Using a Unity Gain Buffer (Voltage Follower) with a DAQ Device. 1.
Introduction Transducers, a common component of any data acquisition system, convert physical phenomena, such as strain or pressure, into electrical signals that can be acquired by a data acquisition (DAQ) device. Common examples of transducers include microphones, thermometers, thermocouples, and strain gauges. When selecting a transducer for use with a DAQ device, it is important to consider the input and output range of the transducer and whether it outputs voltage or current. Often, the sensor and DAQ device require signal conditioning components to be added to the system to acquire a signal from the sensor or to take full advantage of the resolution of the DAQ device. Using NI myDAQ with NI LabVIEW Graphical Development Software.
MyDAQ. Getting Started with NI LabVIEW Student Training. This student training provides an introduction to basic programming in LabVIEW software through three methods of learning: tutorial, video, and exercises.
The tutorial and video cover the same topics, so use whichever you prefer – both offer the fundamental concepts you need to get started. The training begins with the video and/or tutorial followed by the corresponding exercises to test your foundational understanding of the topic and help you explore the topic in more detail. Required Software for Exercises • NI LabVIEW 8.5 or later If you do not currently have NI LabVIEW 8.5 or later installed on your computer, you can download the NI LabVIEW Evaluation Version to use for the training.
