Digital Group Config.vi Channel List Question

[B_Myers]

I am having difficulty understanding the syntax for the Digital Group Config.vi Channel List input. I am using the PCI 6507 DIO-96 card and LabVIEW 6.1.

I would like to configure all three 8 bit ports on PPI 1,2,&3 for input using a single group. I then want to read the entire group and break out the indivual ports at that time. What would the syntax in the Channel List be to configure this group?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Check out Read from 2 Dig Ports(8255).vi in the digital I/O examples that ship with LabVIEW 6.1. You can easily adjust it to read from 3 digital ports.

Thanks RamziH for your help!

I have looked at this example and understand how it works. I still am confused as to how to configure the DI0-96, though.

The DIO-96 has four PPI's and each of these has three 8 bit ports. The examples I have looked at do not show any inputs that would control the specific PPI AND port.

Maybe I am just missing something with this.

Thank you very much for your help.
