Re: Selecting a channel on a 1048_2B

Channel is only checked when Open() is called, so changing the channel number while the channel is still open won't have any effect unless you close and reopen. But if you want to use both channels, it's usually easier to simply open both channels at the start of the program using different variable...

Re: 1046 0 hub with 4 load cells

Press the windows key and type "about" and click on the "About my computer" entry that comes up. In the screen that pops up, Look for "system type" under "device specifications". If it says "64-bit operating system" you should use the 64 bit installer.

Re: VCP1001 Resolution

The VCP1001 is oversampled, so the effective resolution is much higher than the base 10-bit resolution of the ADC. We recognized that this was confusing so we removed it from the product name, but the enclosure couldn't be changed for our existing stock.

Re: 1046 0 hub with 4 load cells

There's no way to save the calibration, but you could copy the gain and offset values that result from the calibration and paste them in to save time. Generally we recommend re-zeroing for a new offset value every time you use the load cell for best results. We don't have support for live graphing m...

Re: 1046 0 hub with 4 load cells

For a quick solution, you can graph through the Phidget control panel:

Make sure to perform the calibration for each channel first, and click the graphing button beside the "weight" instead of the "Voltage Ratio".

Re: Phidgets and Labview 2024

There is still support for LabVIEW, it's just that all the examples are inside the VI tree. I was able to get my VCP1000 working with the "VoltageInput" example with no modifications. Make sure "isHubPort" is set to "No", because we want to be opening the VoltageInput c...

Re: Rescale Factor

If you're talking about the screen with the very large numbers in this video, it was just a quick program written when that video was filmed and we don't have the code for it available. You should be able to do the same thing in the positionController control panel example though.

Re: Help!

The file paths in that error message look kind of strange. Are you trying to run the solution from inside the .rar archive? You need to unpack the files before opening the .sln.

Re: Motor encoder shaft removable?

The rear encoder shafts are not removable. It's theoretically possible to cut off the rear shaft but you'd have to be very careful not to put too much sideways force on the shaft or you could damage the motor internals. You would also have to ensure no debris from the cutting makes it's way into the...

Re: Help using InterfaceKit 8/8/8 1013_3B

If the work computer (Phidget21) is the one that has the Phidgets physically attached, then you're limited to the 1018_2B and other older Phidgets. You can have your personal computer be the one that actually runs the program, you'd just have to install Phidget21 (ideally same version number) in ord...
