mutiple readings from Express DAQ Assistant VI

Hello All!

 

First I'm a fresh noob to LabView and although I understand most of the basic concepts, I'm also new to programming in general. I'm working on a project to remotely monitor several different parameters of a system. Right now I'm working on a test program to monitor three parameters in my shop across the street. I'm using a NI USB-6008 as a DAQ device, DAQmx 8.0 and LabView 8.0. All of my input signals are 4-20 mA signals coming from my three sensing devices. 

 

Here's my problem; I need to monitor all three signals on digital displays. I can accomplish this by using three different instances of the express DAQ assistant but then I get the dreaded "50103 error" unless I wire the stopped output of one assistant to the stop input of the next in a feedback loop and even then I get the 50103 error on the first iteration of the loop. From my research I understand that this isn't the correct way to program this. I should use one DAQ assistant with multiple channels assigned to each one of my parameters. I've did this but now how do I make each one read out on an individual digital display? I only have one output from my DAQ assistant.

Hi George,

Use split signal in the signal manipulation functions menu to get your 3 individual singals on respective indicators
