Chapter 5 Logging Data
Getting Started with LabVIEW SignalExpress 5-6 ni.com
The default work area, Monitor/Record, allows you to take
measurements, analyze live data, and log data. You must be in the
Playback work area to use logged data as an input for an analysis step.
For example, you can take a measurement and log the signal in the
Monitor/Record work area, and then run the logged data through an
analysis step in the Playback work area.
2. Click the Add Step button, shown at left, and select the Filter step from
Processing»Analog Signals»Filter. LabVIEW SignalExpress
automatically selects the first signal you logged as the input to the
Filter step.
3. Navigate to the Data View. Drag the filtered data output of the Filter
step into the Data View to view the resulting signal.
4. Click the Run button, shown at left. The Data View displays the
resulting filtered signal and LabVIEW SignalExpress plays back the
entire log.
