Are there any CompacDAQ modules that work with LVDT's?
I happened upon the C programming function "DAQmxCreateAIPosLVDTChan()" while working with LabWindows/CVI. Is suggests that modules exist that work directly with unconditioned LVDT's. It that right? What NI hardward interfaces do this?

Hello
Currently there are no Compact DAQ module available for LVDT measurement. LVDT measurements are available in PCI, PXI and SCXI form factor. If it is an AC LVDT you can use AO to generate the AC voltage pass it of the Voltage follower ckt to get enough current and output of VF ckt can be passed the LVDT and AI 0 of one cDAQ module and output from the LVDT can be input to the AI 1of another cDAQ, module can perform phase difference and software. If you DA LVDT the AO from cDAQ module to VF ckt to LVDT and AI from the output of LVDT.
Thanks
