I'm not getting very far with establishing good data transfer from an NI 6211 and don't seem to be able to pin point the issue or get confidence from DasyLab V10 to be able to look for the problem in another area.
The NI6211 is set for period measurement and automatically uses a low frequency counter with sample on demand. The measurement range is set for 200ms to 1ms
The Dasylab Counter Input task displays the sample on demand and block size of "1".
I have also selected "10" as an output after timeout of 5seconds.
I have set the module to use the Dasylab timebase and have configured all 3 timebases for 1000Hz and (tried higher and lower values) and set block sizes to 1.
Whenever I change the timebase setting I always carry out a synchronise with MAX.
I have been writing to a file using time deducted from data.
With these settings I have the value "10" generated and stored in the file.
When it says "Output after timeout (s) of:", does this mean that their has been no communication for 5seconds even though I can get time stamp information indicating only a few milliseconds have passed?
Does time deducted information mean time deduced information (ie. time stamp from the data)
Is there anything I need to do with A/D window? I have changed the sampling rate in there but it only appears to change the driver setting.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Mark..
