DAQ Cards
Our DAQ F/T System works with DAQ cards we specify
or with differentially-ended or single-ended analog
inputs on your DAQ hardware; however, differentially-
ended inputs are preferred for the best noise immunity.
Note:
The DAQ F/T outputs amplified, conditioned strain gage signals
to a data acquisition card—not the resolved force and torque
data. ATI software (included) running on the host computer
performs computations to convert the strain gage voltage data
into force/torque data. You must acquire all six strain gage
channels in order to calculate any of the forces and torques.
ATI Supports the Following Bus-Types:
e PCI
e PC| Express
e CompactPCl
e PC Card (PCMCIA)
。 USB
Contact ATI regarding other bus-types. Most bus-types
are available in 16-bit resolution.
Note:
Most laptop computers and PC Card (PCMCIA) peripherals do
not have provisions for proper signal grounding. External
grounding may be necessary to reduce some of the resulting
additional noise.

DAQ Software
ATI provides DAQ F/T software components that you
can use to build your application as well as a sample
application program. The software components include
an ActiveX server, a C library and a .NET Assembly
described below.
Software Component Features
The .NET Assembly ATICombinedDAQFT is a Windows
.NET Assembly that performs the core operations of
the DAQ F/T system, including:
e |oading calibration files.
e configuring the transducer system, including tool
transformations.
e reading and converting transducer signals from
NI-DAQmx-compatible DAQ systems into forces
and torques.
ATICombinedDAQFT can be used in any development
environment that supports .NET. For non-Windows
operating systems, and DAQ cards not supported by NI-
DAQmx, ATl provides a C library and ActiveX Server
which perform system configuration, and calculate F/T
values from voltages read from your DAQ system.
Application Program
The Windows DAQ F/T application program displays
graphical and numerical force and torque output for
Windows 2000 and later Windows™ operating
systems. Visual Studio 2003 source code is provided as
an aid in creating additional application programs. This
program only works with NI-DAQmx-compatible boards.
