Hi,
I'm new to LabView and how to use these modules. I want to use a digital hall effect sensor to measure the RPM of a rotating shaft.
How do I output a continuous 5 volts from NI 9401 to power the sensor, while also acquiring the measurement?
Steps I need to take:
1) Generate 5V signal on output line to power the sensor (sensor can be powered from 3V to 28V).
2) Acquire digital signal from sensor on a separate line on the module.
3) Convert digital signal to frequency.
I've tried working through DAQAssistant to generate an output signal. All it gives me when I set up a Digital Line Output is a checkbox to Invert Line. I set the Generation Mode to Continuous Samples, and that is all I changed. Where do I go from here? Once I get the 5V power to the sensor, do I need a separate while loop for the input line or can everything be in one loop?
Thanks in advance!
