New to LabVIEW looking for VI that could modify into 3 Axis Vibration measurements

[Stan2]

New to LabVIEW looking for a VI that will take simultaneous 3 Axis vibration mearurements, one that might get me started in the right direction.

What hardware/toolkits are you using??

[Stan2]

Using DSA boards 4472 & 4474 with LabVIEW 7.1 and the Sound and Vibration tool kit.

Stan,

Have you tried any of the vibration examples that come with the Sound and Vibration toolkit?

Open up your example finder in LabVIEW (Help >> Find Examples) and browse to Toolkits and Modules >> Sound and Vibration >> SVXMPL_Vibration Analysis (DAQmx).vi.  This is a great place to get started with data acquisition and vibration analysis.

To measure 3 channels, you will have to modify the DAQmx data acquisition to include more than one channel in the "physical channel" control as well as changing the polymorphic DAQmx Read.vi to be N Channels N samples as opposed to 1 Channel N samples.  There will be a little bit of extra programming here, but this should get you started.

Let me know if you have any more questions, Stan.  Have a great day!

Travis,

I did try to modify the SVXMPL_Vibration Analysis VI that you mentioned, but i think i got started in the wrong direction. I will try your suggestions and build on that. I'm new at programming so this will be a challenge for me. 

Thank you for your help.
