Setting different analog output's parameters in PCI-6229 DAQ card

Hello,
We are using DAQ assistant to set the analog output parameters (frequency).
Is it possible to set different values for each channel using DAQ assistant?
If not using DAQ assistant, what is the other way to set it?
Thank You
Arunas

If you are trying to set different frequencies for waveform generation on two channels, the answer is No, it can't be done. If possible, you will have to pick a sample rate high enough to work for both signals, and use an over-sampled waveform.
Another choice would be to use a second device for the second waveform.

How does the PCI-6229 DAQ-card communicate with CB-68LP connector block?

Hello!
I want to do a very simple task which is to just turn on/off a LED. I am using LabVIEW 7.1 and I have a DAQ-card PCI-6229. The DAQ-card is then wired to a connector block CB-68LP.
Now my problem is to figure out how the connector block communicates with the DAQ-card?
In the file I attached there is a picture of connector block and the device pinouts from the DAQ-card. But how do I know which of pinouts triggers some connector on the connectorblock?
Which are digital outputs on the DAQ-card?
Where can I read about this?

Hello asc01001:
The digital pins of the PCI-6229 are labelled as Px.y, where x is the port name while y is the channel name. For example, pin52 of the NI 6229 is P0.0; which is also port 0, channel 0 of the digital I/O of the DAQ card.
While "D GND", which are located at pin53, pin18, pin50, etc. are the negative terminal of all digital I/O of the DAQ cards.
Please advice if this helps.

How do i generate the TTL pulse from PCI 6024E DAQ card

Hi, I'm trying to write a program which generates a single TTL pulse when it is run. My goal is to generate the pulse, send it to the output channel of my PCI 6024E DAQ card, and then use a BNC cable, to display the signal on the oscilloscope. I have written the code and I think it appears fine but when I try to view the signal on the scope I am unable to see the pulse. I have tried slowing down the sweep on the scope and have adjusted the voltage and time scales but have not seen any response. After examing my DAQ card, I noticed that none of the PFI/TRIG terminals on the card are wired; the output channel connects to terminals for DAC0OUT and Ground. I'm wondering if this pin needs to be wired in orde
r to generate the pulse since PFI0/TRIG1 is the start trigger terminal. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How can I connect the output of a force transducer unit(BNC cable) to the PCI-6036E DAQ card via the SCB-68 block connector?

I m using the 404A force transducer unit by Aurora Scientific and i want to connect the (converted to Volt) output, which is a BNC cable, to the PCI-6036E DAQ card via the SCB-68 connector block, facing difficulties in choosing the correct input mode for my signal(couldn t clear this using the manual), setting the switches and which channel shall i use in the block connector in order to configure ot with LABVIEW

Hi MSc Student,
Connecting your transducer to the 6036E card via the SCB-68 connector block should be pretty straight forward. You have 2 choices of input mode, Referenced Single Ended (RSE) this is where you will connect the screen of the BNC cable to a ground connection for the DAQ card in the SCB-68 and the other to any analogue input channel . These are listed in the device pinouts in the help section of MAX, under the 68 pin devices section. The terminal block numbers correspond to the DAQ card's pin numbers. Another method, which avoids ground loop problems would be to use the Differential connection and connect the signal and ground connections of the BNC cable to a differential analogue input, these are listed in the 6036E manual and in th
e MAX help section again. the disadvantage to using this method is 2 analogue input channels are used and you must use the lowest 8 analogue input channels for differential inputs.
The switch settings that you need can be found in the manual for the SCB-68 in table 2-1, the manual can be found here : http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320745b.pdf
The switches are for power to extra signal conditioning and the cold junction compensation for thermocouples which in your case you do not need so set the switches to the positions in the first box ie Direct feedthrough, with temperature sensor disabled and accessory power disabled. The channel you use should not matter the only ting to remember will be that if you use differential mode measurement that you will be connecting the signals to AI(n) and AI(n+8) so differential input 0 is across the connectors for AI0 and AI(8). The channel numbers corespond to the analogue input number for the card.
I hope this information helps,

How to avoid dependance between output digital port with a PCI 1200 daq card?

Hello,
I don't manage to fix the state of a line on one port (PA0 for ex) without change the state of another line of another digital port (PB0 for ex)
I use a PCI 1200 Daq card with Labview 5.0.1 (under Windows 98)
How to configure a robust state (high logic level) on a line of a port??
Does anybody have an idea on this problem?
Thanks a lot in advance and happy new year to the community

Hello,
I've found the problem
The PCI1200 has a chip 8255 for Digital I/O
If I use the bad VI, it reconfigures the port and all the lines go in a low logic state
so I'd to write only on the port or the line without reconfigure the port
So the good VI in the palett is: Port Write and not Digital Port write!
See attached file..
Thanks

nce of nth triggering pulse. i need to know when the when the ist trigger occurs and when the nth trigger occurs . please tell me how to to . what i know is that event triggering has to be done with start and stop trigger. please tell me how it has to doneSuresh;
What you will need to do is to set up a digital start and stop triggered Analog Input acquisition. Then you will need to have a counter set as event counter, having the specific number of pulses you need configured as the preset value, configured to count down, and generating a pulse after the terminal count has been reached. That counter output will be the stop trigger of the Analog Input operation. In summary, you will have the external pulse being both the digital trigger of the Analog Input operation and the source pin of the counter, and the counter output being the digital stop signal for the analog input.
I'm attaching a Labview VI that does the start and stop analog input acquisition. You will need to include the counter part and set the stop s
ignal to be the counter output.
Hope this helps.

32 bit I/O using PCI-6533 DAQ card

I am thinking of purchasing the PCI-6533 DAQ card and need to know if the the 32 bits can be configured individually as input or output. I know that they can for unstrobed and static applications but I need to be using strobed or non-static. I also know that the you can set the 8 bit ports as input or output ports for highspeed. So my question is... Can I configure each individual line as input or output for highspeed applications?

Hi,
Unfortunately, the 653x boards can only be configured on a line-by-line basis for asynchronous digital I/O.
When in synchronous pattern acquisition/generation mode, the 653x is divided into 2 groups (2 ports in each group). These two groups can be operated independently as input or output and at different clock frequencies. However, all lines on both ports of a group are configured in the same way.
If you are looking for completely individually controlled lines in a pattern generation/acquisition application, you might consider the new high-speed digital board (NI 655x).
Hope that helps. Have a good day.

What is the maximum number of samples that can be acquired with a single trigger using PCI-6036E DAQ card?

1. My PCI-6036E card has a FIFO of 1024 bytes in AI. Maximum how many samples can be acquired with single trigger for digitizing a waveform?
2. PCI-6036E DAQ card has got a AO with 10ks/s update rate? Can I generate a pulsed output with the AO of this card? I need a pulse of, say, 5 V and 1 kHz frequency.

Giri,
1.The trigger is usually for enabling the acquisition. I mean, when it is logic zero, you acquire nothing; however, when it is logic one, you start acquiring your waveform,and you can acquire continuously without having to worry about how many samples, unless you want to set your program for doing so. You can acquire continuously by implementing buffer acquisition. Finally, the FIFO that is in the board will not affect the buffer acquisition.
2.Yes, you can do that! You can generate your 5V signal with that specific frequency, and you should not have any problems, because the freq fits in the update rate.
I hope this information is helpful.

Mac G4 crashes using continuous generation with PCI-1200 DAQ card

I've been trying to use a PCI-1200 DAQ card with a Mac G4 to create a continuous analog output signal. The problem is that the computer locks up after a while (a few minutes). I have been using the Generate Continuous Sine Wave vi, but the problem remains.
I've tried slow signals (10Hz) and fast signals (2kHz) but the computer still seems to crash. I have no clue what is going on!

bissdp,
The first thing I would recommend is making sure you have the latest version of the driver:
www.ni.com > Support > Drivers and Updates > Current Versions > Multifunction DAQ
Another you could try is to determine what component is causing the computer to lock up. Use a process explorer utility to try to see what processes are locked up. A search in google might turn up utilities like this one: (http://www.clarkwoodsoftware.com/peekaboo/)
Keep in mind heat or speed issues. It may sound funny, but you may want to try opening the computer case and making sure the board has enough air flow to keep it cool.
These are just some ideas for now, I hope they help.

Low sample-rate measurements on the PCI-6115 DAQ card

I need to measure an analog signal at a sampling rate of a few tens to hundreds of Hz in sync with the rising edge of an external clock. I have a PCI-6115 DAQ card w/ Labview 6.1 and NI-DAQ 6.9.2. The PCI-6115 is a high speed card and has a minimum sample rate of 10 KS/s. Is there any way of implementing a low sampling rate measurement using the PCI-6115 in sync with an external clock?
Thanks in advance.

Kuldeep,
It is possible to do what you are describing above (in fact I don't think an external clock is required to do this), however, bear in mind that the reason for this minimum sampling frequency is due to the ADCs used on this high speed board. The ADCs used are pipelined ADCs, meaning that when a signal is digitized, it is digitized in distinct stages within the ADC (in the case of the 6115, I think there are 3 stages involved). Data is moved from one stage of the ADC to the next each time a sample clock pulse is recieved. If too much time elapses between these clock edges, the signal to be digitized can actually 'leak' off of the ADC. This can result in improper digitization, which can lead to less accurate measurements. So, while it is possible to mak
e the device sample below it's minimum rate, it may be advisable to sample faster than the rates required by your application, and either average multiple data points per measurement, or throw away extra points taken.
I hope this helps,
Dan

How to switch multiple relays using PCI 6601 DAQ card

What is the specification of the digital output value given from the PCI 6601 DAQ card?How to develop LAB VIEW code to switch a relay?Can anybody please explain?

Hi hasi,
did you read the manual and the specs of the PCI6601? It says: "5V TTL/CMOS compatible"...
You shouldn't expect to much current from a simple DO pin - probably it's not enough to drive your relay!

PCI-6023E DAQ card maximum sampling frequency

Hello
I am using PCI-6023E DAQ card in pc-based ETS solution (and writing appilication in LabView 7.1 with RT module). The card has 200kS/s maximum sampling frequency, but it can be set for much higher sampling frequencies and the waveform acquired appears to be correct (i.e. i've tried setting it fo 1MS/s and sampling 400kHz sine, which is obviously above Nyquist frequency for 200kS/s card, but on spectral graph, main peak is at 400kHz). Is the card driver doing some kind of free/coherent sampling?
Moreover, when sampling frequency is set to 200kS/s, the card seems to be doing same thing - i.e. for 200kS/s and sample block size of 200kS, graph should be updated once in a second, but it's updating slighty slower.
I'd really appreciate if someone could explain me (or gave me a link to materials) what exactly is happening here? Is driver doing some background work, or maybe it is problem with network latency/unstability ? What is the impact of this effect on real-time aquisition?
Thanks in advance
Jan Kienig

Since the fundemental is 4 times the nyquist, then what you are measuring is an alias of the fundemental. This works well as long as the fundemental is a repetitive signal. Sampling every other peak and every other node looks the same as sampling every peak and node. Tektronix exploited this on their 7S series sampling heads. Another use of this phenomena is the effective demodulation of high frequency signals as long as the bandwidth meets nyquist. As with your card, if the input amplifier supported it, I could extract modulation information from a 500 MHz signal so long as the the bandwith of that modulation did not exceed 100 kHz.
