Hello I have a Inclinomemter with an analog output the measures 0 - 360°
When the inclinometer reaches 360° the analog output goes to minimum from maximum which essentially means my DAQ reads the value as zero again.
What I would like to do is to continously add or subtract 360° to the data when the crossover point is encountered.
I would also be beneficial to have the ability to determine which way the iclinometer is rotating as well.
I would imagine I would have to use a register but I am really unsure on how I would grab the data value DAQmx generates and place it into the register,
I have LabVIEW 2009.
Aby help would be appriciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Unless you are stuck with the base version of LV, check out the Unwrap Phase PtByPt.vi in the Signal Processing palette. You have to convert to radians (unlike the non PtByPt version) but that should not be a big deal.

I am not seeing "Unwrap Phase PtByPt.vi" on my Signal Processing Palette.

Search -> Unwrap
Or QD: Ctrl-Space unwr
(Look under the Signal Processing -> Point By Point -> Signal Operation PtByPt
If these fail, then I guess it is time for Plan B.

Ok I got it.
Now how shoudl I use it?
