Today we discuss about Flex Logger.
It is basically provided by National Instruments.
So if you want to install Lex Luger inside your PC, first you need an eye level view.
Basically, this flex logger is available for 64 bit only, so in the NE, pm.
And I package manager.
You just need to enter flex as you see.
Here.
This is the flex logger.
It is an application software for quick sensor configuration and data logging of mixed signal to verify
electromechanical systems, all without programming.
Basically it is using.
And I n g next generation LabVIEW.
As you see in my system, the latest version is installed.
64 bit.
In your case, there is a install option.
Is there.
Okay.
So first you just install this flex logger inside your PC.
Now I just go to start and just open any flex logger as you see.
I just click on it.
Right now I'm just.
Creating.
Data logger.
Or you can say flex logger for National Instruments hardware that is near USB 6001.
You just need to connect directly.
It will take some time, as you see.
So I just close this.
As you see over here, this is the first window when you just open Flex logger.
Right now I just connect a device that is near USB 6001.
As you see, when I just connect this and I USB 6001 device with my PC, right now I just need not to
open this one.
I just close this.
Click on Data Logging project.
You just need to enter the name right now.
In this case.
I just connect.
My.
Near USB 6001 with a potentiometer.
As you see in the window.
Over here.
This is my.
Five volt supply that is available on the NIST 6001.
I'm using analog input port zero.
This is my potentiometer over here.
This is my ground and green one is my signal.
Okay I'm using it in differential mode.
So just put the name let's say port.
Create the project.
Over here.
Right now it automatically configuring the device.
As you see.
Over here.
The device serial number is 0184268.
It will automatically show you all the details of the device.
Okay, so inside this flex logger as you see over here.
General specifications are there.
Logging specifications are there.
Specifications are there.
And the screen if you want to just show.
The output.
So first I just explain you about the device.
As you see over here, there are total eight analog input pin I stands for.
Analog input zero.
Analog input one.
Right now it is not configured.
And over here you can check or configure the acquisition rate as you see.
Flow rate one hertz medium.
100 and fast one kilohertz.
Okay.
You can configure using over here manually.
And analog output is there.
As you see, analog output channel is there.
There are two channels A0 001 and in the digital pins, as you see over here, software time ten hertz.
And there are in the port zero.
We have total line zero two.
Line seven pin total eight pins are there.
In port one we have four pins are there zero, two, three.
And again software time ten hertz.
And we have digital input output port two.
As you see again over here.
As you see only one pin is there.
So right now I just configure this analog input zero because I just connect in my hardware settings.
So you need to just select right now pin zero is selected over here automatically.
Now you need to select.
The sensor output in this case potentiometer provide me voltage.
You can select any one of these.
As you see, acceleration is their analog angular position, is their angular velocity, is their current,
is their post linear position.
Linear velocity.
Pressure.
Sound pressure.
Temperature.
Torque.
Voltage is over there.
And you can also customize your sensor output.
So right now I'm just selecting voltage.
As you see over here in this case.
You just need to select which.
Range is suitable for you.
As you see, kilowatt is there, volt is there, Millivolt is there, Microvolt is there.
Right now I am just selecting volt only and over here you can set the range.
It is in default case it is minus ten to plus ten volt.
Right now I am just selecting it.
Minimum is zero and maximum is let's say five volt okay.
So as you see over here because in this case hardware, in the hardware case I am just providing maximum
five volt and ground is zero okay.
So over here you can select the type of scale like linear sensitive cable two point.
It is up to you.
Right now I am just selecting linear low volt per volt.
You can change also it you can also put offset value over here.
And this is the hardware settings.
You can make it differential or differential single ended.
Right now I am just using differential mode just.
Done, place on done, or if you want to raise a alarm.
At any value you can select from here like price, above value or below value.
There are some options you can select right now.
I am not using this, so just done.
Right now it is.
Configured.
As you see, automatically it is taking values from sensor.
Right now I'm just changing the values as you see.
Right now it is minus.
Or you can say ground zero value and.
Now it is maximum 4.88.
Okay.
So this is the hardware configuration or general specification.
Now I just go to logging specification over here.
When you just install Lex Luger it automatically create a.
Folder inside your documents.
As you see Flex logger and inside the file name is data.
Right now you just name it according to your file condition or according to your application.
Right now I'm just using this one.
Okay.
Over here there are some logging options available like backup file segment file export data into CSV
file up to uh, which uh speed you need or what sampling rate you need.
So over here you can configure it.
So right now I just.
Go to login trigger.
There are starting triggers when you start that task.
When you change a value, change when absolute time and again there is stopping triggers.
Also when you your task stops channel value change test time elapsed.
It is up to you.
Right now I'm just making default value okay.
And over here you can set the login data at which what speed you need okay.
So right now just make it same.
Then.
Screen over here right now.
I want to check the data.
So as you see just select.
Lock up.
I've just put over here.
And you just need to select.
So device.
Selected, click over here.
And right now I just run it.
So right now it is taking like live feed as you see.
We just check on the right side?
You also.
Make it.
Like this.
You can change.
It is up to you.
In which form you just need your data.
You just add it from here.
Let's say I'm just changing the value.
Right now it is maximum.
Then.
Minimum.
So it is up to you.
So this is right now.
Data is logging.
I'm not just stopping it.
Stop the graph also.
Now check the data.
So just go to the document file over here.
Lex Luger is there.
There is a delta, and over here there is the data files.
At what time?
You just open it.
Create it.
Let's say this is my last data file.
I just open it.
It saves the data in PDMS file.
1113.
11:33 p.m..
I'm just creating this log file.
Okay, so this is how you can create and this data.
We just check inside the I can mix okay.
So over here we just got the complete data inside.
Yes.
Over here.
Check.
The data or you just open.
Go to the file inside the document.
Lex Luger.
Data.
You can just select.
Pies.
So here.
Or over here.
This is the data available inside this.
So just if you want to test this data, you just need to.
Right now the length of data is 6521.
Okay.
Right now, I'm just need to run this data.
Select channel.
Okay.
You can edit your data over here different for different values.
These are some values.
Okay.
Like 4.8.
4.8.
Over here.
I'm just.
Changing over here 1.51.5.
So this is how you can use flex logger.
And.
U r d I.
Academics.
So this is all about Lex Luger.
Thank you.
