Hey delanecl
If the output from the transformer is just a voltage, you can read it with myDAQ without any extra hardware
Here is a tutorial on reading voltage with myDAQ and LabVIEW

PS: as far as capitalization goes it is always "myDAQ" and "LabVIEW" (Lab Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench)
