cDAQ Programming


Recommended Posts

I am new to using LabVIEW (only completed Core 1 a month ago) and I need to use LabVIEW to program a cDAQ. 

 

I am on a short schedule and I could use some help with figuring out how to program a NI-9188 (Ethernet, 8-slot) chassis that has a NI-9234 (4-CH Digital I/O) card.  I have a microphone and an accelerometer connected.

 

Any recommendations on where to start with figuring out programming a DAQ?

 

Thanks,

 

Matt

I'd start with MAX.  If you have DAQmx installed the cDAQ chassis will show up there and you can start a test panel on your devices.  Then you'll see the low level inputs and outputs of your hardware making sure the values you see are the ones you expect.  Don't start writing tons of code then get strange values and blame the software.  If MAX doesn't have the values you expect then LabVIEW won't either.

 

If MAX looks good, then check out some of the DAQmx examples Help >> Find Examples in LabVIEW.  The examples have had a big face lift in 2012 and 2013 so I hope you are using one of those versions.
