I want to set or reset Ports on my PXI-6508 by using an array! Does anyone have an idea how to start this project?

[GM.PTH]

The reason for this is, that I need my application to be kind of automated, so I want to read a fixed array to achieve this!

GM.PTH,

From your post, I am unsure of what you are trying to accomplish, and I also do not know what programming language you are using. If you could post more details about your application and the development environment that you are using, it might make it easier for this forum to help you with your application.

Incidentally, if you are using LabVIEW, simply using a constant on your block diagram instead of a front panel control can allow you to set your digital ports to a specific configuration. This would allow you to set the digital lines to a specific state without requiring the user to do anything. This may be what you are looking to accomplish. If not, please post more details about your application.

Hi!

Thanks for your comment!
I am using LabView 7. with the Ni PXI-6508!
Yes and i do not want the user to set or reset the digital lines!--> this should be automated!

GM.PTH,

If you are using LabVIEW, then the suggestion in my previous post should work for you.

If you currently have a front panel control that you would like to replace with a constant, just find that control's icon on the block diagram, right click on it, and choose Change to Constant. If you just want to create a constant, you can right click on the VI terminal that you want to wire a constant to, and choose Create >> Constant. This should achieve that behavior that you are looking for.

Hi,

I feel it can be done in Labview. Pl. clarify your requirement by writing in details.
