Shown Sensor-Value jumps from 0 to -0

[neffets39]

Hello,

i'm new in LABVIEW and I want to use a Burster 8661 Torque-Sensor, which is connected via USB. I installed the LabWindows-Drivers via the Labview Instrument Driver Import Wizard. I followed the Instructions in the Manual of Burster.

I made a Little Labview-Program, that should read the Serial Number and the Torque. The Serial Number is detected and shown correctly. So I guess, that the Driver is installed correctly ?

The Torque jumps between 0 and -0, depending on the turn-direction of the measurement-shaft, but does not Show the real Torque-Value.

Can anybody help me or had a similar Problem?

Thanks for your help!

Kind regards

Steffen

Steffen, it's not clear to me whether you are programming in CVI or LabView!

Just a guess: could it be that your sensor has a less-than-1Nm range? If so you could read the correct value simply adding some digits of precision to your indicator.

If not, taking a look at your code may help to understand what's happening: if you are working in CVI you may post it here, otherwise you should repost this entire question to the LabView board, possibly adding your VI

Hello,

thank you for your fast answer. I am programming in LabView using Labview 2016. I will check if i can add some Digits of precision. I used the Labview Labwindows Import wizard, which is why is used (probably falsely) this Forum and I will add this Topic to the LabView Forum... Thank you!
