Re: Max Botix Range finder help???

MaxBotics provides a Quick Start Guide which explains how to provide power and how to read the analog output. You can connect all three pins (+, -, and AN) to one of the Analog Breakout channels on the cRIO module in slot 1.

To use it in LabVIEW, open the analog input channel where you have it connected and just get the voltage. With the 5v supply from the breakout, you will read approximately 9.766mV per inch.
