Looking for a Power Meter and driver solution.

Hi Taylor,

Attached is the VI, I am trying to build for tektronix oscilloscope. I am looking to get voltage and current using LV built driver from NI website (TDS acquire multiple waveform) : http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=17988.

Attached is a snapshot and a VI. I am trying to add an interface to an already built VI inorder to get power, voltage and current using two channel oscilloscope.

Any such example or help would be great!

Thanks!

Hi dav226,

I hope you are doing well today!  In looking at your VI, it looks like you already have indicators set up for power, voltage, and current using the EPM_Power.vi from the Electrical Power Measurement Palette.  Is this not the functionality you are looking for?  Could you clarify if this is not the desired output?  Are you seeing any errors when using this?  Thanks, dav226!  Have a great day!

Hi dav226,

Also, I forgot to attach a link in the above post to a tutorial available for customizing User Interfaces in LabVIEW.  If you are looking for more a more custom User Interface, this tutorial walks through some of the basics of designing your own controls and indicators, using labels and captions, setting default values for user interface objects, and applying color to enhance the appearance of your user interface.  I hope this helps!  Have a great day!
