Acquiring measurements from Multisim, using DAQ assistant in labview

[ctlaze]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to acquire measurements from Multisim, using DAQ assistant in labview.

I want to be able to acquire the measured voltage in my simulated Multisim Circuit, using DAQ assistant or any other way in LabVIEW.

Thanks guys

Hi ctlaze, 

The DAQ assistants are designed to acquire measurements from real hardware that runs on the DAQmx driver. Multisim is not hardware, so you're not going to be able to use the DAQ assistant for this purpose.

I did find a little youtube link created by another customer who was doing somethign similar. This is not an NI built video, but I think it really nicely explains how to pass data from Multisim to LabVIEW and back.

I also found a nice white paper if you prefer.

Hope this helps.

Hi Vsenior,

Thanks a lot, I would try and work my way around it based on info from the white paper and video. I really wish there was a way of actually acquiring the measurement data from multisim using the "virtual DAQs" and the DAQ assistant.

Thanks all the same.
