Hi,
I'm new to labview and I need to make a variable voltage output with a maximum of 5V. I have a PXI 1042Q with a PXI 7842R card connected to a SCB-68 connecting board. I understand the hardware, the pins and more but can't seem to get anything out of the board. Due to my lack of experience in labview I have no clue how to make this with the software. I already realised the channel of the SCB into labview, so I can drag them into my VI.
So basicly I'm stuck with my VI, I don't find how I need to progress in my VI. Do I need some sort of input or starting point? Or some kind of voltage source with 5V to the output channel?
Somebody with a good (simple) example? Thanks!

That is an FPGA board. So you will have to program the FPGA with LabVIEW FPGA. I do not recommend newbies to attempt to go down that path. There is a lot to keep track of (host VI, FPGA references, communications between targets which could be front panel writes or DMA FIFOs, etc.). I recommend getting a simple DAQ board, like a PXI-6229. Then you can use the much simpler DAQmx API, which has plenty of examples to get you started.
