channel names on PXI-6528 digital i/o

[Kasey]

I just installed a PXI-6528 card and am trying to access it in LabView. I checked that it worked using the test panels in MAX...when I applied 12V across two inputs, the indicator light came on. Keeping the wiring the same, I am trying to access the input using the niDAQmx vi's, but I don't know what to use as the channel name. I've been using the format "device\channel", which has worked for me with other niDAQmx devices. I've tried "dev2\ch0", "dev2\p0", "dev2\p0.0", "dev2\p0.0+", and probably some other ones too. Does anyone know the right format for the channel number?

Thanks.

Digital line channels are of the form Dev2/port[x]/line[y]. You can create a channel on a whole port with Dev2/port[x]. Alternatively, with most devices you can also use the form Dev2/line[x].

To see all the physical channels available in your system, create a DAQmx Physical Channel IO control, and you can select from a list of valid channel names.
