DAQ Troubles

Hello all. I've been given a labview program written by someone else, and I'm trying to edit it so that it can measure and display 7 temperature values using a DAQ and Instacal. I am new to Labview, but I have been following along with the program enough to have an idea of how it works. I'm attaching a picture of the code that isn't performing as I thought it would. Previously, the index array only used indexes 0,1, and 2. I figured that adding more indexes for the additional sensors would be a good first step. How do you configure a DAQ reading vi to read more channels? I can provide pictures of the block diagrams for all the vis if necessary. Thanks a ton in advance, I'm pretty overwhelmed by this all haha.

I don't understand what you are asking for here.  You have Index Array giving you 7 1-D arrays of rows 0 through 6.  (Note, you don't need to wire up all of those index constants.  Index Array will give you those automatically.)

 

If you aren't reading 7 channels worth of data, then the problem is wherever you configured the task, which isn't shown in your subVI.  You need to show the VI that does the task configuration.

-You can use for loop and auto indexing option to simplify your current section of code even simpler and modular.

-Since you said you are beginner i thought below links will be helpful to get some learning along with examples shipped in LabVIEW ( Help->Find examples)
