How do I add a multiplexer accessory device to my PCI-MIO-16XE-10

I've been told I have to add a multiplexer to my PCI-MIO-16XE-10 card (so I can read more than the 10 chanels it provides for at the same time).
How do I do this in the Measurement&Automation Explorer?
Thanks for any help!

Brain&Body,
The card can function as either 8 channels in differential mode or 16 channels (Referenced single ended or None referenced single ended - later uses system ground). The single ended mode(s) will allow you get access to all the channels, though it would mean that you would expect to see more noise on the signal than in differential mode.
You can select these modes within MAX under the properties for the specific DAQ card. Look under analogue input (AI) there you will see a pull down for the modes please select the mode you want. I would recommend that you read the user manual regarding the benefits and limitations of the modes. If using a developement tool (LV,CVI, VB or VC++) please make sure that you are reading single ended signals.
If you wish to expand the system further you might want to consider purchasing a multiplexer system such as an SCXI system (reference page 184 of the 2005 catalogue). I would recommend that you contact your local sales office and speak with one of our Internal Sales Engineers - UK general number of +44 1635 572400.

How to program labview to output continous voltage using NI PCI-MIO-16XE-50

I am an undergraduate student working on a research project. I need to program a labview block diagram to output continous voltage using DAQ NI PCI-MIO-16XE-50. I am new to this and having problems with formulating.
For example, if i need to output 4V, how to output 4V from the DAQ.
I know that there are 2 channels for output. But having problems figuring out which pins to use as well.
If there are any examples,tutorials or whatever hints i could get in order to solve this, that would be great. I am simply confused and wondering where to start.
Thanks in advance.
Confused undergraduate student

Here is an example of how to do some basic analog and digital communication. Since you need a 4V signal you are going to want to use Analog Output.

Problem integrating PCI-MIO-16XE-50 and AMUX-64 T multiplexer

I can test the PCI-MIO-16XE-50 card in MAX but i can not test the virtual channels

Hey Hiral,
The AMUX-64T does not support virtual channels. You'll need to acquire the data and then perform the required scaling in software. The following document discusses how to access the appropriate channels.
How do I Address an AMUX-64T with an MIO Board?
This next document may also be useful. It discusses how to perform the necessary scaling for a thermocouple channel in LabVIEW.

How do I add and subtract a device

How do I add and subtract devices.

Michael, thank you for taking the trouble to reply.
Yep I can do that, with itunes on the screen putting a new cd in the drives gets a prompt that invites me to add the cd to itunes. Okay so far worked that out fairly early.
BUT
The question I asked was how do I now get then get that ONE cd onto my nano.....I do not want to sych everything just that one cd?
AND
If I subsequently decide that I want to delete that (or any other) ONE cd from the nano to make room for another....how do I do that?
.....................In windows media player for instance you can select an option to display only the contents of the mp3 player, then you simply highlight the cd you want delete and delete it....poof by magic it disapears from the device freeing up space.....but the cd remains in windows media player...............Whereas in itunes if you select ....my ipod on the tool bar instead of simply getting a list of what is on that device....you get instead a list of everything that is in itunes.........and if you delete an item it goes from the itunes library but still stays on the nano itself...............crazy
Itunes seems to me to be totally illogical.

How can I add a 'Virtual 7354' device?

We are looking to purchase a PCI-7354 and I noticed that after installing the latest NI-Motion 8.3 that there is no option to add a Virtual 7354 device. The only options I see are: 7344, 7334, 7358 and 7390. Can I safely choose the 7358 and integrate agaisnt that without having the change my code when we finally get the 7354 in?
Thanks

Hi,
As you have noticed you can only simulate certain devices. Your idea of simulating the 7358 should work as the only difference between the two devices is one is 4-axis and the other is 8-axis.

How can I wire two PWM outputs of Accelerometer into PCI-MIO-16E boad with SC-2043-SG?

I have been using counter/timer pin since the accelerometer (ADXL202AE, Analog Device) provides about 550Hz PWM signal. The purpose of the project is:
- To acquire PWM signals with Full cycle(ms) and Posity duty cycle(ms) generated in Accelerometer.
- To convert the cycles into acceleration value.
By using counte/timer(GPCTR0_Source) and Trigger(Trig1) on SC-2043-SG board, the signal was obtained.
However, after converting the PWM signal to acceleration value and plotting with labview on-line, the sampling rate was pretty low (26-28samples/sec).
Then, I began to doubt that there is a wrong wire connection. Even though I am using one counter/timer pin, the sampling rate
was low. The purpose of using the acceleration was to obtain two output using two counter/timer pins.
Could anyone help me wire pins and solve the problem?
GINO.

Gino,
You should definitely be getting many more values in your buffer. You should actually be getting 500,000 values every second because a measurement is being taken for every pulse. I found a couple knowledgebases that describe error -10920 and how to remedy it. One is pasted below and the other can be found through the link.
But I'm not sure if you're going to be able to fix this problem because you're measuring pulses at a very high rate. What is happening is every time a pulse width measurement is taken it is put into an onboard (DAQ board) FIFO buffer that is 9 samples long. The computer then reads these samples out of the FIFO and into an a buffer that you can see in LabVIEW. I think the FIFO is filling up too fast and the computer is not able to read the data out fast enough. Therefore you are losing samples because they are being overwritten. This is all dependent on your system.
Here are some benchmarks for pulse measurements:
The following numbers were derived from a Gateway with 128 MB-RAM and an Athlon 700 for ONE counter of the PCI-6602. The number of counters you are using will affect these numbers.
Finite Buffer
Buff Period - 7.25 MHz
Buff Pulse Width - 7.25 MHz
Buff Semi-Period - 3.35 MHz
Continuous Buffer
Buff Period - 250 kHz
Buff Pulse Width - 250 kHz
Buff Semi-Period - 140 kHz
You should still be getting many more samples than 26 though. Try using this example with a very slow frequency pulse to make sure it operates correctly. Then start speeding up the pulse and determine when you get error -10920.
Here is an internal knowledgebase that may help you:
Title:
After Long Periods of Acquisition with AI and Counters, a -10920 Error Occurs
Problem:
A customer has a PCI-MIO-16E-4 and his application is acquiring analog input signals and performing event counting with the buffered event counting mode. The problem is that the buffered event counting is at some arbitrary amount of time (e.g., after 2 days) getting an error with the number -10920. The questions are:
1. Why is he getting this error?
2. Do you know how big the FIFO is for this buffered event counting?
3. When he shares a DMA channel with the floppy controller, how can we make sure they use separate DMA channels?
Solution :
Here are the answers to the above questions:
1. There is probably just some noise on the signal line coming in at some point. The STC is VERY sensitive, so if there is any fast glitching, it will attempt to transfer all of these. This can also happen if the signal does not ramp up fast enough, resulting in double-triggering in the middle region. Use a filter, or a Schmidt trigger*, to clean up the signals. Another suggestion is to use the PCI-6602 with filtering.
2. There is no FIFO used for the counters. The mMite has its own FIFO, but it is only about 9 samples long.
3. PCI does not "share" DMA channels. It may technically be the same DMA channel number, but this is just for reference. PCI cards use Bus Mastering. With Bus Mastering, the operating system gives up control of the PCI bus so that the hardware (in this case, our DAQ board) can handle its own data streaming, eliminating the extra step of having the OS monitor the transfers. The DMA channel numbers are just the "channels" that are supported by the mMite chip. You can have 3 PCI cards in the PC, each with DMA 1, 2, 3, and none of them will actually be sharing any resources.
And another knowledgebase about error -10920

How do I get an analog output signal from my PCI-MIO-16E-4 card?

I need an analog output from 0-10 V to control the mass range on a mass spectrometer. Do I use the DAC0out channel to do this? The manual only talks about analog out (ao) channels. Is this the same as DAC0out and DAC1out? How do I set up the DAQ assistant for this process? I do not need a waveform, only a constant signal.

Yes indeeded. The DAC0out and DAC1out are the analog output channels (ao0 and ao1).
Simply follow the examples that ship with LabVIEW. You can also easily create code with DAQ assistant.
