DC-Voltage by digital io

[Piiwee]

Hi everyone,

I´m new to LabView and still a student either so please tolerate me if i do ask a stupid question

I want to generate a digital signal in a form of a DC-Voltage. Most of the examples that I found are using the counterout line to generate the digital signal. My problem is by using a counterout line, my generated signal is in a form of a pulse signal, meaning it has its requires a high and low time (refering to the example: Gen dig pulse.vi). What I need right now is a simple programm that can generate a dc signal once a button is pressed.

Thanx

I am everything but a software and/or LabView specialist. But I thing the solution is pretty simple. You will have to use one of the general purpose digital i/o lines, initialize it to output and then change its state on the condition that the pressed button is detected. The latter can also be done by polling a dig i/o line (initialized as input, of course). Some devices also have input lines which can be used as a trigger input, when using one of these this case you don't have to poll the push button input.
