Thank you for your reply,

I am using a LLB130 FUTEK miniature loadcell. It used o be USBbut I have cut the wire and connect Sig+ and Sig- to one BNC cable and Exc+and EXc- to another BNC cable. I attached the Exc BNC to USER terminal (5 V) and the signal cable to one of the analogue input of the DAQ card. I tried Analog input (voltage) VI  in labview it didnt work. I woud be thanful if you help me that hw can I read and process the signal in labview.

Thanks,

Omid
