Using NI USB 6001 with LabVIEW Home Bundle

[willsrw]

Hi

I just purchased LabVIEW Home Bundle.  I am trying to figure out how to make the Home Bundle acquire measurements from a NI USB 6001.  I am building a small test stand for our rocket club to test motors on.  We got the local maker space to build the stand and someone suggested the Home Bundle and let us use the 6001.

There appears to be no drivers for any USB DAQ boards.  Can anyone advise me how to interface the software with the hardware.  All the previous versions of LabVIEW I've been shown have a DAQ Assist to set up the interface.  I've also seen even earlier versions have ways to call USB devices.  They appear to be absent from Home Bundle.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi, Member

Did you install DAQmx driver on your computer? DAQmx driver makes your computer recognize the device USB 6001 and control the device.

Depending on the version of LabVIEW, the version of DAQmx driver you have to install is differ.

Before installing the driver, check the readme file to check the supporting LabVIEW version.

You can download the driver here : https://www.ni.com/ko-kr/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-daqmx.html#311818

After installing the driver, you can easily check or handle data trough 'test panel'.

Please refer to this document : http://www.ni.com/tutorial/4638/en/

In Labview, you can refer to the example.
