Hello, I am new to Labview and am running into what may be very easily solved problems, although I'm not sure. I have a thermocouple attached to the NI 9211 thermocouple input which is plugged into my computer via USB. I know that my computer recognizes the thermocouple because when I open up Measurments and Automation and open up the test panel, it shows a signal. This signal drops when I warm the tip of the TC up and rises when I cool it down. I am therefore certain that it is not a hardware issue and that the software recognizes the TC. However, when I try to make a simple data aquisition progam and graph in Labview, it does not work. I tried to aquire the signal as both voltage or temperature and neither works. I simply have the DAQ Assistant block connected to a graph indicator. When I try to run it, it waits a few seconds before telling me that it has not aquired anything and gives me an error. I have attached a screen shot of both the settings of my DAQ Assistant block and the error message. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Depthcharge623,

You do need Matlab to interface with the script node as the script server is needed as explained here. Hopefully this helps!
