I have an optical sensor and two hall effect how can I data log?

[ree]

I have built a test rig which consists of a gyroscope.  The gyro is spun up by and electric motor.

I need to measure the speed of rotation.  I’m using an optical sensor and two Hall Effect sensors.  I would like to record the output of these and I would like to build in some redundancy because there will be another bigger rig that will require more measurement.  E.g. vibration.

I’m new to data logging so I’m not sure which hardware I should be getting.

Thanks

analog inputs are the most universal.  with software such as the functions included in the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite, you can analyze the analog input channel which is connected to your hall effect and optical sensors for frequency and speed.  Vibration specific input cards will power accelerometers.  with the speed and angular position sensors (hall effect and optical) you can combine this information with your vibration sensors to determine the movement of the device with respect to position and speed.  These order analysis functions are part of the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite. 

What is more is that the Suite includes an assistant.  The assistant allows for the capture and datalogging of all analog and digital inputs as well as frequency and vibration analysis.  This is all configurable and does not require any LabVIEW programming.  If you decide you want LabVIEW programming, all the functions are there to support LabVIEW as well.
