Usage
When first starting DASYLab, you should see LabJack.DLL loaded in the console window if the driver was loaded properly.
Any visible device hardware can be configured by navigating to: Measurement → Hardware Setup → LabJack → LJM.
Configurations will be saved to INI files under C:\Users\Public\Documents\DASYLab\15.1.0\eng\devices\LABJACK-LJM-TASK. The 15.1.0 folder should correspond to the DASYLab version. When exporting a circuit diagram to a new computer, the associated INI configuration files should be exported as well. The name of a task holds the following information:
-
Device Type
-
Serial number
-
USB / Ethernet
-
Type AI, AO, DI, DO
-
For AO and DO there are also tasks that specifically take over a job when the measurement is stopped. These also have the name of the hardware line.
Device IO can be controlled using modules. LabJack modules are found under: Modules → Inputs / Outputs → LabJack → DAQ.
To modify acquisition rates and other measurement details, navigate to: Measurement → Measurement Setup → LabJack → DAQ Measurement Setup.
Examples
Thermocouples
The archive below contains a worksheet that acquires a single Type K thermocouple measurement on AIN0. The worksheet was designed using a T7, but only minor modifications and hardware re-configuration should be necessary to use other T-Series devices. Be sure that the conversion CtoVTypeK loads the included thermocouple_k_0-400c.dpf file.
