PCIe-653x with traditional DAQ

Hello,
we want to upgrade some of our existing system with a PCIe-6536. Is it possible to run this card with traditional NIDAQ?
Does anybody have experience with PCIe-653x with traditional DAQ. Or is it only possible to run this card with DAQmx?
Greetings
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
PCIe boards are generally not supported by the old traditional DAQ driver.
Anyway you should consider updating your application to DAQmx, as the trad. DAQ support is pretty limited (see also official statement from NI below)
"Caution Traditional NI-DAQ
(Legacy) is an older driver with outdated application programming
interfaces
(APIs) for developing data acquisition, instrumentation, and control
applications for older National Instruments DAQ devices. You should use
Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) only in certain circumstances. Refer to the
NI-DAQ Readme for an overview of the two NI-DAQ APIs, the
advantages of
NI-DAQmx, and more information about when to use Traditional NI-DAQ
(Legacy),
including a complete list of supported devices, operating systems,
application
software versions, and language versions. You can install the latest
version of
NI-DAQmx software, available at ni.com/downloads.

How to simutaneously use 2 PCI cards, one with traditional DAQ, the other with DAQmx?

Hi,
I am currently trying to debug a system that used to work.. but sadly isnt anymore
A single computer contains 2 PCI cards (6110 & 6036E). The 6110 card is controlled by a fairly old software, programmed in labview, and hence, using Traditional NI-DAQ. The 6036e card is controlled by a more recent soft, programmed in LV as well but using DAQmx.
the AI/AO of the 6110 card is only momentarily used (20 sec consecutively, every minute) while the 6036E card is continuously receiving and sending data on its AI/AO.
Now the problem: the program that control the 6036E card freezes every time that the old prog access the 6110 card.. and then it works again perfectly until the next time that the 6110 card is used.
So my question: how can I make those 2 cards work simultaneously?
I dont think that it is because of the software nor because of the computer lack of memory/CPU if it used to work in the past. It might be about a wrong configuration of cards in the MAX but I couldnt find anything wrong there (no problem when accessing AI/AO of both cards through "test panel")
Thank you very much for you help.

That's what bugs me. The only thing that those 2 cards share is an AO of the 6110 connected to an AI of the 6036.
For the rest, nothing is common. The 1st program only deal with device1, while the 2nd prog only access dev2. There shouldnt be any problem and everything is working fine separately. Hence, why I was wondering if the traditional daq and daqmx might conflict on a same computer.
I just cant find out why the 2nd program controling the daqmx card just freeze everytime the 1st program access the traditional card. It actually doesnt freeze completly but becomes soooo slow, with about only 2 iterations of the main while loop during those 15-20 sec (instead of the normal 3-4000 iterations during such a period).
The computer specs are a 2.2ghz proc for 1G of ram and running XP, so it should be ok.. even though the computer does slow a bit down when the 1st prog access the traditional card.

How can i write a pattern to a output port of NI PCI 6503 with Traditional NI DAQ 7.0 and Visual Basic 6.0?

Hello, i'm using a NI PCI-6503 (with CB50LP accesory) to write digital patterns to one of the output ports. Can i do it directly from NIDAQ7.0?
I know some Visual Basic 6.0 functions to configure a par as output and to write a pattern to a port, but i don't know how run it.
I've read some examples from "Help" (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\VBasic\Do) but I can't measuring TTL levels on my CB50LP accesory.
Thanks!!

Hello,
What is your buffer size ? The buffer should be 0 or greater than 2. You can get this error if your buffer size is equal to 1.

Is the 6024E compatible with Traditional DAQ drivers?

Will the traditional DAQ C commands work with this device?
Thanks!!

Yes, they will. You can find this information in the ReadMe for Traditional DAQ v7.4.4 (the newest and final version). It doesn't specify the C commands, but they work with the same hardware that the LabVIEW VIs do.

I never used such a configuration but I found an example that will probably be helpful for your problem: it's named SCANsingleBufExtScan and you will find it in samples\daq\ai folder on your hard disk.

Traditional DAQ and SCXI 1530 model name

Hi all,
I am using Labview 6.1 and Traditional DAQ 7.1. I am working on one system with one DAQ card (PCI 6052E) and several SCXI cards(1520, 1530). All the SCXI cards are installed correctly because MAX can detect them all.
I want to make a program with Traditional DAQ which can detect all the SCXI cards and show their model names on the front panel.
I found in Tradtional DAQ, there is one VI called "Get SCXI Information" which returns the model types of SCXI cards, something like, 50, 51....
I found in the help file of "Get SCXI Information" VI there is some kind of the configuration file saying 51 stands for SCXI 1520. What does 50 stand for? Where can I find the complete configuration file or somehow can I change it? Like make 51 stands for something else...
Any ideas are highly appreciated.... Thank you all!

Which traditional daq example will be best for thermocouple temp measurements?

Hi,
i have a PCI 4351 card connected to a TBX 68T connector block which is used to measure the temp using thermocouples. it uses an analogue input from the thermocouples, but the card is only compatible with traditional daq programming.
i have looked at the example finder, and under the folder 'Hardware and software' click the sub folders 'traditional daq', then click 'analogue input' and finally click the 'general' sub folder and you will see a list of example vi's, if you have the traditional daq installed. but i do not know which will be of great benefit to my work. please help.
does anyone know of a good example that i can use and relate to my work and devices? it would be of great help as i am new to daq.
thanks!
Notay

Hi Notay!
Sorry about that, thos sub Vi's are part of the analog in library of daq. Most likely you will only need the traditional daq driver and the correct configuration of your hardware. Im attaching the VI's, keep me updated of your results and if you need something else let me know.
Best of luck!

How to synchronize NI-Scope and traditional DAQ

I use a PXI-1042 System with a PXI-5124 Ni-Scope Card and a PXI-6120
with traditional DAQ controlled by a PC running WinXP and LabView 7.0
The intention of this setup is to make synchronized acquisition with
both cards with different sample rates. For the sake of an example let's
assume the NI-Scope runs at 100MS/s and the DAQ (6120) with 100kS/s. The Trigger is generated by
analog triggering of the 6120. I'm looking for a solution to garanty
that for a STOP trigger with post-trigger scans the last sample of the
6120 coincides in time with the last sample of the NI-Scope 5124 card.
Or to put it in more general terms a way to identify which of the 1000
Samples the 5124 Card takes in the sample interval of the 6120
coincides with the respective sample of the 6120 ? The point is to have
a time resolution (for phase difference measurements) better than that
given by the samplerate of the PXI-6120.

Here you can find an example that shows how to synchronize a DAQ-Device with a Scope-card:

Traditional daq

we transfered a VI to an other computer. (LV 8.0 -> LV 8.0, standardinstallation on both pcs, windows)
there are 5 force sensors, 5 way sensors and 5 termocouples.
force and way with daq assistant, thermocouples with traditional daq.
in the older version where the thermosignals converterted by a poly subvi called
[b]'AI sample channels (single point waveform).vi'[/b]
this sub vi is missing ... the strange thing: it is missing on the old installation too, there is no possibility to transfer it directly.
i searched some samples and here where this subvi also required and cant be found by the program itself.
is this a standard vi? is there a better solution to convert traditional data?
i have no experience with traditional daq ...

when you install the daq drivers (2-3 CDs) I think you have to explicitly select that you want to install traditional daq for your LV version (8.0). Doing so should put the appropriate vi in your LV folder. You should also be able to replace traditional daq calls with the new DAQMX calls but this is more work.

With Traditional NI-DAQ Compatibility VI's the acquisition locks when I press the increment or decrement button of a numeric control.

Hello all.
I´m using a PCI-6220 and the Traditional NI-DAQ Compatibility VI's to make the acquisition that is in the attached VI. But when I click the increment/decrement button on the numeric controls my acquisition stops. In the same PC I made the same experience with a 6040 and I could not see this problem. I tried with the PCI-6220 with the DaqMX VI's and I could not see this problem too, for these reasons I believe that the problem has something to do with the Traditional NI-DAQ Compatibility VI's.
I built machines that can have one or the other board (depending if it is low-end or normal). Does somebody knows the solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hello
For what I’ve seen on National web site, using the “Traditional compatibility VI’s”, it sould be possible to control a NI-DAQmx using code written in NI-DAQ Traditional. This information was obtained from the following NI link:
http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/954feaeea92d90918625674b00658b83/9d67f671bcc6850586256e630059308b?...
Please read this information and then tell me something please.

Problems with traditional NI-Daq after upgrade

I recently upgraded to labview 8.6 from labview 7.1. I have a fairly complicated VI used to run a test rig that is no longer working. I've traced the problem to a conflict between NI-Daq and DAQmx. When I run the Vi I get the message:
Error -10461 occurred at AO Group Config
Possible reason(s):
NI-DAQ LV: The specified resource is unavailable because it has already been reserved by another entity.
I believe the problem is that the PCI-6074 is being accessed by both theNI-daq and DAQmx drivers. I would like to update the vi to use DAQmx, but the tutorials have not helped me much. Since I inherited the test rig from someone who left, and I need to make sure it continues to run, I hesitate to just start experimenting with the vi as I don't have much labview experience. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Hi Tavis,
I believe your problem caused by one device accessed by two driver (DAQmx and Traditional DAQ) at one time. To solve this problem, you need to make sure both DAQmx code and Traditional DAQ code run in sequence and RESET the device everytime you switch between the codes.
Use the Device Reset VI at the end of the Traditional DAQ code sequence, annd DAQmx Reset Device VI at the end of the DAQmx code sequence. You still need to create a Traditional DAQ virtual channel and DAQmx Task for use with each driver respectively

Can I install an older version of traditional DAQ that support legacy DAQ with DAQmx for support of a new card?

I have a LabPC+ that works fine, but is not supported in the latest versions of NI DAQ. I also have a 6024E that I would like to use. I know that the version of DAQ that supports the LabPC+ also supports that 6024E, but I would prefer to use the latest DAQmx with this. Is this possible?

Hi Brain:
Doesn't look like it, the PC+ will only go up to 6.9.3 tradition DAQ
http://www.ni.com/support/daq/versions_legacy.htm
while the 6024E will go up to 7.4.1 traditional or 7.5mx or 8.0mx, dependiong on OS.
http://www.ni.com/support/daq/versions_pci_pxi.htm
I assumed these cards were PCI based.
I am not a DAQ expert, so hopefully someone can verify this.

Can I use a DAQ PCI-1200 with Labview 5.0.1?

I have a Labview 5.0.1 software, and I want to use PCI-1200 with it. Can I do that? My OS is Windows XP, but I can change it with Windows98/2000.

Hello jhylee,
The latest NI-DAQ driver for the PCI-1200 is 6.9.3, which is compatible with LabVIEW 5.0.1. LabVIEW 5.0.1 supports Windows 2000, but not Windows XP (although it may still run).

PCI-6703 on MAX traditional daq but not on daqmx

Im using MAX 3.1.1 (with NI DAQmx 7.3.1f0) and its listing my device 6703 on the traditional daq list but not on the DAQmx. I'm trying to utilize the Express VI to use this card but since it does not apear on the list I can use it. I already tried F5 several times.
Thanks fot the help.
--Aaron

PCI-6703/6704 are supported by traditional nidaq, and nidaqmx 7.4 and higher.
They are not suppoeted by NidaqMx 7.3.
if you want to use Nidaqmx, upgrade to the latest NIdaq driver.

I want to acquire data for multiple channels using PCI 6120 that works on traditional DAQ. I cannot access more than one channel, can someone help me or if someone has data acquisition vi for PCI 6120, please send me over . Thanks

I have PCI 6120 card and I want to acquire data for more than one channels. I'm using traditional DAQ to get it. But it does not work for more than one channels. If someone has a data acquisition vi for PCI 6120. Or some suggestion how to aquire data please let me know.
Thanks

Hello DSPGUY1,
You can definetly acquire from several channels. For your convenience, I have appended below the content from help that tells you how to configure it:
"channels specifies the set of analog input channels. The order of the channels in the scan list defines the order in which the channels are scanned during an acquisition. channels is an array of strings. You can use one channel entry per element or specify the entire scan list in a single element, or use any combination of these two methods. If x, y, and z refer to channels, you can specify a list of channels in a single element by separating the individual channels by commas, for example, x,y,z. If x refers to the first channel in a consecutive channel range and y refers to the last channel, yo
u can specify the range by separating the first and last channels by a colon, for example, x:y."
Hope this help.
