Installing Omega DAQ-56 Drivers

Hello,

 

I have acquired an Omega OMB-DAQ-56 Data Acquisition system along with a computer that has DASYlab already installed on it.  I do not have any installation disks for either DASYlab or the Omega hardware.  I believe that originally, this computer was used with an MCC-DAQ board.  I am an engineering student, and all the other MCC (measurement computing) boards are taken for other use.  The configuration program I have is very similar to"InstaCal", which is what we used with the MCC boards...

 

Essentially, all the MCC boards are being used for a class, and I have a seperate computer with the omega DAQ that I'd like to be able to use for my project.

 

I have installed the "personal DAQ" files from Omega, and the device is functioning properly.  It is reading the thermocouple temperature properly.  However, I would like to be able to use DASYlab for its signal conditioning and data logging.  I am only taking analog data, that is, I am only using thermocouples and pressure transducers. I read somewhere that DASYlab and this particular hardware do not get along too well when using digital inputs.

 

I found this file from Omega.  http://www.omega.com/manuals/manualpdf/M4280.pdf , and it says that I need the DASYlab installation CD to install the DAQ files with it..  I do not have that.  Is there any way I can get around that?

 

Thank you in advance!

 

- Wes

This is probably the driver. You don't mention the DASYLab version.

Hi

 

I am using Omega DAQ OMB 54. I could not detect my device in NI MAX software.

What version of DASYLab do you have? 

 

DASYLab 2016 does not include the drivers for the OMB-DAQ-54. 

 

You would need to use DASYLab 13 and download the correct driver from the Omega site. Contact Omega for details. 

 

This is not a NI device, so there is no reason that you would find it in NI MAX.
