How do I write to a digital port using NI-DAQmx in Labview 6.1?

[WU undergrad]

I recently purchased a USB-6501 DI/O device which runs on NI-DAQmx. When I installed the new software the functions I required in Labview (Write to Digital Port.vi) was no longer available and I cannot find a substitute on the function palette. If anyone knows how to remedy this problem I would be most grateful.

Hi WU undergrad-

NI-DAQmx does not support versions of LabVIEW earlier than LabVIEW 7.1.  Write to Digital Port is a Traditional NI-DAQ function and is not supported by NI-DAQmx.  In order to use your USB-6501 with LabVIEW you will need a newer version.  Once you upgrade, you can find examples in the NI Example Finder under Help>>Find Examples in LabVIEW.

Hopefully this helps-

Hi WU-

I mistyped- LabVIEW 7.0 and later are supported by NI-DAQmx.  I had a long afternoon yesterday.
