DAQ

Once an event is detected, ANSVIS Server will send signal to control the DAQ's digital output in the same network

To setup a DAQ trigger:

  1. You can scan for the DAQ device address in the network or manually add it by entering its SN or IP and authentication info
tip

Manually adding the DAQ is recommended because scanning might not always work and will take longer to complete if the network is large.

  1. Once the DAQ is found, its corresponding digital output (DO) will be listed in the DAQ drop-down list. Select your desired DO

  2. From the DAQ Action function, you can define how the selected Digital Output (DO) responds when an event is detected:

    1. Turn On: The DO will be turned ON.
    2. Turn Off: The DO will be turned OFF.
    3. Toggle: The DO will switch between ON and OFF with each detected event.
    4. Turn On for a Certain Time: The DO will be turned ON for a set duration (X seconds). If another event occurs within the last 5 seconds of this duration, the timer resets, and the DO remains ON for an additional X seconds before turning OFF.

  3. Invert State option: When enabled, this option reverses the logic level of the digital output. For example, a "Turn On" action will output a LOW signal instead of HIGH (Turn Off), which is useful for devices requiring active-low control

  4. Click Save to apply the trigger.

Caution
  1. The ANS DAQ is a physical hardware device, so each Digital Output (DO) pin can only work one way at a time. Creating multiple tasks that control the same DO pin with different settings may lead to conflicts or unpredictable behavior. To avoid this, ensure that all tasks sharing the same DO pin use consistent configuration settings (action type, duration).
  2. If the DAQ's network is changed, you'll need to remove and reconfigure the trigger
