acquire continuous and background data using ni devices -凯发k8网页登录

create and configure the dataacquisition object

use daq to create a dataacquisition object and addinput to add an input channel to it. this example uses an ni 9205 module in national instruments® compactdaq chassis ni cdaq-9178. this is module 1 in the chassis.

dq = daq("ni");
addinput(dq, "cdaq1mod1", "ai0", "voltage");
dq.rate = 2000;

plot live data as it is acquired

during a background acquisition, the dataacquisition can handle acquired data in a specified way using the scansavailablefcn property.

dq.scansavailablefcn = @(src,evt) plotdataavailable(src, evt);

set scansavailablefcncount

by default, the scansavailablefcn is called 10 times per second. modify the scansavailablefcncount property to decrease the call frequency. the scansavailablefcn will be called when the number of points accumulated exceeds this value. set the scansavailablefcncount to the rate, which results in one call to scansavailablefcn per second.

dq.scansavailablefcncount = 2000;

start the background acquisition

use start to start the background acquisition.

start(dq, "duration", seconds(5))

there are no other calculations to perform and the acquisition is set to run for the entire five seconds. use pause in a loop to monitor the number of scans acquired for the duration of the acquisition.

while dq.running
    pause(0.5)
    fprintf("while loop: scans acquired = %d\n", dq.numscansacquired)
end
fprintf("acquisition stopped with %d scans acquired\n", dq.numscansacquired);

while loop: scans acquired = 1000

capture a unique event in incoming data

acquire continuously until a specific condition is met. in this example, acquire until the signal equals or exceeds 1 v.

dq.scansavailablefcn = @(src,evt) stopwhenequalsorexceedsonev(src, evt);

configure the dataacquisition to acquire continuously. the listener detects the 1v event and calls stop.

start(dq, "continuous");

use pause in a loop to monitor the number of scans acquired for the duration of the acquisition. note that the status string displayed by the scansavailablefcn may appear before the last status string displayed by the while loop.

while dq.running
    pause(0.5)
    fprintf("while loop: scans acquired = %d\n", dq.numscansacquired)
end
fprintf("acquisition has terminated with %d scans acquired\n", dq.numscansacquired);
dq.scansavailablefcn = [];

while loop: scans acquired = 1000
detected voltage exceeds 1v: stopping acquisition
while loop: scans acquired = 2000
acquisition has terminated with 2000 scans acquired

function plotdataavailable(src, ~)
    [data, timestamps, ~] = read(src, src.scansavailablefcncount, "outputformat", "matrix");
    plot(timestamps, data);
end
function stopwhenequalsorexceedsonev(src, ~)
    [data, timestamps, ~] = read(src, src.scansavailablefcncount, "outputformat", "matrix");
    if any(data >= 1.0)
        disp('detected voltage exceeds 1v: stopping acquisition')
        % stop continuous acquisitions explicitly
        src.stop()
        plot(timestamps, data)
    else
        disp('continuing to acquire data')
    end
end
