Validating Your Hardware with Measurement Panels
Launch a measurement panel from SystemDesigner to validate your hardware, specify measurement inputs and outputs, and configure tasks.
Tip It is helpful to think of measurement panels as the same as test panels and tasks in NI MAX or interactive soft front panels available in driver software.
- Install the drivers your local machine needs to communicate with and control the hardware.
- Verify SystemDesigner detects your hardware in the Live view.
-
Navigate to Live view of SystemDesigner.
Note If a device match exists on the Design view, you can also launch a measurement panel for the matched device from the Design view.
- Locate the device you want to validate and configure to acquire measurement data.
- Click the device on the diagram.
- On the Item tab, expand Use hardware section.
- Click Create measurement panel to launch a measurement panel.
After you validate and configure your hardware with measurement panels, you can acquire and analyze your measurement data.
