LabVIEW 2013

[LimerickIT]

Hi Everyone,

I am a Mechanical Engineering student in LimerickIT and I've been asked to program our engine through LabVIEW

I have limited knowledge of LabVIEW and was wondering if anyone could help me.

I'm using LabVIEW 2013 and have DAQassistant installed.  I have a NI Compact DAQ with four modules.  2 analog input modules and two Digital input/output modules.

Cheers in advance

Hi Ed,

the only problem I can read in your message seems to be "I have limited knowledge of LabVIEW": in the header of the LabVIEW board you will find some entries to help you to learn LabVIEW!

I don't need to learn all the features just yet.  I need to know how to read signals.  To get the Compact DAQ talking with software.  Do you know any specific tutorials I need to take to get the Compact DAQ talking with the software.  We have five sensors.  2 Temp 1 pressure, 1 absolute encoder, 1 hall effect sensor.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Ed,

I don't need to learn all the features just yet.

I didn't suggest to learn "all the features", but I suggested to learn the basics…

I need to know how to read signals.  To get the Compact DAQ talking with software. 

Start here.

Then examine all those example VIs coming with LabVIEW!

OK, you don't know LabVIEW, you (presumably) don't know about Data Flow, you don't know about LabVIEW Variables ("wires"), Shift Registers, Loops, etc., but want to know how to "read signals".

"I'm new to C++.  I don't need to larn all the features just yet.  I need to know how to do Object Oriented Programming and make new Classes ..."  Yeah, right ...

Spend the 3-6 hours going though all of the Core 1 and Core 2 (or whatever they are called) Basic Tutorials mentioned on the first page of this Forum.  If there is a LabVIEW Guru around, spend time with her (or him).
