Hardware

  • NI-9214

Software

  • LabVIEW
  • Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX)

Issue Details

  • I am taking test measurement with NI-9214 using NI-MAX test panel, I am unable to identify whether the measurement is taken in High-Resolution Mode or High-Speed Mode.
  • I do not see the option to change the operating mode in NI-MAX test panel, how do I change the operating mode.

Solution

NI-MAX test panel is intended for troubleshooting of hardware without programming. Therefore, more advanced configuration can only be done programmatically in ADE.

The operating mode of C series module can be determine and configured programmatically in LabVIEW. Find out more about Enable High-Speed or High-Resolution Mode for C Series Modules.

Additional Information

  • For the NI 9207, NI 9208, NI 9209, NI 9212, NI 9213, NI USB-9213, NI 9214, NI 9216, NI 9217, NI 9219, and NI 9226 in CompactDAQ, the AI.ADCTimingMode attribute/property is set to High Resolution by default. To increase the conversion rate, set this attribute/property to High Speed.
