LabVIEW program in a quick and clean method. Simply click and drag the
Analog Express VI into the block diagram. The Express VI will provide a
popup dialog that allows you to configure all five analog inputs, view and
modify the calibration coefficients, zero the sensor reading, choose the
sensor units, set the data-collection rate, length of the experiment, as well as
any triggering.
Motion Express
Use this Express VI to configure data acquisition from the Vernier Motion
Detector connected to DIG Channel. In addition, the popup dialog of this
Express VI allows feedback on your hardware connections.
Data Logging
The data logging palette of subVIs are designed for building LabVIEW
programs that have the features and analysis required for classroom
experimentation. View the examples in the Data Logging folder to see how
these driver VIs, analysis VIs, and Utility VIs can be used.

DCU Control
The Vernier Digital Control Unit (DCU) is a piece of hardware that connects
to the SensorDAQ DIG Channel and provides useful current to digital output
lines. The DCU Control VIs allow you to easily build programs for
controlling these output lines, including outputs based on sensor readings and
outputs required for stepper and servo motors.
Low Level Drivers
In most cases the Express VIs, the DAQ Assistant, the Data Logging palette,
and the DCU palette provide the flexibility and power you will need for
creating your custom SensorDAQ program. The Low Level Driver VIs may
be useful if you do require more flexibility, and there are many examples in
the example folder with the name Advanced Low Level that show how to use
this palette. However, these examples also add more complexity.
