An Introduction to Data Acquisition with NI CompactDAQ and NI LabVIEW

David L. Trumper, Professor of Mechanical Engineering

Jan/25 Fri 01:00PM-04:00PM 35-122, Bring your laptop with Labview Installed

Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Prereq: none

 In this seminar, you’ll get started with NI LabVIEW System Design Software to easily acquire, analyze, and record data from any sensor using the industry-leading NI CompactDAQ modular hardware platform. 

Reserve your spot by registering online 


If you have further questions, contact Josh Brown at josh.brown@ni.com  or registration@ni.com. Due to hardware limitations there will be a hard cap of 24 people for this seminar.

You must have Labview 2012 installed on a laptop and able to be run before you come to the activity:

1.  Download and install LabVIEW from the link below. 
       http://www.ni.com/trylabview/ (click the “See Download options” and choose “Professor or Student?” 
2. Download and install NI-DAQmx 9.6 from the link below. 
       http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/3423/lang/en (IMPORTANT: Install LabVIEW first) 
3. Go the link below and review “Developer Zone Tutorial: LabVIEW Core 1 - The Software Development Method” and “Developer Zone Tutorial: Introduction to Data Acquisition”. You can do this while LabVIEW and NI-DAQmx are downloading and installing. It should take you 30-60 minutes.

Note to MacIntosh users: We recommend that you use Boot Camp. You can run LabVIEW natively in the Mac OS but your user experience will be different when you are access hardware such as DAQ devices.
