How to get raw ADD counts

[jimwarburt]

I have a NI9234 and would like to get the raw ADD counts. Is this possible to do without reversing the scaling?

Sure,
Just read "Unscaled" or read "Raw".  Change the DAQmx read VI to either one of these to get unscaled data. (Raw is under "More")
Check out this example VI http://sine.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/1611

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I am using Measurement Studio 8.1
It does sound like what I am looking for, the actual count from the AD. As I am using a 24 bit AD I would expect to have an Int32 holding the count for each sample.

I think this person wanted to do the same thing.  The raw codes should be unsigned 32, I believe.  It's  pretty much the same thing as LabVIEW, just using a different version of the read command.
