DAQmx channel

[Kamijin]

Dear all,

I am new in using labview.

Can anyone tell me after i create DAQmx channel. How do i read from it?

I am using SCC-68 interface board and PCI 6014.

We got program but it's program for Traditional DAQ Virtual Channel.  After i search at the NI Forum, i found that the SCC-68 is only DAQmx competible.

Is there anything i can do to change the program so it can be used by using DAQmx Channel?

Best Regards,

Hello Kamijin,

You are correct that the SCC-68 interface board requires the use of DAQmx. Though the overall flow and algorithm remains the same for each, DAQmx utilizes a completely different API than that of Traditional DAQ. Thus, you cannot integrate a DAQmx task or channel with a program written in Traditional DAQ. Since you already have a program in Traditional DAQ, I would suggest taking a look at the online tutorial “Transition from Traditional NI-DAQ to NI-DAQmx in LabVIEW” for an overview of the main differences between the drivers, as well as a side-by-side translation of numerous different types of measurements. Additionally, the tutorial “Learn 10 Functions in NI-DAQmx and Handle 80 Percent of Your Data Acquisition Applications” gives a good overview for developing a DAQmx application.

I would also strongly suggest making use of the LabVIEW example programs for data acquisition. These examples can be found in the LabVIEW Example Finder under Help » Find Examples. In the Example Finder, navigate to the folder Hardware Input and Output » DAQmx for a list of ready-to-use examples for numerous different acquisition types. You can also use these examples as a good starting point for building your own custom application. Hope this helps,

Dear Daniel S,

Thank for the guidance. I will read it first.
