Noisy input on PCI-6024 card

I am having a problem with noise on my analog input on the NI PCI-6024 card.  I applied a low pass and stll could not get the right voltage at the input.  Am I missing anything?  Do I need to ground all of the Ai grounds, ground the other inputs?  Any advice is appreciated.

since you speak of AI ground, looks like you are using a Single ended mode(RSE)
I suggest you connect your Input in Differential Mode and see if the noise rejection is better.
But before that, can you tell what kind of signal are you feeding to the DAQ card??, is it a floating signal or a ground referenced signal??
then you can determine which of the following modes is best:  RSE,NRSE or Differential

This links should help you
First try this basic trouble shooting. if the noise is still evident, do get back and we could suggest other techniques to remove noise

  • Why there are self-excited oscillation on Voltage input on PCI-6229 Card?

    hello,
    I am using PCI-6229 card to aquisite voltage from a photo diode.
    I use differential mode to connect plus node on ai21 and nagetive on ai29 of PCI-6229. 
    this corresponding with terminal 60 & 26 on SCB-68 connector.
    But after several seconds the voltage will climb on to the maximum 10V even I leave the terminal of ai21 & ai29 open.
    Is it normal of PCI-6229 ?
    How to solve this problem?
    Thanks a lot!

  • How do I synchronize a pulse output to a sine wave input on a pci-6602 card?

    I have a sine wave from a function generator as the input on the source of a counter. Input frequencies vary from 2-60 kHz. I want to produce a pulse train at a different frequency (10 Hz), but in phase with the sine wave. I have only been using Labview 5.1 for a short time. I am using the PCI-6602 card with a SCB-68 connecting block.

    Hello;
    Unfortunately, you can't connect a analog sinewave to the counter source. Counters only work with digital TTL signal type. To accomplish that task, you will need a MIO board working in sync with the 6602 you already have.

  • Line connection between PCI-6527 card and instrument

    Sorry for my foolish. My poor electronic knowledge prevent me from fully understanding what you explained in your last reply and need more help.
    In fact, we plan to control two instrument switchs, one is for the Magnetic_Suspension_Control(MSC) , another is for control the Weight-changing-Device(WCD).
    The instrument manufacturer provide a cable for the MSC and WCD. The cable looks as follows: there is one connection to the computer(25-pin subD-plug) of which two cables lead away, one to the MSC(6-pin Lemosa)and the other to the WCD(15-pin subD-plug).
    The interface of the MSC is internally realized by using only two simple optocouples(OC). Their input-pins are connected directly to the 25-pin SubD-plug of
    cable as follwing:
    25-pol.SubD; meaning
    Pin 9 anode of OC1-LED
    Pin 7 anode of OC2-LED
    Pin 23 cathode of OC-LED
    Pin 18 cathode of OC-LED
    Because of the optocouplers draw some current from the NI-card, the manufacturer let me make sure that the NI-card can source circa 7mA(better 10mA) on each pin.
    The interface of the WCD consists of three simple TTL-level inputs, which are also directly connected to the 25-pin SubD-plug of our cable as following:
    25-pol.SubD; meaning
    Pin 4 TTL-Input (remote) (0-1V/3.5-5V)
    Pin 3 TTL-Input (weight 1) (0-1V/3.5-5V)
    Pin 2 TTL-Input (weight 2)(0-1V/3.5-5V)
    Pin 5 common ground
    The current drawn by the TTL-inputs is not worth mentioning.
    By controling the logic state of these above pin states through labview, I then can control the instrument switch.
    Based on above information, how should I choose right resistor for achieving the suitable v
    oltage and current on each pin and How should I connect line between PCI-6527 card and 25-pin sub-D plug(I plan to use port 3 of PCI-6527 card).
    Thanks, your help is greatly appreciately

    Zhou,
    My best recommendation is that you find someone who can give you a better and more direct advise in electronic circuiting. We don't have in our hands the manual of your instrument in order to clarify what it needs and where, although you gave some pin numbers we cannot take the risk of advising something that we don't have the absolute knowledge of. We can give you all the details you want about our card and what does it gives, but you have to decide how are you going to connect it to your instrument. If you recall your email about the manual, in fig. 3-6 page 3-12 you can see a picture of how to connect a TTL driven device, in the last email we gave you an option of how to connect the resistor and where, please read it again, basically I am going to repeat the same, we feel sorry about not been able to give you more help, but is opt to you to find help in electronic theory. Remember in my last email that I told you the 3 cases in which your instrument may need either voltage, current or both, and I told you how RL will change and what new resistors you may need to connect. Review that and make tests with your switch, your question about how to choose the right resistor is answered in the previous email and how to connect lines between the board and the cable of your instrument you have both pin outs... match them... the person who has in his hands the manual and the instrument is the best person to choose how to interfase both appliances... we are sorry Zhou but if we advise you about pin connections of your device with our blindness we have of your device we may make a mistake, we told you about our pins and how to choose resistors.
    If you need more direct assistance on this Zhou you may better try to call us, by text messaging is limited and this requires direct guidance. If you decide to call us you can find instructions at www.ni.com/ask hope you move forward in your application as soon as possible.

  • Digital triggering for analog acquisition on PCI-6024

    I would like to initiate an analog input scan when a digital line goes low using a PCI-6024 board. I connected the digital line to TRIG, and the analog line to AIN0. I tried using "Acquire N - Multi-Digital Trig.vi"...it almost works. It acquires a scan, but it may (randomly) start at either the rising or falling edge of the trigger, regardless of the rising/falling trigger edge setting. How do I get it to only acquire data on a falling edge?

    Dear Dave -- If you set up your task using MAX, you can specify whether you need to start acquiring at the rising or the falling edge. Using this task in your experiment should effectively take care of the issue.
    You can do the same from LabVIEW as well using the DAQmx Trigger VI and set the acquisition to begin at the rising or falling edge as you may choose it to be.

  • Upper Limit On HDD Capacity For QS G4 2001 Model W/PCI ATA133 Card?

    Hey Everyone,
    I currently have a Tempo ATA133 PCI card installed in my QuickSilver G4 2001 system (http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_ata133.html). To address capacity issues, I'm considering adding a very large 500 GB, 7200 RPM ATA133 Hitatchi HDD (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822147008), which would connect to this PCI card.
    Does anyone have reason to believe this configuration would cause issues, or if there's an upper limit on the amount of HDD space a PCI ATA133 card can support?
    My feelings are that this configuration will be fine, but I'd like feedback before I proceed.

    Good information bhgdfh! I'll have to reinstall OS 9 it seems to load the firmware, which is fine. If I end up buying the drive, I'll post the results! Meantime, I'm keeping the question unanswered in case anyone else has additional input.

  • Setting parameters for synching pci-6534 cards via RTSI bus

    I have been performing high-speed,
    buffered, looping output with one pci-6534 card.  I am now adding
    a second 6534 card that I need to sync to the first card via the RTSI
    bus.  I have successfully used the RTSI bus to see the master REQ1
    and ACK1 signals on those channels of the slave (seen at a connector
    block), using the "RTSI control" vi.  I simply set the master and
    slave as transmitter and receiver, respectively, over the RTSI bus.
    The question is: Once I have used the RTSI control vi to share the
    necessary signals, do I need to do anything in my "dio config," "dio
    write," or "dio start" vi's in the looping output code for the 2nd 6534
    card to let it know that its REQ, ACK, STPTRG, and CLK signals are
    coming from the bus?  For example, in the buffered pattern looping
    output vi, the "dio start" vi has choices of "internal" or "RTSI
    connection" for its clock.  My master board's code simply uses the
    internal.  Does my slave need to be set to RTSI connection, or,
    once I have shared the clock signal over the RTSI bus, is that
    effectively the internal clock for my slave too?
    I apologize it this question is confusing.  Unfortunately, so is the issue.

    Hello bwz,
    When you are performing synchronization across the RTSI bus you need to specify that the slave device should get its clock signals from there.  You would use the digital clock config VI to do this.  If you look in the example finder, you will find synchronization example VIs that do the same kind of thing for analog input.  To find the examples, open the example finder by going to Help >> Find Examples >> Hardware Input and Output >> Traditional DAQ >> Multiple Device. 
    If you are just getting started developing your application, you may want to consider using DAQmx.  There are many more examples available to look at for this type of synchronization.  To find these examples in the example finder go to Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx >> Synchronization >> Multi-Device.  To use your PCI-6534 with NI-DAQmx, you must have version 7.4 or later.  The newest version is DAQmx 7.5.  You may also want to look at this tutorial about synchronization with DAQmx. 
    I hope this helps!

  • Resistor choose in PCI-6527 card

    I think I need more help for PCI-6527 card.
    Problem 1: In PCI-6527 user manual,page 3-11, last paragraph about the source current. The instrument require digital I/O card can source current 7mA (better10mA) on each pin for activating switch. The switch is TTL(0-1V/3.5-5V)(Which is all information the instrument provided). If I choose the resistor 5K which is recommended in the manual, the source current will be very small(0.3mA) and can not achieved the current for activating switch(10mA). Is my understanding correct or not? If not, how should I choose right resistor value for my current application?
    Problem 2 : for current application, I can use the 5V source board since total current on all channels below 1A. Also I can use gro
    und line of board to connect to DIG- pin for reference line.Is it right?
    Problem 3: Three pins of instrument cable(25 pin sub-D cable) are required to connect to ground line, could I connect these three pins directly to ground line on board or I have to use additional ground lines.
    Thanks
    zhou

    Zhou,
    Answer 1: The formulas for choosing your resistor are there in page 3-11 and 3-12. Your instrument switch is going to be connected to VOUT (DIG+ and DIG-), you have to check your instrument to see if it requires only the 10 mA current for activating or if it requires 5V or if it requires both. In case it requires only 10mA if you perform the formula V=RI, you are going to find that you need a total resistance of 500 ohms, your board already has a 35ohm resistance so you need to connect a 465 ohm resistance in serial but not as RL, in that case RL is just jumper wire (0 ohm) your 465 resistance is in serial connection with the 35R and all of them make VOUT. Just take a note that your switch may be acting as a relay and it may have a coil on it which adds mo
    re resistance, so measure the resistance also of your switch and the sum of 35R + your switch coil resistance + your configurable resistance = 500 ohms, this is in case you need 5V and 10mA in the input of your switch. Check this out because switches may need only to be applied a certain current or a certain voltage but not usually both.
    Answer 2: If you are using the 5V source of the board for DIG+ you have to use the ground reference of the board also for DIG-... if you are using an external 5V source, then you need DIG- to connect to the external ground.
    Answer 3: We don't know what are this three pins for. Your switch must have a + and - inputs, in which you directly connect DIG+ and DIG-, are these GND pins this - inputs ?... if so then yes. If not, then you should what are this GND pins for in your instrument, if they have other functionality most probably you don't have to connect to the board ground, because you are not getting any source from the board, you are only act
    ivating the switches, but I cannot guarantee this because I don't know your instrument.
    Hope this is helpful for you Zhou, good luck!...

  • Not one affordable PCI sound card for G4 & Tiger - NOT ONE!!!!

    Hi All,
    I cannot find any, not one, affordable PCI sound card in Australia that I can use in my G4 using Tiger Grrrrr
    I bought a card ($40 Aust) that had an Mac logo on the packaging - of course there are no drivers for it! How rude!
    It has the CMedia CMI8738 chipset. Sells in the U S of A for less than $10!
    For some reason Apple never put a microphone input on these machine. Yes I know about iMic.
    Even a 2.1 basic card with mic - no, no, no ....

    Hmm what other options is there for the bios on PCI slots?Also anything you connect to the motherboard can have oxidization (I think its that) build up on the connection. Check the connector on the card and get a eraser (Pen eraser is better) and give it a good cleaning. The connector might have alot of build-up on it and you can see it by a dark yellowy colour. I cleaned my graphics card and ram connectors after they got alot of the build-up on them. On a older computer my graphics stopped working and this fixed it. Also I went away for a while (like a month) and came back to see that my puter didn't display anything. Opened it up and saw that the graphic card had alot of corrosion? on the card connector and in the slot. Does that if you computer is turned of for a long time. Had a heck of time trying to clean the slot out. One other thing that it could be is the sound card is faulty. I had an audigy 2 and it died a while back . It picks it up and then try and use it computer freezes and the after restart it's not there anymore. Hope it's not that problem. Hope this gives you something to go by.

  • Ok, so now I need a new eSATA PCI Express Card for my Mac Pro

    I have a Seagate eSata External Drive which comes with an eSATA PCI card.
    The http://www.cwol.com/serial-ata/esata-pci-express-1-ext-1-int.htm site recommends this card: eSATA PCI Express Card - 1 eSATA II and 1 Internal SATA II Port, but it doesn't specify whether it works on a Mac Pro - any suggestions?
    Mac Pro Quad Core 2.66   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi
    I think the Radeon 9800 is certainly the most powerful graphics card you could buy for your G4 and would do everything you need.
    Just be aware there are at least 3 different Mac versions though.
    There's a G5 version, the Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition, which is 8X AGP and has 256MB VRAM.
    There's an older Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition, which is 2X/4X AGP and has 128MB VRAM.
    Finally there's a newer Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition, which is 2X/4X AGP and has 256MB VRAM.
    So long as you get one of the 2X/4X AGP versions, either with 128MB or 256MB VRAM, it should work fine.
    It's perhaps also worthwhile mentioning they do require a separate internal power connection, although this can be taken from a hard drive molex power connector. Also they have a cooling fan which can be noisy.
    I hope this helps.

    You're trying to do two AI tasks on the same device at the same time. You can't do that, because the device has only one AI timing system (among other reasons). Try combining the two tasks into a single task, or chaining the error out of one task into the error in of the second task.

  • Noise at analogue input of PCI-7350

    Hi,
    I have a set up as shown below. 
    Futek Load Cells >> SCC-SG04>> SC-2345 >>SH68-68EP Cable >> SCB-68 >> Analogue input of PCI 7350 8 axis motion controller.
    This set up has resulted in a noisy analogue signal from 7350 with high amplitude spike. 
    I had try connecting the signal out of SCB-68 directly to an oscilloscope, and the signal was fairly clean without the spikes. however, when i connect the signal to AI of PCI-7350, both oscilloscope and load ADC.vi readings of the signal became noisy with high frequency noise on oscilloscope. All the AI ports and AIGND ports were probed without other connections showed the same noise problem.
    Moreover, after the switching on of 24Vdc power supply for the motors, the amplitude of noise became even higher.
    Is there any method to eliminate/minimise the noise pick up at the AI ports?? Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thank you.
    Yanxinix 

     An essential issue when connecting analogue lines to a system is connecting not only the signals lines properly but also the ground lines. Proper grounding of the signal connections is essential. You should be aware that BOTH lines (signal and GND) carry the signal, and depending on the connection of the GND line excessive current flowing through this line on a section between the system and the sensor may cause excessive noise. Much has been written about proper grounding of analogue signals. The most essential rule is NEVER to let any significant current (besides the current generated by the signal source) flow somewhere between the system and the sensor, i.e. NEVER use the signal GND lines as GND line for the power supply of the sensor. There are tutorials available on this issue on the NI site, try this one: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3344.

  • NI-PCI Profibus card and Comsoft

    I'm using the NI-PCI Profibus card with COMSOFT Configurator II tool and GSD file for my level device (radar).
    This NI-PCI Profibus card is configured master and my level device in slave.
    I also use the Comsoft Labview "DFP2_DP-MasterExample.vi".
    I communicate easily with my level device. I get information as the level and distance (cyclic communication, Block module=Analog input).
    How can I do to get the other informations from my level device, the serial number of device, the software revision (acyclic communication) and programmatically change the profibus address ?
    Normally, the software revision is in Physical block, index 8 and the serial number is in Physical block, index 12. But these data are not in GSD files.
    Thank you, in advance for your help.

    Hi ggr, 
    From the cRIO side it sounds like you need a DPV1 connection. That should be possible and is explained on page 22 of the attached manual, which should also be in the start menu. Is that what you are looking for? 
    As to what command you need to send, if you have the technical manual for the device I think we can figure it out from that. Do you have a manual?

  • Acquiring signal from PCI 1428 card

    Hi,
    I'm new to labview and been tryig to acquire the trigger signal from the PCI 1428 card. Is there anyway to acquire the trigger signal internally without using an external cable (breakout cable)? Can labview acquire this signal without using the external DAQ card?

    Hello DjBiomed,
    It may help if you can provide more information regarding your application.  What are you ultimately trying to do with this trigger signal?   With the 1428 trigger line, it needs to be wired to something (either externally or through RTSI).  LabVIEW cannot automatically detect this unless it is connected.  You can look at the trigger examples that come shipped with the driver in the LabVIEW Example Finder for a better understanding.  They can be found on the browse tab under Hardware Input and Output >> IMAQ >> Signal Input and Output.   I hope this helps.

  • Multi-port​, bi direction DIO on older PCI-1200 card

    Hopefully this is a simple request. I simply want to designate one of the (3) ports on a PCI-1200 card as an output port, and another as an input port. I seem to be able to do one or the other, but cannot initialize both. I'm attempting to run the dio_config to get (2) task id's. I'm beginning to think this isn't the correct approach. However, I haven't come across any examples where more than one port is initialized; one for output, one for input. Help!
    Thanks,
    -C

    Hello C,
    The problem you are having is probably due to the fact that when you configure one port, it resets the other. I�m attaching an example that shows how to configure all three ports without having them reset each other. The example sets them all the write, but should work when one is set to read.
    If none of these suggestions help, or if I�m not correctly understanding your issue, please post the software and versions you are using, the applicable portions of your code, and any other information that may help, and I�ll be happy to look further into it.
    Please let me know if this example doesn�t work for you, and have a nice day!
