Usage of DAQ USB-6211 with Sound and Vibration Measuremen​t Suite

Hi,
Could I use DAQ USB-6211 with Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite ? All examples are based on 24-bit devices (usually with IEPE-on) such as NI 9234 or similar.
I don't need IEPE, 16 bit is sufficient for my dynamic range, could leave without simultaneous sampling - so 6211 (that I have) is OK for me.
Actually I'm interested in S&V Toolkit ( or Measurement Suite) as a tool with some specific Signal processing capabilities (for example, short-time FFT etc.)
Thanks in advance

Hi sgabr,
Yes, you can use the 6211 with some of the Sound and Vibration VIs, including most of the FFT functions.  I know that's a little vague -- I don't have a list of which functions do or do not support 16-bit devices, but I did test it out on my system this afternoon.  If there are specific functions or examples you'd like to know about, let me know, and I will try them out.
You also have the option to download the evaluation version of the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite.  That way, you can test drive it yourself!

  • Sound output with sound and vibration toolkit

    Hi!
    Wants to setup a system with two microphones that are connected to DAQ NI USB-9162 and perform a Frequency Response between them where one of them has the undisturbed signal (close in space) and the other the respons (further away). My problem is that I want to send out noise or multitone through labview to an amplifier with internal D/A connected to my USB (turns up as a soundcard in windows). I can not find this option to send out sound in the sound and vibration tool.
    Using evaluation version of both Labview and the sound and vibration kit since I wanted to see if it was possible to perform this application with Labview. Feels close but lack the success still.
    Best regards

    It should be easy to do some modifications if you have some code doing what you want, but not with a sound card. If you have some code just post it. So I can take a look. Note that sound cards do not support all sample rates. But all sound card do support 44100 Hz as sample rate. And newer sound card also higher rates. And how good your setup will be. Will depend somehow on your sound card. But by all means give it a try  
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

  • Third octave operations with "sound and vibration toolkit"

    Hi!
    I’m working about third octave decomposition with a vibration signal.
    I’m using the sound and vibration toolkit.
    The sample frequency of my signal is 2400 Hz.
    And I’m working with a 1 second vibration signal (so 2400 points).
    Fs = 2400
    N = 2400
    I need to understand the different and successive operations that the “SVT Fractional-octave Analysis [IEC].vi”VI do.
    In fact, I think that my frequency resolution (df = Fe/N=1Hz) is too low.
    Do you have a solution?
    Maybe I could turn into my 1 sec signal in 10 sec signal with 10 recopies and assemblage of my previous signal?
    N’ = 10N so df = Fe/10N = 0.1Hz.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello,
    The first thing you have to do is to read the Chapter 7 of the user manual of the Sound and Vibration Toolset.
    You can find it in : program -> National Instruments -> LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolset -> User Manual
    This chapter discusses fractional-octave analysis, including fractional-octave analysis theory, averaging modes supported by the
    Octave Analysis VIs, settling time, and ANSI and IEC standards.

  • How to sweep acceleration with sound and vibration toolkit?

    I need to test a device on a speaker.
    From the result before, it seems that the acceleration of the device on the speaker is an interesting parameter, so I want to keep the vibration frequency constant (sine wave) and change the max acceleration, how can I do it?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Golfpaul,
    could you please post your VI or a screenshot of your VI to see how your output signal is created.

  • Signalexpress2009 with sound and vibration suite: "vibration level" step

    1)The running RMS function worked before and calculted a running RMS of 1s. This function quit to work without any modifications to the application project, and now gives 0 as result all the time.
    2) When viewing the RMS value in "project document", how do I set the time so only the RMS value of the latest 5min shows? 

    Hi Gary,
          Thanks for the response.  No, I am not using the Custom Scaling parameter.  The tool defaults to Pounds as soon as you specify the "Measurement Type" = Torque (Bridge).  The same thing happens when setting the "Measurment Type" = Pressure (Bridge).  If I manually change the "Scaled Unit" to a valid option (In-lb, Nm, oz-in, etc), it does not register that change in the "Channel View" Window. This leads me to believe this is a SW bug, because the parameter specified in the "Setup" window is not updated in the "Channel View" window and consequently, the SW believes the user has specified the incorrect units.  Attached are some slides describing the problem.  Please let me know if I have performed any steps incorrectly in this setup.
    Thanks

  • Sound and Vibration toolkit 3.1

    Hi
    I acquired 2-channel Acceleration data using NI PCI/PXI 4472 along with Labview DAQ Assistant. I received tdms files and converted them in excel files.
    Now I need to carry out spectral analysis of data. I am using Labview 8.6 and am also provided with Sound and vibration toolkit 3.1.
    I want final output in the form of a waterfall diagram that I can include in my thesis. I tried using excel data in Matlab but no luck.
    I know basic use of Labview but completely new to SVT 3.1.
    Can anyone please help me in explaining the basics of using waterfall display Palette in SVT 3.1 along with excel data?
    Thanks.

    Thanks Jared,
    I tried searching for examples and found SVXMPL_Waterfall Display (Simulated). I guess that is the one you are referring to.
    I tried to run that one but it ended with Error 1445.
    I went through another thread on error 1445 (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/SVT-3-1-LabView-8-Error-1445/m-p/310575/highlight/true#M161064) and the referred knowledge base (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361G-01/glang/open_vi_reference/) but could not get how to correct the error. I am attaching the screent shot of the VI.
    It would really be of great help if I can get an idea on how to solve error 1445 for this VI.

  • Sound and Vibration Toolkit License

    Hi.. I have LabView 2009 SP1 installed in my PC. Currently I am running in evaluation mode, but planning to buy a run - time license. I also have the Sound and Vibration Toolkit on evaluation mode. Do I need to buy a license for this toolkit too? what if I buy the debug/deployment license for labview?

     Hi JR Tager, as Dennis mentions you need to buy the license for each of your development computer. In this case the best option is to buy the Developer Suit with Sound and Vibration Option this way you get a discount in the module. Also the toolkit and the Module have to be the Same version than your LabVIEW for example if you are using LabVIEW 2010 you need the 2010 Sound and Vibration Toolkit.
     Not all toolkits and modules, requires a Runtime but in this case the Sound and Vibration Module does. Which mean for every executable you create you will need to buy a RunTime License.The part number for the NI Sound and Vibration Software Run-Time License is 779875-01.
    Which Software Requires a Run-Time License?

  • Average multiple signals together in sound and vibration assistant

    Hello,
    I would like to average octave analysis data from multiple microphone channels together to obtain a single set of octave analysis data to view within Sound and Vibration Assistant (a surface average from the microphones).  I have created an octave averaging vi in LabVIEW to run in SVA, but I get the error that there are no signals in my SVA project to input into my vi.  I have based the input of my vi on code generated from SVA which outputed multichannel octave analysis data, so I don't quite understand why the output from an octave analysis in SVA doesn't match up to the input of my vi.
    I also would like to do this for multichannel power spectrum data, and I have tried creating my own vi for this as well with no success.
    I am using LabVIEW 2011 32-bit along with Sound and Vibration Assistant 2011.
    Any assistance with finding a solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You,

    Octave Average.vi ‏13 KB
    Power Spectra Average.vi ‏13 KB

    Hello Jake,
    Thank you for responding to my post.  After recording the raw sound pressure data from my microphones, I placed an Octave Analysis step and a Power Spectrum analysis step in the playback section of SVA, and the outputs of these steps should have served as inputs to the VIs I created (I assume you only looked at the power spectrum averaging VI, as the octave averaging VI accepts a 1D array of clusters of center frequencies and band powers).  I did find that my averaging VIs did not have the correct size of empty array going into the second For loop, so I have corrected this in the attached VI (for averaging the FFT).
    Also, I was able to get my corrected VI for averaging the FFT to work after getting past a little quirk in SVA.  After browsing to my VI in setting up the "Run LabVIEW VI" step, I had to click the "Refresh VI" button before it would let me select a power spectrum as its input.
    I also think I figured out why the octave averaging VI doesn't work.  I think it has something to do with the fact that the output of an Octave Analysis step in SVA can not be used as an input to any other steps within SVA, which makes sense most of the time since once you have performed an octave analysis, there is really no other processing of this data that would ever need done...except for my case of averaging the 10 channels together to obtain the surface average SPL (kind of important when testing according to ISO3744).  If this is the case, I would consider this a bug in SVA, as any output from any step in SVA that can be displayed should be able to be used as an input to a "Run LabVIEW VI" step.
    I agree with you that in the end, it would be easier to do everything in just LabVIEW if I were just collecting data for post-processing at a later date, but when investigating noise issues and collecting mounds of data in the process, SignalExpress makes it a little easier to sift through that data as it is collected/logged while still in our sound lab, which may give us some ideas of different ways to test at that moment and possibly find the cause of our noise issues.
    Thanks again for responding to my post,
    Eric Morgan

  • Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite with PC Sound card?

    Hi all,
    I'm new to LabVIEW, so please bear with me.
    I would like to take some basic network measurements of a single channel hardware audio device. I have a PCI sound card which I was able to play sound files and receive input with using the sound2 Simultaneous_Sound_IO.vi. I'm wondering if it's possible and how difficult it would be to integrate this VI with the VIs associated with the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite? I've downloaded the trial version of the Measurement Suite and it appears to include all of the measurements I need (frequency response, THD, dynamic range), however they're all designed to work with NI DAQ hardware.
    If it is possible, could someone point me in the right direction as far as integrating the two, or even post or direct me towards existing VIs if there are any?
    Thanks so much

    Which S&V vi's do you mean to be dedicated to NI hardware?
    A quick peek into the addon show me waveforms as input and the sound vis have a waveform output.
    OK I didn't look at the examples and by habbit ignore the express vis .   But maybe you just want to use a program instead of programming your application?

  • Sound and Vibration Toolkit with NI-SCOPE AND NI-FGEN

    Hi,
    I would like to use the Sound and Vibration Toolkit with the NI-FGEN and NI-SCOPE,specifically the stepped sine analysis. The stepped sine VI's are compatible with only DAQmx and not NI-SCOPE and NI-FGEN,right?
    Any way around this?

    Hi there,
    Firstly I assume you mean Swept sine and not stepped!?
    This is the closest thing I could find:
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3347
    I had a look for you and there is nothing that works with a swept sine in FGEN or SCOPE natively that we supply.  However I do believe that a lot of the functionality could be programmed in FGEN and SCOPE vi's.
    You would however need to make copies of all the Swept Sine VI's and replace all DAQmx calls and property nodes with the appropriate SCOPE/FGEN vi's.
    Not a short answer I'm afraid and I can't guarantee that all the functionality is going to be there.
    Sorry its not a better answer.

  • Sound and vibration toolkit using Keithley Card

    Hello everyone,
    Might be doing a project soon using the LABVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolkit(1/n octave vibration analysis required) with LABVIEW 6.1(Sorry, try convince my Boss to upgrade). We have a Keithley KPCI-3101 card avaliable to us for the analog input.
    Do any of you forsee a problem using a non-NI card with the sound and vibration toolkit? I can find very little on the internet discussing using non-NI cards with the toolkit.
    This might sound like a stupid question but I need to be
    100% sure that there are no problems.
    Thank you for any help you can offer :-)
    Cheers
    Jurgen

    Hello Jurgen,
    Of course the integration with National Instruments boards (PCI-4472 or 445x boards) is best suited with the Sound and Vibration Toolkit. However it is possible to use the toolkit without National Instruments hardware. Most of the examples that ship with the toolkit use NI-DAQ data acquisition calls. You need to remove them from the examples and substitute them for the driver vi's that your board uses. There are also a couple of examples that use simulated signals (so there is no hardware at all involved).
    One thing to be aware of is the sample rate. Recommended sample rates, that are used in most examples are 51.2 kS/s. You may need to check if your board is capable of doing this.
    Also all the functions use the waveform datatype, (which include
    s timing information), so you need to convert your array of data to this datatype, using the build waveform function.
    Hope this answers your question.
