DAQ synchronisation

[TUDarmstadtLLX]

Hallo,

I have four sensors, two encoders, a torque sensor and a kraft sensor. How can I use the clock of the DAQ itsself to synchronize the measurement signal? I want to get the signal every 1 milisecond

Maybe if you specified the DAQ hardware you use, people could help you 🙂

edit: What is "kraft sensor"? You mean a sensor measuring force?

Hello Blokk,

Thank your for your reply.

My measuring card is 6212.

Yes, it is a sensor, which measures the force.

So you want to sample 4 signals. I have no idea what kind of sensor outputs you need to deal with. What is the model of the encoders? Do you need to use a counter, or you need to measure analogue signal? You should specify all your sensor models and read their manual how to use them. For example, I imagine you need to use the counter input of your DAQ device to measure the two encoders, and two analogue inputs to measure the torque and the force signals. You need to learn about DAQmx. There are lots of examples, but as I mentioned you need to understand first how to use these senors...

If you are a beginner in LabVIEW, you should first go through some training, like the Core 1 online course.

Hello,

Thank you for your advice. I am not beginner with LabVIEW. But I do not have much knowledge with DAQ and sensor itsself.

Hello TUDarmstadtLLX,

that's the synchronisation part for signal conditioning it could be that you need some external hardware or circuits, because the card can measure +-10V.

Thanks for your reply. Can you save your vi with the vision lower than 14. I have installed the LabVIEW 2014. I will also post what I have programmed here. The program for the encoder works.

Best regard.
