Chapter 2 VirtualBench-Scope
©
National Instruments Corporation 2-3 Getting Started with VirtualBench
Acquiring Data
You can start acquiring signals with VirtualBench-Scope by completing
the following steps:
1. Connect a signal to the Channel 0 input of your National
Instruments DAQ device. See 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.
2. Configure VirtualBench-Scope.
a. Select Settings from the Edit menu on the front panel.
b. Select the National Instruments device you want to use from
the General tab of the Settings dialog box. If a device does not
appear in the Device menu ring, make sure you have properly
configured the device using the NI-DAQ Configuration Utility.
c. Specify which channels on the data acquisition device
correspond to the VirtualBench-Scope channels, using the
Channels tab. For an MIO E-series device, you would select
VirtualBench-Scope Ch 1 to be representative of DAQ
Channel 0.
