PCI 6025 analog trigger capabale?

Hello
Is the PCI 6025 capable of being triggered by an analog signal? I get this
error while running the demo program
error -10403 deviceSupportError The specified device does not support the
requested action (the driver recognizes the device, but the action is
inappropriate for the device).
Thanks
lvilla

Thanks I found the example for CVI and is sure works. One moe thing, If the
function times out the system becoms sluggish. Is there a way to increase
this timeout value?
Thanks

  • How can I set up a delayed analog trigger on PCI 6115 DAQ

    I have an S-Series PCI 6115 DAQ which I’m running with Labview. I’m using it to measure signals from an acoustic emission sensor and two force transducers. I’d like to set up a delayed analog trigger which will start acquisition on all three channels a period of time after a selected channel’s voltage exceeds a threshold.
    Currently I’m using the AI Config VI in line with the AI Start VI and AI Read VI to capture data after a analog hardware trigger occurs. A software trigger probably wouldn't work because I have to sample my data at 10MS/sec. My setup works fine for triggering without any delay or skip counts. However, if I set the delay or skip count in the additional trigger parameter field of the AI start VI, there is no effect, and the device still starts capturing data immediately after the trigger is received. What is the cause of this, and how can I get around it?
    Also, is it possible to sample the channels of a PCI-6115 DAQ at different rates? Right now, I’m sampling all my channels at 10MS/sec and throwing away data on all channels except one. However, this seems relatively slow and eventually I would like to attempt pseudo-real time control using my data.

    rpursley8 is right about needing to get the counters involved if you want a hardware timed delay in your application.
    Concerning whether or not you can sample at different rate, check this document out.

  • Start Counter Output on a Analog Trigger in the PCI 6259 Mseries board

    Hi,
    My question is regarding how to use Analog Triggering to start a counter in the PCI 6259 M-series board.
    I have attatched a program here
    'Mult_Device_Digital_Analog_Out_on_Analog_Trigger.​vi'
    and I'll explain my problem regarding this program.
    I've tried to include all the details about the program in the documentation for the VI, but what the program
    does is essentially output a set of digital and analog patterns as specified by an end user, and at times
    specified in the front panel.
    Problem 1.
    I wish to start the whole operation on a analog trigger signal, in the program its the boolean "Line Trigger",
    but I get an error saying that trigger type is not supported, when the M Series board manual clearly says it can be done.
    Is there something wrong with my program ?
    Thanks.

    Admittedly, it might take a little time to find the documentation, but it is there. Also, the error you are getting indicates the proper trigger signals to use. In the help look at the analog Triggering Considerations for E Series, M Series, and S Series.
    With that being said the easiest thing to do is to setup an Analog Input task configured to start on an Analog Trigger. Then, setup a digital edge trigger for the Counter task. The signal you are going to want to look for is the Analog Comparison Event. This signal won't show up by default in the list. What you need to do is right click on the trigger source constant or control and select I/O Name Filtering. Then check Include Advanced Terminals. Once you have done this you can select the Analog Comparison Event

  • Is it possible to start a PCI4472 and a PCI-MIO-16E-1 simultaneously using an analog trigger (with pre-trigger)?

    I would like to start several PCI 4472 and a PCI-MIO-16E-1 simultaneously. All boards are connected via a RTSI cable.
    My program works fine if I use software trigger, or an analog trigger from a PCI4472 channel. However, the analog trigger works only when I set pre-trigger (or pre-scan) to 0.
    Is it possible to start a PCI4472 and a PCI-MIO-16E-1 simultaneously using an analog trigger (with pre-trigger)?
    Thanks.
    Ian Ren

    Hi, Bill
    I think it is possible to set more than 38 pre-trigger scans on a single 4472 card. I've done this before. You can verify this by running the Labview example "Acquire N - Multi-Analog Hardware Trig.vi" which comes with LabView.
    What I try to do but without success/luck so far is to start data acquisitions of several 4472 cards and a PCI-MIO-16E-1 card using an anlog trigger (with pre-trigger).
    Thanks for your help.

  • Acquiring 4 channels at 10kHz using PCI-6070E card and Labview 7.0. I need to average a signal that is time-locked to an analog trigger. Is their an available vi to accomplish this?

    I am acquiring 4 channels of data, sampling at 10 kHz. I am using a PCI-6070E board. I need to average a biological signal time-locked to an analog trigger that occurs at about 3/second. Is there a vi that will accomplish this?

    If you are looking for a way to do a "retriggerable" acquisition, there is a shipping example called Acquire N - Multi-Analog Hardware Trig.vi that accomplishes this. However, please note that this example achieves this effect by reconfiguring the task for each trigger in software. This means there is a delay between reconfigurations. If a trigger signal comes during this reconfiguration, it will be missed. This delay is system dependent on how fast your computer can execute the reconfiguration code. The 6070E does not support hardware retriggerable acquisitions.
    However, if you are wanting to acquire continuously and then do some post-acquisition analysis, I couldn't find any examples that accomplish this, but it wouldn't be too hard to build one yourself. Y
    ou would probably want to include your trigger signal as an additional input channel. Then once you've acquired all of your data, in software you can scan through the data acquired for the 5th channel and then segment your data according to that signal. I hope this information helps.

  • Can PCI-6023E support hardware Analog trigger

    I try to use the PCI-6023E to do the hardware analog triggering, but it gives me the Error-10403 while I test with the vi example, Aiacquires N Scans Analog Hardware Trig.vi. Is there any way for this board to do the hardware triggering?

    Jack,
    The PCI-6023E DAQ board only supports digital triggering. You can check all the features of this board in the Data Sheet and Specifications on the Catalog page (see link below)
    2002 Catalog - PCI-6023E
    http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=1063〈=US
    If you need to perform analog triggering, you have three options:
    1) You can simulate it by acquiring continuosly all the signals that you want to monitor including the one that acts as the analog trigger. Compare the value read from this last one with the boundary that is supposed to trigger the acquisition, and when the value read reaches this boundary, you can save or display the data from all your channels.
    2) You could implement an external circuit that will compare the analog trigger signa
    l with the boundary value, and when they coincide, will generate a digital pulse that you can use as a digital trigger. This option optimizes your CPU usage.
    You can find detail information on how to set up the digital trigger in Chapter 4>>Timing Connections of the User Manual linked below.
    6023E/6024E/6025E User Manual
    http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/0C88F40FFE7F28CD862569AE00574AC1?OpenDocument&node=132100_US
    3) Finally, you could get one of our boards that supports analog triggering. The PCI-MIO-16E-4 board has similar specifications that the PCI-6023E, and it has some additional features as well. See link below for more information.

  • Analog Trigger Input - PCI 6010

    Hi everyone,
    I have a PCI-6010. I'm programming in VC++ and DAQmx.
    It seems to be a simple task, but i cannot seem to accomplish it by myself.
    I would like to bring in an analog trigger signal and count every rising edge of this signal. 
    Does any one have already made something similar? 
    Hope someone can help,
    Thanks a lot,
    João Rodrigues.

    Hello Eloise,
    I have made some research and i was wondering if I can input my 2V analogue trigger in the PFI0 channel, i just want to use it as a trigger to ouput a waveform.
    The basic code would be like:
    //Create task  and output channel
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateTask("",&taskHandle));
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateAOVoltageChan(taskHandle,"Dev1/ao0","",-0.5,0.5,DAQmx_Val_Volts,NULL));
    //configure sampling clock and trigger channel
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming(taskHandle,"",1000.0,DAQmx_Val_Rising,DAQmx_Val_ContSamps,1000)); 
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCfgDigEdgeRefTrig(taskHandle,"/Dev1/PFI0",DAQmx_Val_Rising,100));
    //start task
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxStartTask(taskHandle));
    //generate waveform
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxWriteAnalogF64(taskHandle,1000,0,10.0,DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,data,NULL,NULL)));
    In the PCI - 6010 specifications, it is said that the PFI0 channel is a digital channel. Since my signal is analogue, is it correct to input it there? 
    If "no", would it be more appropriate to use this piece of code instead?
    //Create task  and output channel
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateTask("",&taskHandle));
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateAOVoltageChan(taskHandle,"Dev1/ao0","",-0.5,0.5,DAQmx_Val_Volts,NULL));
    //configure sampling clock and trigger channel
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming(taskHandle,"",1000.0,DAQmx_Val_Rising,DAQmx_Val_ContSamps,1000)); 
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCfgAnlgEdgeStartTrig(taskHandle,"Dev1/ai0",DAQmx_Val_Rising,1.0));
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxSetAnlgEdgeStartTrigHyst(taskHandle, 0.1));
    //start task
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxStartTask(taskHandle));
    //generate waveform
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxWriteAnalogF64(taskHandle,1000,0,10.0,DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,data,NULL,NULL)));
    What is your opinion about that?
    Thank you for your help.

When I do a DAQ it seems that PFI0 detects the signal as I haven't a timeout, but it doesn't trigger off at the good level.I noticed you posted an earlier question that generated several responses about the valid sources of an analog trigger. Was there a reason you decided to use the PFI0 option over just telling LabVIEW to use Analog channel 0 as the trigger source? At what voltage level are you wanting to trigger?
    Also, if you use the Analog Trigger examples in LabVIEW or the DAQ examples for your compiler, do you get better results?

  • How do I use PFIO as my analog trigger channel?

  • Ex stream to disk analog trigger

    Dear NI engineering,
    i'm using the example program called "Stream to disk" with a PCI 5112. I was wondering, can i use an analog trigger in place of the software one (like i have done in the vi i have attached here).
    This is because i'm trying to synchronize a PCI 5412 and PCI 5112 (by using two different vi).
    Moreover i saw also the example from your website called "3784.vi" (i have attached it here), but when i start it, it does not do anything. How come?
    Thanks a lot for your help,
    kind regards,
    Gianna

  • Analog trigger 6071

    A simple question for you:
    when I choise analog for the trigger in PCI 6071 and I use PFI0 channel , where I must connect the minus of the signal?
    Thanks

    Greetings delpitik,
    Thanks for contacting National Instruments. The appropriate pin for your connection would be AI GND (pin 76). This information can be found by right clicking on your device in MAX and selecting Device Pinouts. Also, when you create a new DAQmx task in MAX, you can also specify the type of analog trigger. (i.e. edge, window, etc)
    Thanks and good luck!

  • Negative analog trigger voltage

    Hello,
    I am currently working on a program in Labview 6.1 with two E-series devices acquiring data simultaneously.  I am currently using a analog channel to trigger the acquisition.  My application uses a signal that has both positive and negative voltage sources.  Right now, when I set a voltage, the devices wait until the voltage level is reached before acquiring data.  Well, if I am relying on a voltage that is always going to be negative, that value will never be reached.  I guess I need to take the absolute value of the voltage coming from the trigger channel and then trigger if the absolute value reaches a preset value.  Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks a lot,
    Taylor

    Taylor,
    Since you are using an analog trigger, you should be able to set the analog level in the AI Start vi.  I have attached a vi with just the AI Start.vi and the needed settings for what you are trying to accomplish.  Let me know if this helps.  Thanks and have great day!

  • Monitor multiple channels for analog trigger with DAQmx drivers

    Hello! I would like to start a data acquisition of multiple analog channels (16) from an analog trigger. I would like trigger to monitor four of the (same) channels, and trigger when any one of them reaches a certain voltage. I found an example that would work with the Traditional DAQ drivers (using occurances), but can't figure out how to do something similar in DAQmx.
    Time is also an issue, as I would like to collect the first 80 milliseconds of data after the trigger (at a rate of 500,000 Hz).
    I'm using LabView 7.0 and collecting data off of two PXI-6133 cards.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Denise-
    After some research, I have found that it is not possible to use the functionality of DAQ Occurrences in DAQmx. Ironically, the reason that this functionality is available in Traditional and not DAQmx is due to the exploitation of an inherent limitation of Traditional that was upgraded in DAQmx. The multi-thread capability of DAQmx is a major advantage for most applications, but in this case it prevents the use of occurrences as they existed in Traditional DAQ.
    In short, this means that you can't directly use this functionality in DAQmx. You can however emulate this functionality with minimal software analysis of the incoming signal. I have attached a modified example VI that logs data to a chart only when the analog level of one of the channels being measured has exceeded a user-defined reference value. Basically, the task is running continuously in the background but the data is not actually logged until the signal is above a predetermined "trigger" level.
    Please let me know if the attached example is helpful for your application. You will see the input channels listed in the format "DevX/ai0:y" where X is the device number and y is the highest channel number of interest.

  • How do I get a 100 V 100 Hz signal into a NI PCI-6111 analog input?

    I have a 100 volt 100 Hz signal that I want to bring in on NI PCI-6111 analog input (+/- 5V input). Is there some small off the shelf transformer or other type of signal conditioning I should use? Basically I just need to time stamp other analog inputs with this one coming on.

    The PCI-6111 has a built in attenuator to allow up to 42V inputs. In order to read 100 volts you will have to use some sort an external attenuator. National Instruments offers several different modules and terminal blocks in the SCXI form that would accomplish this.
    I would recommend reading through this KB for more information.

  • Can i use PCI-1411 to trigger NI 5112 to capture YUV vdieo wave of DVD sync?

    I have a PCI-1411 ,i can use this card to trigger NI5112 to capture a line signal of CVBS output of DVD. And i can see in the graph just a line's wave. But it seems that PCI-1411 cannot trigger the YUV output.The wave display still moves quickly,not just a line signal. Can i use PCI-1411 to trigger NI5112 to capture YUV output sync?

    A similar question to this one was answered before by an NI employee with an example program attached. Please search the discussion furoms with keywords "5112" and "imaq" and you will find a discussion on triggering a 5112 with an IMAQ board.
