Hello,
I use a PCIe 6361 to acquire voltages from 7 AI s and the rate of acquisition is an order of magnitude less than expected.
Following is what I did where avg is the number of samples read per channel.
DaqStart=Timer ();
DAQmxReadAnalogF64(collectHandle,avg,10.0,DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,rawdata,avg*7,&numRead,NULL);
DaqEnd=Timer() – DaqStart;
For instance, with 1000 samples per channel (total of 7000 Samples from 7 channels) the time it takes to read is 0.07 seconds. I.e. 0.1 MS/sec. I get the same rate for any number of samples read. I am wondering why this is the case when the PCIe-6361 is supposed to read 1 MS/sec in multichannel acquisition.
Specs of the PC : AMD 3.5 GHz 6 core, 16 GB RAM, ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 Board.
thabks,
Naba
