Question- CIO-DIO-48 card

[ciro_unc]

I was wondering if anyone had any information about interfacing Labview
with the CIO-DIO-48 card. I recently started learning Labview so any
help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.


thanks,

there are a couple of ways. One is to get the LV suport from the mfg. We have found their LV support to be marginal at best. The other is to code it yourself by using the port IO functions. Your card is pretty simple and you should be able to get the required info from the manual. This will work fine unless you have to use NT. The LV port IO functions are not supported under NT.

Hello ciro,

I see only two options, calling to the driver directly from CBoard's .dll file. To do this you will need to get all of the functions that are called in the .dll to talk to the board.
Or the CIO-DIO has a set of LabVIEW libraries that are supposed to interface to LabVIEW to give that card an easy interface to program. I do not know anything about these other than what is on CBoard's website.
If you are unable to get either of these to work, NI sells Digital boards that will work with LabVIEW. I hope this helps,

Thanks a bunch for the information!

Do you know where I can find these Labview libraries. I sort of
inherited this project and I am pretty clueless on where to start.

Thanks again,

I think that they available from Computer Boards only. I do not know what they charge for them, but you should be able to ge more information from their web site.
