Datalogging and Monitoring User Guide

This document discusses data logging and monitoring capabilities. It allows logging up to 32 channels of data simultaneously from National Instruments DAQ devices to files, SQL Server databases locally or remotely, or remote data cloud services. The data can be monitored using a separate dashboard application on iPad or Android devices. Web services are available to retrieve specific channel values or all channel values. A data cloud service is also available to log data to remotely.

National Instruments. Examples of Such DAQ Devices are USB-6001, USB-6008, USB-6009, myDAQ, etc.
You can log up till 32 Channels simultaneously (depending on the DAQ device you are using).

Logging Options:
- Log Data to File (*lvm Files)

You can use an existing SQL Server or install a new SQL Server either on this computer or in a network or Internet.
Microsoft SQL Server Express can be downloaded for free on Internet.

Data Monitoring:
You can also use the "Data Dashboard for LabVIEW App" on iPad or Android devices in order to Monitor the Data
you are Logging.
