PCI-6024E or PCI-6034E

Can I use pci-6024e or pci-6034e card to get 0.5mV~50mV
data precision 0.01mV.Can is it work?

Hi Anon...
I do not know the specs of those cards off hand, but I will explain how to figure it out yourself.
Find the range of the board that you will use for the measurement.
Divide the max value by 2^n where n=number of bits of resolution.

  • Implementing a Lock In Amplifier using a PCI-6034E DAQ card

    I am looking for a lock-in amplifier and have read about the Lock-in Amplifier kit provided by NI. I am wonder in is it possible to implement a solution with a PCI-6034E DAQ card instead of the 4472? And if so what would be the limitions of using the 6034 for this application?

    The requirements for the Lock In Amplifier are contained within the document linked bellow. The S series can be used with the Lock In Amplifier but not the E-series.

  • Calculate uncertainty of PCI-6034E

    Hallo, I am trying to calculate the overall uncertainty of DAQ System, which has a PCI-6034E board and an SCXI-1102B. I know about the accuracy calculator and I am trying to check my results using this tool.
    I use K thermocouples in a temperature range 30-90℃ in an ambient temperature of about 30℃, which corresponds to a input signal range 1,203mV-3,682mV.
    The calculation formula is: Absolute Accuracy = +/-[(Input Voltage x % of Reading)+ Offset +System Noise +Temperature Drift]
    At first I set to the accuracy calculator: DAQ device to PCI-6034E and SCXI module to none. Then I set for example 0.001203V and Average of 100 readings.The result is the following:
    According to the E Series User Manual (page 38 gain+resolution PCI-6034E) Absolute Accuracy=0,001203*0,0588/100+ (28,9 +2,75)*10^-6=0,03235mV
    which the same with the accuracy calculator.
    I I set to the accuracy calculator: DAQ device to PCI-6034E and SCXI module SCXI-1102B, then i do not get the same results about the absolute accuracy of the DAQ device.
    Accuracy Calculator:
    Me: DAQ Absolute Accuracy=0,1203*0,0588/100+ (100 +5,04)*10^-6=0,175mV which I a very large number. I assume that the input value is 0,1203 because the gain of the scxi 1120b is 100.
    What I am doing wrong?
    Furthermore, I cannot find detailed specification about scxi-1102b in the user manual (Offset in Single Point and in average of 100 readings).
    Thank you very much,

    Hello Ginos,
    I went over your calculations and you have calculated the accuracy correctly. The DAQ absolute accuracy at .5 to -.5 is .175mV but they have converted this value so that it has meaning to the orginal signal. The original signal acquired by the SCXI-1102B was multiplied by a gain of 100. After this gain, the signal is sent to the DAQ card to be digitized into your computer.
    In order to relate this digitized signal accuracy to the original signal, they divided it by the gain given by the SCXI-1120B module. This is why there is a factor of a 100 difference between the two.

  • Magma-box and DAQ PCI 6034E card

    I had installed a magma-box (64-bit 2 Slot Series) on my laptop. And I installed NI-DAQ 7.1. Than I had plug the PCI-6034E card in the magma-box. My laptop identify the PCI-6034E daq card in the Device Manager; but with a yellow exclamation point and give the Error code 10 (Cannot start the device). The same used with the PCI-6377 card.
    I have tried with the cards in the differend slots.

    Hey Wim,
    I am not sure what a magma-box is. I have searched all over google and I haven't been able to find one. This brings up my next question of how you are installing a PCI-6034E and PCI-6377 on the laptop. National Instruments driver does not support this and I am pretty sure the DMA on the devices wouldn't work as well. The main difference between the PCMCIA devices National Instruments sell and the PCI devices is the DMA channels. If you need to use a laptop I would recommend purchasing the DAQCards or DAQPads that can connect to USB, Firewire, or PCMCIA slots. These devices are supported on laptops. The PCI devices are designed to work on desktop computers with standard PCI busses that allow for DMA channels and ISA based interrupts.
    I hope
    this helps out.

  • Thermistor wiring in cb-68lp with PCI 6034E

    I have a CB-68LP pinout board with a PCI 6034E card on a computer with XP and LabVIEW 7.0.  I have been using type K thermocouples to collect temperatures in a lab and have had no problems thanks to previous help.  I am now going to be moving my temperature collection out doors where I will need to run ~1000 ft of wire to reach my destination.  I want to switch from thermocouples to thermistors to save money on wiring.  I have done a little research on thermistors and there are still unanswered questions.  I know thermocouples connect differentially but I could not find information about how thermistors connect?  Since it is just measuring a change in resistance my guess was that it is single ended but I want to make sure.  That is the main question, if anyone has suggestions on current excitation values or possible problems that I might expect that would be great also.  Thanks

    Gorman,
    With NI-DAQmx and Measurement Automation Explorer there is actually a feature called connection diagram which will let you select your connection block and tell you exactly which pins you need to connect your sensor to, whether it is a thermistor or a thermocouple.  You can actually set up a thermistor measurement in Measurement and Automation Explorer for current excitation and voltage excitation seperately.
    For example, I created a current excitation thermistor task in Measurement and Automation Explorer running into ai0 (channel 0) and I clicked on the connection diagram tab at the bottom.  Here is the diagram that I got.
    As you can see, you just need to connect to pins 68 and 34. 
    There is also an example program that you can download, which is in LabVIEW.  Here it is.
    Hope all this helps.

  • Code 10 pci 6034e

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my LabView and I'm running out of ideas how to fix it. In 2002 I designed a software for data aquisition based on LabView 6.1 using a PCI 6034E card. Since then everything was working fine. A few days ago I had to switch PCs.
    I installed LabView 6.1 on the new PC. Afterwards I shut down the system, plugged in the 6034E and reboot the PC. Windows discovered the new hardware succesfully and installed a driver from the LabView Driver CD.
    Unfortunately my device manager is telling me that the 6034E is producing a Code 10 error. Until now I have tried to install the newest driver from NI, reinstalling LabView and the drivers multiple times.
    The only difference I could encounter betweed the two PCs is that the old PC is operated with Windows XP SP 2 and the new one uses SP 3.
    Do you have any ideas what could cause the problem?
    Best regards,
    Theodor
    Solved!

    Hello Tobias,
    thank you for your reply. I already tried installing the DAQmx 7.0 yesterday evening. It worked fine with the PCI 6034E. Unfortunately I couldn't use my programm any more, because some sub vi are incompatible with DAQmx above verson 6.9.3.
    However, I managed to solve the problem. There might have been a comflict between the PCI 6034E and the computers video card. I deaktivated the videocards PCI port in Bios and switched to on board graphics. Then I uninstalled all National Instruments software, for a fresh start. After a reboot, video card still disabled, I installed LabView 6.1 and DAQ 6.9.3. After inserting the PCI 6034E now, everything went flawlessly. Windows recognized the card and installed the drivers. According to MAX the card works fine and my programm is also running.
    After this I enabled the video card again, via bios. Still everything is working fine. I can't tell you how the video card could have caused the trouble, but one should keep this in mind for the future.
    Best regards,

  • Combining PCI-6034E with NI-4350

    I have an application requiring the measurement of 12 4-20mA signals and 8 K-type thermocouples.
    My proposal is to use a PC fitted with a PCI-6034E DAQ through a TBX-68 I/O Connector Block for the current signals, and an NI-4351 Temperature Logger through a TBX-68T Connector Block for the thermocouples. Can anyone foresee any problems with such a set-up? Are there any unforeseen difficulties I should be aware of?
    Control will be by LabVIEW.
    I am spending someone else's money from a very tight budget, so I need to keep the cost down and to get it right the first time.
    The original proposal was to use FieldPOINT gear but its temperature logging is a little slow.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Ledge,
    How fast do you want the temperature logging to be that FP is too slow?

  • DAQ PCI-6034E for RTX

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to read data from the  DAQ PCI-6034E board using RTX ?
    thanks

    Hi,
    I think you have to write a register level driver for the PCI-6034E to use RTX... No National Instruments driver exists for E series and RTX.
    Below is a link to help you ....
    http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/5978CE4A83119E50862566FA0075F424?OpenDocument&node=13210...
    Personnally, I recommend you to use new M series (similar to E series) because they are supported under RTX via NI-DAQmx Base 2.0.

  • Is there a known conflect between PCI 6034E and 7344

    I just installed a new PCI 6034E and now the DAC on my PC 7344 motion board seems to be putting out non-linear voltages from my position encoder. Does anyone know why?

    LA 75,
    Thanks for your answe,r here are mine.
    1. The 7344 worked fine until I stuck the PCI 6034E in it. I have an update for you on the problem which I learned after more testing. The quaditure count on the encoder is 16384
    I only need to measure -20 to 90 degree angles in my application. When I set up my DAQ channel (using a PCI 6025E which I still have in place) I calibrated based on +10 volts
    out of the 7344 DAC channel (axis 3) = 90 degrees an 0 volts = 0 degrees. What's really happening is that the DAC output is now 12.4 volts and its saturating the DAQ input
    channel. If I recalibrate with 0 volts = 45 degrees I can work around the problem...the thing is I don't know what caused this and what other safety implications there might be.
    2. The new board (PCI 6034E) is in the last slot and the 7344 is in the first slot...in between is an ethernet card and the PCI 6025E.
    3. I do not have another PC to test this thing in.

  • Acoustic Time of Flight Calculation with PCI-6034E

    I'm trying to measure the amount of time sound takes to travel through a specific medium with Labview 7 and a PCI-6034E DAQ card. So far, I have the speaker connected to ctr0 and that generates the specific frequency that I want. I want to have the program run the sound and then stop it when I hit a button and then measure the amount of time it takes for the microphone to stop receiving the sound. I don't know how to use the analog input (from the microphone) to trigger some sort of timing device. This timing needs to be as accurate as possible. Thanks for your help.

    I don't know what your fluid is, but I just looked up info on sonar which gives a propagation speed of nearly 1 mile/sec in water. That leaves you with <30 microseconds to traverse your 40 mm container.
    Soooo...., I don't know if you can do your measurement with a 6034E. It's max sampling rate is 200 kHz or 5 microseconds/sample. I doubt that'll be enough resolution to reliably distinguish the varations in time-of-flight that you're after.
    If you're stuck with the 6034E, you'll probably need to perform the measurement with one of its counters and then build a little external interface circuitry. There's several ways, here's one:
    Use ctr0 to generate a single high pulse with a duration longer than your worst case time-of-flight. Use ctr0_out to switch on a transistor that allows your ultrasonic stimulus signal to get through to the speaker. ctr0_out should also be NAND'ed with a signal to be desribed in the next paragraph.
    Run the mike signal into a comparator and let the comparator's output drive a latch. The idea is to produce a digital rising edge at the instant the mike first receives a significant signal, i.e., your stimulus. NAND this signal with ctr0_out and pass the result into ctr1_gate.
    Configure ctr1 for event counting, set to count 'while gate is high'. (Under the newer DAQmx, the terminology is 'pause trigger.') Software select its source to be the internal 20 MHz timebase.
    How it works:
    Start ctr1 first, then ctr0. On the rising edge of ctr0's pulse, ctr1 will increment once every 50 nanoseconds (i.e., counting cycles of the 20 MHz internal clock). ctr1 will stop incrementing when the mike detects a sound level above the threshold you've set up in your circuit, driving the . The value of ctr1 multiplied by 50 nanoseconds is your time-of flight.
    Then, software reset your counters, hardware reset the latch, change or manipulate your fluid, and try again.
    There's very likely a simpler solution. Anyone?

  • No list tree of device and interface, software in MAX sytem. using pci 6034E and chasis 2345

    Hye, i got the problem about this device.
    I using PCI 6034 E which will connect to SCC 2345 to measure current and voltage.
    My os is 32 bit Windows XP.
    First i install this software, my MAX listed the tree of devices & interface which is PCI 6034 E and chasis 2345, and all download software are listed in tree of software.
    By the way, when i start to measure the current, my MAX is working fine.. but, the problem is starting in the next day, wheni try to measure againt, all the list are dissapear. Then i uninstall all the NI component and reinstall again. Thereare a lot of install and reinstall again and again.. By the way the result is still same. Do not have any tree appear..
    so, any colution for my problem?
    i try to solve this problem, and i read that when the tree of devices and interfaces not appear, it's maybe because we using driver : NI 488.2 , i try to uninstall this driver.. by the way the result is still same...

    sahizansalman,
    It looks like the same is happening with the Software list. This is often a sign of a MAX database corruption. I'd try the steps outlined in this knowledgebase: 
    What is the Process For Removing MAX Database Corruption?
    Feel free to post back if this does not work. 
    By the way, do you know what device is showing up as unknown in the device manager? You did not mention anything besides your PCI DAQ card and SCC 2345, which are showing up fine.

  • Do I really need to create virtual channels in data neighborhood in order to access my pci 6034E?

    Hello all,
    This may sound a little weird, but I would like to know how to configure my 6034E without having to create virtual channels in data neighborhood. Reason being, the data is often lost when users update or search for new instruments in Measurement and Automation.
    I have tried using the AI CONFIG.VI, which gives me all the attributes I need...set channel name, device name, device channel, input mode, sensor/actuator type ect..  When I connect the AI READ.VI the value read back is incorrect. Matter of fact as an exapmle, the power supply could be off and I still read 10 Volts. But when I have created a virtual channel in data neighborhood, the data read back is correct.
    Is there another way to read back data but not have a virtual channel in the data neighborhood?
    Thanking you in advance,

  • How do you control a 20-30A current cource with digital ouput from a PCI-6034E using LabVIEW?

    I know I have to use a relay of some sort, but I dont know how to modify an existing program to turn on a relay using a digital output, take some measurements and then turn the relay off again. Any suggestions would be grateful.

    You're right you need some reley to switch 30A on and off, and maybe an intermediate relay to drive the main one, since PC cards don't have the power to drive great loads (look at your card AND relay specifications...). Depending on the current ouput (you don't say us if AC or DC) and from your application you could use a SSR...
    For an application we are now developing with a 6035E, we have used an intermediate driver (ULN2003) to drive a small pcb relay and use his contact to drive a large relay for 150A DC current. (We tend to use intermediate drivers in order to achieve isolation from the field too, not only for power reasons).
    In the card's manual there is the connecting circuit for using digital pins as output (once you have configured them in MAX).
    In order to use it in LabVIEW you need to use the digital output vi (found in Data Acquisition/Digital I/O palette).
    Be careful while writing your software: some relays are very slow in actuation (I saw contactors for hevy DC current loads to take more than 50 msecs in opening and some time less in closing), and you must consider it in order to start using the output current after the contactor is effectively closed.
    Hope this helps a little...
