daqmx help

[SLewis]

I am currelty changing from the traditional to DaqMX.  I am using a 6032E Series card, BNC 2120 and Labview 8.0.  Trying to creat a vi to acquire 8 voltages and save to file.

Need Help.

Is there a specific question you have? Where are you stuck?

There is Getting Started with DAQmx page that you might want to look at. There are also the shipping examples and some of those do acquisition and data write to file.

I am very new to labview and like I said would like to get started using Daqmx.  I would prefer not to start from scratch, due to time, and find a daqmx vi that I can acquire 7 to 8 voltage channels and save to file.  Also, I would like the ability to zero all readings once acq. is started (hopefully this makes since).  I have been told that this should be very simple, but finding it very difficult. 

Is there a VI that one may have that could help me with what i need to do?

No, you don't have to start from scratch. As I said, there are several shipping examples that acquire and save to file. Go to Help>Find Examples and then expand Hardware Input and Output>DAQmx>Analog Measurements>Voltage. There are several that write to a binary TDMS file but you can easily change that to a text file if you want.

The DAQ Assistant can also be setup for multiple channel acquisition and then you can use the Write to Measurement File.

If there is something that you find especially difficult, please explain exactly what it is.

Dennis, your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks...Scott

Hi Bar,

You mentioned that you would also like to zero out your readings.  Please refer to the following forum post, as well as this knowledge base article.

Essentially, you will open a reference to your VI.  You will invoke a method to set all the controls on the front panel to their default values.
