont-Large Range 2 Ctr.vi” found under Hardware Input and Output » DAQmx » Counter Mesurements
    To measure PWM, it is similar procedure and you can read the semiperiod (high time or low time). There is also a shipped example called “Meas Semi-Period.vi” found under the same location.
    There is great information for these kind of task at this page or just post back if you need to.
    Hope this helps.

  • Using airport express to extend Time Warner cable modem wifi signal

    I just today got a Time Warner Cable Arris modem with built-in wifi.  I'd like to use my 802.11n Airport Express base station to extend the TWC network wifi signal to other parts of my house, but I can't get the Airport Express to shake hands with the TWC modem.
    In Airport Utility, under the "Wireless" tab, I've selected "Extend a wireless network".  I am able to select my TWC network under "Wireless Network Name." Wireless Security is set to "WPA2 Personal."  But when I click "update" the airport express fails to join the TWC network, and my Airport Express signal disappears; I am only able to get the signal back by resetting the Airport Base Station with a paperclip.
    Applecare tells me that I might be able to use the Airport Express to extend my TWC network, but they do not support that process.  Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do?  Are there settings in Airport Utility I need to change?  I'd appreciate anyone's help.
    Thank you.
    Todd

    You need TWO Airport units, one to function as the main radio and the other to function as an extender.  I used two Express units.
    Configuration is simple if you start from a factory default condition.  Then connect the main Airport to AC power and finally to the Internet modem (or modem/router).  Open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.
    Then connect the extender to AC power.  As before, open Airport Express on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  No need to add password info.
    Do not expect the Airport to respond instantly to the configuration commands.  BE PATIENT!

  • Can I use AirPort Express as booster/extender to LinkSys router signal?

    I have LinkSys N router (which I got free, else would've bought AirPort), its signal isn't strong enough in office room.  Can I use AirPort Express as a booster/extender?  Some sources say Express can only talk to another Express, others say it can communicate with the LinkSys.  Which is it?  I don't want to spend the money for two Expresses unless I have no choice (very limited budget nowadays).
    I've been hassling with this for over a month, and I'm extremely frustrated. 
    Thanks to anybody who can help me with this.

    Most likely no. That is because most non-Apple router's implementation of WDS is not compatible ... and this is true the other way around. It is true that some early Linksys models, mainly the WRT-54 series were compatible, but I have not seen anything since then that is.

  • Generate complement​ary digital signals with dead time between each pulse and controlled by duty ratio

    I am to generate  two complementary digital signals using NI 9606 conected by RIO Mezannine Card to NI 9683 (Half Bridge DO).
    I am able to generate the signals but I am not able to put dead time between high and low signal and also, low and high signal.
    Requirement:
    (1) When the first signal goes high and the second signal goes low, there should be a controllable dead time.
    (2) Also when the second signal goes high and the first signal goes low, there should be a controllable dead time.
    I am able to do requirement 1, but I am unable to fulfill requirement 2.
    Please have a look at my VI and let me know how to go about satisfying requirement 2.

    Hi Frank ,
    I have already taken note of the example Tannerite has provided  and have built my vi ( attached in previous post) surrounding that example.
    Now I require to control the PWM duty cycle as you can see from the vi using a knob and that control refers to both the signal 1 and 2.
    Now the signal 1 end and signal 2 generation requires a controllable dead time. Similarly, signal 2 end and signal 1 geneeration also requires another controllable dead time.
    I am able to do either one dead time at a time using delay but not two dead time simultaneously.
    I feel that I have two put the delays at the appropriate data flow point. I am working on that.
    I would really appreciate if you could give some insight on how to solve this dead time issue and generate two complementary waveform with dead times whose duty cycle can be controlled by a knob controller in fronty panel .
    I have also posted the required timing diagram for reference as suggested by Tannerite.
    Best regards.

  • Need Help on How to Generate Pulse Width Modulation signals

    Hi Ronald,
    in this thread a very similar question came up. You can use the same approach on your sbRIO.
    For the frequency you gave you should use the FPGA present on the sbRIO - as is shown/discussed in that other thread! I also suggest that other thread because of the "deadtime" feature used to prevent shortcut problems when switching your MOSFETS simultanuously...
