Automated Cable Tesing using PXI-2575 and PXI-4072

[Michael.Means]

I'm trying to create a program using the PXI-2575 and PXI-4072 that will automate cable testing of different fabricated cables to include: short testing, continuity testing, mis-pin identification.  I have tried looking all over the NI community as well as the rest of the web for examples on how to even begin, but I have come up short so far. Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

Hello Michael.Means,

Have you already taken a look at these:

- How to Use a Multimeter From National Instruments

- Digital Multimeter Measurement Fundamentals

- Continuity testing and NI 4072 DMM

Those links might shine a light on where to start.

Thank you for the info. This helps, but I have more questions about how to get the multiplexer to work correctly for what I want to do than the DMM.
