Continuous data acquisition and writting to file

[Azad]

Hi, I am in the mining industry and about to carry out tests on a load cell to calculate the impact pressure on it continuously and to write these data in a file. I am using LabVIEW 7.0 and PowerDAQ hardware PD2-MF-16-400/14H as a data acquisition board, does any one have any VI's associated with this type of testing?

Hello Azad,

Since the PD2-MF-16-400/14H is not a NI board and does not use the NI-DAQ driver, we do not have any examples that you will be able to run with your hardware. We do, however, have examples that show how to continuously acquire data and write to a file using the NI-DAQ driver. These programs are included in your example finder when you install the NI-DAQ driver. I suggest looking at these programs as a model for your own program which will be using the appropriate DAQ driver. After you install NI-DAQ, the example programs will be located under Hardware Input and Output>Traditional DAQ>Analog Input>Stream to Disk in the NI Example Finder.

I hope this helps!
