Devantech TPA81 Read Temperature Array "Physical Channel not Be Specified"

[Jasonhwa]

Hi, I am new to Labview.

I need to use a TPA81 thermal sensor in my Dani robot project so I found the "Devantech TPA81 Read Temperature Array" example in Robotics Examples. I connect my sensor to a USB-I2C converter and then connected to my PC. I run the program but the problem "the physical channel is not specified" always exists. How to choose the physical channel in labview for the clock channel and data channel ?

Could anyone please help me and thank you in advance.

HI.

The example given here "Read Devantech TPA81 temperature matrix", only works with acquisition cards supported by the driver "DAQmx" therefore, I think it will not work with a simple converter "USB - I2C".
Now, on the other hand, if you just want to work with the sensor "TPA81" in the robot DANI, you could see the example "Devantech TPA81 (FPGA). Lvprog" in the LabVIEW Help, where in the "FPGA Target" , you will find the VI "Devantech TPA81 (FPGA). saw", where you can configure the channels (clock and data).

Thank you for your suggestion, and now it works with NI-6008, and I am working on the FPGA application for TPA81.
