External reed relays

[wasabi22]

Hi, i have an easy question but it is just to clarify things. I want open and close, through 8 digital outputs of a PCI 6733, 8 external TTL reed relays connected to a SCB-68 . I would like to send arrays of digital signals to control the opening and closing of external relays. can i use a vi as that attachment? I only write an array of binary (0 and 1) and they will be interpreted as TTL output levels and so drive relays?

thanks in advance

You should probably add a DAQmx timing function to control the interval between updates. Without one, I'm not sure what it will default to or whether you will get an error.

Hi,

I would also suggest to have a look to DAQmx examples for Digital Output (which you can find in LabVIEW Example Finder under Hardware Input and Output=> DAQmx=> Digital Generation) to have an example on how to generate digital data continously using a clock.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
