  1. If I still wanted two programs how would I do it? Does one program need to have the connection name or both, and what is the connection name? The file name or something else? set the IP address to localhost 127.0.0.1?
  2. Hello, They are on the same computer. The pump program will only be ran on one computer but the daq software could be running on 4 computers, and the pump could be connected to any of the 4. Just to simplify the user side of it all really, using the pump run the pump software and if extra inputs are needed use the daq software, if not just the daq software. Thanks Cameron
  3. Hello I am wondering if there is a possibility of creating 2 DAQfactory programs that can communicate with each other. Break down: I have one software which controls a hydraulic pump and recording Displacement and pressure, and another software which is recording various other sensors and is a separate unit. I would like the pump software and the daq to know that both are running and which allows the displacement and the pressure to be recorded also in the daq software so that it recorded roughly the same time. Also the pump may not be connected every time. Is there a flag or something I can set? Thanks Cameron
  4. Thank you for your help, I was a bit confused with the value as I thought you meant the channel [0] but after that misunderstanding was cleared up that I needed to put Value in, worked with the conversion. Kind Regards Cameron
  5. Hello, So I should use global variables and put those into a test channel. The only real problem I am having is where to put the add value function. Is it in the test channel event tab or say where I run my quick sequence on the button? Eg button code: Global loadcellZero = loadcell[0] LoadcellTest. AddValue(loadcellZero) Then create a conversion for the test channel: LoadcellZero =Loadcell[0] - loadcellZero does this sound somewhat correct? kind regards Cameron
  6. Hello, Very new to DAQFactory, the program I am trying to create is a simple loadcell and LVDT, has a zero loadcell and LVDT button and shows the values and logs the value - zero'd value. I have everything but the logging working, because it is only logging the V on the input. I was doing all of my conversions with V channels and when I zero my sensors and hit log it still only records the original and not zero'd value. Haven't had a great look at converting the value to a different unit yet using conversions. Assume the test channel I create are called LVDTTest andLoadcellTest. I had a look on the forum and found people saying to do something along the lines of LVDTTest.addvalue(myinput[0] * 50 + 4) to a test channel. Not exactly sure I am doing it correctly, is it meant to go into the event of the LVDTTest channel or somewhere else. Or is there an easier way that I just cant think of. Any help much appreciated. Kind Regards Cameron
