reading voltage from multiple accelerometers

Hi there - I am new to labVIEW and DAQmx.

 

I am attempting to take a grid of multiple accelerometers and measure when the voltage drops below a certain value on that grid. Further more, I want to try and find the location of this occurance on the grid....

 

As of now, I do not have the DAQ board yet (on the way) so I dont have much to play with. Any suggestions as to how to get such readings? I could use a head start.

 

Please and thank you 🙂

Not sure what you mean by "take a grid". If you have a number of accelerometers, which happen to be physically arranged in a grid pattern, unless the electronics reports them as having row/column addresses they can be handled as a 1 dim array of units. Of course, if you define them to coorespond to the 2D grid, i.e. every 6 units represents a new row, then you can keep track of where the "location of the occurance" is. When you have more info regarding you DAQ, etc., let us know and we will see what we can to help.
