Convert DAQmx task IDS in a string

I'm using LabVIEW to perform a generation analog DAQmx and I call my LabVIEW of CVI code via a dll.  I want to make two separate calls, one to start a task DAQmx and one to stop the task, so I need to either:

(1) move a task ID DAQmx CVI and then again to LV

or

(2) convert a string of the ID for the task, pass it to CVI and then back to LV and then convert back to a task ID in LabVIEW.

I'm sure that option 2 is the easiest option, but I don't know how to convert back and forth between a string and a task ID DAQmx.  Can anyone help with this?

Thank you

Joe

Nathand is correct, it's pretty easy convert from/to the task DAQMX and String.  The two below

Hmmmm is note expected or a bug?

Feedback probably need an expert of DAQmx to answer that - I think it might be related to level DAQmx tasks

  • Programmatically, create a multi-channel DaqMX task

    Is there a way to create a task of multichannel DaqMX programmatically, without having a task to copy?

    Yes and it is an easy way to find a way to do it.

    Start by creating a task in MAX (Ben, but I want to avod MAX!) Don't be afraid that it's just a one time event that will allow us to know what are the steps)

    Go to a block diagram and steady decline DAQmx task on the diagram and choose the task you created in MAX.

    Right click and select 'create configuration and example '. LV will create the code that goes with the taks.

    Study the config VI that was created. It will show you what it takes to create a task without MAX.

    I hope that helps!

  • DAQmx task Read DAQmx with sampling frequency of 10 Hz produced much too much data

    I have a simple configuration with a strain of channel 4 OR-9237 amp holds a carrier of series C of WLS - 9163 (wired ethernet mode) - Details probably does not matter.

    I used MAX to create a DAQmx task associated with which all four gauges samples.  The calendar setting is "Scan Loads" is continuous sampling, 2 k buffer (read samples) and 10 Hz rate.  I guess that this task would generate 40 data values per second - 10 for each channel.

    I have a simple loop of reading using DAQmx Read.vi that works always (without any stimulation time).  Playback is set to read all available data and then pump it into a table.
    In the attached example, I also added a few words of debugging to stop the loop after N iterations.

    As the loop is programmed with a 0.2 second period, I expect each pass of the loop to read about 8 samples or 2 samples per sensor.  Instead, I get hundreds each passage.  It's like reading has substituted the sampling frequency specified in the task of the unit.  I absolutely need data to be material to the rhythm.

    Where have I lost?

    Thanks Adnan,

    I changed your example I selected 'Strain gage' entry analog and then lowered the minimum and maximum thresholds to +-1-2.  What happens is that each other in the loop, I 2048 samples or zero samples.  The display flashes a whole line and then it clears any other past.

    In response to your second post, I understand that the loop cannot run quite right that I select.  I think that, but at a sampling frequency of 10 Hz, I have to sleep on the software side for nearly a minute before I built 2 K samples.

    I played with the frequency of sampling, assigning to various values from 0.1 to 10000Hz.  The behavior is the same until I approach the high rates where available samples remains to 2048-4096 sometimes, the display becomes continuous.

    Ahhh, Darn.  Yet another search was this link that points to the root of my confusion.  The 9237 can taste arbitrary rates using its internal clock.  Duoh!  I wish that the pilots are smart enough to warn you if there is a discrepancy between the selected sampling rate and capabilities of the device

  • How to add DaqMX task to an existing project

  • How to set up wizard DAQ or DAQmx tasks using an external text such as a CSV file?

    I work in an environment were we have a lot of users VI. I develop the VI and technical personnel using the GUI (cover Page) to collect the data. In order to control the input parameters used on multiple hardware platforms, I'd like to develop a generic VI which will import or read a text file I created, and configures the DAQmx tasks to perform data acquisition. In fact, I have the generic VI full and need to understand how to make configurations DAQmx more transparent for the end user as long as the end user has the text file to import. For example, to generate the wizard DAQ DAQmx tasks based on information from text file?

    I don't have time to do more than just a small example. The VI below contains a table with table fixed index functions. This would have changed to get automatically the correct rows and columns, but I hope that you have an idea. I does not have any code to define the type of temperature measurement or to set the correct configuration of Terminal. All of this plus all other possible options will be treated similarly to the definition of the type of channel and min/max which is located in the example.

Recently, we tried a new use case - short sessions (60 min) measures running in sample rate = 100 and samples per channel = 100 after a few iterations, we continue to get access violation exception:

  • How to store a DAQmx task properties effectively?

    Hello everyone and happy new year!

    I would like to be able to keep track of all the DAQmx task settings (and canals) in a file, regardless of the content of the DAQmx task / channel is. So far, the only way I've found is to use a task DAQmx / channel property nodes and treat every property possible. However, since they are so many properties, each being is not valid for any material or task / channel type, it's a really big job and I'm rather lazy

    So I ask here if someone has already dealt with THIS or have any idea?

    Hi Hillman,

    Thank you very much for the link. Related documents Silly me had neglected tdm... Your link is indeed very useful, as I do right now exactly the same way it's done the:

    • DAQmxTaskInfoQuery.vi
    • General info.VI DAQmx TEDS

    As part of the download in the link you gave.

    Exepted this code is much more readable than mine, so I guess I don't need to view my ugly code incomplete. Many things interresting, thank you very much. I'll be back if I have something better to give as a reference.

  • DAQmx task: MAX or lvproj?

    Experts,

    What are the benefits to declare tasks DAQmx either in the lvproj or Max?

    My question because I'm calling a VI of TestStand test, and when the DAQmx task constant is declared in the project (lvproj) which holds the criterion VI, it does not perform properly, saying can't find the reference or something.

    If I change the DAQmx task to be a global task in MAX everything works as expected.

    What is the best practice to do this kind of things?

    Thank you very much

    LR2

    TestStand does currently not support execution of VIs a project. So unfortunately, we expect the behavior that you see where to call a VI that uses a DAQmx task defined in a project does not work. For now, if you do want to keep your configuration of the task outside the source code and you want to use these task for TestStand, you must store the Max.

    We are looking for by adding support for the performance of screw a project in a future version of TestStand.

    The short answer is no. Essbase calc language does not provide a function for number of string converstion.

    However, you can download the cdf JgetString and use it. It works very well for things like this.

  • Configuration of extraction of DAQmx task ID...?

    Hello

    Is it possible to set up channels in a pull-out TaskID? I know it's just a number, which I think refers to an entry in a table of tasks taking into the configuration details. Regardless of whether I'm right or not, is it possible to decipher the task ID accurate and detailed on the co-content channels?

    Thanks in advance,

    You try to reverse engineer a task only from the handle of the task or you have access to the task handle after it's been created?

    If this is the first, it is not that you can make the raw string, because the task must exist on the computer for any information about her.  If a task is saved, it will appear in MAX.

    If the task was created dynamically and still exists on the machine, you can use the task to stop DAQmx to stop the task and then to study its properties using different DAQmx properties.  You can use the task property NOR-DAQmx 'Channels' to get an array of all the channels in the task.  Then, you can use different properties DAQmx channel on each channel to obtain more precise information on the channels.  Triggering and synchronization, simply use the associated properties.

  • DAQmx tasks name variable

    Can someone explain why use a variable LabVIEWIOControl to keep the name of the task of DAQmx, Labview causes the sequence editor to become extremely slow. The vi attached does nothing more to open a chan (output on a pxi-6723) and its closure via the parameter of OPERATION enum (see teststand sequence).

    To simulate the problem, right click on the Action step and select "define the module." Once the tab "module" is open, click back and forth between Action 1 and 2 of the Action (1,2,1,2, 1.etc). You should see some delay, pulling up info from module of step up 2-1.

    My 'real' application works well, but a step of editing may take 10 seconds to get the info from the module. Note: This is the type of variable only what causes this problem that I have used cluster, string, enums, tables ect in the past without problems.

    I have attached a seq teststand advocating the vi.

  • DAQmx tasks for Subvi of good practices

    Hello

    I wonder about the best way to create the subVIs that don't repeatitive entry analog and digital output several times in a program. Specifically, should I create a new task using DAQmx create channel in the Subvi or should I create the task in the main VI and put the task in the subVIs? Create and delete a new string into a Subvi would affect the States of digital output line (for example to change a line in the default state) after that the program will stop at the Subvi?

    I'll collect digital 6-channel analog inputs and 2 outputs to control a magnet. The program only collects analog inputs for 5 seconds each time (based on the user's selection) and active the magent or not based on the analog input.

    I update an old program LV traditional data acquisition functions allowing to use the new DAQmx features. The old program was written in LV 8.6 and used the DAQCard-6036E card and I update it LV 2013 and the USB-6212 mass unit.

    Thank you

    Frank

    If you call this VI a good amount, then I create the task in advance and pass it in.  Re-create the task just request in trouble, especially since I don't see you close either.

  • Cannot rename the old DAQmx tasks via NI MAX

    Hello

    I NI MAX 15.3 and DAQmx 15.1.1 installed.

    I am facing a strange problem. When I try to rename any task DAQmx via NI MAX, I get this error message:

    The thing is, the chosen name is NOT in use and does not contain illegal characters! (I tried several names, including "X" and "MyTask"). The same thing happens to the tasks associated with devices, simulated and real devices.

    The other weird thing is, I can create a new task from scratch, and I can rename this task without any problem. However, I am still not rename my old tasks.

    I suspect some sort of corruption of database NI MAX. How can I find the cause and fix?

    EDIT: more signs of corruption: if I delete something 'new', nothing happens. If I delete something 'old', NI MAX silently crashes to the desktop.

    Thank you!

    You can reset the database to MAX through the link below: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2C7480E856987FFF862573AE005AB0D9

  • How to copy DAQmx task without the help of MAX?

    Howdy-

    I hit a bit of trouble here I think points to a fundamental misunderstanding I can have on DAQmx channels and tasks.  I can hack together a workaround, but I would like to know how to do these things, common sense.

    In a Word, I prefer to do everything in the code and not use MAX.  For my application, I would like to create a single channel/task initialized with all the scaling, the physical channel parameters and units (it is what is, in my case, a 'channel').  I would then like to create copies of this channel/task and configure each with parameters of specific task of sampling... corresponding to what I would call the "tasks" to use "Channel".

    I'll have no chance, so of course, I do not understand what I do.  Any reading/posts I've met use MAX.  Here's what I've tried so far:

    Even when you try to use MAX, I am the breath.  Any help straightening on my confusion here is very appreciated.

    Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

    In fact, you're not confused.  In this instance of National Instruments is perhaps...

    See the links ofthese ideas in the link.

    But a 'task' is really just a section in an XML file.  If this file is named *.lvproj the project has access to tasks.  If this file is *.nce any labview application has access to tasks.  If this file is created by the RTE that vi has access to the task.  In short, the "tasks" are never really defined by 'Code' but by the XML code to the file than declairs them and teir properties.  Tasks need to be defined a time-preference during design - project

    Yes, it's a bit simplistic but a good analogy!

    Go ahead and kiss MAX to set your tasks... use DAQmx property nodes if you need to programmatically determine a task property.   "do everything in code" as you say is just not really the way it is... the way I think you hear it...  'S really not 'made it in the code"but rather how LabVIEW is inherintly multithreaded.  The IDE just handles it for you "So easy that could encode a cave man!  Relax and let it work the way it does work for you.
