Measure

[Louwrence Ngoma]

Hi,

I modeled a six bus power system network on Matlab/Simulink and I would like to measure the voltage and current signals using a DAQ card. The DAQ card im having is a

NI PCI-6132 S Series Multifunction DAQ. How do I go about acquiring this signals?

Regards,

Louwrence

Hey Louwrence,

Are you going to be using the 6132 card with LabVIEW to acquire the signals? If so, you should look in the NI Example Finder that is installed with LabVIEW. Go to Help>> Example Finder. Then go to Hardware Input and Output>> DAQmx>> Analog Measurement and choose the example you would like to look at.

If you are trying to use the card through MATLAB, you will need the DAQ Toolbox. You can check for official compatibility here. I do not know what is installed with this toolbox as it is not National Instruments. There may be some examples in there however.

Hope this helps.
