NI DAQ (USB-6002)

[BrisT]

Hi everyone, I am new here as such, I have no idea on what location to select for this topic. Please pardon me. 

I am a student and I just started reading up more on the NI DAQ USB-6002 device. The question I have is, does the DAQ device work the same as an Arduino board whereby once a code is uploaded into the device, it just requires a power source to function?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

In short, no.  The code would need to run on a more-or-less "normal" PC that remains attached to the USB-6002 via USB.   DAQmx makes the USB connection pretty transparent though, so you generally don't need to deal with USB explicitly in your programming.

Okay got it, thanks Kevin!

Hi there

I am new in using NI daq 6002 and trying to measure voltage variations in a cell membrane. Briefly, I need to collect all  data points and plot it in a linear mode. Experiment time is not more than half an hour and I need to collect data in every 5 seconds interval. Could someone please guide me to set the details? May I need to use labview or exporting the data directly from NI MAX will do the job?

Cheers,

Naabb
