DAC-Card DIO 24 - Post Installation (Labview)

[iLZ]

I have Labview 7 Express and the DAQCard-DIO-24.

I followed this link: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/373235m.pdf, to confirm that the device is recognized. It even pasted the resources test.

What I want to do is use a labview VI to control the high or low state of a bunch of pins, how do I go about this? Thank you.

Hi iLZ,

I understand that you are trying to use your DAQCard-DIO-24 with LabVIEW 7.0. Which DAQ driver and version did you install to use with the DAQCard-DIO-24? To use NI-DAQmx with LabVIEW 7.0, you cannot use a version later than NI-DAQmx 8.1. The newer versions of NI-DAQmx are only compatible with LabVIEW 7.1 and later. You can also use the Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) driver with LabVIEW 7.0, though I would recommend using DAQmx. Once you have the proper driver installed, you can find LabVIEW examples by navigating to Help » Find Examples and launching the Example Finder. To find DAQmx examples specifically written for digital output, go to Hardware Input and Output » DAQmx » Digital Generation. If you are new to programming with DAQmx, I would suggest reading the tutorial titled “Learn 10 Functions in NI-DAQmx and Handle 80 Percent of Your Data Acquisition Applications”, which gives an overview of each of the basic functions such as creating the channel and writing the data to be output. Hope this helps,
