Automation support for MCC USB-2416-4AO

[metalhouse]

Hi,

 

I am just wondering if automating test cases is possible using the free software package DAQami? I basically have the following requirements:

 

1. Energize a solenoid valve to open position through the DI/O port

1. Receive a pressure upper to value to de-energize the solenoid valve to closed position holding that pressure

2. Wait for a certain period before energizing the solenoid valve again, and then waiting for a period before repeating the same process again for a certain number of cycles

 

I also want to ask if the DAQami will be able to give me actual pulse values in a time step by subtracting the new totalized value from the previous one? I am assuming that the it wont be able to read the square wave individually?

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

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.
