Time Stamp DAQmx Sample Clock with NI-Sync Using LabVIEW

[Ryan_F]

Overview
The example VI shows how to use NI Sync,  along with a Timing & Synchronization board, to Time Stamp the sample clock a DAQmx task.

Description
The program creates an analog input voltage task with a continuous sample clock, along with an NI Sync driver session. After the tasks are started, the NI Sync driver will time stamp the sample clock of the DAQmx Read VI and the data, along with the matching time stamp, will be built into an XY graph.

Requirements

Software：

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
• DAQmx(or compatible)
• NI-Sync 3.0 (or compatible)

Hardware：

• PXI Chassis
• PXI M-Series or E-Series DAQ board
• PXI-6682 Timing & Sync board

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Select the Timing & Sync board you would like to use. Make sure that the board is in the timing slot (slot 2 ) of your PXI chassis.
2. Select the DAQmx board you would like to use.
3. Select the Sample Clock Terminal of your DAQ board.
4. Select the sample rate of your DAQ board that you would like to use.
5. Select the number of samples you would like to read. This will also be the number of time stamps you will receive.
