field point ai aquire waveform.vi

I'm new to LabView and I'm trying to average a DC signal from a transducer using a FP-AI-610.  How do I go about connecting the the proper terminals so that the vi knows where to read the data from, or what device to read from?

Hi,

The first thing you will need to do is connect your FieldPoint controller and module(s) to the terminal bases and connect everything together.

If you are trying to connect a voltage input to channel 0, you will connect the positive end to pin 1 (V in) and the negative end to pin 18 (Com).  A full list of the connections is provided on page 5 of the FieldPoint AIO-610 manual.

After you connect everything, you will need to setup your FieldPoint System in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX).  Here is a link to a support website with tutorials and information about configuring a Fieldpoint system: FieldPoint Installation/Configuration Troubleshooter.

After your system is setup in Measurement and Automation Explorer, you can create your application in LabVIEW. The VI's for FieldPoint applications can be found at: Functions>>All Functions>>NI Measurements>>FieldPoint. You will be able to select the proper channels to collect data from on the drop down menu on the FieldPoint IO Point constant.
