6624

Hi All
    I have an application that need to make use of a lot of counters, we chose 3 PCI-6624
    and need some guru advices.
   
From these boards we need to acquire: 1 angular position and 20 linear positions from encoders.
The angular position should be acquired with the minimum resolution of 5 degrees.
Every 5 degrees we need to acquire all the linear positions and, of course, the measure must be synchronized.
I believe a buffered acquisition can be used to accomplish the task.
Is it possibile acquire a buffered synchronized measurement of these three boards?
Can I use the internal clock to trigger the acquisitions?
I am desperately looking for examples for c++, c# (we use Measurement Studio).

Can someone kindly tell me some examples on how to implement these activities

Many thanks!
Have a nyce day

Hello Roberto,

 

Please refer to the following post, it could be useful for your application:

 

PCI 6602 : synchronization of multi-cards and multi-counters

 

Moreover it could take a look the this knowledge base if you want to learn more about using the Measurement Studio ActiveX controls in Visual Basic to perform counter operations.

 

Counter Operations with Measurement Studio DAQ ActiveX Controls

 

I hope it could helps!

Let me know if you need additional support.

 

Have a great day!!!

Hello Matteo,

 

I'm sorry but I'm not able to open VI so your first reference isn't useful for me.

I'm using Measurement Studio vith C# (c++ is also well known).

 

The second link could be studied, do you have any aother useful link?

 

Thanks!

Hello,

 

Hi figured that you won't be able to run the example attached in the page i suggested. Anyway i looked in the meantime for additional links, take a look to this one, it sounds very interesting:
