How to recognize s-series daq card in DAQmx Base 2.0

I installed the "DAQmx BASE 2.0", and then installed 3 PCI DAQ boards.  It can recognize PCI-6024E and PCI-6713, but not PCI-6133.
I followed exactly the same procedure as in the document called "How do I use NI-DAQmx Base with PCI/PXI Devices on Windows?"
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/9C4E9FD0C7469BC286256F100074EADC?OpenDocument
However, there is a web page (the link below) having labview example programs using DAQmx Base for "NI 6110 S Series Multifunction DAQ". So I think probably there is a way to recognize the S-series devices in DAQmx base.

Does anybody know how to recognize S-series device in DAQmx Base 2.0?
Thanks

Alan,
Thank you very much for the quick response.
The reason I explored DAQmx: I want to do RLP and DAQmx Base has a simpler interface and more examples for RLP.
The reason I want to go RLP instead of DAQmx is a long story.
Summary of my applications:
I need to read 4 input voltage (using PCI-6133) and then generate 12 voltages (using two PCI-6713 each has 8 outputs). Since the 12 generated voltages are related to the 4 input voltages, single sample /N channel AD/DA is required. The speed for the overall control loop has to be >100 kHz.
Summary of my configurations:
PIII, 700 MHz CPU, 512 MB RAM
PCI-6133 and PCI 6713, LabVIEW 7.0, and DAQmx 8.0
I also have PCI-6110 and PCI-6024E cards for comparison
Summary for 4 channel single point acquisition (See the table below, AD only)
1) The difference between P3/700MHz computer and P4/3GHz computer is very small
2) The S-series performed worse than E- and M- Series
     Spec (kS/s)   Tested by me(700MHz P3)   by NI engineer (3GHz P4)
6024E   200/4            15.7 kHz                    17.36 kHz
6040E   250/4                                        18.9 kHz
6251   1000/4                                        23.0 kHz
6133   2500/1            13.8 kHz
Summary for single channel single point acquisition (See the table below, AD only)
1) The S-series performed much worse than E- and M- Series (simultaneous sampling is worse?)
     Spec (kS/s)    Tested by me (700MHz P3)
6024E    200/1           54.8 kHz
6110    5000/1           19.4 kHz
6133    2500/1           14.5 kHz
Simulated device          135 kHz
Summary for single channel single point AO (See the table below, DA only)
The spec of 6024E is only 10kS/s, but the loop can run at 132 kHz (the output from the port was not correct for sure). Using a simulated device (either 6024E or 6713), the loop rate is ~ 134 kHz (probably due to my low speed computer). This means the latency from 6024E devices is virtually zero. However, the latency from 6713 is way too much.
      Spec (kS/s)   tested by me (700MHz P3)
6024E    10/1             132 kHz
6713   1000/1              38 kHz
Simulated device          134 kHz
From all the above tests, it seems that s-series device (6133) and AO device (6713) perform much poorly in single point mode compared to E-series device (6024E).  I thought the difference might be due to the driver in DAQmx.  So, I want to try RLP to see whether I can gain up control loop speed to 100 kHz for my applications.
Your suggestions and advices are appreciated.
Thanks

  • Which type of ADC is used in M Series, S Series and C Series DAQ Cards?

    Hi
    I want to know which type of Analog to digital converters(ADC) are used in M Series and S Series DAQ Cards. I know that DSA Cards and some C series are using Delta Sigma ADC. What about the ADC used in non delta sigma C Series modules. Why Delta sigma ADC is not used in M series and S series DAQ cards.
    Regards

    Hi Samuel.
    The ADC type used is Succesive Approximation ADC. You can refer to the following links for your reference.

  • How can I create software start and stop trigger in LabView using 6023E series DAQ card? I don't want to use the external trigger.

    I am using 6023E DAQ card to collect the signals, such as AE, Force, Torque from the machine. I want to collect only some part of signal for example between start triger and stop trigger. I'd like to know how I can creat those triggers in LabView from one of the channels that I am acquiring at the same time. I found one or two library file that is only for start trigger. I know that this is availabe in some of DIAdem functions. Please let me know if you have done some example for this requirement.

    If you are wanting to create a software trigger based on an analog input voltage in LabVIEW, there are several options. One suggestion would be to compare the voltage values from one input channel to a number within a loop. If the input voltage crosses that threshold (is greater than the number), have a case statement that will acquire data from the other channels. This would simulate a software start trigger in LabVIEW.

  • How do I read the FIFO correctly on an M series DAQ card?

    I have a PCI-6229, which I have working with the exception of a bug or two.  The program continuously reads multiple inputs from the FIFO buffer, which is being filled at around 100 kHz.  Every ms or so, the program reads all the values in the FIFO.  To keep track of the input channel being read, the program currently indexes a channel variable every time it reads a value from the FIFO and continues until the FIFO is empty.  The next time it starts reading the FIFO it continues from the last input channel read.  This works correctly sometimes, but other times the tracking system gets off by one then associates the values with the wrong input channels.
    As an example, reading two inputs at 100 kHz the DAQ card appears to read one input every 5 microseconds and put that value in the FIFO.  When the program reads, sometimes it reads an even number of values and other times an odd number.  The program tries to keep track of this, but several unmonitored variables that I'm aware of and several that I'm probably not aware of can lead to my tracking error.  The FIFO filling up is one example, I believe.  Many times when the card is started it is already off by one.
    Is there a way to know what input a value in the FIFO is associated with?  I'm trying to have the DAQ card run continously, empty the FIFO periodically, process the data, and continue this process.  I don't want to start the AI task for 1 ms, read the values, process the data, and restart the AI task for 1 ms if I don't have to.  Thanks.

    You could try using DMA. This thread has a code example and some corrections. I did not have to delete the acdReset, but your mileage may vary.

  • How do I use two DAQ cards in one Labview code? Current I'm getting error " error 200558 occurred at DAQmx Create Channel.vi. One task cann't contain multiple independent devices". Can someone help me?

    The two DAQ cards are NI PCI-6070E & NI PCI-6052E. The Labview I'm using is labview 7 Express and the Window system is Window XP. I'm using NI SCXI-1000 chasis and SCXI-1102 & 1102B two modules plus a feedthrough SCXI-1180. 1102 is connected through SCXI-1349 cable to DAQ card 6052E while 1102B is connected through SCXI-1349 cable to DAQ card 6070E. SCXI-1180 is connected to 6070E through SCXI-1349 adaptor on the back of 1102B.

    Sarah, thank you for replying my question. It seems that I'm making progress everyday (smile). I'm able to run the test using both daq cards in my code now. But as I'm moving forward, I'm getting new questions too. How do I use one STOP button to control both tasks and how can I save data into one single file?
    I attached my code here hoping you can get the specifics on my application by looking at the code. Thanks very much!
    Thanks.

  • How does the PCI-6229 DAQ-card communicate with CB-68LP connector block?

    Hello!
    I want to do a very simple task which is to just turn on/off a LED. I am using LabVIEW 7.1 and I have a DAQ-card PCI-6229. The DAQ-card is then wired to a connector block CB-68LP.
    Now my problem is to figure out how the connector block communicates with the DAQ-card?
    In the file I attached there is a picture of connector block and the device pinouts from the DAQ-card. But how do I know which of pinouts triggers some connector on the connectorblock?
    Which are digital outputs on the DAQ-card?
    Where can I read about this?
    Attachments:
    daqANDconnectorblock.bmp ‏2437 KB

    Hello asc01001:
    The digital pins of the PCI-6229 are labelled as Px.y, where x is the port name while y is the channel name.  For example, pin52 of the NI 6229 is P0.0; which is also port 0, channel 0 of the digital I/O of the DAQ card.
    While "D GND", which are located at pin53, pin18, pin50, etc. are the negative terminal of all digital I/O of the DAQ cards.
    Please advice if this helps.

  • How to use PXI 6071E daq card to complete multichannels scan with high sampling speed

    Sunny;
    As you are scanning multiple channels and the signal range is high, you can try to set the interchannel delay a little higher. The interchannel delay is the time which the multiplexer will take to switch to the next channel. If that time is to short, the instrumentation amplifier can have problems to settle, and then an error at the reading will happen.
    You can change the Interchannel delay at the AI Config.vi.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to control two 6011e daq card to acquire eight signals simultaneously.

    I use two 6011e daq card to acquire eight signals simultaneously .I use labview function to realize it,but the data graph show that the signals aren't acquired simultaneously,why?how to do it?

    Hello;
    You need to use the RTSI bus to route one board's clock signal to be the second board's clock signal. By doing that, you will have the same signal clock timing both boards, which will make the synchronization hardware timed.
    You will need to have a RTSI cable connecting both boards together also.
    The best way to go about this is to open the Labview examples that show how to synchronize multiple devices. You can apply the same idea to your board.
    The examples can be found at Search Examples->I/O Interfaces->Data Acquisition->Multiple Device DAQ Examples.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I know the daq card is collecting data i.e. has been triggered trigger

    I want to alert the user that the daq card is collecting data after he pushes the trigger switch.  I wish to update a message text box when it has been triggered.  Thanks,  PCI-6221 37 pin

    You could use something like this, to ensure that at some specific point in your code a string indicator on the front panel is updated.  After placing the string indicator, right click on it go to Create>>Proprety Node>>Text>>Text.  The string indicator will update to the input of this property node when this sequence structure is reached.  Does that help?

  • Multiple S series DAQ card

    Hi,
    i will use multiple S series card (PCI 6143). I want to thread them as one card (by connecting them with RTS cables).
    How can i program them?  I can't find any example about this
    Thanx

    Hi eesen-
    I'm assuming that you'll most likely want to share a sample clock and/or AI start trigger between the two devices over RTSI.  In order to do this you will need to first export the appropriate signal from the 'master' device, like this:
    theSTC->RTSI_Trig_A_Output.writeRTSI_Trig_2_Output​_Select(trigSelect);
    // Set output select first, then route to RTSI to avoid glitching
    theSTC->RTSI_Trig_Direction.writeRTSI_Trig_2_Pin_D​ir(1); // 0=input, 1=output
    where RTSI_Trig_n refers to any of the RTSI trigger lines <0..6>.  Valid values for trigSelect are outlined on page 388 of the DAQ-STC Technical Reference manual.
    On the 'slave' device you will then want to import the signals from RTSI.  For the ai/SampleClock, you'll need to make this change to the aiSampleStart() function (or just call this method with the appropriate setting):
    theSTC->AI_START_STOP_Select.setAI_START_Select(tr​igSelect);
    theSTC->AI_START_STOP_Select.setAI_START_Polarity(​tSTC::tAI_START_STOP_Select::kAI_START_PolarityRis​ing_Edge);
    where AI_START refers to the ai/SampleClock signal that clocks each sample from the input ADC's.  Valid values for trigSelect are shown in the tSTC.h ChipObject file in the tAI_START_STOP_Select::tAI_START_Select enum.
    For the ai/StartTrigger on the 'slave' device, you need to change this setting similarly as before (as shown from aiTrigger() in the DDK examples):
    theSTC->AI_Trigger_Select.setAI_START1_Select(trig​Select);
    theSTC->AI_Trigger_Select.setAI_START1_Polarity(tS​TC::tAI_Trigger_Select::kAI_START1_PolarityRising_​Edge);
    Hopefully this helps-

  • Using LabVIEW and an E-Series DAQ Card to perform relatively high speed single point acquisition in response to a changing DIO pattern.

    I am using the DIO lines on my E-series card to drive an external multiplexer which switches 1 of 8 sets of 3 signals to channels 0,1 and 2 on my DAQ. I need to acquire the 3 single points of data, do a little processing, then update the mux code before acquiring the next 3 points of data and so on. I have been trying to do this using hardware controlled loops but can only achieve a real sampling rate (time between the same set of three signals) of about 200s/s. I am trying to achieve in excess of 800 s/s. Any ideas?.

    HI CP,
    You are doing pretty good if you are getting 200S/s.
    I believe the only way you can get 800 S/s reliably is to go to LV-Real Time. Not for the speed, but for the determinism.
    That's my idea.

  • Frequency counter with E-Series DAQ Card

    I am trying to measure the frequency of a signal at 0.1 sec increments using a DAQCard-6062E and an AT-MIO-16E-10. I am using a VI from the examples (frequency counter.vi, in a while loop) which works well with the DAQCard, but it's giving wrong measurements with the AT-MIO card. Why is that?

  • Digital ı/o problem in mseries 6229 daq card

    In our lab, we have a 6229 M series daq card. We want to send digital output ,
    ( three square waves and their direction values for driving 3 dc motors.
    We will change pulses or frequencies during application). we tried to send the signals from single lines
    (altogether we need 6 lines.)  but we failed. We could only send pulses from counter ports but
    unfortunately there are only  2 counter ports. Can anybody help us about this problem?
    If anybody could also send a labview 7.x program for this application we will be thankful.

    Hi,
    You can use the correlated dio functionality of your M series board to output digital waveforms. However, you will need to construct the waveform before actually outputting the data. Here is the link to another discussion forum with more information on this including links to examples: How do I output a digital waveform?
