Is the AT-MIO-16E-2 ISA card compatible with a Pentium III 1GHz with a 133MHz bus?

Is the AT-MIO-16E-2 ISA card compatible with a Pentium III 1GHz with a 133MHz bus? The system has an ISA slot available but I'm afraid the bus speed is too fast for this old card. Do I need to buy a new PCI card to work in this system?

Hello;
As long as your machine has a ISA slot and that the NI-DAQ driver is properly installed on it, you shouldn't have any problems with it.

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.

Question about setup_MITE in the PCI-MIO-16E-1

I have a quick question about setup_MITE in the PCI-MIO-16E-1. In one of the manuals, it states that if you're using Dell Optiplex GX series for our hardware configuration, is it true we need to re-write the MITE functions to correlate with the hardware? Please if you can clarify what this means, I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Can the AT-MIO-16E-1 output a given current ?

i was just wondering if i am able to output a specified current level by using the analog outputs, with my DAQ

The analog outputs on the AT-MIO-16E-1 are setup for voltage, but you could set generate a related current with external circuitry. This is not a trivial task. If you need to source current, I would recommend using the NI-6704 or a signal conditioning solution. More details about the 6704 board can be found at:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?lang=US&pc=mn&cid=1100
The signal conditioning solution I would recommend would be the 5B39. More details about the 5B modules can be found at:

Can I use multiple PCI-MIO-16E-1 cards under NT 4.0 SR3, LV 5.1, & NI-DAQ 6.5.1?

We have not been able to run multiple AT-MIO-16E-3 cards with NT 4.0, because (partly) the cards & NT are not PNP. Will changing to the PCI-MIO-16E-1 &/or PCI-6071E (64 channel version) allow us to simultaneously run multiple (same type) MIO cards on the same computer? We want to use one card to interface to SCXI, & it appears that the PCI version uses the same cables/connectors as the AT series.

Hello;
The PCI version of the e-series boards have pretty much the same features of the ISA version, the only difference is the bus.
So, you should be able to use the same acessories as you use with the AT boards.
Anyway, you can still try to install the AT boards with NT. The following link is a good step by step installation guide with some troubleshooting hints also. You just need to select the board and OS you are working at.

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.

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:

AT MIO 16E 10 too slow

i find that AT MIO 16E 10 ISA slot make my computere too slow (200MHz) what speed of CPU should be used and how much RAM should be used to maintain good speed

Hello;
There isn't a specific CPU speed as well as RAM that we benchmark as the optimal configuration.
However, since the data transfer from the on board memory to the computer memory is done through DMA channels, the faster the CPU of your computer the better the overall performance is.

Delphi+At-MIO-16E-10 multithreading, also board identification

Hi Everyone,
I've got two questions to ask....
Has anyone done multithreading using Delphi to control a
nidaq card?
Basically, I want to know if it feasible to
output a function to an analogue output channel using
WFM_op, for example, in one thread, while doing data
acquisition in another thread (using scan_op).
Does anyone know of the limitations here?
Furthermore, since we sometime use multiple cards in the same
computer, if would be useful if we could call a routine to
identify which cards are present (and assigned devicenumbers)
and what board type they are. Note that I don't want to change
the board addresses, just determine which ones are present, and set up
the code depending on
which board the user chooses.
I haven't come across a function that can does these things and I'd
appreciate
any advice.
Regards,
Roland

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!

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.

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.
