C series module for ultrasonic transducer driver and receiver

[edwaugh_cloudcycle]

Hi all,

I'd like to drive a small ultrasonic transducer and receive the signal from a second transducer ideally with a sine wave. We have some existing C series chassis and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a hardware solution that might be suitable. All suggestions very welcome.

Thanks

What is the model of your ultrasonic transducer.

The first link does not provide any datasheet and information on the output signal.

The second mentions that the output signal type is digital. I assume it is something similar to Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04 and Arduino

You would need DIO modules that can access onboard counters to send the trigger and capture the echo signal precisely. See cDAQ Module Support for Accessing On-board Counters.

What are you trying to achieve with these ultrasonic transducers and cDAQ?
Driving/receiving directly from a just a ultrasonic transducer is a specially as it involves special circuit to drive at high frequency.
