Output gain adjustment factor from DAQmx Perform Shunt Calibration (strain).vi

[ClaireJ]

Hi

We are using the DAQmx Perform Shunt Calibration (strain).vi to apply a gain adjustment to the output of our strain gauges. We would like to view the Gain Adjustment applied by the DAQmx Perform Shunt Calibration (strain).vi, and we have tried to do this using a property node.

I have attached screenshots of the property node we included before the DAQmx Perform Shunt Calibration (strain).vi (which seems to work fine), and the property node we have included after the DAQmx Perform Shunt Calibration (strain).vi (which doesn't output anything).

Could someone please advise of what I am doing wrong, or if ouputting the Gain Adjustment applied by the DAQmx Perform Shunt Calibration (strain).vi is even possible?

Cheers

Hello Bart,

When you say it doesn’t output anything, do you mean it outputs a zero value?

Best Regards,

Hello, thank you for your response.

Sorry I wasn't clear. We get 0 from the property node when using multiple gauges in series. We have since found that the property node works when outputting the gain adjustment factor from only a single gauge, but we still cannot get it to work for multiple gauges in series.

I have posed the question in a more clear fashion (I hope) in the Labview forum (link below)
