I have set up Labview to read a thermocouple from NI ELVIS, how do I set it to only obtain a certain amount of data? I just want about 10 readings each time I run it. I think it is set on continuous, how do I change it?

Hi,

Are you using an ELVIS example or DAQmx? Either way, you should be able to change the acquisition mode from continuous to finite on the DAQmx Timing.vi. From there you would need to specify a number of samples per channel to acquire. For DAQmx, check out the Acq& Graph Voltage Int Clk.vi example.

If this doesn't work, what example are you using? Feel free to post a screenshot fo your code.

Cheers,

Andrew S
