Data Acquisition Using NI-DAQmx and LabVIEW

Explore the fundamentals of data acquisition using sensors, NI data acquisition hardware, and LabVIEW. Learn the basics of hardware selection, including resolution and sample rate, and the foundation of sensor connectivity, including grounding and wiring configurations. Use the NI-DAQmx driver to measure, generate, and synchronize data acquisition tasks. Program finite and continuous acquisitions, as well as best practices in hardware/software timing, triggering, and logging.
