How to turn on/off a device (120VAC/1.2A) using NI 9481 module with labview?

[robarts]

Hi,

I am so beginner. And would like to perform the above task, can I do such action using the above mentioned module for this application?  If yes the why when I tried to use a Daq assistant and a Boolean toggle switch, I could not connect the Bolean to any of the wiring points on the Daq assist?

Please help,

thanks

You'll have to show us your VI.

My guess is that the DAQ assistant wasn't configured properly for a single point digital output.  What did the error message say when you tried to connect it?

[robarts]

here is the code, you are probably right, the error says the two terminals you are trying to connect do not match, Boolean is a false/tru 1D, while Data is an array. I totally agree but where ele I can connect my switch to give the command on or off. (0,1)?

Try putting in a Build Array on that wire so that it takes the scalar value and builds it into a 1 element 1-D array.
