DI synchronized with AI in DAQmx task?

[JDSTC]

HI

Can a digital input (cDAQ counter) value be added to a DAQmx task that is also used to measure analog inputs?  I want to be able to synchronize the data collected from an encoder with the data collected from a load cell to produce load vs. deflection graph data.  If so please provide a VB.net (2010) example.

Hi Jeff,

DAQmx tasks can only contain one type of measurement (AI, AO, DI, DO, CI, CO). If you want more help achieving your end goal in your code, consider posting on our DAQ forum . Although you are programming in .NET, the data acquisition theory is the same across all languages.

Hi Curt,

That looks promising.  It may take me some time(a few months) until I get the opertunity to try it.  Thank you for the reply.
