Continuous signal data acquisition using MC DAQ (USB 1608FS)

[alastra1]

I have finaly figured out how to use MC DAQ using Labview and I have programed a little bit to be able to see the signal coming into my DAQ. However

I want to be able to continuously record a continuous signal at 100 Hz in 60 seconds, which gives around 6000 samples. However, the way I am recording the signals or seeing the signal in my waveform it only goes from 0 to 1 second and seems to update that second once it reaches one. I want to be able the see the 60 second period for that signal. I have attached my IV file so you guys have a better idea of what I am trying to explain.

Thank you.

What you are seeing is expected since you are using a graph. A graph does not contain history data. If you want to retain past data, you should use a chart. You can set the Chart History Length with a right click.

You should also change your loop to have just the read inside. You don't need to configure/start/clear with every iteration. Look at how it is done with the DAQmx examples.

I would like to ask  what should I do before start programming in labview.

 for example.... Have  you Configurared instacal previously to use USB-1608FS or measurement & automation explorer?.

 I only try to get data from it

thank you

MAX is only for NI hardware. You have to use measurement computing's configuration utility and their VIs.

 thank you,

 when I open Instacal doesn't recognize usb1608FS automaticaly. I think that is the problem. 

I  attach a picture  about  device manager.  I think that  was improperly installed.

Could you compare your  device manager like  it show you?

I don't have a mcc device. They have their own support forum. Ask there.

thank you for your time

I fixed it. It was installed like NI-VISA, instead of install like HID.
