SCB-68 write bits to certain pins

[Navid]

Hi!

I am not sure if this question is correctly formulated but here goes... I want to write to the digital IOs of a SCB-68 from labview through a daqpad-6020E but I dont know how to do this. What I want to write is some sort of test to make sure the the TTL IO on the controller we are testing is working, sort of like 6-bit 101010 or something like that and then switching and checking to see if the controller is responding correctly... Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Navid

Hello Navid,

There are a couple places you could check your digital inputs/outputs.  In Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), you can run the test panels, and use the Digital I/O panels to change the digital lines.  In MAX, under Devices and Interfaces>>NI-DAQmx Devices, right click on your device and choose Test Panels, then click on the Digital I/O tab.  If you wanted to automate the process, you could write a program to change the output.  If using LabVIEW, you can go to Help>>Find Examples.  Then navigate to Hardware Input and Output>>DAQmx>>Digital Generation, then an example like "Write Dig Port.vi".  That would be a good starting place.  Hope this helps!
