Triggered acquisition

[aviaashu]

Dear friends, 

I am using a program for image acquisition in microscopy. My sample is placed on a nanopositioning stage (xy direction which takes analog inputs 0-10V)and my detector is analog detector which gives voltage output. These two have to work synchronously to collect data by raster scanning the sample.  I have a 6353 pcie X-series daq and compatible DAQmx driver (9.7) labview 2010 installed on a windows 7 OS. The program and related paper is attached. How do I make this thing work. The controller of my stage has separate x and y channels (connections made by bnc) for giving the voltage input. Please help me in understanding how the connections will be made I mean which wire goes in what point. My breakout box is BNC 2110.  

Thank you

Hi aviaashu,

I confirmed that your versions of LabVIEW, DAQmx, and Windows are all compatible with one another.

To control the XY stage, you'll need to connect two of the analog output pins of the PCIe-6353 to the analog inputs of the XY stage. You'll then need to specify in the front panel which two AO pins (out of the available four AO pins) you're sending the XY signals to, and set AOmin to 0 and AOmax to 10.

To learn more on how the AO works, please read the device specifications manual as well.
