input and output reading from quanser board

[jns0086]

My department recently gave my senior design group a Quanser board to use for a project. We are having trouble reading data from the motor sensors in Labview. We are using Labview 2010. Can anyone tell me what channels I should be looking at and what kind of inputs they would read? Thanks.

Which Quanser board do you have? Also go both to their site and search here on the NI site (the search box at the top of the screen)  for Quanser, there are a lot of entries that come up.

We're using the DC Motor Control Board. There really isn't any other identifiable information on the board. We're currently trying to get a hold of Quanser to ask them about what inputs they're reading from, but no luck yet. We tried loading the VI's that came with the board, but no luck there either. After locating all the required VIs Labview asked for it still gives us an error message and half the wires in the block diagram are broken.

OK, can you post a .png format screen shot of your code (block diagram) so we can see the broken wires. And what the error message is? Quanser is located in Quebec, Canada so they probably have gone home for the day.

Good day,

How are you communicating with the Quanser board?  Are you using a DAQ, or perhaps serial communication through TCP/IP?
