rs232 to NI 9205 DAQ

[tenglert]

Hi

I'm using a pyrometer with a RS232 output to measure temperature and would like to connect it to a previously purchased NI 9205 with spring terminals so that I can input all my data to the same DAQ system.  Can I connect an RS232 to this DAQ module?  And if so, how?  Or can an RS232 output only be connected to LabView via serial port or USB adapter?

Thanks!

No, you can't connect the 9205 to RS-232. A LabVIEW program can read the 9205 at the same time as RS-232, though.
