Labview PDA Help

[Racer351]

I am attempting to use LV 8 PDA to build a small project. I am a complete newbie moron, so respond accordingly.

What I am trying to do is read from 2 analog channels of a cf-6004 daq card in a Toshiba PocketPC, I need to read from each channel, write the data to a chart (strip chart style) and then save the data on the PDA's SD memory card in excel format.

I only need to sample 1/s but I need it to run until I stop it or the memory card fills up. (512Mb card) I'm hoping that I can run for several months without shutting down.

So far I have managed to build the PDA screen and get it to show on the PDA. I've tried building the control section but I just don't get it yet. 

Any help would be greaty appreciated.

Racer,

Shipped with DAQmxBase which are the drivers that are used with your card, there are a number of examples that you can take a look at to get your started. One in particular that I would look at is:
Cont Acq&Graph Voltage-Int Clk.vi

You can find it at in the following file path:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\examples\daqmxbase\Dynamic\ai

There is a Dynamic and Static folder, just use the Dynamic examples, it will save you some trouble and it is generally better to do everything programmatically (through Labview) when ever you can. This example will show you how to continously read data off that card and print it to the screen. From there you can take a look at some of the write to file examples that also ship with Labview, you can find them through the NI Example Finder then look under the Fundamentals folder for writing to a file example.  Hope that helps you out.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm still not 'up-to-speed' but I am figuring out things as I go.

Again, Thanks.
