configure a DAQ

[Doraemon]

Hi can anyone teach or advise me how configure a DAQ card so you can input and output voltages. My daq card is PCI-MIO-16E-1.I look at the specification but still don't understand. Hope someone will guide me through. Thanks

Hi,

you speak of PCI-MIO-16E-1 card.

This card is supported in both Traditional DAQ and DAQmx.

Attached are Vi's which do simulaneous AI and AO in traditional and DAQmx respectively.

After opening the VI, for instructions on how to configure and run the VI, select : File >> VI Properties >> Documentation

Hope this answers your query

Any doubts do mail

regards

Dev

hi dev,

thks for your help but I cant run the vi because i do not have all the sub vi. And I want to know is given so many pin on the green board that connect to my pci card then to labview, how would I know which pin to use? And how to use it in labview? I dont quite understand the sample you gave me esp when i cant even run it.

I'll be using LV 6, as my system in the lab doesn't allow me to use LV 7.Pls advise. Thanks

In LabVIEW 6, open the example finder (Help>Find Examples). From the Browse tab, select Hardware Input and Output>DAQ>Simultaneous Analog IO. There are some examples there for doing analog in/out. If there are subVIs missing, then it would because you don't have NI-DAQ installed. That would be a necessary first step for you to do.

Your board shipped with some documentation. In the documentation is the pinout of the board. Pins called ain (ai0, ai1, etc), are analog inputs. Pins called aon (ao0, ao1,) are analog outputs. If by "green board", you're talking about a board with screw terminals, this board would be connected to your DAQ baord with a ribbon cable. Pin1 on ther termination board corresponds to pin1 of your DAQ board. Determine which analog inputs and outputs you want to use and the input configuration (i.e. differential, RSE, etc.) and make the physical connections on the terminal board. If you can't find the documentation for your board, you can go to http://www.ni.com/support/ and do a search for it.
