Setting Sampling Rate

[SoLost]

I'm having some trouble figuring out at what rate I'm sampling from my DAQ card into LabVIEW. I'm taking some accelerometer measurements into the analog inputs of the DAQ card. I konw there are both hardware and software methods of setting sampling rate. How can I control this with labVIEW? How do I know if a hardware sampling rate is interfering with it? Thanks.

I'm using LabVIEW 8.0 and a LabJack U12 DAQ card.

Hi SoLost,

This is entirely dependant on the drivers for your DAQ device.  LabJack most likely has a LabVIEW driver provided so that you can access your device within LabVIEW, but this would be entirely developed by them.  The driver may come with some kind of documentation to help you learn the API, but any questions on how to use these drivers would probably need to be directed to LabJack directly.  The driver should have some function to set the frequency, but this is independant of our software.
