DAQman

Hello @gerardc
Please reference the following inquiry for the solution: 
 

The DaqBoard/2000 driver has an outdated driver signature, which prevents it from loading, and no updates are available for it.

I've installed daqhats on several Raspberry Pi 5s, and the only issue I've encountered is that they are not compatible with HAT+ boards, such as NVMe SSDs. I suggest you start with a fresh image of 64-bit Bookworm OS. In a terminal, run the following to ensure you're up to date:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt full-upgrade
$ sudo reboot
Next, enable I2C and SPI using the Raspberry Pi desktop -> Preferences -> Raspberry Pi Configuration app. 
Finally, follow the daqhats installation instructions at https://github.com/mccdaq/daqhats
Python support is a separate step and is installed within an activated virtual environment (venv) using sudo pip install daqhats 

Please see attached files.

We made TracerDAQ Pro available free of charge. It is in the following folder: https://files.digilent.com/#downloads/TracerDaq/. Copy TracerDaqProCD.zip to your computer, extract it to a temporary folder, then run setup.exe.
 

I suspect you have an older copy of InstaCal. Please update with the current version: https://files.digilent.com/#downloads/InstaCal/ Then reboot and try again. Thanks

The C# examples are equivalent to the VB.NET examples. Both use .NET Framework 2.0, but we will soon update them to .NET Framework 4. However, support for .NET Core is not planned.

The error indicates a problem with your USB-TC. The channels work in pairs, so it is most likely that both channels, two and three, have a problem. When you get this error, a value of -9000 is returned. From the picture, it appears that only channels four and five are working. 

Install the InstaCal utility using the MCC DAQ CD download to get the examples, which will be in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Measurement Computing\DAQ\C#\

When initiating an input scan, enable the EXTCLOCK scan option and connect your optical encoder to the external clock terminal, not the external trigger. This will cause the device to scan the inputs with every encoder pulse. 

The input range is not programmable. Instead, it is fixed at +- 10 volts.

The following worksheet uses a TTL Pulse Generator to generate one pulse per second. The Combi Trigger detects the pulse and sends a signal to the Relay to let one sample pass. The Average module is configured for a moving average of 60, and the Generator simulates one of your Modbus channels. 
See the attached worksheet...

 
OneMinuteMovingAverage.DSB

The averaging is explained when Show explanation is clicked in the Average module's Help. Below, you can see that only Fixed will reduce the amount of data. 
 

 
You can use the Statistics->Counter module set to count samples, a Combi Trigger, and a Relay to wait 60 minutes (3600 seconds) before beginning the averaging. Below is a worksheet design that does this. I used two Generators to simulate your Modbus registers. When the trigger determines the sample count has reached Warm Up Time, it closes the Relay, allowing data to flow. I used a couple of global variables to make testing easier with shorter times. The worksheet will prompt for values when the worksheet is started. Choose a Warm Up Time of 3600 seconds to achieve one hour. Same for the averaging. I have attached my worksheet if you are interested.

QuickDAQ does not support digital I/O channels; it's primarily for analog input. However, it does provide frequency and quadrature encoder displacement input for DT devices with high-performance counters. 

Use the InstaCal utility to program the TC-32 to use a static IP.

The DT9857E's power requirement is +4.75vdc to +28vdc, while the DT9857's is +5vdc. Please review pages 156, 159, 160, and 168 in the user manual. 
It seems strange that both of your DT9857E power supplies are defective. With power applied, connect it to a USB port, and you should hear a sound indicating it is connected to the driver. Device Manager will list it under DT-Open Layers Data Acquisition Devices. If you get this far, you can use QuickDAQ for testing - DASYLab.
You can request a repair quote using the forum's private message feature. To do so, send me the device serial numbers and your billing and shipping addresses. 
 
 
 

The Digilent p/n is 6069-300-019. The Data Translation p/n is EP361. We don't manufacture the supply, so the p/n you see is the manufacturer's, and it can change if we get them from another supplier.
To order, select EP361 from the drop-down list on the following page: https://digilent.com/shop/mcc-power-supplies/

The USB-5201 is a USB-TC with logging features. It works like a USB-TC thermocouple reader when not acting as a logger. To configure it, use the InstaCal program. Windows 10/11 uses InstaCal 6.74. 

The PMOD AD5 is a 24-bit A/D with multiplexed channels. It is fundamentally an AD7193 chip with a PMOD interface. The input range is programmable, so keeping it close to the input signal span should yield good results. Please refer to the AD7193 datasheet for additional information.
(Page 32)
PROGRAMMABLE GAIN ARRAY (PGA)
When the gain stage is enabled, the output from the buffer is
applied to the input of the PGA. The presence of the PGA means
that signals of small amplitude can be gained within the AD7193
and still maintain excellent noise performance. For example, when
the gain is set to 128, the rms noise is 11 nV, typically, when the
output data rate is 4.7 Hz, which is equivalent to 22.7 bits of
effective resolution or 20 bits of noise free resolution.
The AD7193 can be programmed to have a gain of 1, 8, 16, 32,
64, or 128 by using Bit G2 to Bit G0 in the configuration register.
Therefore, with an external 2.5 V reference, the unipolar ranges
are from 0 mV to 19.53 mV to 0 V to 2.5 V, and the bipolar ranges
are from ±19.53 mV to ±2.5 V. 

Please use InstaCal 6.55 for Windows 7. After this version, we updated the driver signature per Microsoft's recommendation for Windows 10 & 11.

When replacing the device with a new one of the same kind, please run InstaCal so that it can update the stored serial number.
Programs created using our Universal Library (UL) can help you get around the need to run InstaCal using UL's daq device discovery interface. 

A simple way to create a start time string is to go to Define Global String. Select an empty string and click Advanced. Give the string a name, then check the "calculate expression automatically" box. Click the Strings button and select START_TIME from the list. 

Multiplier and offset is the same as y=mx+b, line equation, where m is the multiplier and b is offset. Start by creating a line equation for -15 and for 14.7.
-15 = m(0.5) + b
14.7 = m(4.5) + b
Calculate the slope (m), which is (y2 - y1) / (x2-x1) = (-15-14.7) / (0.5-4.5) = 7.425
m = 7.425
plug m into one of the equations  
-15 = 7.425 * 0.5 + b
solve for b
-15 = 3.7125 + b
-18.7125 = b
or 
b = -18.7125
For your pressure sensor,  the line equation is y = 7.425(x) -18.7125
Test with 0.5 volts
y = 7.425 * 0.5 - 18.7125
y = -15 psi
Test with 4.5 volts
y = 7.425 * 4.5 - 18.7125
y = 14.7 psi
what voltage is zero psi
0 = 7.425(x) - 18.7125
move -18 to the leftside
18.7125 = 7.425x
x = 18.7125 / 7.425
0 psi = 2.52 volts

The MCC 128 can be programmed to operate continuously or to capture a fixed amount. The programming API does not have routines for file writing. If you are programming with Python, consider using the Python CSV module to write CSV files. If you are programming with C/C++, we include a logger example that can be used to save data to CSV files.
