Keithley 2636 measures current and 2400 offers a 3 volt pulse synchronized in a labview program

Hello,
I am not very familiar with labview and I neet a program to realize keithley 2636 measuring current and 2400 offering a 3 volt pulse synchronized.
It means that when 2636 measure one times, 2400 give a pulse. When 2636 measure 100 times, 2400 offers 100 pulses synchronized.
The Channel A of 2636 is used for measuring and Channel B is used for another works.
The attatchment is the labview program I created and it can not be run synchronized.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Lin,
I did not talk about a GPIB (or similar) cable to connect both devices with a PC, I did talk about the special cable for synchronizing both devices with each other called TriggerLink!
Please read the user manual of your K2400, (chapter 11 on triggers, or figure 1-2 for a view of the rear panel). It describes the TriggerLink capabilities of Keithley devices!
RTFM!
Best regards,

  • How to measure current and voltage and rpm with daq device

    i am measuring current and voltage and am wondering should i use shunt resistors or current sensors hall effect sensors. i have a pci 6221 and a scc-68 breakout box. what specifications or size should the shunt resistor/current sensor be or should i use another device to measure the currrent and voltage. do i need any other safety device between the resistors, current sensors and the scc-68 breakout box when measuring the current and voltage. will the daq card pci 6221 pick up a signal from the resistor. what terminals should the wires from the resistors and current sensors be connected to in the scc-68. i am using a proximity switch to measure rpm of a motor. should the proximity switch be 2 or 3wire connection. should it have an analog or digital connection and is a power supply required to power the proximity switch and should it have an npn or pnp connection

    hello,
     i was going to use a 20amp 50mv, or a 20amp 100mv current shunt and connect wires directly into the AI input terminals of the scc-68 from the current shunt would these be suitable. would current shunts such as these be suitable to use http://uk.farnell.com/elc/sh10020/shunt-sh10020-20a-100mv-1-class/dp/1319576 or http://uk.farnell.com/datel/3020-01098-0/shunt-50mv-20a/dp/1339338
    is it ok to use either a current shunt or should a hall effect sensor be used  such as this http://ie.farnell.com/honeywell-s-c/csla2cd/sensor-hall-effect/dp/1082269 . which of them would be more accurate or are both of them fairly accurate.
    when i am measuring voltage can i connect two resistors between the positive and negative of the wires going to the battery and connect two wires from either side of the resistor directly into the analog inputs of the scc-68 and measure the 12-15 volts directly would the pci6221 and scc-68 be able to measure the voltage drop across the resistor.
    i wanted to measure rpm also does it matter whether the proximity switch has 2 or 3 wires and should it have an analog or digital/frequency output for cponnecting to the scc-68

  • How to measure current and resistance if i only have DAQ using VB 6 and Measurement Studio

    I want to do a remote lab for basic electronic lab. One of the task is to measure current and resistance. How to do it if I only have DAQ card and using Visual Basic 6 and Measurement Studio. Can anyone give me a clue.

    If your DAQ device is supported by DAQmx, you can use it with VB6. Here's how: NI-DAQmx Support in Visual Basic 6.0.

  • Measure current and voltage in Elvis and labview

    Hi!  We're setting up a control system setup for class where we need to monitor the current and voltage that we are supplying/drawing from the ELVIS hardware within a LABVIEW setup.  So far, we can accurately display voltage input and outputs from the AI and DAO terminals respectively.  However, we can't seem to find a direct way measure current draw.  I believe that we are supposed to be able to get DMM readings from the AI5 channel, but either we're not doing it correctly, or we still need to place a known resistance across it (which we cannot do, due to variable loads).  Any advise please?
    Cheers,
    Gerald

    Are you using Elvis I or II?  From your post, I will assume it is Elvis I but please correct me if this is not the case.  Page 38 of the manual shows that ACH5 is used for capacitor or diode measurements for the DMM.  To measure current, use the connectors on the front of the Elvis unit and then route the current HI/LO on the protoboard to either the oscilloscope or an analog input channel.  You can use the DMM Soft Front Panel to monitor current as well.

  • How to separate the source and the measured current

    Hi Everybody,
    I'd like to know if there is some way to separate the source and the measured current and just writte an mathematical expression to make a dependence between the source and the said parameter. Thanks in advance.

    Sure,
    Here is the deal:
    I'd like to build a circuit with dependent sources, but instead of connecting the sense of current/voltage, I'd like to know if there is a way to writte a sentence for the source which is dependent of a parameter.
    For example:
    In this circuit I just wrote an expression for the source and its respective parameter. (8*Io).

  • Voltage sweep and measure current for Keithley 2400

    Dear All
    Hello,
    anybody can help me?
    In spite of nearlly10 days i am searchig to find any labview 2010 program for voltage sweep and measure current that works with RS-232, i has not able finde anything exept some exapmle that read single and multiple data. I has tried to learm labview and changed some prorgram from gpib to RS-232 but i couldn't.
    In another attempt i find a good "votltage sweep and measure current" VI that work with RS-232 in labview 5.1.1. i converted it to 2008 but it need to old driver (ke24xx.dll) and dont work in my labview 2010 and I could't find old driver.
    in these 10 days, my project on thesis has been stopped and i couldn't do anything for our keithley.
    Please helpe...
    in following i attached these files:
    1-first it is voltage sweep that works with GPIB
    2-Vi that i change gpib port to visa (rs232) that i don't know why it dosen't work.
    3-it is Vi related to "votltage sweep and measure current" that works with RS-232 but need to old dirver so i can not use it.
    4-SubVi needed to run program of 3 (but there is no driver for these subVIs) has been atached in reply post of this post
    if any body has this program ("votltage sweep and measure current" that work rs-232) please send for me
    thanks in advances.

    The first time you asked this exact same question, you were given the way to get the driver and told that one of the examples does exactly what you want to do. You have chosen to disreregard this and pursue other options for these close to 10 days. If your thesis is stalled, that is really your own fault for not listening to the answers you were given. I have no idea why you would do this but I would suggest you go back to the original thread, reread it. and if you want further help, explain what the problem with the NI driver is.

  • What example would I use to measure emission current and leakage current (voltage vs. current)?

    I need help on measuring current @ anode (emission) and leakage current @ (gate voltage).
    Using gpib config.

    I don't think you'll find any examples that suit, but that's life. It's rare
    to find someone doing the same work with the same kit when more than one
    instrument is involved.
    Keithley should have examples for the electrometer that show you how to set
    it up and take readings via the GPIB- that's the harder of the two
    instruments because it does more. If they're not shipped, look on
    www.keithley.com, since they have a large selection of example Labview
    programs for their hardware- though I know nothing about that particular
    instrument.
    The power supply should be trivial; it should just have commands to set the
    voltage (and current limit perhaps) and switch the output on and off. This
    may be a good thing to learn to do GPIB programming on since there's
    very
    little involved. Check out the example
    examples\Instr\smplgpib.llb\LabVIEW<->GPIB.vi to see how to send commands
    and receive responses. Once you have a program that provides a sequence of
    power supply voltages to your device, then start playing with the
    electrometer examples and making something to read the current. Then put
    them together and write a top level that builds a current/voltage plot for
    the device.
    I assume there's no problem with the physical connections and how to wire
    the test device up to the instruments? That's out of the scope of this group
    in any case.

  • Recording measured voltage and current values from LCR 4284A

    Hello,
    I want to use the labview VI to record the measured voltage and current values from LCR 4284A. These are shown as Vm and Im on the instrument screen. Is it possible to record these values using a VI?
    I have looked through the drivers that are available through the "Instrument driver network" (Link) for 4284A but none of the VIs give any option to monitor Vm and Im. If you know how this can be done then I would really appreciate a reply.
    Thanks
    Mansoor

    I haven't used the instrument but there are functions to enable/read voltage level and current level monitors. Are those different than what you are asking for? What does the manual say about Vm and Im and programatically getting them? If you can find the command in the manual, you can just open the VI Tree and do a text search for the command.

  • Measure ai (current) and ci (puls width) with NI6023 and DAQMX

    Hi I need to measure ai (current) and ci (puls width) with NI6023 and DAQMX.
    My problem is that I can measure the two by them selves.
    But I need to measure both at the same time!
    Is it possible?
    How does the code look?
    J;-)

    Hello
    DAQmx support multitasking operations and you are therefore able to execute multiple tasks at the same time.
    I do not know what software you are writing your code in, but if you are using LabVIEW you should just place the two tasks in parrallel loops and execute them or have both VI's runninng at the same time that are performing the tasks!

  • Increasing Keithley 2636 sample rat

    Hi.
    I managed to use Keithley's 2636A drivers for Labview to measure current Vs. voltage while using the example config and measure.vi
    I could reach only 1 sample per second in this method.
    Is there an option to increase the samples per sec. ?
    Thanks.

    Hey Sagi,
    This will depend on the drivers that are provided by Keithley. I have noticed that they are not certified by NI, meaning we cannot guarantee the behavior of these drivers.

  • Calculationg current and past year for a Analysis report in obiee 11.5

    Dear All,
    Need some help here.
    I am a beginner in OBIEE and need some help to build a report in obiee 11.5 as described below;
    I need to create a PnL report such that I show current years profit and loss AND prior year profit and loss figures in a report side by side for comparitive analysis for user.
    My data is an essbase database, and have a years dimension with values 'current year' , 'F08', and 'Prior Year'. and other measurs such as revenue, % revenue, gross profit, cost of sales, operating expenses etc. (I am using 107 from oracle downloads) for obiee 11.5
    There is another dimesion called time period with members as Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, and each having respective months (e.g. Jan, Feb, Mar for Q1 etc)
    I also have a scenario dimension with members as Actual, plan, Forecast, Wht -if..
    Now I need to create a this report.
    I created this report based on approch no 1 below;
    Appraoch 1
    - Create two analysis reports with all the above columns.
    - specify filter for year column equal to current year for first report
    - specify filter for year column equal to prior year for second report
    - create a dashboard with a promt (radio button) based on column scenario
    - create two sections placed side by side below the promt and place above two reports in those two sections so that they appear side by side
    Nw when I run this dashboard, it works fine, and shows me the current and prior data for actual, plan etc...
    BUT....
    I need to create the same reports using a single analysis report instead of two separate reports with hardcoded values for year filter.
    Now I tried use AGO funtions on but , it requires a column with numerical value so that it can calculate the past year, but in my case year is a column hving text value and hence i cant use it.
    I would like to know how to build such a report using any other variable or function or any rpd level modifitions.
    If I had a year dimesion with numeric values, then how would I use to calculate the past year once u select current year .?
    Let say values are 2012, 2011, 2010 etc. so If I select 2012 as current year, I should get data for 2012, and 2011, if I select 2011, then I should get data for 2011 ,and 2010.
    Please help me to build logic either at analysis level or at repository level
    Thanks and Regards
    Santosh

    Hi,
    As per I understand your requirement,
    In Pivot table, place 'Year' in pivot columns instead of rows.
    Create an SQL filter on Year and put the condition as:
    *"Year" BETWEEN @{Presentation_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}*
    You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
    Hope it helps..

  • Using XY Graph to plot current and voltage

    Hi,
       I'm making an I-V curve tracer, and am hoping to plot current and voltage measurements I'm acquiring onto an XY Graph in realtime.  I'm using Labview 2010 on Windows Vista, with the VISA drivers installed; my acquisition hardware is an Arduino Uno communicating over USB to serial via VISA drivers.
    My data is coming in over the serial port formatted like "voltage,current":
    237,521
    320,402
    I've read through the relevant documentation for the graph builder, the 4 samples included with LabView, and quite a few posts on this forum.  I modified Jazlan's sample VI to read the current and voltage, and display the values on the front panel - it works just fine.  However, when I wire those values to an Express XY Graph builder (and set the 'clear data on each call' property to false) and run the software, it just sort of freezes... I try to stop it, but it keeps running for about 10-20 seconds.  The current/voltage values are not updated, nor is anything displayed in the XY graph.
    Am I not sending the correct input to the graph builder?
    Should I just wire up my values directly to the XY graph by concatenating values to an array, and then clustering it?
    Also, on the right border of my case structure, one of the orange squares is not solid - how do I fix that?
    any help much appreciated!

    thanks for the tip Tim,
        I wired up the stop button to the VISA close block, and now I'm able to run and stop it multiple times without freezing.
    1)  I know how to add shift registers, but why do I need one?  It doesn't seem like I need to pass values from one iteration of the while loop to another...

    Hello kuroshio,
    Current measurements are really just a voltage measurement with V=I*R applied.  Have you tried first measuring a voltage and comparing that to the voltage from your voltmeter?  You could measure the voltage a couple of ways.  I would suggest first using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) test panels.  Make sure your signal is connected to the correct pins and choose differential as the terminal configuration.  Once you have a correct voltage measurement, then you can use a LabVIEW example from the example finder (Help>>Find Examples) to get started with a current measurement.  In the example finder, you can navigate to Hardware Input and Output>>DAQmx>>Analog Measurements>>Current.  There are a couple examples there for current measurements.  You will have to enter the value of the resistor you are measuring the current through.  Be sure to re-post if you still have problems

  • Graph of Measurement points and a charecteristic vs time

    Hi SAP Masters,
    I am currently having a problem and I hope you can help me to solve this. I am trying to create a graph where I can compare one of  my Design data which is in my characteristic against the graph that i can generate from the measurement point vs time graph.
    How can I add the characteristic into this graph?
    And How does SAP know that which two column should be used for the graph? I know It can add a secondary y-axix but doesn't allow me to chose any data for that axis.
    My objective is to compare the measurement point data(movement) vs time with the design data(design movement). I can generate a column graph of movement vs time from the measurement points and I can display it over last couple of years. but if I can show design movement along with the measurement point movement then it is good for us to see if it is more than design movement stored in the classification tab of the Floc.
    thank you

  • To measure current in DAQ should we use rms value or DC avereage value

    to measure current in DAQ should we use rms value or DC avereage value

    i am taking measurement for single phase or 3 phase voltage and current and display it on front panel voltage measurement is valid but doinh with current measurement i suffer some problem should i take dc avg value or rms value for measurement 
    when i take dc average value it give result as i want but doing with rms valur it give wrong result according to my circuit sitution. As, we know in ac case rms value is used for measurement but it give wrong result so guide me in this regard
