Labview interface with Instron 3360 Series (for compressive test)

[gibiv]

Hello Forums!

I have to write a LabVIEW code to read the Instron 3360 to compress a thin-walled cylinder. The cylinder is expected to withstand about 500lb. How do I go about doing this?

- Thanks!

Can you tell me a little more about your application? More specifically:

1. What is the input/output of the instrument you are using to measure force?

2. Are you using NI Hardware to communicate with this device?

3. What drivers are you using?

4. What version of LabVIEW are you using?

I have included some general information below about configuring a data acquisition system in LabVIEW.
