Hi,
I am a PhD student looking at knee joint stiffness following total knee
arthroplasty and am wondering if anyone out there with experience in LabView
programming can help?
I trying to simultaneously acquire continuous data from a torque transducer
and a Biometrics electrogoniometer using LabView Express 7.0. Torque data is
collected directly through the USB port, the electrogoniometer data is being
acquired through a Data Translation DAQ module connected to the other USB
port.
I have written a LabView program which will acquire the data from both
channels using DT-LV Link VI's for the electrogoniometer data and
manufacturer supplied VI's for the torque data. I have successfully included
all these sub-VI's in a single loop and can write the data to a file but
cannot work out how to get the program to acquire the data absolutely
synchronously.
I can set the data acquisition rate for the electrogoniometer but the torque
data VI's are written to sample as quickly as the processing power will
allow. I need the torque displacement data to be synchronous but this is not
happening. I am not sure if the problem is just in writing to the file or in
the actual acquisition. I am wondering if I need to write the data to a
buffer before writing to file? My programming skills are limited and we have
no-one in our University who knows how to use LabView.
Has anyone got any ideas or has similar VI's which they might be prepared to
share?
Your hopefully,
