  Get incremental counter/sound to work along the coast with usb-6008 with labview tia sal22

  Hi all

  I can get this vi to work if they are distinct from the vi but I can't join them together

  Example of my error:

  If buffers are set to 0 the freq counter increment works, but no sound
  If the buffers are set to 1 the audio works fine but is not increment the Freq counter
  If the buffers are attached to more 1 clicks and pops are coming

  That's what I'm doing:
  (1) have the frequency of increment of my internal sound card to a certain level as .01hz a second until he gets to 20 000 hz

  (2) use my device usb-6008 daq, which is connected to the same machine to measure the voltage at the same time. (I am in a position very low voltages between 1-5volts)

  (3) output to a worksheet text file which will show you:

  time in seconds, frequency, voltage
  0,400.01,2

  1,400.02,2.5

  2,400.03,1

  I'm a bit confused about how connect the increment and the audio during the measurements with the usb-6008 housing on the same machine
  at the same time and in the same VI.

  Anyone have any ideas?  I'm using labview 8.5
  TIA sal22

  Ha ha you have been deceived by a dynamic thread. Insert a convert from Dynamic Data Express VI (Palette to own: Signal handling screw Express) between the daq read and build the array function. Then it won't work. Now the value in the dynamic data is only converted to a numeric value

• Acquisition of data USB-6008 not detected in LabVIEW

  Hello

  So my USB-6008 DAQ hardware is not available when I do a new task DAQmx (or open the DAQ assistant).

  I found this link: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/179BC9B0266168288625722100738C22
  I did everything just said but LV still does not detect my USB-6008.

  As you can see on the image below it is detected by the solution of measurement and Automation Explorer. I don't know how to test with visa test Panel.

  

  After that, I tried to test with the diagnostic utility, and here it does not appear in the list.

  I downloaded the appropriate (several times) drivers but still nothing.

  Can someone help me with this?

  
  

• DAQ USB-6008 will be able to power and record voltage for UMS T5 blood pressure at the same time?

  I would use my NI USB-6008 to power my blood pressure monitor UMS T5 (http://www.ums-muc.de/en/products/tensiometer/t5.html) but also to take readings of it, but I don't know if it's possible to do it properly. The power supply for the instrument can be as low as 5V, I can easily get the dedicated + 5V channel. I'm able to feed the instrument and connect it to an analog input on the 6008 and measure a voltage in differential mode. However, when you read the documentation of support for the instrument, I find the following:

  "Potential pitfalls of data acquisition: the pressure transducer is configured in a full Wheatstone bridge, the input voltage and mV signal output can be connected to the same reference (mass)." Therefore, the mV output signal can be measured using a differential voltage measurement. Therefore, do not make an asymmetric measure of pressure transducer mV output. "(http://www.decagon.com/assets/Uploads/MeasuringUMSTensiometerswithnon-UMSControlandDataAcquisitionSystems.pdf)

  My understanding is that the 6008 can take a differential measure if I attach the signal '+' and the signal "-" to the analog inputs of positive and negative terminals. However, it seems that all the ports of ground on the 6008 are grounded to the same reference, which would make my measure of invalid tension according to the above paragraph. So my real question is: if I try to record the voltage with one of the analog inputs on the 6008 in this way, is the valid measurement? Or I need to find a separate power supply, with a different reference field to ensure that the measure is accurate?

  The technical details of this device is very poor. The manual is not much better. Companies that want to sell scientific equipment should publish decent cards or get out of business.

  In section 3.4.3 General requirements the device is described as a "bridge not amplified circuit.  This information along with the impedance of the bridge should be in the specifications, because it is essential to apply the device under any circumstances other than the nominal behavior in 10.6 V.

  The answer to your question is:

  You can use it with the box USB-6008.  The 5 V supply will result in output voltages a little less than half (5/10.6) the voltage specified in nominal conditions. You can use the differential input mode on the box USB-6008.  The absolute input voltages will be approximately 2.5 V with the 5 V power supply. This voltage is in the range of the aircraft. The differences are likely to be less than 100 mV. The resolution of the USB-6008 on the + /-1 V is located about 0.5 mV so your resolution of pressure will be about 1% of full scale. The voltage input impedance and termination of the USB-6008 will present a few errors.  These can be in the order of 5 to 10%. I can't predict much better without the missing bridge impedance specification.  These errors should be relatively constant and systematic. A calibration of the whole system - sensor and together hardware DAQ should allow you to compensate for a large part of this error.

  Jim,

  No, traditional DAQ isn't USB compatible, 6008.

  You can use DAQmx base instead, but I wouldn't recommend it.

• AO. MaxRate, AO. MinRate, AO. Properties of voltage. RNGs for hardware DAQ USB-6008

  Hello

  in one of my report, I use the AO. Property of Voltage.Rngs to see if the selected DAQ card takes in charge the application voltage range. This works very well for my PCMCIA card as well as a PCI card. Now run the same VI with a USB-6008 device, this property gives all the return values. In addition, the report of AO.max.rate and AO.min.rate of the '0', the output is-200197 error properties. I use DAQmx as it is supposed to support the same functions for all DAQmx devices. Can someone please tell me what wrong here and how can I get around this?

  Best regards

  Gabs

  AO.min.rate and AO.max.rate are 0 and error-200197 back because the USB-6008 case supports the outputs analog hardware timed.  The description of error is "device does not support this property."  There is an entrance to the knowledge base for this question.

  By selecting 'Use Waveform' uses the synchronization of the sample clock.  The waveform data type specifies a delta t, which is used to set the sample clock frequency.  It is not supported on the box USB-6008.  You shouldn't set your calendar of sample type or explicitly assign the "On Demand".

  The DAQmx driver supports hundreds of different devices.  Not all combinations of properties are valid for all devices.

• Reading NI USB 6008 of executable

  Hi all

  I tried to find a solution in existing topics, but unfortunately could not find a suitable solution.

  I use a USB-6008 read a voltage on ai0. When I run the VI with the USB device connected to my development pc it works very well (DAQ assistant was used to read the value on ai0). After making an executable on my development pc also works. However, when I move the executable file on the computer on which I want to use it does not read voltage. If I start NI Max, I noticed that the computer is able to read the value, so physically everything should be good. To me, it seems that some link/link is missing from the software. Anyone know what may be missing/defective in my executable?

  OR DAQmx is installed on the computer on which it is to run.

  Is the device and channel named in the same way on desktop deployment as was the development of your PC?  Display the MAX on each PC and compare.

• MAX and Mac (to control on Labview, NI USB-6008)

  Hi, I would like to order my USB NI 6008 card in my Mac. I'm using Labview, but I'm a real beginner. I get my sensor on my USB card data and I can use them in Labview to control an electric trolley. This project is for my review: engenering school.

  So, on PC (Windows), it's ok, but on my mac, I do not find MAX. And if I understand, I need MAX to create the DAQ Assistant and a few other VI in Labview. However, I have yet install Base DASmx 3.4 for mac os.

  Could you help me please?

  I'm sorry for my English, it's so bad. I'm studying french and I'd rather post here because I found no answers in the french part of forums of NOR.

  See youi soon.

  Thank you

  The USB-6008 camera is supported with DAQmx Base, Yes. You do not get MAX, but you can always control your USB-6008.

  Install LabVIEW 2010 and DAQmx Base 3.4and this should give you the DAQmx Base vis in LabVIEW palettes.

• USB-6008, USB-6501 and Embarcadero C++

  Hello NEITHER and NOR users,.

  I spent a considerable amount of money several years ago on a number of devices USB-6008 and USB-6501 for a class that I teach on interfacing the simulations with realworld sensors and actuators.  Write us code using Embarcadero C ++ Builder and we wrote the code to interface with the jury of EZIO AD / DA via RS - 232.  The EZIO is much too slow and limited.  Given advertising NOR, we bought these boards, but after several attempts to get some information OR on the way to talk to these devices directly via C++, we have yet no valid response.  No, I don't want to LabView or any additional expenses.  I just want to talk to them directly.

  OR: are you ready to help with this, or not?  If this is not the case, although wanting to refund these purchases.  Announce as being accessible from C++, but you are not willing to provide any help of substance to this day...

  Yes, I am self-taught, write code, and old-school enough to feel that I have a right to know how to talk to all the devices I buy.  I confess my ignorance, but I'm sick and tired of secret corporate and misleading advertising.

  Can someone please provide me with enough example of code to start.  That's what we wrote for the EZIO:

  http://www.Duke.edu/Web/ISIS/Gessler/Borland/RealWorld-Ezio.htm

  We would like to start writing similar code for these materials of NEITHER.  If possible, we can buy more.  If this is not the case, these cards are useless.

  Kind regards

  Nick,

  When you have installed the DAQmx drivers to communicate with the 6008 and 6501, I assume you also installed programming examples? It is here that they are on my XP machine: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DAQmx ANSI C.  I don't think that Embarcadero C++ Builder is one of the languages supported, so you'll need to twist your compiler, but it should give you a good start.

• Pt100 (USB-6008) configuration problems

  Hello

  I'm using the hardware DAQ USB-6008 (I know that's not accurate and all) and I use the Pt100 (QAP2010, click for plug technique).

  I connected it like this.

  Now in LabVIEW, these are the only options (DAQmx new task-> acquire->-> RTD temperature signals).

  If I choose for custom settings, I get these options (I don't know what variables that is).

  I use a small greenhouse where I need to measure the temperature and humidity and control environment (by using a fan to cool the cartridges to greenhouse and heat to heat).

  My goal is to read the temperature using a graph on the front panel.

  Can someone help me how configure/choose the right options? If you need more information I'll provide them as soon as possible!

  A quick search for RTD class B shows the precision and the coefficient. As Fan Ravens stressed resistance according to the temperature is plotted in the data sheet.  To control the temperature in greenhouse, a simple calculation of the slope of this graph is not good enough.

  Note that the USB-6008 case limited an active player on the outputs analog and it controls only the voltage. So you will need at least one external resistor and possibly and external power to excite the RTD.  These options that you have linked is not applicable to the USB-6008, which is a very simple device. You should perhaps simply to measure the voltage and calculate first resistance, then the temperature.

• USB 6008 digital output signal

  I am VERY new to LabView and have been racking my brain trying to get digital output of my USB-6008.  All I want is to be able to get a signal of + 5 V of my digital output when I click on a button.  This signal opens a valve on a system I see so when it is pressed, it must stay open until I press the new button.  It seems simple enough to me, but I'm not too familiar with LabView.  Help, please!

  Stripling07

  You must first take the LabVIEW tutorials and then look at the links to get started with DAQmx .

  The simplest program would be with the DAQ Assistant. Drop it on your schema, and then select digital output > digital line. Select the line when the wizard has completed, click OK. Wire a Boolean value in a table to build and the output of which is connected to the data entry. That's all. You can test the output of MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer) with the test Panel. Do NOT test with your connected tap. Your valve may require more current that can provide the 6008.

  

• Want a ramp of output voltage over time and measure input 2 analog USB-6008

  Hello

  I want to produce an analog voltage output signal that increases over time with a certain slope, which I'll send in a potentiostat and at the same time I want to read voltage and current (both are represented by a voltage signal) that I want to open a session and ultimately draw from each other. To do this, I have a DAQ USB-6008 system at my disposal.

  Creation of the analogue output with a linear ramp signal I was possible using a while loop and a delay time (see attachment). Important here is that I can put the slope of the linear ramp (for example, 10mV/s) and size level to make a smooth inclement. However when I want to measure an analog input signal he's going poorly.

  To reduce noise from the influences I want for example to measure 10 values for example within 0.1 second and he averaged (this gives reading should be equal or faster then the wrong caused by the slope and the linear ramp step size.) Example: a slope of 10 mV/s is set with a 10 step size. Each 0.1 s analog output signal amounts to 1 mV. Then I want to read the analog input in this 0.1 s 10 values)

  Because I use a timer to create the linear ramp and the analog input is in the same loop, the delay time also affects the analog input and I get an error every time. Separately, in different VI-programs (analog input and output) they work fine but not combined. I searched this forum to find a way to create the ramp in a different way, but because I'm not an experienced labview user I can't find another way.

  To book it now a bit more complicated I said I want to measure 2 input analog (one for the voltage of the potentiostat) signals and one for the current (also represented by a voltage signal) and they should be measured more quickly then the bad of the analog signal. I have not yet started with because I couldn't read on channel work.

  I hope someone can help me with this problem

  An array of index. You want to index the columns for a single channel.

• 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.

• USB-6008, how to calibrate two signals are equal entry?

  HI all, I use NI USB-6008 and evaluation of labview 8.5, using the daq assistant.

  1st quarter) to calibrate the two input voltage signals become equal?

  Q2) I used the comparison for example function: not equal.  When the two entries get value not equal, how to output of 0-5 v output?

  If someone need more information to help me, I can provide.

  Not sure at all what you mean by "0-5 v output to the output. Want you the difference between the two inputs to output?

  In addition, two input signals will probably never equal. It's just not something that exists in the numbers floating point on a computer. You must subtract one from the other and uses in the range and force the function to determine if they are close enough.
