LabVIEW data acquisition

I have a 1208FS Meilhaus DAQ, I want to use an agilent hedl encoder 5540, I want to find the distance of the encoders.

Can you suggest me how to make using digital signals?

Depending on your type of your encoder youre getting 200-1000 by Tower pulse

(http://de.nanotec.com/page_product_archive__schrittmotor_encoder_heds5540__de.html)

Count the pulses that you get and multiply by (impulses per turn) / 360 and you get the current position in degrees.

    There is a single channel data acquisition code which measures the angular velocity, angle and flexibility using a gyroscopic sensor breakout board and acquisition of LabView data attached to this, I need a help to creat two-channel data acquisition code?

    Hello

    Attached is a vi that you can use in order to read the measured angular position of an encoder.

    If you need more examples on the tasks that you can develop with NOR-DAQmx and LabVIEW, you just need to open LabVIEW and click Help > find examples > Input and Output material > DAQmx > entry counter.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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?

    You can use the instrument driver model and guidelines.

    I have a 2 loop vi is the acquisition of data of a data acquisition instrument loop and the second is a loop to run my statechart of.  I would like to respond to an error in device of acquisition data if it occurs in transition out of my current state in my diagram States-transitions and enable management of custom unique business mistakes.  My States-transitions diagram is synchronous and send it external trigger.vi funciton will not work with it.  How to achieve this?  In addition, there is some confusion about this literature in http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372103F-01/lvscconcepts/sc_c_callervi/ at the bottom of the page it saidNote sending triggers for synchronous charts is optional.

  • 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

    Pooya

    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.

    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.

  • 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!

  • BNC-2110, 6023E PCI card and Labview V9.0: is the sensitivity of data acquisition (change more little detectable voltage) 0.002V?

    BNC-2110, 6023E PCI card and Labview V9.0: sensitivity of data acquisition (change more little detectable voltage) is 0.002V

    Hi, I use the software/hardware above to read a voltage of a potentiostat world Precision Instruments No..

    I'm trying to record changes in voltage as low as 0.0003V but using the wizard DAQ, I seem to be limited to a sensitivity of 0.002V.  This is the limit of real sensitivity or have I missed something?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi DCAM77,

    Thanks for joining the forums!

    The PCI or 6023E has a 12-bit ADC.  In other words, it can make the difference between 4096 (2 ^ 12) different levels within the range of cards.  The card you have has a selectable range by ± 10 V, ± 5 V, ± 500 mV or ±50 mV software.

    This means that the minimum detectable variation will be 4 mV, 20 mV, 244 µV or 24, depending on the chosen range µV.

    You should be able to use the ± 500 mV or ±50 mV to get the least significant bit (LSB) value, you need, even if it means that your signal is located between these values.  If not, then you need to consider other materials to the application, or the addition of external circuits across the signal.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Data acquisition reading incorrect when you use a loop

    Hello

    I wrote a simple VI (00, 01, 10, and 11) output to a circuit connected with 4 resistors. Based on what value the ciruit receives, it passes current through a particular resistance. It is again entered in Labview and traced.

    The problem is when I send a particular value (i.e the 00, 01 and 10 and 11) and get that back, it's okay. But when I send and receive the consectively connected via the loop counter, they are incorrect (not synchronized with the number of the loop).

    I made sure that circuit works very well. It has something to do with the loop synnchronization, reset, value compensation, etc. can be.

    Please Guide...

    Change your DAQ assistant that reads to be 1 sample on request.

    Right now it is set for continuous samples.  And 10 samples at 10 Hz.  Then it runs and starts.  The next iteration, you send a new digital out, but the wait for 4 seconds.  When you read again, you get the next 10 samples that are put into the buffer of data acquisition, but now 40 samples have actually entered the DAQ buffer.  In time your DAQ buffer will be finally complete and raise an error.  In the meantime, you will continually read data continues to become more tainted by the iteration.

  • motion control for vertical actuator and data acquisition

    Hello

    I am a researcher (a branch of civil engineering) geotechnical engineering and I have very little knowledge about the acquisition of control and data motion, so would need a lot of help from the experts OR. I have only knowledge base on these 2 aspects based on my reading of some materials on the Web site of NOR and youtube videos, so I hope that you bare with me . Here are my questions:

    I am trying to build an actuator which will be used to push a probe (a penetrometer with a load cell to measure the resistance of a soil sample), resembling the concept, photography in the attached file. I need to have these criteria for my system:

    (1) actuator, which can push the probe at speeds between 0.01 mm/s - 300 mm/s with precision and move the probe cyclically (upwards and downwards) in the vertical direction
    (2) load expected on the probe into the ground range: 0.02kN - 6 kN.
    (3) necessary to get the load cell load data and the speed of the probe.

    4) able to control the actuator to a PC (speed and posotion) and monitor data from transducers and data log time even the transducers.

    Guess my beginners is that I will need:

    For orders:
    (1) software - LabVIEW and NOR-motion assistant

    (2) controller - NI PCI-7342

    (3) driver/amplifier - analogue servo AKD Drive

    (4) motor - motor brushless servo AKM

    For the acquisition:
    (1) software - based LabVIEW development systems

    (2) amplifiers or other device - no idea what type on the conditioning of signals

    (3) data acquisition device - no idea what type

    Since I'm a beginner, is - that someone might recommend components (hardware and software) for the control and data acquisition. I'm on a tight budget, so I thankful if someone could help me to recommend components good enough to build my system.

    Thanks for your help.

    At these rates, you will need to run the sensor for the cDAQ.  You can configure the analog output on the Tritex nationally on the position.  There is an adjustable filter that you can set in order to get a clean enough to 300 Hz signal.  When you learn about the Tritex, make sure that let you them know what comms and e/s that you want to use.  If I remember, not all options have worked together.  The analog output may need to be my, but you can put a resistance through the acquisition of input data to get the voltage instead.  I don't remember all the details.  You should really not too much on the Tritex/LabVIEW side.  You will send your movement parameters (beginning of end of race, speed, position, accel, cut), and if you cycle (I believe you) or simply running in a loop.  You could also just be able to use the functions of jog.  When you get close to knowing exaclty what you need, PM me and I'm sure we can work something out with the drivers.  You need only the basics.  In fact, you could probably do this all your movements via digital and analog i/o.
