Configure the direction of digital pins on the DAQmx

[Flowserve1]

I am using a PCI-6229 DAQmx card. I want to know if there is any way to configure the direction of the individual digital lines for input and output?

Hi Flowserve1,
you can set it with creating the digital channel. Depending on input or output connect the lines to it which you want to use as input or output.

Hope it helps.

I heard that the digital pins are grouped together and they are all tied to either input or output. I need to know how to configure them individually.

You heard wrong - at least for the board you are using. Some digital I/O on some boards can only be configured on a port basis. If you look at the specifications for the 6229, you will see that it states that 'Each terminal is individually programmable as input or output'. That measn you can do exactly what Mike said with the DAQmx Create Channel.
