In short, it's more less taken me 6 months to get some time to go over this system. It's meant for noise measurement (electronic noise). Purchased at the same time/same quote was NI-5911, Measure, Diadem. I wanted Measure because it pulled in data directly to Excel. NI Scope does work with the board but not entirely, when you abstract data from it, you can pull it into Diadem but then all the sampling rates are off and you can't specify what interval of data to capture, it does what it damn well pleases. I *thought* I had gotten it to capture 1 sec of data at 1 Mhz, Diadem told me I had 100 points at 17.94 hz.
I wish I had the time to sit down and write something to access it. But I would not get enough uninterrupted time, that's why I'm asking for something that has been done already. All I really need is something to acquire the data, the rest I can do in Diadem. On 6/19/07, nobozoz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I did a little digging on ni.com and found quite a bit of useful info regarding "niscope". I think the current version of niscope is 3.3 and downloadable with a simple registration at ni.com. If you know your way around in M$ Visual Studio or Visual Studio .Net, you should be able to figure out how to communicate with your NI-5911 - it is listed as being supported currently. hth, _jim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Steve Tomporowski Sent: Monday, June 18, 2007 7:47 AM To: The Hardware List Subject: [H] Data Aquisition Okay a different kind of PC hardware question. My company just got screwed over pretty good by National Instruments. Basically we bought a package and surprise! The software is incompatible with the hardware. The incompatibility does not appear on the webpage nor did the sales 'engineer' mention it. So, short of rewarding their incompetence by buying labview or something else, I'd like to find out if there is third party/free software out there that can collect data from an NI Daq card, specifically the NI-5911. Anyone know of anything? Thanks....Steve
