I have Labview 2021, Can I use Design Assistant?

How do I Design on a schematic with components >> How Do I assign an Analog input (Say A0 on NI-6000 device)?

In LabVIEW you don't "design a schematic"!

LabVIEW is a programming language (IDE) and you create program code…

Start to learn LabVIEW using the Training resources offered at the top of the LabVIEW board.

Then open the DAQmx example VIs presented in the example finder and learn about "reading AI channels"…

Btw. there is no "Design Assistent" in LabVIEW!

Hi

I assume your mentioning of 'Design Assistant' actually meant 'Control Design Assistant'.

This makes sense.

You want to put a probe on a schematic. This could involve these software pillars

-- LabVIEW

-- SignalExpress ( last version from 2015 )

-- Multisim ( the schematics program ) and

-- 'Control Design Assistant' which is part of the 'Control Design and Simulation' Module. 

CDA enables Multisim to work together with SignalExpress.

'Control Design and Simulation' works with LabVIEW. 

CDS can also interact with Multisim using the 'Co-Simulation plugin' which comes with Multisim.

Last LV version to support the plugin was 2016 but it can forced onto newer LV versions.

SignalExpress can work with LabVIEW up to LV 2015.

Making it all work will require a substantial effort.

And it requires a lot of no longer available software.

Digilent introduced a bundle called 'LabVIEW Home Bundle' in 2016. It was based on LabVIEW 2014 SP1 and included the CDS module.

So adding a student version of Multisim, you had what you needed.

Maybe you can find it on eBay.
