Digital I/O VI's

Hello-

I am a little confused by the functionality of some of the digital I/O VI's. When you call DIO Start and you define a finite number of scans, does the VI execute and aquire the number of scans that you specified before going onto the next command, or does it start the process, go onto the next command and eventually finish sometime down the road while the top-level VI is executing? Does anyone know exactly how all of these vi"s function and execute and could maybe explain some of the more subtle nuances to me? I already know the actual definitions of the VIs and how to use them, it's just some of the timing and exactly what is executing when is where I am a little confused. Thank you.

Brian

If you're talking about DIO Read, it starts the acquisition and has to complete all scans before proceding. That's really the essence of dataflow programming with LabVIEW. If you have specific questions on where you're confused, ask away.
