Voltage readings from transducer

Hi guys, I am currently stuck in here. I am doing a program that can take voltage readings from transducer using three-loop structure.
I have a layout for that in my front panel. I am not sure if I am on the right track. Can give me your opinions on this?
Many thanks!!!

I get your point. What I am trying to do here is I first select a few channels. When the program is running, the total no of channels and the binary value
are displayed. By looking at the binary value, I am able to tell which channels are light on. Basically my objective is to get voltage readings from the transducer and save the data. However I like to do an "Initialise" before starting the program. In addition, I am looking on ways how to set timing for scan and data log for eg 0.5 hr, the panel will show this particular channel reading? U guys have any clues on this? Do let me know if you have problems viewing the file. Many thanks!!!
With Warmest Regards

Where can I go to learn about scaling voltage readings from different AI devices?

Ex. I have a Vaisala HMP 60 RHT sensor. How do I know what to scale the voltage readings to get the correct RH? I have seen values (such as 20 in the linear range for the Vaisala HMT 100), but I don't know where it comes from or why it is chosen. In case it matters, I am using several AI devices (thermocouples, MFC's, RHT's) on an NI-6343 USB board. I'd really like to learn more, but am finding information very tough/convoluted. Thank you for any/all help and direction.

Thank you for the input/help. I think what I was looking for was that if you have a 5V output (for the Vaisala HMP60), then the slope would be 20 so that the zero voltage reading corresponds to 0% RH and 5V output corresponds to 100% RH. Hopefully this is right and their is no drift.

RAM voltage readings with DMM vs. Software on X58 Pro-E

I almost fell over with shock when HWmonitor and Speedfan both reported my RAM voltage spiking over 3volts when running Prime95. When idling the voltage readings fall to about 0.6v and jump around during use.
I set my RAM voltage in BIOS to 1.5v but software doesn't report that voltage at all.
So I grabbed my DMM and measured the voltage on the Mobo directly and found that the voltage is in fact exactly 1.5v
How is it the software can show variations in voltage from 0.5 to 3.7 volts when it's ALWAYS 1.5v when measured directly from the board with a meter?
I measure from the silver tab (center leg) of what I'm sure is a kind of transistor or FET, which I know is v output.
How can I trust any of the other voltage readings then? Especially the CPU v.

Neither one of these utilities is actually able to correctly monitor the actual memory voltage. Just ignore those readings. They are absolutely inaccurate no matter how you look at it (@3.7V you memory modules would probably simply vaporize and @0.6V your system would not be running anymore). These readings are IMPOSSIBLE readings.
Don't trust any memory related voltage readings that you get from third party software applications.
There you go.
That's what I figured, I wan't suspicious until my RAMv hit over 3.5v nearing 4v when stressing with Prime95, I couldn't understand how it was so high and still working.
I mean, all the voltage readings on speedfan show what look like normal values when I know full well they're not the ones I manually set in the BIOS. It's frustrating.
And yes they're all the latest releases and by BIOS is up to date with new firmware but NO my OS is still vista 64 SP1 with absolutely NO updates installed. Though I seriously doubt that'll change any voltage readings I get in speedfan.
I'm almost tempted to colder connections to all the voltage points on the Mobo for easy DMM connection. But I probably won't cos it's not worth the trouble.

Im guessing these Voltage readings are incorrect. (K9N2 Platinum)

First off my system:
K9N2 Platinum
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
Rosewill 500 (Recieving a PC Power and Cooling SILENCER 750W tomorow)
Anyways, the voltage readings for this board are way low. Though i havent had a single shutdown, or lockup due to low volts, even when oc'd..
For the most part ill let the screenie do the talking.
The Vcore reads a bit high and gets higher under load
The VRAM,Vchipset, and VCC1.5V all read way low.
everything else seems fine.
And a stable oc from earlier. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=498491

Ok heres another one.
I set my CPU voltage in the bios for 1.325(the lowest setting)
And when the pc is idling it shows 1.34. At 100%CPU it shows 1.37...
Is movement like that normal? Or just a sensor/software/calibration/offset issue?

Voltage readings with speed fan

This may be a case of too much knowledge and not enough education. I recently got Speed Fan after linking into this site searching for information about my mobo's temps. What is bothering me are Speed Fan's reading for voltages. They seem to be way out of line. The mobo bios lists the following:
+3.3 3.28
+5.0 5.06
+12.0 12.2
-12.0 11.83
These flucuate slightly as I watch them.
Here are the readings from Speed Fan. I'm going to insert a picture and hope it works. If not then I will manually enter the numbers in a following post. I haven't a clue what all of the numbers refer to. Some seem in line while others are off the map. Which ones refer to the power supply? Thanks.
\image{speed fan}

OK, the picture didn't work. Here are the Speed Fan voltage numbers:
Vcore: 1.49V 5Vsb: 4.96V +5V: 6.71V
+12V: 12.46V Vbat: 0.00V +12V: 16.10V
3.3V: 3.06V COREA: 3.36V -12V: -8.43V
Vcc: 4.99V COREB: 3.36V -5V: -2.89V
Vin2: 0.00V +3.3V: 4.43V
Why are these numbers, some of them anyway, so extremely different than the ones I am getting in PC Health in my Bios?
Here's the rest of the data given also:
CPU 47C
Temp3 39C
HD0 40C
HD1 39C
Fan01 5233 RPM
Fan02 2961 RPM

P45 Platinum Voltage Readings in Speedfan & HWMonitor

I am having some problems reading the voltages (+12v, +5v, etc..) of my P45 Platinum motherboard in Speedfan and HWMonitor.
Attached are some screenshots.
I also did a search and found this thread where jack the newbie posted screenshots about his speedfan readings: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=121987.msg922325#msg922325
His voltage readings are also around the same range.
Is this due to a problem with our motherboard or the reading of voltages by speedfan/hwmonitor?
Could those who have the P45 Platinum do a test and see whether they get the same strange readings from the voltages too?
Thanks in advance

Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 17-December-08, 01:03:00
Those readings are impossible readings. No system would be able to function with the +12V level dropping to 1.23V. It is simply impossible. Both of the tools show wrong readings, which is not the fault of the board but a problem with those tools. Check the voltage levels in BIOS, or, even better: use a multimeter.
Thanks Jack the newbie. And thank you youeffsee for testing on your board. That shld be proof that I'm not the only one facing this issue and my board is not bad. Phew...
I knew those were ridiculous readings. The readings in BIOS are perfect. If those tools are bad, are there any that currently read the voltages correctly on the P45 Platinum? Besides MSI's own DualCore Center of course. Being able to monitor voltages in Windows without a multimeter sticking out of the casing would be nice.
And does anyone know what the other voltages/temperature sensors are reading? Thanks again.

LabVIEW readings from a DMM too slow

Right now I am working on a program that takes readings from a multimeter and puts them into a graph. The multimeter is taking readings at 100 per second, while LabVIEW is only taking a number from the multimeter every five to six seconds. I am very new to LabVIEW so I am not sure if there is something in my program that is slowing it down or something that I can add to increase the frequency of readings taken. I have attached the program file I'm using and the multimeter is a Tektronix DMM4020, though I don't think the problem is with the multimeter. Any advice would be great, thanks in advance.

DFM@LMS4.0.1: lots of Voltage meassage from 10GE ports

Hello,
We got suddenly a lot of Voltage faults in DFM from 10GE ports at our VSS Core. Communication is not affected.
All other devices show voltage in a valid range and the VSS before this night as well.

Is there a vi for acquiring bar code readings from a scanner?

I need to acquire at least 3 readings from multiple transducers and have their serial number placed and stored in my vi. Should I use a digital indicator, and if so, what will be my input. Is there a VI that handles this task, already built into Lab View 6.1?

Justin,
It all depends on what kind of scanner you are using and how it communicates. If the scanner communicates using serial then it would be easy to write a VI to recieve the information. The protocol for a scanner is not likely to be very complicated.
There are two instrument drivers on the Instrument Driver network for reading barcodes. Go to www.ni.com/drivers and then click on Search for a Driver. Only fill in the additional keywords and search for "bar code" (include the quotes to search for the phrase). You will find two instrument drivers (MS 810 and MS 850).

How to transfer the readings from a multimeter into a PDA?

Which are the different ways to transfer the current and voltage readings to an Excel file in a PDA using LabvIEW PDA module 8.0?
Which PDA must i buy? what must be the specs?
which multimeter should i buy? what must be the specs?
Can anyone help me?

Hello Anu,
There are different hardware options that you have here. The basic things that you need to keep in mind is that the PDA that you purchase runs on Pocket PC and has either a CompactFlash or a PCMCIA slot in it. The driver that you would be using for your LabVIEW PDA application would NI-DAQmx Base Ver 2.0.1. You can refer to its readme for more information on the supported hardware. Also you can check at this page for more information on the supported devices. About your original question, using LabVIEW PDA you can create a text file for storing data and separate the data points with a comma. So that this way you would be able to open the file in Excel if you wanted to. All the file I/O related VIs can be found in the function palette at Programming >> File I/O.

I'm working on DC Motor control using DAQ. There is sufficient voltage output from DAQ but not current. What should i do so as to drive the motor

I'm working on DC Motor control using DAQ. There is sufficient voltage output from DAQ but not current. What should i do so as to drive the motor. Could you suggest me appropriate driver IC using which this problem can be solved.
Saravanan.T

You really should use a DC motor controller to control a DC motor, look at the 754410 IC for a good example. You should be able to interface these to most DAQ devices.

Wrong readings from a thermocouple

hello
Im getting wrong readings from a thermocouple T type, installed on SCXI1100/1300 using MIO6070E
Tareq

Tareq,
first test: shortcut your TC input . Can you read the temperature of your input terminal (resp. of the tempsensor for the cold junction compensation)?
If no then you have a problem with your measurement setup.
If yes then the problem is you sensor (signal)
maybe to much noise due to ground loops or other EMC
do you use a extension cable? Right type ? Right polarity?

DAQsingleBufExtTrig_Eseries.c returns higher voltage readings each time it is run

I am useing A pci6024E board running the sample program DAQsingleBufExtTrig_Eseries.c to read an analog signal produced by A FUNCTION GENERATOR
I thought that things were going well until I
realized that each time i ran the program ,the voltage readings increased by about 1 volt each run .
irregardless of the function generators settings
I tried adding the AI_CLEAR FUNCTION TO THE PROGRAM BUT STILL GOT THE SAME RESULTS.Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong
[email protected]

Walter
Does the program finish on its own, or are you aborting it before it ends? Also, is it that the voltages continue to increase, even above the range of the board?
Try to do a DAQ_Clear(iDevice) at the very beginning of the program as well as the end.
