• Measurement of frequency with the NI 9402

  Has anyone successfully was able to measure the frequency in SignalExpress with the NI 9402 module? I have the 9402 connected to a tachometer (on a centrifuge) which puts a TTL signal. For now, I can get the light input line to work. (Right click on the project, acquire signals: DAQmx Acquire: digital input: input line.) When the tachometer completes the first round, light or the 'blip' lights indicating the sensor then goes back to the shore for the rest of the round. I would like to read the frequency of this "blip" instead. I can't understand the required parameters in Signal Express. I tried (right-click project, acquire signals: DAQmx Acquire: entry of meter: frequency) but maybe I do not have the correct settings. This centrifuge works usually between 0 and 3 hz. I have attached a picture of what I have. I am doing this correctly, with incorrect parameters? Or is there a better way to do this? I need to read Hertz over time. Thank you!

  Hi Choover,

  Even if you use the 0 meter to measure frequency, your singal acts at the door of the on-board clock source to measure the length (and thus frequency).  This is why you must use PF1 to connect to the door of the meter.  You can learn more about how DAQmx takes measurements of meter in any manual of cDAQ chassis: http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/2C061605E17C7D04862578D200677B90

• Measurement of high frequency with the NI 9411

  Hello

  I would like to measure the frequency of a TTL signal with the 9411 OR in a cDAQ-9178 chassis.  1.6 at 48 kHz frequency range.

  With examples of Labview digital frequency meter, it is not picking up on the signal.  Any advice?

  Anna

  Hello!

  After talking to an applications engineer of NOR, I realized that the input signal must be less than 5 v.  In particular, the bass is between 0 - 0.8V and the top is between 2 - 5V.

  Once I have limited input to this range, the module of frequency meter picks up on the signal very well.

  Thank you

• measurement of analog frequency with PCI or USB

  I want to measure the frequency of a square wave 0 - 5V from zero to about 4 kHz permanently.  I have to record the waveform, only get the frequency.  The material at my disposal include:

  (1) PCI-MIO-16

  (2) 6062E DAQCard

  (3) USB-6218

  If none of these devices can do this?  This seems to be a very common task, why can't I find the perfect example to do so.  I'm not having any luck with the DAQ assistant. Can someone tell me a simple example?

• With the help of the meter from 6525 to measure the frequency: is there a more orderly way?

  I am currently using the high speed on a module USB 6525 meter to measure the frequency of an object in rotation via a sensor hall-effect.

  I was wondering if there was a simpler way / more effective this encoding than that?

  Everything that I currently perform the current meter reading, wait a second, take another reading, and subtract one from the other. The result is the frequency in hertz.

  Is there a way to get the 6525 to return the number / change County after 1 second?

  Thank you

  

  On the 6525, you have a country of the event and you can't make a measure of frequency.

• Measure the frequency of the pulses PXI-6624

  Hello.  I work with a PXI-6624 and am interested to make measurements of pulsed frequency for frequency and duty cycle on its inputs using DAQmx.

  When I go to create the virtual channel, however, I have error-200431:

  "Physical channel selected does not support the type of measure required by the virtual channel you create."

  ' Asked the value: pulse frequency.

  «You can select: frequency, period, pulse width, period of Semi, separation of the two edges, Position:...» »

  Is this card really not capable of doing these measures of pulse frequency?

  Yes, the "Pulse" (not to be confused with "Pulse Width") measure was introduced with STC3 of OR including CompactDAQ and X series devices.

  Measuring the pulse:

  

  However, you should always be able to measure the frequency and the duty cycle on your card with a half measure:

  The half measure:

  

  The images are in the X Series user manual.

  The difference between these two modes boils down to how the data is stored and implemented in buffer on the map - with the period semi method that the material does not distinguish between high and low samples and puts everything in a single buffer.  However, if you start the meter on the song (see below the node property), then you would know the order of low and high samples in software, and are easy enough to calculate cycle frequency and the duty of this.

• How to measure the frequency of NOR-DAQmx RPM tasks

  Hello

  I'm trying to measure the frequency using the NI DAQmx task and then convert it to a RPM if possible.

  I have the following material available to me.

  I have a block SCXI-1327 terminal, as well as a 6289 PXI multifunction data acquisition Module SCXI 1126.

  I wired in a mag ai7 sensor on my 1126 and then of the passage of an object metal I get a range of 6-8, so I am able to read the mag sensor.

  What I'm trying to do is somehow convert this analog measurement a RPM using the NI DAQmx task only.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi, smooth,

  Yes, you would select linear, then put in the result of this calculation of the slope.

  The Manual recommends a minimum frequency of at least 15 Hz for setting low range. This card is not really designed to measure the frequency for a single pulse over a long period of time.

  The number of LAPS down (assuming one pulse per turn) that we recommend that you measure with the 1126 is so 900 RPM. If you need measure low revs, and you cannot increase the number of impulses per turn, you could consider either read the signal as an analog waveform, or if it's a digital pulse, using a counter to basic task. In this way, you can use any method you want to handle the situation where there is only a single pulse in a long time.

• measurement of frequency via scb - 68

  How can I measure the frequency of a signal using the meter of the scb-68?

  He would play a big role if my signal is a high freq or it doesn't matter?

  THX in advance

  Hi in the Middle East,

  the SCB-68 is just a block of connection with a few extra features, but it does not provide a function of meter.

  The meter (meter inputs or outputs) function is provided by the DAQ, which is connected to the SCB-68 box card. Please check the documentation for your DAQ hardware to locate the pins of the meter.

  Kind regards

• measurement of frequency for ELVIS

  I use Elvis and I want to measure the frequency of an analog input signal.
  I use this program I found in a manual form OR.

  I'm using LABVIEW 8.0.

  The problem is that the program is not read the frequency. No mather how often I try to read always indicates r = the same thing.

  I have attacheted the program below.

  Americanu22,

  A couple of things that you will want to consider:

  1. to ensure the frequency information is correct, you must be 2 sampling * [highest frequency in your Signal].

  2. you can consider an ongoing acquisition with a configuration like this (' this example can be found in Help "" example Finder under material input and output "analog measures DAQmx'):

  Good luck!

• Measurement of frequency triggered? NEITHER 6259

  I'm trying to work out how to implement a measure of frequency (of a pulse train) which will be triggered by another external pulse to a different channel.

  I have an encoder that is attached to a rotating shaft, that generates square pulses 5V on two different channels: the first string gives one pulse per revolution of the shaft (my planned trigger pulse), the second string gives a pulse all the 1/2500th of a revolution (IE all 0.144º)

  Seeing a pulse of "channel one" (the pulse of a time-by-rev), I want the system to begin to measure the frequency of the pulses on the 'two way '. This isn't the average frequency during the ENTIRE revolution I'm after: what I'm shooting looks more like an angle vs revolution frequency waveform graph, for a ride (IE with 2500 data points).

  It does not matter if the processing time means that the system of "lack" an impulse to start on the next revolution, because it can always wait for the next. The most important thing is that the beginning of the frequency measurement is triggered at the right time.

  So far, I have used L'Express VI/DAQ Assistant to implement a measure of the frequency of the pulse 0.144º: I'm wiring these impulses to PFI9/CTR0 of Council 6259. I used a continuous acquisition of 2500 measures. The expected frequency range is about 40 to 200 kHz (2500 pulses per rev at between 1000 and 4000 RPM.)

  That works very well, and I can establish a curve of angle vs. frequency of revolution, BUT... For now the beginning of the acquisition is completely arbitrary; That is, it starts when I type 'run '. I can't understand the best way to trigger the acquisition of the OTHER channel impulse.

  There is no external trigger options in the DAQ assistant page, so I wonder if this is still possible using an express VI - do I have to use lower level stuff?

  I am convinced that this should be easy!

  Thanks in advance

  Theo

  Rico, Brad,

  Thank you very much for your comments, I'm pleased to say that we have sorted in the end.

  The first question concerned the fact that the Board I was using (PXI-6133) is not able to make a measure of frequency of trigger in this way.

  It was a big problem because even if the LabView code was right it works always, leading me to doubt the code and become even more confused! However, using the same code on a Board 6259 worked like a charm.

  I used the DAQmx blocks to set up a channel to measure frequency and a trigger, set the shutter button using the property with an arm.start node as in your example.

  Thanks again for your help!

• input analog trigger on the door of the meter to measure the frequency of generation

  Hello

  I want to measure a frequency on the analog input, but it doesn't seem to work.

  I'm trying to work with DAQmx with the use of the ansi c standard.

  The first step, I've done was acquiring information on the analog input. With the use of a simulated device, it shows a sine wave on the entry.

  My next step is to generate a trigger for the meter signal, but this doesn't seem to work.

  I don't see how it is possible to connect the trigger on the entrance to the analog meter.

  For the creation of the analog input and relaxation, I use the following code:

  DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateTask("",&taskHandle));
  DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandle,"Dev1/ai0","",DAQmx_Val_Cfg_Default,-3.0,3.0,DAQmx_Val_Volts,NULL));
  DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming(taskHandle,"",10000.0,DAQmx_Val_Rising,DAQmx_Val_FiniteSamps,1000));

  DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCfgAnlgEdgeStartTrig (taskHandle, "Dev1/ai0 ', DAQmx_Val_RisingSlope, 0 '"));

  For the creation of the meter, I use the following code:

  DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateCIFreqChan (taskHandle1, "Dev1/ctr1", "", 1 January 2000, DAQmx_Val_Hz, DAQmx_Val_Rising, DAQmx_Val_LowFreq1Ctr, 1, 4, "");)

  I hope someone could give me a hint.

  I also tried the examples that come with DAQmx but well I know this are only examples to counter with the help of the digital inputs.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You must use the exit event of comparison at the entrance of the meter. Change this property after the configuration string function.

  DAQmxSetChanAttribute (taskHandle1, "", DAQmx_CI_Freq_Term, Dev1/AnalogComparisonEvent);

  Kind regards

• measure temperature pt100 with cRIO9211

  I can measure the temperature with a pt100 in cRIO9211? I wanted to measure of 0 ° c to 100 ° c...

  Can someone please show me how?

  Thank you very much

  Best regards

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your question on the forum of National Instruments.

  Unfortunately, you can't have a RTD (generally with a PT100 probe) measure on a module 9211.

  9211 module is dedicated to the use of thermocouples.

  I suggest that you use a 9217 or 9219 rather (more information here).

  I hope this answer will help you.
