Acquire Signal with NI-SCOPE 5102

[FilipeV]

Hello. i'm a beginner in LabView. I have to acquire signal from a NI-Scope 5102 and I have absolutely no idea how to do that in LabView, I instaled the drivers but in my computer I don't have the acquisition boards. I tried to see the examples and I can´t find nothing that can possibly help me. I need a step-by-step explanation of what to do.

It will be really hard to acquire a signal without the card in your computer.

If you go to the help menu and select find examples and then do a search for scopes you will get all the examples.  If you get no results check that you have the NI-Scope software installed.  There is an example called niScope EX Getting Started.vi that should point you in the right direction.  There is even a simulated acquisition vi you could look at.  I do not actually have a 5102 card but this should help some.

How to tell if you have the niscope software installed??

Open the measurement & automation explorer (MAX).  On the left pane will be NI software that is installed like in the attached image.  If you did not install MAX you will need to do that.

I made a second post, by mistake, of this same problem, and got some answers. You can check it here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Acquire-Signal-with-NI-SCOPE-5102/td-p/2267446. I would ask you to see the feedback I got on the other post and if you have some other idea or you think that it should be made in other way, please tell me. 

I have the NI-Scope Software on my personal labtop and the vi will run in the lab's computer.

Actually, the 5102 can be programmed using either traditional DAQ or NI-SCOPE.  It is a very old, obsolete board, and is not supported on 64-bit operating systems.  I would recommend the NI-SCOPE driver, since it is still supported.
