anyone done capture with 5112 then write same out to 5411 directly in Labview 6i

[Chris Ewers]

Want to capture a trace (current via sense resistor to PCI 5112)store it and then download to an arbitrary waveform generator(PCI 5411)Idea to mimic input when needed and repeat lots of times.

Dear Chris,

Thanks for using the National Instruments Developer Exchange.

Yes this is possible, but you will need first to acquire the waveform and then configure the function generator (NI-5411) to download the waveform you just acquired to the memory of the ARB and then play it continuously.

You will have plenty of shipping examples available when you install the driver NI-SCOPE in your computer, look in the subpallete NI-SCOPE in LabVIEW.
Once you have learned how to acquire waveforms with the Scope you will be able to download this waveform the ARB and play it.
I also recommend you to look the examples, especifically the example called: "niFgen Arbitrary Waveform Example.vi" that will clarify to you the process of downloading a waveform to the Device and
play it.

If you have more questions I recommend you to send an e-mail directly to our technical support by going to the web page: http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niae_asc.main
and selecting E-mail NI Engineers.

Best Regards.

Thanks for the reply. I shall be installing the cards early next week and will be in touch.

Chris,

Here is an example of exactly what you are looking for available on our website.

The example will acquire a signal with the 5112 store the waveform to disk and replay the waveform on the 5411.

Thanks very much for the solution, Aquick look says it is exactly what I wanted. I shall be running the system shortly, within the next two weeks, so I'll post my results/problems.
Best regards
