lock-in amplifier, low sample rate options

Hello!

 

I would like to implement a lock-in amplifier in labview (version 8.5).  I understand that there is a developer kit for the LIA available, and have checked it out; however, it is incompatible with my equipment.

 

I have a usb 1608fs card that I am using for for digital to analog conversion, which has a max sample rate of 16000 hz for two channels (signal and reference).  The signal I am trying to lock in on is between 5 and 10 hz.  The main contribution to the noise is 60Hz noise from the air, which shouldn't be a problem.

 

However, the lock-in amplifier by labview refuses to work at under 50KHz sample rate, so I am at an impasse.  I could put one together myself, but I wanted to see if there were any options available to me; no point in reinventing the wheel.

 

Regards,

MB

Here it says the minimum rate is 50kHz. Sorry, but ther is no option to change that.

 

Also look at Lock-In Amplifier Startup Toolkit Compatibility with National Instruments Hardware.

Btw, there is no USB 1608fs card from NI.
