    JRys got a reaction from kseidl3 in MCC USB-205 Sampling   
    There is no sample-hold circuit before the analog inputs. The time skew from channel to channel is the inverse of the aggregate rate, 500k or 2us. It's more noticeable at lower rates. For instance, sampling four channels at 1000 S/s is 1 / 4000 or 250us. However, this can be good because it allows the channel more time to settle down before the measurement.

    Use the Signal Adaptation module set to Linear Interpolation. Connect the faster channel to input zero and it will adjust the slower USB-TC data stream to match it.

    You could have the thermocouple wired backward. That would explain the temperature drop when heat is applied.

    Now that you have installed DAQami on Windows 11, you must update InstaCal, too. Run the following installation, and then try DAQami again.

    JRys got a reaction from EKT in How to upgrade the USB-1608G firmware?   
    If the USB-1608G is plugged in, InstaCal should automatically detect it when started. If you've started InstaCal before installing the device, hit the refresh button or restart InstaCal. If it is not found, I encourage you to try another USB port or even another computer. If a second computer has the same issue, it's probably defective.

    The USB-ERB24 can be susceptible to electrical and magnetic noise -RFI and EMI. If the USB cable is close to equipment that may radiate noise, reposition it elsewhere. Also, get a USB cable with ferrite filters like this: https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-Hi-Speed-Ferrite-U023-003/dp/B008VOPCGY/. The ferrite on both ends absorbs high-frequency noise and will help.

    JRys got a reaction from Anatoliy in USB-1602HS-2AO not recognized by PC (Win11)   
    You must run InstaCal with the USB-1608HS-2AO so that it is added to the board list. When InstaCal is closed, it creates a file that LabVIEW reads, which is read once it is first started. So, always close LabVIEW before making changes to InstaCal, and always close InstaCal before starting LabVIEW. If you do this and LabVIEW cannot find the device, check your computer for duplicate copies of our files. Check your whole system for cb.cfg, cbw32.dll and cbw64.dll. The correct locations for these are:
    C:\ProgramData\Measurement Computing\DAQ\cb.cfg
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Measurement Computing\DAQ\cbw32.dll
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Measurement Computing\DAQ\cbw64.dll
    If you find files in other folders, delete them. 
    Regarding the TracerDAQ error, it uses DirectX9, and the error typically means your video card is unable to run DirectX.

    JRys got a reaction from OscarP in Voltage not 0 in analog inputs (USB 201)   
    You can test the input (CH0) by connecting it over to the +V pin, which is +5 volt signal. Then connect the input to the ground (AGND) and it should read close to zero. Assuming this all work, connect your sensor's -U to AGND and +S to the input.

    DAQami cannot redirect the value from an analog input to an output. Instead, consider the DASYLab software, which can. If you have C or Python programming skills, you could do it using our Universal Library API. LabVIEW is another possibility.

    JRys got a reaction from Vasanthakumar in USB-CTR08: High-speed counter/timer device with eight counter I/O   
    The USB-2416-4AO (and AI-EXP32) inputs can be individually set to either differential or single-ended. However, the device has only one A/D converter, which is shared among the channels. Because of this, the measurements are not truly simultaneous. For example, if the sample rate is 100 Hz, the gap from channel to channel is 10ms.

    An example of unipolar is 0 to 5 volts. An example of bipolar is -5 to + 5 volts. The AD2 Scope inputs are bipolar. If your signal is unipolar, it can be shifted to appear bipolar using the Zero parameter found in the channel settings.

    JRys got a reaction from ThanhThe in Amplitude Modulation   
    Generating an AM signal is simple. Start with a new workspace. Add a Wavegen instrument and configure it for Modulation, as shown. Set the Carrier frequency to 1 MHz. Turn off the FM channel. Configure the AM channel to be a Triangle wave at 10 kHz, as shown. 

    Demodulation can be done with a lock-in amplifier. Add a Scope instrument and enable Scope-1. Physically connect Scope-1 to the Wavegen channel in a loopback fashion. Start both the Wavegen Channel and the Scope. To demodulate the AM signal, add a Lock-In amplifier and configure it, as shown.

     
    Next, add a second Math channel; select Simple instead of the Lock-In amplifier. Set the channel on the Simple math channel to M1. Set the operation to AC, and it will extract the AC signal from the first Math channel. The 10 kHz triangle wave is extracted from the 1 MHz Carrier wave using the Lock-In amplifier and a Simple AC math channel. Much more information can be found in the Waveforms Help.

    JRys got a reaction from Roman Slizynski in Terminal assignment and application display   
    In DAQami, the first four channels are the voltage inputs V0...V3 and the next four are T0...T3. DAQami AI0 is V0H, V0L, and AIO4 is T0H, T0L.
    Use InstaCal first to configure the temperature channels, such as thermistor, RTD, thermocouple, etc. Thermocouples are straightforward to connect; however, the other sensor types require special wiring. InstaCal has a Show Connections button that will display a wiring diagram to make it easy.

    JRys got a reaction from Saha in Issue with Raspberry MCC 128 (ADC) and optical detector ground   
    The manual says to connect a 50-ohm resistor to the ground on the detector output. The output is current, and the resistor generates the output voltage. Connect the MCC 128 input across the resistor. I recommend placing the inputs in differential mode for the measurement. If the signal is too low with the 50 ohm resistor, use a 1000-ohm load resistor.
