How is data acquisition works in Labview


Signal Express is a software from National Instruments project (evolved from the previous software as recorder of NOR) which offers basic data acquisition features: acquire signals, signals, filter, log file, displaying output.  LabVIEW is a programming language that allows you to do all these things, but much, much, much more.

If you use a LabVIEW so you need not Signal Express.  You use DAQmx features in LabVIEW to acquire data of your DAQ hardware.  Start by reading http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5438/en.  Actually, there is a lot of information on DAQmx.  Look in LabVIEW in the Finder of the example.  Search ni.com DAQmx and filter on the tutorials.

  • How can I use other companion DAQmax and data acquisition in labview code?

    Hello

    I'm new in labview and want to combine four different codes of labview and run them at the same time.

    I use my data acquisition PCI-6071E and BNC-2120. I want to send an analog output (flat DC signal) to control a blower, an analog volmetre to a (DC) output pressure transducer, also receive data from a pressure sensor and hot wire probe.

    I wrote four different VI for each of them (using DAQmax to output analog and DAQ assistant for analog inputs) and each of them works well, but when I want to use them together they do not work.

    Anyone know how to make them work together?

    Thank you

    To the DAQ Assistant, simply follow the instructions for the selection of multiple channels when you create (where he says quite clearly,' ' or to select multiple channels "). If already created, open the DAQ Assistant and click on "Add channels" at the top of the page.

    When you use a physical channel name, you simply click on browse instead of a single channel. Use the same or for multiple channels.

  • Where are the guidelines on how to interface custom for LabVIEW data acquisition equipment?

    I have a need to do some very specialized data acquisition that may require special hardware for the building. I would still use LabVIEW as the front end and maybe even wear parts of the interface of the final product. However, I can't find the documentation. Where is that is kept? I've seen references to a number of generic protocols, no links back to the details, which may be appropriate. The data are a band high bandwidth, but bursty with sampling frequency up to 40 MHz and events that lasts about 100 milliseconds. Can anyone recommend various methods would be most suitable for this application?

    According to what you do with the DAQ cards, they can do the job however, from experience, there are some functions that I could achieve with the cards NOR that I couldn't with 3rd-party maufacturers.  This does not mean that this is your case. However, it is worth noting that it took me a while to understand why the code has worked with a single data acquisition card (NOR) but not another (Non-OR).

    The drivers that you have installed may or may not include examples and code in VI.  They may be DLL.  If this is the case, you can write LabVIEW "Wrappers" around these functions, as it will simplify your life.  If the drivers are in the form of DLLs, and there are no examples of LabvIEW or available VI, you must read on node library function call.

  • LabVIEW data acquisition Setup Multifunction DAQ

    I have doubts as to the acquisition of data in the LabView environment. I used the block diagram (Figure 1) below to review the update of the readings for the execution of a loop.

    Block 1 has been used to enable a task (first steps) with 3 channels (al) analog input AI3 and even set up the channel. In this case, the data bus (data-block 4) are construindos by 4 columns of data (provided by task 3 AI3 more).

    Block 2 is used to set the sampling rate in this case is 1 Hz (1 sample per channel x 1 rate).

    In this case, it worked as I expected (Figure 2). This allows to conclude that the interval between each sample was 1 second. The saw took a second in the iteration.

    The second step was to change the amount of data sampled in accordance with Figure 3 channels in block 3.

    Now, each channel showed 10 samples, while there are 4 channels configured, we have 40 samples. In this case the iteration totalled 10seconds (point to 1 Hz and 10 samples per channel-figure 4).

    The first question is what is the time between each sample obtained by channel?

    In this type of configuration (multiple channels), block 3 provides 10 samples in each channel, as well as the sampling is done, IE, the block gets 3 10 samples from a channel and passes to the next channel or gets 1 comp each channel and repeat this process up to 10 samples per channel?

    What is the best way to make sure that the interval between each sample is constant?

    If anyone knows any text that explains what the function blocks of data acquisition information please.

    Thank you

    Gabriel

    Well, there are several ways to read the signals of multiple signals, and each of them has different behavior. I couldn't see how you get mutiple channels, because in the two codes, you set a channel in your codes. Take a look at this figure:

    Here you can see how to set multiple channels using DAQmx, using commas to separate the channels. About the ways different ways that you can read the signals, you can look at the links I sent in my first post to learn more about them.

    In a few words, the time between samples from the same channel is T = 1/Fs, corresponding to the sampling frequency Fs. It is not a rule to determine the interval between samples from different channels, because it will depend on how you did your code, and as I sad, there are different ways to do. You can acquire the samples at the same time, or you can configure your code to read a fixed number of points of a channel and then read another fixed number of samples to another channel (https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-28279). You can acquire a finite number of points, or you can acquire all the time. Yet once, take a look at the material that I have already sent. It will help you find the best solution to achieve your code according to your application.

    Kind regards

  • How to send data from CANOE to LABVIEW

    Hello

    I need to receive data from canoe in Labview.

    I prepared the VI (ex command.vi) sender and receiver VI (Simple UPD - receiver.vi) attached.

    My problem is:

    (1) when I run Canoe (arrested measure) and send the command start-> Canoe starts measurement. (OK)

    (2) when I run VI receiver and send the command Start-> receiver receives the command. (OK)

    (3) when I run the canoe, then run VI receiver and send the command start-> receiver VI receives command but DO NOT canoe starts measurement (canoe does not receive order). (NOK)

    I use the FDX Protocol (UDP-based) and it looks like canoe and receiver VI can work simultaneously on the same port (2809).

    How can I solve this problem?

    PS: Later I want to put the canoe in free run mode to control the Labview application so I need to work VI receiver with canoe.

    OK, now I get it.

    Is there a reason that you need three applications (transmitter + receiver + canoe) at the same time?

    Could not put the sender and receiver in a VI? That would solve your problem of port.

    Another way would be to send messages to general circulation, so canoe and the other VI can receive.

    A third option would be to send the message twice, once at canoe, once the receiver VI.

  • How to increase the speed of data acquisition?

    Look at the Terminal stop of the DAQ Assistant Express VI. You are starting and stopping of the task for the acquisition of data on each iteration of the loop.

    Starting from the help file:

    Stop

    Specifies to stop the task and release device resources when this Express VI ends execution. For ongoing tasks, this entry is FALSE by default, which means that the task is running until the application terminates. To stop the task, you can use the device again in the same application, wire control wire you the Conditional stop this entry to the same terminal of the while loop. For single-point and finished tasks, this entry is TRUE by default, which means work stoppages after all samples are acquired. To optimize the performance of single point when using this Express VI into a loop, wire control wire you the Conditional stop this entry to the same terminal of the while loop.

    Also from the help file:

  • How to get to multiple data acquisition voltage signals

    Hi guys,.

    I have to run an event for children to play with different types of energy production, so we have a wind turbine, solar panel and a generator. I have all of them connected to the ports of entry of the C USB DAQ series, I can't seem to find a way to make data acquisition out all three voltages simultaneously, the DAQ assistant in labview won't do it, AFAIK. I need all the outputs of all so that the children can see the reknewables plus and then complete the lack to win with the "power station" generator, so I need them all running at the same time. I had a quick glance at similar problems, but I don't see how they are relatable to my case.

    I have attached the vi below, thanks for your help.

  • How to find the time between two channels of entry in the data acquisition card or pci 6036

    Hello

    I read a lot-related posts on the simultaneous measurement of two input voltage of similar channels in map data acquisition. I know that the best material is "simultaneous measurments of the Series DAQ cards" but I only pci data acquisition card 6036 and I try to understand what is the time between the reading of the two channels . This period is always constant? (must it rely on a voltage (amplitude, frequency, waveform..). I send the sine wave (s) to the two channels and read the values of V, if they read the same value, the difference should always be zero but I get-0,002 to 0.002 Volt difference (I must find a way to convert it in time). A screenshot of my VI is attached. I wonder how I can accurately measure the time delay between the channel.

    I am open to any suggestion, my final goal to read exactly two channels at the same time ((ou connaître le délai exact donc je peux correspondre les données correspondantes étant donné le temps de retard))

    Hi spinup,

    better you should post your question in the forum of LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI is used

    Good luck.

  • Input module of data acquisition can be read by two or more LabVIEW vi at the same time % 3F

    I use the DAQ palette in LabVIEW to read the virtual channels of the input data acquisition module. I've done several VI who read many entries of three modules of simulations. The problem appears when I run two or more VI´s reading entries from the same virtual module (for example. first.VI module 1 input ai0 and second.VI bed ai0 entry module 1 bed), when this happens the next errors are shown:

    Error-50103

    Platform AND Services: The specified resource is reserved. The operation could not be performed as indicated.

    and

    Error-200022

    Resource requested by this task has already been reserved by another task.

    It's worrying because I want to get the DAQ chassis and some modules, but if this problem is present with physical equipment my application may be unnecessary. This means that entry module only can be read once at the time?

    I m using global variables in each Subvi to share data with main VI, however, I found the solution in a different way... I just changed to single channel and dbl sample playback mode, so I Don t need to clean up the task of reading in my subVI´s, the zeros isn´t problem here, and the six subVI´s work at the same time!

    Thanks for the tips!

  • Treatment of LabVIEW data and high speed data acquisition C

    Hi all

    I am designing a data acquition VI high speed of 3 cards acquition of data at the maximum speed. Data cards are PCI 2517 Measurement Computing. The sampling frequency for each card is 1 M samples/second, if the total sample of M 3/second of three cards. Problem is the LabVIEW drivers and the screws provided by the provider works very well just for a single card at maximum speed, but does not support multiple cards at maximum speed. Their technical engineer advised me to write code in c#, C++ or VB.NET for this data acquition high speed. If I use C forever, I would like to use LabVIEW for processing of the acquired data to data acquisition. I came across a few examples that suggest the creation of dll C code and then calling it a LabVIEW. But those who have programs simple and none of them speak in C data acquisition. My questions are,

    1. is it possible to call a C data acquisition program high speed of labview and not work in any kind of present of buffer overflow?

    2 would it not simple best to use labwindows CVI?

    3. is there another alternative solution that I'm missing?

    I'll appreciate all the entries.

    Thank you!

    Nilesh-

    It's pretty easy.  Arguments for CINrun must match wiring.  You can wire your CIN function block and say LabView to generate the C interface code to begin.

    Here's my pairs for the ASIO audio project.
