Re: DAQ1500_0 loosing zero?

How good are your load cells? All load cells drift (change offset) over time, and cheaper ones can drift relatively quickly. The expectation on these load cells is that you are able to re-zero the system between readings. If this is not possible in your system, we recommend investing in better load ...

Re: Numbers Returned

Readings from the DAQ1500 should be within +/-0.5 at gain 1, or +/-0.00390625 at gain 128. How are you getting a reading of 6170.2? The conversion of DAQ1500 readings to your units is defined by your calibration math, as it will be slightly different for each load cell you connect. I see from your p...

Re: Detecting a knock on a door

You may have luck using an accelerometer, such as the MOT0100, to directly detect vibrations in the door. You would have to attach the sensor to the door near the hinges to prevent the sensor cable interfering with the operation of the door.

Re: DAQ1400 Frequency Input error 0X14 after March 11 update

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

This is a mostly cosmetic issue with the Control Panel example, and the example should continue to work as intended, despite the reported error.

That said, we have fixed the issue, pending the next release.

Re: Sample project to connect MOT2002

There is a Code Samples tab on the MOT2002 page that allows you to select a programming language and the Hub you are connecting to, which will give you code specific to your use-case to get started.

Re: 1047 encoder: setDataRate(50) is 20% slower than requested

To clear up some confusion, 96Hz is not a multiple of 8ms.

Achievable data rates for this device would be:
8ms: 125Hz
16ms: 62.5Hz
24ms: 41.667Hz
32ms: 31.25Hz
40ms: 25Hz
48ms: 20.833Hz
56ms: 17.857Hz
64ms: 15.625Hz
72ms: 13.889Hz
80ms: 12.5Hz
etc.

Re: 1047 encoder: setDataRate(50) is 20% slower than requested

The 1047, like many USB Phidgets based on older designs, is forced to have a DataInterval of multiples of 8ms.

Re: Error 7050: Phidget Frequency Counter Data Inteval not settable

A fix has been made to FrequencyCounterStart.vi to call the correct DataInterval function, pending release. Thanks for pointing it out!

In the meantime, you can use the FrequencyCounterSetDataInterval.vi from the FrequencyCounter palette.
