Will Labview come with any datalogger from NI Instruments?

Hi Cesar,

two questions:

- Which "datalogger from NI" are you talking about?

- Why don't you call your local NI sales rep to ask that question?

[BertMcMahan]

Cesar, LabVIEW is a programming language. If you want to create a datalogger you will need to write your own. There are some templates and examples that will get you close, but nothing "off the shelf".

I think you may have misunderstood what LabVIEW is- your question is somewhat like asking if Microsoft Word comes with Documents.

Ni 6001. I was asking here, because i havent  found before. Thanks for the support.

[BertMcMahan]

No, there is no standard datalogger for the 6001 DAQ card. You'd need to write your own or find a company that makes one.

Note that this is a very simple program to write, and can basically just be a copy of one of the example programs in the NI Example Finder- the Measurement and Logging example should be 99.5% of what you need, with some user interface tweaks on top to match your specific application.

Well, this is the LabVIEW forum, so a post titled "LABVIEW" seems a bit redundant, right? Next time try something that is related to the question. 😄

LabVIEW is a programming environment. As has been said, it does come with examples and others might have written LabVIEW programs that do what you want. Just search around.

If you want just standalone software for simple logging, there is also the free Signalexpress LE. Not sure if it is compatible with your hardware.

LabVIEW NXG has a built in DAQ configuration editor.  I think it also will allow logging.  Even with LabVIEW 20XX, you can just open up a simple example (Help->Find Examples) and find a DAQmx analog input example that will allow logging.

Don't devices like the 6001 come with DAQmx software that is a basic data logging suite I believe.

[BertMcMahan]

DAQmx itself isn't a logging suite, that's just the driver set to talk to the card, but it does include SignalExpress, which can be used to log data. Altenbach was right, I didn't know about SignalExpress. See this link for what he's talking about:

That's it, Signal Express, I knew they came with something we never use.
