Complete the following steps to start acquiring signals with
VirtualBench-Scope:
1. If you are using a DAQ device, connect a signal to the Channel 0 input
of your device. Refer to the user manual of your DAQ device for
details. For example, on a 68-pin MIO E-series device, connect a signal
to pins 68 (ACH0) and 67 (AIGND) for a referenced single-ended
input.
If you are using an IVI device, connect a signal to the appropriate
channel of your device. Refer to Chapter 4, Configuring Your System,
in the IVI Driver Library User Manual for more information about
configuring your IVI virtual instrument.
2. Configure VirtualBench-Scope.
a. Select Edit»General Settings on the front panel.
b. Select the National Instruments DAQ or IVI instrument you want
to use from the Acquire tab of the Scope Settings dialog box,
shown in Figure 2-2. If a device does not appear in the Instrument
list, make sure you have properly configured the instrument using
the Measurement & Automation Explorer or you have configured
an IVIScope virtual instrument in the Measurement &
Automation Explorer. Refer to Chapter 4, Configuring Your
System, in the IVI Driver Library User Manual for more
information about configuring your IVI virtual instrument.
