NI CompactDAQ 91xx Starting out

[WD_pentair]

Greetings, 

I have been tasked with developing applications for a cDAQ-9132 with Labview 2019. I have little to no labview experience and I am still trying to convince IT to put the controller on the network. Is there any sort of tutorial that aims at building an executable for the cDAQ-9132 on a host computer and transferring it to the controller via flash drive? I don't know where to start in this situation. 

Thank you

Bill

You can simulate the cDAQ in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). Right click "Devices and Interfaces" and select create new. You can then use the simulated device in LabVIEW as you would a real device.

Can you connect e.g. a laptop to the cDAQ just for deployment?

It's certainly possible to develop without a connection (you can add a device, set its IP address etc in a project without it being connected) but deployment will be tricky.

It doesn't need to be permanently networked (unless of course the application depends on the network) or have internet access - directly wiring an offline laptop to the cDAQ will be sufficient to simplify deployment (and might or might not be acceptable to your IT department).

Greetings,

I'm very new to labivew and I have a cDAQ-9132 processor. I am looking for a base project to program it offline, create the executable and run it on the system. I cannot however, find an example project. Can someone steer me to where I may be able to find such a thing? Thank you

Greetings,

I have been trying to get started working with a CompactDAQ 9132 Box to starting taking measurements. This is a real time controller and I have been reading up on the DAQmx driver but I cannot figure out how to create a blank project for the CompactDAQ9132 or 91XX controller. I've searched Youtube and found nothing I can follow along with because I have different hardware. Can someone point me to a place where I can figure out how to start creating a project configured for that particular device? Something as simple as blinking an LED. 

Thank you

Did you install the DAQmx drivers?

Go to Help >> Find Examples and there dozens to hundreds of different DAQmx example programs there.

Hello,

I think this page may be usefull: Using CompactRIO with the NI-DAQmx API

To be short :

• Under MAX, configure you C series modules to Real-Time (DAQmx)
• Then create a LabVIEW project, add your cRIOtarget (right-clic on project root, New » Target and Devices...)
• The auto-discover of modules should do the job then
• Create your code that will use your DAQmx ressources under your target (in project hierarchy), and run it.

Best regards,

We have a Compact DAQ 9132 with three cards: NI-9205, NI-9861, NI-9403. Is there a way to create a VI that allows me access to these cards that I can create, compile into an executable and then load onto the CDAQ 9132. I am unable to connect to the CDAQ9132 at the moment because IT cannot put it on the network yet and may not be able to for some time. Every tutorial I look at has the device connected to the computer that allows Labview to "Find" the cards and the device connected to it. I cannot find anything. 

Thank you

Thanks for the reply. As far as I know ethernet is the only available connection. Can we do USB? IT wants to put some security software on it first and they are squabbling over it. Is there a way to do all that programming offline if I know the CDAQ type and cards?

Thanks

Can you tell me where "Devices and Interfaces" is? Thank you
