From: Marco Metzger on 28 Apr 2009 09:10 Hello, this is the first time I use NI hardware. I have the USB-6009 unit which runs well on NI-DAQmx (V4.5). I'm trying to bring an input value to a Labview (V8.0.1). I know it sounds stupid, but what must I do to measure a signal in Labview? Best regards Marco

Then, in Labview, under the pull-down menus, open the Examples and search for analog or digital or DAQmx. Select one of the examples there. In this dialog box, you can also make the search specific to the hardware that you have available (the USB-6009). The example should get you up and running and you can modify it from there.
From: Marco Metzger on 30 Apr 2009 08:12 Hello, from other examples I saw that they have a palette DAQmx which is missing in my installation. When I copy the symbols from other sample programs I can use them, but why can I not see the DAQmx panel palette under Measurement I/O?

Do you have Measurement and Automation Explorer installed? Do you see your device listed under NI-DAQmx Devices? It sounds like you have an incomplete installation: This newsgroup doesn't have a good following. forums.ni.com is a better option. http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=400818

The 6008 and 6009 are champs for doing DAQ with little money and nondemanding applications, but there's always that damn steep learning curve with LV. DB |
