What is the Vernier SensorDAQ and How Does It Interface with LabVIEW and NI-DAQmx?

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-DAQmx
Primary Software Version: 8.6.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I have the Vernier SensorDAQ.  Does this device work with National Instruments LabVIEW?

Solution:
The SensorDAQ is a USB data acquisition module sold by Vernier that uses the NI-DAQmx driver and National Instruments LabVIEW.



The official Vernier SensorDAQ page has links to the SensorDAQ driver, example programs, and a readme file. The SensorDAQ driver must be installed to use the device with Vernier sensors.

In order to use the SensorDAQ with LabVIEW, the following requirements must be met:
  1. LabVIEW 7.1 or later
  2. NI-DAQmx 8.6 or later
  3. Windows 2000, XP, or Vista
  4. A USB port
The SensorDAQ screw terminal connector can be accessed using DAQmx without needing Vernier's SensorDAQ driver. The screw terminal connector contains 2 analog input channels, 4 digital I/O lines, 1 analog output channel, and 1 counter.

Links to both LabVIEW and DAQmx product pages can be found below in the Related Links section.
