• How to increase the speed of data acquisition?

  Hey, currently I using 6210 OR of data acquisition and control switch. I used labview to periodically check the 7 switches and read data from 7 channels in the meantime (1 sample on request). I ran 70 loops for 10 groups of data, the cost of the time looked like 2.2 seconds.

  I would like to end a 700 loops in 2 seconds, is it possible to improve?

  Thank you

  Look at the Terminal stop of the DAQ Assistant Express VI. You are starting and stopping of the task for the acquisition of data on each iteration of the loop.

  Starting from the help file:

  Stop

  Specifies to stop the task and release device resources when this Express VI ends execution. For ongoing tasks, this entry is FALSE by default, which means that the task is running until the application terminates. To stop the task, you can use the device again in the same application, wire control wire you the Conditional stop this entry to the same terminal of the while loop. For single-point and finished tasks, this entry is TRUE by default, which means work stoppages after all samples are acquired. To optimize the performance of single point when using this Express VI into a loop, wire control wire you the Conditional stop this entry to the same terminal of the while loop.

  Also from the help file:

  Continuous single point of entry or exit, the of VI Express DAQ Assistant cannot allow optimal operation. See Acq & chart voltage-Single Point optimization VI in examples\DAQmx\Analog In\Measure Voltage.llb for an example of techniques to create more powerful applications, single point of I/O.

• motion control for vertical actuator and data acquisition

  Hello

  I am a researcher (a branch of civil engineering) geotechnical engineering and I have very little knowledge about the acquisition of control and data motion, so would need a lot of help from the experts OR. I have only knowledge base on these 2 aspects based on my reading of some materials on the Web site of NOR and youtube videos, so I hope that you bare with me . Here are my questions:

  I am trying to build an actuator which will be used to push a probe (a penetrometer with a load cell to measure the resistance of a soil sample), resembling the concept, photography in the attached file. I need to have these criteria for my system:

  (1) actuator, which can push the probe at speeds between 0.01 mm/s - 300 mm/s with precision and move the probe cyclically (upwards and downwards) in the vertical direction
  (2) load expected on the probe into the ground range: 0.02kN - 6 kN.
  (3) necessary to get the load cell load data and the speed of the probe.

  4) able to control the actuator to a PC (speed and posotion) and monitor data from transducers and data log time even the transducers.

  Guess my beginners is that I will need:

  For orders:
  (1) software - LabVIEW and NOR-motion assistant

  (2) controller - NI PCI-7342

  (3) driver/amplifier - analogue servo AKD Drive

  (4) motor - motor brushless servo AKM

  For the acquisition:
  (1) software - based LabVIEW development systems

  (2) amplifiers or other device - no idea what type on the conditioning of signals

  (3) data acquisition device - no idea what type

  Since I'm a beginner, is - that someone might recommend components (hardware and software) for the control and data acquisition. I'm on a tight budget, so I thankful if someone could help me to recommend components good enough to build my system.

  Thanks for your help.

  At these rates, you will need to run the sensor for the cDAQ.  You can configure the analog output on the Tritex nationally on the position.  There is an adjustable filter that you can set in order to get a clean enough to 300 Hz signal.  When you learn about the Tritex, make sure that let you them know what comms and e/s that you want to use.  If I remember, not all options have worked together.  The analog output may need to be my, but you can put a resistance through the acquisition of input data to get the voltage instead.  I don't remember all the details.  You should really not too much on the Tritex/LabVIEW side.  You will send your movement parameters (beginning of end of race, speed, position, accel, cut), and if you cycle (I believe you) or simply running in a loop.  You could also just be able to use the functions of jog.  When you get close to knowing exaclty what you need, PM me and I'm sure we can work something out with the drivers.  You need only the basics.  In fact, you could probably do this all your movements via digital and analog i/o.

• Control and simulation and data acquisition

  Hello

  I am applying to motor control in Labview. I'm sampling speed from DC engine in real time through an acquisition of data. (my sampling time is 1000 samples per second)

  Then wrap speed as input to a Simulation (simulation and design of the order) and inside the loop simulation, I have a PID controller. The PID has the actual speed of the engine for the acquisition of data and the engine reference speed as input.

  Reference engine speed comes from the generator of signals (control design and simulation-Simulation) and is a waveform.

  My step in the engine size is 1000.

  I am running this application real-time and drawing the reference signal and the motor real signals. I run into several problems with regard to the calendar.

  1. when I change the size of the step of the simulation loop, the frequency of squares of reference also seems to change. For example. What step size = 1000, duration of pulse = 1 s. What step size = 100, pulse width = 0.1. (My pulse frequency is 1 Hz, Simulation clock - 10 kHz). How step size can affect the pulse width.

  2. can you explain the relationship between the DAQ, the Simulation step size loop sampling time, Loop Simulation period.

  3. If I want to collect different sets of data using sampling different hours, it's OK to change the sampling DAQ time without changing the size of the step of the simulation.

  Would also like to emphasize that the DAQmx calendar under sample clock mode is placed in front of the simulation loop and the output is connected to the loop simulation.

  Appreciate any help.

  Hello

  Maybe some screenshots of your code would help. Furthermore, what you have read your samples together with your DAQ screws?

  (1) If you have a waveform, the output is specified as:

  

  For example, if you change the size of the step of the simulation loop, you change the simulation time which are introduced into the signal generator and affecting the waveform that you see if you do not have a size quite small step to characterize the waveform that you generate.

  (2) sampling DAQ rate is the speed at which samples are taken on the acquisition of card data itself. The size of the simulation step, help. "Specifies the interval between the time when the ODE Solver evaluates the model and updates the results of the model, in a few seconds." Simulation loop, still using, "Indicates the amount of time that elapses between two subsequent iterations of the loop of control & Simulation.". " "Step size determine the value of t that is introduced to the functions you use in the loop simulation while the loop simulation period controls simply to how fast you change the following t value. The sampling rate of DAQ hardware is a clock of completely separate hardware controlling the analogue-digital on the DAQ card converter so that you can get a deterministic dt between the samples being acquired.

  (3) you can change the schedule for the acquisition of data, but you will need to restart each time the changes take effect. If you change the calendar of data acquisition and want your values to correlate with your simulation, you will need to change your size of step as well.

• the relay control data acquisition

  I am creating a vi that controls (press and release) several relay using a USB 6501 data acquisition. This should be a task relativily easy but I get flumoxed by errors. I tried to use the examples, but I get an error telling me that I need to use the mode of generation 1 sample (on request). Help, please

  Sure. The easiest way is to have a DAQmx writing followed by a function of delay, followed by another entry, followed by another period. Simply plug the error links in order to control the flow of data. However, the VI would be insensitive so you can use a state machine or function elapsed time so that the VI can be stopped without waiting for waiting for him at the end.

• Need help with LabVIEW code for motor control.

  Hello

  My name is Sasi. I'm a grad student BME working on my thesis topic of assessment for back pain spine implants. To do this, I'm building a test machine that would apply pure moments of a specimen of the spinal column. I use LabVIEW 8.5 to implement the control of a brushless AC servo motor. My requirement is

  Step 1: Initialize the engine.
  Step 2: Start moving it to a uniform to the right PLAN (this value of RPM too user can enter).
  Step 3: while doing step 2; at the same time read the couple cell data (acquisition of data using Asst.). DAQ o/p is 0 v to 10 V; 0 v is 10 Nm n
  10 v is + 10 Nm
  Step 4: What torque reached + 10 Nm, i.e. 10 V, the engine stops.
  Step 5: from the position where the motor stopped (IE not need to return to the initial position) start moving in the opposite direction to the same
  Uniform rpm as in step 2 at the reading of data in the cells of the couple.
  Step 6: once more what torque reached-10 Nm, i.e. 0 V, the engine should stop.
  Step 7: Repeat "Step 2" to the "step 6' 3 times.
  Step 8: Reset engine position.

  So far, I managed to get the engine to move backward @ a desired vel, the accl, deceleration for 3 cycles before n n. I enclose my code. I have a problem inserting the code for reading DAQmx amidst all this. Can someone help me.

  Thnks,

  Sasi.

  Hi Sonia,.

  I took a quick glance to your problem and I think I have a solution for you.  I certainly agree with the suggestion of the use of parallel loops Lynn.  This will allow the portion DAQmx run uninhibited by the part of the motion, and vice versa.  In addition, you need only perform an iteration of the loop of the movement whenever the voltage level exceeds a threshold.  Thus, by performing an iteration on the code of movement in the same loop are you iterate over DAQmx code, you essentially waste processor.

  I created a VI that should do what you are wanting.  I tested it on me and it works very well.  You have a tweak a few things to apply to your system (such as motion Council DAQmx and physical channel ID, etc.).  I used two parallel loops and event programming.  Basically, the loop of movement starts the engine turns at the specified speed.  Once the engine is running, he expects the DAQmx loop to tell him that the voltage value has crossed the threshold.  When the voltage value exceeds the maximum threshold (I put a value slightly less than 10 to jitter and saturation), the DAQmx loop indicates the loop of the motion that it may end its iteration.  The motion loop stops the motion, causes a reversal and repeats the motion.  Once the movement has begun, he expects the DAQmx loop once again to tell him that a threshold was held, but this time, it's looking for a minimum threshold.  I used "Occurrences" to implement the event programming in LabVIEW.

  I've commented the code pretty thoroughly, so I hope that comments will answer all remaining questions.  The advantage of using programs that focus on the event for this is that you save time processor, and your movement is more closely synchronized with the DAQmx.  Instead of one iteration of the loop of movement as fast as you can, updates every hour, you just put in pause and wait for the other loop to tell you when to start up again.  Meanwhile, the processor doesn't have to worry about an iteration of this loop over and over again.  In addition, when the accident occurs, you catch him immediately, instead of having to wait until the next iteration.  Thus, you are more closely synchronized with the DAQmx code portion.

  I hope this will help you.  Please report if you have any questions about the code or its implementation.  Good luck!

  
  

• Is it possible to change the name of data acquisition device?

  Hi all

  Is it possible to change the name of device of data acquisition in a pragmatic way?

  I wish I had at the beginning, when I start the data acquisition control a name that my .net program assigns to the DAQ card. Is this possible?

• How can I use other companion DAQmax and data acquisition in labview code?

  Hello

  I'm new in labview and want to combine four different codes of labview and run them at the same time.

  I use my data acquisition PCI-6071E and BNC-2120. I want to send an analog output (flat DC signal) to control a blower, an analog volmetre to a (DC) output pressure transducer, also receive data from a pressure sensor and hot wire probe.

  I wrote four different VI for each of them (using DAQmax to output analog and DAQ assistant for analog inputs) and each of them works well, but when I want to use them together they do not work.

  Anyone know how to make them work together?

  Thank you

  Pooya

  To the DAQ Assistant, simply follow the instructions for the selection of multiple channels when you create (where he says quite clearly,' ' or to select multiple channels "). If already created, open the DAQ Assistant and click on "Add channels" at the top of the page.

  When you use a physical channel name, you simply click on browse instead of a single channel. Use the same or for multiple channels.

• When I send a 5v of data acquisition, the voltmeter indicates 5V, but when I connect a "normally open" valve Parker for the acquisition of data, the voltage decreases automatically a.14 V. It seems to be grounded. Why is this happening?

  We send 5v data acquisition using a voltage generator. Hook us it up to a voltmeter and see 5V. When connect us the generator voltage to a valve "normally open" parker, the voltmeter indicates .14V. It seems that when we connect the two sons of the valve for the voltage generator, the son act as pattern. We want to control the voltage flowing to tap through Labview. We checked the wires to the valve and they work very well, because if we send a constant 5V since the acquisition of data and put ashore, she, the voltmeter indicates 5V. Someone knows why the son act as pattern and low blood to .14V?

  nsatpute wrote:

  Our data acquisition is NI USB-6259. The valve requires only a 5V max and our DAQ provides up to 5V. However, after connecting the valve to the acquisition of data, the grave tension to almost 0. We start from the principle that the son somehow act as the reason, but we are not sure if this is the case.

  The question here is not how much voltage the valve wants, it's the current needs of the valve.  The 6259 can put only 5mA via an analog output.  Your very likely tap needs much more than that.  If you need to add in an amplifier circuit that can supply more current to operate your faucet.

  Could you suggest me how to acquire multichannel data from USB? To do this, how I have to program the arduino?

  The crux of your property doesn't do anything since you not write anything.

  Why you set the number of bytes to read at 8? You send more than that. You should be able to set it to a high number, such as 1000. Why do you use a dbl for this control?

• How to change the accuracy of output waveform and spreadsheet graph data acquisition

What is the elegant way to do this?

  Hello sunflower.

  This seems related to this question...

  Why do you want to change the output of the DAQ assistant?

  Should not change the precision of the creation of the worksheet? To do, simply give a few parameters for the functions "to the string conversion..."

  Outside the file save all the other screen precision parameters are just cosmetic measures!

• Problem of reliability data acquisition PXI-4071

  Hello

  I'm having a problem of reliability using my 4071 Pxi digitizer mode.

  I have a number of tests that use the SMU-6363 (usually configured for DC) analog output to provide a stimulus for our own device, which has a number of a/d converters.  We use the PXI system for calibration and testing.

  1. I select a voltage ranging from tensions.

  2. program the PXI-6363 to drive this tension

  3 TIME about 10ms to settle.  Note there no discrete capacitors or resistors in the circuit.  Everything is parasitic and would generally be under the nF mark and less than 10 ohms

  3. configure and Initiate() acquisition of data with the PXI-4071.  In general, I use a sample rate of 1000 s/s and get about 30 samples (worth 30 ms).  Activation is immediate and I used the default a queue time, 0, set the time and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

  4. measure the voltage with the CDA.  For debugging purposes I have sometimes made twice once before calling Initiate() and once after.  The after is normal.  The time required to measure the ADC is shorter than the acquisition time, but regardless of stimulation by the SMU-6363 is constant

  5. extract the waveform.

  6. the average waveform and compare the value of ADC measured by applying tolerances etc.

  Here's the problem: it works well most of the time.  But only 0.1% of the time (1 on an acquisition of 1000), I get 8-12 samples that are close to 0.   It sounds like a problem of time settling (on the surface), but no matter the amount of wait time data, I always get this behavior.  Not only that, but the tension before the call to Initiate() in height CDA, it always confirms that the motor voltage is already set to the programmed value.  Nevertheless the acquisition presents near data 0.

  So far our independent ADC always reports the expected before and during acquisition (100%) voltage.   It's like the DMM input is disconnected during the acquisition during a period of time, because we have confirmed that the voltage is already present prior to the acquisition (component can).   I have no errors the insider or FetchWaveForm calls.  I still have all my samples.  And 99.9% of the time that everything works as expected.

  The DMM and ADC are connected to the same point and both are referenced to ground, and as I said before only the parasitic capacitance and resistance (cable).  We use a matrix of switching (PXI-2530 (b) to make these connections.  We almost always use 51/2 digits and 10V range for data acquisition.

  Hello

  I thought about it and was going to repost but am distracted.

  The device with the ADC also has a mux and switches the mux to an internal node.   It only switches when measuring and is open at other times.   There is a race condition where the acquisition starts too early and maintains the acquisition after that the switch is open.   Unfortunately I don't have the option to trigger.

  I forgot the internal mux that I had designed the test years ago and I did some updates to improve the stability of the test.    That's why we start the ADC measurement when acquiring.

  I just added a routine to reject samples below a threshold

• Card FPGA and data acquisition synchronization

  Hi, we are control and data acquisition of several hardware devices (including Photodetectors and translational stages). Until last week, we used all the controls and acquisition using a PCIe-7852R FPGA board. However, we decided to move the acquisition part to a PCIe 6363 DAQ card to improve the sharpness of the tension. During the test, I found that the internal clocks in the FPGA and the DAQ cards are slightly inconsistent (not just a phase delay, but a difference in the period).

  I know because I have generated a square wave (period = 20) using the FPGA and gains using the data acquisition card (at a rate of 200 kHz, that is, 1 taste every 5). I have observed acquired place shifts 5 every 5 seconds approximately. Such a change does not occur if the production and acquisition is done using the same Board. Therefore, the only explanation is that the data acquisition and FPGA cards clock frequencies are different. According to my calculations, the percentage difference between their time clock must be 5/5 s = 0.0001%.

  Therefore, I wonder if there is anyway to synchronize clocks between them. Or, is it possible that I can drive the FPGA clock-based DAQ hardware, or vice versa? Also, please let me know if there is something trivial as I fix.

  Thank you very much.

  Kind regards

  Varun

  Hi Varun,

  my post was only one solution...

  Your data acquisition card may take an entry to control sampling of trigger. In this mode, samples draw on a rising edge of the external clock signal. As long as you stay within the limits of the DAQ (100 MHz for your card) material sampling works perfectly. There are even examples coming with LabVIEW explaining how to program your data acquisition card...

  This mode use you your FPGA as clock source sampling for data acquisition. Both will run on the FPGA clock in sync. When the FPGA is a bit out of 40 MHz, so it won't matter because both devices are triggered on the same clock signal...
