Signal reading

[valecell_]

Hi All,

I'm newer to the use of a NI DAQ Multifunction System.

I'm using the NI USB X SERIES 6366. I would like to see the analog signal generated by a photodiode array coupled with the circuit driver on my PC after the installation of the required software. Anyway, I didn't find a proper documentation for this.

Could anyway help me?

Cheers,

Valeria

Are you looking to automate the DAQ using some programming language? 

If not, the DAQmx Test Panels come in handy for basic needs and DAQExpress and FlexLogger are good advanced options.

Hi,

Thanks for  your reply. Yes, I'm not using a LabView code. I want simply to see the signals on my PC. So, if I understood correctly I have to install DAQExpress (I have already done installed it). But DAQExpress doesn't contain DAQmx Test Panels, does it?

Cheers

DAQmx test panels come with DAQmx driver and are available in NI MAX software.

Please read this article on how to use DAQmx test panels - https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000YGZPCA4&l=en-US

DAQExpress is different software.

Hi,

thanks, perfect. I installed DAQExpress on my laptop. So, I should focus on it.

Thanks for your reply,
