Where is my DAQ assistant?

[Tomouk]

Hi,

Im probably being quite silly here but i have LabView 8.0 evaluation copy, im currently attempting a project to do with data acquisition, analysis, storage and graphical representation etc. I have looked at some online tutorials and in all of them it starts off with the DAQ assistant under input section in the functions palette. I cant see that DAQ assistant therfore cannot try out the basic exercises. The tutorial said something about a NI-DAQmx API is that what i need or does the evaluation copy not include it or what? Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Tom Betts

Dear Tomouk,

The DAQ Assistant Express VI is provide/installed with the driver NI-DAQmx.
NI-DAQmx is a free drivers that you need when you want to use/communicate with a multifunction DAQ board.
You can download this driver under "Driver Multifunction DAQ"

When you want more informations about Multifunction DAQ, you can see the follow link:

NI-DAQmx Express VI Tutorial

Hi Monica,

You will find the limitation of LabVIEW Evalutation version under:
Limitations of the LabVIEW Evaluation Version

To resume, with the Evaluation, you have allmost all the advantages of the LabVIEW Professional Development Version during 30 days.

Hi Monica,

Just to make fool of LabVIEW!

Change the system date to some future year & install the evaluation version.

It ll be there for more than 30 days.

Hello Monica,

The answer is YES, Your are able to acquire Data with a DAQ device and the LabVIEW Professional Development Version.
But you need to install the Drivers of your USB or PCI device.

The last driver (for National Instruments Data Acquisiton devices) is the NI-DAQmx 8.7.1 and you will find it under Drivers and Update.

Best regards,

Hello,

Wonder if anyone could point me in the right direction, i have a Student version of Labview, 8.5, and the USB-6008 board. Now I have successfully (i think) installed Labview and all of its other programs and also the NI drivers CD.

The DAQ board works with Measurement & Automation and it recognises the board and the self test goes ok.

The problem is when when I try to use to Labview, I can't find the DAQ Assistant.

Could someone please help.

Thank you in advance.

Lee.
