Hi Praveen,

You would want a combination of NI-DAQ function calls for input and for output. NI-DAQ ships with example programs for digital input and output for VC++ as long as you installed support for VC++ with your install of NI-DAQ.

You can do a repair on your install by going to Add/Remove Programs and adding the support from there. If you already have the support installed for it, you'll find your examples in the following directory: "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\VisualC".

The two examples you'll want to merge are:
1) DIdoubleBufPatternGen653x
2) DOdoubleBufPatternGen653x

Hope that helps. Have a good day.
