How to program a solenoid in Labview?

[nmjo225]

I was just given a project that needs these exact instruments to open solenoid locks. Can you lead me in a direction to get started with a possible example labview program.

Thanks

Unless you use the Arduino™ Compatible Compiler for LabVIEW from TSXperts then it can

There were several ideas mentioned in this thread, which "exact instruments" are you talking about?  What will you use to generate the digital signals?  How will you amplify that digital signal to provide the right voltage and current to drive the solenoid?  LabVIEW's DAQmx makes the actual coding trivial.   There are examples to get you started:  Help > Find Examples...  Hardware IO > DAQmx > Digital Output.
