• Graph of the Excel data with overlay of dynamic data acquisition

  Hi all

  I was next to the forum of Labview for about a year, it's the same with my programming so I'm a little rusty. I don't have someone code this for me, but just a quick plan high level to point me in the right direction.  I am able to work through the tutorials Excel etc.

  Task 1: Basically, I have a set of data Excel (2 to 6 columns of figures, not the time) I want to read in Labview and throw in a XY graph as the base model that remains visible all the time.  This data set is quite long, length vs. size (length is 100km, 1 m intervals). I essentially want a scroll X graph to display all of the data.

  Task 2: Acquire a direct serial data string which will be superimposed on the graph of task 1 model. Acquired essentially data comparing data in real time to previously.

  In the past, I made the simple projects with Excel data reading and also the reading of data in series.  What I'm not clear on is how to create the (static) graph with Excel data model while superimposing live data as it comes.  It is the basis of an annual check of the investigation process.

  Advice on the process would be appreciated so I'll be working through the nuts and bolts.

  Cheers for any help,
  Wes

  If you are worried that your data sets is too large, then run a test with simulated data to see how LV takes it. You might be surprised. In all cases, you should be aware that the chart control will need to redraw it with any changes you do anyway, and as far as I know, having a large amount of data is the main thing that can make a slow chart control. If you find that you have too much data, you might need to decimate it you based on how much you zoom before putting it in the graph.

• LeCroy Waverunner 640Zi - Data Acquisition

  Hello... I'm trying to set up my oscilloscope waverunner with LabVIEW SignalExpress for data acquisition.

  I took the steps so far:

  1 pulse generator hooked to scope of signal generation

  2 USB scope to the installed computer with LabView

  3 downloaded lecroyscope driver 3.2.9 - x 64

  I turn on the scope and plug in the USB to the computer and SignalExpress begins.

  a. start by using data acquisition

  b. Add step/aquire signal / IVI aquire / IVI brought aquire

  c. create new IVI session... resources descriptor (I choose my USB device ' USB0::0x05FF:0 x 1023: 2812N61507:INSTR '), I select the right driver (lcscope), and I do not click enable simulation data, press ok
  d. I still receive configuration errors

  e. did the research... some forum said goto MAX, find drivers and uncheck the Cache and the exchange of check

  f. attempt to initialize... always get config errors.

  g. return to MAX... change to simulate with specific driver.

  h. initialization works... NO errors, BUT no data are acquired.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  Sorry to jump in if I was out of the country for a while and am still catching things in my office.

  I think you are looking for someone to say yes, "you can connect to the scope with NOR-MAX and VISA, and here's how interactive tool do"

  A few things:

  LabVIEW for XStream extended driver is the right one.  It works with all the TeledyneLeCroy Windows based scopes.

  As I see has already been noted. (I'll give Kudos soon), the scope of application must be configured to use interface USBTMC.  To do this, go to the drop down Utitlites on the scope menu and select "utilities configuration... '. "in the tabs that appear at the bottom of the screen, select the 'Remote' tab and make sure that the interface type is set to USBTMC.  This will also show you the VISA resource (I see it in the title of the image of VISA interactive tool indicated in a previous post).

  Once this field is selected, the PC should detect the USB connection and install the device. (you can see in your device manager as a Test of USB and the measurement device):

  

  Once this is done, you can then enter the NOT-MAX and it will detect and display resources.  You can now communicate with the device:

  

  If you have problems, do not hesitate to give me a call and I'm happy to walk through it over the phone.

• Sensor with Signal conditioner for the acquisition of data NI 6009 force

  Hello

  I currently lead a unique test by using a pendulum. Currently, there is a rotary potentiometer measures the rotation of the shaft and a force sensor to measure the impact. The Rotary potentiometer and data acquisition work like a charm in SignalExpress but I currently have problems with the force sensor.

  The installation program:

  Sensor Signal conditioner box-->--> DAQ (analog input 1 & corresponding to the ground) by force.

  In Signal Express, when I "Add Step" process - should I choose "Acquire signals--> DAQmx Acquire--> analog input--> [voltage? The force? Custom?]

  Thank you 1 million,

  Hi a_wishart,

  I don't think that the evaluation of Signal Express version is the reason for which you get this error, see the related document, there are several possible causes of this error.

• DAQmx data acquisition with persistent error of nyquist

  Hi, I created a multi channel data acquisition vi (accelerometer 2 and 1 sound pressure) using models for producer.   The vi is attached. Thanks to labview 2011.  I get the error of nyquist (2 enclosed) when you make a bandpass filter between 50 to 5000Hz.  This happens despite having put my sampling rate to 22050Hz.  When I checked the output of wave I noticed that the signal has a dt 1 s.  The text output to check the result.  I could not understand how this is so since I had set the sample rate to 22 k Hz.  Any help will be much appreciated.  Thank you.

  I would do something like that.  You must calculate the dt of the set (with the recipricol) sampling frequency and use to initialize the shift registers.  This way you only need to change 1 constant if you need to change your sample rate.

  

• do you need a power supply to the current entry with data acquisition or 9265

  Hello I just receive the NI 9265 Daq for research in my lab. I'm trying to present entry and display it on an oscilloscope. I don't get anything. I did some research on the internet, so my question is do you need a power supply to the current entry with data acquisition or 9265?

  Read the data sheet.  Clearly on the first page is a sentence which reads "the NI 9265 requires 9 V to 36 V external power.

• Sample clock dependence with small signals data acquisition

  Hi all

  I use a NOR-9205 on a NOR-cDAQ-9184 and noticing some interesting dependencies of waveform on my sampling rate selected. It seems that small changes in the sample clock frequency have a significant impact on the measured waveform.

  Quick background, I am in a position a signal with a ripple of mV ~ 10 with V 1.6 bias. I'm not interested in DC, only the AC signal but the NOR-9205 has only DC coupling. The application is a circuit where I expect simulations noise past the circuit must be greater than the higher noise frequencies. In the waveforms attached the background plot is the applied signal, and the top graph is the signal arising after that the signal was mostly annihilated. The two waveforms are measured with the NOR-9205.

  I am aware that this measure is less than the precision of the NOR-9205, which has a maximum precision of ~ 3 mV in his +/-5V range. However, if I can't at least on the basis of shape which is good enough for me. I'm also now pretty curious that data acquisition is actually to create this

  My best idea, is that it is a product of internal multiplexing of the 9205 with the DAC.

  The first plot shows the waveform at 20 000 Hz, which is what I expected:

  

  The second shows the waveform at 20 001 Hz, which seems to be modulated with a backup sawtooth:

  

  The waveform looks as expected for 20 000, 20003, 20004, 20005, 20008, 20009, 20010 and Hz 20011. The waveform looks like modulated to 20001, 20002, 20006 and Hz 20007.

  Ideally, I would like to understand this problem so that I can configure the measure in a stable way that I can count on the basic shape of the wave. Has anyone seen something similar?

  
  

• Measurement of low-cost input analog (4-20mA) with data acquisition

  Hello

  I would like to have a very low cost measurement system loop which I can plug in my laptop current:

  I have a load, which is connected to a circuit of air conditioning/signal booster, which output a 4-20mA. I want to measure this current loop signal.

  An idea for the lowest cost system? I think that the most NOR DAQ are too expensive and too exaggerated.

  I have LabVIEW.

  Use of remote sensing current low-value resistance, then measure the fall of voltage through it with the help of an acquisition of data 6008/6009?  They have about $150.

  You will probably need to amplify current-sense with a MAX4372 or similar resistance to achieve a result that allows you to use a reasonable scale on data acquisition.  I measure the current through our products in almost all of our equipment to test in this way.  The size of the resistance of meaning as a result.  The 6008 is accurate enough, but it is not the fastest nor well presented.  But starting at $ 150, they are hard to beat.

• 2 channels of AI on a data acquisition with the range of different sensitivity

  This vi is based on the 'new project' state machine on the home screen at the start of LV.

  A time loop is parallel to the main loop of the state machine, shown in the picture.

  It works continuously until you press the Exit button.

  The problem seems to be in start this... > read >... stop start > read >... stop along the error line.

  The reason for this clumsy arrangement power is measured voltages are in two lines of different sensitivity.

  The shunt voltage is small and needs-. 2 to the range of V.2. The load voltage is greater and 09:50 V range is good.

  In the initializing state, two separate vi 'create a channel' have been used to specify the range of voltage to the physical channel. The corresponding tasks are sent via via local variables.

  DAQmx errors happen randomly, sometimes the first iteration, sometimes the 50th.

  I tried to disable one or the other start > read > stop for the shunt voltage or load.

  I tried replacing them with the DAQ assistant.

  I tried various DAQmx vi: "wait" and "accomplishment of the tasks by resource cancel selected".

  But error-50103 "specify resource is reserved" keeps popping up.

  Is it possible to create two tasks on the device even when they are not used at the same time?

  The only reason is to measure in two voltage ranges.

  Data acquisition equipment: USB-6210

  Thank you.

  This has been discussed many times. Do NOT use separate tasks. You can use different ranges for different channels with a single task. Just wire the task from one channel to another channel to create task.

  You also use local variables when they are certainly not needed.

• Real-time display at the high frequency of data acquisition with continuous recording

  Hi all

  I encountered a problem and you need help.

  I collect tensions and corresponding currents via a card PCI-6221. While acquiriing data, I would like to see the values on a XY graph, so that I can also check current vs only voltage/current / time. In addition, data should be recorded on the acquisition.

  First, I create hannels to analog input with the Virutal DAQmx channel create, then I set the sampling frequency and the mode and begin the tasks. The DAQmx.Read is placed in a while loop. Because of the high noise to signal, I want to average for example every 200 points of the current and acquired for this draw versus the average acquisition time or average voltage. The recording of the data should also appear in the while loop.

  The first thing, I thought, was to run in continuous Mode data acquisition and utilization for example 10 k s/s sampling frequency. The DAQmx.Read is set to 1 D Wfm N Chan N Samp (there are 4 channels in total) and the number of samples per channel for example is 1000 to avoid the errors/subscribe for more of the buffer. Each of these packages of 1000 samples should be separatet (I use Index Array at the moment). After gaining separate waveforms out of table 1 d of waveforms, I extracted the value of Y to get items of waveform. The error that results must then be treated to get average values.

  But how to get these averages without delaying my code?

  My idea/concern is this: I've read 1000 samples after about 0.1 s. These then are divded into single waveforms, time information are subtracted, a sort of loop to sprawl is used (I don't know how this exactly), the data are transferred to a XY Chart and saved to a .dat file. After all that's happened (I hope I understood correctly the flow of data within a while loop), the code in the while loop again then 1000 samples read and are processed.

  But if the treatment was too long the DAQmx.Read runs too late and cycle to cycle, reading buffer behind the generation of data on the card PCI-6221.

  This concern is reasonable? And how can I get around this? Does anyone know a way to average and save the data?

  I mean, the first thing that I would consider increasing the number of samples per channel, but this also increases the duration of the data processing.

  The other question is on the calendar. If I understand correctly, the timestamp is generated once when the task starts (with the DAQmxStartTask) and the time difference betweeen the datapoints is then computed by 1 divded by the sampling frequency. However, if the treatment takes considerable time, how can I make sure, that this error does not accumulate?

  I'm sorry for the long plain text!

  You can find my attached example-vi(only to show roughly what I was thinking, I know there are two averaging-functions and the rate are not correctly set now).

  Best wishes and thank you in advance,

  MR. KSE

  PS: I should add: imagine the acquisition of data running on a really old and slow PC, for example a Pentium III.

  PPS: I do not know why, but I can't reach my vi...

  
  

• Data acquisition reading incorrect when you use a loop

  Hello

  I wrote a simple VI (00, 01, 10, and 11) output to a circuit connected with 4 resistors. Based on what value the ciruit receives, it passes current through a particular resistance. It is again entered in Labview and traced.

  The problem is when I send a particular value (i.e the 00, 01 and 10 and 11) and get that back, it's okay. But when I send and receive the consectively connected via the loop counter, they are incorrect (not synchronized with the number of the loop).

  I made sure that circuit works very well. It has something to do with the loop synnchronization, reset, value compensation, etc. can be.

  Please Guide...

  Change your DAQ assistant that reads to be 1 sample on request.

  Right now it is set for continuous samples.  And 10 samples at 10 Hz.  Then it runs and starts.  The next iteration, you send a new digital out, but the wait for 4 seconds.  When you read again, you get the next 10 samples that are put into the buffer of data acquisition, but now 40 samples have actually entered the DAQ buffer.  In time your DAQ buffer will be finally complete and raise an error.  In the meantime, you will continually read data continues to become more tainted by the iteration.

• 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.

• data acquisition won't taste at the specified rate

  Material: C - DAQ 9178, AI 9239, inside a servo and an encoder potentiometer module

  Setup: I use the 9239 to measure the angular position of my servo and encoder of trees by streaming came pressure pot of the servo and my encoder. I put the sampling frequency on the DAQmx - Schedule VI to 100 Hz.

  Problem: I don't think that my DAQ is sampling data at 100 Hz because my VI registers more than 10 000 data points for a 10 second test. In addition, every time I have save my data in a text file, the vector of time my test data resets after a number of iterations.

  To debug, I tried the following configuration:

  I've defined the sampling frequency of 100 Hz (or is that s/s?), the samples per channel (size of buffer for continuous mode) at 2000 samples, number of samples per channel up to 10 and loop milliseconds timer on my VI at 10 m accordingly, data acquisition would send 100 samples per second (or 1 sample every 10 ms) on my PC buffer (which could store 20 X that amount). Then LabVIEW would read up to 10 samples per loop iteration (which is itself ~ 100 Hz) and work with these 10 samples inside the loop. However, since the loop is operating close to the sampling frequency of data acquisition, then LV should only work with 1 sample each iteration of the loop (100 Hz / 100 Hz)-not the 10-sample-max that I specified.

  However, I stumbled on "error-200279: the application is not able to cope with the acquisition of material" when I ran the program. Why?

  My code and materials should be easily able to cope with data acquisition - at least the way I put it in place

  This whole situation wondered my fundamental understanding of data acquisition timing, so I would really appreciate an explanation of exactly how to deliver DAQmx uses data synchronization, why my DAQ sample at 100 Hz, and how can I fix the calendar specified by the user.

  Thank you!

  The C - DAQ 9178 there some minimum sampling rate I will not meet?

  It's actually the 9239 that limit your sampling rate.  Read the data sheeton page 5 there's available data rates.  In short, your data rate allowed is 50kS/s / n, where is goes from 1 to 31.  50 k/31 gives you 1.6kS / s.  So, it's the minimum sampling frequency that can be used.
