Data Acquisition Question?

Dear All,

I would like to know what kind of VI I should use to collect a data
for our application.
I want to collect two data points every 60 seconds for our testing.

Thanks,

Greetings!

Your application doesn't seem to be too demanding. Just about any Labview DAQ card will do the trick at such a low sample rate, and you might look at the DATALOGGING vi examples to get started.

Good Luck!

Hello,

Here is a link to a simple Data Logger VI:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B45EACE3DE0556A4E034080020E74861&p_node=200082&p_source=External

1. Download the zip file
2. Unzip the contents
3. Run the Simple Data Logger.vi
4. Choose your channels
5. Click Run
6. Name your log file (text file)
7. VI will begin logging data

Hope this is what you wanted.

Regards,
