Ni 435x TBX-68T two channels with thermocouples

Hi everybody,
I'm new to Labview and i'm trying to acquire temperature data; How can I get two Temperature data from two thermocouples in the same VI and display them in the same chart? In another discussion, I've read to write in the "channel string" the number of the channels separated by ":", in my example, "2:3", it's the only way? Do I have to make changes to the acquisition parameters? With one acquisition I'm using this VI (attached);
Thank you all for the patience!

Ok now it works! My problem was also to display them, I solved this with an "index array" that extract column 0 and 1 (0 means channel 2, 1 channel 3) from the 2-D array (scaled data) out of the "NI-435x read.vi", and using two charts for each of the 1-D array in output from !index array";
If I wanted to display the two Temp in only one chart, what can I do? (displaying two different group of points)
Thank you Giuseppe for your reply!

  • Creating two channels with two "daqmx create channel.vi"

    Hey guys,
    I'm perform some piezo measurements and my program has one channel for the input (signal that excites the piezo) and one channel por the output (piezo's response).
    Since the amplitude of the piezo's reponse varies a lot, my program adjusts the range of the acquisition changing the "minimum value" and "maximum value" properties in the " daqmx create channel.vi". Such an adjustment makes no sense in the input channel once the excitation has constant amplitude.
    That is why I need to use two "create channel.vi". I could create the two channels with a single VI but if I did so, I would not be able to adjust the "maximum/minumum value" of only one of them.
    The problem is: Labview always returns the error 50103: The specified resource is reserved.
    Below, we have a screenshot of this part.
    I tried also to add one "daqmx timing.vi" and one "start task.vi" for each of the "create channel.vi" and synchronize everything via error cluster but it returned the same problem.
    The program itself is also attached but I don't think it will be useful.
    Please, help me guys!
    Regards,

    You can give this a try on your Ultimate machine.  While these are said to be for Vista, I used it on my Win 7 machine just fine and it fixed the problems I was having.  Hope it works for you.
    The problem is that Vista, by default, will only use NTLMv2 for authentication, which is not supported by Mac OS X's Windows Sharing service.
    The other problem is the Minimum Session Security for NTVLM SSP based Clients.
    To get around this:
    1.     In Vista, open the Control Panel
    2.     Switch to "Classic" view
    3.     Double-click Administration Tools
    4.     Double-click Local Security Policy
    5.     Or Secpol.msc
    6.     Expand "Local Policies" and select "Security Options"
    7.     Alternate : Type secpol.msc to get editor up then
    8.     Locate "Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level" in the list and double-click it.
    9.     Change the setting from "Send NTMLv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session if negotiated"
    10.     Network Security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP Based (including secure RPC) Clients
    11.     Change the setting from "require 128 bit" to unchecked (No Minimum)
    12.     Click OK
    the real difference between vista and windows 7 procedure is 10 and 11

  • How can I read two channels with fieldpoint and labview

    I'm trying to read two or more channels with the TC 120, and I follow the examples of sopport page, but doesn't work.
    What can I do?

    For more information about reading or writing to or from multiple channels in Fieldpoint, please refer to:
    How Do I Read or Write to Multiple Channels on a Fieldpoint Module in LabVIEW?
    This should enable you to read multiple channels. The only other option available is to use one fp open.vi, multiple Create Tag.vi's and multiple FP Tag Read.vi's.

  • With single trigger, I want to acquire two channel in sequence

    I wanted to observe the sequence of  effects on more than two channels with respect to a single trigger input. And also I wanted to measure each channels with different " number of samples". For example Firstt channel with 10 samples and second with 500 samples. How I can implement this on PCI 6034 and USB 6008 DAQs 

    The 6008 has only very basic functionality.
    I would say to achieve the results you want you will need to add multiple channels to a single task, all at the same rate, and only extract the data you need.
    That way all channels will be synchronized.
    I don't think the 6008 can even do correlated digital-analog I/O or trigger off an input channel.
    I don't have any experience with the PCI 6034, but if you only need 500 samples then the method I mentioned above should work regardless.

  • NI 4350 S1/S2 Switches (TBX-68T)

    I'm using the TBX-68T terminal block with an old NI-4350 USB device for analog input from a pair of thermistors.  The TBX-68T has a pair of switches labeled "S1 S2", which are for the current source(s): (the 4350 has a 25uA source and the 4351 has an additional current source).
    My question is, how are these switched wired?.....(i.e. why do I need to throw both switches ON to get the 25uA current source on the 4350)?
     It works, but I may also have to use the 4351 and I want to know the details of how S1/S2 function.  Originally I thought S1 would be for the 25uA current source and S2 would be for the 2nd current source in the 4351, but I had to through both S1 & S2 to get the 25uA supply.  
    I've checked the online NI PDF documents for the 435x and 4351 and I've not been able to find this detail.

    Hello PointOnePa,
    I will look into this to see if I can find out why both switches have to be used to access the current excitation.  However I believe that on the 4351 you will still only be able to access one of the current excitation values.  Which ever excitation value you select in software will be available if S1 and S2 are switched on.  I do not believe there is a way to access both excitation levels at the same time.  I will do a bit of research and see if I can find any evidence to the contrary.
    Are you trying to access both excitation levels at the same time or just trying to figure out how to access the 1mA level externally?  If you just want to get the 1mA level then you just need to select this in software and turn S1 and S2 to on.
    Let me know what you're looking for and I'll let you know what I find.
    Cheers,
    Brooks

    Hi again Notay,
    The 4351 Device has specific rates that you can sample at for single or multi-channel acquisition. There are six possible reading
    rates – 10, 50, and 60 readings/s in single-channel acquisition mode and 2.8, 8.8, and 9.7 total readings/s in multiple-channel acquisition mode.
    See the data sheet or manual linked bellow for more information.

  • Trying to use the same ground for more than two channels (RSE configuration) with usb 6000

    Hello,
    I'm currently trying to set up a LabView code in order to get readings of voltage using 5 different locations simultaneously. I want to only use the first location as ground and obtain 4 voltage measurements between the ground and each one of the other 4 channels. I'm using a usb 6000 which for now allows me to use the same ground for only two channels. Is there a way to use the same ground for 4 channels?
    Thank you,
    Maria

    You're right it is confusing the way I describe it so I ahve attached some pictures of the set up. The first figure is the cell filled with soil and the 5 probes inserted in it. The anode is placed at the left end of the cell and the cathode at the right end but they do not appear in the figure. I'm trying to use location 1 as gournd and take measurements of voltage from the following pairs: 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, and 1-5. The second figure is the DAQ I'm using. When I was trying to set up the RSE configuration, it was ussing ground A for the channels 6 & 7 (locations 2 and 3 in figure 1) but ground B for channels 4 & 5 (locations 4 and 5 in figure 1). What I am asking is which is the best way to use the signal from location 1 as the ground for all 4 channels. Is this more clear?
    Thank you for your time!

    What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
    After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
    Take Care,

  • Two channels needed with pulse delay. Do you know of a VI for this?

    I want two channels, one with a given number of pulses of controlable length. On a second channel I want a controlable frequency during time the first channel pulse. I want to control the time after the pulse on the first channel goes high that the frequency on the second channel goes on.

    I'm a little confused as to exactly what you want. First, I'm going to assume that you are talking about TTL level signals, so the counters will be used. I'm also assuming that you have a DAQ card available to you. You can control output pulses on one counter, and set up a frequency on the other counter, but I'm unclear as to the relationship between the two.
    Are my assumptions correct, and what is the relationship (in clearer terms)?

  • How to record two channels at once with two mics

    How do you set up and record-enable two tracks with seperate microphones at once?

    Thank you Eriksimon but I'm afraid I did not correctly ask my question.  I am using two USB mics without an external interface.  They are plugged into seperate USB ports on my Imac and I can only access one or the other for recording purposes.  I wish to use them at the same time on two seperate record-enabled tracks so that I can obtain either seperate vocal tracks or a stereo image of an acoustic guitar.  One of my mics is a stereo Yeti but I am not satisfied with the results using the stereo capsule arrangement.  Thanks again!

  • TBX-68T temperature measurement errors

    I am using a TBX-68T with a PXI 4351 card to measure the temperature of a steel plate while the plate is undergoing a TIG (electric arc) welding process. To my knowledge (and based on past experience), the device is connected properly in MAX, with the TBX-68T selected as the accessory. In MAX it also passes the tests. Using the built in CJC and specifying a K-type thermocouple at a range of +/-0.625v, MAX reports temperatures of -80C. The temperature remains nearly the same as the range is increased, but if I change the range to +/-3.75v, the temperature suddenly jumps to 100+C. I used the Measure Thermocouple (with accessory).vi that comes with the driver, and it gives me the same readings. Furthermore, when I initiate the TIG welder the card reads extremely negative (-10e9) temperatures.
    What is odd, is that I have used these devices for the exact same process in the past and it generated believable results. 
    How can I fix the current temperature offset problem? Could I have possibly damaged the unit? Is it possible to use the TBX-68T to reliably detect temperature in arc welding process? 
    Thanks,
    William

    Hello,
    Becasue TIG welding creates a large electrical discharge I am concerned that you may have shorted the card.  What kind of isolation did you use to ensure a separation between the TIG process and the temperature measurement? Because the error is read by both your program and MAX it must be either the temperature configuration or the card.  Could you try to conduct a simple Voltage measurement with the 4351, lets say a AA battery.  You should be able to read 1.5-1.6V.  If this works than the card should be fine, (make sure to test all channels that are failing). 
    If you cannot read the proper voltage on the card, then it is possible that the card will need to be repaired. Please update us so we can help you further.
    Thank you

  • How do I get XLR audio to play in two channels?

    Hi
    I have recently captured audio via an XLR port on my camera and was aware that it is was only on one channel but was hoping to copy the clip into another channel in FCE so it played back on both channels. For the life of me I cant work out hoe to do it because it shows up as two channels (one with silence) and wont let me seperate them.
    Can anyone help?
    Many Thanks
    Adrian

    You can do the following:
    o - select the clip in the timeline
    o - cmd-L to unlink video and audio
    o - alt-L to separate the 2 stereo channels
    o - select the empty audio channel and delete it
    o - open the good audio channel in the viewer
    o - change the Pan control to 0 (from -1 or 1)
    o - now you can link back the audio and the video: select them both and cmd-L

  • How to modify the VB examples in ni-scope to sample data simultaneously from two channels in PCI 5922?

     Dear all:
    I want to write VB programs to sample data simultaneously from two channels in PCI 5922. The niscope driver has some example VB programs to sample data from one channel, for example, the "save to file ", the program works well to sample the data from one channel.  When I modify it to sample data simultaneously from two channels, I always get error so I seek your help on how to write the program to sample two channels simulatenously. Thanks.  I attached the sample program here and what I tried to modify is the "channel name" and "waveform()"

    Respect the phase issue how are you doing the acquisition of the signals, are you doing two independent acquisitions? if you are controlling them as independent acquisitions try to synchronize them with triggers and the clock.
    How much are they out of phase?

  • Can I playback in both channels with my audio interface?

    From what I've found so far I'm afraid the answer is already "no" but I have to ask for myself.
    When I record into QuickTime movie (not Pro) using my Alesis IO|14 Firewire interface, it only plays back on the left channel.
    Is there ANY way to get it to play back on both channels?  (Or is this a sneaky way of urging us to upgrade to QT Pro?)
    I'm assuming the audio quality of my M-Audio Nova condenser mic is better than my iMac's built-in mic, which is why I'd really like to do this.  I don't even need true stereo, just both channels playing back.
    (QT 10.1, on Lion)
    Thanks.

    The mic and interface record just fine into GarageBand, either as stereo or mono, and plays back out of both channels with the same setup, so I think the problem is with QT.
    I don't find any kind of switch like that in the Hardware Direct Monitoring software for the Alesis, but I'll investigate further.
    As I mentioned, I've searched this and other forums and it seems like this is just how QT is set up. But I was hoping for some sort of solution.
    As previously indicated, I am not familiar with your IO device, so let me ask a few questions here.
    1) Is the Nova mic you mentioned mono or stereo?
    2) If mono, are you using two of them?
    3) If mono and you are not using a pair of mics, does the input interface hardware have the ability to blend left and right (mic 1 and mic 2) input channels?
    4) If mono, you are not using a pair of mics, and the device has no ability to blend left and right channels, are you you using an adapter cable to input a split signal to both input channels of the device?
    If you are using a mono mic to input a signal to only one channel of the input device and are not/cannot blend this signal to both channels before output via the Firewire cable, then its sounds like your system is working normally and correctly. Basically, the Firewire audio is sent to the QT app as received from the Firewire device and recorded as is in stereo. I.e., if the left channel is active with the mic signal and the right channel is empty, then the audio is recorded only to the left channel and the right channel records the "nil" signal/nothing. On the other hand, GarageBand is an audio editor designed specifically to blend, pan, duck, filter, and/or otherwise taylor audio content as desired by the user. (I.e., which includes the ability to re-channel a single mono audio channel to both channels of a stereo track during the recording process which the QT app can't do.) In short, both apps are doing what they are designed to do as they were designed to do it. As such and as previously noted you have three basic options here.
    1) You force the IO device to send stereo or two-channel mono audio to your Mac by using two separate mics, use a single stereo mic with dual channel audio output, using an adapter cable to split the single mono mic audio output line into two separate lines to be plugged into both channels of your IO device, or you can apply/blend the active channel to left and right Firewire output channels within the device if it has this capability.
    2) You can use GarageBand to do create and export audio recordings instead of the QT app, or
    3) You can purchase QT 7 Pro in order to fix your left channel problem post recording by simply applying the left channel audio to both left and right channels within the audio track so it will play as you want in any media player on your computer.
    (Actually, there is a fourth option if you are using an external amplifier for playback, which is to simply use the output amplifier to accomplish re-channelization during playback rather than actually fixing the media file with QT 7 Pro.)
