how to use scxi 1102 to input analog signal

[connector]

Dear All:

How can I programm scxi 1102 to get an analog input signal from 0~5 voltage? I am trying to use the examples with Labview but that is for thermocouple.

thanks a million,

connector

Set the gain to 1 and the card will read +/- 10 volts.

Hello;

You can use any one of the regular Data Acquisition example VIs to acquire data from the SCXI module.
The only difference is that you won't input a channel number as the analog input channel, but a string that defines what scxi module/channel you are pointing to.

One example of string would be ob0! sc1! md1! 0; where ob0 means that your SCXI chassis is connected to the DAQ on board 0, sc1 means your are pointing to chassis number 1, md1 is the first module on that chassis, and 0 is the SCXI channel numner.

Hope this helps.

You should be able to go through MAX and create a virtual channel. When you do this, you can specify the range and the engineering units too. When you do this, be sure to check that your scaling is right.
