Adding Phidgets force sensor ( load cell ) to a Labview VI...

[just_logged_in]

I have an exiting Labview VI, program has been running for a few years, now I need to add the Phidgets sensor ( load cell ).

I don't write programs very often. I've added the channel and looked at some examples, but having issues finding the icons needed

to make the load cell functional.

There are several examples and help info:

1) "Bridge - Continuous Input.VI" from labview help>find examples

2) http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5902

3) http://www.ni.com/white-paper/7138/en

4) depending on what hardware you are using.. https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2018

I hope this helps. If you give more specific info that might help. What do you have the load cell connected to?

The load cell ( 0 - 5 volts ) is connected to phidgets interface board( 8/8/8 ), and then to the usb port of my Labview laptop.

My VI now has 2 channels, that are vacuum ( 0 - 5 volts ), when I run the 3 channel for load, it runs inline with the vacuum.
