Creating a power supply Variable myDaq

Hello world

Just got my myDaq NOR the other day and just start playing with it.

I was a little disappointed to know that power supplies were not Variable (i.e. fixed 5V and +/-15V), but that's what I have for not reading the fine print .

I thought a Variable power supply would be a good pleasure first of all of the project, but have no idea where to start. I was hoping that you guys could give me some advice/point me in the direction to look.

I intend to use myDaq for mainly breadboarding for laboratories after EE.

Since the 5V power allows for the most recent shooting, I think it would be the first supply to build.

Can someone point me in the direction to move forward?

Thank you!

Hello Ernie,.

Function of the desired output voltage and and currently, there are a few approaches you can try.

Buffered outputs analog is the easiest method. You could probably get to +/-12V if you choose a small enough margin requirements with op amp and add 20% gain. You would use the +/-15V rails to power op amp (don't forget to consider the tolerance of rail), and you should limit your output to 32 spec my the +/-15v rail. The buffer is essentially a linear regulator, so be careful of the power dissipation of the amplifier at high currents.

Output currents higher with lower voltages, consider using a switching regulator. There are a variety of topologies based on the input-output voltages. Look for Buck to withdraw to an input voltage higher than a lower output voltage; Boost to intensify; Buck-Boost to step upwards or downwards. There are others, but these are simpler to start. You can use the outputs analog of the myDAQ to inject a voltage error in the feedback from the regulator to allow programmatic output voltage control. Take a look at sellers sites power supply chip (TI, Analog Devices, Linear Tech, National Semiconductor, etc.) for application notes and recommendations from component.

Another approach is regulatory digital switch command. These provide a detailed and read back functionality via a digital interface to the chip. Google "digital power" for ideas.

If you need more power, you will need to provide an external power supply or battery, but control could still come from the AO myDAQ or digital interface.

It can be a difficult exercise, but I hope this help to get you started.

  • 1V - 5v linear output using power supply 5v, voltage divider, and variable resistance

    How can I get 1v - 5v output linear using power supply 5v, voltage divider, and variable resistance?

    Have the you wired as an attachment?  Using my schema, you can calculate the current flowing through the pot based on the fall of the tension in the pot

    4V / 10Kohm = 0.0004

    Kirchhoff's current law, we know that the same current flows through the circuit so now we can calculate the leg below the wall, based on the current and the fall of desired voltage across the resistance

    1V / 0.0004 A = 2.5 K Ohm

    My scheme maintains the current flowing through the circuit of constant, so the voltage divider must never change.  Assuming a linear pot, you will get a swing of such linear voltage as measured at the wiper.  If you wired the pot, a different way, then more then likely, you change the total resistance of 5V ground that would have the common effect that would effect the tensions.

  • Power supply N6700B Low Profile pilot backward compatibility

    Hello

    I've recently updated the instrument for the Agilent N6700B Low Profile Power Supply drivers on my system. I run LabView 8.2.1. For some reason, the new LabView VIs have all their VISA Instrument inputs and outputs incompatible with my previous thread and definitions of port at the top level VI. We don't know yet what exactly is different, but I need to remove the wire and the port at the top level VI and re-create it. Do this for all my screws where this driver is used is very tedious...  Is this really a compatibility problem, and this is known?  No work around available?

    Unfortunately, I do not know what was the previous version of the driver N6700 overall.

    One thing I noticed and found strange: on a separate system where the pilot works fine (which I assume is the old driver), the pilot of VI property indicates the revision number is 104. On the newly updated system, the same driver VI property indicates that the revision number is 16. Does this mean my update failed?

    Thank you

    Benoit

    It was the source of the problem. I reinstalled the VISA type instead, and not everything works perfectly.

  • How to control the TTi QL564P Power Supply with USB connection?

    Hello

    When I connect the TTi QL564P power supply via the USB port I see not on MAX (peripherals and interfaces) the virtual serial connection. With GPIB, everything works great!

    I already downloaded the latest drivers on the site of the IFG.

    And I created a simple VI like this:

    OPEN--> VISA VISA WRITE ('V1?") --> DELAY (0.1 s)--> READING of VISA--> VISA CLOSE

    (works via GPIB, does not work via USB)

    VISA OPEN I have the name of resource VISA only the LPT1 and COM1 ports available... so where is the USB port (this virtual serial port, case)?

    VISA GPIB resource name is the ALIAS that I set on MAX...

    Thanks for the help

    OK, the solution was... on the front panel of the power supply, I replace the USB bus (I had default GPIB )

    Hello

    If you cannot find a component in Multisim, you can always create it using the Component Wizard (Tools menu), this is a basic tutorial:

    Creating components 101

    To create a component simulatable, it need a SPICE model. SPICE models are therefore created by manufacturers, visit the manufacturer's Web site to see if they have the model you need, you can also use a search engine.

    For your reference, I have attached a file Multisim with the LM723. You can save it in youruser database, just right-click on the component and select Save to DB component.

    I hope this helps, welcome to Multism!

  • Power supply hangs after running vi second time

    Hello
    I'm just starting my adventures in worlds of LabView and I encountered a problem with my first serious vi which is control CPX400DP power and oscyloscope DPO4104.

    What my vi should do:

    Firstly, it defines two supply channels current levels (5V on the first, 0V on the second, etc.) and the size of the jump (0, 5V for example). Then vi must change two levels depending on the size of the jump, and repeat until the current levels of the two channels would be opposite to the starting value (in this case, 0V on the first channel, 5V on the second). Also before every current change the vi would save to the file average measurements out of oscyloscope waveforms.

    What does my vi:

    In the first round, it seems he does everything in order (with resonable numbers a new text file is created). However, when I try to run the vi again my power supply freezes short after some changes underway. I can't stop the execution of the vi in LabView (it takes a while though), but to run the vi successfully, once again I have to reset my power (turn it works).

    I tried to work around this problem by modyfing the vi in such a way that he would do what I want several times during the running vi only once, but unfortunately that did not work.

    If someone would have any suggestions on what I am doing wrong or how to help solve this problem do not hesitate to share I don't bite... much , but seriously, I'm stuck with this problem for over a week and I will be happy to advice

    Thank you!

    Waldek.

    PS Sorry if I'm not clear somewhere but I'm not used to talk about programming in English
    PSS as attachments are my main vi and two sub live.

    Thanks to a suggestion from Bill, but could you elaborate a little bit on "try to insert; * MUTUAL FUND? After each setup command "? I understand what would make, concept wise, but as a new user, I don't know how to do this in LabView. And good Uncle Google says nothing about '; * MUTUAL FUND? "and insist to talk instead of OPC servers.

    I'm sorry - I looked at the manual and could not realize that the subVIs missing from your code actually were drivers for your diet, so you will not be able to implement this (unless the pilots themselves have the ability to 'Operation Complete' - I hope the drivers provided with the documentation).  Otherwise, you may be stuck having to hardcode waiting after each command.

    If you have written your own drivers, it's how send you the command set output 1 to 1 Volt:

    V1 1; * MUTUAL FUND?

    The V1 1 sets your voltage of 1 Volt.  To turn to another command, use the semicolon.  The * OPC? forces command him back send a '1 '.  As orders are followed in order, food cannot send the '1' until he gets treated the command set to 1 Volt.  When this command is complete, the '1' is sent, you read the 1 out of the buffer and move.  This avoids problems where you stack on too many commands at once.  I checked the manual and it supports this feature.

  • Change of power supply for the Alienware Aurora r4

    is it good?, fit into the section of PSU aurora r4? It will connect to the back plastic, that normal power supply is connected to the rear?

    Also I don't know anything about sata cables, but there so much that normal power supply I mean it will be able to connect to what it is now? (only the change requiring more sata is the addition of two extra hdd/ssd (there was a spare sata cables))

    and... I need something more than that? (some wires or something?

    Hello. I will address this, knowing that other users information. Your old harness case will be removed, the new chassis will have its own cables. The EVGA 850 GQ is ok, but the G2 is better, you can find them on Newegg / eBay / EVGA.com etc.

    • ALX not can use either type, due before access
    • ALX must use 'pass-thru' heads, like the originals, if the power is connected to the wall box

    EVGA uses these types of base with non - ALX SATA heads

    "standard heads.

    above, my Corsair cable has ALX-type amp heads:

    • the plastic is a two-piece, the rear insulation snaps off the coast
    • in an ALX installation, with the cable above, I would jump off the top, cut the wire to length, & apply two heads on it to mimic the original as close as possible

    If I had the EVGA SATA type?, I want to buy x 4 amp heads online:

    Note the two types of rear covers: "cap" (for superior insulation) & pass-thru-cap

    I would use these to "build" my own pair of cables to match the original cable pair, best I could. I could just shop any spare cable to amp heads, like here. My ALX has a set of hand-made cable, I already have the SATA cable mod, so they mimic the original case harness. Chassis no - ALX may not be no need for this type of care

  • Aurora-R5, size of PSU (power supply)?

    Hi all

    The R5 uses a standard size PSU? I can just pictures and thank you.

    FYI: with the edit function, you can change the title of your post to 'Aurora R5 Power Supply size', so clickers know what query

    It uses a standard size of W 150 mm x H 86 mm | 5.9 "x 3.4", where length / depth is the variable that changes according to the size / output etc. Their 460w is about 5.5 "long while their 850 is 7.5" long. Both of their power supplies will be manageable short cables even if a spare chassis can come with long cables (one size), where a sectoral approach to theirs in a new requires diligence to cable manage all new cables whilst being aware that the swing arm is to close entirely & the side panel back on , that's why care are guaranteed when you install a new chassis with new cables IE "slow work & think through '."

  • Requirements of power supply for the HD 5850 2 GB

    The newegg for the HD 5850 2 GB specs say I need a 500W power supply.  However, the form printed on the box of the HD 5850 2 GB said it requires a power of 600W.  I have a 560w PSU, can I get away with this or should I spend at least a 600W?

    Thank you, any help is appreciated.

    The amount of amperage on the bus + 12 volts is the important resource for video cards.  One manufacturer said a block of at least 450 Watt power SUPPLY.  Not all power supplies are created equal, but the power supply in your link has 46 amps on the bus + 12 volts and that's a single rail PSU.  This should be sufficient amperage.

    If you have an old HP PC, so it might be a compatibility problem with your motherboard and the HD 5850. Open your PC and do some measuring to ensure that the map will adjust.

    My MDD was recently stop only two or three minutes after a cold start. The power led lights up, the gray screen with the Apple logo appears with the spinning wheel, but then the machine suddenly loses power as if the power cord was disconnected. These are the things I've already tried:

    2. Disconnected all devices except the keyboard and the monitor
    3. Tried a different power cord

    Start in safe mode did not help. The fans are all running, the red LED lights on the logic board and disk drives seem to work. This could be a power supply issue or a problem with the motherboard and is it possible that I can definitely identify the problem without being able to start the G4?
