NI Ready-to-Run Measurements
PrintOverview
NI Ready-to-Run Measurements software programs have been designed so that scientists, engineers, technicians, and students taking basic measurements can benefit from NI measurement-quality data acquisition hardware without programming. You can use NI Ready-to-Run Measurements in Measurement Mode with NI data acquisition and signal conditioning hardware supported by either NI-DAQmx or NI-DAQmx Base software, or you can use them without hardware using Simulation Mode.
To use an NI Ready-to-Run Measurement, simply follow these steps:
- Download and install the LabVIEW 7.1 Run-Time Engine FREE
- Choose the NI Ready-to-Run Measurement that fits your application.
- Download the ZIP file for your Ready-to-Run Measurement and extract all files.
- If you wish to use the Ready-to-Run Measurement program in Measurement Mode with NI hardware, make sure your hardware and NI-DAQmx or NI-DAQmx Base software is installed.
- Run the .exe file and begin taking measurements!
If you discover you need more functionality than your Ready-to-Run Measurement provides, each ZIP file also contains example LabVIEW code that you can use to build your customized measurement solution!

DAQM base App not working
The NI Daq base application for the NI 9211
does not acquire more than one channel. Why?
This was not ready to run.
