Do you have sample program that deals with power measure?

I am using your device to simulate a power meter. I have problem in doing that. If anyone has an idea how to do it, please help me out?

A power meter can measure several different types of signals, such and voltage and current, and can convert these reading into power values.

You can measure voltage and current using National Instruments Measurement Hardware.
From these measurements you can derive a power measurement. LabVIEW ships with several examples on how to measure signals
into a DAQ card and from these measurements
you can derive a power reading.

Since I am not sure the exact type, range, or application you are needing I can not provide further information.

I would recommend looking at the examples that ship with the National Instruments Hardware and visiting htp://www.ni.com/support
for further information.

What about power measurements for a 200MHZ signal and in the mW range. Since DAQ can only measure voltages we will need a current probe and convert the current to voltage and then simply multiply.
Finding a current probe for such high frequency and mA rage is very hard.
NI's new product PXI-4070 FLEXDMM with 1.8Ms/s digitizer is not fast for my needs.
