USB-6001

[Mehdi_ab13]

Hi every one

 I am going to buy NI USB-6001 and using it in Data Aquisition Toolbox Matlab 2016a, 

I need to know is it possible simoultanously to use Analoge input and analog output ?

What exactly do you mean by "simultaneously"?

Please note that you're looking at the "lowest" cost DAQ in NI's portfolio and hence limited by lot.

Dear Santhosh,

Thank you for your reply

I want to make a hardware in loop as closed loop pid controller in matlab simulink using data aquisition toolbox blocks model to measure voltage from temp sensor through analog input of the usb6001 and apply control signal to actuator device through Analog output of thd usb6001

In your case, you will read the temp using Analog Input, then do some calculations, then generate a voltage on Analog Output. These are still single-point operations, and that is possible.

Please do note that implementing PID on software is not the fastest, and your loop time will be very slow. depending on what exactly you're controlling, it may or may not work.
