LABVIEW DAQMX DRIVER

When a task is not specified, the function creates a task. These instances correspond to the specific type of measurement or generation the virtual channel s perform. Handshaking uses an exchange of request and acknowledge timing signals with an external device to transfer each sample. It is intended for both the beginner who wants to learn how to use the DAQ Assistant, as well as the experienced user who wishes to take advantage of advanced NI-DAQmx functionality. When using the NI-DAQmx Trigger function, all valid trigger signals are available as the source input to the function. The sample clock controls the rate at which samples are acquired or generated. This programming pattern is similar to the pattern used throughout the.

Many data acquisition applications require synchronization of labvifw functional areas of a single device e. Digital output channels— DOChannel class.

Finally, the active edge of the sample clock is set. Additionally, analog input, analog output, and counter operations use minimum value and maximum value inputs to configure and optimize the measurements and generations based on the minimum and maximum expected values of the signals.

Reduce Development Time and Improve Performance Since the release of NI-DAQmx, users of National Instruments data acquisition DAQ hardware have been taking full advantage of its many features designed to both save development time and improve the performance of their data acquisition applications.

The snippet above configures the device to look on PFI 0 for a rising digital edge trigger.

The following code snippet creates a continuous acquisition based on an external sample clock connected to PFI 0 on the device. You cannot instantiate an lahview of the DaqStream class directly. To create a channel, you can use one of the many create channel methods on the channel collections. It is intended for both the beginner who wants to learn how to use the DAQ Assistant, as well as the experienced user who wishes to take advantage labvoew advanced NI-DAQmx functionality.

Below is a snippet of how to use the two functions:. For example, in the following NI-DAQmx Trigger VI, the start trigger signal for Device 2 is available as the source of the start trigger for Device 1 without any explicit routing being performed.

Specifying a number of samples per channel of -1 for a continuous acquisition results in the function reading all of the samples that are currently available in the buffer when the function executes. Otherwise, the task performance will be reduced because it will be repeatedly started and stopped. Analog input channels— AIChannel class. This tool helps you create your applications without programming through a graphical interface for configuring both simple and complex data acquisition tasks.

To start a task use the Start function in the Task object.

Both of these triggers can be configured to occur on a digital edge, an analog edge, or when an analog signal enters or leaves a window. This function should be used to ensure that the lavview acquisition or generation is complete before the task is stopped.

These classes contain properties that are specific to a particular type of channel. However, certain inputs are common to most, if not all, of the function's instances. An NI-DAQmx task is a collection of virtual channels, timing and triggering information, and other properties regarding the acquisition or generation. This site uses cookies to offer you a better browsing experience.

Based on the parameters sent to the ConfigureDigitalEdgeTrigger function the device will look to in an internal or external line for a rising or falling digital edge before it begins to acquire data.

The following LabVIEW block diagram demonstrates a situation where the NI-DAQmx Start function does not need to be used because the analog output generation only consists of a single, software-timed sample. One of the ways NI-DAQmx saves development time is by providing an API that requires only a small number of functions to expose the majority of its functionality. Then call a method on the reader class to read the data, as shown in the following snippet:.

NI-DAQmx Software

A code snippet for writing samples of analog data follows. A reference trigger establishes the location in a set of acquired samples where pretrigger data ends and posttrigger data begins.

NI recommends the Typical Installation to ensure that all dependent software is installed. Below is a snippet that shows how to use the function for a digital start trigger coming in on PFI0 and looking for a rising edge on that line. To set the source of the sample clock, the rate of the sample clock, and the number of samples to acquire or generate use the Channel. Additionally, the timeout input allows a maximum wait time to be specified.
