Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite with PC Sound card?

[dpm5109]

Hi all,

I'm new to LabVIEW, so please bear with me.

I would like to take some basic network measurements of a single channel hardware audio device. I have a PCI sound card which I was able to play sound files and receive input with using the sound2 Simultaneous_Sound_IO.vi. I'm wondering if it's possible and how difficult it would be to integrate this VI with the VIs associated with the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite? I've downloaded the trial version of the Measurement Suite and it appears to include all of the measurements I need (frequency response, THD, dynamic range), however they're all designed to work with NI DAQ hardware.

If it is possible, could someone point me in the right direction as far as integrating the two, or even post or direct me towards existing VIs if there are any?

Thanks so much

Which S&V vi's do you mean to be dedicated to NI hardware?

A quick peek into the addon show me waveforms as input and the sound vis have a waveform output.

OK I didn't look at the examples and by habbit ignore the express vis 😉 .   But maybe you just want to use a program instead of programming your application?

Hello, dpm5109!

First, are you using a 3rd-party PCI card, or is it a National Insruments card?

Second, you should have no problem integrating NI Sound and Vibration functions into another piece of LabVIEW code - they are all LabVIEW functions, some just more specialized. While I did not see any pre-built examples, you can use whichever functions you need in conjunction with the Simultaneous Sound IO.vi you've already found.

Let us know what questions you have on going about this.
