Re: Frequency measurement adc11-12

I've used a NCV1124 from ON semi that has a VR sensor input and outputs a square wave, I've scaled this output from 5.0v down to 2.2v with a resistor divider. The problem is when the gear stops rotating there is no input and picolog displays Hz / rpm that's unrealistic. Here is a little trick that I...

Re: Frequency measurement adc11-12

Hi, OK thanks for the reply, one thing that happens a lot is that when the signal stops the freq / rpm will show a high value as if there is interference of course 50Hz is a problem when using laptops and the AC power supply. I have always tried to observe sheilding and attention to grounding. Mostl...

Frequency measurement adc11-12

Hi typically what sort of signal is best for the freq measurement of approx 0 to 100Hz with the adc11 and PLW logging every 1 sec ? I have been using a signal is conditioned using a 74HCT schmitt trigger with a square wave output with an amplitude of 2.5v with mixed results, I dont know if this was ...

Mark wrote "you can take the volts versus time data and count the number of times the signal 'crosses' the mean value in a given time period. This should give a reasonable estimate of frequency" here your telling me how its done, but not how to do it by calling the appropriate Functions from the ADC...

In my 1st post I said I'm calling the adc1132.dll, the big picture is I'm trying to figure out how Freq measurements are done as there is no support for this topic in the LabView examples and help files that I can see nor much in the way of a juicy answer's in my other posts about what functions to ...

Sarah
I've put a lot of effort in this VI do you think that its possible to look at or provide a header file for the adc1132.dll . This header file will describe the various functions and what are the arguments and return value.

I'm not looking for the source code here but could you tell us how its done in Picolog when you call the dll , perhaps that will give some insight to the inner workings .... I'm thinking it must be one or more of the function names listed from the dll . you will need to write the code to calculate t...

Hi Sarah with regards to the LV examples and I've looked at them for the past few weeks, the adc_11single.vi examples works just fine for an Analog signal, however upon inspection of the routines in the "Call Library Function" under the menu "Function name" I don't see anything that stands out with ...

Frequency measurement with the ADC11-12

Hi All
reading through the help files I don't see any info with regards to configuration of the call dll file ... so how do you measure frequency ? if you have a sample VI's or some pointers to guide me I'd appreciate the help.

TIA
