Project help: Circuit Design

[shree083]

Hey everyone,

I had posted earlier about a project I am doing for a course right now in labview. For the project we are using the NI PC 6259 DAQ card connected to a SCC 68. For this project we have to measure the non linear characteristics of a device using the DAQ card and plot the IV curve for that device. We have to be able to control the number of measurements, the start and end current, the time between each one. I am lost for how to design the circuit / which one to use since I have a very elementary background when it comes to circuits. For this project through playing around with the card I cannot get a current output for the circuit and a little lost on how I can use the DAQ card to control all the parts of the measurements.

Was wondering if anyone could help me out a little / can give me pointers, any help is much appreciated!! 🙂

Talk to your fellow students.  Or find a smart undergraduate in the Engineering School and learn a little Circuit Theory.  Do you know Ohms Law?

I suppose that your already know fundamentals of electronics.

Have you thought about using a shunt resistor?

You did not "post earlier", because your profile only has exactly one post so far. Did you post this here, then created a new profile?

It would really help to keep everything in one place.
