analog waveforms in Field Point

Hi all,
I have a Field Point 2000 which reads a load cell. I can display the readings in LabView using a waveform graph, but it seems the results are only coming out as a digital output, i.e., as a square wave. Is there any way of reding this output as a analog waveform. Does anyone know any function or vi that allows me to do so?
Thanks a lot,
Adriana

Hello Adriana,

You are using the FP-2000 controler in conjunction with which module to read data from your load cell?

Hi Serges,
Well, basically what I have is the following:
I had this load cell already plugged into a signal conditioning
board, so I had my signal well conditioned and coming out from
this board in the -10V +10V. What I did was to plugg it then this
to a FP AI-110 module, so I could read the signal in the computer.

Adriana,

Assuming that you are using the Polymorphic version of the FieldPoint VIs, it is likely that the wrong version of the VI was selected. You should be able to right click on the FP Read.vi and choose Select Type. Under Select Type, you should choose either the FP Read (Float)or FP Read (Float Array) if you are using FieldPoint Refnums. If you are using the FieldPoint IO Point tag, you should choose either FP Read (Float -IO) or FP Read (Float Array -IO). For either of the above, you should select Float if you are reading a single channel and Float Array if you are reading multiple channels on the module.
