How to choose destinations for counter/timer signals in NOR-DAQmx?

In the document M Series DAQ
M series user manual
622 x, NI 625 x and the materials NOR x 628
M series user manual
July 2008
371022K - 01

appears on page 7-30:

Counter/Timer default pinout
By default, NEITHER-DAQmx routes counters/timers and outputs inputs to the PFI pin, shown in table 7-4.
Table 7-4. 68 peripheral pins by default Counter/Timer pines NOR-DAQmx
Counters/timers fail-safety connector 0 PIN (name)
0 2 CTR (PFI 12)

You can use these default settings or select other sources and destinations for the
counters/timers of NOR-DAQmx signals. Refer to the connection counter signals
in the NOR-DAQmx help or the help of LabVIEW in version 8.0 or later for
more information on how to connect your signals for common counter
measures and generations.

I couldn't find any hint to the appropriate command of DAQmx in the "NOR-DAQmx C reference Help" to select other destinations for counter/timer signals in NOR-DAQmx.
Please can you tell me the DAQmx command right? Thank you very much.
I use the NI USB-6259 M material Series DAQ, BNC end unit.

datafriend,

If I remember correctly, you can "free" the output terminal of default counter by calling DAQmxSetCOPulseTerm and passing an empty string in the 'data '.

Hope that helps,

Dan

Edit: You can also set this to any other valid terminal (IE... "Dev1/PFI0") and to send the output to.

  • Maximum latency to read/write for PCI-DIO-32HS with NOR-DAQmx?

    I was asked to evaluate using the PCI-DIO-32HS and NOR-DAQmx on MacOS X to essentially close a control loop.  My first concern is whether or not it can run fast enough.

    So my questions are: what is the maximum latency from the moment of receiving a signal strobe reading data from external hardware, then read a single 16-bit sample and sending it upward by NOR-DAQ to a user space application?  And, similarly, what is the maximum latency of sending a unique 16-bit value from a space application user down through NOR-DAQ, then write a port and affirming a strobe signal of external-data writing material?

    Thank you.

    Hi AliasMe,

    Thanks for posting and welcome to the Forums EITHER!

    Do you need to process the data in the software and generate a value on this basis?  DIO-32HS (alias PCI-6533) offers in the buffer of inputs and outputs, but you'd have a latency in your control system relying on the OS to do treatment.  Since this period is dependent on the system, I can't give a specification for the amount of time it would take.  However, integrating data in memory, processing and writing back to the card would likely be on the order of several milliseconds.

    Generally, we recommend FPGA in situations of control like this, so you can do all the processing in hardware.  However, if provide you more details on your request we can look into all the options available.

  • How to choose right for the WAN Interface MTU size?

    Hello

    I would like to know How to determine the right size MTU to set in the properties of the WAN interface (in my case, NSA appliances).

    First of all. I noticed that with SonicOS Enhanced 5.9.x, there is a Tool of diagnosis called PMTU discovery:

    This tool is not available with SonicOS Enhanced 5.8.x.

    I guess using this built-in tool is a way to determine the right MTU size to apply.

    Second, for SonicOS versions that do not have this tool and to understand just how to manually determine the size MTU, I would like to know what is the method to follow.

    On the Internet, I found this method by using the ping-f-l command. Once you have determined the largest possible packet size, it ask you to Add 28 to that number and you get the MTU size to define the interface.

    Case study:

    In my business, there are 2 sites: 1 in China and 1 in South Korea. Both have a firewall SonicWALL NSA.

    To determine the MTU size that is applicable from the Chinese site, I get the same results with the 2 methods mentioned above.

    With the help of the PMTU discovery:

    I get 2 IPs: 8.8.8.8 and the Korean FW IP WAN. I get the same result: 1500.

    However, I noticed that the MTU size should be set to its maximum (1500) of size on the properties of the interface WAN for this test to work properly. Indeed, when I put in 1404 to test, PMTU discovery find 1404 such as MTU size:

    With the help of ping - f - l:

    When you use the ping with FW Korea WAN IP method, I found 1472 as the maximum packet size:

    According to the method I've read on the Internet, adding 28 will make me a MTU of 1500, same size as the PMTU discovery method.

    My question is: can you confirm that these 2 methods are correct determine the MTU size to set the WAN interface? Especially the one with the ping command? If not, how do?

    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    I can tell you that as technicians, we use the way to CMD line to adjust the MTU on WAN interfaces. We saw this as a number to work with.

    Thank you

  • How to set an interval of time of acquisition with DAQmx

    I use a 6123 DAQ to acquire and store a voltage signal. I'm trying to figure out how I can reduce the time interval of the data acquired, rather than save 2 ms of data I want to only save the first data 100us. Is this possible?

    Kind regards

    Lowksi

    How you configure your task?  I can assume that you are using samples for your type of acquisition.  So what you do is the VI of Timing DAQmx place your sample rate and the number of samples to be taken.  The number of samples you want will be the sampe (samples per second) rate multiplied by the interval desired (seconds).

    So let's say that you buy at 500kHz and you want data 100us.  You must set the number of samples to read 500e3 * 100e-6 = 50 samples

  • How to change default destination for the files to be imported?

    How can I tell LR to import to a new destination disk? I found a similar issue for LR 3 a couple of years, that says in the import dialog box choose the destination. This doesn't seem to be there now. In any case, I want LR to import into the new destination all the time, not only as a one-off. My HD is full and I can't keep moving the files manually. Thanks for any help!

    You can change the import (copy, move, add...) path at the top of the import dialog box.  When "Add", the destination panle is hidden, because it means that you come to 'Add' descriptions of the photos to the catalog and do not touch the pictures.

    I feel I'm missing something really obvious, but I can't for the life of understand me this. I'm formatting a long document and need post a link to a unique URL several times, many different phrases of text within the document. I created a destination of the hyperlink, gave her a name and a URL and now you want to apply. How to apply? I highlighted the text I want to be a link, but now what? If I click (or double click) on the name of destination in the hyperlinks Panel, nothing happens, except that I can change the properties of the destination.

    The only way I could find a way to make hyperlinks in text is to highlight, click on "new hyperlink" and put the URL manually everytime. Is there not a shortcut or a way to connect to the named destination? Which is not to the point of creating the named destination? What Miss me?

    You want to make the URL a "shared destination.

    For the first use of the URL of a hyperlink, check the "shared hyperlink target.

    On subsequent uses of the URL, choose Destination shared in the new Hyperlink dialog box menu:

  • How cascading 2 counters for 64-bit timer?

    I work with the PCI-6225 card which has several counters.  I configured CTR0 to 20 MHz.  I get the CTR0 time by calling the OR-DAQmx C function 'DAQmxReadCounterScalarU32' to get the number of frequencies and then by dividing the number of frequency of 20 MHz for a time value.   The maximum time value that may be getting is that of 214.7483648 seconds (2 ^ 32 / 20e6).    I want to stunt/link two counters (CTR0 and CTR1) to get the frequency of 64-bit values.    To be clear, CTR0 configured as CTR1 configured as 32 byte MSB and LSB 32 bits so that whenever CTR0 reached maximum values and "roll" then CTR1 would be incremented by 1.   How can I do this using the C-NOR-DAQmx features?

    Thank you

    Ian

    Hw do will be more reliable, but here are two possible ways to approach it in sw.

    1. There is a DAQmx property with a name similar to "Terminal number reached" that I have used in LabVIEW but do not know the underlying C syntax.  When you query this software, it will return a true once, is reset to false.   I'm sure that he will return a true even once on the * following * the event rollover, but you would be better double-check me on that.  Not knowing your entire application, I guess you will probably need to be prepared to manage several inversions.

    2. in certain applications, rather than establishing a measure which follows the cumulative time, you can configure the hw to measure periods and then take a NAP in sw to get your 'timestamp '.   Unless an individual interval could exceed 200 + seconds, you can just do your accumulation of software with a 64-bit data type.

    Technically, you can even do both.  Do a measure 32-bit intervals hw, do a query of software for the event of tc, accumulate intervals & counties of reversal in a 64-bit int.

  • How to convert a text file to a time signal

    I am confused on how to do it. I can get the text file to read properly in a table (orange wire), but how do I become a time signal (thick brown wire)? I have all the data points and I know that the sampling frequency is of 2 samples per second. Any help at all would be great.

    Do you mean a waveform? If so, try a wave 'build' with 2 seconds as dt and an appropriate time for t0.

    Or maybe a timestamp? If so, you might try "time stamp".

    From your description, I'm guessing you're after the option of waveform?

    Compress, (Compact in American English), removes waste of space, not your messages. Please read below, but if compact you and still get the prompt, after return. It is another question.

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact

    Compacting your folders periodically is a must to keep OE works fine and at some point, you may lose all your saved messages if you do not. When you delete or move messages, the space they used remains until you compact.

    Never touch anything until the compression is finished.* *.

    See:
    www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    With SP2, Automatic compaction in the background has been removed because of problems he has caused. Now, you will get a prompt to compact after 100 closures of OE, you need to do, and do not touch anything until it's finished. If you compact manually, at your convenience, this will also set the counter to zero. See this for more information:
    http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

    If you are fully patched, you will now see a copy of your dbx files copied to the Recycle Bin as BAK files. If something goes wrong when compacting, the messages can be easily restored from this backup. A compact manual resets also the counter in the back of the registry to zero now.

    For more information, see the information framed in red here:
    www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    To keep things running smooth and harden faster:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. It will eventually become corrupt and you may lose mail. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    And backup often.
