How do you manipulate and display multiple DAQ channels?

[Jonnyboy117]

I have two sensors wired into the same DAQ (USB) module.  I can monitor the signals in LabView using DAQ Assistant, but I'm having trouble separating the channels.  I would like to display the signals on separate waveform charts and also apply different conversion formulas to each one before writing the data to a file.  However, I can't find any way to distinguish between the two signals in either of the express VIs for these tasks.  I can display both signals simultaneously in one or more charts, but I can't figure out how to make each chart display a different signal.  I searched through LabView help and finished the DAQ tutorial, but neither helped with this simple problem.  It's very important that I learn to work with multiple channels, because I'll eventually have even more signals coming into this DAQ hardware.

Hey Jonnyboy,
 
Check out the example called Select Signals.vi.  Are you using dynamic data?  Go to Help>>Find Examples... and type select as the search word. 
 
Basically you have to index the one that you want using the Select Signal express VI.
 
Hope that helps get you in the right direction.

Hi Jonnyboy1...,
use the "Split Signals" function. Resize it to the number of channels you need.
 
Hope it helps.

Thanks so much, guys!  I'll be trying it out today, but it sounds like exactly what I need.
