Accessing PXI Analog input card over ethernet

[Siva68]

Hello Guys,

I want to access PXIe-6363 channel remotely from LabVIEW.  I don't know how to access the DAQ channel because the PXI system is on network. Could you please help me? Thanks.

Hi Siva68, there is no easy way such as Test Panel. When you would like to read a value of channel on remote PXI DAQ,

you must develop real-time application.

Hello Emboar,

Yes, That's what I want to do. The problem is, I don't know how to reference the Daq channels (i.e ai0...ain) on our system. We use veristand but I am new to veristand and custom devices programming. The DAQ module shows up on VesiStand but I don't know how to use it. 

I just want to try to read some values on the analog inputs channels with DAQmx VIs before I work on custom devices. Is there is a way to do it? Thanks.

Thanks,

Siva

From VeriStand? OK, it makes all simple.

On system definition file (SDF), you can add new DAQ hardware and channel as below.

Hello Emboar,

That's ok already. How do I use it inside my LabVIEW VI? How do I program it/configure it inside VI? That's what I don't know. Thanks.

Thanks,

Siva

Do you want to read DAQ channel in custom device? Just use DAQmx.

Hi Emboar,

If I knew, I wouldn't have posted this question eh? 😅 

The channels or device is not showing up. Also I can't create anything new. Where am I making mistakes? Thanks.

Are you developing your application on PXI RT?

I don't have RT PXI at this moment so cannot confirm but if I remember correctly,

you can see your device developing on PXI RT.

Hello Emboar,

Interesting. Yes, it is Ok with PXI RT. 😊

But not ok in the custome devices or normal project VIs. I tried use it the ip- address but something is wrong. Can't reference the channels.

Thanks and Regards,

Siva
