Hello again
So I've been working with the program above and I am realizing that it is probably way too complex for what I need. Thus I am going to list the hardware and software that I am using, as well as what I would like to accomplish. Hopefully someone can answer a few questions that I have at the end as well.
Okay, so I am acquiring signals with FlexiForce sensors (measure force, output voltage). I want to take the voltage (which is analog) and input it into my NI USB 6215 board so that I can use it in LV 8.6. In LV, I need to have these signals programmed so that they output when the voltage is over a certain value (i.e. 5V). Furthermore, when these signals output, they must be digital, andtravel to a 1240 i Applied Motions motor driver. This driver will then prompt a Step Motor (P/N 5014-820) to move.
Now for the questions:
1). How will I convert the signal from Analog to Digital to make it compatible with the motor driver?
2). Can I use DAQ assistants to acquire the signals in a LV program and then output them via the DAQ board?
Any examples of something similar to the above would be much appreciated. Thanks and let me know if any additional info is needed.
