Hello @Przemek. Please investigate what changes were made recently to your application, i.e. OS update/upgrade, new host PC, updated DT software, IT changes to PC. What type of environment is the DT9805 module in during operation, to suspect a broken connection? Please test the DT9805 with Data Translation's QuickDAQ application on that system. Any issues? Please test the DT9805 with a different PC and Data Translation's QuickDAQ application. Any issues? If you have a backup DT9805 module, please swap the modules and retest. Please swap out the USB cable and retest. If you use a USB hub, retest with an externally powered USB hub or connect the DT9805 directly to the target system. Regards, Fausto

Hello @metalhouse. The DAQami software does not support an automation process. Take a look at the DASYLab software for your application. If you are a LabVIEW user, then you can use Universal Library for NI LabVIEW™ with the USB-2416-4AO and LabVIEW. Regards, Fausto

Hello @msmith. The MCC USB-3101FS has a low output impedance of 0.1 Ohms and an output update rate up to 100 kS/s per channel. The MCC PCIe-DAS1602/16 has an input impedance of 10 MOhms and an aggregate sampling input rate of 100 kS/s, since the analog inputs are multiplexed to the ADC. What is the output rate and output range of the signals from the MCC USB-3101FS channels? Configure the analog input channels on the MCC PCIe-DAS1602/16 board for differential mode. What is the input range of the analog input channels on the MCC PCIe-DAS1602/16 board? Choose a narrow range. Regards, Fausto

Hello @DHMPM. A 3D drawing with dimensions is not available for the MCC USB-201 and USB-204 devices, only a 2D drawing. There is no information regarding the depth of the holes. However, as shown below, the outer four holes attach the upper and lower sections of the enclosure, while the inner through holes can be used for mounting the device. Regards, Fausto

Hello @fdix. Please uninstall Data Translation's QuickDAQ software via Windows Control Panel. Run appwiz.cpl to access the Control Panel. Next, download and install Data Translation's OMNI software, which includes QuickDAQ. Does the new installation resolve your issue? Regards, Fausto

Posted for @fahiz. I am currently developing a custom GUI with Qt, which includes an oscilloscope. I'm utilizing the ADP 3450. My task involves plotting waves with a frequency of 1 million Hz and an amplitude of 1 Vpp. Additionally, it operates in burst mode with a trigger interval of 1 second. Currently, I'm employing FDwfAnalogInAcquisitionMode as scanmodeshift. I'm encountering below issues: The time range is very limited (currently at 0.2 seconds), which prevents me from observing more than one wave bunch. Ideally, I would like to visualize multiple pulses over a couple of seconds. Another issue lies in the plot amplitude, which doesn't reach 0.5 V and -0.5 V. but, increasing the frequency allows it to touch the peaks. Could you advise on how to address these issues and suggest the correct method for plotting in such cases? I am adding one screenshot also with this. I am using the SDK (C++) provided by Waveform, and the Qt version is 5.15.3. I am generating and plotting with the same device (ADP 3450). I also attempted generating from another source. I am providing the header file and source file of the basic Qt code (I am using QCustomPlot for plotting).

Hello @STuson. All MCC DAQ HAT boards are compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5. Follow the instructions below to install the MCC daqhats software branch (beta version 1.5.0.0) for RPi 5 modules. https://github.com/mccdaq/daqhats/tree/pi5 1. $ cd daqhats 2. $ sudo ./uninstall.sh 3. $ git pull 4. $ git checkout pi5 5. $ sudo ./install.sh 6. $ pip install daqhats (manually add Python support) You can switch back to the released library by uninstalling the library, running “git checkout master”, and then installing the library. Use the installed MCC DAQ HAT Manager utility application to verify communication with the MCC 118/MCC 128 or use terminal commands. $ sudo daqhats_read_eeproms $ daqhats_list_boards Do the MCC DAQ HATS work? Verify the address jumper is in place if required. Reply with screen captures and images of your hardware if the issue is not resolved. Regards, Fausto

Hello @Robert Janes. MCC's TracerDAQ software is a legacy application. There is no option to change the count of the Y-axis' major and minor grid lines. Users can export the captured data to a .csv file and open the data file in Excel, as an option. Regards, Fausto

Hello @Jonaskb. The DT9800 Series driver is 64-bit compatible. The driver works with LabVIEW 2023 Q3 (64-bit) in a Windows 11 64-bit OS. We support using Data Translation (DT####) devices in LabVIEW using Data Translation's LV-Link3 library. We do not have a library for NI DIAdem and have not supported NI DIAdem. Please send me the folder with files and instructions to review. Regards, Fausto

Hello @Joero. Thank you for testing the other OS, systems, and cables. Testing with a Windows 10 system rules out any OS upgrade issue. Testing with Linux rules out an issue with the Windows driver. At this point, it appears that the USB front-end circuitry on the MCC USB-CTR08 may be corrupted. I don't have any other troubleshooting steps and all your results point to non-functional device. I cannot hypothesize what happened to the device since it initially worked back in October 2023. Did anyone else use the device since then? The device does not go bad just by sitting unused for months. Regards, Fausto

@Display Name, What are the outputs when you run the following command with the MCC 152 only, with the other board(s) only, and with all HAT boards mounted on the RPi? i2cdetect -y 1 Thank you.

Hello @Display Name. The MCC 152 uses the I2C interface pins (GPIO 2 and GPIO 3); MCC 152 Electrical Specifications. Other mounted HAT boards cannot use the I2C interface pins if a MCC 152 is mounted on the Raspberry Pi. Regards, Fausto

Hello @jiale. Which software and version was used to create that .dat file? Our DASYLab software application has a module to write data to a DIAdem DAT file, but no option to read the .dat file format. Consider using the NI DIAdem application. Regards, Fausto

Hello @Jonaskb. We do not provide support for NI DIAdem software. On your Windows 11 system, do you have a C:\Program Files (x86)\Data Translation\DeviceDrivers\DT9800 directory with files? With the DT9803 device connected to your Windows 11 system, install Data Translation's QuickDAQ application and then launch it. Does the application detect the DT9803? If so, then add the device to the right-side column and continue with QuickDAQ. Once in the QuickDAQ environment, press the start acquisition or record button to capture data. If that all works, then the issue is not with the DT9803. Regards, Fausto

Hello @WFTXglass. Please provide more information regarding your issue, i.e. screen captures, worksheet, any processes running in the OS background, any virus scan apps running, are hibernation and sleep modes disabled. Have you attempted to create a simple worksheet to debug your issue? Regards, Fausto

Hello @WFTXglass. You may be using an older version of InstaCal, not supported under Windows 11. Please download and install the current version of InstaCal. Restart your Windows 11 system and then retest the MCC USB-1608X-2AO with InstaCal first. If the device is detected by InstaCal and no errors, then close the application and launch DASYLab 2016. Any errors using the device with your DASYLab worksheet? If so, create a new simple worksheet to test the MCC USB-1608X-2AO. Reply with your script and screen captures if errors continue to be an issue. Regards, Fausto
