Programming Flow Totalizer

[cbarne05]

I am currently working on a flow totalizer reading an input from a flow meter.  I plan on sampling the data at a certain rate, scaling the data (0-5v input) and multiplying it by the timestep and summing these volumes up.  However, I am not sure if this is a good way of going about this problem and I'm also not sure how to go about doing this in LabVIEW.  

Does anyone have any advice about programming totalizers in labVIEW?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You'd better post this LabVIEW question in LabVIEW forum.

In Lookout you can use Integral object to get the total.

In LabVIEW, there are also related Integration math function. For example, you use DAQ board to sample at a certain rate, you will get an array of data in each loop. Then you just input this array to the Integration VI and the output will be the total.
