Overview
The EVaRT system can accept analog data from external devices and synchronize it with video motion data.
Analog cards known to work with EVaRT software include the following
A-D configurations and the necessary NIDAQ software. EVaRT will support one or two of the devices listed in Table B-1. The devices must have
the same resolution (12-Bit or 16-Bit). Other NI Analog A-D input configurations should work but have not been tested.:
Table B-1. A-D Configurations Used with EVaRT Software
A-D Configuration
NIDAQ Software
NI USB-6218, 32-Channel, 16-Bit (up to 6
USB devices)
NIDAQ 8.3 or later, EVaRT 5.0.3 or later
NI PCI-6071E, 64-Channel, 12-Bit
Traditional NIDAQ 7.0 > 7.4, EVaRT 4.4
NI PCI-6071E, 64-Channel, 12-Bit (higher
performance)
NIDAQ MX 8.0 or later, EVaRT 5.0
NI DAQ Card-6024E, 16-Channel, 12-Bit
Traditional NIDAQ 7.4, EVaRT 4.6
NI PCI 6254, 32-Channel, 16-Bit
(up to 2 cards)
NIDAQ MX 8.0 or later, EVaRT 5.0
NI USB-6259, 32-Channel, 16-Bit
(up to 2 USB devices)
NIDAQ 8.1 or later, EVaRT 5.0.2
Note:
If you are using NIDAQ MX 8.0 or 8.1 versions and if you are collecting
data for only one channel in EVaRT, you will need to install a jumper wire
from screw terminals PFI 7 to PFI 0 on the A-D interconnect box. This
