Is max automation necessary to select DIO?

[labview1958]

I have a labview block diagram for running a stepper motor. Is max automation necessary to select DIO line for STEP, CLOCK, DIRECTION and PRESET? If so, how do I select or configure which line goes where?

Hello,

You should be able to set those configurations programmatically in LabVIEW. For example, browse to the Advanced Digital I/O functions pallete and you should find the Port Config VI. Among other things, you can use this VI to configure the line direction for your digital port. If you need to look at some examples, feel free to look at the shipping examples that come with LabVIEW and our developer zone.

Take care,

Hello Lee,

Is the PORT config. VI found in Labview 6.0. The digital port VI does not have a line number.

Hello,

Yes, the Port Config VI is found in LabVIEW 6.0
You are correct in that the Digital Port VI does not have a line number.
However, browse into the Advanced Digital I/O sub-palette which is located in the same sub-palette as the Digital Port VI. It is in this sub-palette that you can access the more advanced digital I/O VIs.
