Note: The Flexlogger project attached has been created using the FlexLogger 2021 R2 version. You'll need the same or a later version to open it. It won't load for any previous versions.
Description
Description-Separate-1This example contains an NI FlexLogger project, configuration file for simulated hardware, examples to control NI FlexLogger via Python, and getting started documentation.
The Mixed Measurement Project (Mixed Measurement Project.flxproject) is a FlexLogger project that provides a reference for taking voltage, current, temperature, and digital measurements through NI FlexLogger and contains the following predefined FlexLogger documents and files:
- Channel Specification (.flxio)
- Logging Specification (.flxcfg)
- Screen (.flxscr)
- Test Specification (.flxtest) — A default FlexLogger file that is unchanged for this project.

FlexLogger Screen
Note: The Mixed Measurement Project has been configured to acquire data from specific voltage transducers, pressure sensors, thermocouples, and digital lines. If different sensors are present, the configuration will need to be modified to reflect the correct sensor configuration.
