Triggered acquisition

[aviaashu]

Dear friends, 

I am using a program for image acquisition in microscopy. My sample is placed on a nanopositioning stage (xy direction which takes analog inputs 0-10V)and my detector is analog detector which gives voltage output. These two have to work synchronously to collect data by raster scanning the sample.  I have a 6353 pcie X-series daq and compatible DAQmx driver (9.7) labview 2010 installed on a windows 7 OS. The program and related paper is attached. How do I make this thing work. The controller of my stage has separate x and y channels (connections made by bnc) for giving the voltage input. Please help me in understanding how the connections will be made I mean which wire goes in what point. My breakout box is BNC 2110.  

Thank you

aviaashu,

I browsed through the PDF you attached and it seems like this code uses two Analog Inputs (ai0, ai1) and two Analog Outputs (ao0,ao1), and 3 counters (ctr0,ctr1,ctr3). The resources I have linked below should be able to help you

NI PCIe-6353 Device Pinout

https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370466AC-01/device_pinouts/6353_pinout/ - This should help you find out what PFI lines correlate to what counter (located in the table at the bottom)

BNC-2110 Manual

http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/372121f.pdf -This should help you with locating the necessary PFI lines and Analog Outputs/Inputs on the BNC 2110 (check page 9 for PFI lines)

Sailesh, 

Thank you for the response. Going through the pinout diagram I think I need two break out boxes. Right?
