How to increase sampling rate using VC++ to get data from a2d and send to d2a

Dear All:

 

From the program below, I read from A/D and send data to D/A, the sampling rate is less than 20Hz.

My DAQ is NI6229, and OS is window XP.

 

How should I increase the sampling rate?

 

.

Thank you,

Chai9999.

 

int main(void)
{
 int   error=0;
 char  errBuff[2048]={'\0'};
 TaskHandle taskHandle=0;
 float64     idata1;
    

 while (1) {


 /*********************************************/
 // DAQmx Configure Code  READ A2D
 /*********************************************/
 DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateTask("",&taskHandle));
 DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandle,"Dev1/ai0","",DAQmx_Val_RSE,-10.0,10.0,DAQmx_Val_Volts,""));
 DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxReadAnalogScalarF64(taskHandle,10.0,&idata1,0));
 DAQmxClearTask(taskHandle);


 /*********************************************/
 // DAQmx Configure Code SEND D2A
 /*********************************************/
 DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateTask("",&taskHandle));
 DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateAOVoltageChan(taskHandle,"Dev1/ao0","",-10.0,10.0,DAQmx_Val_Volts,""));
 DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxWriteAnalogScalarF64(taskHandle,1,-1,idata1,NULL));
 DAQmxClearTask(taskHandle);


}

 


Error:
 if( DAQmxFailed(error) )
  DAQmxGetExtendedErrorInfo(errBuff,2048);
 if( taskHandle!=0 ) {
  /*********************************************/
  // DAQmx Stop Code
  /*********************************************/
  DAQmxStopTask(taskHandle);
  DAQmxClearTask(taskHandle);
 }

 if( DAQmxFailed(error) )
  printf("DAQmx Error: %s\n",errBuff);
 printf("End of program, press Enter key to quit\n");
 getchar();
 return 0;
}

Hi chai9999,

 

It seems that you do not have the timing configured for this task. You can do so by adding the  DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming() function. A good place to begin learning about DAQmx programming is this page. In addition, the NI-DAQmx C Reference Help is installed with the driver. The path to a few examples can also be found  inside that Help file.
