Code For Pulse Train Loopback Using PXI 6229 DAQ and PXI 2503 MUX

Hi everyone, I am a bit new to using PXI cards.

 

In my test design I am using the PXI 6229 and the PXI 2503 MUX.  I am running a pulse train loopback signal from the PXI 6229 (PFI P2.0) to the DUT, and then from the DUT (out of the DUT) back into the PXI 6229 for a frequency measurement using PFI P2.1.  I am using the PXI 2503 to select the MUX channel I want to put the signal on and read the frequency from.

 

I am using the 2-WIRE QUAD 6x1 MUX topology and using MUX bank 2 (COM1).  I am using CH6 to switch in the pulse train signal.  When MUX CH6 is closed to COM1+ the P2.0 Pulse Train Signal Flows over the CH6+ line into the DUT which loops back out of the DUT onto the CH6- line which feeds back into the MUX on the COM1- and is fed into the PXI 6229 P2.1 for a frequency measurement.

 

Is there any good example code available that shows how to do the following:

 

1. Set up a PFI signal to output a Pulse Train Signal

2. Synchronize/Handshake the MUX (2503) and DAQ (6229) cards for frequency measurement

3. Set up a PFI signal to take a frequency measurement

 

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

Please refer to the LabVIEW shipping examples. Please navigate from any LabVIEW window to Help >> Find >> Hardware Input and Output. You may like to take a look to the Digital Output, Counter Input, and Switch examples.
