Measuring Charge Programming Flowchart

The following flowchart depicts the main steps required in an NI-DAQmx application to measure charge. Alternatively, you can configure a task for measuring charge using the DAQ Assistant.

Tip   To increase performance, especially when multiple samples are read, include the Start function/VI and Stop function/VI in your application. In the previous flowchart, the Start function/VI would come just before you read samples, and Stop would come just before you clear the task.

You can use charge sensors to measure physical phenomenon such as acceleration and sound pressure with charge mode accelerometers and microphones. These measurements can be converted from coulombs to the appropriate engineering units using custom scales.

Measuring charge is an example of analog input measurement. Refer to Analog Input Programming Flowcharts for additional flowcharts that can help you create an application.
