Signal Express for Dummies

Solved!
Go to solution

Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

I'm completely new to Labview Signal Express. I want to complete the following extraordinarily complex task: blinking an LED 🙂

Unfortunately I loose my way either in the documentation, in the help system and in Signal Express as well.

 

What I have:

- Signal Express and Measurement and Automation Explorer installed on my PC.

- cDAQ-9172 is connected through USB, it seems to work.

- NI9219, NI9205 and NI9403 are connected into the base (cDAQ-9172).

- an LED with serial resistor connected to NI9403's port0,0.

- "Getting Started with LabVIEW Signal Express" document, june 2012. It matches with the SW version. (so-so)

 

What I can:

- in Measurement and Automation Explorer, I can change the direction and the status of port0,0. This way, the LED is ON and OFF, if I toggle it manually. So, the HW is working.

 

What I can't:

- I'd like to do this LED to toggle, for exaple by 1Hz, automatically. Whatever I do in Signal Express, it never works.

 

What I need:

- Has someone so many patience, that he could help me? (Before I take a huge hammer which can solve most of the problems 🙂 )

 

Thans in advance: JeanTheDummy

Hi Jean,

 

why don't you ask your questions in the SignalExpress forum?

Best regards,

Gerd is right. This board is for LabVIEW - a complete and complex programming language. SignalExpress is an application created with LabVIEW. Not many people here are SignalExpress users. Sort of the difference between boards for c++ and excel.

Hi Gerd,

 

thank you for the link.

Me, as complete stupid, searched for the Signal Express forum in the Support page. There, I couldn't find it ...

 

Thans again, I go there!
