3.6 Card-level Configuration
Card-level configuration commands are performed on an individual I/O card. Any settings are applied to
all channels on the card. Instructions on how to determine the appropriate values for the settings is
beyond the scope of this manual, see the “System 7000 Instruction Manual”, the StrainSmart help system,
or contact the Vishay Micro-Measurements application engineering department for assistance.
All Cards
Query Card Type: If you have a scanner with a variety of cards, you may wish to query the
system to determine which card type (strain gage, high level, thermocouple, or LVDT) is in
each slot.
LabVIEW Query Card Information VI
Active X GetCardInformation method
Low-level Get Card Information command
Reset the Card: Resets the configuration values to the default state.
LabVIEW Use the ResetAimCards parameter to the Initialize vi to
reset all cards. You may also call the Reset VI.
Active X ResetCard method.
Low-level Reset Card command
Programming tip: This command should be used to set a card (and its channels) back to
the default states. This can be a useful shortcut in your program.
Strain Gage Cards
Configure the excitation settings.
LabVIEW Configure Strain Gage Card Excitation VI
Active X ConfigureStrainGageCardExcitation method
Low-level Set Excitation command
Excitation Output Enable/Disable command
(The excitation level should be set before the excitation
output is enabled.)
High Level Cards
Configure the excitation settings.
LabVIEW Configure High Level Card VI
Active X ConfigureHighLevelCardExcitation method
Low-level Set Excitation command
Excitation Output Enable/Disable command
(The excitation level should be set before the excitation
output is enabled.)
Thermocouple Cards
No card-level configuration
