LabVIEW Student Version

[GaryatNeo]

Hello - I'm new to LabView. Purchased LabVIEW Student version about 1 year ago. Just starting with it now.

First problem I've encountered is wiring the 'Read" block to a gauge. I have a type mismatch.

Is there a way to re-configure the 'read block' to 1 channel, single sample? I'm following along an older YouTube video and the palette choices I have don't match the video.

Is this because I have a limited Student Version? Also, is DAQ Assistant gone? I can't find that either - it appears in the video.

Thank you all.

Gary P.

Which "Read" are you referring to?  I'm guessing DAQmx Read.  A snapshot of your code would help use a lot here.

No, the DAQ Assistant is still there.  You might need to reinstall DAQmx in order to add the LabVIEW support.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, it is a DAQmx Base READ function. When I try to wire it to a gauge, I get the typemismatch.

I also see now that there is also a second error - Task/Channel not wired.

I do not know how to provide a snapshot of my code yet.

Also, Should I be on another board - I don't want to take up anyone's time with beginner questions if I should be somewhere else.

Why are you using DAQmx Base instead of regular DAQmx?  What OS are you using?

I'm using Windows 7

DAQmx Base is meant for Macs.  And I think it doesn't include the DAQ Assistant.  See the OS listed here http://www.ni.com/download/ni-daqmx-base-15.0/5648/en/

You should remove it and install regular DAQmx.
