Dear LabVIEW Experts,
Can someone please explain port format for digital writes? I just got a new Omega OM-USB-1208FS and I'm trying to use its digital i/o lines to control LED sequences (there are 8 LEDs total and I'd like to make a VI that will turn on given LEDs based on maybe a bool array or something like that). I was thinking maybe port format would treat my U8 input like a bit vector and write it to the 8 lines in the port, but from testing it I can see that's not what's happening. If anyone could tell me how port format actually works, or better yet a good way to make the VI that I mentioned above, it'd be appreciated.
Thanks
P.S. I'm using the ULx VI's, and the block diagram is attached.
Solved! Go to Solution.

nevermind that, a write digital port vi just snuck its way into my labview folder 🙂 lol
