Analog channel scan - skeleton

Hello

I use NEITHER-DAQmx in visual basic to scan 8 channels on a Windows timer component and I'm trying to separate the initialization code of the code for the analysis.

The code example lists all the functions I need to call sequences, but it is not clear what function I can call once (during initialization of the) and I need to call to make the analysis of functions and retrieve values.

I can call DAQmxCreateTask() and DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan() during initialization of the can repeatedly call DAQmxReadAnalogScalarF64() whenever I need to read the ADC values?

Thank you

Tony

Tony,

Reading the description of DAQmx functions you call as efficiently as possible for you to read that your data would be to ask CreateTask, CreateChannel, then call DAQmxStartTask, outside your loop.  Inside the loop, all what you call is DAQmx read.  By adding the Start Task call outside the loop, you guarantee that internal DAQmx state machine didn't need to transition through additional States when you call reading.

Hope this helps,
Dan

  • Channel scan does not.

    Hi all

    I am a string "a, b: c - d» A little need is to get a, b, c and d strings separately using "channel scan". I tried the format string "%s, % s: %s s. But the analysis of string does not work. string 1 = a, b: c - d; Channel 2, channel 3, Channel 4 are empty. I also have an error.

    Is there any format string format should I follow for a, b, c and d correctly from scan chain.

    Kind regards

    Hi Khalifa,

    If you have a single character such as 'a' and 'b' and so on, then he works with a fixed field of 1 size. Otherwise, you can work with the replacement string and splits the string with the "worksheet to function array string.

  • How to write table values to analog channel?

    Hi all

    If I have a table of values, is it possible to write these values as an analog voltage and then stop writing when he arrives at the end of the table? If so, how does do this?

    I have attached my code that generates a table of frequency swept sinusoidal voltages and I write that out to my analog channel, when I consult my output however, I get the same display of sinusoidal repetitive time and time again. I expect for example:

    writing of wave of 1 Hz, 2 Hz, 3 Hz etc...

    but I'm getting the 1 Hz wave over and over again, I selected samples in the sample clock and pretty much done a lot of trial and error and still no luck . Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi Daniel!

    Take a look at this example (you can find examples of LabVIEW):

    Gen CONT tension Wfm - Int Clk - no Regeneration.vi

    Here is an another VI I did (see table). It is slightly different from the example of the LV and it should help you.

    It could be that useful...

  • Exception on the creation of a second task with Analog channels?

    I'm getting an exception '{error =-50103 = "is reserved for the resource specified. The operation could not be performed as specified.\n\nTask name: _unnamedTask<5>\n\nStatus Code:-50103 "} ' when I call Control(..Commit) on a task with Analog channels, I just created."

    At the time of creation, I have another task set and running in the "we demand" move that uses another set of analogue channels in the same card to acquisition of data (NI6229).

    Is there a limitation on the number of tasks that can use analog in the channels of a single card?

    Thank you

    Go Paul

    Because the analog inputs share a unique clock, you can have only one task running. You can have as many channels as you want in a single analog input task, however.

  • Storage of samples of several analog channels (life-long)

    I use a USB6356 to read 5 analog channels (more digital input port A)) simultaneously until you press a stop button. The idea is to represent all the signals captured on a temporal scale after the acquisition.

    I am convert and storage of the 2D array that is captured in each iteration of the loop in another 2D array in order to have an output of 5 table lines (one for each input signal).

    However, Labview can not handle so much treatment in so short a time table (I think that the main bottleneck is the 2D Transpose VI table) and accidents very soon (I have to kill the entire process and restart Labview). Is there a better way to do this?

    See you soon

    Your problem is that you have horrible memory management here.  Whenever you add in the table, more memory is allocated, then the table is copied.  You are basically out of memory.

    1. use samples of N, N channels, 1 table D of waveforms for your Read DAQmx

    2. change your chart to a chart and move it to be inside the loop.  Maintain chart, a story, so you can still see the X last samples on it (1024 by default).

    3. save your data in a file.  I recommend using the DAQmx configure connection before starting the task.  This allows the stream directly to a TDMS file for further processing.

  • How to view analog channels during an ongoing acquisition, what type of used wave form, table, or chart?

    I use Labview 8.5. and the NI USB-6210 device.

    I want to display the analog channels over the continuous acquisition.

    I can use the table of waveform or waveform graph. Waveform allows you to eat a history buffer. This function is very interresting and useful for my system, but I can't change this value to programming (if I do not mistake!). So, I was wondering if I can also use the waveform graph, but I do not have how to make a circular buffer to replace function "history buffer. I have to use the waveform as a data type.

    What is the best solution for my problem? I would like to know if my solution is good (graphic use of waveform) and if anyone has a solution to make an effective circular buffer with the waveform data type?

    Thanks in advance, best regards, Daniel

    There is an example that comes with LabVIEW called "XY table". It shows you how to create a history for a XY Chart buffer. The size of the history can be changed on the fly. You can adapt the VI "graphic buffer XY ' to work with a data type of waveform." This type of data consists of 3 elements: start on time, delta t and table of values. The only thing that you should be buffering is the array of values.

  • Select the analog channels by custom names

    Hello friends of the Forum,

    My stuff:

    LabView 2009 SP1

    Windows 7

    I am rewriting code of LV7 LabView with the 2009 version.  The old code has a vi called "IA waveform scan.vi" and it allows the user to specify the DAQ hardware and also select channels by simply enumerating as numbers (0,1,2,5,6 etc.) in a channel of the front input box.  I understood how to create something similar to 2009 using daqmx channel, but I list the channels like this: dev1\ai1, dev1\ai2, etc.  Is it possible to choose a figure like LV7?  From what I've read, I think it is, but I have been unable to make it work.  Thank you.

    dZack

    I understand your question, but I don't understand why a list with ai1, ai2, ai0, etc., is so difficult to understand. In any case, its easy to convert numeric values Plains actual channel names. The format based on the string seems appropriate. You must create an array of channel numbers. A string is an acceptable entry in the DAQmx Create Channel function.

  • How to configure multi analog channels inputs in a single task

    Hello I want to acquire two signals of the two channels (input 1 analog acceleration; analog input voltage 2) without using wizard DAQmx because I have to use standard vi I use usb NI 9234 any suggestion please I tried with a chanel and I got good result but when I try two delivery channels I errors please hep me

    Hi Broutchoux,

    What are the errors you get when you run your code? This is a mistake-50103?  As long as your acceleration and your task of voltage use the same synchronization settings, you can combine the two channels in a single task.  This should fix the error you receive.  The article below has a picture that shows the configuration I describe:
