Using 9205 Voltage Module to collect a voltage difference from a strain gage

[kjayer08]

Hi,

I am working on a class project that involves gathering data from a strain gage with LabVIEW.  I am using the 9237 strain module as well as the 9205 voltage module.  I am having trouble hooking up the voltage module to gather the data.  I have a LabVIEW code all ready written up for the data collection, it is getting the data that is holding me up.  I am very new to LabVIEW and all of the National Instrument family.  Would someone be able to help me out with the wiring?  I would like to collect the voltage difference from the strain gage.

Thank You very much!

It would seem that you only need the 9237 module. It will digitize the signal from the strain gauge for you. You do not need the 9205 at all!

Good luck,

Ok. Thank you for your help! So then I need to edit the LabVIEW code then to get the voltage output correct?  If so any hints on how I would go about that.

Thank you,

Try the above links for examples. You will have to configue your 9237 in NI DAQmx, and then just call the task in your vi.

There should be enough here to get you going. Good luck.
