Level sensor test VI

[OleC]

Hello

I'm almost new into LabView world and have to make a simple VI.

I want to create a VI that read level sensor Voltage, min to max and then present the graph.

For now i just got a 6008 module and a voltage divider. The sensor contains a float that

adjust as the tanklevel increases/decreases.

Anyone have a good tip to where to start?

Hi OleC,

Thanks for joining the forums!

Express VIs will get you up and running very quickly.  You can use the Data Acquisition Assistant to read your voltage, Amplitude and Level Measurements to take the readings and display the results in a graph.

Take a look at the Getting Started with LabVIEW PDF and let us know if you run into any implementation issues

Hello Peter and thanks.

I have been using Data Acquisition Assistant to read voltage, works great so far.

Where I go from here is a little tricky, but as you wrote, mabe the Level measurement would get me further.

Originally i was going for reading Resistance, but the level sensors range is from 0 to 400kohms. Therefore

I went for the voltage devider circuit.

Ok. thanks for help so far.

One other advantage of the express VIs is that after they are working you can convert them to normal VIs and see how they work.

Well, I only got the Basic version of labview. Level measurement express is not present.

But mabe it can work out other ways. the task does not seems so difficult. Read sensor data into an array - Present data in graph... how hard can i be?...ey?
