Data Acquisition in LabVIEW

Traditional NI-DAQSpecific VIs for performing:• Analog Input• Analog Output• Digital I/O• Counter operations

NI-DAQmxNext generation driver: • VIs for performing a

task• One set of VIs for all

measurement types

11

NI-DAQmx Data Acquisition

Single set of VIs used to perform analog I/O, digital I/O, and counter operations

DAQ Assistant Express VI• Quickly and easily program the DAQ device• Creates a local task• Most applications can use the DAQ

Assistant Express VI

12

NI-DAQmx Data Acquisition Task Types

Measurement type can be:•Analog Input•Analog Output•Counter Input•Counter Output•Digital I/O

13

Analog Input

Analog Input task is specific to the measurement

14

Analog Input Task Timing and Triggering

Configures the number of samples and sample rate for the task

Configures the start and reference triggers for the task

15

Data Logging It is often necessary to permanently store data that

is acquired from the DAQ device LabVIEW includes the ability to read and write a

LabVIEW Measurement File LabVIEW Measurement File is an ASCII text file

16

Analog Output

Analog Output task is specific to the generation type

17

Analog Output Task Timing and Triggering

Configures the number of samples and sample rate for the task

Configures the start and reference triggers for the task

18

CountersA counter is a digital timing deviceTypical uses of a counter:• Event counting• Frequency measurement• Period measurement• Position measurement• Pulse generation

Gate

Source

Output

Count Register

Count register – Stores the current count of the counterSource – Input that causes the counter to increment each time it togglesGate – Input that is used to enable or disable the function of the counterOutput – Signal that generates pulses or a series of pulses

19

Digital Input and OutputDigital I/O can

read from or write to a line or an entire digital port

A digital port is a collection of digital lines

20

SummaryMAX is the primary configuration and testing utility

that is available for the DAQ device.The DAQ Assistant is used to configure the DAQ

device and perform data acquisition.Most application can use the DAQ Assistant. For

applications that require advanced timing and synchronization use the VIs that come with NI-DAQmx.

The DAQ Assistant can perform Analog Input, Analog Output, Digital I/O, and Counter operations.

21

NI-DAQmx 的優點

DAQ Assistant.Increased performance-faster single point I/

O and multithreading( 多緒 ).Simple and intuitive API.DAQ property nodes and waveform support.Similar API for all programming languages.

Task 與 Global Channel

一個 task 包含多個 global channel 。當 global channel 的參數改變， task

也會改變。用 task 或多個 global channels 來達成

multi-channel 。

23

Task 與 Physical Channel

Task 要在 MAX 中設定。Physical Channel 的參數在 LabVIEW 中

設定。

PS ： Global Channel 也要在 MAX 中設定。

量測程式

Using the task.Using multiple global channels.Using multi-thready with physical channel.Using the “Write LVM” VI.

Multi-channel Measurement Program-Using Physical Channel ?!

用多緒執行來達成，但是會增加負擔，不建議使用。

33

結論

Task 是相當方便的架構，但是有彈性不夠的缺點。

使用 Global Channel 是一個較佳的方式，在量測時間的處理上比較活用。

多緒執行不適合用執行這樣的訊號量測程式。
