mydaq digital temperature sensor sht1x protoboard serial data transfer

I'm new Labview user and now I have got a NI myDAQ white box. I want to know is that whether I can use this box to acquire digital signals from a temperature sensor using a serial data transfer or a serial clock. I have a SHT1X protoboard sensor.

Hi fadijabroun and welcome to NI Forums!

 

According to the specs, your board communicates using the I2C protocol. To set up communication on this particular protocol, please review these documents:

The basic idea is that I2C requires the hardware to be able to do “Per cycle tri state”. Unfortunately,the myDAQ does not support that feature. In fact, all digital interaction is software timed, according to the manual.

 

I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need more help.
