Getting all 8 lines of PCI-6534 card operational

[JuniorEgg]

I've recently purchased a PCI-6534 and am trying to do some simple applications to learn more about it and LabView. Unfortunately - only 3 or 4 of the Digital Lines for each port are working. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might configured wrong?

I'm trying to use the examples from the 653X.llb: "Read from 1 Port" , "Read from 2 Ports"

Thanks for the assistance!

Hi:

Have you tried testing the lines in Measurement & Automation Explorer? To test the ports in Measurement & Automation Explorer, expand devices and interfaces; right click on the PCI-6534 and select test panels.

You can use pin 1 which supplies constant 5V to test the ports:

port 0(Lines 0:7) -> pins 10,44,45,12,13,47,48,15.

Also try writing to the lines and see if that works. If it does not work in Measurement & Automation, the card might be bad. So its good place to check first.
