DAQ Assistant with Different Signal Types

[Loic G.]

I�m using a 6036E DAQ Card connected to a SC2345 chassis with SCC-A-10 (10* attenuator) and SCC-TC02 (thermocouple) modules. I�m trying to design a simple DAQ system that read, display and save data from the different modules of the SC2345.
Using the DAQ assistant in Lab View 7.1, I�m able to run my application as long as I read only one type of input (voltage OR temperature). If I try to use a second DAQ assistant to setup my temperature measurement for example, I get an error (error 50103).
How could I use the DAQ assistant to read signals from the different modules?

Thanks,

Hello Loic,

The answer to your question is that you will not be able to use Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) or the DAQ assistant to acquire signals of different types. However, there is an alternate and equally easy method that you can use. The details of this method are discusses in the article linked below.
