Do PCI 6259 support Simulink

[uÖzkan]

 i want to develop real-time application on PCI 6259 with Matlab / Simulink but i don^t know this device support Simulink or not.

Hi umutozkan...

Thanks for the post and I hope your well today.

Firstly you'll need either the MATLAB® Data Acquisition Toolbox, which can be used with NI-DAQmx. OR Simulation Interface Toolkit (SIT) which default generates DAQmx VIs to communicate with the DAQ board. It seems for your post your using Matlab, so option 1. 

 The Data Acquisition Toolbox version 2.12 supports DAQ hardware that uses either the NI-DAQmx or Traditional NI-DAQ driver software.  MATLAB supports NI-DAQmx version 8.5 or higher and Traditional NI-DAQ version 7.3 using this toolbox.

The Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.8 version was made specifically to work with NI-DAQmx 7.5 and Traditional NI-DAQ 7.3. The older versions of the Data Acquisition Toolbox for MATLAB® supported earlier versions of Traditional NI-DAQ only.

IThe Mathworks, Inc. website has the most updated support information regarding NI-DAQmx.

All see this long forum post,

Use M-Series cards with DAQmx in Matlab!

It's seems as a software version problem but i could't understand clearly   this card can be able to used with Simulink for developing Real-Time Application.

Hi umutozkan,

Any device supported by MATLAB's Data Acquisition Toolbox can also be use in Simulink.

The list of National Instruments devices supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox is here 

http://www.mathworks.com/products/daq/supportedio14005.html

If you don't see your device search for it by name in the search box on the top right of The MathWorks web site as often support for a new device can be added between official MATLAB releases by a simple edit to a text file. If you still don't see the device fill out the request form at the bottom of that web page.

Regarding using Simulink with DAQ devices, there is quite a bit of documentation on using Data Acquisition Toolbox in Simulink. Here are some suggested starting points:

Hope this helps.

hi: may i ask you a question. I want use the daq to get the data for the simulink and do the real-time research, all things have been done  but when i run the labview there is a error:Requested value is not a supported value for this property!  how i solve this problem? thank you so much!

Hello xuyao,

Could you give a little more information on the nature of the error. Is it specifying a specific VI as the source? Is there a listing of the specified value and the valid range for the property? Is there a description of which property this is referring to?

Without this information it would be very difficult to troubleshoot this issue.

would you please look at this two pitcture for me, the problem is like this. thank you so much!

Hello xuyao,

Are you using a USB DAQ device. If so, and you are attemplting to perfom a hardware timed single point operation you would get this error.

Is this the case? If so you are attempting a unsupported operation on your device and should instead be using a PCI M Series or PCIe X Series device instead.

[xuyao]

yes, I was using the DAQ USB 6215.  so I understand now.  in your opinion, I should buy a  PCI M SERIES? thank you! 

[Dan_K]

Hello xuyao,

Again, this is only necessary if you are trying to perform hardware timed single point operations. If this isn't the case a M Series device will not solve your problem.
