Setting up accelerometer with NI USB-9162 and Signal Express

[budchevy358]

I am looking for help on setting up an accelerometer with USB 9162. When I go to set it up, it says no device found. I need to find out how to read this and setup the mV/g as well as window options, sample rates, etc.

Hi,

You said you have the 9162, which is a USB sleeve for CompactDAQ modules, but which module do you have? One possible explanation is that the driver hasn't been installed. Did you install DAQmx before you connected the 9162 and module to the computer?

When you open the Measurement and Automation Explorer, what do you see under Devices and Interfaces » DAQmx Devices? Do you see any signals using the test panels for your device [1]?
