Usb based data acquistion module, and interfacing it with labview?

  • #1
I want to make my own usb based data acquistion module, and try interfacing it with labview?

Now I have a few questions, since i am quite new to it:


Where do I get started?
Can I do the interfacing(with labview) via parallel port ? or serially ?
Can the Module be made using PIC Microcontroller ?

Just a temperature sensor would be enough ? Is it possible doing it over breadboard?

Are there any Module Simulators in the market to work with labview ?


Thank You

1. What is a USB based data acquisition module?

A USB based data acquisition module is a hardware device that is used to collect data from various sensors and instruments in a laboratory or other scientific setting. It connects to a computer via a USB port and allows for real-time data collection and analysis.

2. How do I interface a USB based data acquisition module with LabVIEW?

To interface a USB based data acquisition module with LabVIEW, you will need to use a driver or software development kit (SDK) provided by the manufacturer. This will allow LabVIEW to communicate with the module and access the data it collects.

3. Can I use multiple USB based data acquisition modules simultaneously with LabVIEW?

Yes, as long as your computer has enough available USB ports, you can use multiple USB based data acquisition modules simultaneously with LabVIEW. However, you may need to configure the software and hardware settings to ensure that the modules are not interfering with each other's data collection.

4. What types of sensors and instruments can a USB based data acquisition module connect to?

USB based data acquisition modules can connect to a wide range of sensors and instruments, including temperature sensors, pressure sensors, accelerometers, strain gauges, and many others. The specific types of sensors and instruments will depend on the capabilities of the module and the manufacturer's specifications.

5. Are there any limitations or drawbacks to using a USB based data acquisition module with LabVIEW?

One potential limitation of using a USB based data acquisition module with LabVIEW is that it may have a limited number of channels or inputs, which could restrict the number of sensors or instruments that can be connected at once. Additionally, the speed and accuracy of data collection may be affected by the USB connection and the capabilities of the module. It is important to carefully consider the specifications and capabilities of the module before purchasing and using it with LabVIEW.
