Data acquisition from a 250N Load cell

[Manasa]

Hi ,

I am very new at using the Labview.I am using Labview 6i(PCI 6052E).The load cell(250N) is connected to a pump.The pump has 2 bags.One of them is filled with water and the other is empty.I want to load the bag which is empty from the bag filled with water using the pump.The load cell is connected to the bag which is filled with water.I am trying to aquire a volatge signal continously from a load cell and display it on a chart.
My program has no errors and I am able to run the progam.But it is not aquiring any signal.Could u please help me out.Attached is my code for the same .

Hi Manasa,

Make sure you are handling your errors in your code. You can do this by wiring your error clusters through your VI and then terminate them in a General Error Handler VI. If you are doing this, make sure that your device works in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). Do this by opening a test panel and verifying that you can get a known voltage (like a battery) to read correctly. If you can successfully get a voltage in MAX, try running one of the example programs. You can find them at Help » Find Examples..., then browse to hardware input and output. If you can get an example program that is similar to what you are trying to do to work, try comparing your code to the example.

Please post back if you have any questions. Have a great weekend!
