RTD measurement

I'd like to measure the temperature with the use of PT100, using RTD01.
Anyone can tell me how configure the DAQ channel?
I've labview 7.1.

Thank-you very much

Hi Roby,

To configure a channel for your RTD01, you will first have to set up your SCC carrier.

You can do this in MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer) by right-clicking on "NI-DAQmx Devices" and creating a new "NI-DAQmx SCC Connector Block"

Then modify the properties of your SC-2345/2350 to add your SCC-RTD01 to the appropriate location.

Now set up a DAQmx task for your temperature input:
1) MAX -> Data Neighborhood -> NI-DAQmx Tasks -> Create New -> Analog Input
2) Choose either Temperature -> RTD or Voltage (you can set up a custom scaling to convert voltage to temperature later)
3) Select the appropriate physical channel on your RTD01
4) Enter a name for this task
5) Configure the RTD/Voltage settings accordingly

You've now conf
igured a DAQ channel!

You can find detailed help on RTD measurements at the following ni.com link:

Good luck with your temperature measurements,
