Output pulse with NI-Scope only, on 5102 PFI line

[emore]

The NI-Scope documentation briefly mentions a "Configure Digital Output" function, but it is not clear exactly what this does, and what parameters are available (e.g., pulse width, polarity, stand-off, etc...), or if it merely "configures", and another function is needed to actually generate the pulse.

Programming in VB, with NI-Scope, for the 5102, what NI-Scope function(s) would I call to initiate an output pulse on a PFI line? What parameters of the pulse can be controlled?

Thank you, Ed More

Hello Ed,

You need to use functions in NI-DAQ in either LabVIEW or ComponentWorks to do this. There are some examples and a knowlegdebase article that describe this.

Here are the links:

If the links do not work, go to developer zone and search on 5102 and pfi to find the examples and go to support and search in knowledgebase on 5102 and pfi for t
he knowledge base entry.
