Start Trigger Synchronization with USB-6002

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to implement the Start Trigger Synchronization (Fig. 2) from this article: https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/21/signal-based-synchronization-of-analog-i... using two analog input channels of USB-6002 and I am getting an error 50103. From what I read, it could be that USB-6002 isn't capable of handling concurrent tasks but when I look at the specs of USB-6002 I cannot find this information. This is my VI:

I made sure to split the total 50kS/s into two (as the 50kS/s is specified as aggregated in the specs of USB-6002). Can anyone help me figure out my mistake here? Thank you very much for your help and take care,

 

David

Put both channels into a single task by specifying "Dev1/ai0:1".  This is a typical restriction across any DAQmx devices I can think of - only 1 AI "timing engine" available per device, so when you need to sample multiple channels, put them all in 1 task.

CAUTION! New LabVIEW adopters -- it's too late for me, but you *can* save yourself. The new subscription policy for LabVIEW puts NI's hand in your wallet for the rest of your working life. Are you sure you're *that* dedicated to LabVIEW? (Summary of my reasons in this post, part of a voluminous thread of mostly complaints starting here).
