So I finally got my microstrain sensors running after a headache of problems. Now im stuck...they supplied me with an SDK and labview examples to get started but I need help doing an integration. The attached VI streams the data and plots it accrodingly, but I want to use and accelerometer to graphically analyze velocity and postion. Can someone help me?

Hi Eli-
What data acquisition hardware do you have? Do you already have it set up?
Here is a great tutorial on connecting accelerometers to a data acquisition device.
Once you have that connected, the best thing would be to look at some of our examples that come shipped with LabVIEW. In LabVIEW, click on Help»Find Examples. Once the Example Finder opens, click on Hardware Input and Output»DAQmx»Analog Measurements»Acceleration. You will find several examples in this folder of taking acceleration data in LabVIEW.
I hope this helps. Have a great day!
