DAQ
• DATA ACQUISITION (DAQ) IS THE PROCESS OF MEASURING
AN ELECTRICAL OR PHYSICAL PHENOMENON SUCH AS
VOLTAGE IN THIS CASE WITH A COMPUTER.

DAQ SET UP IN HARDWARE

• TURN ON THE
DAQ SO THAT
THE VI CAN BE
SET UP IN
LABVIEW
AFTERWARDS

DAQ SET UP IN LABVIEW

• Right click on block diagram  Functions  Measurement I/O
 NI DAQmx  DAQ assist

• Generate signals  Analog Output  Voltage  ao0

Referenced Single
Ended (RSE)
Measures the potential difference
between the AI and the AI GND
