% --- Hardware Configuration ---

% Assuming you have a National Instruments DAQ device (e.g., USB-6008)

% and a sensor connected to analog input channel 0 (ai0).

% You may need to adjust the device and channel names based on your setup.

% --- Create DAQ Session ---

s = daq.createSession('ni'); % 'ni' for National Instruments devices

% --- Add Analog Input Channel ---

ch = addAnalogInputChannel(s, 'Dev1', 'ai0', 'Voltage'); % 'Dev1' might change.

% --- Configure Channel Properties ---

ch.Range = [-10 10]; % Set input voltage range (adjust as needed)

ch.TerminalConfig = 'SingleEnded'; % or 'Differential', 'PseudoDifferential'

% --- Set Acquisition Parameters ---

s.Rate = 1000; % Sampling rate (samples per second)

s.DurationInSeconds = 10; % Acquisition duration (seconds)

% --- Acquire Data ---

disp('Acquiring data...');

data = startForeground(s); % Acquire data synchronously

time = (0:length(data)-1)'/s.Rate; % Generate time vector

disp('Data acquisition complete.');

% --- Display and Analyze Data ---

figure;

plot(time, data);

xlabel('Time (s)');

ylabel('Voltage (V)');
title('Acquired Data');

% --- Basic Analysis ---

meanValue = mean(data);

stdValue = std(data);

fprintf('Mean Value: %.4f V\n', meanValue);

fprintf('Standard Deviation: %.4f V\n', stdValue);

% --- Saving Data to File ---

% Example: Saving to a CSV file

dataTable = table(time, data, 'VariableNames', {'Time', 'Voltage'});

writetable(dataTable, 'acquired_data.csv');

disp('Data saved to acquired_data.csv');

% --- Further Analysis ---

% You can perform more advanced analysis, such as:

% - Filtering (e.g., using `filter` function)

% - Frequency analysis (e.g., using `fft` function)

% - Signal processing techniques

% - Building predictive models

% - etc.

% --- Cleanup ---

clear s; % Clear the session object
