Building VI to measure real time data from a DC motor.

[jideadido]

i'm new to labview and i need to build a VI to measure current, voltage and temperature from a DC motor. Can any one be of assistance? I have a DAQ card 6036E and a signal conditioning SC 2345. I need to connect this to measure all this signals from an extrusion machine using running on a dc motor. i will be very grateful

What kind of voltages and currents are you dealing with in this DC motor?  If they are too high, you will need to have some sort of sensor system to take high voltage and high current signals and translate them to lower voltages and currents that the DAQ card and signal conditioning box can handle.  What will you use for temperature measurment?  The SC-2345 has modules available to handle thermocouple measurements.

Once you have all the signals at a level the SC-2345 can handle, then you can create a DAQmx task to measure all of them at whatever rate you desire.  What kind of data acquisition rate do you want?

In LabVIEW, look at examples for DAQmx to see how to get the data into LabVIEW.

I would suggest you begin at Getting Started with DAQmx. There you will find information on the DAQmx driver, example code, and how to use the DAQ Assistant. You don't mention what SCC modules you have and would have to assume you have a current module and some sort of temperature module. Taking a quick look at the SC 2345 manuals, I see you configure this separately in MAX (Measurement & Automatin Explorer).
