Need help controlling a relay with timer...

[mtgregor]

First off, as you'll soon find out, I have very minimal Labview experience... I was able to modify a timed while loop I found on the forums to perform our required function. I am now looking for assistance in using this vi to control a SCC-RLY01 (SPDT Relay) which is connected to our DAQPad 6020E.

Basically, we would like the relay to turn on when the "Start" button is pressed and remain on until the "Fill Time" has been reached.

Thanks for your help and please pardon my ignorance!

Here's one way that uses DAQmx. You can also use the DAQ Assistant in a similar way or traditional DAQ. There is also a different way to do the timing with a little less code. Look at the Elapsed Time function.
