Using scc-2345 input with MATLAB

[JRotberg]

Good Day.

I wish to use an SCC-2345 wtih the AI03 Module for voltage data aquistion. The interface card is PCI-6024E

The software I use is MATLAB with the Data Aqusition Toolbox with a self developed program which was used with the same card but with a BNC2120.

I managed to get the data in MAX test panels but couldn't create the MATLAB channel to work with the SCC-2345.

any ideas?

Thanks.

Hello Joseph,

I would like to encourage you to check out the new Signal Processing, Analysis, and Math features available in LabVIEW 8.  Consider that the Data Acquisition Toolbox for MATLAB uses the Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) driver for data acquisition and now we have NI-DAQmx which you would be able to use with LabVIEW. Keep in mind that our newest data acquisition products, such as the M Series are only supported in NI-DAQmx which is another reason to consider the software upgrade.

As for your current setup, when using accessories such as the SC-2345 with MATLAB, keep in mind that the accessory is transparent.  Therefore, you need to reference the physical channels on your DAQ device, not the actual SCC modules as you do in MAX.  For example, if your SCC-AI03 is in slot J1 you would reference physical channel AI0. 

Hope this helps!
