Hi all
I have a flowmeter FTB-1302 and Nı USB 6229.I have connected them and read data as a square wave.How can i convert this square wave into real values.I mean i want to read flowmeter.
Here is my vi code and my squarewave graph.
Thank you

You need to read the manual of your flowmeter and determine how the actual flow rate relates to the frequency of your signal. Most sensors make it a very easy linear relationship. Then just do the calculation and display your result in an numeric indicator. No need for a graph unless you like looking at a square wave. Although you might want to chart the numeric value so you have a history of the flow rate.
EDIT: There is a VI called "Extract Single Tone Information.vi" that can read the square wave and return its frequency. ![]()
