displaying a graph from a signal generator

[eckhartp]

I am extremely new to labview and I am still trying to navigate my way around the basics.

How do I display a graph using a signal generator?  I am using NI USB-6251 and I have connected the signal generator to AI.0.  I used the input daq which turned into a task.  Used the read component and wired it to a graph indicator, but I am not showiing the waveform. What am I doing wrong?

Hello eckhartp, 

My recommendation if you are just getting started would be to begin with one of the analog input examples included with LabVIEW.  From within LabVIEW, you can select "Find Examples..." from the Help menu, which will bring up the Example Finder.  I would recommend taking a look at "Voltage - Continuous Input.vi", which can be found by searching in the finder.  You should be able to select your analog input channel from the pull down, and see your data on the graph.  Use one of these examples as a template for your project.

Alternatively, here is a good reference page for DAQmx general information:  http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5434/en

Feel free to post any follow-up questions you may have!

Hi all!!

           I'm using Agilent DSO-X 2002A oscilloscope. I have communicated the oscilloscope through LABVIEW2011. Now I'm getting problem in configuring two wave forms simultaneously by time delay. How to start acquiring data simultaneously..

Expecting the reply soon...
