Precise trajectory control with PCI Step Card and triggered buffer

Hello,
I'm trying to use PCI STep 4OX card for precise trajectory control. Every 200ms I'm putting motion tasks into buffer and I'm using external 10ms trigger input for this buffer. For duration about 100ms per one tick of trigger is fine, but I need make change in position every 10ms and it seems unusable.
Where is the problem? What is maximal duration of trigger puls, what max freq. of this pulses ... etc.
Thank you for your answers and suggestions,

The board you are using is quite old and most probably will not give you the perfomrance you need. I would recommend upgrading your board to one of the 7334 series motion controllers that will surely giveyou that kind of performance throuogh their preemptive start fucntionality.

  • 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.

  • RTSI cable configuration with PCIe 1433 card

    Hi All:
    I tried to trigger my line camera with RTSI signal.
    The layout is: trigerr signal  is generated from one PCI card 6259 (Dev2/ctr0). The line camera is connected with one PCIe 1433 card, and the two cards were connected with RTSI cable.
    The problem is that how to register or configure PCIe 1433 with RTSI cable in MAX, it seems I can only configure PCI card within RTSI cable ......
    If it is true, how should I do to rout the trigger signal to the camera, such as "route Dev2/ctr0 to Trigger line 0"?
    Below is printscreen of MAX Configuration. Attached is my VI.
    thanks a lot.

    camera configuration.jpg ‏218 KB

    Thanks a lot, the post helped.
    But I am still confused with the details:
    To camera and PCIe 1433 configruaration, as the attached pictures shows: RTSI is configurerd as Camera Control Line as number "2"; the exposure control of camera is defined as "triggered".
    In previous attached VI, you may find that the IMAQ configurer trigger is applied to define trigger  type as "RTSI", trigger number as "2".
    About ttrigger signal from PCI 6259 (Dev2), digital pulse is generated and output terminal is defined as ctr0 ( seems only ctr0 or ctr1 is option).
    So I still do not know how to route signal from "Dev2/ctr0" to "Imag0 CCL 2" in labview.
    By the way, I read  the online example "LL Triggered Ring using DAQmx Pulse Train", http://www.ni.com/example/29476/en/.  Within this VI,  the DAQmx Connect Terminals VI is applied to route the counter's output to a RTSI pin so the signal can be used by the IMAQ device. However Dev2/ctro is not recognized as scour terminal, only other items such as PFI, APFI or RTSI are avaible, and output signal source is also limited with similar things, sounds like just internal connectrion with Dev2.
    thanks a lot.

  • Problem with discrete graphic card and DirectX 11

    If I try any application to launch with discrete graphic card (nvidia geforce 740m) that using directx 11 it always crashes.
    There no problems with directx 9 on on this graphic card.
    There are no problems with integrated graphic card whether application using directx 9 or 11. Problem occurs only with discrete graphic card and directx 11.
    The things that i did:
    - Reinstall Windows
    - Install latest driver updates (I also tried to uninstall latest and install recomended driver downloaded from the oficial HP support 'driver download' web page)
    - different options on nvidia control panel 3d settings page
    I also tried microsoft 'Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Sample' source code to build and debug. It is failed in function IDXGISwapChain:resent with code DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED and ID3D10Device::GetDeviceRemovedReason returns DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER INTERNAL_ERROR.
    Is there any chance that is not hardware malfunction?

    @Enegue ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum.  In your situation I would consider keeping with Directx 9.  The reason I say this is your notebook is not a performance gaming machine.  It is designed to be fore general use.
    Some cards will notice issues when upgrading to direct 11 from a lower level.  
    Not to mention with your notebook you will want to stick with the drivers only provided from the HP support site.  They are proprietary for the notebook and could be the reason why the directx 11 is not working.
    Here is the link to your systems supported drivers.

  • How to measure frequency with PCI-4474 card

    Hi,
    I'm trying to measure frequency with PCI-4474 card.
    Any sample code available?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting the the NI forums.  There aren’t any example programs that ship with the DSA drivers.  Will you be using this with the Sound and Vibration Toolkit?  If so, there are numerous examples that install with this software package.  Check out the LabVIEW Example Finder >> Toolkits and Modules >> Sound and Vibration Toolkit. 
    In addition to this, you could also use the signal processing VIs that ship with LabVIEW.  There are also examples that ship with LabVIEW that use these VI in Example Finder >> Analyzing and Processing Signals FFT and Frequency Analysis.  There is an entire Signal Processing palette that should contain the functionality that you need.
    I hope this helps.  Post back if you have further questions.

  • Apple Cinema Display 23-inch with PCI graphics card on a PC...?

    My wife has a Dell Dimension 2400 PC along with a Mac G4. The Mac will obviously drive the 23-inch display with no problem, but the PC has on-board graphics which are awful. The only improvement is via a PCI graphics card, and a KVM switch (using the DVI interface on both Mac and PC). Does anyone know of an inexpensive PCI graphics card which will cope with the 23-inch display? Gaming is not on the list of priorities, but page layouts for posters and small (8-page) brochures is what it's needed for.
    The Dell's operating suystem is XP Professional, and the G4's is Tiger. Thanks for any help.

    I got the blue&white G3 w SDRAM/6GB.
    do you think http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DC1P8VA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1& smid=A1EF9OE38VX40W
    will solve this? I believe I need a DVI-D female to VGA male adapter?
    That adapter is for connecting a VGA display to a computer's DVI port.
    If your computer has the ATI Rage 128 graphics card it will have one DVI port and one VGA port.  It won't run both ports simultaneously.
    If the display has a DVI plug, plug it into the computer's DVI port.  No special cable or adapter is needed, but the computer may not support the resolution of the 23".
    If the display uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)
    <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.j pg/220px-AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
    you will also need a DVI to ADC adapter

    I do NOT like using my credit card if I don't have to, and I went out of my way to go buy an Apple gift card, which I successfully redeemed into my Apple account. However, when I use the Apple "Cards" app, it will not let me use anything other than my credit card. I tried purchasing a card, hopefulling it would come out of my Apple store balance, but no such luck -- it came out of my credit card.
    Apple is becoming more like Microsoft every day.

    Hey Packerz48,
    Sounds like you might have an Apple Store Gift Card instead of an iTunes Gift Card.
    You can use your Apple Store Gift Card at the Apple Online Store or Apple Retail Store. iTunes Gift Card or iTunes gift certificates are for for purchases on the iTunes Store, iBooks, App Store, and Mac App Store.
