NEITHER USB-6210 - the analog ground-sharing?

Dear gentlemen/ladies,

I use NI USB-6210 Council and I have four different devices that I need to join in. The problem is that I have to measure all these four analog signals in LabView with the referenced Single-End Mode, which means that I have four different pins to connect in the same slot of analog ground.

So, I would appreciate ideas on how to do it. Is it possible to create more analog grounds by software, for example? Or is there an electric simple component that I can use easily share location on the ground for several pins without causing interference to signals?

I thank very you much for your response, already in advance.

(My apologies if this forum was not one to correct for this post).

Hi Stephanie,.

You can't create more analog designs. On other devices, there are several Earth pins, but they are connected all in-house.

You simply link them all to pin GND AI because it is what it is.

I hope this helps.

Best regards

    Hello

    I have a question.

    I use an old .vi made in BT 4.0.1 with DAQcard-700 + old laptop (256 MB RAM) and windows 98.

    My intention is to change the map DAQcard-700 with NI - USB-6210. on the same platform. What version of driver DAQ should I install?

    I have already installed to. DAQ 6.9.3, but drivers are not automatically install for USB DAQ 6210. Nor in the list of supported cards, there is no supported USB card. Although windows 98 shouts for drivers.

    Thanks in advance.

    This certainly doesn't work. The 6210 requires DAQmx and the first version of LabVIEW who supported DAQmx was version 7.

  • I need help to change a VI of the NI PXI-1042 q to USB-6210

    Hi all.  This is my first post, and I apologize in advance if it is in the wrong place or is not suitable... I was instructed to come here to help.

    I'm working on the evolution of a VI that works perfectly with an NI PXI-1042 q on a much smaller unit, the USB-6210.  Supposedly the USB-6210 can handle input/output same I need (a read analog at 30 kHz, 2 outputs digital input, written at 10 kHz), however I am having a little trouble to make it work properly.  The exits seem to go where they are supposed to, but the new system is orders of magnitude slower than the original, and for the system, I use this is unacceptable.

    I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I'm about as new to the LabView you can get, so I have no idea where to start.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Can the USB-6210 output signal square 10 kHz?

    I scoured the internet/forums to find out the maximum data rate for a USB-6210, but nothing helped.  I know that the device can handle 250 kech. / s, but this does not appear to be linked to output speed.

    By experimentation, I estimated the maximum rate 2500 kbps, but I fear that this figure may be inaccurate because I don't really know what I'm doing.

    I would like to know:
    (a) is the USB-6210 is able to produce a square wave of 10 kHz?

    (b) if not, is there a USB DAQ, which is?

    Let's see here.  No analog outputs.  Only software timed DIO, so it does not work.  But there are 2 meters which should be able to output a square wave at the speed you need.  I have not done it myself, but if you use the finder to the example and looking for something like 'pulse train' or 'exit meter', you should find some good examples of how to do it.

  • Reconciliation of analog output NI USB-6210

    Using Labview, I am currently using an NI USB-6210 to produce a signal that a BOP of Kepco 50-2 M feeding programs. Unfortunately, this device NOR produced no analog voltage. Is it possible that I can use the digital output or against the unit OR to do something that approximates an analog output? I need a way to get the power output voltage has the supply to increase gradually in a predefined way. I only work with a couple of volts because of sensitive equipment, so accuracy is important.

    I don't have access to the program at the moment so I don't know what version of Labview that I use, but I'll be able to check in a few hours.

    Its probably not worth to use this device in a method not scheduled.  Cheeper with analog outputs are available.

  • The streaming of multiple channels directly to CSV USB-6210?

    I would like to stream up to 16 channels of data to a CSV file. My sample rate can vary from a file in a file, but I can reach 1 kHz. I understand the disadvantage of using text rather than PDM or binary files, but I have to be able to read these files later with programs such as Excel (Excel 2007 can make 1 million points).

    I have no trouble writing to TDMS files as seems very straighforward. I wonder though, it would be more efficient to use the TDMS files as the data are acquired and then after I stop, read the PDM and convert to CSV or just directly save to CSV? I only say this because I don't know if Labview can broadcast on a text or CSV file at 1 kHz.

    The scenario. The user will begin acquisition (using the USB-6210) to start playback 16 channels, applying multipliers for some data, and then send to a drive. Don't worry about the file size, the operator will be told that if it samples fast it must limit its total sample time. He has the ability to run slower to achieve longer sampling frequencies.
    Bottom line is I want good data for all 16 channels timestamped. No header information, nothing other than data raw beginning to end.

    I've seen several posts where the notice has been using TDMS files. Yet once again, I am not opposed to that, but I need to end up with text files.

    LabVIEW can handle this, if you do it right.

    1. If you are not already, use the design data of producer/consumer model.  It should be a template provided with LabVIEW.  This will allow you to take continuous data because your data treatment/backup of the routines take place in a separate thread.  If the hard data recording longer than reading the data, LabVIEW will keep only the size of the queue more and more with new data and I hope that you will not run out of memory system.

    2 write. you data in "chunks".  If you expect to write each data point to the disk as soon as it is available so that will probably be very tax on performance due to the excessive amount of 'read/write' header to your disk controller information and other things.  It is better to save 1000 samples at once, for example.  This way you are 'hit"your disc 10 times per second instead of 1000 times per second.

    3 ASCII files are very large, but I too tend to use them due to their convienance.  If you think about it, a 32-bit value can be "12332.0123" which in the ascii code is rather 80-bit (1 byte per character, 8 bits per byte, 10 characters is 80 bits or more than twice the amount if stored as a number 32-bit floating point).  It is therefore logical that if you have problems with performance (even after the application of 1 and 2) you write to a binary file.  Then, you can easily write a program that reads the binary file and writes a text file.

    4. If your computer has enough memory, you could put everything in memory and save it in a file at the end of the data collection.  You will need to add more controls and other things if you were writing this LabVIEW application for someone else.

  • What is the resolution for USB-6210 for positive ranges of entry?

    Hello

    I use USB-6210 to sample different types of sensors and each has its own range of values. I have two questions:

    (a) what are the fixed beaches of USB-6210 where most suitable is chosen automatically depending on the settings of user intput scope? They are to +/-0.2, +/-1, +/-5 and + /-10?

    (b) I know that if I select + / 10 as the range and then I will get the resoultion of 20 /(2^16), but what happens if I want to the positive range only? So if my sensor gives values between [0.10] and data acquisition would choose the + / 10 range. Then could get a resolution higher than 20 /(2^16) and how?

    Thank you.

    (a) Yes, they are the ranges listed in the manual

    (b) No, a fixed range means a fixed range. You cannot change them.

  • Amnesty International and counter sync + USB signal stream (USB-6210 vs USB-6341)

    Hi all

    I'm at a stage of identification of a material suitable for the following tasks:

    • 5 analog inputs (AIs) of reading at the same time, tensions at a rate of kSps (at least) 10,
    • application captures 2 inputs using timers (detection of contours with timestamps), square wave entry with duty ratio of 50 percent and about 1.5 kHz frequency and variable pulse width / frequency (from 2 sensors hall, representative of the DC motor rotation speed and direction, quadrature signals), resolution of timestamps should be (at least) 50 ns,
    • AIs and counters should behave in a deterministic way, and must be synchronized in a way,
    • data to be transferred via the USB port of a host computer with Matlab Data Acquisition Toolbox (unfortunately not LabVIEW).

    I've identified the long USB-6210 USB-6341 and potential candidates of material to accomplish the above tasks, but after reviewing several documentation and the topics of the forum, I'm still a bit confused, if both are fully working and my approach described below is not working properly.

    Counters: I intend to use the internal time base available 20 MHz as being the source of meter to get into account the resolution of timestamp 50 ns. External impulses hall are used as sample clock (about 1.5 kHz, see above). As the pulse width varies, the sample clock is not constant.

    AIs: Using a 10 kHz internal clock signal derived from the time base of 20 MHz for timing and analog inputs (trigger) start-up and counters simultaneously material should translate into the required synchronization and deterministic behavior.

    It work? Other recommendations?

    Next is the USB data transfer: all HAVE 5 and 2 data entry of the meter must be correctly transferred to the host computer (the corresponding rates are shown above). USB-6210 is capable of 4 USB signal flow, device USB X range (6341) offers 8 of them. Unfortunately, I could not understand the exact meaning of the expression "signal flow" still. Do I need 1 flow of input signals (would be 7 for my application described) or 1 stream for all analog inputs and 1 for counter inputs (lead 2 streams for my request). Is there no further details on this approach (more than Streaming of signals of NOR) USB signal flow?

    Any challenge to the described application that I might have forgotten? 6210 USB seems to a very limited number of entry PFI, maybe even too low for my meter participate application?

    Looking forward to your comments and advice.

    Concerning

    jAwA

    1. I recommend the X-6341 series on the M-series 6210 sake of counters/timers.  It is more of them, and each of them is more capable.   It can also have a great FIFO embarked for meters that may be important in certain tasks, although I don't think that you currently deal with one of them.

    2. your general concepts on timing & sync are satisfactory.  You will be able to share and to route signals that help ensure synchronization and determinism between the timestamps for your various tasks.  Note that for meter entry tasks, you need set up the trigger 'Arm Start' rather than the regular start trigger.

    3 is not authoritarian, but I believe that the flow of signal # will correspond to the tasks #.  For you, it would be 1 task of HAVE and tasks CI 1 or 2.  (Not clear if you have 1 Encoder with 2-channel quad that would require 1 task of CI, or if you have 2 encoders with 4-way quad).

    4. pay attention to the hall effect signals that are not virgins.  Digital filtering is available and probably better on the X-series, the series M.

    5. strictly speaking, edge detection is a type of digital input task that produces samples but no timestamps.  Ideally, I would like to parallel wires on the two digital inputs for the entries of detection and counter change to position quadrature decoding.   Then I would sample the counters Encoder 1 or 2 using the internal pulse 'event of detection of change '.  I would create another counter timestamp change detects pulses as well.

  • USB-6210

    Hello!

    We just bought a USB-6210 hardware DAQ, which we could successfully install and it appears as well in the device OR monitor.

    So, we come the 6210 connected via USB to our Win7 Pro 64 bit machine and wanted to see if his works.

    We opened NI Max (ver. 14.5), our device is recognized and we have opened a "Panel Test". We don't see anything, but the noise that we didn t connect anyhing to any unit. But we see a lot of crazy things. Our analog inputs are beginning to increase and saturate all about 11V. Some other entries are reduced to 11V slowly to 0...

    However, we connected a photoreceptor (thorlabs) to acquire certain signals... nothing is showing just all the same strange signals.

    We went on our device USB-6000 and everything works. We don't get anything with USB-6210.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    The readings that you see with nothing plugged are expected. When you do not connect a signal, what is your configuration (diff, CSR, etc.) and what is your wiring? Looks like you selected a configuration but your wiring does not match then you still have a nice.

    Hey Tom,

    Thanks for the update, I should have tested my suggestion before posting but I had no useful material at a time.  It turns out that, DAQmx Base supports not the outputs of the internal sample clock routing counter HAVE.

    Workaround will be physically wiring the meter output terminal (default is 4 PFI for counter 0, PFI 5 to 1 meter) until one of the PFI input lines (PFI 0:3) and use the PFI input as SOURCE for your sample clock (for example "/ Dev1/PFI0").

    Best regards
