Hello again!
I am currently working on creating a data acquisition software for a mobile cart in a test lab. For our uses, I need to be able to accommodate a wide range and number of sensors based on the test we are performing. As such, I'm trying to create a software that adapts to the number of selected physical channels and separately graphs each type of input (Thermocouple, 0-10V, 4-20mA) on it's own histogram. I am able to correctly detect the number of selected channels and separate out the signals with the index array function. However, I cant seem to figure out how to plot multiple channels on a histogram for each data type. I'm attempting to use the 'build waveform' function, wiring each sensor to a Y value. (See images below for a simplified example of what I'm trying to do.) However, the output waveform seems to combine all the data into a single channel, rather than graphing each Y value as a separate channel.
Is there a better way to graph data acquired from multiple analog sources? Am I just missing something that will allow me to graph multiple channels from multiple sources on a histogram?
Thanks for reading!
Overview of inputs:
1. 0-64 TC inputs on 4x 9214 modules
2. 0-32 10V inputs on a 9205
3. 0-8 20mA inputs on a 9203
Backplane is a cDAQ-9189
Software is LabVIEW 2017
Example of how I am trying to create a waveform from data (5x TCs in this case)
The waveform created from the example. As we see, there is a single channel, rather than the 5 desired.
