• 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

• Current limit for analog output on USB-6211-OEM

  The current output drive listed in the specifications of this card is of +/-2 my. What happens when you try to go beyond that? Is there damage to the card or is it simply rail out around 2mA. For example, if I connect a 1000 ohm load. I'm okay, if I have the output up to 2V (= 2mA), but what happens when I exit 3V with the same 1000 ohm load?

  Thank you.

  Protection of the overdrive is 2.4 mA, which means that you can ride this current without damaging the card, but a current of approximately 2 mA, tension is more guaranteed to be compliant to the specifications.

• 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.

• Simple examples of analog output USB-6343

  I've tried passing by 'find' examples and does not know how to find what I want.

  I'm doing a simple analog output on a USB-6343.  Examples of waveforms say they work with the USB-6343, but I really don't want a waveform, just analog of output does not exceed 10 Hz speed of renewal.  Some of the more simple examples show that they work with the pcie-6343 but do not list USB-6343.

  I worked with USB-6009 in the past, but when I try to use an analog output task that uses 1 sample on request, I get the error "not buffered operations clocked by the hardware are not supported for device and channel type.»  Set the size of greater than 0 buffer, do not set up the timing of the sample clock or the value Type of sample On Demand time"

  I tried samples N, 100 samples to write to 10 Hz - the same error.  Samples of continuous - same error.  1-sample - timed HW - same error.

  There is a series of examples of I/O for the X series?  Is it possible to search the device examples rather than go through all the examples and by checking the list of devices individually?

  Is 'size of the buffer' the 'writing samples"in MAX?

  After contacting the support I was provided with the names of the more simple examples for analog i/o:

  Analog output-Gen power Update.vi

  Analog Input-Acq & chart voltage-Int Clk.vi

  They are found in the getting started screen of

  Click 'Find examples' near the lower right corner

  Filter the results to material by clicking on the menu drop down for the material in the lower left corner and selecting USB-6343 (only connected equipment will be displayed)

  Don't forget to check the box "limit results to material" below.

  In the center pane, double-click 'Material Input and Output'

  Double-click DAQmx

  Path for the analog input - double-click Acq & chart analog measures - double click on tension - tension-Int Clk.vi

  Double click on analog generation - double click on Power - Gen Update.vi of analog channel output voltage

  The examples are for the single data point.  Samples and exit multiples are produced by putting the writing or reading VI inside a loop.  The beginning and the clear functions should be out of the loop.

  Additional information, I need technical support was how material-filter results and identification of more simple examples which were not obvious from the examples of names.

• 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.

• Incorrect value for analog output USB-6008. Cannot not out more than 3V

  I use USB-6008 analog IO, but the analog output (AO0 or AO1) can go up to 3 - 3.5V. The output can follow accurately the value of 0 to 2, 5V, but then he start the values adjusted trolling and not can not spend you 3.5V exponentially.

  The only strange thing the entire circuit is that I connected all patterns (analog source and I/O 5V) between them, but I don't see what affect the output.

  Kind regards

  ISSOKO

  Thanks for the quick reply Ana.

  It is not the Council NOR, nor the Council of motorization. Apparently, the interface for motor control (motor spirit C: solutions - cubed.com), load the analog output. A tension following actually isolated op amp output USB-6008 and solved the problem.

• To write a waveform to two outputs analog of DAQ(USB-6215)

  Hello

  I use USB-6215, who has two analog outputs and having to send the same waveform through the analog outputs two of my DAQ. at the same time. in fact, I have a text file consisting of a code word (please see the attatchment) with dt, freq and annex 0 in the first column and other columns contain the word coded. Withe the help of dt, the rate and the data I did a waveform with the wave of construction VI. I am able to write this wavefrom through an analog output A01 right now. I want to know how I could write the same analog waveform other AO0 out simultaneously. I use a source of external triggering via PFI0 to be triggered. for now, I use the write.vi DAQmx (analog channel 1 DBL 1 d N samples) and DAQmx create virtual channel.vi with dev1/ao1 as the physical channel. For more information, I am attatching the program along with the text file. Please see page 2 of my structure of matter in the VI attatched.

  Thank you.

  Hi Steve,.

  his works now. I changed the instance of writing DAQmx for analog waveform samples N channel N. still, I now that a single waveform. How could I do like two like it (writing DAQmx) will not accept a single waveform as the entry as the number of channels in the task will now be 2 where, under the waveform has an exit.

  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").

• 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.

  More info you might need:

  LabVIEW 2010

  The VI is attached.

• How to out high-level digital signal (5V from 1V) on usb-6210?

  Hi, I work with a OR usb-6210 and so I did not all channels of analog output that I can use. I hope that I can use the digital output for my application because I am creating a switch I can synchronize my editing. I need 5V output for my device run and currently, I am only able to get 1V.

  -Teo

  Outputs digital are dip lent TTL of the stent, since, your load is attractive more current that can provide the device and drop the voltage. Please provide information on what you are connected to or look at the other posts where users have had exactly the same problem. You probably just a conductor connected to the digital output.

• A USB-6210 will work on USB 1.1?

  Quick question...

  A USB-6210 will work OK only with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 ports?

  I am considering buying one of these, and there is a small chance I might need to use it on an old computer that only has USB 1.1 ports.

  I only need 16 channels of analog input with a sampling rate around 1 kHz, without input/output digital or counter.

  Hello, MIG,.

  I hope you are well today!  In fact, you are able to use our devices for acquisition of data USB 2.0, USB 1.1, but with the decrease in speed.  Please see this link here for more information on styling.

• 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.
