FP ctr 500 with reed switch

[buianh2]

Hi,

I have installed a water flow meter that uses a reed switch. This reads the counts based on a magnet passing through the swtich to indicate its on or off status. When ever this state changes, that is considered one pulse. Each time the meter switches on and off, it is considered one count. My goal is to write a labview that reads these counts based on the number of pulses from the water meter. The counts are read with a Field point device (CRT 500) that consists of 8 channels and reads at a 16 bit rate.

I wrote a program that reads the counts and converts it into frequency. However, labview does not read my program and write numerical data to my indicator... I am not sure why.

Hi,

Are you able to connect to the FP CRT-500 and get samples?

If you can successfully get the data into your VI, are you getting any error messages or updates when you run the VI?

If you can't, I would suggest posting this question in the "FieldPoint Family" hardware board, as there are more users that would be able to assist you with this type of issue.

Thanks,
