Arbitrary analog output USB-6281

Hello, I am very new to LabView and national instruments. I'm trying out a sinusoidal signal with noise with my usb-6281. I can't find how to do this in labview 8.2. I see how a normal sine wave of the express signal and the measuremtn Explorer & automation of output, but I would like to do a program in labview to run it. and not only a sine wave but a noise. Can someone point me in the right direction for this? is it still possible with the 6281? I should mention as probably as a sinusoid is not really necessary, I am controlling a variable voltage attenuator and want to change mitigation maybe 5 times per second, so the speed is not essential. I could even run it through a script of voltage levels. but I don't know how do either. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi F11Raven,

The DAQ Assistant is packaged with DAQmx, which is the driver needed to interact with your USB-6251. You can download the latest version of DAQmx here. After installing, you should be able to use the DAQ Assistant in LabVIEW.

  • Simple examples of analog output USB-6343

    I've tried passing by 'find' examples and does not know how to find what I want.

    I'm doing a simple analog output on a USB-6343.  Examples of waveforms say they work with the USB-6343, but I really don't want a waveform, just analog of output does not exceed 10 Hz speed of renewal.  Some of the more simple examples show that they work with the pcie-6343 but do not list USB-6343.

    I worked with USB-6009 in the past, but when I try to use an analog output task that uses 1 sample on request, I get the error "not buffered operations clocked by the hardware are not supported for device and channel type.»  Set the size of greater than 0 buffer, do not set up the timing of the sample clock or the value Type of sample On Demand time"

    I tried samples N, 100 samples to write to 10 Hz - the same error.  Samples of continuous - same error.  1-sample - timed HW - same error.

    There is a series of examples of I/O for the X series?  Is it possible to search the device examples rather than go through all the examples and by checking the list of devices individually?

    Is 'size of the buffer' the 'writing samples"in MAX?

    After contacting the support I was provided with the names of the more simple examples for analog i/o:

    Analog output-Gen power Update.vi

    Analog Input-Acq & chart voltage-Int Clk.vi

    They are found in the getting started screen of

    Click 'Find examples' near the lower right corner

    Filter the results to material by clicking on the menu drop down for the material in the lower left corner and selecting USB-6343 (only connected equipment will be displayed)

    Don't forget to check the box "limit results to material" below.

    In the center pane, double-click 'Material Input and Output'

    Path for the analog input - double-click Acq & chart analog measures - double click on tension - tension-Int Clk.vi

    Double click on analog generation - double click on Power - Gen Update.vi of analog channel output voltage

    The examples are for the single data point.  Samples and exit multiples are produced by putting the writing or reading VI inside a loop.  The beginning and the clear functions should be out of the loop.

    Additional information, I need technical support was how material-filter results and identification of more simple examples which were not obvious from the examples of names.

  • Incorrect value for analog output USB-6008. Cannot not out more than 3V

    I use USB-6008 analog IO, but the analog output (AO0 or AO1) can go up to 3 - 3.5V. The output can follow accurately the value of 0 to 2, 5V, but then he start the values adjusted trolling and not can not spend you 3.5V exponentially.

    The only strange thing the entire circuit is that I connected all patterns (analog source and I/O 5V) between them, but I don't see what affect the output.

    Kind regards

    Thanks for the quick reply Ana.

    It is not the Council NOR, nor the Council of motorization. Apparently, the interface for motor control (motor spirit C: solutions - cubed.com), load the analog output. A tension following actually isolated op amp output USB-6008 and solved the problem.

  • Rate analog output USB-6008

    Hello

    I just started using an NI USB-6008 box. At this point, I don't need to fill all the specific tasks other than learning to use the device. I used a fair bit of LabVIEW but never with this kind of material, and I would like to help to understand it please.

    In particular, I have attached a VI in which I try to get an analog signal through the USB-6008 and read again (also with the USB-6008 - I wired the pins together). However, I do not understand what is happening when I run this VI. I expect the output a sine signal of 10 Hz for 1 second, 0.1 seconds record and see 1 full cycle of the sine wave. In practice, I read about 10 cycles and constant tension then. Presummably, this means that either the reading continues for more than 0.1 second, otherwise the output signal is more than 10 Hz.

    I also tried to use the related calendar DAQmx screws with the output pin to try to adjust the output rate (samples/s) but everything that I've tried return errors. I also tried to open some examples NOR, but these errors returned as well and I still just try things on mine.

    Did I miss something obvious here, but any help would be appreciated!

    Edit: I had to update this post & attached VI I had made mistakes. The default values on the front panel show what I see after the execution of the VI.

    Orbital Hi,

    As far as I know, you will need to use the DAQmx Read and VIs write in loops and functions of synchronization to determine data rates you want.

    I also did a quick search and found a white paper which you may find useful: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/9541/en/

    Why don't you just try and see what happens?  As far as I know, it should work.

  • Strange analog output of USB-6211

    I just got USB-6211 to replace USB-6001 to set the clock to external sampling on analog output for LED lighting control. The part of external clock example works fine, but the analog output voltage is strange. To do self-monitoring, I connected control pin LED to AO0 & AI0 of surveillance in the NI MAX test panel and LED control on the ground at AO - GND & GND HAVE since I have both USB-6001 and USB-6211, I conducted tests on two of them with the same setting of wire. When I generate sine wave - 5V to 5V to AO0 (from NI MAX test panel), USB-6001 can monitor the same signal AI0, but watch USB-6211 - 3, 4V to 3.4V voltage truncated. I did the test separately (wiring one device at a time), so there is no interference between the two devices. USB-6211 past self-calibration and self-monitoring. Also, I did reset devices. I don't know why they would behave differently with the same configuration, and I hope that someone could help with this question. Thank you.

    Hi skuo1008,

    The USB-6001 can support + / 5 output current my from terminals to analog output, while the USB-6211 box can provide only +/-2 my current output.  It is likely that the load impedance is too low, causing the 6211 to hit its current compliance and thus cut the tension.  If you try to exchange your load with a resistance of at least 5 v/.002A = 2500 Ohms, you should be able to see the full +/-5V sine wave.  I suspect that your DUT has a words 3.4V/.002A = 1700 Ohms impedance.  You could use a device with higher output current or use a more current source buffer circuit.  If you do not need a bipolar output, you might also consider using digital lines to control the LEDs.

    Kind regards

  • Reconciliation of analog output NI USB-6210

    Using Labview, I am currently using an NI USB-6210 to produce a signal that a BOP of Kepco 50-2 M feeding programs. Unfortunately, this device NOR produced no analog voltage. Is it possible that I can use the digital output or against the unit OR to do something that approximates an analog output? I need a way to get the power output voltage has the supply to increase gradually in a predefined way. I only work with a couple of volts because of sensitive equipment, so accuracy is important.

    I don't have access to the program at the moment so I don't know what version of Labview that I use, but I'll be able to check in a few hours.

    Its probably not worth to use this device in a method not scheduled.  Cheeper with analog outputs are available.

    And don't forget the 4886 BIT card that can be purchased and hooked to your diet, there are even for using RS232 or GPIB device drivers to control the supply to

  • Output analog, the USB-6009 case - can I use DAQmxWriteAnalogScalarF64?

    I just got a NI USB-6009 and I try to use the outputs analog simple.

    I'm running on a Mac, so I'll try to use the API OR-DAQmx Base 3.2 C (downloaded from here: http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/1078/lang/en).  This is the most recent version of NOR-DAQmxBase, I could find.

    I try to do continuous analog output on the 6009, which does not have a built-in clock.   I was hoping to do the sync software and just new output values when I want to.

    I can't get an output of database to work.  Other messages and the example of Windows files, (e.g., National Instruments/NOR-DAQmx Base/examples/ao/MultVoltUpates-SWTimed.c) it seems that the best thing to do would be to use the DAQmxWriteAnalogScalarF64 function.

    However, this is not in the Mac version of the C API of NIDAQmxBase.  There is actually an entry for this in the NIDAQmxBase.h file, but it is commented out.  Anyone know why?  Is it possible to use this function for the analog output on request on Mac?

    Thank you.

    I have NEITHER-DAQmx Base installed 3.2 on a 10.4.11 system.  One of the examples files 'genVoltage.c' calls DAQmxBaseWriteAnalogF64.  I was able to compile and run this example with a USB-6009.

    The DAQmxBaseWriteAnalogF64 function would work for you?

    My guess is that, since you can write a scalar value with DAQmxBaseWriteAnalogF64, DAQmxBaseWriteAnalogScalarF64 becomes superfluous.  The example provided with the installation shows how to write a unique value (i.e. scalar.).  I pasted the code of OR below.

  • It is current on the analog module USB NI 9263 output voltage limit (+/-10 v)?

    It is current on the analog module USB NI 9263 output voltage limit (+/-10 v)? I try to run a current controlled resistance, but cannot get the required current. The servovalved has a parallel internal resistance of 80 ohms and requires 20 my full operation. Ohm's law: (.02 A) * ((80*80) /(80+80) ohms = 4.5 v) Yet, the required voltage, do not move the servo. Outside the material error (continue this by other means), what could be the problem?

    Have you checked the Manual?

    For servo, you really need some kind of amplifier.  See if the manufacturer provides the electronic driver for it.

  • Arbitrary signals output rate

    Hello, I'm trying this arbitrary signal by arbitrary simulation of output signals express VI. I want an exit point out analog of the DAQ USB 6281 every second. When I said to output a point by iteration I get error 200609 say the selected buffer size is too small (selected the size of the buffer: 1, minimum buffer size: 2) how can I change the buffer size? attached if my VI, just go under the 1 'arbitrary' case and you'll see my VI Express with points iv series.

    But you are passing an array many points so you should have to index this table point by point by putting the DAQ Assistant, in a loop with a delay of 1 sec. You can also spend the whole wave and specify a frequency of 1 Hz in the DAQ Assistant.

  • How can I check if the counter entry is synchronized with the analog output?

    Hello

    I'm working on an application for counting photons.  I use two channels of analog output on a PCI-6713 card to send a frame model to a set of XY scan mirrors.  I then a photon count unit that emits a TTL signal when the photons are detected as a result of this raster analysis.  I then use a surfboard USB-6211 to count the edges on this TTL signal.

    I have problems that seem due to synchronization problems.  I use the sample AO on the PCI-6713 card clock like the door of my meter on the map USB-6211.  I use a trigger to start digital to analog output and a trigger of arms for the entrance to counter early. Is there a way to check that the analog output and counter entry of start of operations at the same time and are are synchronized?  I basically want to monitor and compare the ao real sample of the PCI-6713 card clock door signal used by the jury of the USB-6211.  I was able to export the sample AO clock and watch it on my oscilloscope, but not the signal from the door of the USB-6211.

    Thanks for your help,

    Brian

    Update... It turns out that there is no problem of synchronization between my meter input and the analogue output.  There was a difference of impedance when I connected my unit of counting photons to my USB-6211.  This caused an error variable count rate.  After accouting for this shift, the problem disappeared.

  • Input/output USB 6008 test failure

    OK I am posting this for the third time, but whenever I go back to the home page of the forum, I'm not able to find my post. If by chance I created duplicates than apologies.

    IAM in train to test the USB-6008 case I just got and decided to hang the analog of the analog inputs and see using labview VI.the wiring was done as:

    http://i284.Photobucket.com/albums/ll5/bigdawg6/USB%206008%20wiring_zpss2b7hql9.jpg

    the problem is that the labview VI did nothing, so I go to NI Max and try to see in test panels. But I get 1.4V constantly my same analog input value when I'm changing my analog value:

    http://i284.Photobucket.com/albums/ll5/bigdawg6/AIO%20screenshot_zps9beiimbj.PNG

    the analog output works very well since I plugged it to my multimeter and I can see the tension that I see on this Panel of test:

    http://i284.Photobucket.com/albums/ll5/bigdawg6/AO0%20screenshot_zpsqpei37bw.PNG

    I created an entry/exit of the tasks; screenshots of them are:

    http://i284.Photobucket.com/albums/ll5/bigdawg6/task_ai_zpsix5se9yg.PNG

    I am quite frustrated with all this since I'm unable to access my actaul draft. I know that 1.4 V value is from the device itself; as in the manual it says 'internal resistance divider can cause the Terminal to float at about 1.4 V when the analog input terminal is configured as a CSR', but the funny thing is that I use it in differential mode so I don't know what to do and any help is appreciated.

    BTW, I did a google search and there are other tutorials onlune who seem to do exactly what I do and they seem to work very well; so I don't know what else to do.

    Please don't host images on some odd third-party site. Attach them to your message.

    I don't understand what you've done. The 6009 can produce only a signal of CSR in order to set up the differential input makes no sense. If you want to measure something different, try a simple battery.

  • Redeclenchables/continuous to a custom waveform analog output?

    Hello

    I try regular output an analog signal using the box USB-6211 and Labview2009. I looked at various examples of waveform, including the retriggerableAO.vi example, but I can't seem to understand how to send a 'waveform' custom stamp (terminology is perhaps the question). In all the examples (including waveformbuffer), I ran across the single waveform, the options are sine, square, etc.  Previously, I posted on this forum looking for hardware suggestions (link here) and explained what I try to do and got the big help. To sum up, I would like to read a 'waveform' from a text file, send it to the usb-6211 buffer and then continue to an analog channel. At the same time, I'll use the beginning of the analog task to trigger a digital signal once per cycle as well.

    I got in what concerns the establishment of the waveform, but am stuck to figure out how to get into the buffer and setting the frequency, etc.

    Thank you

    Hi Gabe,

    Dennis is correct that it will take some room to modify the existing screws to fit your need.  As he says, the Con Gen tension Wfm - Int Regeneration.vi Clk - no example provided with LabVIEW.  In the example, it can be shown that there is a custom VI used to explain the problems that arise when a waveform of a given frequency to a frequency of sampling and outputs analog specified.

    With all that said, it seems you want to read from an existing waveform file that you created and this waveform to an AO output channel.  There are a few things that will be needed to know before proceeding:

    -What is the waveform as you try to output (5000 samples, 10 k, 100 k, etc.)?

    -What pieces of the size of the wave you want output (100 samples at a time, etc.)?

    -you want to again and again, or simply run through once the waveform looping?

    Assuming that you already have the waveform and will only step by step, here's what I would like:

    -break the large waveform into smaller pieces of waveform of standard size

    -import the waveforms in LabVIEW and create an array of waveforms

    -bring the waveform in the example Dennis mentioned previously with automatic indexing enabled on the tunnel

    -Remove the generator of wave functions existing the while loop

    -wire your indexed table of waveform for the data of the VI DAQmx of analog output terminal

    It is possible that you will have to play with the settings of your waveform and timing of your VI, but this should be a good starting point.  Please let me know if something is not clear or if I have misunderstood your original message.  Have a beautiful reast of the day.

    Best,
