Setup Guide for Vibration Lab

This document provides instructions for setting up National Instruments hardware and DasyLab software to acquire vibration data using an accelerometer. It describes how to create an NI-DAQmx task to read acceleration data from channel 0 where the accelerometer is connected. It also explains how to configure the sampling rate and block size in DasyLab for the experiment. Following these steps allows vibration data to be measured and recorded for experiments in the vibration laboratory course.
