Most DAQmx devices provide
Connection Diagram in NI-MAX. This diagram illustrates how the wires should be aligned to the module, measurement type, and pin map. And it can be checked by creating NI-DAQmx Task. For Overview, please refer to the following documents:
Using Connection Diagrams for NI-DAQmx Tasks - Tutorialfor example, Steps for verifying the connection diagram in voltage measurement module 9202 is as follows.
- Select module to be used in NI-MAX (NI-MAX >>My System>>Device and Interfaces>>NI-9202)
- Click the Create Task..
- Choose the proper measurement type(NI 9202: Voltage) on the window
- Choose the specific channel to be used. You can select multiple channels with the keys (shift or Ctrl).
- Click Finish button.
- The generated task is listed at the bottom of the NI-DAQmx task. Select Connection Diagram at the bottom.
Additional Information
Connection Diagram does not support all DAQmx devices. If there is no DAQmx device, you can also create a Simulated DAQmx device to check. See the
NI-DAQmx Simulated Devices tutorial .
