USB-6009 with "redy to run" datalogger SW

[mojorg]

To get a quick and low cost solution to my data logging need, I bought a USB-6009 which ships with "ready to run" data logger software, NI Data logger. Well, I guess this SW is nice to see if you data USB-6009 works, but for anything else it seems quite useless. It seems that I am only able to log one channel at a time. Whats the use then of having 8 channels? Or am I just missing the functionality in the undocumented SW?

You can specify a series or group of channels in one of two ways:
- A colon specifies a channel range (e.g. Dev1/ai0:7 for channels 0 to 7)
- a comma seperates a group of channels in any order (e.g. Dev1/ai1,Dev1/ai4, Dev1/ai5 for channels 1, 4, and 5)

This is the standard channel string for NI-DAQmx and NI-DAQmx Base.

Thank you, great! I guess a minimum of documentation on the SW would have helped, then the "ready to run" datalogger SW gets you started immediately, without needing to know anything about NI-DAQmx etc.
