Ni 435x in Labview 8.2

[dilkgeet]

I have a PXI-8105 controller in a PXI-1045 chassis with labview 8.2 installed.  I would like to use a PXI-4351 board to measure a thermistor.   I can measure volatges and resistances with NI MAX, and now I would like to program with lab view 8.2.  I have never programmed with lab view with before and would like to know how to do this quickly.  Thanks

Hi,

One easy way to automatically generate the code is to first make a DAQmx task in MAX since it seems familiar to you. Rightclick Data Neighborhood >> Create new >> NI DAQmx Task >> Choose your measurement configuration for e.g. a voltage measurement i.e analog input. Then add another channel from the setup window and choose your other mesurement, e.g. resistance. Then save it.

Open LabVIEW>>Blank VI>>Block diagram>>Search Button>>Search for DAQmx Task Name>>Drag it to the block diagram>>Click browse button and choose your task>>Rightclick on the task constant>>Generate code>>Configuration and example. Change to Front panel and watch the plot when you press the run button.

Hope this helps

I just realized that board is using NI-DAQ Traditional driver instead of Daqmx. So the above options aren't available....Please have a look at the Example Finder where is located under Help>>Find Examples in the LabVIEW menu>>Hardware Input and Output>>Tradional DAQ>>Analog Input and have a look at the acqusition vi's. Otherwise there is another example for your specific device at this page: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/838

I found an example program at  http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=216052 that seems to be do just what I want it to do.  However, when I run the VI, I get an erro code -1306 indicating that I need to check the accessory.  I have set the accesory in MAX to be TBX-68 and can correctly read out the resistance in MAX.  Why the problem in Labview?
