Verify Data Acquired


As you will most likely notice, there are empty array elements in the output array on the Front Panel of this VI. See the previous array. There are very fundamental reasons I have left the VI as is (that is, if the purpose of the VI is to collect voltages, obviously we are not interested in blank array elements). Fundamental to data acquisition is verification of the data acquired in clearly defined milestones. Here we use "milestone" in the broadest sense of the word. A milestone may be the values a SUB VI is programmed to do or how a complete product is designed to function. Usually, a product is the end result of the labor of different teams of engineers working in collaboration. What may be considered the end of a working product (or part of a product) for a team of developers often is not where the collaborating team may be able to directly start to resume further development. A temperature sensor may send actual temperature values in string form, then again many...
