How to make a virtual channel in MAX using DAQmx ?

I want to measure the CJC temperature on the TBX 1328 ( attached to SCXI 1121). I want to create a virtual channel in MAX using DAQmx. I have right clicked on DAQmx but there is no option for virtual channel. Ther is the option of 'Traditional virtual channel' which i dont want.
I used the VI to make the virtual channel but i want to knowhow to doit inMAX.
thanks

Here are 2 ways that you can create a DAQmx channel that appears in MAX.
1) In MAX, right click on "Data Neighborhood" and select "Create New...". Then click "NI-DAQmx Global Channel" (or "NI-DAQmx Task" -- a task contains the channel(s) and triggering/timing information) and click "Next". This launches the DAQ Assistant that will guide you in creating the channel or task.
2) In LV, place a NI-DAQmx Global Channel control on your panel or constant on your diagram. Right click on the control/constant and select "New Channel(DAQ Assistant)..." (Note: You can do the same from the NI-DAQmx Task control/constant to create a NI-DAQmx Task.)

  • Writing in sensor calibration data to my virtual channels in MAX using Labview.

    System consists of a few pxi6713 cards, a 6527 digital input card and some scxi cards (1520, 1104c, 1125).
    Every 3months or so we run a calibration on the testing stand which uses these cards, and the sensor ranges and physical ranges listed in MAX has to be manually entered each time.
    I am looking for a way to do this automatically.  This may be a problem, but we are using NI-DAQ legacy (perhaps if absolutely necessary we could goto daqmx).
    I have figured out howto read virtual channel information from max correctly, but I have no understanding of trying to write calibration information to the virtual channels.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Hi mak90,
    There are no ways to change the sensor range and physical ranges
    programmatically in Traditional DAQ. Under DAQmx, you have Scaling VIs,
    Calibration VIs, Task VIs that allow you to change various settings in
    MAX programmatically.
    Please let us know if you have any further questions.

  • Why does labview forget the connections to the virtual channels in MAX?

    I create a bunch of virtual channels in MAX - some with double assignment to a single AI port.
    Context - a digital output controls a MUX to switch the inputs into the AI ports of my USB-6361(BNC) DAQmx; thereby allowing me to double up on the number of AI ports I can access (switching every 5ms).
    I can run the code without any troubles. I have now completed my hardware set up and and am now testing the integration with the code. This is where things become a little unstuck.
    Problem: some ports, over time, start displaying erroneous data that is not correct. It is not until I delete the virtual channel and re-create it in MAX, does everything settle and work. This 'bad' data is seen in the MAX test panels tab and virtual channels tab.
    What is going on - should I bite the bullet and program all port assignments (channels) within my code?
    Am i mistakenly killing a link between MAX and the DAQmx?

    natashw already told you that it's expected behaviour when you leave the analog input open. There are two aspects to this:
    1) The analog input amplifier is a high impedance operation amplifier. It's minimal stray capacitance is high enough that it gets charged through very small leakage currents in the amplifier input stage, but the high input impedance doesn't allow those capacitance to discharge quick enough to stay at a defined voltage. So your input is usually very slowly floating to one of the power supply rails depending what transistor side has a slightly higher leakage.
    2) You only have one analog to digital converter. To get multiple channels there is a multiplexer than connects the different input channels to this single ADC. When the multiplexer switches between from a connected signal to an unconnected signal those stray capacitance at the ADC amplifier input has been charged to a certain voltage from the connected channel. With only the internal impedance of the amplifier to discharge this capacitance after the multiplexer switched to an unconnected input, the ADC will simply see the voltage that the stray capacitance has been charged to.
    Having a low impedance amplifier input would solve that problem but create many more problems that would affect the measurement accuracy significantly.

  • How do you create a stand alone application using DAQmx when your application SCXI hardware isn't on the computer I am using to create the application?

    How do you create a stand alone application using DAQmx when your application SCXI hardware isn't on the computer I am using to create the application? The DAQmx assitant won't allow me to create a task with hardware that isn't in my system.

    You will need to have at least the DAQ device in your computer to add the chassis. When you add the chassis, don't auto detect the modules. You will have to add the terminal blocks and tell MAX which SCXI module will be connected to the DAQ device. Just make sure you don't test the chassis, when its not there.
    I hope this helps.

  • Duplicating a CTR Global Virtual Channel in MAX does not update the CO.Pulse.Term setting

    Hi, 
    Here is the issue description:
    MAX version: 4.6.2f1
    daqmx:  9.0.2
    Hardware: cDAQ-9178 , NI-9474 Digital output.
    For this module one has:
    crt 0 out  <--> PFI3 
    ctr 1 out  <--> PFI7
    crt 2 out  <--> PFI1
    ctr 3 out  <--> PFI5
    1. In MAX create a Global Virtual Channel as a CTR output on ctr0.
    2. use the Duplicate in the menu to create a second counter output. Change its name, and change it ctr output to ctr 1 OUT.
    3. In MAX, the Pulse Output Setup pane should reflect the change by showing the ouput terminal pointing to the proper PFIi
    4. Export the settings to an INI file, and look at the CO.Pulse.Term settings for both CTR channels: they will both appear with the SAME PFIi !
    5. Using LabVIEW Write a vi that generate pulses on these 2 channels , you will get Error -89137 saying a PFIi resource is already used. If you look at the Task property CO.Pulse.Terminal, it returns the same for both tas, which is the same error seen in the ini file.
    Can someone at NI check this? Thx.
    Laurent
    PS: I posted this message in the LabVIEW board as I did not find one for MAX
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Laurent,
    I verified this behavior with DAQmx 9.1 and a simulated device.  I will file this as a Corrective Action Request (CAR). Creating the channels manually works correctly and produces the correct .ini file.  Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

  • Problems adding virtual channels in Max

    Has anybody had any problems adding new virtual channels to an existing DAQ OPC configuration? We have a working configuration using 99 tags and adding a further tag to bring the total to 100 causes an OPC server failure. Any help or clues would be appreciated.

  • How can I creat virtual channel and traditional devices while my card installed,I can not do?

    I installed PCI-6220 card,and I also installed DAQmx and Traditional DAQ in my computer,
    but I cannot creat virtual channel at the last step(attachment:TDAQ6220.jpg).
    Maybe this is the reason I didn't creat traditional NI-DAQ Device,but I can not creat it.
    (see attachment: DAQ Device.jpg,there is no PCI-6220 on list).
    What's wrong?What shall I do?
    Junwei You

    Hello Rainer,
    You can see this attachment(6024E.jpg),the 6024E card appears on Traditional NI-DAQ Devices,
    but I don't know how can it be created(I don't creat it,we buy the whole system together with the machine).
    I tried create a new traditional Device(I want to confirm 6024E), but still I can not see any NI-DAQ device in traditional NI-DAQ device
    lists. See the 'Create New....' interface.How can do it?
    Thanks!

  • Virtual channel in max don' work whith pci6071

    hello I configure 32 channels in max then when i test the first channel it' s ok.And when i test the second channel in max it don't work the light is red and for other channel is the same, if sommeone have a solution thank you.

    Hi,
    Can you be more precise. Which board do you have? Which driver?
    Did you test your channels during the configuration? The led is red : is there an error message?

  • How to make a Struts message null after used in JSP?

    Hi,
    In the context of Struts/JSP,
    An action class might write error messages by
    ActionError msg = new ActionError("msg.request.something");
    ActionErrors msgs = new ActionErrors();
    msgs.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR,msg);
    saveErrors(request,msgs);
    This message will produce a popup modal window by the following JSP code:
    <logic:messagesPresent>
    <html:messages id="error">
    <!--<li class="infomsg"><bean:write name="error"/></li> -->
    <script>javascript:alert('<%=error%>')</script>
    </html:messages>
    </logic:messagesPresent>
    The problem is that this JSP page is shared by serveral actions: when another action invoke this page again, the previous error message will take effect again.
    So my question is how to make message null after used once by its author.
    Thx.

  • How to make it repleatedly printed out by using timer??

    Dear Friends:
    I have following code to run, When I press R to repeat println, only 1 line print out,
    But I hope to make it continueously print out.
    How to make it repleatedly printed out until I press CTRL + C key ??
    Thyanks
    import java.util.*;
    import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
    import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
    import java.io.*;
    public class CertainAndRepeatTime{
      public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
        int delay = 1;
        Timer timer = new Timer();
        ActionListener actionListener = new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
              System.out.println("Hello World Timer");
        System.out.println("What do you want (Certain time or Repeat time)?");
        System.out.print("Please enter \'C\' or \'R\' for that: ");
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        String ans = in.readLine();
        System.out.print("Please enter  ans=" + ans  + " IsTrue=  " + (ans.equals("R") || ans.equals("r")) +"\n");
        if (ans.equals("C") || ans.equals("c")){
          //System.out.println("This line is printed only once start...");
          timer.schedule(new TimerTask(){
            public void run(){
              System.out.println("This line is printed only once.");
          },delay,1);
        else if(ans.equals("r") || ans.equals("R")){
          timer.schedule(new TimerTask(){
            public void run(){
              System.out.println("This line is printed repeatedly.");
          },delay, 1000);
        else{
          System.out.println("Invalid Entry.");
          System.exit(0);
        System.exit(0);
    }

    The Timer is working fine, but because it runs in another Thread, your program is ending before the Timer can repeat.
    The simplest way to make your program wait until it is force-quitted as you describe would be to make an infinite loop (although this isn't very good practice), like this:
        else if(ans.equals("r") || ans.equals("R")){
          timer.schedule(new TimerTask(){
            public void run(){
              System.out.println("This line is printed repeatedly.");
          },delay, 1000);
        while(true){} //This will make your main thread hang.
        }A better way, though, would be to listen again with your System.in reader until they enter a letter that means quit.

  • How to make smooth line by brush tool using shift key?

    Heya, I have a short question. Is there a way to make smooth line by brush tool using shift key, without that characteristic dot on the begining? I'm using PS CS6 on Win7.
    http://i.imgur.com/orGsIwv.jpg
    Cheers

    The shift key constrains the brush to paint a straight line. Those dark spots you see are from two paint strokes overlapping each other. If the flow or opacity of the brush is not at 100% you can see the stroke below it.

  • How do I import Traditiona​l NI-DAQ Virtual Channels and MAX 3.1

    I installed Labview 7.1 on a new machine and the tools option in MAX 3.1 does not have the option to import traditional NI-DAQ configurations.

    If you have support for Traditional NI-DAQ installed, you should have the option to open a configuration file from: Tools>>Traditional NI-DAQ Configuration>>Set Active Configuration. You can check the installation of Traditional NI-DAQ under the Software tree in MAX.
    Hope this helps.
