How to install my AT-MIO-16E-1 in WindowsXp?

I have an board AT-MIO-16E-1 (ISA bus) and I need to use it in a new computer with WindowsXp but I can't find the driver. NI-DAQ 5.0 do not reconize this board. What can I do?

The AT-MIO-16E-1 (6070E) will work in Windows XP. You need to download our latest NI-DAQ driver version 7.3. You can see a list of our DAQ hardware and what version of DAQ is required for particular operating systems at:

How to install NI6711 (PCI) & MIO-16X (ISA) on the same PC?

NI6711 & MIO-16X work with two differents versions of NI-DAQ: Each version can detect only one DAQcard. What the solution to install them on the same PC?

I know that the pci-6711 is supported since nidaq 6.5 and that since that version the at-mio-16x is no longer supported. Thus, there is no way to get them to install in the same computer. Either you must install them in different computers, or you should get a new board which performs the same operations of the mio-16x. There is a huge variety of E series boards which perform operations much better than that legacy board. Maybe you can get it to exchange with your Sales Rep.
Hope this information is useful.

Need to use AT-MIO-16E-2 to write MX code for PCI-6221 M SERIES that is installed in another system

Hello to all,
My Systems:
System 1
PCI-6221 M series card
LabVIEW 7.1 Express
Code developed using MX environment
WinXP
System 2
AT-MIO-16E-2 Card
LabVIEW 7.1 Express
So far do not see MX as an option (ran "default" install with this card)
WinXP
Here is my issue and 2 questions:
I installed a PCI-6221 M series card in a customer's PC. I am running the newest versions of LabVIEW Express (7.1) with WinXP. I used the standard LabVIEW installation to develop their code on that PC, including the M-Series disk. They now have a running application that is not quite complete. That system is in a different state. I need to go there and update some code in a few days, and I would like to develop that code at home, then port it to their machine. I have another computer at home. On it is installed an AT-MIO-16E-2. I have so far ran the standard LabVIEW Express (7.1) development system installation. Of course LabVIEW is smart enough to sense what kind of card I have and installed the appropriate software for that card, which I believe means that MX is NOT installed.
MY QUESTIONS?
1. Can I use DAQmx with AT-MIO-16E-2 and then port the code (with minor modifications) to the other machine?
2. What do I need to manually install on my machine with the AT-MIO-16E-2 card to enable this?
I thought I read that you can run MX on older boards by installing a patch. But I also need to know what software to install from the LabVIEW disks.
Many thanks for all your help,
Max

Hi MaxMotion,
Your AT-MIO-16E-2 card is only supported in Traditional NI-DAQ. You can not use DAQmx with that card. When you installed NI-DAQ (7.2 or greater) DAQmx was installed on your machine. The DAQmx VI's should show up in LabVIEW in the "NI Measurements" pallette. You can develop your DAQmx application in the sense that you can build the block diagram. However, you will not be able to run your application on the AT board.

AT-MIO-16E-10 Gate signal,how can i configure it as in input or as an output ?

Hi there ! I have AT-MIO-16E-10 board and i want to control a counter (the GPCTR0 counter of the bord) to count up depending on the gate signal.Now i have the following missunderstanding.I've read in the AT-MIO-16E-10 manual that the gate signal can be treated eather as an input or as an output.So i want to control my counter (to count up) until a signal that comes on my gate counter's entry changes his states from 1 to 0 (to reset the counter) and then when it changes his states back to 1 form 0 i.e a transition from 0 to 1 to start counting again from zero.Now here i have 2 questions : 1. How can i config the gate signal as an input signal (in the AT-MIO-16E-10 manual it sais that the signa
l can be treated as an input or output and it's known if i configure the port as an output and if i came with an external signal to the gate i can damage the board if the signal it's set to zero ) 2. What it's the default state of the gate signal ?
Any vi files would be very usefully,Thank you very much for reading this and i'll be waiting for your answers as quick as possible.

Antonios,
The shipping example VI Count Edges does what you describe.
>Quoted from VI Description
Count Edges (DAQ-STC).vi
DESCRIPTION:
This VI counts rising edges, using an STC based device (e.g.: E-series). The counter increments its event count everytime a pulse comes into its source input. A gate signal can be added such that if a low signal occurs on the gate, then the counter will pause (scroll the front panel left to access the gate settings). The current value of the counter is read continuously in the while loop, until the Stop button is clicked or an error occurs.
I/O CONNECTIONS:
Connect the gating signal, if any, to the gate input of the selected counter.
If you selected the Source Selection to be "PFI line", connect your event count base signal to the PFI line indicated by "Source PFI line number used". (If you selected "Internal Timebase", no source connection is necessary.)
NOTE: For actual I/O pin numbers, please refer to your hardware user manual.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Enter the device and counter you want use.
2. Make your Source selections, as desired.
3. Optional controls are located on the left side of the front panel. You will have to use your scroll bar to reach these.
4. Connect your signals as described below in I/O CONNECTIONS.
5. Run the VI.
>End quote
If you look inside the Diagram of the Count Edges VI you will see a subVI, Group Config CTR, that has a constant set to "simple event counting." This configures the gate in the correct manner. You have 17 or so options to choose from (right-click to see the other choices). Each choice configures the counters as needed. No special effort is needed on your part.
If you really must know more details double-click on the Group Config CTR icon. On the Diagram of that VI is a Call Library function. Right-Click that and see more ugly details that you don't need to know. The functions of the counters are fully implemented by the options already available, so you don't need to know how the details, but it is intersting.
Hints:
Keep in mind that the counters require TTL level signals. 0V to 5V. Limit the current to the level the DAQ board can handle. You will false trip the counter if your low is higher than 0.8V. I have had problems with this when using noisy signals.
Also make sure you debounce any switches you wire to the counters. It is instructive to hook up an unbounced switch to the counter inputs and see just how many false trips they can generate!

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 to reduce reading and recording data time/ Visual C++, PCI 6024E and PCI-MIO-16E?

Right now I am working on a data communication programme. The time of reading digital signal and recording data is more than I expected, which is about 100 microsecond. I need to reduce the time. The software I am using is Visual C++ 6.0. I use two DAQ boards, which are PCI-6024E and PCI-MIO-16E. I have set the priority of Visual C++ to be realtime by task manager. The operating systme is Windows XP.
I am wondering how to set the interrupt of reading or writing data to be the highest and stop any other kind of interrupt.
Thanks in advance!

The primary limitation you will encounter when trying to do high speed
digital I/O using your E-Series hardware is that the digital lines are
all software timed. This means that for each and every digital
read it is necessary for your software to issue a command to your
hardware, read a single point, then receive the response from the
board. This prevents you from performing digital operations at
very high speed. In general, I would say that 100 microseconds is
a very good response using software-timed digital I/O on a Windows
computer.
It is difficult to make a good recommendation without more detail about
what you are trying to do. You may need to consider switching to
a Real-Time operating system, or upgrading your DAQ hardware to a board
that will allow you to time your digital acquisitions on the board
itself. These devices, such as the m-Series DAQ or the PCI-653x
series, would allow you to use hardware triggers for your digital
acquisitions, change detection, and buffered data acquisitions to
reduce the software overhead involved in a rapid acquisition.

Upgrade win98/LV4 to win2000/LV6: Speed problems with AT-MIO-16E

I found that in Windows 2000 with Labview 6 the readout rate of our AT-MIO-16E board drops to approx. 2.5 kHz max. (before approx. 11.5 kHz in Windows 98 with Labview 4 ) using the 'AI single scan' VI (see attached scheme for the readout routine). I don't know if this is due to Win2000 or due to the new NI-DAQ drivers, but for our timing-critical application this is unacceptable.
Are there any suggestions about how to accellerate the readout of the AT-MIO-16E board?
With best thanks,
Thomas Schultz

Hi Thomas,
Here is another idea I can give but will be of limited use in chasing it down.
Make sure the board is using DMA.
DMA is alot faster than CPU based data transfers.
Maybe durring the softeware conversion, the board got installed without DMA enabled.
Just an idea.

AT-MIO-16E-10 Iwant - but it shows a AT-AO-10

I am using a AT-MIO-16E-10 for daq. But in my data neighborhoud - it is showing me a AT-AO-10 - what should i do? How can I change it? I use a NT sytem on a pentium 2 and LabView 5.1. I can't insert the daq-card - the computer shows just - the AT-AO-10 model.

It seems to be that the nidaq version that you have in your computer is corrupted, or there is something weird in the installation procedure. I will suggest you to uninstall everything and reinstall everything.
The steps I would recommend you to do are these:
1.- Uninstall the nidaq driver that you have by going to Control Panel>>Add/Remove Programs.
2.- Remove the board from the Device Manger.If there is another NI board which is in your system, remove it, too.
3.- Turn off the computer, and take off your board.
4.- Install the nidaq driver again (either nidaq 6.9.1 or nidaq 6.9.2), you can download it in the following FTP site: ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/daq/pc/ni-daq/. Make sure you also download the supporting file for your LV Version 5.1. The install.t
xt file describes the instructions to install the driver.
5.- Follow the instructions to install the board that are in the following link: http://www.ni.com/support/install/
Hope these steps help you solve your issue.

Pulse Train Generation using PCI-MIO-16E-4

I need to generate pulse trains of changing pulse widths using PCI-MIO-16E-4 daq card using Igor Pro.
I have tried to use the CTR functions (but always keep getting errors and it doesn't work). I also used the general purpose counters (GPCTR functions) but cannot visualise them on a CRO. If someone can help in regards to the programming aspect, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Vakul

Hi Vakul,
Some questions that might help me to get you a solution.
Are you using Traditional DAQ, or DAQmx and which versions are you using?
What operating system are you running?
When you say you can't visualize them on CRO, I assume that you are hooking the counter out to a cathode ray oscilloscope and can't see the pulse train?
Are you going to need more than two different pulse widths for your pulse train?
There are several online knowledge bases describing how to change the frequency of a pulse train on the fly.
This link explains how to use software to create a new pulse width.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/7B1B0427C39FE33086256CEE00752133?OpenDocument
This link discusses using frequency shift keying, which will only allow you to have 2 different pulse widths.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/EC1F089252F33B248625696E006FB6FC?OpenDocument
I assume that you are writing this program to compile in Igor Pro using C. I can help you with the C code development, but don't know anything about the Igor Pro API.
Please get back to me about those questions and let me know if you need further help.

PWM signal from Accelerometer by using DIO of PIC-MIO-16E-4

I am a new beginner to use digital signal acqusition. The accelrometer send the pulse width modualated signal and I need to use DIO line instead of counter. I wonder how I can measure the pulse width, + duty, and -duty.

Hi Gino,
If you plan to use the digital inputs of the PCI-MIO-16E-4 then you will be limited to software timing since the digital inputs are asynchronous and dependent on software calls. This means your fastest rates are roughly 100-1000Hz (computer dependent). Since you also want to sample a period at least 5 to 10 times so that you can get a somewhat accurate representation of the duty cycle and the pulse width, you are further limited to the signal being slower than 10-200Hz.
However, if this is acceptable then you only need to create a loop and sample your digital inputs at the desired loop speed and perform calculations to determine the duty cycle.
How you would determine the pulse width and duty cycle is everytime you take a digital measureme
nt you also use "Count Ticks (ms).vi" in LabView to count the time between each call to this VI. You simply add these times while the reading is high and you have the high dutycycle. Do the same for low and then add the two together.
Hope that helps.

Does the academic version of Labview 8.5 allow running AT MIO 16e-1 DAQ board?

I just bought the academic version of Labview 8.5. I have an AT MIO 16E-1 DAQ board. I have installed the Labview software. Then I installed the Legacy NiDAQ 7.4. I put in the board and MAX recognizes it. Windows detects the board twice. The first time is installs automatically. The second time there is an error.
I can't find the instrument driver/VIs in the Labview functions pallette for the AT MIO board.
Thanks.

Hello Test11111,
In order to use Traditional NI-DAQ devices in LabVIEW you need to know the device number as given in the Measurement and Automation Explorer. Unlike the IMAQ or NI-DAQmx devices, Traditional NI-DAQ devices do not auto-populate in the channel controls or constants. The good news is that if the device shows up in MAX and the test panel works there then your device is working properly.
There are some Traditional NI-DAQ example VIs available through the NI Example Finder. To access these examples open LabVIEW and go to Help» Find Examples... Then in the top left select Directory Structure; the "daq" folder contains all of the Traditional NI-DAQ examples organized by device and function (analog, digital or counter I/O).
I hope this helps, and please post back if you're still having trouble.
Cheers,
Brooks

AT-MIO-16E-10 must work with Win XP computer w/o ISA slot using LV 7

I need a user manual for a PCI-MIO-16E-1 DAQ card

I am starting research using a PCI-MIO-16E-1 DAQ card that was used by a prior student and the manual is not available. I tried to access the manual online through your websitem, but I was denied access. How can I gain access to this manual so I can start to use this DAQ in my research?

What you need is the E Series help file. Here is the link, but for some reason if you can't get there, the zip file is attached.

Buffer of PCI-MIO-16E-1 acquisition card

I am using a PCI-MIO-16E-1 acquisition card, and in the manual it says that it has a FIFO buffer of 512 samples. Is this the total buffer of my card? (I guess it should be larger). If I take more samples than can fit in the buffer in a single acquisition, what happens to the extra samples acquired? Are they stored in the computer memory?
Thank you

The PCI-MIO-16E-1 actually has a FIFO buffer size of 2048 samples. The hardware buffer size is not a limitation of how many samples you can read at a time. FIFOs are often used on DAQ devices to temporarily store incoming or outgoing data until that data can be read or written. For example, an analog input FIFO stores the results of A/D conversions until the data can be read into system memory.
So, the FIFO on the device will just hold the data temporarily until the computer can transfer the data to computer memory. FYI: When you programmatically set the buffer size in your application, you are setting the software buffer size in computer memory and that has nothing to do with the FIFO size. You don't have to worry about the FIFO within your program. I hope th
is helps.
