Differential Measurements Using High-Speed Digitizers

3 ratings | 4.00 out of 5

Overview

Taking differential measurements is easy to do with NI high-speed digitizers. With the built-in math functions, you can get a quick and easy value without having to manually take the data from two single ended measurements and perform the subtraction. The attached code demonstrates how to carry this out.

This VI shows you how to take differential measurements with any of National Instruments two-channel high-speed digitizers. Using the built-in waveform math functions in NI-SCOPE, you can take differential readings using the subtract channels function.

Use this VI in conjunction with the "Differential Measurements using High-Speed Digitizers" Application Note. Also included with the Differential Measurements VI is the Gain and Offset Calibration VI discussed in the application note.

The second attached file scopediffmeasure.vi is a newer version of the same application designed to work in NI LabVIEW 8.5 and later, with NI-SCOPE version 3.3.2 or later.
