Hello,
I am trying to use Flexlogger as a simple data acquisition device for the following scenario:
- 1 laptop running Flexlogger and our proprietary software.
- signal sent via CAN from laptop to controller (proprietary controller on CAN bus)
- measuring current output from controller into flexlogger via analog input with current shunt
- current feedback being sent back to controller via CAN (for controller current servo closed loop control)
Our goal is to have time-synchronous data with these 3 signals such that we can see command and feedback on CAN, along with a ~10kHz sampling of our analog PWM. There are also a number of additional CAN signals and a few more analog signals.
The problem I am seeing is that the aforementioned CAN signals are out of sync with the analog signal by varying amounts ranging ~ +/- 300ms. I cant get a bead on any factor on my end that has influence over this - it seems random.
Hardware used is listed below:
cDAQ 9174 - chassis
NI 9215 - used for high frequency analog inputs
NI 9860 + TRC 8542 - CAN card + transceiver cable for CAN inputs
Picture illustration of the problem is attached. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
