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.
