Can you suggest a way to minimise USB latency using data acquisition tool box with NI6211.

4 次查看(过去 30 天)
I want to try a real time control idea using a NI 6211 DAQ analogue I/O unit through USB. That means single inputs and outputs from within a MatLab loop; I cannot send/receive streams of data. I know the USB will make it pretty slow, but I just want to try out the idea. Can you suggest the best way to minimise the slowness?

Try using inputsinglescan and outputsinglescan inside your control loop.

We've tried that, but we have not got it working. We are using NI C-DAQ 9178 (input module 9234 and output module 9263). Matlab gives the warning: On this platform, notifications more frequent than 20 times per second may not be achievable. Error using Controller1test7 (line 93) The session contains channels that do not support on-demand operations using inputSingleScan and outputSingleScan. Only clocked operations using startForeground and startBackground can be done.
When I met Nick Gautier at Formula Student, he suggested that using the background to receive data and using a new data arrival to trigger a calculation and write the next data point. Attached is the code that fails to do that. Any suggestions?

Hello, It will surely be too late for a solution, but have you tried this : https://fr.mathworks.com/help/daq/examples/software-analog-triggered-data-capture.html ?
And to control the data output flow to control in real time you can use the event 'DataRequired' who would trigger a function sending adequat output signal to control your device. https://fr.mathworks.com/help/daq/examples/generate-continuous-and-background-signals-using-ni-devices.html
You can easly see how it's done in the software analog triggered data capture example.

There is a toolbox that seems to replace the Mathworks interface (Matlab DAQ) to the NI driver (NI-DAQmx). Maybe it can help people with a similar problem:
And an illustration of how much faster it is:

I'm glad you were successful!
I also hear new Matlab versions perform much better for digital in/out over USB. Any experiences with that?
