Interfacing of Ultrasonic Probe to Labview

[QuestionsNanswers]

Is it possible to interface a Sonicating Probe (Part ID 630-0219 Bought from Sonics & Materials Inc) to Labview? I believe this should be possible with the help of some external hardware. Any idea what has to be used? Is it possible to use 5 of those probes simultaneously and control it via Labview?

Rear Panel:

9 pin D-sub connector: Connects to external actuation device, and enable power and frequency
monitoring.
Footswitch jack: Connects to the footswitch cable.
Coax connector: Connects to the converter.
Power module: Connects to the electrical line cord and encases the fuse(s).

9-PIN D-SUB CONNECTOR
Pin No. Description
1 Not connected
2 Not connected
3 Not connected
4 Enables connection to a frequency counter.
5 Enables connection to an external power monitor (see below)*
6 Ground
7 Energizes the ultrasonics when connected to ground.
8 and 9
Enables the intensity to be remotely adjusted using an external 10k
potentiometer.

This is the information i have from Sonics. Thank you!

If you go to the website you can pull off a spec sheet that allows you to put together a part number for the order. You can use this to get all of your information from the part number. It should tell you the model 121-N-A-5-01-S-0256-Q-OC-1-S-N.

121 is the model number

N is the communication (4 pole, 6 pole, 8 pole, 12 pole)

A Hosing mounting style

5 is 5 vdc or 12 vdc power input

01 is bore size

S is the operating temp

0256 is the cycles per revolution (important)

Q number of channels for quadrature (important)

OC is Open collector or Push Pull or Line Driver (important)

1 is max frequency could be important if you are rotating fast.

Get this information and you will have every thing that you need to start your project.

Are you connecting this to a display of some kind or going directly into the break out board?
