How .vi DAQmx Read (analog 2D NChan DBL NSamp) to acquire continuous data?

I try to get the .vi DAQmx Read (analog 2D NChan DBL NSamp) to acquire data continuously.  The 'help' indicates I need to wire the number of samples per channel-1, but it doesn't seem to work for my application.  If I have the wiring to any number greater than 0, the data collection works, but is not continuous.  I enclose the code (Sept15_MainPanel_WorkingBaselines_ApplyBaselines and Calibration.vi) and a Subvi (Collect_Baselines.vi) if someone wants to take a look.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

I use a unit NI USB-6009 to collect analog voltages of load cells 2 (channel 0 and channel 1) and 2 displacement transducers (channel 2 and 3).  The main panel of the VI contains a listbox with 4 options - 'Check EMG channel', "Collect base lines," "Collect Data" and "end of program".  'Collect base lines' 'End of program' work and I'm working on writing code to "Collect data".

For the option "Basic collection", 2500 samples are read from 4 channels described above and 2500 samples are averaged.  This works.

The option "Data collection" - I would like to that data from 4 channels to acquire permanently.  Finally, for the option of data collection, data acquisition stops when channel 0 detects the force of 200 N - so I will not always have a finite number of samples read.  The time it takes to reach the value of this force will be different for each test.

-How can I get continuous samples for my 4 channel?  Is .vi DAQmx Read (analog 2D NChan DBL NSamp) function badly and if yes, what should I use?

Thanks in advance for any ideas or advice.

First, in case 1, you need not the structure of flat sequence.  The son of the error and data properly will dictate the flow of execution.  Then, in State 2, you must initialize the shift register, unless you want to keep the data is accumulated each time that you run the vi.  The reason why you don't see all the data here is because you have - 1 wired for the number of samples per input channel.  You must connect a number here, even if you are taking continuous samples.  The service needs to know how much sample to gather at one time.  If you put-1 here, the number of samples per channel must be set up in the synchronization function DAQmx (sample clock).  If you specify a number here, then you put-1 in playback function.  The DAQ hardware will read continuously, you must retrieve the data from time to time, so you must specify the number of samples.  By reading inside a loop, it will continue to read until the stop function is encountered.  I guess that the Clear function acts as a stop.  But you must always indicate playback vi how many samples to read and return on each iteration of the loop.

The documentation is a little misleading.  He warns that a - 1 will cause a continuous reading.  But the pads are so big, he can not read continuously forever without losing data.  If you specify a finite number, playback in a loop, and he will read this number and return the data (empty the internal buffer) at each iteration of the loop.  Continuous means that you just call the start function once.  He will read at each iteration of the loop until the stop function (or clear) is called.

Here is the difference between the setting of the Timing DAQmx function for continuous or finished reading: finite samples requires a tenure, he reads the finite number of samples, and it's done.  It requires another start to read more data.  Continues to read requires only a start.  It still reads a finite number of samples, but when this is done, you can retrieve the data by calling the read function until he could continue.  After the reading, you don't have to call for new start.  Look at it this way.  Start is what starts the collection of data, not the read function.  Just read empty buffers in your data feed.  The data acquisition continues in continuous mode, but you must call read again to get the data on the pads.  If you specify basically buffer size when you set the number of samples per channel.

  • Why DAQmx read 200714 error when you save the file?

    In particular vi that I created, I have 3 analog inputs coming in and are graphically represented.  If I choose to save the information to a file, a dialog box appears and I can choose what to save it under.  If I take too long to save the file (aka about 8-10 seconds if the sample read rate is 500/s) then I get this error once the file has been saved:

    Error-200714 occurred at .vi DAQmx Read (analog 1-d NChan DBL 1Samp)
    Possible reasons:
    Acquisition stopped because the driver could not transfer the data from the device to the computer's memory rather quickly. This was due to limitations of the computer system.
    Reduce your sample clock rate, the number of channels in the task, or the number of programs on your computer that is running simultaneously.

    Why the DAQmx bed vi I have this problem when the vi has been idle for 10 seconds then I choose where to save the file?  How can I fix this error?

    Hi child of pre-school age,

    I think your error might be caused by the read buffer overflow. my suggestions for you would be to either the following four ideas:

    1. stop the acquisition before writing the file. This should mean that the DAQmx Read function will no longer be reading and therefore does not generate an error.

    2. If you still want to read the data but also write data as well, I think you'd be best suited for use live TDMS. TDMS allows the user to stream to a reading of filewhilst.

    3. the configuration backup dialog box file before starting the acquisition. Download the user to enter all data in the file before you start to acquire.

    4. change the buffer to unlimited so that you have enough time to navigate the record window.

    If you send your VI I can advise others

    Let me know how you go,

  • DAQmx read 1 d or 2d

  • I can't stop finite samples daqmx read between the two?

    Hi all

    I want to read data from 10 seconds to a trigger is received. for this im using daqmx task finished sample mode and read the data on the trigger getting. It works fine but I can't stop my vi between the two when its reading of the data. I have to wait for it to complete the reading of values, and then stop the vi.

    so I switched to continuous sampling mode that allowed me to stop the vi whenever I want.

    I just want to know is there any means or the property using which I can stop my task over daqmx read when I want?

    I guess you call DAQmx Read with extraordinary value (-1) for samples of #.  It is also the default if left thread continues.  In a finished sample task, it means to wait until the memory full buffer has been filled with samples before returning.  Once you make that call, you cannot directly finish soon.  You're stuck waiting for buffer fill or for the timeout expires (default 10 seconds).

    One way to avoid getting stuck is not to ask for samples that do not exist already.  You can query a DAQmx Read property, known as the "Samples available" or something like that and son of this result in a call to DAQmx Read.  Such a call will return immediately whatever data are currently available.  Subsequent calls will give you samples.

    no idea how to get both types of DAQmx Read.vi?

    Thank you

    If you get the data from one channel at a time, then you will probably get table 1 d of waveform. If you want to acquire data from multiple channels at the same time then you should get 2D table contains all the information channels.

    If I'm right, you can't get both types of data (1 d and 2D) DAQmx playback function. I did not hear that. That's all what I can expect.

    Very appreciate

    The limitations of the analog output of your device is documented in the manual and has been considered on several occasions. Because it supports at the time of the application, you can only pass a single value to a moment, not a waveform. The timing is only the software and you can not generate a signal without a lot of jitter and the max frequency will be by the spec.

  • What is READ the array returned by the DAQmx meter? How can I know the two functions DAQmx READ data stream in the same WHILE loop?

    I have a question about the order of execution.  In the WHILE loop, I have two things to measure, period and tension using the DAQmx READ functions for voltage and the meter.  In the end, I want to collect these data as points almost simultaneously as possible, as a pair and then send them together to another piece of code (not shown here) which them will result in some sort of command for an engine.  It would be run, and then I want to perceive the tension and the period at a time later and do the same thing.

    (1.) I'm a little confused on what the meter of the READ function is back because it's a table.  What is a picture of?  I thought that it was up to the value of the individual periods between rising edges.  The output of the counter 1 DBL d's a table. How many elements in this table, and what determines the size of this table?  Are the elements of the array the individual delays between the edges?  How many values are stored in the array by executing?   We take the AVERAGE of the last 15 items, but do not know if we are throwing some of the data or what.  How to understand the composition of this painting?  How can I change the composition of this painting?  Is it possible to measure only one period at a time, for example the time between TWO edges?

    2.) Will this WHILE loop execute as it gathers tension and a "period table ' (remains to be understood by me) by TIME running in a loop?  In particular, we want that the value of the tension associated with the value of the AVERAGE of the period "array", so we can use two data items to create orders of next control every time that the two values are reported.  The structure for the delivery of vi will be attached data in pairs like this?  I understand that one of the READING functions run not before the other function of READING in the WHILE loop.  I want that the period "means" and "strain (Volt) collected at the same pace. This vi will he?

    Hi David,

    I suggest including the DAQmx Start Task function. If it does not start before the loop, it starts the loop and work very well, but it is not as fast and efficient. In the model of task status, task wiill go to run the checked each iteration of the loop and then back the time checked running when it restarts.

    The status of the task model: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370466V-01/mxcncpts/taskstatemodel/

  • Medium-sized dynamic data analog input read DAQmx read

    Hi, I'm new to labview. Is there an easy way to index using the dynamics of data returned by a readout DAQmx x samples to calculate a moving average? My thought was to read the analog input for X samples pump with the data in another loop through the data, but I can't quite understand how index using the returned data set to extract the measurement value double returned for each sample.

    Any ideas on that?

    Thank you...

    If you get a type of waveform data, why did you ask on dynamic data? No, of course not would you use the conversion of dynamic data on a waveform.

    If you want only one channel, then your DAQmx Read could be changed to 1Chan NSamp. If your channel list only has one channel, you will get a table 1 d with a single element that can be indexed. To get the average of a waveform use the statistical function with the waveform. You use the average Point by Point, and not the average function that has a table for an entry.

    Make sure you always have context-sensitive help on. You can avoid many of these rookie mistakes simple.

  • analog parallel DAQmx reads at different rates of acquisition

    I'm running two 9172 chassis with a total of 11 modules. I have two 9217 modules for reading RTDs and a 9205 for sensors of reading level. I've set up three spots, one for each module.
    If I do a task sheet and place DAQmx Read in a loop, I can read all the data without problem, but the three tasks take 4.59 seconds per iteration (reading the RTD is seems to be slower). I need to update the level readings more Rapids, but if I do two parallel loops, try to read the RTD in a loop (two tasks) and the level in its own loop sensors I get an error that the resource is not available - apparently only one instance of DAQmx Read can be called both.
    Is there a work around for this?

    thanx
    lmd2

    Larry,

    Your problems are all related to the task that is described in the manual DAQmx State model.  Each 9172 chassis can have 1 HAVE task that runs at a given time.  If you try to start a second task, you will get an error.  When you use the loop FOR your code is starting and collapses of each task in order that takes a lot of time and explains the 4.59 seconds.  Ideal for config and start tasks in an init State and then begins to acquire data.  The only thing left to do is to release the input/output by stopping and disabling tasks when you did.

    One way to solve this problem would be to install two RTD modules in a single chassis and all 9205 modules in other chassis.  Another way would be to oversample of RTD and process the additional data later.

  • DAQmx read - the values on the scale or not? Binary conversion.

    Hey everybody,

    I had a question regarding making the scale and the release of Renault. I use LabVIEW 2009 SP1, with a pilot DAQmx 9.0.2 and a X-Series card. I'm reading the data my DAQ and store it in a binary file.

    How is the acquisition of data read samples, in General? that is if I select NSamp NChan I16 2D Analog on my DAQmx Read, what kind of values can I expect if I was at the exit of the probe data? (Suppose I have readings in mV values and my overall fork's 04:55 V.) When he wrote in the binary file, what happens, what can I expect to see in terms of values - or maybe just descriptively?

    Overall, a little insight would be very helpful. I tried to troubleshoot asymmetric readings I received, so this will help me immensely.

    Thank you.

    Hi Matt87,

    Reading data as I16 will return the result adjusted, not calibrated for 16-bit ADC.

    If you want to write your own binaries, you'll want to include scaling of device - for series X, coefficients a 3rd order polynomial.

    Here are two examples that show how write to a binary file and read the data back.  In this example, scaling coefficients are stored in the file header:

    Continuous gain and voltage drop (binary) chart

    Graph of the acquired binary data

    That said, I would recommend that you look in the record feature integrated TDMS introduced in DAQmx 9.0.  The result is a file appropriate binary .tdms which is a standard format that can be opened in LabVIEW or in several other programs with the plugin.  See the following examples for how to use the function:

    Streaming data and log to the PDM file

    Continuously to log in a PDM file data

    The second example does not force you to read the data in the memory of LabVIEW and use the minimum CPU.  The first example allows you to see the data that is acquired.

    Best regards
