Description:
The NI ELVISmx Oscilloscope instrument acquires and displays data. The NI ELVIS II series hardware supports up to 8 channels of acquisition and digital and analog edge triggering.
Caution: If you want to modify the software code for this instrument, the code requires advanced knowledge of LabVIEW software programming. The LabVIEW proficiency of a Certified LabVIEW Developer or higher is suggested to modify the software code.
I/O Connections Overview:
Connect the signal(s) you want to measure to the analog input channel(s) on the device. For further connection information, refer to your hardware reference manual.
Instructions:
Complete the following steps to measure a signal with the NI ELVISmx Oscilloscope instrument:
1. Connect the signal(s) you want to measure to the analog input channel(s).
2. If you are using an external digital trigger, connect your signal to the desired PFI or TRIG line. You may also trigger off of the SYNC line which is a TTL pulse that is synchronous with the output of the FGEN.
3. Enable the channel(s) corresponding to your signals by clicking the blue Enable buttons on the front panel.
4. Configure the appropriate trigger settings if you are using a trigger.
5. Click Start. You should see the signal in the display window once a trigger is received.
6. Adjust the Time/Div, and Scale as desired.
