• USB-6211 noise problem

  Hello
  I use an NI USB-6211 device, Windows XP, and I have the problem of blood (photo attached).

  My analog differential signal (signal DC to DC power supply) is connected to an analog input in box usb-6211 (AI1 and AI9 ports).

  The signal I get is evolving between 0V the Volt of entry (in the attached photo - 4V) instead of 4 v DC.

  It might be a good idea to test it with a 9V battery using a differential connection with wiring configuration described in the manual (photo and link below). I know it sounds Basic, but re-seats black connector of i/o to the device might help. Make sure you reference GND AI as well.

• Noise USB 6211 problem

  Hi, I use USB 6211 to measure pressures, but I got too much noise. Please see the attached figure. In order to test if it is the problem of the data acquisition card. I tried to record a 5 V DC from a power supply, and I had V - 2 noise without last coherent. Power supply has been confirmed without problem. I used the DIFF mode. Could someone help this out please? Thank you.

  
  

• OR corrupted USB-6211 is diff.

  Hello! I have a NI USB-6211 I want to use to measure a signal in differential mode. However there are problems to get the correct results. In the figure below, I have measured on a single 1.5 V AAA battery, with the device for the measurement of differential (and finished AI0 & AI8). As you can see, the signal is quite noisy, and also for each 20 ms signal drops to 0 V for a few milliseconds. The same behavior occurs for all channels!

  

  If you are using CSR (connected to AI0 & AI GND or AI8 & AI GND), data acquisition shows as expected without noise, as shown below.

  

  How am I wrong, or have data acquisition failed?

  Hello Andres,

  If you check out the nickname compared to differential input Configurations, you can see that for floating signal sources, we actually recommend using Pseudo connections when you have a floating signal source, such as a battery. This means that you must connect a small resistance between I (-) (AI8, in your case) and GND. I try and see if it works.

• OR USB-6211 is used to count climbing on board TTL

  Hello

  I'm new to NOR-DAQ cards, and so before buying whatever it is would like to know if it is possible to use a device, NI USB-6211

  County and bin amounting to edges of a TTL signal.

  What I want to do is to count how many rising edges of a TTL signal I get in a period of 1 ms; a 20 Mhz sampling frequency should be fine.

  I would like to use Matlab to control and read the number of edges that are counted as well as in the meantime write and read digital IO ports from the USB-6211.

  Is it maybe possible to leave the external TTL signal trigger a 6211 counters, an output then periodically (1 ms) and reset the value of the counter?

  Is it possible and if yes, is it a good idea?

  Thanks and regards,

  Manual Hi

  In order to generate this signal, I could use a second timer mode continuous pulse Train generation, right?

  -> Right. You can choose between 2 options

  (1) get the signal to another device, for example signal generator or something like that. If you cannot use such a device, you must select the second solution->

  (2) generate the 1ms period square wave with the meter of the USB-6211 seconds

  I don't know a smart way to generate the 1ms period signal without the software side. You need the software to configure the second counter, route the signal to the second counter for the first counter and so on.

  Maybe you can use what is called "panel test" inside the Explorer Measurment & Automation to generate signal. The Measurment & Automation Explorer is a tool provided with the driver for the DAQ cards. The original purpose of this software utility is to configure your hardware, test and so on.

  I don't know if it works, but I imagine that the following solution:

  You use the test panel called inside the Measurment & Automation Explorer to generate the 1ms period signal (see attached screenshot and http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4638/en). You have no additional program to run the test Panel. Box USB-6211, you use a wire to connect the signal output of the meter of second at the entrance to the first counter. After that, you run Control Panel to test the generation of signals for the seconds counter. At the same time, you start your Matlab program and configure only the first counter. You will need to run the Testpanel all the time if you want to run your measurment.

  Not very nice, but maybe the only solution.

• How I ouptut a digital waveform, it has collated and compare it to the original with a usb-6211 box?

  I want a digital waveform to a circuit of output, read the return signal and compare the original to the read signal. I use a usb-6211 housing is it possible and if so, how?

  Use a comparator "equals sign", mark the post as a solution if you have the makings of what you wanted.

• Bad first USB 6211 data samples

  I work with the USB-6211 and Signal explicit, and for one of my sensors that I will receive entry incorrect for each sampling period. My sample rates and capture rates is at 44 kHz. The first attachment shows the first few samples each period. At the beginning of each sample is the same as the image below, and this only happens on my device of the accelerometer. My other devices do not exhibit this behavior.

  You see, this is explained in your chart title:

  FILTERED entry

  It is an artifact of conventional filter (the step response of the filter you use coarsly)

  You can try to reduce it by mirroring the first ms (?) of data, but usually you just capture some data more and cut.

• NEITHER USB-6008 connect to thermocuples and pressure sensors, control valve

  I am endevoring to build a gasification plant biomass for bench scale test process control plans. NEITHER USB-6008/6009 will be adapted for use as a data acquisition. I'll take RTDS, thermocouples and pressure sensors. I don't want to use industrial automation controllers.  It is also possible to use the channel of analog output for sending signals to a control valve position (using sufficient current/voltage between the two drivers).

  (1) OK.  I just wanted to be sure that you were aware of the potential dangers.

  (2) an RTD is a resistance that has small changes in resistance per degree of temperature change. To measure that you have need of a current source and a sufficient resolution in order to detect small changes.  At 25 degrees C a typical RTD is 109,73 ohms and resistance ohms 0.38 per degree changes.  If you had 1 my crossing this RTD voltage through it would be 109,7 mV and the voltage change of 0.38 mV by degree.

  The resolution of the 6008 on the most sensitive range is 0.49 mV > 1 degree.  The accuracy of the 6008 is 1.5 mV typical.

  For a Type K thermocouple, voltage at 25 degrees is 1.407 mV and change by degree is 39 µV.  Millivolt solving half of the 6008 translates into about 12 degrees.

  If you need a source of excitement for RTD and a kind of amplification for thermocouples and RTD before she would make any sense to try to use USB-6008.

  (3) I have not used anything except LabVIEW with DAQ devices and drivers.  I think DAQmx can be used with MATLAB and other languages.

  (4) the 6008 is the low range made by NOR. You will need to go to a more expensive camera or add signals conditioning circuits.  Talk to your representative OR assistance in the choice of a suitable device.

• Lack of charges, USB-6211 with linear gauge Mitutoyo (542 series)

  I use a USB-6211 box with a race of 10mm Mitutoyo Linear Gage (542 series, model LGA-110). The Mitutoyo has output similar to an encoder without the time by rev signal quadrature. (B has a phase shift of 90 degrees of A). Signals A and B are airline pilots. I have a k 2 5V to A resistance and another 2K to 5V to B, gives me a minimum of 0.05v and a maximum of 4.75V.

  The problem I encounter is that I seem to be missing certain counts that I can't always zero.

  I found that if I caress the complete range of meter and the return to zero in 20 seconds, I get a value close to 180 meter microphone. If I press the complete range of meter and the return to zero quickly in a second, I get a value close to 800 micrometer.

  If I caress the quick pledge on the compression and rebound more slowly, I find myself with a positive value. I caress the slow pledge on compression and quick on the rebound, I find myself with a negative value.

  As I said before, it seems miss me certain counts. With a pulse of each mic of 4 meters, it means I get only 2500 pulses per 10mm. This means that 10mm per second is only 2500 pulses per second. It seems slow for me, so I don't know what would be the problem.

  Does anyone have ideas for me to try?

  With this type of signal you should not missing any counts.  The time base on the box USB-6211 is 80 Mhz and therefore should have no problem to solve your two pulses per train.  I have a couple of steps that I would like you to try troubleshooting.

  1 to ensure that we plugged the inputs correctly to our DAQ hardware.

  2 ensures that we use both the non-reversed or two signals reversed.  Do NOT mix or 'type' of the signal.

  3 allows you to wire signals A and B in two inputs analog and we will try to read signals to ensure that the sensor is actually be set correctly by the sensor.  Be sure to taste pretty quickly--> 10 the frequency of the pulse train.  If you race through 10 mm in 1 sec--> 2500 pulses per second--> 25 kHz sampling rate.   Allows to check two things.  First we have a good TTL signals, and that we get the right number of charges.  If you reply to this thread plaese attach a screenshot of the present.

  4. we will try different encoder types x 1, x 2, x 4 in the DAQ assistant.  The x 2 and x 4 encoder allows the best sensitivity for small movements (which I'm not sure that it is the source of your proplem but it will be a good thing to check).  Types of encoder are discussed in more detail in the following developer area: quadrature encoder measures: How To?

  Let us know how it shapes to the top.

• PWM - output meter (PFI4) USB-6211

  I managed to control a motor based on PWM signal output via USB-6211 AO continuous. Now, I'm trying to use the Terminal counter instead.

  Can't seem to make it work. NA not get a signal when link the PFI4 terminal to an oscilloscope.

  I don't know wheather my coding is wrong or does not have my wiring (i.e. of USB-6211 for motor continuous). I need to use the terminal of meter that I used the analog output to a different measure.

  Please advice. Attached encodings.

  Thank you very much.

  Front of conneting to DC motor, make sure first that the PWM is get generated correctly... use oscilloscope.

  And have you changed the constant (physical terminals) for your device...?

• Strange analog output of USB-6211

  I just got USB-6211 to replace USB-6001 to set the clock to external sampling on analog output for LED lighting control. The part of external clock example works fine, but the analog output voltage is strange. To do self-monitoring, I connected control pin LED to AO0 & AI0 of surveillance in the NI MAX test panel and LED control on the ground at AO - GND & GND HAVE since I have both USB-6001 and USB-6211, I conducted tests on two of them with the same setting of wire. When I generate sine wave - 5V to 5V to AO0 (from NI MAX test panel), USB-6001 can monitor the same signal AI0, but watch USB-6211 - 3, 4V to 3.4V voltage truncated. I did the test separately (wiring one device at a time), so there is no interference between the two devices. USB-6211 past self-calibration and self-monitoring. Also, I did reset devices. I don't know why they would behave differently with the same configuration, and I hope that someone could help with this question. Thank you.

  Hi skuo1008,

  The USB-6001 can support + / 5 output current my from terminals to analog output, while the USB-6211 box can provide only +/-2 my current output.  It is likely that the load impedance is too low, causing the 6211 to hit its current compliance and thus cut the tension.  If you try to exchange your load with a resistance of at least 5 v/.002A = 2500 Ohms, you should be able to see the full +/-5V sine wave.  I suspect that your DUT has a words 3.4V/.002A = 1700 Ohms impedance.  You could use a device with higher output current or use a more current source buffer circuit.  If you do not need a bipolar output, you might also consider using digital lines to control the LEDs.

  Kind regards

• NEITHER USB-9162 driver works for MAX and SignalExpress, but not for LabView

  Hello

  I looked for a solution for a while now. According to Web sites OR the NI USB-9162 is compatible with LabView 2012. I installed the last DAQmx. My hardware has been detected and is sensitive to MAX and works very well in LabView Signal Express. But it is not detected in LabView 2012. I searched the forum and not found any solution other then all uninstallation and reinstallation of any. It is quite conssuming time and would rather avoid if possible. Anyone have a solution? I wish I could appreciate.

  Tool:

  NEITHER USB-9162

  NEITHER RIO-9215

  I reinstalled everything, and now I can work with it. I can't say that I was wrong on the first time, but now it works very well as well as other bugs that are now set.

  Thank you for your answers

• Sampling frequency for the output of an acquisition of data USB-6211 card?

  Hello-

  I use a CGI CMOS FireWire camera to read an interference figure, then using a transformed of Fourier transform spectral interferometery (FTSI) phase recovery simple algorithm to detect the relative phase between the successive shots.  My camera has a linear 28 kHz scan rate, and I programmed my phase retrieval algorithm take ms ~0.7 (of a trigger of camera at the exit of the phase). I use the live signal to control a piezoelectric stack, by sending a voltage single sample to the analog output of a data USB-6211 acquisition card.

  Send this output voltage increases the time of my loop 4 m, I would really like to achieve a 1 kHz or better sampling rate. Is the problem with my DAQ card or with the processor in my computer? The DAQ cards of NOR can support these speeds?

  Thank you

  Hey Mike,

  With USB, your loop rate will be around or under 1 kHz, even on the best of the systems. USB has a higher latency and less determism PCI and PCIe. You can get rates AO one much better sample on a PCI card, potentially a PCI-6221. We have a few HAVE points of reference for targets of RT for PCI, / AO in a loop, you should be able to get similar performance in Windows, but if you do a lot other treatments may suffer from your local loop rates.

  Hope this helps,

• The sampling frequency is divided between channels USB-6211

  I use a USB-6211 DAQ card.  The jury is announced with a rate of 250 kech. / s.  I started to take action with 2 channels and could not get the frequency of sampling of 125kHz, then when I tried to make measurements on 5 channels, I could get a maximum of 50 kHz sampling frequency.  This figure of 250 kech. / s is really the sum on all channels, or is there a way to get that channel?

  I have only a simple Laview program with a while loop, 1 assistant DAQ entry with 5 channels, assistant DAQ 1 exit with 1 output channel, box 'Relaxation and door' to catch a progressive input signal, a smoothing filter and graphics.

  250 kech. / s is an aggregation rate as shown on the first page of the document specifications.  This means that the device has a single A/D converter that is shared by all channels under analysis.  According to th etime to the multiplexer and all time for the internal amplifier, your maximum rate may be slightly less than 250,000 / N where N is the number of channels.

• AI data seem to be fallen on the NI USB-6211 case

  Hi all

  It seems that, after a thorough inspection, I am having some problems with a DAQ USB (USB-6211).  I try to read and to capture a series of samples to a fixed dt for a fixed rate (i.e. 50 ksps / s to 50 kHz for 1 s).  At every point I have retrieve the data (using the vi DAQmx Read), I add the (recovered as a waveform) data to all previously retrieved data (using the vi Append waveform).  After that I captured my 50 kS, I then ship the data off the coast in a queue for processing in the frequency domain using one of the FFT routines. Pretty easy, right?   However, according to what is happening on the desktop, it seems that the data acquisition time can vary at least +/-20 we tell me that some of the sampled data may have been deleted (if only a few samples) and is irregularly spaced out in time.  It is a problem like falling none of the data is likely to skew the results in the frequency domain.

  If you have a thought, please let me know.

  Thanks, Matt

  Thanks for the timely response, kikiduu and I apologize for the delay in responding.  It turns out that I've implemented my evil FFT and it was question thereal I deal with.  Briefly, I was generating a tophat in the shape of signal in the frequency domain, and then using the IDFT to convert the singal to a time field that could be sent to the DAC.  When I got the signal that I had generated, depended on the result of the where the AO signal was sampled.  The simple answer to why it happened was with the windowing feature that I used.

  However, as you pointed out, my use of the DAQmx Read and add waveforms is unnecessary and causes data drops that I demanded a fixed number of samples each time.  I have since implemented the reading as you suggested and everything works perfectly (and uses a lot less time CPU).  Thanks for the comments.

  Cheers, Matt
