Duty cycle measurement using RLP

[Fv1234]

Hi All,

I 'm using a PCI-6229 in RTX environment and, I would like to measure a duty cycle.

Is there any exemple file?

Your help is welcome

Hello Richard K,

I sorry but I would like to program my board with register level because I'm in RTX environment. I can start with gpctex3.cpp but I have no informations to do a buffered semiperiod measurement.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

As you noticed, there are no examples on how to do buffered counter operations for M Series in the MHDDK examples.  However, the M Series counter functionality is based on the same technology used in the 660x counter/timer boards.  Below is a link to the 660x Register Level Programming manual, which should help point you in the right direction.  I hope this helps.

I used also the DAQ-STC Technical Reference Manual

Thanks for your help

Hello Jeremy,

My acquisition works fine but sometime, the first acquired point is the High level and sometime, the first acquired point is the Low level. I created a semi period task with MAX and with each acquisition, the first acquisred point is the same level.

In my code, I programed the gate polarity at 1.

Do you know what is the source of my problem?

Thanks for your helps

Hi Fv1234-

Are you using a software arm or a hardware arm signal?  You should be able to set a hardware arm on the input signal and choose a level/edge that meets your needs.  Can you please give a bit more info about how you're configuring the counter?

Thanks-

Hi Tom,

I 'm using a software arm. But with MAX, I have also a software arm???

To use a hardware arm, can I put my waveform on the auxiliary pin and configure the second gate of the counter?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Tom,

It works, I configure the second gate and now every time, my acquisition starts at the same level.

Thanks a lot
