1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 Profiles. 2 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000 Today we discuss about Flex Logger. 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000 It is basically provided by National Instruments. 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:17,000 So if you want to install Lex Luger inside your PC, first you need an eye level view. 5 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000 Basically, this flex logger is available for 64 bit only, so in the NE, pm. 6 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000 And I package manager. 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,000 You just need to enter flex as you see. 8 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:34,000 Here. 9 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,000 This is the flex logger. 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:44,000 It is an application software for quick sensor configuration and data logging of mixed signal to verify 11 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000 electromechanical systems, all without programming. 12 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000 Basically it is using. 13 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000 And I n g next generation LabVIEW. 14 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000 As you see in my system, the latest version is installed. 15 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000 64 bit. 16 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000 In your case, there is a install option. 17 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000 Is there. 18 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000 Okay. 19 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000 So first you just install this flex logger inside your PC. 20 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:21,000 Now I just go to start and just open any flex logger as you see. 21 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000 I just click on it. 22 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000 Right now I'm just. 23 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,000 Creating. 24 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,000 Data logger. 25 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:41,000 Or you can say flex logger for National Instruments hardware that is near USB 6001. 26 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000 You just need to connect directly. 27 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000 It will take some time, as you see. 28 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000 So I just close this. 29 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,000 As you see over here, this is the first window when you just open Flex logger. 30 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:09,000 Right now I just connect a device that is near USB 6001. 31 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:18,000 As you see, when I just connect this and I USB 6001 device with my PC, right now I just need not to 32 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000 open this one. 33 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000 I just close this. 34 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000 Click on Data Logging project. 35 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000 You just need to enter the name right now. 36 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000 In this case. 37 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000 I just connect. 38 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,000 My. 39 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000 Near USB 6001 with a potentiometer. 40 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000 As you see in the window. 41 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,000 Over here. 42 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000 This is my. 43 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000 Five volt supply that is available on the NIST 6001. 44 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000 I'm using analog input port zero. 45 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000 This is my potentiometer over here. 46 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000 This is my ground and green one is my signal. 47 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000 Okay I'm using it in differential mode. 48 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000 So just put the name let's say port. 49 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,000 Create the project. 50 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000 Over here. 51 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000 Right now it automatically configuring the device. 52 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,000 As you see. 53 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000 Over here. 54 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,000 The device serial number is 0184268. 55 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:41,000 It will automatically show you all the details of the device. 56 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000 Okay, so inside this flex logger as you see over here. 57 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000 General specifications are there. 58 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000 Logging specifications are there. 59 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,000 Specifications are there. 60 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000 And the screen if you want to just show. 61 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000 The output. 62 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000 So first I just explain you about the device. 63 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000 As you see over here, there are total eight analog input pin I stands for. 64 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000 Analog input zero. 65 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000 Analog input one. 66 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000 Right now it is not configured. 67 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:23,000 And over here you can check or configure the acquisition rate as you see. 68 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000 Flow rate one hertz medium. 69 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000 100 and fast one kilohertz. 70 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,000 Okay. 71 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000 You can configure using over here manually. 72 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000 And analog output is there. 73 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000 As you see, analog output channel is there. 74 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:51,000 There are two channels A0 001 and in the digital pins, as you see over here, software time ten hertz. 75 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000 And there are in the port zero. 76 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000 We have total line zero two. 77 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000 Line seven pin total eight pins are there. 78 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000 In port one we have four pins are there zero, two, three. 79 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000 And again software time ten hertz. 80 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,000 And we have digital input output port two. 81 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,000 As you see again over here. 82 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000 As you see only one pin is there. 83 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:25,000 So right now I just configure this analog input zero because I just connect in my hardware settings. 84 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:32,000 So you need to just select right now pin zero is selected over here automatically. 85 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000 Now you need to select. 86 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,000 The sensor output in this case potentiometer provide me voltage. 87 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000 You can select any one of these. 88 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,000 As you see, acceleration is their analog angular position, is their angular velocity, is their current, 89 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000 is their post linear position. 90 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:53,000 Linear velocity. 91 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000 Pressure. 92 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Sound pressure. 93 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000 Temperature. 94 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:57,000 Torque. 95 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Voltage is over there. 96 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000 And you can also customize your sensor output. 97 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000 So right now I'm just selecting voltage. 98 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000 As you see over here in this case. 99 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000 You just need to select which. 100 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000 Range is suitable for you. 101 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:25,000 As you see, kilowatt is there, volt is there, Millivolt is there, Microvolt is there. 102 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Right now I am just selecting volt only and over here you can set the range. 103 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,000 It is in default case it is minus ten to plus ten volt. 104 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000 Right now I am just selecting it. 105 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:45,000 Minimum is zero and maximum is let's say five volt okay. 106 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:54,000 So as you see over here because in this case hardware, in the hardware case I am just providing maximum 107 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000 five volt and ground is zero okay. 108 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:04,000 So over here you can select the type of scale like linear sensitive cable two point. 109 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,000 It is up to you. 110 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,000 Right now I am just selecting linear low volt per volt. 111 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000 You can change also it you can also put offset value over here. 112 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000 And this is the hardware settings. 113 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000 You can make it differential or differential single ended. 114 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000 Right now I am just using differential mode just. 115 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,000 Done, place on done, or if you want to raise a alarm. 116 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,000 At any value you can select from here like price, above value or below value. 117 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000 There are some options you can select right now. 118 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000 I am not using this, so just done. 119 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Right now it is. 120 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,000 Configured. 121 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000 As you see, automatically it is taking values from sensor. 122 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000 Right now I'm just changing the values as you see. 123 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000 Right now it is minus. 124 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Or you can say ground zero value and. 125 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,000 Now it is maximum 4.88. 126 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:05,000 Okay. 127 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,000 So this is the hardware configuration or general specification. 128 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000 Now I just go to logging specification over here. 129 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,000 When you just install Lex Luger it automatically create a. 130 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000 Folder inside your documents. 131 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000 As you see Flex logger and inside the file name is data. 132 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Right now you just name it according to your file condition or according to your application. 133 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,000 Right now I'm just using this one. 134 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:37,000 Okay. 135 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:46,000 Over here there are some logging options available like backup file segment file export data into CSV 136 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:54,000 file up to uh, which uh speed you need or what sampling rate you need. 137 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000 So over here you can configure it. 138 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000 So right now I just. 139 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,000 Go to login trigger. 140 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,000 There are starting triggers when you start that task. 141 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:15,000 When you change a value, change when absolute time and again there is stopping triggers. 142 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,000 Also when you your task stops channel value change test time elapsed. 143 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000 It is up to you. 144 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,000 Right now I'm just making default value okay. 145 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:33,000 And over here you can set the login data at which what speed you need okay. 146 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000 So right now just make it same. 147 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:38,000 Then. 148 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000 Screen over here right now. 149 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000 I want to check the data. 150 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000 So as you see just select. 151 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,000 Lock up. 152 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000 I've just put over here. 153 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000 And you just need to select. 154 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000 So device. 155 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000 Selected, click over here. 156 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000 And right now I just run it. 157 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,000 So right now it is taking like live feed as you see. 158 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000 We just check on the right side? 159 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,000 You also. 160 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000 Make it. 161 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,000 Like this. 162 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,000 Like this. 163 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000 You can change. 164 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,000 It is up to you. 165 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,000 In which form you just need your data. 166 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000 You just add it from here. 167 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000 Let's say I'm just changing the value. 168 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000 Right now it is maximum. 169 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:53,000 Then. 170 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000 Minimum. 171 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000 So it is up to you. 172 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,000 So this is right now. 173 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000 Data is logging. 174 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000 I'm not just stopping it. 175 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000 Stop the graph also. 176 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000 Now check the data. 177 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,000 So just go to the document file over here. 178 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,000 Lex Luger is there. 179 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000 There is a delta, and over here there is the data files. 180 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,000 At what time? 181 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,000 You just open it. 182 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,000 Create it. 183 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Let's say this is my last data file. 184 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000 I just open it. 185 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000 It saves the data in PDMS file. 186 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,000 1113. 187 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000 11:33 p.m.. 188 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,000 I'm just creating this log file. 189 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,000 Okay, so this is how you can create and this data. 190 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,000 We just check inside the I can mix okay. 191 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,000 So over here we just got the complete data inside. 192 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,000 Yes. 193 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,000 Over here. 194 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:12,000 Check. 195 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000 The data or you just open. 196 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,000 Go to the file inside the document. 197 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,000 Lex Luger. 198 00:12:25,000 -->
