Configuring Resolver in MAX

tomp93 — Thu, 29 Dec 2016 13:52:42 GMT

I am new to labview and MAX. I am currently doing upgradation work of labview from version 7 to 15. I want to create a virtual channel in MAX 15.0 for resolver. I tried the same way how they created earlier in MAX 3.0 for labview 7 using the same values. But some parameters are missing in MAX 15 for configuring that channel. Attached the Screenshots

There is a HUGE difference going from LabVIEW 7 to LabVIEW 2015 -- DAQmx, which is so much easier to use than Traditional DAQ that you should consider not even looking at your LabVIEW 7 code (except to know what you want to do, what channels you need, what sampling rate, etc.). I made the mistake of trying to "understand" the (really hairy) logic of some LabVIEW 7 A/D conversion code -- when I just said "Oh, forget it, let's see how to do this with DAQmx" (and found out how easy it was, how much nicer the functions are, how much easier to use, how well they work with MAX and LabVIEW Project), the code almost wrote itself.

So How I have to do ? How I have to configure channel for resolver in MAX? Could you please help me.

Hi tomp,

from your MAX3 image I would say:

- create a virtual channel set for voltage measurement with a range of ±5V

- apply a custom scale to scale the ±5V voltage range to ±180° range…

Spend some time with Getting Started with NI-DAQmx Tutorials. You will learn a lot.

Hi GerdW,

In traditional DAQ, there is option for configuring channel also as in the screenshot below.

Yes and DAQmx has a similar setup screen for virtual channels and tasks. I'm a little unfamiliar with LVDTs so I don't know if there are other settings I'm forgetting but this is with a simulated 1540.
