Using NI 4351 getting started subVI

[Kevin Gu]

After I installed the 435x software, I found VIs in the LabVIEW function palette. They are under Input>Instr Drivers>NI435X>Samples. There is one VI named 435X getting started. The online help says it works on 4351 with accessories. The accessory I have is TBX-68T, which has auto-zero and cold conjuction compensation.

I used it in my VI and the connections are as following:
Insturment descriptor -> DAQ::1 (string const)
Channel string -> 2 (string const)
Number of scans -> 100 (numeric const)
Mode -> 12 (numeric const)
Upper limit -> 2500 (numeric const)
lower limit -> 0 (numeric const)
scaled data -> waveform graph
error -> error indicator

When I started this VI, the error light is immediately on and on waveform show
ed in the graph.

Is there any examples using the 534X VIs?

Kevin,

The example we recommend using is actually in the LabVIEW example finder and uses the NI-DAQ VIs to program the 435x board. To find this example, open the LabVIEW Example Finder (Help » Find Examples...), click on the Search tab, search for 435x, then select 435x in the keyword list below the search box. This will return several results. I recommend starting with the 435x Thermocouple.vi example. This one is pretty straight forward to start out with. Feel free to post again if you have questions about it.
