How to connect multiple DAQ in labview

Hi, 
I have a question about connecting multiple DAQs to the labview. 
So, currently I have two NI 6210 DAQs, each with 16 channels. I would like to simultaneously collect data with 32 channels, so I plugged both DAQs into the USBs on my computer. I am wondering which function block that I could use to look for and combine the data from two DAQs in Labview? Currentlly I used a DAQ assistant to read data from one of my DAQs. I tried adding another DAQ assistant block, and then merge the two blocks, but it doesn't work. 
Please advise. If there is any similar post, I would really appreciate if you could direct me to those. 
Thank you very much!
Best,
Minnie

If all channels perform the same type of measurements you can just add the channels of the second daq board in the same daq assistant. The daqmx read will output an array of 32 values (assuming you use the 32 available channels).
You should provide us with more details.

That may not work with M series cards (unless NI changed something on me).  Last I checked, M series and older needed to have seperate tasks to run, meaning you would need two DAQ Assistants.

  • How to connect multiple Xserve Raid for Best Performance

    I like to get an idea how to connect multiple Xserve Raid to get the best performance for FCP to do multiple stream HD.

    Again, for storage (and retrieval), FireWire 400 should be fast enough. If you are encoding video directly to the external drive, then FireWire 800 would probably be beneficial. But as long as the processing of the video is taking place on the fast internal SATA drive, and then you are storing files on the external drive, FireWire 400 should be fine.
    Instead of speculating about whether it will work well or not, you need to set it up and try your typical work flow. That is the only way you will know for sure if performance is acceptable or not.
    For Time Machine, you should use a single 1.5TB drive. It is likely that by the time your backup needs comes close to exceeding that space, you will be able to buy a 3TB (or larger) single drive for the same cost. Also, I would not trust a RAID where the interaction between the two drives is through two USB cables and a hub. If your primary storage drive fails, you need your backup to be something that is simple and reliable.
    Oh, and there should be no problem with the adapter, if you already have it and it works.
    Edit: If those two external drives came formatted for Windows, make sure you have use Disk Utility Partition tab to repartition and reformat the drive. When you select the drive in the Disk Utility sidebar, at the bottom of the screen +Partition Map Scheme+ should say *GUID Partition Table*. When you select the volume under the drive in the sidebar, Format should say *Mac OS Extended (Journaled)*.

  • How to setup multiple daq lists on a ecu with ecu mc toolkit?

    Has anyone had the pleasure of setting up multiple DAQ lists on a ECU?
    I am using ECU MC Addon for Labview 2011.  I can successfully setup a single DAQ list and read the data correctly.  This method uses DAQ list mode to initilize instead of polling, it really cuts down on CAN traffic.
    I dont have my VI on this PC but it basically is ECU Connect > ECU DAQ List Initilize (sets sample rate and channel list) > ECU Transmit DAQ List to ECU > Start DAQ List > LOOP{ ECU Read } 
    I need to create a second DAQ list to sample at a different speed.  Any ideas?  
    Thanks,
    Ben
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    My revised VI is:
    ... >  ECU Connect > ECU DAQ List Initilize (sets sample rate and channel list) > ECU DAQ List Initialize #2 (sets sample rate and channel list) > 2 Parallel Loops of ECU Read
    The ECU DAQ Initialize or the ECU Read VI's appear to transmit the DAQ list to the ECM, so I removed those VIs.  The ECU appears to also start transmitting the channels without a need for the ECU DAQ Start.
    FYI, the  "ECU Transmit DAQ List to ECU" was  "MC DAQ Start Stop .vi" with the mode set to "transmit daq list to ecu".
    Its running great, I am able to run this on a cRIO & 985x or a USB-8473.  Now I am just working on setting up TDMS data logging.

  • How to open multiple files in Labview?

    I want to open multiple files in labview by selecting multiple files,then read them? Can I do this in Labview 7.0?

    You can use the vi example here to get multiple names:

    Once you have the file names, you can use a for loop w/ a Read/Open file vi to open all the files.

  • How to connect external sensors to labview?

    i want to ask How can i connect external sensors to NI labview for my final year project.? here are my lists of sensors:
    a. Temperature sensor (LM35)
    b. Humidity sensor (HH10D)
    c. Light sensor (LDR)
    d. Moisture sensor

    simply_me wrote:
    I've used the NI's bread board (with DAQ assistant initially) when I was in school. We used it for temp, light, and etc... measurements, the whole system is very straight forward. I would say having the option to simulate signals is a big plus in that. From what you described, I don't think the "slower" rate of data acquisition will disturb you at all. But more information is needed on your sensors and  general functional spec. 
    @ NIquist & RTSLVU, please correct me if I'm misleading/wrong :-)
    Is that the ELVIS stuff?  Very neat but kind of pricey (unless the school is paying! )
    Again, the low-cost USB DAQs from NI or MC are the way to go for the OPs project.  I am assuming that he has enough electronics background to make simple signal conditioning circuits for his sensor chips.

  • Connecting multiple DAQs into the same computer

    Hi, 
    Im working in a project where i wil need to connect more than 300 digital signs with a USB port.
    I was looking for options, and found two that i liked, but i dont know if LabView will have troubles reading all the signs from different DAQs.
    My first option is the USB-6501 (with 24 digital I/O), where Ill start doing the config, but if it works for what im looking for, i was expecting to repeat the same config in a total of 13 DAQs
    My second option was, the High-Density Industrial I/O for USB (96 channels digital), and have in total 3 DAQs with an extra of the USB-6501 to complete my set of signals.
    Can I connect more than one DAQs into the same computer? Meaning that all the DAQs will be working into the same LabView app?
    Regards,

    Those modules are static DIO, so the bandwidth of the USB shouldn't be an issue.  As nyc mentioned, you might run into problems with the current draw on your USB port.  Definitely get an independently powered USB hub.

    You could use the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" would allow you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPods. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

    Connect your iPod to your computer and when it appears in the Source list go to Edit>iTunes>Music Tab (iTunes>Preferences>Music tab on a Mac).

  • How to connect multiple monitors to a R6970 2PM2D2GD5?

    This issue is driving me round the bend because everytime I want to connect a new monitor to my card I run into problems and I can't seem to find a complete authorative answer as to how and what I can connect.
    Currently I have 3 monitors connected:
    2x DVI
    1x MiniDP-DVI (active)
    I now want to connect a 4th monitor and tried it via the HDMI-Port. But alas, it doesn't work. Someone in a different forum said I couldn't combine the 2xDVI with the HDMI.
    So what can I connect simultaneously? 
    Which ports can I combine? 
    And how do I do that? 
    What cables/adapter etc do I need? 
    Is there any info/manual/etc available which tells me that?
    (First time I failed because I tried a non-active MiniDP-DVI dongle, till somebody told me I needed an active, ...) 

    OK, here is the AMD multi monitor set-up tool. Its interactive and you start by choosing the amount of monitors you want to connect. Good luck and let us know.

    How many non-DisplayPort monitors can I use with an AMD Eyefinity technology-enabled graphics card?
    You can connect up to two non-DisplayPort monitors at one time to an AMD Eyefinity technology-enabled graphics card using non-DisplayPort connections or passive DisplayPort dongles. To enable and drive 3 or more non-DisplayPort monitors at one time, the additional non-DisplayPort monitors must be connected with an active DisplayPort dongle
    You will need this active Display port dongle.  All the requirements and FAQs are in this link http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/amd-eyefinity-technology/how-to/Pages/faqs.aspx#whats-the-diff

  • How to connect multiple databases

    Hi all,
    This is my situation , i need to set the max number of connections to one database , if the connection exceeds then i need to connect to another database , is there any way to solve it? please help me

    Sounds like you want to write your own load balancer. Sweet!!
    As was already stated, this would be best handled by clustering your database servers.
    If it's not done at that level, what's the next best option? How are your users currently connecting to the database? Is it through a web server or from stand-alone clients? If it's a web server, the server should have some facility for creating datasources and pooling connections. If you are dead set on switching to a different database when the number of connections in the pool has been maxed out, then you might have to write your own singleton class to manage the connection pool(s).
    If your users are connecting through stand-alone clients, you have to force the client applications to connect through a single server that controls the connections.
    There's one major problem with switching databases...if a user saves some data there is no guarantee that they will connect to the same database when they want to read the data at some later point. Maybe if there is replication between the two databases in the cluster, they might be able to do that.

    Cool! I had a look at the examples and test it. It works.
    Here are the steps that I took: (*I had both of my computer connected through a router which I used to connect both of them to the internet, i just plug Ethernet wires from both computer to the router, that's all, no configuration needed)
    1) Open Data Server.vi in my 1st computer
    2) Open Client Server.vi in my 2nd computer
    3) Search for my 1st computer IP address by going to the
    Start (at 1st computer) >Run>enter "cmd">type "ipconfig"
    4) Search for my 2nd computer IP address by going to the
    Start (at 2nd computer)>Run>enter "cmd">type "ipconfig"
    5) Ping the 2nd computer from the 1st computer to check if the connection is ok.
    Start (at 1st computer) >Run>enter "cmd">type "ping [2nd computer IP Address]"
    7) Set the port number in Data Server.vi to any desired number (in my case I just choose 6350)
    6) Run Data Server.vi
    4) Set the port number in Client Server.vi to match the one in Data Server.vi (in my case 6350)
    7) Run Client Server.vi
    8) The waveform should appear in the graph in Client Server.vi
    9) SUCCESS!

  • Snytax to connect multiple routes in LabVIEW

    Hi,
    i'm using a 64-relays-matrix with my NI-PXI-2567 module. It's includes an 3x18 matrix with 3 channels for 18 pins. 
    To make it easier in LabVIEW, i created routes for every posibiliy: CH1_TO_PX , CH2_TO_PX, CH3_TO_PX (X represents a number from 1 to 18)
    For example, if I want Pin 1 connect to CH1, Pin 6 connect to CH2 and Pin 15 connect to CH3, the following routes need to be switched: CH1_TO_P1, CH2_TO_P6, CH3_TO_P15.
    Question: What string do i need to connect to the "niSwitch Connect Channels(Mulitple).vI" to make this work?
    I tried it like this: 
    Unfortionatly, the error message says that there needs to be at least one arrow (->) in the string.
    Doens't Labview take the String from the Route Setup? (see marked string in first picture bottom right)
    What is the correct string that I need to use?
    Solved!

    Bommelchen,
    The thing that you are configuring in in NI Switch Executive. You will need to connect using NI Switch Executive if you wanted to configure the routes in MAX. See below for more information on using switch executive.
    NI-SWITCH uses the channel names that the device has at default. If you choose to use NI-SWITCH you can only use a string such as "ch0->com0" using the default names of the device.

  • How to connect multiple endpoints into one straight one line

    Hello everybody,
    I made a sihlouette of buildings and I"m wanting to connect the bottom open endpoints into one straight line. The reason I'm doing this is because I want to add a fill to the sihlouette as a whole instead of doing them one by one.
    I tried joining paths but it can only be two open endpoints at a time. As you can see with the picture below, I have many open endpoints.
    The pen tool only joins two open endpoints. If I try to continue to try to add another endpoint to the same line, the pen tool becomes a "minus anchor point" tool and messes up the shape of the buildings.
    Of course, I thought of just making each building seperate and grouping them together. However, if I do that, a issue occurs because I have certain buildings that are "in front" of each other (not in the sense of layers, but the image as a whole). I purposely made the sihlouette look like some buildlings are in front of each other and some are behind each other.
    I hope I am making sense. I don't even know if what I am doing is possible.
    I added a picture below so everybody can see what I am trying to achieve. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you all for being very helpful. As you can see, I have much to learn.
    @Jonika
    I have tried the pathfinder but the images become messed up and not exactly the way I want it.
    @jacobbugge
    I did and this is what happens.
    I tried to do that in the first place but it wasn't working so I'm stuck trying to figure out a different way.
    To everybody else:
    What I eventually want to do is to do a clipping mask so I can use a picture that will show up on the inside of the buildings. And if I do it the way it is right now, it won't necesarily fill in all of the buildings. If you see the picture above, it cuts off the areas that have no endpoints to the other side.
    The buildings that have two points on the bottom, I am able to fill without connecting the endpoints. That is true. However, for example, the far left and the far right buildings, do not fill correctly because they do not have an endpoint that is right next to it that it can connect to. This is getting difficult to describe haha.
    The front buildings are no problem. However, the buildings "behind" the other buildings, how can I get these to fill in all the way?
