Labview 6.0 Vs USB 6008

I have labview 6.0 software and I was wondering if it is compatible with the new USB 6008 data acquisition boards.
Thanks.

No. The minimum version that you can use is 7.0.

Seperate channels from the usb 6008

I am trying to read EMG signals into labview by using an USB-6008. At the moment I have tvo electrodes, and I have successfully managed to get both signals into labview. The problem now is that I want to seperate the signals. I want my program to listen for both signals, determine which electrode is active and perform specific tasks depending on the different signal.
Im sorry if this sounds confusing, I'm confused by it too.

Hi!
I may be wrong but you can create two separate tasks.
The limit is that they cannot run at the same time.
Depending on the application, the use of two tasks or a single "acquire all" approach can be the best option.

How can I make LabView 6.1to detect DAQ NI-USB 6008

I have a LabView version 6.1, recently I bought a new DAQ model NI-USB 6008, I could not use it with my Labview version. Please, how can I adapt my DAQ for version 6.1 or update my LabView to detect my DAQ? Please advise me to a free applicable solutions. Thanks very much

The USB 6008 requires DAQmx which requires LabVIEW 7.0 or greater. The upgrade to 7.x (or the just released 8.0) is not free. The only other solution I've heard of is to use the Call Library Function Node to make your own calls to the DAQmx dll. This would not be for the faint of heart or anyone wishing to come up with a quick solution.

Are USB-6008 drivers available that make it compatible with LabVIEW 6.1?

I'm using a USB-6008 Multifunction DAQ, but it is not compatable with teh version of LabVIEW I'm using, 6.1. I may be able to upgrade to LabVIEW 7.1 to solve the problem, but I wanted to know what alternatives I have. Are there any available drivers or patches that allow the USB-6008 to be recognized by LabVIEW 6.1?

Unfortunately, no. The driver for the USB-6008, DAQmx Base 1.5 is only compatible with LabVIEW 7.0 or newer.

I have LabView Student Edition, how can I make work a USB 6008?

The Student edition it doesnot have many Vi's that there are necesary to work with a USB 6008, I would like to know how can I make work the Usb 6008 with LabView Student Edition

Hello Jorge,
When you say "NI-DAQmx configuration" do you mean the NI-DAQmx Base Configuration Utility? Are you using NI-DAQmx or NI-DAQmx Base to communicate with the 6008?
NI-DAQmx 7.5 added support for the USB-6008. Therefore, you can use either NI-DAQmx or NI-DAQmx Base to control this device. Make sure that you are setting the USB-6008 to NI-DAQmx before trying to use the NI-DAQmx VIs in LabVIEW. To do this, Open Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and select Tools >> NI-DAQmx Configuration >> NI-DAQmx USB Driver Selector. Your USB-6008 should appear in this window, indicating which driver your device is configured for. Make sure it is set to NI-DAQmx before trying to use the NI-DAQmx VIs.
When your 6008 is set to NI-DAQmx, you cannot use NI-DAQmx Base or any of the DAQmx Base examples. Likewise, when the 6008 is set to NI-DAQmx Base, you cannot use any NI-DAQmx VIs.
If you would like to use NI-DAQmx with your USB-6008, please set the driver by following the steps above and verify that "USB-6008" is listed under "Devices and Interfaces >> NI-DAQmx Devices" in MAX.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you continue having trouble with your USB-6008.

Error -200220 LabView 7.1 USB 6008

I have two PC one with LabView 7.0 another one with LabView 7.1 and NI-DAQmx Base 1.4 installed for USB 6008.
If I run example VI for LabView 7.0 on first PC it works OK, but on second one I get Error -200220 occurred at an unidentified location Possible reason(s):
Device identifier is invalid.
Can someone explain me what to do with this error.
I already tried to update LabView to 7.1.1. and drivers to 7.5 but things are getting even worse with it so I reinstalled all back.
Can somebody give me simple VI example for this device (for examle AI monitoring) and may be you can help me with this error.
Sergey.

Sergey,
If i'm being totally honest, I would ditch DAQmx Base and move to DAQmx 7.5, in the long run this will make things ALOT easier.
From your previous post, I'm guessing you already have 7.5 downloaded or on disc somewhere. Install this driver instead. The following guide may help you out:
http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/5F6EEBAF2522C98B862570120052F35F
As soon as you run into any problems, let me know by posting here and I will work through them with you.
One other thing I would mention is that you may be experiencing problems that have arisen due to multiple install/uninstalls, and the registry may have been mixed and that's why you are having the trouble.
Let me know how your getting on and we can progress together!

PWM por USB-6008 en Labview 7.1

Saludos a todos, mi problema es que necesito controlar 5 servos de un brazo robot que ya tengo armado y quiero sacar las señales PWM por medio de la USB-6008, solo dispongo de Lavbiew 7.1, ya genere las señales pero no tengo la menor idea de como enviarlos, por favor si tienen algun ejemplo les agradecería que me lo colocaran como imágen pues no puedo ver los ejemplos de versiones mas recientes de Labview, gracias por su pronta respuesta ya que debo entregar el proyecto antes del 15 de noviembre y es requisito para mi graduación de Ingeniería Electrónica.

Hola Coky aquí el problema es en sí que estás trabajando fuera de las especificaciones de la tarjeta 6008. Esta no cuenta con un reloj interno por software por lo que tanto las salidas y entradas digitales como las analógicas están controladas por software. El control por software lo mas que te puede dar es un loop de 1ms, por lo que en el periodo de 1ms que quieres madamas podrías actualizar la señal 1 vez. La velocidad que puedes alcanzar por software es de 1khz.
Mas que utilizar dos tarjetas 6008, te recomendaría utilizar una tarjeta más completa por ejemplo una que utilice contadores, o una tarjeta mas rápida como la NI USB 6211, que además cuenta con contadores y te permite trabajar a 250kS/s, y el timing interno es por hardware.
Otra opción es que a través de tus salidas digitales controles componentes como un 555 y que con este controles tu servo.
Saludos

Can I use USB 6008 with LabVIEW 6.1 RT?

Hi there,
I've been using LabVIEW 6.1 RT for my applications and so far I haven't felt the need to upgrade.
However, I decided to try the USB 6008 and I'm learning the hard way that this device will only work with NI-DAQmx and apparently not with the latest NI-DAQ 7.4.2 (legacy) In fact, I can't see the device in MAX 4.1
Is there any way I can use the USB 6008 with my 6.1 RT version of LabVIEW ? or should I send the thing back to NI ?
I will appreciate your guidance on this issue.
Thanks a lot,
at

Hi at -
Allisso is right. There is no way to use the USB-6008 with LV 6.1, because neither of its drivers (DAQmx and DAQmxBase) support that version of LV. You'll have to either upgrade to a current version of LV or work with another device. I recommend contacting your sales rep at NI for help.

Making another counter VI for usb-6008 using Labview 8.5

I want to create another counter for usb-6008 using Labview 8.5 as it is needed to calculate two speeds simultaneously.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The best way to do this is to use the counter. The counter counts
signals without having to interrupt the system or use the USB bus.
When you request the number of ticks that the counter has seen, a
request is thrown from the CPU to the USB line to the 6008, which then
asks the counter "How many ticks have you seen?" That number is
returned over the USB bus, goes to the CPU, and then displays on your
screen. Since the DIO lines on the 6008 are software timed, there is
no way to guarantee that the data returning to the CPU is
deterministic. The conceptual difference between software-controlled
DIO (which nondeterministically returns an entire data stream) and a
software-tick-request-controlled counter (which returns a single number
with the number of ticks) prevents us from using the DIO lines on the
6008. The cheapest way to count more edges is to purchase more 6008s.
Another possibility would be to purchase a PCI counter board such as
the PCI-6602, which has 8 counters. The most counters we offer in the
USB form factor is 2 per device.

Controling heating/cooling element with labview and usb 6008 DAQ card

Greetings All
I'm looking for a heating/cooling type of element that I can control with labview and my usb-6008 card. Heating/Cooling will just be for clean water and the temperture range will be from 0 C to 100 degree C.
Thanks
The heating and cooling elements can be seperate products. Any recommendations

A simple kettle element will of course be sufficient for upto 100°C
To get the temperature down you need a cooling system, what springs readily to mind of course is a refrigerator.
Just a note of warning, water and electricity are dangerous bed fellows.
On that note perhaps one of those vortex air units would be safer - they blow hot in one direction and cold in the other, nominally to 100°C

DC motor closed loop control through labview using usb 6008

Hello
i am doing a project in which i want to control the speed of a DC motor (PID control) through labVIEW 2010. I am having a DC motor, a drive unit that regulates the voltage to the motor by getting analog voltage from 0 to 3.3V ( it can be used for both directions) and i also have a NI usb 6008 board. The problem is that i can't feed the usb 6008 with the digital signal from my hall effect speed sensor. Is it posible with this setup to control the motor?? I can also try to use the pulse as analog input and trasform the frequency into rpm's. Then i am thinking of generating an analog signal to feed the motor drive. If you have any further suggestion of a probably better hardware setup would be more than helpfull to me.
Sincerely
Jason Chaloulos

Hello Michael
Thanks for the reply. I came across those topics before and all of them are trying to generate a PWM signal as output i want to use just an analog signal output so timing on the output is not that important i guess. i am struggling on getting the frequency from the digital input signal that my hall effect sensor generates. Since the maximum speed of the motor is 3000 rpm and with my tooth wheel the maximum output frequency of the sensor will be 300Hz which i see its way less than the limitation of my ni board. Is there any tutorial documentation that might help me with this one ? Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
Jason

Does USB-6008 student kit come with a LabVIEW 2009 textbook?

Hello.
I'm taking a LabVIEW class that requires the "LabVIEW 2009 Student Edition" textbook and software on DVD. I want to also get the USB-6008 Module, too.
Browsing the NI Academic Starter Kits, I came across the USB-6008 Student Kit, which says comes with the USB-6008 Module, LabVIEW Student Edition software, and SignalExpress LE. This Kit seems like the best package for me to purchase, but the website is not clear as to whether the textbook is included. Does anyone know if the book is included with the USB-6008 Student Kit?
Thanks,

Hi YTrunner,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments. I can confirmthat the 6008 starter kit does not come with the textbook. You would need to purchase these products separately.
Many thanks,

Error -10401 occurred at AI Group Config - in relation to USB-6008

I'm attempting to run a simple vi that uses AI Aquire Waveforms.vi to input voltage data that I have coming in from the USB-6008 DAQ. However, when I try running the program, I receive the error:
Error -10401 occurred at AI Group Config
Possible reason(s):
NI-DAQ LV: The specified device is not a National Instruments product, the driver does not support the device (for example, the driver was released before the device was supported), or the device has not been configured using the Measurement & Automation Explorer.
And I'm not sure how to fix it. In MAX, the device seems to be working properly and everyhting seems to work fine in the test panel, so I'm slightly at a loss. I'm running Labview 7.1, and installed NI-DAQmx 7.5 which came with the USB-6008.

Never mind. I'm new to Labview, and didn't realize that I could not use the traditonal Data Aquisition components with the USB-5008 (I didn't even realize that NI-Daqmx was different).

Can I use more than one USB 6008 in the same program?

I am working on a project that may require up to six USB-6008 modules. Before I purchase more I need to know if I can use all six at a time in the same Lab View program. Can anyone help?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Nick,
LabVIEW is able to handel that number of DAQ tasks quite easily, however you must remember that USB has a maximum bandwidth. Therefore you would have to ensure that you have enough USB hubs on your PC. Typically there are between two to four USB slots per hub and each of these will have a maximum throughput rate which will divided between all devices attached to that hub. Therefore although you may have four USB DAQ devices attached to four USB ports if they are on the same hub you may notice greatly reduced rates of data transfer. What I would suggest rather than purchasing six or more USB 6008, why not purchase one PCI card which is able to handel many more inputs with a larger bandwidth.

NI-DAQmx 8.3.0f0 installed but Found New Hardware Wizard shows up when plugging in a USB-6008

I have NI-DAQmx Device Driver 8.3.0f0 installed with LabVIEW 8.2 but when I plug in a NI USB-6008 I see the "Found New Hardware Wizard" in Windows XP. Since the DAQmx driver is installed shouldn't Windows recognize the device immediately?
I cancel the driver and I get the taskbar message "A problem occurred during hardware installation. Your device may not work properly."
The USB-6008 does not appear under Devices and Interfaces in MAX.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Ahh, I thought Windows performed an automatic search after cancel is clicked.
I clicked next and allowed Windows to search and it says:
"Cannot Start this Hardware"
There was a problem installing this hardware: USB-6008
The device cannot start. (Code 10)
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device but the results were the same.
Any ideas?
