LabView Instruction for adding more anolog inputs

Software - National Instruments (NI) LabView

• Open "RiSE_Extra_sensor_lines_noautoscale.vi" file located in [F:\users\LabView]
  • OR any currently working VI file
• 'Save As' preferred different name..
  • you don't want to mess up the working configuration
• Find the 'Extra sensors' text box area in the block diagram
  • Emily also wrote some notes on this in the Test Track folder (ie. you may want to browse thru the folder 1st and for any future Test Track/LabView questions)
• Copy sensor lines #5 or #6 to fit your new needs
• Modify the new sensor line(s) # to fit the desired analog input pin
• 'Add input' to combo element
  • This is the small rectangular block after the square sensor block
• Modify new sensor lines in "Properties" of the Extra Sensors SGL
  • Adjust the number of plots to display
  • Adjust plot properties if desired (color, name, etc.)

• Add array and converter to Extra Sensors SGL output
  • This is the same as what comes from the force plate data (2 blocks) before it goes to the write data block
• Add link from converted output to write file signal input

Hardware - SCB-68 Board pin connection

• Most VI files seem to be configured to use differential analog input mode
  • This means that the analog pins are paired <i,i+8>, ie. AI3 and AI11, and the pin voltage difference is the data that is recorded by LabView
• So, whatever pin you decide to use, you should GROUND the paired pin to get usable data
