Measure 8 channels DAQmx and labView

[k0ewl]

hi there,

its me again. I now have only 2 days left to complete this program for my internship and I must say that I've learned a lot.
But here's the thing, I need to measure 8 channels from a DAQPad 6015. But I cant get it to work.

Here's what I have so far. I dont know if Im doing it the right way, but I think I am.

I hope someone knows what to do, so that I can go on with finishing this program.

Thanks in advance
Jaap

Woow!

Hey Jaap, if all that you want to do is acquire from 8 channels, you do not have to do all this exercise and coding!

Just see this VI, It will do the job, Modify it to work as you need

Your VI is not efficient since you are not doing a continous acquisition, you are configuring, staring and stopping acquisition in each iteration

Go through examples shipped with labview to get an idea on how to go about

Regards

Dev

Dear devchander,

Im using labView 7.0, could you save the VI as a 7.0 file?

thanks

In LabVIEW 7.0

the thing I dont get...

I have 4 permanent sensors attached to the first 4 analog channels and their scale will never change, but the other 4 analog input will be different scales every time.
I know i can specify the sale with a property node, but there is no option to select the channel you want to go with that scale?

Sorry for bothering you again...

also i need the time that the measurement took place for the logging of the data.
How is that done, because now the device does all things by itself now instead of me calculating everything for it...

Hi

I managed to get a reading out of the card

Can someone maybe check if my code is correct? Just looking at it will be okay.
Cause wednesday is my final day here, but I only have tommorow to finish it (planning), well if someone has comments on the program, please tell me.

I am planning on making a couple of dialog boxes for the settings, because this isnt what it is supposed to look like
Also, I want to free up some space around the measurement area so that I can make a decent layout.

Again, thanks
Jaap
