cursor triggering waveform

is there any way to do this in LABVIEW (same as an oscilloscope ) applying  impulsion at a certain threshold because i don't know if my hardware (my PCI card) has an internal trigger

Hi nasnas,

 

is there any way to do this in LABVIEW (same as an oscilloscope ) applying impulsion at a certain threshold

You want to output a pulse when a certain threshold of your AI signal is crossed? Surely you can program such behaviour in LabVIEW!

 

i don't know if my hardware (my PCI card) has an internal trigger

Why don't you read the datasheet of your PCI card?

Best regards,

A cursor can be used like a control, i.e operated like a slider that can be polled. There are even events for cursor move, cursor release etc. The only thing the code gets out of it is figuring out the current/new "value" of the cursor, i.e. the x and y positions (and, for cursors locked to a plot, the index of the corresponding element of that plot.). Your code is free to use that information in any way it likes. So, yes, you write code where the user moves the position of cursors and the program acts accordingly.

How can i program such a behaviour in LabVIEW any idea ?!!

Actually i know that my card has an analog and digital triggering at source channel ,what i'm not sure about it is the operation of this trigger

Search for the threshold in your signal data, then do whatever you like to do with that data…

 

what i'm not sure about it is the operation of this trigger 

Again: read the manual of your PCI card!

I'm affraid that i tried to do the triggering with cursor but it doesn't work i'm now searching for a way to apply a pulse with negative polarity to my waveform and with a threshold 290mv.

Hi nasnas,

 

i tried to do the triggering with cursor but it doesn't work

The cursor on its own will not do any triggering: so what have you tried?

 

a way to apply a pulse with negative polarity to my waveform and with a threshold 290mv.

Define "pulse with negative polarity"…

How do you want to "apply" that pulse to your waveform?

And how is a "threshold of 290 mV" involved in applying a pulse to a waveform???

what i mean by pulse it's the same operation as an oscilloscope because i've already tried to display my signal in the oscilloscope and when i apply a pulse at 290MV ,i can see my signal in a stable way

Hi nasnas,

Which "operation" are you talking about?

 

display my signal in the oscilloscope and when i apply a pulse at 290MV ,i can see my signal in a stable way

Now you are talking about Megavolts?

When and how do you apply a pulse? How is that pulse related to "my signal"?

 

You really need to learn to describe your problem in a more clear way!

Best regards,

Obviously you didn't get what i'm saying because you didn't use an oscilloscope i guess, because when you're doing an acquisition with a probe and you get a waveform you can use the options of a trigger on the oscilloscope (a pulse at a certain voltage and you can choose neither the positive or the negative polarity) it was a mistake i'm always talking about millivolt .  I hope you can understand what i'm talking about .
