What LabVIEW functions do I use with BNC 2110?

[UbiquitousT]

I am in the process of learning LabVIEW and don't really know what I'm doing. I need to run a piece of equipment on LabVIEW through a NI BNC 2110. I can get the equipment running using the NI Measurement and Automation program, but I don't know the proper functions for use in LabVIEW. I need digital I/O as well as analog I/O. Any tips?

UbiquitousT,

The best way to get started is to read through the Getting Started with LabVIEW manual for your version of LabVIEW. You can download the manual at http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/MainPage?ReadForm&node=132020_US. After reading through this manual, specifically the data acquisition portion, you should know enough about LabVIEW to start tackling some of the pre-built examples. These examples are available inside the NI Examples Finder which you can launch from inside of LabVIEW by going to Help > Find Examples. If you browse to Hardware Input and Output > DAQmx > Analog Measurements > Voltage > Acq&Graph Voltage Int Clk.VI you will find a good place to start for Analog Input. A good DIO example to get started with is Write Dig Port.VI.
