Read in | Print

The National Instruments Getting Started with NI-DAQmx Series is aimed at helping you learn NI-DAQmx programming fundamentals. Through video and text tutorials, this series will take you from verifying your device's operation in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to programming data acquisition applications using LabVIEW. It is intended for both the beginner who wants to learn how to use the DAQ Assistant, as well as the experienced user who wishes to take advantage of advanced NI-DAQmx functionality.

Overview

This video demonstrates how to create a DAQmx VI in LabVIEW to acquire a simple analog input signal. This same process can easily be applied to create LabVIEW code that acquires signals from thermoucouples, strain gauges, microphones, or any other analog device.

Follow through the video and be sure to check out the examples in the Example Finder by going to Help >> Find Examples.  There are many examples in the Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx folder.

Before you Watch

Before playing the video be sure to have LabVIEW open to the welcome screen or a blank vi.

Nice straightforward discussion
Simple walk through of the basics of analog acquisition. Not for the professional programmer.

not enough usefull information
The presentation does not give enough useful information about why some things are being done. More details on the different input modes etc would be helpful.
