  3. My System -> Devices and Interfaces -> NI cDAQ-9174 "cDAQ1" -> 1:NI9237 "cDAQ1Mod1"
    • My System -> Devices and Interfaces -> NI cDAQ-9174 "cDAQ1" -> 1:NI9237 "cDAQ1Mod1"

    • Clicking "test panels" opens the window to view the load cell's information.

  4. Click the "Start" button on the load cell's MAX window to get the value of voltage measured by the load cell at the instant of button clicking.
    • Click the "Start" button on the load cell's MAX window to get the value of voltage measured by the load cell at the instant of button clicking.

    • This method of acquiring the voltage output by the load cell would be used when calibrating the load cell.

  5. My System -> Devices and Interfaces -> NI cDAQ-9174 "cDAQ1" -> 2:NI9215 "cDAQ1Mod2"
    • My System -> Devices and Interfaces -> NI cDAQ-9174 "cDAQ1" -> 2:NI9215 "cDAQ1Mod2"

    • Clicking "Test Panels" opens up a window with the inclinometer's information.

  6. Click the "Start" button on the inclinometer's MAX window to get the value of voltage measured by the inclinometer.
    • Click the "Start" button on the inclinometer's MAX window to get the value of voltage measured by the inclinometer.

    • Unlike the load cell's data, the inclinometer's MAX window gives continous voltage readings until the "Stop" button is pressed.
