Hi all!
I have a very strange problem with the NI DAQCard-6036E (PCMCIA) around the measuring time of acquisitions. For example my last try was to measure for 3 seconds, getting 10 samples/sec. So that means 30 samples for all and 10 Hz sampling time. But it took approximately 25(!!!) seconds to finish! I' ve been using PCI-6251 quite a long, but I have not experienced this problem with it yet. If I run the same software on that card it works fine: getting 30 samples with 10 Hz takes ap. 3 seconds. But with this 6036E card acquisitions' durations are very strange..:
For example measuring 100 samples, with 100 sample rate took:
in case of 1 input channel: ~5 secs
in case of 2 input channels: ~2.5 secs
in case of 6 input channels: ~1.79 secs
in case of 8 input channels: ~1.25 secs, so that could be good... but that 25 secs instead of 3 could not...!!!!
Of course if I set the timeout value for the time it should be then it fails with "data not ready yet".
Thanks for any reply,
Zsolt
