Sending analog signals using SCXI bus to SCXI-1600 for digitizing

I want to measure a signal generated in the SCXI-1181 custom bread board module.
Is it possible to send the signal using SCXI bus to SCXI-1600.
The signal is less than +5V & is positive.
Is it possible to use AB0+ & ABO- in SCXI bus for this purpose?
I have a SCXI-1001 chassis installed with SCXI-1600 in slot 1 & SCXI-1181 in slot 2.
I have 4 more switch modules (SCXI-1160s) installed from slot 3 to 6.
Will the above has an interference when you want to control the switches?

Reading analog signal using DAQPad-6016

I'm trying to read an analog signal using DAQPad-6016. One input is ground, the other is Vdc. I can't get it to work in MAX and I'm confused becaue MAX only gives me an option for differential reading, but the pinouts don't give enough information on how to connect differentially. Is there a reference as well?
Solved!

Hello Bernadette,
This link should have everything you need to get set up correctly: http://www.ni.com/gettingstarted/setuphardware/dataacquisition/analogvoltage.htm
After you have a task set up, specifically see step 11 to verify the connections to the device.
I hope this helps!

Triggering an analog signal using USB6008

Hi I'm trying to use the start trigger with DAQmxBase acquiring analog signals with the USB 6008.
When i configure the trigger as Start Digital Edge I become an answer, but only starting at an rising edge.
I want the acquisition to start at a define level, so I've tried with Start Analog Edge, but the acquisition is stopped.
Can someone help me how to configure better than i do?
Thanks.

Hi!
It's not possible to configure an analog trigger with an USB 6008 -> only digital trigger is available!
If you want to start on a predefined level then is the only option to do this with an analog-software trigger!

Generate analog signal using samples fpga

Hi,
I have 20 samples of (time,data). using these samples i need to write data to AO channel in FPGA card. Here the data should be written to a channel w.r.t time. i need to generate signal(ramp) based on time and data available.
for example -
time( in seconds) - 0 0.01 0.04 0.05 0.07 ...
data - 0 1.0 3.2 2.5 1.3 ...
Please suggest me best way to achive this.
Thank you,
Ranjith

Keep all ur samples in a array and auto index the array to a for loop, Inside the for loop put a wait timer and give the dt as input(t2-t1) to the timer. Inside the loop connect the auto indexed output to the A0 Channel.

How do I eliminate noise in an analog signal using a filter?

I have noise in a 0 to 5 volt signal. I am attaching a sample vi that when I run it Whatever My number is going in is different when it goes through the filter why is this?
Attachments:
Filter_Example.vi ‏32 KB

A correct filter type to get rid of noise is a low pass filter. Very basicly it takes the previous value(s) and calculates new value(s). So if the previous value is 0 and the next one is 100 it will probaly come out with something like 50, 50.
In your vi you take a single sample of several parallel channels into one array and present it as input to the filter vi. But this vi takes it as a sequence (in time) of one single reading and tries to compare them to each other.
You might rather want something like a sliding average.
Initialize an array (of e.g. ten) with zeros and in a loop replace one element after the other with a new reading. At the end restart from the beginning. Take an average of the readings and the result will reflect
the last (ten) samples.

I'm using MAM-A blank CD-R for digital audio and I would like to know which speed do I set to so I can get the best sound?Thanks Joe

When making new digital audio cd's which burn speed is best used with MAM-A 74min/650mb digital audio CD-R's?Thanks Joe

In theory, the slowest speed should result in the most accurate duplication (best sound). This will take much longer than if you were to use use faster speeds and whether that in practical terms is necessary is debatable. Remember, the quality of the disc will be no better than the source material.
Ciao.
PS: You may wish to experiment by making disks at different speeds and listen to them if can detect difference between them.

Synchronize Motion velocity with DAQ analog signal

Hi Everybody
I am acquiring analog signals using hw trigger and external clock with C and A signals of a 1024 counts TTL encoder.
Now I want to measure the rotation speed of a shaft. I have a Flex-Motion board with which I want to read the velocity (or the same encoder), but I don't know how to synchronize each scan of the analog signals with the velocity signal for that instant.
I can´t use RTSI bus because my Motion board doesn´t have RTSI connector.
Software and hardware:
LabView 6i (v. 6.0.1.b3)
DAQ-Board: PCI-6023E, NI-DAQ 6.8.1, MAX 2.0
Motion board: PCI-FlexMotion-6C, NI-FlexMotion 5.0.1
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi chia,
with the hardware configuration that you have, I think it´s not posible to synchronize both boards due to you cannot share the same clock source (not RTSI on the motion board).

How do I use a counter to measure frequency and multiple analog signals in the same VI?

I have a PCI-6071E, an SC-2345 with multiple modules, and a PXI-8184 (with a PXI-1002 Chassis).
My goal is to monitor pressures, flows, temperatures, and speed in one VI.
I am using Measurement and Automation Explorer version 3.1.1.3004 to manage my channels.
My speed is a PWM signal which I recently rewired through the counter 0 of my board.
I was hoping to configure this to read frequency directly in measurment
and automation, have this scale the value to RPM, and then feed it
directly in to my labView program.
In labView, it will not except this signal though.
I get error -200300 from the DAQmx Start Task.vi
Possible reasons(s):
Invalid timing type for this channel.
Property: SampTimingType
You Have Requested: Sample Clock
You Can Select: Implicit, On Demand
After doing some research, it seems that the counter wants "Implicit"
selected for the DAQmx Start Task.vi, but then I cannot use my other
channels. Also, counter is included in the "Sample Clock" option
description, so I do not understand why it is not working.
Does anyone know how to work around this problem or a way to configure the counter so that it will work in this way?
All my other channels are Analog.
Thank you.

I am working on getting just the counter working by using
the program posted previously, and I am running into issues. Periodically I get
the error:
Error -200141
occurred at DAQmx Read (Counter DBL 1Chan 1Samp).vi
Possible reason(s):
Data was overwritten
before it could be read by the system.
If Data Transfer
Mechanism is Interrupts, try using DMA. Otherwise, divide the input signal
before taking the measurement.
It seems to work better if I use cascaded counters, but I need timer 0 for
analog channels when I run this code along with the program for the other
measurements.
I have tried averaging, and selecting different values for the millisecond
timer, and these did not seem to have an effect.
I tried different DAQms configurations and "Counter DBL 1Samp" seemed
to work the best.
The program will work for a while and then it will give me the above error
message.
If I use counter 0 as a cascaded counter input, the program runs fine. If I run
this with other analog channels, it errors out because the analog channels use
counter 0.
If I use counter 1 as a cascaded counter input, it seems to work better than a
single channel, but it will still error out with the above error.
If I use only counter 1, I get the error above even faster.
Also, none of the
configurations give measurements outside the While Loop.
The only place I can add a speed dial for the front panel is within the While
Loop.
Is there someway to get the signal to continuously send out of the while loop?
I thought if I could get the signal out of the while loop, I could condition it
anyway I wanted without the program erroring out.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

How to acquire analog signal and send a TTL pulse at the same time based on PXI 6123

Hi,
I am using a PXI-6123 data acquisition card, as the picture show in the attachment ,I want to acquire the analog signal of ai0 through reference analog window and at the same time send a TTL signal to trigger my camera. I have tried two methods, one is using the DAQmx Export signal.vi another is using DAQmx connect terminals, but when the data acquisition card acquire the analog signal, the DAQmx Export signal.vi and the DAQmx connect terminals sometime can send an TTL pulse ,sometime can not.
I don’t know why? or some other method that can achieve my arm is appreciated.

Hi,
Have things changed over the years?
I need to syncronise a digital output (Modul NI9474) and an analoge input (AI-Modul NI9203) module. I need to measure time intervals from a flank in signal A to a flank in signal B. I would like accuracies of the order of 1 ms. Currently, the signals are not synchronised, with errors of the order of 2 times the block length (block size x sample rate), sometimes much higher. The best I got so far was a block size of around 20 with a sample rate of 1 kHz.
If I use the master and slave settings on the RTSL settings, my program doesn't run properly.
If I use digital signals for input and output, I can syncronise them with RTSL settings and everything is good, but I can't always do that.
Also, if I do anything in the GUI (such as scrollowing something or going to another window), my output gets screwed up properly.
1. What can be done to synchronise AI with DO?
2. Is there something that can be done to avoid messing up the output when something happens in the user interface? (I know that I am messing up the outputs as they make some valves switch and that is loud).
Thanks in advance!

My Mac Mini was not sending a signal to the monitor. I powered down using the power button and now it will not start. When i power up I get a strange 2 tone sound, like a warning alarm. The fan starts, and the light comes on, but no screen

I have tried with a wired USB keyboard and mouse using a single screen. Powered up with option pressed. No change.
Reset SMC no change

Run the Apple hardware test to see what it tells you. Run the extended test when prompted, which can take awhile.

Why use FIFO to read analog signal?

Why must we use FIFO to obtain analog signal from FPGA? I can use a normal method of calling the FPGA using Read/Write Control and the results in a waveform chart is much more smoother.

I've uploaded 2 real-time VIs with and without FIFO. MQ convert is the subVI in my computer. Do have a look at it...
My waveform chart is done that way so that I can easily export to excel ( i think) but this is a different problem in a different topic http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/3-Waveform-Chart-to-a-Single-Excel-but-in-Different-Spreadsheet/m-p/...

How do i send an analog signal to trigger another program

I am trying to send out an analog signal from labView that will start Bioware. How can I do this?

Hi Orbz,
There are 3 Send modes in Logic:
• Pre Fader (original signal is sent before it reaches the channel strip's fader etc.
• Post Fader (sent before volume fader adjustments)
• Post Pan (send before volume fader and Pan/Balance adjustments).
Click and hold on the Send slot in your synth channel strip and select Post Pan fro the drop-down menu.
Funnily enough I've just finished writing a tutorial about this very topic!! It's not published yet, but will appear on the macProVideo.com blog in the coming days...

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

Is PCI-6036E suitable for me to send out analog signal to controll a device?

Hello
I need to controll and generate an analog signal to control a nanopositioning stage and I would like to know which one will be better using PCI-7344 board through UMI-7764 or using PCI-6036E board through SCC-68 I/O connector. additional question, I have actualy four wiring pigtailed with LEMO connector, the LEMO connector have two PINs which will be connected to the device, and the 4 wires which will be connected to the signal conditioner, the two pins Ain+ and Ain- with respect to the device, the other 2 wires one is the shield ground and the other one is ground also, the device is CGND, shall I connect the only two differential wires which will be connected in the analog out at the UMI-7764 snd the other one in AOGND at UMI-7764, and the other 2 will be ignored. please may I get any help or advice with full of thanks.

The XXXXX's means it's recording sys-ex information from somewhere, probably from your Yamaha. It also means you're probably recording onto an audio instrument track, or a MIDI track, not an audio track.
Without assuming too much on my end, I would suggest, obviously, of course, that you spend a day or two really learning how Logic operates. Learn the terminology, really digest it, and take baby steps.
Plug in one MOTU interface, and get audio in and out of that. Then plug-in the Yamaha, and do the same. Once you get that under your belt, set up the aggregate device, and by that point, you should be well on your way.
Focus on the "Getting Started" guide, and after you have a handle on that, try pumping audio in and out of the interfaces, one interface at a time.
