Accelerometer: Can I do this with my labVIEW 8.2 Student Edition?

Dear anyone who reads this,

Sorry, but I'm still a beginner in this program. But I want to know if I can do this with labVIEW or not: I have an accelerometer sensor, attached to a flat surface. Of course there will be noise, but there will be times of impact forces that causes a significant acceleration to be detected by the accelerometer. I want to put a threshold to a certain extent so that only signals above specified scope will give data. Most of the time sounds will be below the threshold, but impact force will be causes acceleration to go above trigger level - by using a counter (to continually County time), I want to labVIEW to record and give wide/show time (which is recorded by the meter) at the moment the first data point is detected (which is the first data point magnitudes the trigger level).

Now, considering the impact creates soundwaves and they are very fast, as it takes a microsecond counter.

Is this possible?

A simple answer Yes or no would be greatly appreciated. Any additional comments are welcome.

Thank you

Hi Bangkok,

You will be certainly able to do this using LabVIEW, however, so far, the discussion has been clocked by the software approach.  In LabVIEW, rather than use the mask and the limit test VI, I probably just use the base level trigger found VI here instead.

For best performance, you must perform this trigger at the hardware level.  Any of our material of the M series low cost support material analog trigger.  You will program these devices with our driver OR DAQmx.  The installation of this driver includes many examples of LabVIEW which will help you in the right direction.
