My apologies if this is a very obvious question, but I'm new to DMM's and labview software.
Essentially,
I have a PCI 4070 DMM, and I am trying to use it to replace an
oscilloscope that is currently measuring the voltage response of a
pressure gauge.
Using labview 8.0, I've tried modifiying the
"Triggered Waveform" example VI, to not much avail. What I would like
to do is trigger the waveform acquisition at a voltage specified by the
user. It seems to me that this should be relatively easy to implement
with some kind of user defined input and a greater than value. Is there
a trigger block that triggers the acquisition from a boolean input? Or,
am I viewing this from entirely the wrong perspective?
Ultimately,
I'd also like to acquire data for a set amount of time before and after
the trigger; while that's a long way down the line from an
understanding point of view, any thoughts on how to do that would be
helpful too!
