Problem reading analog input (noob)

[fredguy]

Hi all,

This is my first post to this forum, and I'm new to labview so this may seem a strange question, however, how do you get a single analog value from an analog input (DAQ channel)? Everything i find seems to want to take waveforms and multiple scans, while I'm simply trying to take one single intensity from my device (a photon counting PMT). I'm sure there is an easy answer to this i just cant seem to find out how to go about it. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys,

Fred

One question how do you determine when to shoot?

What's the output of your device?
