Hi all,
New to Ardunio - been using LV for a while. My boss seems to think that there is a way to use an Arduino Uno land its on-board DAC ike an oscilloscope to read voltage vs. time and plot the waveform in a VI. Struggling to wrap my head around it. I can plot a sine and a square wave with the Analog Read within LINX, but it simply runs as # of samples on the x-axis and I can't control it with time (or slow down the # of ssmples collected). Has anyone ever written (or tried to write) an o-scope code for an Arduino in LabView? Any logic suggestions, a screenshot or example code (for LV 14 and down) would be useful. Thanks in advance!

Hi Sam,
Thanks for the tips. 10 KHz is a bit slow, but as a proof of concept, it'll work for this purpose. The signal never excdeeds 4V (it can't due to an inline pre-amp installed before the scope) and is properly terminated/grounded so I am not worried about spikes.
You are correct - the LINX toolkit is all on-demand, so I will likely have to wire this the old-fashioned way through the VISA protocols. If you have any other suggestions or examples you can point me to, please share. Thanks!
