AIChannelCollection.CreateTedsForceBridgeChannel Method (String, String, Double, Double, AIForceUnits, AIExcitationSource, Double)
Creates an AIChannel that uses a Wheatstone bridge to measure force or load. You must configure the physical channel(s) with TEDS information to use this method. NI-DAQmx scales electrical values to physical values according to that TEDS information. This method adds one or more physical channels to the AIChannelCollection.

Parameters

physicalChannelName
Type: SystemString
The names of one or more physical channels to use to create one or more local virtual channels.
nameToAssignChannel
Type: SystemString
One or more names to assign to the created local virtual channels. To use the physical channel name as the local virtual channel name, set this value to Empty.
minimumValue
Type: SystemDouble
The minimum value you expect to measure, in units.
maximumValue
Type: SystemDouble
The maximum value you expect to measure, in units.
units
Type: NationalInstruments.DAQmxAIForceUnits
The units to use to return the measurement.
voltageExcitationSource
Type: NationalInstruments.DAQmxAIExcitationSource
The source of excitation.
voltageExcitationValue
Type: SystemDouble
The amount of excitation in volts that the sensor requires.

Return Value

Type: AIChannel
The newly created AIChannel.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
DaqExceptionThe NI-DAQmx driver returned an error.

Remarks

The NI-DAQmx driver does not determine if the requested settings are possible until the task is verified. This method does not throw an exception for parameter values that are not compatible with your hardware or other settings in your task. To determine if all of the settings for a Task are valid, you must verify the task by starting the task, either with Start or by reading from or writing to the task, or by calling Control(TaskAction) with Verify.
