Need some simple CVI code examples to us SCXI.

[hendra@ngms]

I'm starting from scratch on this. I've looked through the documentation, paper and web site, to find some simple getting started instructions. Found nothing.

I've got an SCXI chassis with four SCXI-1125's, connected to a PCI-6034E. It has been properly set up using MAX, including setting gain and filters on the 1125's.

Using LabWindows 6.0, how do I set this up properly to scan all 32 channels into an array. All of the code samples I've seen are LW 5.5 or older, and do not seem to address, in a straightforward way, the two things necessary: SCXI Module scanning setup, DAQ card reading.

Hello,
Have you found this link on the KnowledgeBase yet?
SCXI with NI-DAQ Function calls

These programs are especially helpful for finding ways to do conversions, and special module settings.

For general programs, in the National Instruments\MeasurementStudio\CVI\Samples\SCXI\ folder, there is one project called . This one shows how to set up SCXI Module scanning along with a DAQ board to get readings.

I suggest at least opening one of the scanning example programs from the KnowledgeBase for something with a little more documentation than the shipping examples.

Does that help?
