Windows To easily configure scaling information for your data acquisition channels, use the Virtual Channels setup in the Data Neighborhood in the Measurement & Automation Explorer.
Windows Use the channel string in the Virtual Channels setup in the Data Neighborhood in the Measurement & Automation Explorer with LabVIEW DAQ VIs. When you use this channel string, you do not have to wire a device number input.
When you acquire analog signals in a DAQ application, the limit settings parameter describes the range of your analog signal. Refer to the LabVIEW Measurements Manual for more information about analog signals.
Windows Set VISA Aliases in the Measurement & Automation Explorer to make VISA resource names easier to remember.
UNIX Set VISA Aliases to make VISA resource names easier to remember by running visaconf.
Use the Intermediate Analog Input VIs to continuously acquire data.
Windows Use the Measurement & Automation Explorer to quickly detect what devices are connected to your computer, install the appropriate drivers, and open example VIs to communicate with the connected devices.
Windows Drag a name from the Measurement & Automation Explorer to a LabVIEW front panel to create a name control automatically.
VISA Open is optional. You can wire a VISA name control directly to any VISA function, and a VISA session will open when first used.
Use waveform acquisition or generation to acquire or generate data faster and at a more constant sampling rate than the single point conversions.
