Anyone ever use a Labjack with LabVIEW?

Measuring voltage with the device is problematic due to a persistent reading of approximately 1.28V, even when 0V is applied. Grounding does not resolve the issue, and there are concerns about whether the device scales linearly with applied voltages, as a 5V input shows a reading of 6.2V. The readings appear accurate at higher voltages, but discrepancies arise with smaller inputs, suggesting potential issues with hardware or signal impedance affecting the analog inputs. Recommendations point towards checking the device's specifications and impedance compatibility.

If anyone has, then I sure can use some help. I'n trying to measure a voltaage with one of the inputs on the jack and I keep getting screwed up measurements since the Input always has some voltage on it no matter what. Even if I apply 0V to it, it will still measure around 1.28V. Does anyone here who has used this device have any idea how to fix this, or do I just have to nwork around it? Thanks alot.

EDIT: I'm sorry, I went to GD out of habit and posted here! Could someone please move this to the correct forum? Thanks again!

Even if you ground it its still showing 1.2v?

What about when you hook up a voltage, does it scale linearly? (5v input shows 6.2v)?

I have some labview experience, but if youre getting readings perhaps its faulty or leaky hardware.
 
Thats the weird thing. When I hook up a voltage of 5V, the thing reads 5V!

I only see this other voltage when the applied voltage is small. I really have no idea what's wrong, here.
 
Sounds like you are talking about the LabJack U12. Sounds like your signal has too much impedance and can't properly drive the U12 analog inputs. See the following from our forum:

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
