hi, 

I am new to labview.  I am using NI 6216 usb Daq card for my application. I am getting data from 16 strain gauges with the help of wheatstone bridge. I want to know how should i start. Any useful tutorial for  NI6216?

But since you asked specifically about DAQ there are a few more things you might find useful.

Also in LabVIEW go to Help >> Find Examples.  There you can search for DAQ or DAQmx but what might be more useful is to go through the categories of Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx.  You'll probably be interested in taking finite analog measurements.
