USB-6501 is and Off is on

Hello

I have a USB-6501.

When I send the value True to the writing DAQmx digital VI the signal from the equipment turns off, and when I wire a false material passes.

The same thing happens with an entry. Causes a short circuit between the terminals and ground out the fake DAQmx for read, and unconnected with this is true.

A colleague has the same problem with the 6501, but not with its PCI DAQ card.

It is somewhat paradoxical when programming. Is there a way to reverse this behavior? (other than just not forgetting to add in one does not)

Simple test VI attached.

Tested with a different usb-6501 on another machine. Same problem...

If your work Apok ok, so it's really weird.

Would you care to elaborate on the above Apok?

My knowledge of electronics is minimal

your IO is linked to a 4.7Kohm resistance which is also connected to 5Vdc. transistor is turned off, output pulls up to the level of 5Vdc and... output transistor pulls up close gnd, given a drop of transmitter led

  • USB-6501 - impossible to find a basic example of Labview

    Hello

    I recently bought a USB-6501 card and I used it in my own succesfully end and C++ programs using the DAQmx drivers.

    Then I tried to move to Labview 2009 (I never used Labview) so I looked for a simple example.

    I tried to boot from the example 'interactive Control Panel' (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/AF0F31EE5D2AD23F862573140009D7C2?OpenDocument).

    I had to install the 'DAQmx Base' for him to start, as described in the previous link. now it begins (before Labview attempted to get a few missing .vi) but I get a message "error 200220 occurred at an unidentified locatio.

    Then I realized this example is 'old' (as explained here: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=209247), and it is suggested to look for a new one in example Finder ' entry-level equipment / output-> DAQmx-> Digital measurement (or generation)-> read Dig Port.VI.

    I tried, but along the way ' entry-level equipment / output-> DAQmx-> "only a folder named"Analog Measurement\Voltage"exists.

    Also in the search for 'Reading dig Port.VI' does not work.

    I've already spent many hours in this research and tent and the fact that I am not able to find not even a basic example, it is quite frustrating and it is making me give up the idea of using Labview.

    Please can anyone give me any suggestions where find/download an example simple and minimum to use my USB6501 in Labview 2009?

    Thank you

    Scipione.

    First, install DAQmx Base was a mistake. Uninstall it and then install the Driver-OR-DAQmx. The driver must be installed after the installation of LabVIEW. After installation, make sure that the device is listed in MAX under "DAQmx devices. If it is not, your installation is still not correct.

    To search for example LabVIEW, see help > find examples. Under Input and Output hardware > DAQmx, you will find the digital generation and numerical measures. You have to look at the simple, timed software examples such as read write dig Chan, writing Port to dig, dig chan, reading Dig Port. You also have the option to use the DAQ Assistant.

  • USB-6501 as Stepper Motor Driver

    Hello

    I've been away from LabVIEW for awhile (6 years or more) and I have a small task to achieve and am really struggling to start.

    I have a USB-6501 DIO and Labview version 8.6.  I need to drive a motor not not that requires 4 input (in my case 2 Port (0 to 3)) and depending on the phase of these 4 signals with respect to the other (its a circuit of H-bridge) the engine to drive forward or backward.

    I started with DAQ assistant and I seem to be communicating correctly with the OID and the engine, but I'm not at the stage of being able to produce my 4 signals.  I know that the USB-6501 must be controlled with a timing (as opposed to the generation of a train of function for example).  However I am stuck at start-up my possible solutions seem very long breath that I was wondering if there was a quick and easy solution to produce my 4 signals?  I don't know I'm missing something.

    Any help/comments would be greatly appreciated, as I'm very rusty and I have no time my solution.

    See you soon,.

  • How do I turn on/off outputs multiples with a single button using USB-6501 & Labview 2010

    I've written a VI with 24 buttons, one for each output of the USB-6501, for turning on and off 24 relay.  Now, I want to add more buttons that activate and deactivate the outputs multiple.  We will call these Presets buttons and pressing the Preset button a few outings turn and some turn off.  Get it?  The VI I've included a screen shot is used to test a transmission controller and rather than to manually select one at a time relay I want a preset button that sets up instantly relays for the next stage of the event.

    The VI I wrote uses tasks created in NI MAX.

    I am a beginner of Labview, so please try to keep your easy to understand solutions if possible.

    Thank you

    BTW, I'm registered in Core 1 and 2 month next to Richardson, Texas.

    Here's an example - you will learn about the grapes, berries, events, etc., in the class, but this will give you a head start. Code is attached but I took a screenshot to give people an idea of how simple the schema becomes:

    As your learn about them, I suggest you also make the cluster a TypeDef and make management mistakes, but I've omitted the example to keep things as simple as I could.

  • 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.

  • Difference between USB power on and power off in W510

    Hi there everyone!

    I have not found a lot of information on this topic... Maybe a stupid question, but I need help...

    I was thinking of W510 purchase. Then, East-USB3 ports powered? I ask, because in the sales ads that I was looking for, they inform about two USB 3.0, a powered USB 2.0 and a USB 2.0/eSATA combo port. Then I started to worry, is powered by the 3.0 port. This is rather important, because I need the port superspeed for video capture, and my capture (Blackmagic intensity shuttle) draws its energy device is USB.

    Thank you in advance for support!

    Hello mate,

    All usb ports feed. What they mean by powered is that the usb 2.0 port is always powered even when the computer is turned off. This port is in the back and yellow. The other ports are not powered when the laptop is turned off, but they are when it is turned on.

  • USB-6008 turning outputs ON and OFF

    I'm new to LabVIEW. This is the first time I tried to write a VI that communicates with an external device. Everything I'm doing adjust tensions and put on or off the two analog outputs for a USB-6008. I don't read all the entries or do something with the outputs digital, I want to just turn out analog ON and OFF.

    Here's what I have so far.

    It does the job of setting that puts the analog output to the USB-6008.

    The only thing left to do is to make an executable file. I don't have any idea on how to do it again.

    I'm sure a true guru LabVIEWw could have done better, but it does the job.

  • NI USB-6501 digital output problem

    Hello

    I use DASYLab v.11 and I'm working on an interface with the NI USB-6501 where I'm putting a digital high on four ports.

    With the module "NOR-DAQmx - digital input", I managed to read the digital inputs of the ' NI USB-6501 ".»

    It's only the "NOR-DAQmx - digital output" I can't go to work.

    Using 'NI MAX' of NOR I have easily can emmit my four LEDs in the way of my High/Low ports.

    But not with DASYLab. When you use DASYLab tension on the ports remains unchanged.

    Now, I have a switch module, generating 5/0, directly connected to the digital output module, which is assigned to my four output ports for my task.

    I also tried with a module of relay between the two without success. I also tried to use 1.5 above instead of 5 without success.

    I use the option 'Bus (0/5 supply) for the module "Digital output".

    "NI Max", I configured the ports as "active drive.

    Any suggestion of what I might be missing?

    Thank you

    Martin

    Hmm, four ports, or four lines?

    A port consists of eight lines. Each line can control an LED (ON / OFF ~ 0/5V).

    If you have created a task to dig-out to control a port, 5V to this port sending sets all lines of this port to 'high '.

    You need to 255 for each line one too high port (at the bit level: 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1).<- eight="">

    Or, you can create a dig out tasks to control four lines of a specific port.

    Four lanes of the EEG DAQmx DigOut module.

    Each of the channels of the modul will feed a single line of the task/device.

    Four switches will then turn the lights, or turn off.

    Make sure, that the 'bitposition' is the number of correct line (see picture).

  • Generation of voltage USB-6501

    Hi all

    I am very new to the use of devices to LabView and NI, so forgive me if my question seems stupid.

    I have an acquisition of data NI USB-6501 I want to use to connect to a device that will open or close a lid when triggered.

    My question is: is it possible to programmatically trigger the nominal voltage of the USB-6501?

    I'm using LabView for this and I am running on Windows 7. I couldn't find examples of LabView bases that were related to the output voltage for the USB-6501.

    Any help would be really appreciated, thanks in advance

    Thanks for your replies.

    After a few changes, the example "Write dig Chan" helped me to get the behavior I want to put on and a device plugged power off.

  • Timed signal generation TTL with the NI USB-6501 to be read by Arduino Uno

    First of all, I want to apologize - I am very, very new to LabVIEW and brand new to the development of the software of control equipment in general. I tried to find an answer to this question already, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for.

    I have currently a work program LabVIEW which operates a gun card NI USB-6501. Due to the nature of having a machine that springs from a powerful beam of electrons, we want to assure you that if the computer controlling stalls or fails for any reason, we have built-in security that can stop the gun. Our current idea is to connect an Arduino Uno on a PIN on the USB-6501 and LabVIEW to generate a timed signal, which may read the Arduino. If the signal fails (indicating that the control computer has queued or off), the Arduino triggers a power relay that is independent of the control computer and turns off the gun.

    I understand that the USB-6501 operates on TTL signals, so the signal that I should be something in the sense of "output TTL high, wait 1 second, output low expectations, a second, repeat TTL ', but I have no idea how to go about programming in LabVIEW. My first thought was that it is a square wave by using the function "simulate the signal" output, or to have trigger an iterative Boolean signal, by using the function 'DAQmx write', but I don't really understand how do to implement or another idea, or if an idea would even work.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Elizabeth,.

    THINK THE STREAM!

    When do you DATAFLOW think everything falls in places!

    Several problems:

    -You have to put that MAKE impulse VI in his own loop parallel to your main VI!

    -When you place this generation of impulses in the effects loop ("TTL arduino low-high") you should put the CreateTask and StopTask outside the loop: no need to create/stop the task in each iteration.

    -Why are there points of constraint to waiting functions?

    -Why is there bent wires? You know Ctrl-U?

    -LabVIEW comes with an extensive library of example screws: you looked at all these examples DAQmx?

    -Suggestion: Learn more about the "structures of producer-consumer"!
