How do you capture analog, digital, and encoder using USB 6210?

[Rubbermaid_Healthcare]

Hello,

I am using LV 8.6 Pro. Development,  and a USB 6210 Daq.

I need to capture 1 analog channel, 1 digital channel, and 1 rotary encoder and the same time and record it to a text file.

The encoder is a 2500 PPR ABZ type, spinning at 200 rpm. I would like to capture the analog channel at every pulse of the encoder's 'A' pulse.

The 1 digital line is used with a prox switch is a physical Start/Stop to let the system know when to start/stop collecting data to a file. 

Any help would be great!

Hello Greg,

LabVIEW Example Finder is a great resource for your requested examples.  I recommend looking over the DAQmx folder and considering the following examples as a good point of reference.

Analog Mesaurements

   Cont Acq&Graph Voltage-Write Data to File.vi

Digital Measurements

   Cont Read Dig Chan-Int Clk.vi

Encoder Measurements

    Measure Angular Position-Buffered-Cont-Ext Clk.vi
