Ok, thank you all for the help. I have one last question, in terms of being able to set output based on sensor reading like if the temperature sensor I have connected to DAQ reaches 70 ˚C, and based on that threshold being reached, I have to shut a piece of equipment, how can I do that?
I am guessing the output can be set in software? Also for USB 6212 is the output current 2mA or 16mA? I am a bit confused by the data sheet.
