Cannot read from NI 9233

[Rob_F]

Hi to everyone!

I'm using a NI 9233 on the CRIO to read data from a triaxial accelerometer but as the program run I can't read anything at all, not even some noise!

On the same CRIO other C series modules are installed and I have no problem with those. 

Is there anyone that could tell me what could be wrong?or suggest me some procedure to check the connection between the 9233 and the FPGA? or some procedure to check if the accelerometer is powered?

Thanks to everyone!

Rob,

Have you look at some of the 9233 specific examples in LabVIEW that are installed with CompactRIO?

..\LabVIEW 8.0\examples\CompactRIO\Module Specific\NI 9233\NI 9233 Getting Started

This example shows you how to configure the 9233 for acquisition. The 9233 is a bit different from most of the other modules and you have to explicitly configure the scan rate and start the acquisition on the module before you can read any data from it.

You configure the scan rate of the module using the I/O property node for your selected 9233 module. To start the acquisition you need to write to the Start line (like a DIO signal) of the 9233 module. The Start line needs to be configured in the LabVIEW project along with the analog input signals of the 9233 module.

Thank you Christian,

     I did not find the example earlier. In fact the start command was missing.

Bye,

I am trying to install NI-DAQ for NI 9233 but it does not work. I have labview 8.0 and windows Vista. Labview 8 works good until now in this windows, so the problem is with windows, with labview?. I can not install the software NI-DAQ 8.5 or 8.6 because  appear this message:

Unsupported version of National Instruments system component detected

Unsupported version of NI-VISA detected

Unsupported version of NI PXI Platform Services detected

Unsupported version of NI-DAQmx detected

Does anybody knows what should I do???????????????
