Timed automation of SCC-RLY01

[CasperTesting]

I am very new with LabVIEW and I think what I'm trying to do is very simple. I have a SCC-RLY01 in a SC-2345, which is connected to a PXI-6070E. The RLY01 is wired to a NO relay. In my VI, I have a toggle switch to control the relay, and it works great. What I want to do is, when I run the VI, I want the relay to close for a finite amount of time and then open, and then the VI will end. I can't seem to figure it out. I'd like to do it by wiring something to the DAQ Assistant. Thanks.

Blaze,

To accomplish this, you will need to fist call a DAQ Assistant to close the relay. Then, to dictate how long the relay remains closed, you should call the Time Delay Express VI (Functions >> Time & Dialog) and configure it for the correct amount of time. Finally, you should call another DAQ Assistant to open the relay. Additionally, to enforce the execution sequence, you should connect the VIs with an error cluster (DAQ Assistant -> Time Delay -> DAQ Assistant).

Good luck with your application.
