Strain Conversion

Hello all,

 

My test bench is almost complete. All components are working, last step is converting voltage to strain. My vi is attached. I have all of my sensors working through a single DAQ Assistant, is there a way to input only the strain voltage into the strain converter? If so how and if not then what is the easiest way to input the converted strain values into my chart?

I'm not familiar with dynamic data or DAQ assistant, as I usually go for the lower level functions that I need. But, I assume you can convert the dynamic data to an array of waveforms and pick off the waveform you need. To do this you will need:

  • Convert from Dynamic Data - configured to give you a 1D array of waveform
  • Index Array - take the index of the strain gauge data (looks like 4 from your express VI).

If you want to work each signal separately, place a Split Signals object. Then take strain voltage signal into the strain converter.

I apologize for responding so late, ran into some computer issues...

 

Anyway attached is my newest VI. Using split signals I can take readings from the input of the strain converter, but there are no readings coming out of the converter.
