Mark-10 Force Gauge Missing Data

[Jarir]

Hi,

I am using a Mark 10 5i indicator and mr-01 500 sensor to read force data from my test setup. The code is designed to get the data from DAQ and Mark-10 simultaneously. The code runs but I am facing two issues. 

1. There is a constant data missing. See image below, there is sudden drop(zero) in value after some intervals. How do I solve it? (It is noteworthy to mention that I am using usb function from force gauge to receive data through a usb cable)

2. It has an option called auto-output. So, we have to set how many readings I want. It varies from 1 data/sec to 500 data/sec. I have matched it with the while loop timing I used for coding. Still, I feel there is a buffer. I mean if I press the sensor the labview shows the data after few seconds. If I reduce to 50 data/sec. Then it captures the data real time. What to do to fix the issue? 

I have attached the labview code, series 5i manual and series 5i labview guideline. Any help would be really appreciated.

Hello

You are building up a lot of data and I feel that 4 ms gets a bit fast for a real time display.

But I'm not sure.

What happens if you only read the mark10 gauge?

So no timing for the daq and just limit the speed by the communication?

Anyhow I always try to optimise a diagram into as readable as possible

Added it here.

Thank you for your suggestion. 

I tried only reading the mark 10. It has the same issue(Loss data+Not real time). However, if I remove the wait time. Then it is real time.  

I can work with lower sampling rate. However, I am finding it difficult to deal with the data loss.

Hi

You could read all available data from the nidaq and take the nearest in time to store with the mark10 data.

Nidaq can read all available data in one read.
