Challenge: Acquire and display a signal

“

(playful music) - [Narrator] It's time for a challenge to practice programming with the DAQmx API. Starting from a blank VI, your goal is to build a program using the individual DAQmx VIs to perform continuous analog input and display the acquired signal on a waveform graph. You can configure settings like the input mode and sample rate to values that are appropriate for your device and setup. For my solution, I'll be using my USB-6001 with a sample rate of 20 kilo-samples per second. Based on the sample rate you choose, you should configure the number of samples per channel to read each time, such that the program will read a new chunk of samples two times per second. If you're using a real multifunction DAQ device that has both analog input and analog output channels, you can use the analog output channel as your signal source for this challenge by wiring it to the input and then using the device's test panel in max…
