Can I test for open or shorted accelerometers using an NI9234 module?

I'm using multiple NI9234 modules to acquire data from accelerometers.  Is there anyway in LabVIEW to test the health of the accelerometers?  I'm looking for either open or shorted accelerometers.

 

THANKS

Hi NI_1424,

 

From LabVIEW, we just read the voltages that are on the NI 9234. If you are expecting a voltage from an accelerometer but it is reading 0 V, it could be shorted or open. So, the short answer is "no". But you can deduce faulty accelerometers if you understand your setup and are seeing unexpected values.
