The device driver for the National Instruments USB 6008 AD convertor is extended. It is now possible to determine the minimum and the maximum of an input during the dwell-time.

Version 5.2 of RadiMation has this improvement included in the device driver for the NI USB 6008. This has it's effect on the assignment of the AD-Convertor channels as they are known in RadiMation. The new assignment of the channels is now:

  • Channel 1: Maximum of the 1st AD-convertor input since the last measurement
  • Channel 2: Maximum of the 2nd AD-convertor input since the last measurement
  • Channel 3: Maximum of the 3rd AD-convertor input since the last measurement
  • Channel 4: Maximum of the 4th AD-convertor input since the last measurement
  • Channel 5: Minimum of the 1st AD-convertor input since the last measurement
  • Channel 6: Minimum of the 2nd AD-convertor input since the last measurement
  • Channel 7: Minimum of the 3rd AD-convertor input since the last measurement
  • Channel 8: Minimum of the 4th AD-convertor input since the last measurement

The device driver is now performing a measurement every 100 ms, and the minimum and maximum of all performed measurements will be maintained. At the end of the measurement, RadiMation will read out the values, and the minimum and the maximum will be reset. In combination with this device driver, it is now possible to signal changes in the output status of the EUT that are shorter than the dwell-time.
