DAQ USB-6008 will be able to power and record voltage for UMS T5 blood pressure at the same time?

I would use my NI USB-6008 to power my blood pressure monitor UMS T5 (http://www.ums-muc.de/en/products/tensiometer/t5.html) but also to take readings of it, but I don't know if it's possible to do it properly. The power supply for the instrument can be as low as 5V, I can easily get the dedicated + 5V channel. I'm able to feed the instrument and connect it to an analog input on the 6008 and measure a voltage in differential mode. However, when you read the documentation of support for the instrument, I find the following:

"Potential pitfalls of data acquisition: the pressure transducer is configured in a full Wheatstone bridge, the input voltage and mV signal output can be connected to the same reference (mass)." Therefore, the mV output signal can be measured using a differential voltage measurement. Therefore, do not make an asymmetric measure of pressure transducer mV output. "(http://www.decagon.com/assets/Uploads/MeasuringUMSTensiometerswithnon-UMSControlandDataAcquisitionSystems.pdf)

My understanding is that the 6008 can take a differential measure if I attach the signal '+' and the signal "-" to the analog inputs of positive and negative terminals. However, it seems that all the ports of ground on the 6008 are grounded to the same reference, which would make my measure of invalid tension according to the above paragraph. So my real question is: if I try to record the voltage with one of the analog inputs on the 6008 in this way, is the valid measurement? Or I need to find a separate power supply, with a different reference field to ensure that the measure is accurate?

The technical details of this device is very poor. The manual is not much better. Companies that want to sell scientific equipment should publish decent cards or get out of business.

In section 3.4.3 General requirements the device is described as a "bridge not amplified circuit.  This information along with the impedance of the bridge should be in the specifications, because it is essential to apply the device under any circumstances other than the nominal behavior in 10.6 V.

The answer to your question is:

You can use it with the box USB-6008.  The 5 V supply will result in output voltages a little less than half (5/10.6) the voltage specified in nominal conditions. You can use the differential input mode on the box USB-6008.  The absolute input voltages will be approximately 2.5 V with the 5 V power supply. This voltage is in the range of the aircraft. The differences are likely to be less than 100 mV. The resolution of the USB-6008 on the + /-1 V is located about 0.5 mV so your resolution of pressure will be about 1% of full scale. The voltage input impedance and termination of the USB-6008 will present a few errors.  These can be in the order of 5 to 10%. I can't predict much better without the missing bridge impedance specification.  These errors should be relatively constant and systematic. A calibration of the whole system - sensor and together hardware DAQ should allow you to compensate for a large part of this error.

    Hello

    I checked the manual of the Satellite A65 and there I can find information that the Power LED blinks orange indicating the machine is in standby mode. So for me it sounds like that your laptop is in sleep mode.

    What happens if you click Start > stop and choose the closing down in the menu drop-down? Normally, the power LED button must be turned off and also the laptop is in sleep mode.

  • Using the DAQ USB-6009 meter and an analog input voltage at the same time.

    Hello

    Currently, I'm reading the two channels of voltage with the USB-6009. It happens that one of the channels is the output of a digital coder, and it would be much easier to use it directly to the PFIO entry that is defined as a counter. The problem I am facing right now, it's that I can't use the DAQ Assistant to use the analog voltage to a channel and the digital channel counter at the same time. Once I put the DAQ Assistant to read the input from analogue voltage, I won't be able to add analog inputs. And as I put the DAQ Assistant to use the PFIO as a counter, I can add more entries to read analog voltage is.

    I wonder if it is possible to solve this problem using the lower level data blocks? Another solution would be to read two channels in analog input voltage and that the use of Matlab to process data resulting from it, since I was not able to do the counting to work simultaneously with the acquisition in Labview to impulses.

    Hope you guys can help out me.

    Thanks in advance.

    Using a simple wizard of DAQ is incorrect. You need one to acquire analog inputs and one for the meter.

  • I can't get two cards USB worked at the same time

    I use Labivew 8.6 to program an application using NI UBB-9211 and USB-6211 connection to two USB ports on my PC in order to measure the temperature and pressure (voltage) at the same time. Also, I need to generate two AOs of USB-6211 to drive my engines. I tested two cards, they are OK. But when I program them together, I get only 9211 worked, an error poped to acquisition of data USB-6211. Could you please help me on this? advice or examples of VI / would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    Hi navistar.

    It seems that you should be able to do what you are trying to accomplish. Can you post some information about the error you receive? You use the lower level Assistant DAQ or DAQmx screws in your application? You can post a screenshot of your code where it is merged together and easier troubleshooting. You use any trigger of your application? We have examples in the example Finder (help > find examples) under Hardware Input and Output > DAQmx. These examples are a good place to start to build your application. If you already have the code work for each instrument and you have problems combining them, it might be easier to work with where you are at as opposed to leaving it everywhere.

  • What should I upgrade to be able to change the 10 cameras at the same time?

    I'm doing a video for live events and I must be able to modify the 10 cameras at a time.

    My system I've set up 2 years ago has a 3.4 ghz Ivy bridge i7, 32 GB of ram and a 2 GB video card. When I do multi camera changes in adobe first, I can only do 3 or 4 at a time with fluidity, using the camera multi monitor, but when I try 5 or more, it does not really play. The audio plays fine, but the video is just a frame every second couple.

    I tried mounting on an internal hard drive WD black, which is 7 200 rpm, but I found that I get the same results on a WD my book edition (which is a hard drive WD Green running to 5 400 rpm) via USB 3.0.

    What should I upgrade to be able to play all 10 cameras at the same time? A high-end video card? Which one? Do I need an esata raid configuration? Is what I ask to do even possible or not first even stand that?

    What version of first? The GPU acceleration is activated? You may need to apply a 'hack' at first, so that it actually uses the GTX 560 for the Mercury engine.

    Runs in 'Software only' mode, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro and search the text file called "cuda_supported_cards.txt".

    Rename or delete this file - without this list of cards "approved," to look at first will use ANY card that meets the minimum criteria.

    I do not use the Multicam feature myself, but as an experiment, I piled about 20 layers of AVCHD, using multiple PIPS on the entire screen, and he plays them back well. The GPU acceleration will help no doubt if that is not currently enabled

  • More often than in other music Apple will not be broadcast on my iMac, but at the same time, it will be on my iPad

    I am continually frustrated with Apple's music streaming on my iMac.  Looks like a song loads, but never gets started playing.  I always thought the problem was my internet connection, but lately I discovered that, although my iMac does not load a song, if at the same time, I use my iPad on my wifi it loads and plays immediately.  What is the problem with the music does not not on my iMac?

    Hello Lucyskye,

    Thank you for asking your question here in Apple Support communities. I understand you want to be able to play your music. I can't do anything without my music all day. Let me give you what I can to help you solve this and get your music to play on the iMac.

    I don't want to bring music to Apple implemented correctly first. Apple's music composition only allows you to stream music from Apple on one device at a time, unless you have a family membership. Even if you have a family membership, you can still only broadcast on one device at a time by Apple ID. For this reason, I suggest isolate us the devices first and this test with the iMac.

    1. exit the Apple music on the iPad. Please leave the app. You can do this by double tapping the home screen and drag the application to the top music. This article has the instructions and example pictures. Force a nearby application on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    2. restart the iMac.

    3. If the problem persists, start the iMac in Mode safe mode and see if the load and play songs. (Although the speakers will be disabled, just visually see if she manages to go anywhere where it usually hangs up on. This article talks about fashion without failure: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up

    4. you want to then also to test in a Test user. This article helps with that. How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

    If the problems remain and music will not play on the iMac in Mode without failure or user Test, then we want to stop the iMac. Back to the iPad, then click Settings > cellular and disable cellular data for a while. Make sure your iPad is only able to use a Wi - Fi connection and not able to access cellular data if the songs will not play on your Wi - Fi network. Then, open the app music again and try to play a song.

    If the music will not play one cell time is off, the cause is some parameters with your wireless network. You can check this information for the most common causes of problems with home networks. First of all, make sure that you use a wireless network open as your home network. If you connect to a Wi-Fi as a school, work, or other business, the airport, a military base or a hotspot of a network type, it probably won't work because these types of high security and high traffic and high security networks. They do not have the necessary data back causing problems exactly like the one you are currently experiencing.

    Do you use any third-party firewall (even on the router!), protection against viruses or proxies (which hide your identity on the internet)? Some security applications also do, but are called only for security or VPN. These few apps with names like Astrall or Webroot Secure Anywhere Antivirus, antimalware apps. There are literally hundreds of these applications that block the incoming ports that will not allow the function runs.

    If you want to check that the port is open on your iMac and the network, you can use this article: port TCP test between computers and peripheral connectivity. Apple music uses port 80, and iTunes music sharing is port 3689. You can find a list of all the ports used by Apple here: TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software.

    You can also find these two useful articles if you find that the problem is with your network.

    Solve the problems between iTunes and third-party security software

    Don't forget to turn your cellular data within settings > cellular on the iPad once you're done test. Just in case music plays in Safe Mode or the Test user, you work through this article to resolve the issue. Mac OS x: how to solve a problem of software.

  • Branch 2 HDS of identical USB at the same time - only ever go up.

    I have two new Basics Canvio USB 3.0 external HDs. Each works very well on their own, but if I try to connect both at the same time, the other to be connected is never displayed on my Windows Player 10 list, although in the Device Manager, the two are shown as working properly. Connecting them through a powered external hub makes no difference. Exactly the same problem occurs on two different computers (desktop Dell and Samsung laptop computer).
    East - the fact that they are identical will cause the problem? I changed the name of the volume on one of them, so that there is no shock. Any ideas?

    Resolved after playing with the Windows Disk Management utility (search for "create and format hard disk partitions" to find) and by assigning explicitly different letters for new readers (one at a time). When the two connection, the other would be so let me click the 'online' to align it with the list of drive to explore.

  • DAQ Assistant Express Vi to acquire and generate data at the same time in LABView

    Can I run acquire it and generate the Express Assistant DAQ Vi at the same time in a LABView program? I am using LABView 2010.  It's acquire and generate a NI USB-6009.

    Thank you

    Mary

    You can acquire and generate the same VI but obviously you can't generate a wave form unless you do a single point at a time inside a loop with a sample on request and can live with low samples/s specifications.

  • At the same time Record several channels in DAQ

    I'm currently configured to play two channels in data acquisition using DAQ Assistant. I wonder what would be the best way to go on the sampling of these channels at the same time, or as close as possible. The vi that I currently use is attached.

    Thank you

    Sawyer

    DAQmx manages the calendar under the hood and does it quite well.  If you want to change advanced sync settings you can, but of course, you will have to abandon the DAQ ASSistant and write a LabVIEW code.

    I assume you are using a multiplexing card right?  The only real solution for true simultaneous sampling is to buy a card that has several a/d converters like the S series cards.

    For the second poster: you do not have the same problem as the op.  It can be implemented in multiple channels.  If you want to help, you must provide further information that "it gives an error.

    EDIT: I bet you are trying to use separate tasks for each entry, aren't you.  If you do, you'll get a resource conflict error.  You must use a SINGLE task and set up several channels in this task to collect more than one signal.

  • MAX cannot find two usb cameras at the same time

    Hello

    I want to use two cameras usb (Thorlabs DCC 1545 M) in NOR-IMAQdx in Labview, but it cannot find a single camera (the one plugged earlier), and also a single camera is shown in MAX. Both cameras working in the manufacturer's software, and if I unplug the 1 unit, the 2nd will be displayed in MAX after a refresh.

    I found that one camera is supported for each USB hub in Labview, and all USB ports in this computer correspond to a same hub online. I don't know if this is causing the problem.

    In fact, I need to take the picture in both cameras at the same time, a switch programmed between the two cameras will work for me.

    Any suggestion and comment will be appreciated.

    Hello Hosni,

    According to this link, you can acquire from multiple USB cameras simultaneously.  The limitation is on the manufacturer and how they interface with the bus of DirectShow.  When you use two cameras of the same make and model, it sometimes happens that not enough information is not IMAQdx to distinguish between the two cameras.  When you switch to MAX cameras, they come as different cameras, or they appear actually virtually the same?

    Since you said switching between them might work, I found an example that does just that.  Just make sure you give a name to each camera single camera.  I hope this will be useful for you.

    In addition, there is a bit of discussion on this topic on the forum of discussion already.  Check out these related threads, or use the search box to search for more.  There is much information available!

  • How to take snapshots of two usb camera at the same time

    Hello

    I have a project where I have to take still photos of two usb camera at the same time repeatedly and save the in a particular direcltory. I am received using a camera by using "Camera Grab vi", but I can't make it work with 2 cameras, I use the flat sequence and 2 "Camerra Grab vi: with particular camera in a sequence, but each time when I run the program I get only pic of a camera, its seems a camera dominates the other.»

    Please is it possible to use the two camera simultaneously. Attached are the snapshot of my vi.

    Thank you

    Ankit G

    Looks like you are using the same reference at the same time grabbing the camera. The two camera snaps happen but the second camera clamp is written on the first so it seems alone is slam. Try to run the VI executiong highlighted arbitrary mode (select icon icons four bulb to the right of the button run on the schema). This will allow you to see the data stream. In order to get both of these Snap you'll need separate references. You can try to watch one of our examples in the example Finder OR give you some direction (LabVIEW > help > find examples > Browse tab > Input and Output material > IMAQdx > high level > Snap.vi). You can break the two cameras at the same time if you just copy this code and double of the code.
    (Note: If you change the examples, always save as copy in another location so that you do not save on the packed example)

Maybe you are looking for
