Simultaneous Buffered and Looped Acquisition

[jdubcarter@my-deja.com]

I'm a graduate student in Biomechanics at the University of
Washington. I'm running Labview 5.1 on a Windows NT box with a PCI-
6071E DAQ board. Using this board I will be taking in between 8 and 12
Analog signals.

I want to sample all the analog channels at around 40kHz using a
buffered acquisition, while simultaneously taking two of the signals
and computing the integral of one versus the other in real time using a
looped acquistion. I have been able to get each component working
independently, however, I haven't had any success running the buffered
acquisition and looped acquisition simultaneously. Can anyone help me
out with this dilemna?

Also, if I get these two operations running simultaneously I wo
uld like
to have them synchronized to start at the same time. If anyone can
offer some wisdom on that it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

When you say "looped," I assume you mean a continuous acquisition (i.e.
an acquisition where you can sample AI signals forever, if so desired).

This example is probably a bit more than what you're looking for, but
you should find all the functionality that you need w/in the VI. It's an
example to do digital-triggered, continuous AI w/ 2 E-Series boards RTSIed
together -- you only have one E-Series board.
